Arwen's comment that the Orcs may be good and Dustari may be evil forced me to.

I'm just saying it's a bad habit to get into to always assume that your country, or whatnot, is on the good side and the other is the evil one. That's how all these kids in the world become racist, nationalist, etc.

It's different in RPing though, because Brad is trying to be the "bad guy".

Should maybe try repairing some of the castle walls. Wood burns quite easily.

Maintainence on castle walls? when did this happen?

I don't see the problem. It's a game, having a struggle of "good vs. evil" in rping is fun. It's not doing any harm, and it isn't like they are going around stealing from every house and hacking while RPing O.o

Well yes, but the problem is that why would anyone want to be the "evil" person?

Hey Brad,

How old is your orc character?
Since I don't believe you restarted since you were our General, does this mean you've always been an orc?

I'd like to hear what happened between this orc and anu, and the reason for your revenge. Also, technically just for RPing sake, is Mark L Amelyn even anu?? If they are the same, are your characters the same?

This is getting confusing, please let us in on the history here.

Since obviously you're trying to make me look bad, lemme give you it. Banthar Gorikol was an ORC general, always was. Ask Larrien. Don't gotta restart a game to change chars. I use the name anu for mark, excuse me for not being as smart as you. Anu banished the General Banthar from the kingdom of Dustari. In spite of what Anu did Banthar gathered orc warriors he had trained in Dustari to join a small tribe which lived in Northern Dustari. Calling them the Lallik, he attacked.

Not too difficult to understand, bright guy.

To Ed:

I was just kidding, we got let in. "I got friends in low places!"

TO Googi:

Being evil is fun to me. Excuse me for having fun.

Points of View...
In WW2...
The Allies said they were the good side
The Axis said they were the good side
Both were on the good side... but they both thought the other side was the bad guy.

The people of Astri believed they were doing good, but the world thought they were doing bad. Another sign of Point of View.

Dustari can be an evil Reign of Terror type Monarchy, we conquer the world, enslave the Zormites and the Samurai, kill the Foresters, and drown the Pirates. To us, we'd be the good guys.

So it's a good habit to thinking your nation is on the good side for the sake of RPing.

I wasn't trying to make you look bad, I was trying to figure out what was going on. My only history with orcs doesn't come from graal, but from AD&D (8 yrs ago), where they aren't exactly general material.

Also, I thought you left Dustari over Aramas stealing a Ring of Theives from you, and didn't know about the bone to pick with anu (although everyone seems to have good one).
Also, as anu wasn't even the King (okay, he was but only as a bad joke on Larrien's part) I didn't see the relavence of attacking Dustari. Looked like you were just bored and wanted to go in and make a mess for someone else to clean up

So thanks for explaining it, much appreciated. I might be blunt but I wasn't trying to make you look bad, I wanted an explanation to see if you were making yourself look bad, and you had a reasonable explanation.

Don't blame me for inquiring, if you RP an attack on a Kingdom, destroy a bunch of ships, make a total mess, if you don't give the background info, you can't blame us entirely if we suspect you were just acting like a jerk.

I don't have anything against people playing evil characters, as long as they don't use it as an excuse to simply annoy people.

So who are the orcs in Dustari?
They should be quite visually distinct from the humans, so they should stand out well. For the purpose of good RPing, I'd like to be able to know these folks when I see them.

Do you need everything to be so ****ing literal? For one, orcs AREN'T ONLY IN D&D. Thanks! Once again, I got re-added to Dustari becamse me and Aramas made up, then anu removed me. That too hard to understand? About being so literal, I tried to rp I had orcs in Dustari army; sorry for trying. I guess I'll try to make everything seem perfect now. I blame nothing on anyone, I am a jerk.

But this time Brad explicitly stated that he was the "bad guy".
