My analysis

Nappa · #1 05-16-2005, 03:07 AM

Being bored, I decided to make a stop at GK today to see how things were. When I got on, I got a bunch of pms. After saying hi and telling everyone how superior I am to them, I semi-got down to business.

Orcs.

I went on today and recruiting a few people to be Orcs with me. We had fun, first starting with silly RP, then got more serious as we went along. We declared that we owned Forest, which some people actually believed, and we declared war on CP.

At first, me and Alan were doing some good RP. Some pirates were actually going with it too. However, that is when things went down hill. The extent of many of the CPs view on rp was "That guy is evil, let us get him to the spar arena and kill him 900 times." After dieing many times without even being able to talk, I got tired. Right now I am on GK, being continuously killed at the spar arena by CP guys as we speak. So, I come to this conclusion.

People want to RP. They are just completely ignorant of how to do so, and think game mechanics is what determines it. Their needs to be an evil kingdom (Orcs, or so). I am not saying I should run it, but someone who has the full intent to start wars should. However, wars does not exactly mean send your 2 strongest people in, and whoever wins, wins. Fighting is actually pretty fair, from what I see. People are about evenly equipped now adays, so that shouldn't be a problem. However these people do need to be tought that pking someone continuously is not RPing. It is just plain annoying.

Nappa and myself owned GK for those good 30 minutes. It was funny, some players actually thought Nappa and myself had taken over Forest/GK and were going to eat the players babies. It was hilarious.

I sincerely disbelieve anyone actually believed you would eat their babies.

Nappa is quite convincing.

This is true.

I am quite known for my baby eating abilities.

Great, I let my Gold account run out and I actually miss some good (atleast sounds like) roleplaying all of a sudden. Maybe when I upgrade again this can continue. This is a long post since it's my only one, I'll make it count.

Kingdoms are crap right now. Pirates simply have numbers, which they think makes them the best kingdom. In fact, most kingdoms are like this. There are some good RPer's out there. I have some good times in Forest roleplaying with Zxion, Lasaria, and others. But it doesn't extend anywhere beyond our own kingdom.

The fact that every kingdom is neutral to each other is boring and shows the inactivity of each kingdom. I agree with Nappa, the most fun I've had on Graal 2001 was when: Curon tried to overrun every kingdom, I wrecked havoc with the Orcs with Brad, Madmartigan and Geno, and when GP had his hell kingdom (the name slips my mind now) and tried to take over kingdoms. However, all the different armour and levels

I'll say it again, RP Admin! They can easily organize events, make sure kingdoms and more importantly kingdom leaders are active, and help control the problem with PKing during RPing. More importantly, kingdom wars are simply who has the highest level people, so something should be done to control this and even this out a bit more.

Oh the good two hours (or so) that we had tonight probably wont happen for a while. I mean, of course, I could lead an Orc revolution, but what good is an Orc revolution without king Nappa?!?

Nappa · #8 05-16-2005, 04:23 AM

Dunno. I do plan to come and continue my Orcish ways sometime, but until I get my equipment back from Cross, I can't do anything without being senselessly pked everywhere for "being that evil guy".

And I feel bad for getting my equipment back from Cross, because he plays alot more then me (I think)

Lol, sounds fun

Chris · #10 05-16-2005, 04:15 PM

CP sucks. A member challenged me to a fight and when he realized I could defeat him in 3-4 hits he runs away crying to his governor. Then Alan comes to interrupt the fight. Yea, woo-hoo CP!

Please come back Nappa.

xAndrewx · #11 05-16-2005, 06:14 PM

Who's Alan? What's his account?

2003_emily_2003 · #12 05-16-2005, 06:19 PM

This would be fun, my gold runs out very soon and I am in the middle of deciding if I should upgrade... Wait... I have another account with a year worth of gold time... Anyways, if there was a orc kingdom or whatever, i'd join it, I joined the Orc guild Nappa made (although I ended up being the hordemaster's slave...) GK needs something like this to keep the players amused or somewhat. But anyways what's a orc kingdom without Hordemaster Nappa running the show. Blah I'll go on GK now, I don't feel like playing... The other game...

xAndrewx · #13 05-16-2005, 06:23 PM

I love the Orc shield, do you?!

Waltz5 · #14 05-16-2005, 07:08 PM

Proposition:

- Revamping all the kingdoms at this point, clear slate, since they are just glorified guilds. They never should have gotten to this point and honestly I can't think of any other way to put the Kingdoms back in Graal Kingdoms. Doesn't take a genius to write new leaders into the "storyline" of each kingdom so the past is not forgotten. You already have Ed stepping down... it's just three others and Forest and CP is easy as cake to put new leaders in.

- RP Admin. They can easily organize events, make sure kingdoms and more importantly kingdom leaders are active, and help control the problem with PKing during RPing. More importantly, kingdom wars are simply who has the highest level people, so something should be done to control this and even this out a bit more.

That's my post for the day... discuss,

please.

And give people more incentive to fight wars.

Or we could just boot the women from power. We all know that they just want to skip around, hold hands, and be friends. How DID they get power anyway?

Dude, are you wanting to be completely flamed? That is one of the most sexist statements I have ever read on these forums...

I don't think he's talking about women in general, just the women leading kingdoms ?

You know, that comment that he made may seem sexist, but it is quite true.
