You want everyone to attend to be respectful? Then I don’t suggest actively making an event that is intentionally provoking the other side.
I actually encourage this event, it feels like it could lead to a lot of interesting roleplay. At the same time, it feels like you’re making a move that is intentionally provocative and then saying people shouldn’t feel annoyed or agitated. If you’re going to poke the bear, you should expect to at least have people roar back.
I’d suggest a compromise and host it in Org, but that would be going against your event.
There are people who dislike her even in Orgrimmar. No matter where you go. But either way it’s hard to make everyone happy. Pro sylvanas guilds are the minority now
It will always be impossible to make everyone happy, I won’t deny that. Perhaps, I am miss understanding something so be it. What I believe people are frustrated with is that you’re making an event intentionally spitting in the faces of traitors and not expecting them to defend themselves just because of an OOC reason.
I find it hard to believe that the Tauren would allow themselves to be walked on by a few Sylvanas sympathizers. Then again, if there is any Horde race that would set aside their blades for a conversation it would be the Tauren.
What I’m saying is that I feel like there is a double standard here, then again I might be wrong. Who knows.
Look, I cant stop people from showing up. It’s a game and it’s almost expected, due to all the advertising, but all I’m saying is that if you do, dont come in belligerently and start messing up the event by bladestorming in the middle of us and stuff like that.
The main reason for me asking people not to show up against the event is because I KNOW how some gamers are. They drop spells in the middle to troll just because they dont support it. That is all I am saying. That is what I mean about being disrespectful. Saying stuff outside our area is expected and I’m sure the tauren do too, but dont intentionally try to be mean to stir up an rp event. That’s it.
I doubt anyone was going to do this. I think the plan was more to come and start ICly telling you to stop being horrible sociopaths gloating over successfully enforcing a totalitarian police state.
Well then that will probably happen anyway. Regardless if I told them or not. I was mainly referring to people acting like trolls with it. That’s it. Just to be respectful of the event.
But its okay. At this rate, let’s just wait and see. No point in continuing this argument back and forth about it. If they show up, they just do. You cant stop it. They have a right as we do. shrugs
Not sure if you’re aware of this server’s history with kor’kron RP, but it’s safe to say that power tripping while hiding behind canon will never really find traction on this server again.
MoP was a horrible time for a lot of us because people RP’d as kor’kron and could do what they want because “I have authority ICly”. That’s why you’re getting this reaction. For the sake of clarity.
Okay well then we’ll keep it simple then. If you dont support the event, then simply dont show. That’s all. No one is making anyone go. Bottom line. We wont be bothering anyone. Just RP you never heard about it.
There is no powertripping here. It was just a guideline for my event. I’m not saying people cant come. I’m just asking people to be respectful of the event. That’s all. Again, if you do not like the event, you can keep it moving. If I never posted about it here, would you of known about it?
I dont mean any group any disrespect who believe any certain way about Sylvanas. It’s just a parameter of my event. No power tripping here. Simply a request of people being respectful.
Your RP is a good idea. I like it, it sounds neat.
You are hosting it in a deliberately provocative place though. And it’s public.
If you’re trying to be deliberately provocative, expect the provoked to respond. You can’t force them not to. And it actually makes sense for them to respond. So…
Let it happen! A few protesters won’t ruin your event.
Thank you for the support man. And yeah people are allowed to come. It may change some people’s minds about how they think, but if some are against it, it could even boost their RP experience. I might have some who are against the idea of her.
The only people I am saying that shouldn’t come are those who might be trolls who would disrespect the event. The people who would use toys and things like that to disrupt it just because they dont agree with it.
I agree! People trolling OOC are totally not on. IC responses, in my opinion, make an RP more interesting! It’s never as fun when the RP is purely an echo chamber of your own opinions, especially in a place as contentious as Thunder Bluff is right now!
Plus, I think you’ll actually get your message across better if there are people who respond - because in Thunder Bluff, they likely would. A show-of-force by Sylvanas’ loyalists will be interesting, and if it provokes a few people, it probably reaches its desired intent!
Good luck with the event - I hope it goes well and is interesting to attend for Sylvanas loyalists and anti-Sylvanas RPers alike!
(( Aelrindel, you just shouldn’t have kept responding to them. I understood what you meant and others did too.
I actually had a similar problem back in CATA when I was trying to do RP events that were against Sylvanas because that was a minority thing. Now the times have changed and though I love that the loyal ones are growing smaller, I love that there are players like you who want to keep that spark alive.
The Kor’kron comparison is unfair in my view. Garrosh was not as developed or as greatly loved as Sylvanas is, so the writers doing Her like this is worse than with Garrosh. Also, the Kor’kron were a faction of Orcs that came in and out of existence really quickly. Forsaken are a race that have been important since WC3.
