yep yep. my position is blood elves are high elves and so playable. turns out thats what blizzard thinks as well
the problem is what they want, alliance high elves to be thematically and visually different from blood elves to justify their inclusion as an AR, is impossible. that is what blood elves are, they are horde high elves. blood elves are the high elves of quel’thalas proper and the high elf theme and aesthetic are horde now. they are, as has been said repeatedly, the same people
they can never be an AR. if the request was to make high elves neutral it would make sense but even then the overwhelming majority of high elves identify as blood elves and are aligned with the horde
So first it was a red herring, now it is a strawman – you really just like pretending that things you aren’t capable of answering are fallacies, eh?
You’re right, and the context is High Elves as an Allied Race. So if your talking about the Silver Covenant, and whether or not they’re important enough to the narrative to become the nucleus for playable High Elves, you’re not discussing things within the context of the OP.
I’d advise taking your own advice, or going back to MMO-C and posting your drivel there.
Yes, why would you admit that the Silver Covenant being relevant to the narrative didn’t matter… oh, wait, you already did:
I am not going to go into real world politics, but I think people need to be careful what they label ethnic cleansing. In it’s most basic form, you are correct, but when you think about the implications it’s just inflammatory.
And yes I get it (although I was left to believe they made one thing happen in the game and then decided it didn’t really happen like that). It wasn’t nice, but neither was Theramore. If she had just done it because she was just paranoid about having blood elves around I would have a completely different opinion.
No because it was negative no matter what. I think you picked it in an attempt to portray it as something more than it was, it’s why you mentioned blood elven Sunreavers and not the faction part.
And yes I know ethnic cleansing applies to more than just race. It also includes religion.
The Silver Covenant are composed of Alliance aligned High Elves. Discussing their relevance to making them a core of a future Allied Race is absolutely on-topic.
The fact you’re trying to flat out deny this discussion is quite ridiculous.
I get my terms mixed up when I am busy playing video games and not paying attention to nonsense arguments. Apologies, I shall devote my attention wholly onto dealing with what classifies as nonsense now.
ON second thought, no, its a nonsensical argument.
Aldo is that you? Is that why you’re being rather aggressive over the matter? Is that why you’re sticking words in people’s mouths? Why are you bringing up other websites up? Very sure that is possibly against the CoC. In anycase, I am not entertaining this any furthr.
If I was wrong, I would have said it now wouldn’t I? Context means something. You wanted to label it a certain way to make it sound like something it wasn’t, then attempted to pass it off as “oh I am just following the basic definition”. No freaking thank you.
It’s like when people try to say Teldrassil was about genocide. In it’s most basic form, it fits the definition, but when even I look at the context I know that wasn’t the intent.
I do not believe he is stating it in an inflammatory way. Simply stating it for what it was, which was an unjust attack on a group of people.
Well that was also part of the issue as well. Vereesa did not trust the blood elves without good reason. Her justification was “they’re part of the Horde, so they’re bad, we need to be ready for them constantly” culminating into the purge incident.
Blizzard can release Turd Golems as a Allied Race if they want, and they can come up with whatever lore and justification they want for it. Is their game after all isn’t it? If people say Turd Golems are cool, then they go for it, as the rule says.
It’s really silly to think people are arguing it’s not possible to give High Elves a new touch and direction in their story when Void Elves are just that, a new touch and direction in Blood Elf history.
You guys realize that the term lore is most closely approximated as “history”, right? If a group of High Elves falls into a vat of toxic waste, becoming Nuclear Elves, nothing about that goes against “lore”.
