I think it would be funny if the not cabal had to pull straws, and the one that has the Blizzard logo has to be responded for a hypothetical guild phasing.
So a lottery but whomever wins responsibility.

I could see that. I do have a suggestion of my own, however.
I propose and anarcho-democratic commune. It is a social/political organization where a “society or community” is structured into an autonomous, self-governing organization which is based on direct democracy where members contribute what they are able too.
Any positions of power or leadership would be decided by direct election and would be for a finite period of time.

Maybe something like a bi-monthly leadership rotation using a pool of either elected or open ballot system?
Just in case someone feels like pausing their subscription, they could pass it to whoever gets most votes.
Exception: Once a month, members of the cabal submit neighborhood requests and change ideas to Blizzard in the form of Turkish Oil Wrestling. Winner gets to decide if the changes are implemented or not.

I’m cool with that. But the oil is so hard to get out of fur.
I’m mean I’ve heard that it is. I wouldn’t know.

They deliver to Azeroth, right?
Want me to be your neighbor? Sadgati will cut the same strip of grass along the shared fence all day!
I mean, Blizzard went there with the Tauren/Pandaren lesbian couple with their adopted Vulpera daughter and the fur joke, but it does make me wonder, just how much care does a Tauren, or any other furred/scaled character, need to take? Like, are there grooming services? Tauren probably tend to each other’s coats, hooves and horns as a community/family bonding thing, especially given how cracked or damaged hooves can be excruciatingly painful for a cow to deal with.
Is it considered a faux pa in Worgen/Gilnean society to start scratching a Worgen on ‘the spot’? You know how most dogs have that one spot somewhere on their body that if you start to scratch it, they can’t help themselves and have to start waving a leg in the air or start wiggling madly because that is the spot Oh Dog yes! and their omnipotent weird bald ape friend is the best in the world for finding it again?
Does Mia Greymane keep her husband in line and in his human form by threatening him with ‘skritchees’ in front of his friends? I kind of like the image of Genn boasting about how he’s the man of the house and the patriarch of the family, Mia just smiles, puts out her hand and calmly says “Shake.” and Genn just automatically puts a paw/hand in hers and carries on for several seconds before he realises what Mia has done, turns to look at her and is just greeted with a small, smug smile?

I’ve always imagined that Kina had trouble with matting fur due to some armor and what she would need to wear underneath the armor.
I also think that those with fur are going to be a lot less bound to human ideas of modesty since they aren’t showing bare skin and armor on top of fur in the summer can be unpleasant, I would imagine.
Though some of this would depend on the type, thickness, and length of the fur. I’ve also always imagined that Kina has runes etched into her horns, and that horns are generally kept well polished. Same with hooves mostly, but I know that hooves can be problematic with cracking and other things.
Considering how rude it is to touch anyone without permission, I think you know the answer to that one.

And yet people don’t seem to mind doing it to me!
Raaaaaaaaaaaaagh
But more, I imagine a partner or friend or team-mate doing it and the Worgen is left sitting there, trying to scratch themselves with a leg due to involuntary response.

Still a little rude. Also people shouldn’t just touch you, Gentarn. Are you sure they’re not trying to roll you in the grass?
Or is it just Craybait who’s touching? She doesn’t count.
Edit: Do we want a theme for our neighborhood? Any ideas? Adventurers? Crime? Military? Flowers?

I take S.E.L.F.I.E.s with anyone I recognize that’s afk. Touching is incidental.

You haven’t been linked to a bunch of Vulpera selfies involving them and your afk character that probably got me put on a list.
On a less unibrow note, I kind of like the idea of a community of Adventurers/Ex-Adventurers because they just don’t … fit in anywhere else. Too much forbidden knowledge, too many scars, and an unspoken agreement that if they’re all living within easy reach of each other, the next Great World-Ending Threat won’t need the Alliance or the Horde to send agents scattering across Azeroth trying to find whatever hole the Champions have stuffed themselves into this time.

That’s kind of the premise behind the Arcantina. A safe place where Azeroth’s heroes can hang out away from day to day stuff and relax with others of their ilk.

I’m actually sort of excited about the Arcantina. I don’t know why really, but I like the idea of hanging out with different lore characters.

The thing I’m excited about with the Arcantina comes down to two reasons:
- Replacement Dalaran, and who built it?
This is neutral ground, a place where the Champions of the era can gather in peace and either find common ground, hammer out agreements if they can’t do that, and plan out strategies against shared threats in relative peace.
But the question is, who built it, and if they’re still around, are they okay with us using it like this? I’m not in the Testing, but I’m hoping it is Khadgar and Modera with a handful of apprentices who decided they weren’t cut out for the Battlemage lifestyle, and Dadgar and Momdera get to live out what remains of their lives in relative peace, with found family, in a home all their own that isn’t forced onto the frontlines of the next Cosmic Threat of the Week.
- It is Evergreen content.
Being a magical demi-plane outside of time and space, it can go anywhere, be used for anything, and remain safe against outside forces for the most part. It is a cottage-core Dalaran that doesn’t come with the threat of a floating island on which a city packed with Mages, artefacts and crazy murder hobo adventurers that Dalaran unfortunately came to represent.
We can finally go to places and explore again because we have the Mystery Magical Tavern that can pop up anywhere we need it, and we don’t need every bloody new continent or island-chain to have some strange long-lost offshoot or monster race that somehow also speaks flawless Common and Orcish and will accept our currency in trade without question.
