Raaah

Also I've seen worse rp in Botb, you didn't complain then. Rather you encouraged it, claiming that anyone who didn't approve wasn't forced to be involved. Well nobody's forcing you to be involved in this either so shut up already.

the more interesting part of this thread is that there are at least 67 people on this board that vote on poles.

The forum is dark, and full of lurkers.

nice to know im being talked about without my involvement in this thread, to start.. indeed with ewrts next post after the above quoted.. from mons view she had a full loving relationship from delidahs view it was fuck buddy.. that but is true But I will say from my knowledge of delidah then and now, you couldn't be more wrong on your facts.,.. if your going to go naming in the attempt to shame on this forum.. at least get your facts right first, as now you just look like an idiot

by **Seranita** Mon Oct 20, 2014 10:49 pm

furthermore to add.. the only humans to dwell on tanarisan as far as I am aware as given by questlines pre cata..the only ones residing in tanaris, are pirates that got shipwrecked, best you can do is rp as a group of humans that got shipwrecked a number of years ago.. but as far as culture goes? there is very little.. if any lore to support it

I've been made aware that Botb has some interesting individuals in it already Bradley. By the way, can you PM me your Skype Bradley?

BotB is actually a pretty unique guild from my experiences on this server and other RP ones. It's open enough for nearly any character concept to join, it has consistent RP (usually DMed) events and for a guild that is now about a year old - it's still going very strong. The calendar hasn't lessened in events. It also hosts a good OOC community that rarely finds itself buried knee deep in drama. Don't judge the guild based on your opinion of a few of its members, it's a solid but simple concept.

by **Kayle Ravelle** Tue Oct 21, 2014 6:59 am

Is there no contingency for an individual story to be that they came from Tanaris? Perhaps their father was a treasure hunter or something, established a home in the desert?

I get that it's a stretch but this whole arguement could be better spent on something genuinely ridiculous.

Also, you can't have pretty unique, Vaell.

It's unique or it isn't.

by **Muzjhath** Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:56 am

Same as there are degrees of right and wrong. There are degrees on unique. Every person has unique DNA (Aside from some very few exceptions but even there difference exists I believe (talking 'bout maternal twins)), however the uniqueness in personal DNA on the whole is extremly tiny compared to the full code.

And while (from what I know) BotB don't care much about sillyness and stuff of that nature they from what I've read try to be somewhat based on lore, if for RP in the funny side of WoW. Instead of inventing stuff that's stated outright not to be.

Personally I've always seen the Tanarisi culture stuff as dodgy since I tend to try to be true(ish) towards WoW Lore on the big things. Even if that always doesn't work. (And I hate some of the silly stuff in WoW lore and on the whole find the writing team at blizzard to be fairly bad).
So, could you RP someone that's from Tanaris? Yes ofcourse. But imo if you do. Stick with RPing a pirate or bandit or somesuch.

That's a pretty accurate description of what the guild is about, actually. Well done!

Amaryl, shut up. Read the thread title. "Tanarisi Humans Discussion". This is meant to be a discussion. Nobody is telling anybody that they can't RP whatever they want. We're discussing whether or not a native tanarisi culture is compatible with the Warcraft lore, considering Blizzard's official stance on the matter.

Ixirar/Kavalis wrote:Then the players can go there and establish that culture, in the present time. Nothing is stopping them from proclaiming themselves the citizens of the Caliphate of Tanaris or whatever it is they want. If there are no native humans in Tanaris in the game world, and Blizzard states that the Wastewanders aren't native... I think it's pretty safe to say that there aren't natives in Tanaris.

Again, nothing stops players from just going there and saying "We're Tanarisi NOW". However, the fact that they weren't there before the Wastewanders means that it must be acknowledged that it's something going on NOW, not something that has been going on for generations.

That would be the best way to handle the situation.

No sense shoehorning anything in, but if people wan't to go play Aladdin then feel free, within the correct context.

No you're not. This entire thread is poorly thought out, and badly argumented from the flawed poll to flawed arguments starting with the OP. There is no sensible discussion going on here besides: No! and Yes!

The Sole fact that the supposed lore we're discussing in this thread is not mentioned, it is not linked it is not pruned for the particulars; because apparently it is assumed everyone here knows exactly what is being discussed, renders the entire "discussion" pointless.

A: The Wastewander Bandits descend from a small band of human pirates who arrived in Kalimdor shortly after its discovery by the peoples of the Eastern Kingdoms.* When the Southsea pirates arrived and entered into competition with them, they were essentially marooned in Tanaris after their few ships were stolen. They took to a new life as bandits and started raiding rich goblin settlements and capturing their life-giving water wells. After the failure of Uldum’s cloaking device a few bandits split off from the Wastewanders to pilfer the treasures of the titans.

*Meaning no humans there as it was not previously discovered by them.

It contradicts lore severely, not okay with it.

There. That's the official lore on it. It was quoted on page 2. This is Blizzard's official words on the matter.

Is this okay, or will you go back to pretending we're trying to be the RP Police?

'Ixirar's discussion of the topic at hand:

Ixi, you have one post in this thread that actually discusses the two points being raised in the OP. (Is it widely regarded and does it contradict the lore)

I'll be fair and make that two posts because in your last you just quoted vardrek, but that's just me being fair. the brunt of your participation in this thread has been to tell people that this thread is for a discussion.

The lore for Tanarasi humans is shaky, but who really cares? It's a fun flavor to have around that would otherwise not be available. It adds something without taking anything away. I say go for it; have fun!

Do you agree that the concept of Tanarisi culture is widely regarded on the server?
