I'm afraid you're nicer than I, I'd have told him he's playing a human in a druchii house and he should be glad we haven't sold him off as stock yet and if he didn't like it then perhaps a heavy RP dark elf guild wasn't for him :P&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;My prior guild actually had a portion of it's application that informed you if you played a lesser race you were expected to understand that you were a slave of the house and would be treated as a lesser. There was another portion of their charter that stressed that if I a disagreement arose between a dark elf and a lesser you were expected, as a dark elf, to side with your kin no matter if they were right or wrong. Everyone who joined agreed to both, and oddly, they had more non-DE than they did DE. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When/if I ever get around to playing my zealot or squig herder neither will have any problem  being pushed around. It's just what I'd expect you to expect, going into a druchii house. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sevren's a very easy going character with a twisted sense of fun and a lot of humor. Those things together make it terribly hard to make her deeper emotions and intricacies clear in public. And I'm sure to most she appears rather flat. It's sad that so much of the defining RP has to happen in relative private.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/7330365056632597194/comments/default/2007189716998891434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/7330365056632597194/comments/default/2007189716998891434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://obsessive-focus.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-it-means-to-be-druchii.html?showComment=1226776800000#c2007189716998891434' title=''/><author><name>Ainilome</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15691544909885836960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06037215623461124840'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://obsessive-focus.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-it-means-to-be-druchii.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279373498286308570.post-7330365056632597194' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/posts/default/7330365056632597194' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279373498286308570.post-4810073149951907960</id><published>2008-11-14T20:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T20:02:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>You make some very valid points, and ones I've con...</title><content type='html'>You make some very valid points, and ones I've concerned myself with a lot.  I often worry that Caliga's too nice, though in truth he has some RP going on with a few guild members and he most certainly isn't nice.  But the face the "guild" sees as a whole is a nice one, for the most part.  I, as a guild leader, had to address a concern a member was having once, about druchii being nasty to his Zealot.  I explained the situation and told him to perservere, but you can see how some people don't like it.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, there's nothing worse than a guild chat that consists of nothing but insults and bickering, which it sometimes degrades to.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;For me, publicly I play Cal as someone who couldn't care less about any member of the House, so long as they fight and do what they're told.  Privately he's, thankfully, a deeper character.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/7330365056632597194/comments/default/4810073149951907960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/7330365056632597194/comments/default/4810073149951907960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://obsessive-focus.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-it-means-to-be-druchii.html?showComment=1226721720000#c4810073149951907960' title=''/><author><name>caliga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14877051396492588029</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://obsessive-focus.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-it-means-to-be-druchii.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279373498286308570.post-7330365056632597194' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5279373498286308570/posts/default/7330365056632597194' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
