Holysmokes look at all the RPs all of a sudden.
Yes I'm alive.

how would it go for a blood elfs in genesis out of curiosity?
Well, they wouldn't be a part of the Horde if that's what you're asking. I don't know how others would react to one either.

Well, I think the blood elves would still be something of free agents at the moment, as they haven't joined with the horde as of yet.

So still in their hunting for their High Elf cousins mode, to force them to become Blood Elves? Well, some of them at least.

i was thinking on how isolated they might be at the moment, like if they might help out their allies like the undead in let's say deathkneel or brill?

Since Sylvanas was apparently negotiating their admittance into the horde, I'd say it wouldn't be a stretch to do so.

Yes, but
at what point
did she start doing that? As you said, this hasn't had any patches or anything gone by, so it's only been five years since the battle of mount Hyjal, and we don't have any idea WHEN Sylvanas decided that the blood elves would be good allies.
Of course, given that it would give my character someone to talk to, I should probably just shut up.

True. However, since they are her (former) people, she would probably be entering into it as soon as she could, and as the blood elves don't exactly have any other friendly neighbors I doubt they wouldn't at least entertain the possibility.

The Blood Elves and the Forsaken got together shortly after the Sunwell Trilogy, which occurred a few months before the start of Vanilla; however, that was just the start of the negotiations, and most of the BE's were dealing with issues in their lands, so traveling to the rest of the continent would have been an incredibly rare thing.

Ugh...
This ad for Black Ops 2
just played before another video I was watching. I'm actually pretty offended. "There's a soldier in all of us." Because you can sit on your couch and play Call of Duty.
Soldiers have to loop tourniquets around the bloody, slippery stumps of their best friend's leg so he doesn't bleed out. Soldiers have to deal waking up every day and wondering if it will be their last day alive.
I have never been to combat, and I will freely admit it, but as someone who has worked with combat verterans for a significant amount of time, and was trained in combat medicine, I can safely say that combat sucks big ones.
Seeing Activision say that it's basically the same thing as shooting zombies in a video game is actually pretty irritating to me.

I didn't realize that this was possible.
But, nevertheless, yeah, it's a pretty !@#$ty thing to do. Then again, it's nothing less than I would expect from an advertising company. They don't really care about anything outside of profit, so... yeah... I doubt ethics ever entered into the equation.

Of course ethics would have entered the equation, advertising companies are not heartless bastards. If they went against ethics they would lose sales. This was a pretty ballsy move on their part but the effects in the commercial are sweet and it sends a message to their target audience - kids who want to play pretend and shoot %^&*. It's effective advertising.
Not saying I agree with the message - I completely understand what you are saying Skree and I think it's perfectly reasonable that you are offended.
I guess my response is more to HiVolt. I sincerely doubt the company was not giving a ^&*! and trying to offend soldiers and veterans by disregarding ethics about war and feelings. They were reaching their target audience, which judging by how many people I see spamming my FB with CoD statuses, was successful.
Not being pissy or upset here, just with a boyfriend going into graphic design and advertising I dislike when people make out advertising companies to be horrible money grabbing monsters.
Sooo, on another note, how is everyone? :D I can't believe how many RPs are on the board right now.

Hey MM long time no talk :)
I've been alright, sitting in my news writing class right now. Only four weeks left of the semester so it's getting a little crazy! I'm shooting and interviewing left and right. What are you going to college for? :)

Aw you guys ;) Maybe the old boardies are coming back again! Like old times /nostalgia ;)
And news writing is just what it sounds like, writing news articles. Bleh. Not my favourite thing. I'm in photojournalism so it's the second half haha.
Edit: I don't know if I've told anyone other than Adams, but I have started going through and transcribing the RPs my characters are involved in, copying and pasting my entire storylines into a word document. Eventually I will clean them up to read as an actual story as well. If anyone is interested in having copies once they are done let me know, but keep in mind they focus on my characters and plotline - if I wasn't interacting with you or in the same area, it won't be included.
So far I've done Travels of New Azeroth. Just under 6000 total posts and my plot arch alone is just over 47 000 words.
I'm just worried that eventually all the old RPs will be removed from the board as they get older!
