@buoyant stratus if the elves don't have kids, how do they make more of them?
spice goblet
ok, but if it's rare, wouldn't they die out of underpopulation/ inbreeding?
spring heath
No, cuz they live so long
spice goblet
ok, but how often are elven children born?
spice goblet
spring heath
-.- I know what it IS
buoyant stratus
Chuckles
spice goblet
maybe, but u should read it
spring heath
Nah
spice goblet
;-;
that explains my claim that inbreeding sucks.
i mean, ofc it does, but genetically it doesn't help anyone.
spring heath
I know why, I have relative sense
buoyant stratus
For some reason, anything that just lives a long time doesn't reproduce a lot. Anything that lives short has tons of babies. It's just the way nature has set itself up, so blizz did the same thing with longgevity races.
spice goblet
"Viable inbred offspring are also likely to be inflicted with physical deformities and genetically inherited diseases"
spice goblet
alright

@spring heath wrong way around, nozdormu refused to bless teldrassil iirc
spring heath
But then eventually they offered to do it anyway
Like, down the road
And Mal said nah
buoyant stratus
Nozdormu probably knew Staghelm hid a nightmare branch in the tree and making THAT tree immortal would have been bad.
buoyant stratus
Nordrassil's roots are still mending, though, so that world tree is still safe.
spice goblet
what would happen if every world tree dies?
jagged tusk
Yeah, your elves look inbred af if i'm reading that right.
spring heath
Part of the story also includes their immortality possibly being restored but Malfurion turned it down, saying that his people needed to be closer to the world than they had been as immortals.
jagged tusk
Arsonite - the nightelves would have a weeping fit.
buoyant stratus
Vordrassil got destroyed by corruption, Shal'drassil is mostly destroyed by the remnants of nightmare, Teldrassil is spoiler.
spice goblet
Barleduq, that's why i was asking how they'd prevent it
jagged tusk
Where was Vordrassil? Nordrassil is in hyjal , right?
spice goblet
because, even though elves live a while, they don't have many kids
buoyant stratus
Vordrassil is in Northrend.
opaque basin
Mine Barleduq?
spice goblet
Would be cool if they made something like "Goredrassil"
spring heath
-.-
jagged tusk
It' s usually prevented culturally, afaik. Elves certainly live long enough to see the results if they do it. Of course, elf genetics might be Completely Different (tm)
spice goblet
;)
jagged tusk
Yes, Inay. It looks like you have siblings producing children.

Lady Vashj's mother was kind and beautiful. Not sure what happened to Vashj ....

I'll do a cleaning once I've done the other branch of the family

And elves that were deeply in love exchanged bracers in private, then had a public party and let the gossip train carry they were together. There was no divorce, they would just seperate if things didn't work.
Children were raised by villages, mostly the males handling duties since the society was Matriarch. Men in the kitchen, yo.
jagged tusk
No, there was a fairer division of labor there.
jagged tusk
Women priests, men warriors. Women in charge generally, I'd not argue with, but men did more than that, bless their hearts.
young frigate
men were druids. mostly women were warriors afaik (sentinels)
spice goblet
oh shit
jagged tusk
Yes. But men fought too, just not in the sentinals.
spring heath
fair
young frigate
is your keyboard okay arsonite
spice goblet
sorry, i must've had something on my keyboard
buoyant stratus
Men could be archers and do heavy lifting. They just couldn't be directly Sentinels or Priests.
spring heath
So you were having a keystroke?
jagged tusk
Taht's the other reason elves have so few kids. Men were druids, asleep in teh barrows. 😄
spring heath
Eyyyyy

... What was Cenarius around for then?
young frigate
yeah druidism only came into practice after the war of the ancients
spring heath
He showed up after
buoyant stratus
Cenarius taught malfurion and proclaimed him Shan'do of druidism to teahc others
(Sorry, I'm dyslexic and just woke up)
young frigate
cenarius taught malfurion in the years leading up to the war iirc then he passed on those teachings to other students
jagged tusk
Ok, what was the battle that Huln made his name in, then? Cuase I thought that was the war of the ancients, and Malfurion was there, and Cenarius, and clearly not as newb unknowns
young frigate
that was the same war, yes
malfurion was there but at the time he was pretty much The Only Druid
buoyant stratus
Here we go
"After Illidan recreated the Well of Eternity on Hyjal Cenarius aided Malfurion in imprisoning the rogue night elf beneath the earth.
Cenarius taught the night elves the ways of the forest, and druidism became widespread among the males. The elves became allied with many of Cenarius' faithful creatures, perhaps most notably the feral hippogryphs who then allowed themselves to be ridden by the night elf archers. Following the druids' entrance into the Emerald Dream Cenarius helped Tyrande and the Sentinels during the Long Vigil. He and his children, the Keepers of the Grove and their dryad sisters, helped to patrol the woodlands from the Moonglade."
young frigate
cenarius offered to teach illidan too but he didn't have the patience for it
buoyant stratus
So archers were on the ground during the war and learned to be airborn after because of the druidism spreading and hippogryphs.
opaque basin
Not all men
(were druids)
buoyant stratus
Cenarius was killed by demon-blood maddened orcs after the portal opened. Mannaroth's blood made the orcs go a little nuts.
young frigate
he died but He Got Better
spice goblet
and then he got worse from xavius being dickish'
buoyant stratus
All souls of the demi gods went to the Emerald Dream until they could return to Azeroth.
Rumor has it many female night elves that worshipped Avianna were turned into harpies in her form so they could join her in the sky. After Avianna was killed and her tree was destroyed, the harpies fell to madness from losing their mother.

6 years ago, I decided I was gonna RP a demon hunter. for a month straight, I researched elven lore to make sure I didn't mess anything up. I got so into it, I also RP 2 hidden dragons and 2 Highborne.

Sorry, took the pic across the room

woah. dat's a lot of warcraft books
spring heath
I thought about making my original main from Malygos a San'layn when I moved her to MG but between the lack of a lot of info on them and my friend going 'for the love of God please don't' I didn't.
buoyant stratus
I need to clean the shelf, about 6 more Warcraft books hiding in that mess
jagged tusk
What's a sanlayn again?
spice goblet
Also, can anyone tell me which expacs go in which order? Like from the first expac to MoP (Which was before WoD, i think)
buoyant stratus
I also have Stormrage somewhere around here
San'layn is a dead high elf that was rezzed by Arthas after he took the crown
spring heath
San'layn is essentially a vam- ^ I can't type fast enough with my broken keyboard.
jagged tusk
Vanilla, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor, Legion
buoyant stratus
Arthas took several boats to Northrend and most of his crew was murdered/killed/died
spice goblet
Tysm
ily
opaque basin
Vanilla -> Burning Crusade -> Wrath of the Lich King -> Cataclysm -> Mist of Pandaria -> Warlords of Draenor -> Legion -> Battle for Azeroth
jagged tusk
Yay, i got it right 😄
young frigate
yeah san'layn are basically bloof vampires
buoyant stratus
WoD confuses peopel because a rogue bronze dragon takes garrosh to an alternate timeline and stops most of the orcs from drinking Mannaroth's blood.
spice goblet
i only started in legion so the amount of expacs we have and which came before/ after which is/ was confusing to me a little
jagged tusk
Especially since they've retconned stuff
young frigate
the books I have are a little spread around my bookshelf uh
opaque basin
Yeah. WoD is an alternate universe set before Vanilla. (Even before the others Warcraft games)
young frigate
I've READ the war of the ancients trilogy but I don't own it (iirc I borrowed the books), I have chronicle volume 1 & 2, ultimate visual guide, curse of the worgen comic, death knight manga, world of warcraft atlas, art of world of warcraft, wolfheart, and vol'jin: shadows of the horde

My Death Knight is san'layn TRAINED, meaning he is NOT a san'layn, he just knows their secrets and blood magics.

I'm actually screenshotted and listed on a mary sue website because the people that run the website can't read an RP description correctly.

I got the illidan novel, but I haven't been able to read it. it's yawnsome
spring heath
I rather enjoyed it
buoyant stratus
Oh, I read it through, then skipped all the Maiev sections and read it through again 😛
spring heath
It's the only one I own, the rest I borrowed from the library
young frigate
I have very little interest in reading a wowpedia page on illidan, let alone an entire novel
opaque basin
I.. don't even see the problem with a DK San'layn? They existed, and the peons (Tenebrants ? Unsure of their english name) are no more over powered than the others DK
buoyant stratus
The elitists say that the San'layn are only the high elves from Arthas' ships. No more, no less.
spring heath
It's when they're found in a city, as if they're flaunting their presence. They should be very hidden because they'd be technically murdered by the guards if discovered
They were not 'pardoned' like the death knights.
opaque basin
Well yeah, that, yes. But so should it be for the folks flatting themselves as murderers, assassins and the such in the middle of the public place.
spring heath
Yeah
spice goblet
the only warcraft book i have is the wod one. i read through that in like 5-10 hours give or take
buoyant stratus
My guy prefers to stay in Acherus anyway. He's onyl spotted in the city when I have to list stuff in the AH and when a certain harvest witch won't come and visit him.
spice goblet
constant reading ofc.
asidee from work and stuff.
opaque basin
(Am I the only one being a little annoyed by the characters flatting themselves as spy/assassin/whatever secret in the tittle of their TRP?)
half jacinth
Depends how you do it
opaque basin
(How can we have a genuine interraction if I know from the beginning that you're a super secret spy?)
I'm of the school of thoughts that only things publicly known/direct appearance should be written in the TRP tho'
spice goblet
because if they're a super secret spy, you won't know about it. if you think they're a super secret spy, they're lying because no super secret spy will actually let the others know
spring heath
I list myself as an assassin cuz I hardly hide it. But IC Lira is also within the SI:7 so it's not like she's a criminal.
jagged tusk
flatting? Do you mean flaunting?
opaque basin
I think it may work better/ Sorry xD
buoyant stratus
My hunter has the title of "Secret Keeper" because like 10 people saw him getting tortured for information and he refused to say anything. He was rewarded with the title and a place by his leader's side. Best 2 months of RP I ever had.
half jacinth
I don't think there's anything wrong with saying youre an assassin
or a spy for that matter
depends who you work for
buoyant stratus
spy/assassin is usually placed somewhere so people OOC know and could want to IC hire them if word got back.
jagged tusk
"information broker"
spice goblet
afaik, no organization that employs secret agents/ spies permits their employees from telling others about their job
especially if they don't know the other person well
half jacinth
i mean it's a known fact that the si7 are spies/assassins
or maybe they are freelancers looking for work
spice goblet
yeah, because the Stormwind intelligence fucking sucks
jagged tusk
I would think, from naming convention, that the SI:7 is named analogously to MI:6, the british intelligence agency. I believe you can tel epople who you work for, but not what you do.
From what I've been told, in the US at least, there are people who answer their work phone just with their extension number. If you don't know who is answering the phone, they can't tell you.
buoyant stratus
"214." "What? I'm trying to contact John Smith?" "Sorry, wrong number. click"
half jacinth
Then again, can you imagine rping a spy or assassin and not being allowed to tell anyone
like your backstory being "I'm just a normal dude/dudette who likes flowers, nothing interesting about me"
opaque basin
Well, yes
spring heath
Lira's main hobby is archaology, her IC 'title' is Archivist
jagged tusk
No, you'd have a "normal" backstory. Like real spies have.
spring heath
Nothing to do with her 'job'
opaque basin
You're telling people who have a job to know, not the public place or the tavern.
spice goblet
And you'd only tell the other players ooc that you're a spy/ secret agent/ double agent/ what-have-you
opaque basin
But yeah, I admit the necessity to tell OOC to people that need to know IC
buoyant stratus
Indiana Jones telling all those paleontologist students archeology is boring and mostly books and studying.

She doesn't like modern movies much - they're overwhelming. I don't recall if she actually enjoyed the movie.
half jacinth
if youre part of an angency then sure, you probably shouldnt talk about it, unless you are mercenaries

Yeah and we forced the Pandas to pick a side iirc
half jacinth
didnt really force them
they had different ideologies and joined the two factions

i could be wrong too

And then there's Doubleagent

can he start legion without being aligned with either side?

Nah, he really can't leave the turtle
spring heath
Dedication though
buoyant stratus
The last quest literally is pick a side and he has to be careful not to finish one quest that will get him stuck on another side of the turtle away from the gathering trainer
spring heath
Every expac intro people will roll to group with him and hang out while he does his thing
He's got it down to a system.

he got his title right
he's def insane.

There's a pacifist gnome, too. she has 1 kill to her name on her armory report because an item killed something in a quest.

Apparently the next Hearthstone expansion is Kobolds
I told my dad and his reaction was "Like the 'You no take candle' Kobolds?"
I didn't realize that line was so iconic.
spice goblet
wait. those ugly thingies in pandaria are kobolds?
opaque basin
In Pandaria ? I don't remember kobolds in Pandaria
There's a lot of them in Elwynn tho'
spice goblet
the ones that are like "You no take carrot/ [other vegetable]"

Nah, that's a virmen

They are more like... some kind of monkey-rat?

warm hare
Ok. sorry?
young frigate
you no take candle!
kobolds & catacombs is actually VERY heavily D&D-themed
it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun
neon hinge
For only 50€!
young frigate
the singleplayer content will be free access for all
you don't even need one card to your name for it
it looks like it'll be really replayable too
neon hinge
Yeah that was actually very cool
lusty jungle
if its freee access why do they want me to buy 50 packs
lol nothing is free
amazon gave me "free" "golden" "common" pack of 5 card (all goldended, 4 commons one rare)
lusty jungle
but you can't complte it if you do not buy cards..
lusty jungle
"You have free chest!" (Chest is locked every key is $100)
young frigate
have you even read about dungeon runs or are you just going off on something you don't know about? because it sounds like the latter if you think you need to pay so much as a single penny for it
lusty jungle
I know I can't bear marrowgrwar from lich king thing
I know that the very first thing I see when I logged into HS was a thing to buy 50 packs of kobold cards, but yes I do not know really get that game. So you are right I am not sure how dungeon runs are different from their pve campaign that they sold before like naxxarams etc
And lich king citadel being same
I guess instead of fixed number of "bosses" you just have endless c hain of them until you die
Since that gow rogue like works
Kinda like PvE version of Arena
young frigate
you don't pay for dungeon runs and you don't use cards from your collection. you earn cards for your deck as you progress through a run. no payments, no packs, just you and some free solo content.
the replayability should apparently be very high as well.
lusty jungle
So you get random deck ever time you start it?
I guess that the main part I didn't know
young frigate
"Styled after roguelikes and dungeon crawlers, Dungeon Run starts by giving players a basic deck and eight randomly generated bosses. Beating each boss nets you more cards for your deck and a powerful treasure card too—one that's too wild for regular competitive play, but perfect for the Dungeon Run experience."
lusty jungle
Ok, I stand corrected
That does sound fun to be honest, and most definitely something I will try.
Thanks for the links mei
young frigate
you're welcome 👍

barren stone
Yup.. That's the actual size when it's inside the Kiwi
It grows so big she can't eat and can barely breathe during the last few days of pregnancy, because it smushes all her organs
neon hinge
Painful.
fringe frost
so are human bodies, too 😃
fresh osprey
not even close
most modern flightless birds evolved under very specific and extraordinary circumstances
its why they are almost entirely exclusive to islands
its even evolved independtly multiple times
thats why all flightless birds arent just a variation of a form
barren stone
The poor Kakapo is a flightless parrot, and a very strange one at that, they hardly breed at all, and sometimes decide to kill their chick for seemingly no reason
They'd be extinct now if it weren't for people trying to save them
And yes these two flightless birbs evolved on and are exclusive to New Zealand
lusty jungle
Wait what
barren stone
Hm?
lusty jungle
what is that picture of that skeleron
barren stone
A Kiwi bird with an egg inside it to show how large it gets during pregnancy
fresh osprey
islands are the main source of flightless birds
lusty jungle
Someone should teach it to hatch it first and the incubate it on the outside like everyone else does
fresh osprey
birds dont
barren stone
This bird also has whiskers and nostrils on the end of it's beak! As well as having hair-like feathers
lusty jungle
well not hatch, lay
fresh osprey
because if the shell is too thin, the bird will die
and if the egg is too small, the shell will be too hard for the bird to break out
fresh osprey
....
lusty jungle
I still feel bad y'all didn't change your flag into cool spiral and stuck with union jack
fresh osprey
i believe the fruit is actually named after the bird
even though the fruit isnt from new zealand
it is grown there though
which is how the name got attached
The More You Know!
barren stone
A spiral wasn't an option
lusty jungle
Evolution is weird in its organised chaos
lusty jungle
Why so big
fresh osprey
island weirdness
evolution on islands exagerates features
small birds lay larger eggs
so on an island
those eggs get even larger
it allows the baby a greater chance of survival
especially because up until humans arrived, they had no serious predators
barren stone
Are you from NZ too Peach?
barren stone
Ah, you know a lot about us!
fresh osprey
im going into biology
and i think flightless birds are cool
new zealand is also a very special place
lots of unique things biologically
it is one of the last large areas of land for people to arrive at so it is interesting to study
especially in relation to the effect of humans on the native animals and plants
barren stone
I love how we've got nothing to worry about in terms of dangerous animals. No snakes, no crocodiles, our cockroaches and mosquitoes can't even pass diseases onto us!
fresh osprey
and it is a great example of island gigantism in birds, which is found almost nowhere else
well, there are cockroaches now
but they dont have diseases since they didnt bring them over
lusty jungle
Which seems rather opposite from austrlia where seemingly everything evolved poison
fresh osprey
rats are the big problem
man-introduced predator
serious invasive species
also, related to new zealnd
lusty jungle
long cloud
fresh osprey
there was a rat replacement that evolved on its own
the peka peka
i just learned about it in Bio
its a mostly flightless bat
they crawl around and nest in burrows
barren stone
Kea are my favourite birb here, the worlds only alpine parrot
fresh osprey
most niches on new zealand are filled by what are traditionally smaller, less niche filling creatures
birds, small mammals, etc.
no big predators anymore
and when there were, they were birds
lusty jungle
Flightless bat..
Preposterous
If you go thru trouble of being a freaking winged mammale is it s bloody disrespectful to not fly.

If NZ is anything similar to LOTR it has to be cool af for traveling
Green mountains etc
barren stone
Yes we have a lot of mountains!
There are several shots from LoTR that were filmed in NZ
Including hobbiton, I've visited the set it's quite cute!
neon hinge
Oh, the River isn't fake either
@barren stone actually everything except few shots
Either real locations or wellington studios or other studios or places
It was basically filmed in NZ except some reshots in London maybe
barren stone
:3
Only thing I don't like is some of our very windey roads around mountains
With like, a cliff right next to them
They're a little worrying to weave around
But beautiful!
Definitely glad I'm here in the land of the birbs
No terrorist attacks, no shootings, no deadly wildlife
No smog!
There's a big problem with that in India at the moment, shut down all their schools in Diwali because being there a day is the equivalent of smoking 44 cigarettes a day it's so bad!
spice goblet
@opaque basin I wouldn't say they're psychopaths but yeah. They're assholes
spice goblet
you don't use "Psycho" lightly or extrait? idk what extrait means
young frigate
I think using a word heavily associated with mental illness to describe entitled men who see women as little more than sex dispensers is a pretty dangerous thing to do
spice goblet
are u referring to psycho or extrait
spice goblet
ah.
opaque basin
Ah, my bad for the french word. And, hm. Yeah, I admit Mei but I honestly don't know what word would be strong enough for people so detached from.. empathy? That they advise to use a drug that immobilise while keeping consciousness to castrate your roomate. But true. I do not think it is a mental illness, "just" men so entitled and utterly profoundly assholes who see nothing but themselves as humans.
I take back my precedent word.
spice goblet
@young frigate @opaque basin sorry about the sjw-ness in this, but psychopathy is not a mental illness. Psychopaths are born. Incels+Radfems are made.
also, incels+radfems have a lot more emotion than psychopaths are capable of feeling.
barren stone
Psychosis is a mental illness, I'm not sure if that's the same though
opaque basin
I don't see your point, lot of mental illness are born.
spice goblet
oh, nvm. I was wrong on that claim. However, the way you're using it doesn't seem right.
psychopaths aren't emotional like neurotypicals.
barren stone
As a sufferer from (not severe) Psychosis myself, I can confidently say it doesn't give me a lack of empathy, I'm the most empathy-filled person I know!
Just makes me hallucinate and believe I'm in an alternate reality sometimes when stressful situations arise.
opaque basin
I was wrong on using that word. <nod>
barren stone
Damn aussies ;)

's a little like in hellblade, yeah?
I heard they did a lot of research for that to make sure the portrayal was accurate as possible
spice goblet

Now I have no idea what you're talking about?
barren stone
I think we were diagnosing someone who castrated their roommate, but I'm not entirely sure
young frigate
@opaque basin hellblade: senua's sacrifice. the protagonist of the game has psychosis. it's probably one of the most nuanced portrayals of the disorder in media to date.
opaque basin
Ah, I know the sub-title! Yeah, the game seemed interesting. Thanks!
young frigate
it is quite scary in parts, yes
barren stone
(I might have gotten the name of the game wrong.. Some guy with two snake appendages)
young frigate
the developers consulted mental health experts to make sure that they portrayed senua's psychosis in as sensitive and accurate a manner as possible, and it really shows
spice goblet
did they consult actual psychologists or people who portray themselves as such?
young frigate
actual psychologists
spice goblet
ok, good

It has been in my wish list for some months now. One day, maybe.

5-20 min

Long!
My partner takes 30 min - 1 hr ones.. I have no idea how he does it
Mine are 1 - 2 minutes usually!
I wash myself, then what else is there to do!
So I hop out
spice goblet
jfc, 30min-1hr?? He's wasting a lot of water from that
barren stone
Yeah!
opaque basin
At that long, wouldn't it be more agreable to just take a bath?
barren stone
I hope I make up for it, haha!
I've asked him a few times before what makes him take so long, he isn't sure himself
I think time goes speedy in there for him or something, no idea
I'm a big recycler too, he didn't usually recycle before I came along
Now I make sure he does >:3

young frigate
ketchup... ham???
opaque basin
Like, not even the industrial pink ham. Serrano ham...
tranquil vector
Ketchup on ham isn't terribly unusual in America but I had to google what Serrano ham was because I've never heard of it.
neon hinge
It's an enhanced ham.
young frigate
enhance
opaque basin
Name differ, we call it "Jambon crue" here (raw ham? I don't know why, it's not raw) or "Jambon sec" (dry ham). Or by the name of the city (Parme or Serrano)
tranquil vector
why does it cost 16 dollars a slice?
opaque basin
I guess it's because all good food is overpriced in the usa?
young frigate
opaque basin
It's seriously not that expensive on the old continent :c
opaque basin
Even in a butcher's shop, it's not 16€ the slice.
It's more expensive than the one you will find for 4€/100g in supermarket, true, but not that much
(Except if you go in Swiss, which is another problem)
fresh osprey
man, ham must be a big deal in european countries. i swear, the only big thing about ham in the US is bacon and pork chops unless it is christmas

there's a 9KG ham for 1225€ on a ham sellers website

that's not how you make a sausage roll 😩

do they at least boil the sauage before cooking it into the bun?

http://prntscr.com/h9aymq that looks like bread
opaque basin
.. Croassants are sweet, what the hell are you talking about
fresh osprey
i mean
theyre sort of sweet
but not spongecake sweet
unless european spong cake is different
opaque basin
It's not spongecake either, it's brioche
fresh osprey
which is definitley possible
opaque basin
Not exactly. I had never seen pictures of a sponge cake before
fresh osprey
i dont know what brioche is
also, it seems wrong
if it is sweeter than a croissant
opaque basin
It's lightly sweet too, but the texture doesn't seem the same as the sponge cake if I believe the pictures
(*I've never tasted sponge cake, I may be wrong)
neon hinge
I think I understand you now Inay
spice goblet
Takes a bite of brioche
tastes like bred
neon hinge
Yeah, "milk bread"
neon hinge
It's sweeter than bread
opaque basin
❤
opaque basin
Also, bread have a hard exterior and soft interior. Brioche is more soft
young frigate
why would you put a sausage in brioche
neon hinge
It's just like a fluffy bread tbh XD

Breads have all kinds of different textures, wtf

I'm ok with contrasts
Tbh I was eating popcorn with BBQ sauce... It was actually delicious...
Since they contrast really well

I'll take a sausage that's not a hot-dog. It's more hamburger-ey and bbq-like

because of weird old medieval politics

most of the weird stuff like that happened between 1200 and like 1500
french revolution era

You do know that this kind of stuff happen on your continent too, right?

sort of
its different because our country is much younger
though it is similar
since it is from around the same time period
i can see why it was done though

this is the map before the french revolution
it makes sense that it was changed
the way it was changed, less so
