yes, i could care either way, it was just curiosity of mine, when the mechanical bans came into to effect. My orc goes to the underdark for his book needs any how.

we can get back on subject.

Is still offended by elf and human privileges :), but i will check my feels at the door

Orc Snagas

Skulk, Support 1
When Orc Snagas enters the battlefield search your library for another card named "Orc Snagas" and place it into your hand.

To all my Snagas out there, I think we should protest this band. It is very offensive and is counter to orc culture.



I will be starting an internet petition on this matter. I will be posting this to #orclivesmatter on our twitter account. I do hope you will support us and end this injustice

Fine.

If you lot are goin' to continue this, then I'll throw a whole ten gold in, then tell the lot of you to shut the hell up.

The moment someone says "X" lives matter, that very statement implies that OTHER lives matter less.

Unless the "x" is all, there is a problem, whether you understand/acknowledge it or not.

Wandering_Woodsman, your right 'all lives matter'- well said. Shame that gem of wisdom wasnt figured out hundreds of years sooner by all our ancestors.

Pro tip- Each of these forum threads have a subject header. This subject header gives a sort of summary of whats to be discussed in the thread. If you do not like the topic of a particular subject header you can simply not read the thread itself. For future referance, it would probably easier simply not to read the thread itself than it would be to try to get everyone to shut up.

Well if anything else, this thread has galvanised time to make sure I don't tolerate orcs in places where they wouldn't be tolerated.

The other day, I passed a full blood orc, bearskins and face tattoo and all, saying "Pleased to meet you," to a human PC in front of the minstrel in BG. I thought about making a fuss and calling for guards but then OOC rationalised it was probably a new player and I didn't want to make their early game experience unpleasant.

On reflection, that was wrong. Being an orc is all about unpleasant. Nearly every civilised person wants you dead, your mostly-chaotic evil littermates are constantly watching for weakness they can exploit and you're probably not going to die in your own bed surrounded by your family unless they're hitting you with stuff.

I really like the way aaron22 and others are pushing orc RP in the way it should go: they're not nice, and they embrace it.

We need to leave our 21st century values at the door when we play a game in this setting.

Be respectful to the players but act in character to their PCs.
