I'm not wrong at all the instance I was referring to was how the Drow all worked together as a team until Belados who leveled on the surface and has a very strong build decided he was going to take over the event, then from there on it pretty much centered around him and what he was doing from the underdark side. Plus he killed everyone who disagreed - I know this is conventional drow RP but its discouraging to be ignored for your low level as well as unable to act. I am sorry you felt left out in that event but I am not sure what to think of that finger pointing. Belados has accepted the orders of the commanding wizard until he saw his actual power in the fight; the wizard in question has been defeated by the surface party. So why should a male drow obey the orders of another male drow, who appears to be relatively weak compared to himself? To put it bluntly: He wouldn't. Instead he would try to claim the power for himself and that's exactely what Belados did. He observed, estimated and then decided to challenge the imperious drow. And that was the ONLY drow he attacked.So why are you accusing me now for killing everyone who disagreed? As to the event that took place the next day: This wasn't a DM event. It was a player event that has been supported by DM haunted. He was so kind to help broham1 give his oldest toon a worthy ending in the underdark. Broham1 and I have written the entire script for it together and that's why this event has occured partially in House Noqu'afin. Sorry for being offtopic here but I felt like I had to straighten this out. Thanks, -magicshisha

magichshisha is pretty much on the money here.
however there is a big "if".
If Raenir's school ever receives official recognition and is given it's own seat on the conclave EVERY other non-head of school would bow before him regardless of their level or physical might. And when i mean bow i mean grovel.
In Sshamath Wizards are generally treated the same as priestesses of lolth in lolthian cities so in order for another drow to cross one openly (as magichshisha did) the drow would have to have a *very* good reason *and* be outside the city's walls where rank and alliances mean a lot less.
Which seems to fit with belados' actions.
hehehe

hey every good drow player must have some kind of power to strive for, even if they never make it.

Should be free for all pvp with rp consequences, this would spice up and make the drama you are looking for...
Not like you lose anything in pvp on this server anyway...
How as an evil assassin you can kill someone if you gotta wait for a pvp consent.. also as a thief should you wait for a robbing consent to rob someone ??
Free for all with weighted consequences would make it way more realist.
When I talk about consequences it could be:
- Bounties on your head - If caught you lose x% of your xp / gold whatever for being in jail. - Banned from a city
I'm sure we could find more.

Go ahead and add some flavor to the PW. That is one reason why I started the PvP fan club thread. I'm hoping that enough people will sign up so that we can pull off robberies and brutal attacks freely yet not disturb the handful of players that dislike all forms of PvP.

Plus he killed everyone who disagreed - I know this is conventional drow RP but its discouraging to be ignored for your low level as well as unable to act. May I suggest you play a human, or perhaps an elf, on the surface with a good alignment? To expect to be treated nicely (or even with a modicum or respect for that matter) by a drow while RPing (I assure you that OOC you will be respected 100%) is asking for too much. Im my opinion, when you create a drow you are automatically subjecting yourself to several things: 1) Power based, bullying RP. 2) Auto consent for PvP 3) A hostile world where no one is really an ally in its normal sense. If you dont want those three things I dont think I'd play a drow. It will be fun when you go up lvls, and you will eventually. Well Broham2 totally misunderstood what I was talking about The event was purely my example, I've no problem whatsoever playing a drow in a service position til I reach a higher level and no problem with anything he stated- I enjoy my Drow RP to the fullest. What I WAS saying was in any event where you attempt to be evil or even just disagreeable people higher level than you simply ignore/kill you. (This I ALSO have no problem with) I was simply stating that plots that pertain to evil aligned characters are all ruled by the highest level builds because if you're a low level baddie you'll be instantly dispatched. I was just stating.

Sorry for being offtopic here but I felt like I had to straighten this out. Thanks, -magicshisha And No I did not feel left out or downplayed/ignored I actually loved everything about that event and it is in my Drow's character to be the servant/egotistical zealot. I was only using the event as an example.
