  1. If you want to play as your character with your background that's fine, not a problem but we have set up tribal rules for our branch of the family and yours don't (from what you have said) align with ours completely. Hence the differences and such. Aye i'm not having a problem with it. just looking for clarity Seeing as I don't know what values don't allign according to you (not that i'll change them, seeing as K'athir remains thinking it is correct for reasons explained. But i'll know what you mean atleast)
  2. Oh different branches as cousins are defiantly how we are playing it. so yeah shared culture and history. I guess where people are slipping up is that tribe can mean both the overall tribe of who knows how many Hipparion and one particular family group. Now if you mean differences between members of the same family group, sure but they will be to a lesser extent than those between other family groups of Hipparion and again smaller still when talking about miqo'te as a whole. We are a family of Miqo'te who are descended from the root Hipparion Tribe who are Sunseekers. Mr Bears Nunh is just from another family group, still the Hipparion Tribe, just a different branch with from the sounds of it different values. I can see that being very accurate a description yes, the general tribe is unified on traditions but there might be smaller differences between the families within the tribe, or heated ones if we get the problems discussed earlier with a bad nunh or troublesome Tia (though the Tia might be dealt with faster unless he really has a lot of influence) I'm not sure what you mean when you speak on Athir having different values though. Granted I don't know the values of your family section of the tribe. What would they have problems with? That he's venturing out for awhile to gain experiences for the tribe and make it grow? I can see that happen yes from a certain point of view
  3. Erm another branch is the same thing as a different section of the tribe, still teh K tribe but in a different family grouping of it. If you start saying you represent all ways of the tribe people are not going to be very happy. I also never suggested that the particular branch you come from is dishonourable just that their might be branches that are. Of course if to different branches come together they might not share all the same values as each other. It doesn't mean that they are not the same tribe but it would cause strife. For instance if you came along and introduced yourself as a Nunh in your current state as an adventurer this particular portion of the tribe would likely laugh in your face asking where you keep your females (IC of course, we welcome the rp and new friends on the server ooc) I'm not saying i'm the representative, you just made it sound that because I wasn't a part of your particular section of the tribe there would be tribal differences with me, or might be. Which sounded a little weird, seeing as I would consider the tribe unified on traditions and ways. Unless the tribe has a troublemaking element of sorts in the form of bad leadership or a bad Nunh/Tia. Which is possible ofcourse, but i'm not aware of any yet. I'm not saying he introduces himself a Nunh though, not outside the Tribe anyway. I do consider him to have achieved the title of Nunh sometime in the past in the Hipparion Tribe (though not necesarily your section of it, but you are part of the same tribe) If such a said Nunh came back from travels and brought back valuable lessons and experiences, and might have even strengthened himself from those experiences, I'd think he'd have a good chance of still being recognized of being a Nunh if he brought sufficient females back also. Not only did he make the tribe grow in that case, he made sure to learn valuable experiences and lessons that the tribe might use. In my eyes that represents strength and capability, don't you think?
  4. I can see that happen yes, a Nunh being dishonorable to an extent but already having breeded dedicated family (beside the family that the tribe in general should be in his eyes) might bring certain conflicts with other parts of the tribe. This might have to be settled with a ritual challenge of sorts, but it's a unknown how messy this can get. It depends on the offending Nunh Exactly. And given that S'janna's tribe (well, the portion of the Zu tribe she lived with) was quite small to begin with... well, it only makes having a bad nunh (who is also the only nunh) that much worse. As of when Janna left/ran away, the group was sort of in an uneasy peace, where no one really wanted to bring about the large-scale disruption attempting to cast down the nunh might have wrought. Of course, she doesn't know what (if anything) has happened since she left- but the last act that drove her to leave in the first place was the nunh killing a young tia who'd challenged him in a 'heat of the moment' type situation. The kid was so far outclassed it was a joke, but the nunh didn't hold back at all either. Huh, we should RP sometime. I can imagine that being a interesting point of RP Absolutely! It's one of the cornerstones of Janna's RP and who she is today. Of course, I can also see there being some good arguing between them because of Janna essentially walking away from her tribe- with a child no less. Probably. He's a gentle giant though, but hard to explain really the details of his personality and ways. I'll simply look forward to RPing more tribe related things ^^ so far it has proven fun and enjoyable. It's also nice explaining things from his point of view regarding that (quite good at it, actually. He makes it sound very sensible even to tribeless born)
  5. I snipped from your post because (even though this isn't strictly pertinent to the Hipparion tribe thing going on here) this is actually a key point explored in my character's backstory In short, I imagine it would be very, very messy, especially if the nunh is influential or otherwise has power beyond his normal duties. It's potentially even worse if he still enjoys the support of those he sired ("Yeah, he's an awful bastard, but he's also my father!").

The absolute worst that could happen in my characters eyes is that it brings such a schism that it would lead to the banishment of that particular Nunh, but that Nunh still would have loyal females that might go with him. Mind you this is very unlikely, in my eyes the tribes consider others in their tribe family. To leave that...how selfish, reckless, and unworthy must you be? It proves that you can't keep a family. That you just slapped away the hands that tried to help you.
  7. Another branch? tribal differences? I am RPing him to be part of the same tribe, mind you. Not a different tribe. Nor a dishonorable part of the tribe (I can't imagine there being dishonorable and honorable branches in the same tribe. It would tear the tribe apart and they would rather make their own tribe in that case. One of the rare cases where that might actually work and the new tribe wouldn't die off) As for that part, I RP him to indeed having accepted that to a part. His wandering however is to gain experiences and lessons that will be valuable upon his return to the tribe, as well as seeking out tribeless born (he'd have problems with one that left a tribe in their lifetime. It implies several things, and none of them good.) to tell them of the tribe if he deems them decent enough and if he thinks they might try to fit in. He already has a following of sorts, actually. Gathered through RP, nice conversations and adventures. In that i consider him to still be worthy as a Nunh, and he remains to act like one. (the looking out part for those he considers under his wing anyway.) Upon his return he'll take atleast one of them (confirmed) with him and there are more potentials in sight. If he has enough he might just be able to re-assume the title of a Nunh if there are enough females amongst them, without having to challenge a Nunh. (a bit unorthodox but he has already proven himself before) If by then (or at all. if his females were particularly loyal somehow) he has lost his status of Nunh there that is.
  8. Ah, that's unfortunate then. It is too much part of his character for me to retcon it just to join your particular section of the Hipparion tribe. I do wish you luck though and good fun, it's good that you people made something to represent the Hipparion tribe (or a part of it anyway) so that kind of RP can be had plenty. I'll not join it then, but i'll still consider him a part of the tribe in general. THAT SAID, if any of you wish to RP with me I implore you to contact me, i'm always up for more RP. Athir Nunh being my display name ingame. Seeing as we would be part of the same tribe we could make a deal of sorts to say you know my character in some way (up to you, if at all, how much you know the character.)
  9. Aye, aye, fair enough. I'm usually more patient but the issue was important to me Thank you for the reply anyway. and yeah, officially a Nunh has 10 up to 50 under his wing, but i'm guessing to have 50 you need to be a very influential Nunh or very desirable, how one would manage all those 50 females would be stressing to say the least. I think most Nunh would be below the 50 number which would accomodate a few more Nunh in this particular tribe if people so desire to play one. Just be sure to RP all the duties of a Nunh, aka caring and keeping an eye out for those under your wing amongst others. That brought a interesting idea to mind too. This very likely won't be the case for my character but what if a Nunh goes bad? Like you have a Nunh that gets a bit too self important and disrupts the cohesiveness of the family, the tribe, by being disrespectfull of those under his care? I might imagine a Kia might challenge him, but then again what if there is no Kia capable enough to do so? Would the leadership step in or would another Nunh challenge him for his lack of honor and respect? (this is assuming the Hipparion tribe is honorable, but i'm guessing we are?) What would be the result of that Nunh winning, would he just get the ones under the care of that other Nunh or would they get to decide on that. It seems to me the Miqo'te are equal enough to have females decide themselves, though in this particular case they might go with the Nunh that obviously stood up for them as that represents some good qualities. This is assuming the Nunh defeated is also cast down from his position by having been beaten by another Nunh ofcourse. ((P.S. Am I the only one that gets half tempted to just type in "Alpha male" everytime when speaking of Nunh? They are almost exactly like them in behaviour and what they do, except they aren't actual leaders or leader of the tribe))
  10. Hm, I guess this thread isn't so active after all
  11. Right, so i've been eyeing this thread since it very much has to do with how I RP my own character, there might be a few problems though and i'm not sure if you guys are okay with it which is why i'll post this Firstly, because I looked into the RP aspect of miqo'te -after- I made him, my name is not entirely correct though I have him introduce himself slightly differently ingame. His display name is Athir, but he introduces himself as K'athir. Not a big deal, right? More importantly though, I took the "last name" (it's actually a title, since males don't use last names as far as I know) of Nunh, I didn't know what that signified when I made the character but I -have- made it a part of the character and it's very strongly related to his identity/behaviour. That is to say, he is a very traditional miqo'te whom is a bit of a father protective type. aka he is a gentle and even humorous giant but stern when it comes to certain things, mostly breaking traditions of the tribe he is against. Which can be anything from (if it relates to him) not respecting those under the wing of a Nunh, or worse, endangering them, to things like leaving the tribe which he very much see's as abandoning your family and friends. It represents a lack of care, selfishness, recklessness in his eyes. Even worse if it's a male that wants to become a Nunh by doing so, because that one is weak and did not respect the tradition of challenging another Nunh and thus be actually deserving of being one. To clarify, I don't RP him being that to assume any kind of leadership role (Nunh generally don't become leaders anyway. It's just something you are or are not) It's just fitting of him, and part of him. It brings interesting RP in my opinion in that he's so much on the traditions of the tribe. He already convinced one tribeless (born tribeless that is, else he might have a problem with them) of the worth of having such a family by simply talking what it means to be in one, what you gain. How good life is knowing that you always have those close to you and those you can trust and rely on, as even the strongest need a helping hand at one point or another. TL;DR is there any problem with me RPing him a Nunh? Because it's rather important to his character. If not-- add me ingame. Character name is "Athir Nunh" looking forward to RPing with you lot
  12. Hah, wow. You made me smile a good one there, those expressions are perfect. I needed this after all that frustration
  13. That would be likely. Stress causes a lot of launch issues, and issues in general
  14. Please don't take this as hostile, because it isn't meant to be but I am admittedly a bit frustrated and stressed out at the moment. I know that they're in two different locations. I'm not stupid. I've known that from the moment I got into Beta. None of what you said changes anything of what I've said, nor does it address anything I said. Except it -should- change what you said. The problems we face has nothing to do with preferential treatment, it's likely because of either because of the increased stress that NA+EU give or because the company handling the servers of NA+EU have not been as good as they could have been. (taking a wild guess) In which case I gladly blame the french canadians. Always the french canadians
  15. First, just because something isn't the worst, doesn't make it bad. This is bad. Secondly, though I wasn't there for WoW's initial launch and I don't play SimCity, D3's launch was not all that bad. There was a day of excessive lag that not everyone experienced, and the biggest problem (the log-in issue) was solved within 24 hours. Rift's launch was fairly smooth as well, save for queues on the most populated servers. Aion's launch was ridiculous with 36+ hour queues, but at least you could play the game when you got in. TERA's launch was relatively smooth as well; there were some server queues and such but not much else. Squee's been working on these same bugs for weeks. Weeks. That's the problem here. They should have this worked out by now, but they don't. It doesn't help that the JP servers appear to be having 0 issues. It gives the appearance that they don't care about the NA/EU players and only care about the JP players (which apparently was an issue in FFXI and the 1.0 version of the game). People seem to misunderstand that JP and EU/NA are on two different sites. It could have just as easily gone the other way and JP had the problems arise, but i'll take a guess and say NA+EU is a bit more stress heavy, and if i'm not mistaken it is handled by a different company
  16. You actually got that game? Shame on you. Supporting vile EA like that
  17. I just want to play this great MMO ;_: it's been so long since I fell in love with one like this
  18. I seem to vaguely remember a weekend where there was some big issue, not the auction house thing If I remember correctly one of the biggest issues with the GW2 launch was not being able to get in the same overflow as your group members. A friend and I spent a few hours trying to get in the same overflow only for us to become frustrated and give up trying to play together for awhile. Oh yeah, I remember those issues with the overflow. Dungeons were also unplayable for awhile because of issues with instancing and that you never landed in the same one, or very very rarely. Aye. Here. I'm switching from "World is full /gtfo out of here" to "Unable to retrieve NA/EU character list"
  19. I learned how to fix that, actually! It's a bug with one of the Windows updates. You need to uninstall update KB2803821. (Note that this fix I found is for Windows 7.) A very helpfull post, kudos to you pall.
  20. GW2's launch was actually the smoothest I've ever seen. The auction house was bugged out and we couldn't fully use it for like a week, but I think that was the worst part about it. I don't recall ever being kicked out for a bunch of "emergency maintenances" and I don't remember anybody complaining that dungeons weren't working. Just that they were too hard. I seem to vaguely remember a weekend where there was some big issue, not the auction house thing
  21. Be sure to add Athir Nunh when we do get to log in, if you are on Balmung that is. (and yes I know the name is not entirely lore correct, I only checked on it after I made the character which is a mistake obviously) Don't worry. I suck at making names so I use this name generator for my characters. They are all lore inspired and follow the naming practices. Bit late for me there unless I can namechange
  22. I can finally see my character again but the world is full, ugh.

  24. The character limit is currently deliberately low. It's to test that duty finder shit, they are progressively opening it up again
