Yeah... I went with making my own tribes (Aghurlal's been in two) because it meant I had complete freedom to come up with flavour, daily living, and tribe history without running into the issue of potentially disagreeing with someone else about essentially made-up details.
There's a certain amount to be said for "just do it anyway! be bold! ignore the haters!", but I know from experience that it takes a certain type of personality to find doing that fun. And this is meant to be fun, so...
You lose the networking possibilities, though. I have a Malaguld as well and though I haven't started RPing on him yet, but when I do, I think asking for other Malaguld to connect with is one of the first things I'm gonna do. That's not a possibility on Aghurlal.
That said, I don't know how many other Sagahl there are around anyway (from what I've seen of the RP community, there are lots of members of a few tribes - less so of others), so... swings and roundabouts xD
That'd be interesting, actually. Survey of what au ra tribes people roleplay, with options being the canon ones and another tickbox for "fan-made". Difficult to find a decent sample on, though, considering all methods of gathering one introduce a pretty heavy bias...
