As many have stated already, there is conflict in the game right now. The conflict is between personalities that differ from each other. This difference causes the dislike and hate to siege that player or players out of the game.

Once the factions come out, conflict will become more diverse and dislike and hate will be based on which faction you favor etc...

For the time being, this game is nothing but a war of personalities.

I didn't read the whole thread (and for that I apologize) but I can immediatly think of 2 other game worlds where orcs are good (or at least neutral and civilized).

The first being World of Warcraft.  The orcs in that game are civilized, and have a strong code of honour (their society reminds me of Klingons from Star Trek).  They have a strong sense of loyalty to their allies.  Just because they are at war with the humans, does not make them evil (the only truly evil playable races are the Gnomes and the Undead *IN THAT ORDER*, Gnomes are evil because they committed genocide on their own city. EDIT:  And the Blood Elves, for enslaving the Naru to empower their priestly/paladin spells.)

(EDIT:  I want to point out that the orcs in Warcraft I and II were evil, as at that point in the timeline their only purpose was to kill humans at the behest of their demonic creators.  Warcraft III and WoW, they had (mostly) broken free of that enslavement and went on to found a civilization by making allies with the Tauren, who themselves are True Neutral and remind me of Native American earth-centric preservers of nature)

The second being the D&D campaign setting of Eberron.  Orcs and Half-Orcs make up the majority of the druids in that setting, being preservers of natural balance and opposers of the Aberrant forces that lurk just outside of this reality that are trying to establish a foothold.  In 3.5, it was a requirement for druids to be 'any neutral', which means the majority of orcs fall into one of Neutral Good, Chaotic Neutral, True Neutral, Lawful Neutral, or Neutral Evil).  Most druidic orc tribes are in the True Neutral/Chaotic Neutral range on average.

Personally, I would love to see more roleplay. Roleplay helps people to avoid taking attacks so personally. If I am attacked, I will try to take it like I am being attacked during a game of Risk. I don't get angry and think the other person is a jerk, I simply think that they are playing the game.

Just don't take it personally, and don't attack while sending real-life insults and jabs. Just have fun beating up each others armies. :)

a example of my type of roleplaying.

RE: your picture

I'll raise the ante to one hundred spears, granted I should be using them for my kobolds but I suppose I can risk them.

I understand that you like collecting spears, will 50 spears change your mind?

I noticed your picture consists of a Dwarf combating with a Orc. While I encourage such pictures of Orcs dominating over the runts of the genetic sidewalk, I noticed that that particular dwarf has somehow managed to slay a few Orcs and is "judging by the picture" about to add another Orc to his pile.

We both have to admit that this battle was Photoshopped, in reality, the Orc had a pile of Dwarves and was about to generously contribute another one, when some Dwarf sympathizer came along and simply switched out the races.  While I would believe that one of the losing party would attempt to sway other races with this unbelievable propaganda, it completely disgusts me.


I hope that you become aware that I. among other Orcs have noticed this picture, and have made many muttering about such. I myself called a council yesterday for the appropriate action of this picture, but unfortunately everyone else thought we were meeting at Thadah's fort, and not Paalo's Hovel.  Anyways,  would like you to change your picture.
