  1. Wow, lots of pms.
  2.  
  3. anyway, any OOC resentment i have is pretty mild - the fact that I felt comfortable digging at you in the public rp instead of just pettily mocking you behind your back on the IRC is proof for that (like i do with everything farland posts).
  4.  
  5. I can't speak for other players but it's not IC presumption that I take issue with - your vaarklans very successfully come off as aloof and superior, but /you/ don't need to come off as entitled to pull that off. Dictating other people's reactions, even NPC reactions in a situation that you don't control, is very presumptive. Assuming that any other characters /need/ to give your 8-foot-tall gray aliens undue attention in a galaxy full of void sorcerers, vampires, bunny-eared aliens, genetic modification, full body cloning, death metal bands with actual succubus... I could go on... is bad form. Austinus' relationship to his father makes him special - it gives him history and importance in the Eridanus lore. Sedemay is nothing, and implying that anyone owes her any consideration and attention is simply wrong.
  6.  
  7. As for Children of the Slaine - you have a /responsibility/ to roleplay that religion. All of the human followers, abroad or otherwise, that believed in the faith before the vaarklans coopted it, didn't change their faith to the vaarklan variant. Faith in E is /powerful/ and you ignore a major component of the game (and the potential to add religious allies by converting them) by simply letting it /be/.
  8.  
  9. Now you bring up the Tlabakans. There is a signficant difference, in my opinion, between my Tlabakans and most other alien races you see in IN - namely that I didn't keep a monopoly on them. Clan Vrohnak was /one/ clan of a large alien race that largely existed outside of Gemini, but scattered mercenary Tlabakans weren't uncommon throughout G, and I actively encouraged others to pick them up (they rarely were, but regardless...). A major difference here is one of humbleness - I never claimed to own an entire race of people, I merely introduced a new people to the galaxy. And as for how a Tlabakan was reacted to...
  10.  
  11. I waited a long time in G before I really got to center stage of the politics. I was rather deferential to other larger houses in the area. In that time span I had a chance to cultivate the Tlabakans - they were curt and aggressive. If they did speak in public it was usually a criticism of pointless long discussions. When they appeared I would actually give long descriptions of them, if just to highlight the many ways they came off as alien and generally unpleasant. From these interactions people generally could tell what to expect. And even despite this, most people were still very polite and mostly tolerant of my Tlabakans, when they noticed them at all.
