Yes, what is the nature of joining these clans. I saw it on the 2010 goals.

Overall I hope it adds to the role-playing dimension, adding character not a lot of extra pain to the GMs. I hope it is awesome though.

Aside: what is a red name, Terra?

>Red name means Simutronics employee on the boards, cause their names are read

I'm not sure if that was a typo or just really clever.

>Yes, there names are read and they are red. I have noticed I read their names a lot more then some of the others. However I also read the posters that have Avatars more then people without an avatar.

And yet you don't have an avatar yourself. Should we read your post?

<<However I also read the posters that have Avatars more then people without an avatar.

Maybe you should just turn off avatars entirely and read everyone?

I would really like it if we had racial and Clan titles. As well as food and drink specific to each Clan culture/background. (Elves don't really seem to have much in the way of specific foods outside of Elven bread, chocolate and a couple kinds of wine) Clan specific shops and restricted areas would be cool too.

Someone brought up verbs, one verb I would like to see is a race specific movement verb.

<person> strides gracefully, yet purposefully into the area a look of detached reservation on his or her face.

Possibly an observe or study verb could be added as well.

<person> observes/studies (person) (item) (creature)(area) with cool patience,or aloofness taking in the details

Or something to that effect.

I would generally consider blushing to be mainly something women do, I mean a few men practice it, but it isn't considered attractive, appealing or typical of them generally.

I feel giggling is something done by children, Halfings and Gnomes, when I see anyone else doing it it annoys me, same thing with dimples.

>I would generally consider blushing to be mainly something women do, I mean a few men practice it, but it isn't considered attractive, appealing or typical of them generally.

I'm confused by this statement. You realize that blushing is, both in the real world and ICly, an involuntary action, right?

"Ridicule may lawfully be employed where reason has no hope of success."

But you're talking about makeup still. Blushing is not the application of makeup. It's blood rushing to the face causing the face to become red. It's normally caused by embarrassment and it's not a voluntary response. Generally men don't get as embarrassed about things as women which is why women are more prone to blushing than men.

So I'm still really confused by your comments. Do you think that when someone blushes in game they rush to their makeup kits and paint on some rouge?

>Generally men don't get as embarrassed about things as women which is why women are more prone to blushing than men.

There's a lot of inconclusive and conflicting research about this, most often on the side of their being no difference. It's possible we just notice blushing more in women because of a social expectations, other performed signs of embarassment, and paler skin.

Or something.

I realize it is an involutary response, come to think of it I do not personally find it attractive in women either as it often reflects an emotional state of discomfort, embarrassment, nervousness, insecurity, self-consciousness etc.


Back to the topic of Clans it didn't specifically say Elven Clans , does this mean there will be Clans for Humans, Togs and S'kra as well?

Will it be possible to claim ancestry or lineage with two or more clans in some way even if you can officially only join one ? Once joined will people be able to quit one for another or is a one time choice as Houses are for Elotheans I believe and as Sects currently are for Moon Mages? Will they have specific symbols or icons associated ?

I think specfic greetings open only to members of each individual Clan would be interesting. Can they then have competitive sporting events against each other?
