Vidarok

My major will probably be political science. I am not in college yet. I have been visiting some down in Texas for the past week. Specifically, I was checking out University of Dallas, Baylor University, and Texas Christian University. I've been accepted into all three (in addition to others) and I am trying to pick which one would be best. PS: The reason I ask whether the forums have been reset is because I can't locate my fanfiction. PPS: I've signed up for the beta also!

Allright. Sounds like fair reasoning to me.

If I may, I have some suggestions for name changes for the ranks on the roster. Of course, any final decision or change would be up to Grulg and Uglutz. War Chieftains: I would just call this rank "The Chieftains." It may seem like a ridiculously minor change to make, but I think a more generic title like "The Chieftains" would fit better. "War Chieftains" makes it sound like Grulg and Ugluk are the chieftains only during a war, and thus it undermines their supreme authority. Chieftain: I would change this rank's name to "Clan Elders." It denotes more experience and would fit into the hierarchy better. Lord: This rank sounds far too much like something a human would come up with. I would call this rank "Elite Guards." It more accurately describes what their job entails and points to the enormous skills required to be a member of the rank. Captains: Fine. Grunts: Fine. Guard: Change this to "Foreign Allies." It better conveys how Taurens and Trolls are seperate from Orcish culture. Gruntees: I just don't like this name. It just doesn't sound very Orcish, and it just seems like it is weak and awkward. I would change it to "Peons." It may not have a better meaning, but at least it sounds better. Peons: I would change this rank's name to "Snaga." It is a derogatory Orcish word that would show how fresh recruits are the lowest people on the Clan's hierarchy. Of course, the change would be purely for roleplay purposes and would not mean that recruits should be shown any less respect. No offense to any recruits! >:] Afterall, I'm only a gruntee myself. Anyway, those are my suggestions. Take them or leave them, it is really a minor issue. Nonetheless, I've been gone for a while and I do need to pad my post number! >;] PS: If anyone knows Orcish language equivalents for any of these, those would be great also!

OOC: We are at #10 now! >:L

OOC: From what I gather, speaking Orcish is a way to show other guilds just how seriously we take ourselves. As a private thing, I don't think it is absolutely neccessary. Essentially, what Grulg (Balandar) said is the correct way to handle the situation.

OOC: Since my character is a Raider by profession, the wolf is going to be especially important for me to get. It is unfortunate that you can't fight from on top of your mount though. >:/ Nonetheless, I will get it as soon as it becomes availible to me. As for the guild hall, if we could amass enough resources quickly enough, it would be a potent symbol of our power!

Me have ben gon for long tyme. Me am veri sorrie. Bot, me wud lyke to reaffyrm my allieghance to da Skullcrusher Clan! Me will not be leeving or anyting nubhosh lyke dat. Skah! Me am redy to klomp sum oomies! Me cannot wayt ta let dem pushdug feel my axe! OOC: Sorry, I have been on vacation surveying colleges for the past week. Additionally, I've been inundated with work. I wish I could check in more often! Mainly, don't worry! I haven't left or anything like that, and I sure as hell don't plan to. PS: It looks like the Clan has grown alot since I last checked in! We are gonna to be totally ready to rock when WOW goes live! PPS: Were the forums reset?

OOC: It was odd. Fortunately, I posted on the Mad Onion forums and got the answer I needed! All I needed to do was deinstall the video drivers, install the updated chipset drivers for my motherboard, and then reinstall the video drivers. That fixed the problem.

OOC: I am just taking a stab in the dark here, but I recently purchased an Nvidia GeForce FX5700 128MB video card. Now, it has been working fine, but I just got a message that popped up while I was booting up Homeworld 2. It said that I was running the FX5700 in PCI Mode, despite the fact that it was an AGP card. I'm not entirely sure how to deal with the situation, and I was wondering if wiser minds than I could provide me with the benefit of their insight. Essentially, I would like to know how to enable AGP mode. System Information Processor: 2.4 GHZ Memory: Two 256MB Sticks of Corsair DDR3200 RAM Motherboard: VIA Technologies P4X4 ALH

OOC: Every new piece of news just makes the game seem better and better!

Ug Giratz! It am gud tu see such anthusiazm un a yung Uruk. May lat du gud Vudu! Welkum tu da Clan Skullcrusher! HOOOWAAAH!!! >;] PS (OOC): Just a word of advice...you may wanna take "Vuduka" out of your name. It seems a little akward.

Intermission: Lengthening Days The days grew short, and soon winter was upon the Alterac mountains. Two weeks had passed since Pruk's news at the fireside, and neither hide nor hair had been heard from the world without since. Life had progressed normally, save only that the days had grown colder and the nights even more so than they had already been. Few now marked the words of Pruk, and no new rumors had reached the camp since that night at the fire pit. The Orcs that had been heartened by the tales of glory and renewal now sat silently, brooding on futures that seemed like to never come. Vidarok, for his part, did not forget Pruk’s tale, but he could feel the bitter taint of cynicism growing in his mind as time passed. Yet, still, when all was quiet and naught but the cries of the crickets could be heard in the hills, he would often dream of proud warriors and great battles. It was foolishness he told himself, yet he was compelled to hearken to visions of riders that never came! Yet, when at the last it seemed he had clung only to a fool's hope, his vigilance and prayer was repaid in full.

OOC: That's "under 18" clause is unfortunate. Ah well, if any of you guys get in you can give us the lowdown.

OOC: At last! I cannot freakin' wait!
