Orc RP

[Malebrignon]

((Hoping Enheilras will flesh out this topic. I remember a brilliant list of orc words and phrases he posted awhile back that I'd really love to have a record of. I use as much as I can remember when playing my orc alts, but I've forgotten a ton of it. Other contributors are welcome, of course!

<--- does NOT have a photographic memory ))

I lost my text copy. I'll have to rewrite it from my paper notes. It will be a little while. Expect it around Friday-ish.

At one time I belonged to the DAoC Shadowclan. I had a blast with them as the only truly hardcore RP guild I've ever been in.

They have a WoW guild on one of the other servers, but orcs just aren't my thing here, so I never renewed my ties with them.


They have a nice language reference here: http://shadowclan.org/worldofwarcraft/reference.php

That you might find useful.

[EnheilRas]

I've read that. It's distasteful.

Sounds a LOT like Tolkienite Black Speech

Hell, some of the words are direct references to WarHammer "Orkish"

Those things are plants!

[Longcat]

Warhammer orkz are not plants. They are more like fungi.

[EnheilRas]

Fungi/Spore are plants in my book.

Even though Fungae and Plantae are different kingdoms.

[Fhenrir]

They also forgot Aka'magosh.

[Longcat]

Plants do not expel spores. Fungi do. Orkz expel spores and grow in the ground. Then come out once fully grown and ready to smash some 'eads.

Don't worry about Longcat, he's just a fun-gi .. get it? get it? fun "GUY"! Erm... someone please laugh so this can end.

I like some of the concepts around Warhammer orcs, cockney accents somehow fit, and Grisch sometimes drops to cockney when I remember.

If I recall though, they start off as spores, I think then they become squigs, then snotlings, and then orcs? Love squigs, they're the cutest things ever.

[Karkarov]

It depends on which version of warhammer you are playing as I recall. The only use I ever had for orcs was a meat shield between me and whatever army I was fighting.

Khorne rulz, orc suck.

[EnheilRas]

They're not Orc

They're Ork.

It's different. They are lesser beings.

Anyway, I found my Lexicon. Do you want it here or in a new thread?

[Garbhan]

WE ARE DA ORKS!

WE ARE DA ORK!

WE IS DA ORKS!

WE ARE DAZ ORCZ

[Longcat]

Lesser beings? Please keep Warcraft and Warhammer lore seperate.

'ERE WE GO!
'ERE WE GO!
'ERE WE GO!

[Garbhan]

Gobbos for Breakfast!
Gobbos for Tea!
Gobbos when ya want 'em!
Gobbos for me!

'ERE WE GO!
'ERE WE GO!
'ERE WE GO!

It's exactly how I would see them. In fact, I roleplayed the High Fist Clan in NationStates, with Manus leading a crusade to conquer all Orcish nations under his rule. He decimated a good half dozen WarHammer Orkish nations, knowing he would just have to kill them off as they'd never follow the Orcish Doctrine.
