Soh Lanah Kah....We're active!

[Manhattan]

Bit of a tangent...

Is it Akei'ta Var, Akei Ta Var, or Akeita Var?

[Hot_Dancer]

Shalooonsh has been absolutely excellent with the Soh and actively works to help offer roleplay outlets for what can be one of the more isolated tribes in the game. It is difficult at times and there are very strong and valid views on the (lacking) worth of heavily isolated clans in Armageddon.

The Soh are a tribe that has managed to reasonably adjust with the time in a way to provide more to the game as a whole, as well as offer a little less solo roleplay requirements to the tribe's players. Even the inner structure and culture has been altered here and there to make things more playable, but still Soh. Things used to be more strict and less defined..

In particular, Soh play is at its height when the Tablelands are active, as well as clans at their borders such as the Tan Muark or Kurac in Luirs. Granted, this is one of those, "When the planets align" kinda things, you may not see it often..and it's definitely a reason why we try to post when things are running well.

Considerable effort has gone in to try and improve the tribe even with the end of Armageddon announced and the tribe will continue to be developed until close if at all possible. Ideas are always welcome.

Reading the last few posts, I think you mis-understood.

I'm not saying Shal sucks at all.  I'm just saying that it's sorta like Hot Dancer said.  You gotta get lucky and hope there is a solar eclipse, all the moons align and a purple flying kank is born without kank's disease.  To find rp a lot of times.  At least while I was playing a Soh..

With the Soh being so isolated and such, it's harder for them to find rp that it is for say a Sun Runner.  That's all I'm saying.  If you don't like to sit on your ass or run between about three key spots in the tablelands hoping to find someone.  The Soh is difficult at least for me.  I as a player like to be involved in the center of some hot plots and activities.  I don't do well when I have ran around for 45 minutes without a soul.

Plus, for as gigantic and big as the game is, the tablelands, or at least where the Soh operate, isn't all that big.  So after a week or two of running through the same landscape, killing the same critter and hauling the same skins,claws etc etc back to my camp.  I start to wonder what the greater goal is for me.  To just aimlessly run around and hunt, with some spotty (but incredibly rp'd) moments of rp?

I think it really goes by the person, some people are really good at playing the lone wanderer.  Some people are really good at the family role who depends on others.  And some just need constant change and evolution in their character and his surroundings.  I'm unfortunately the later.  I don't want to sit in the bar night after night.  I don't want to run in a circle everytime I log on to the same locals to find out if my friends are around.  I strive for adventure, for intrigue and for surprises and even death.  Yes, I love the way some of my characters have died over the past and feel that sometimes the journey is simply background to the death.

Maybe I'm twisted, and wrong.  But I need to be in the mix.  When I played the soh, I didn't feel any ability to mold or shape my landscape.  Maybe if there were more Soh and the ability to become a leader in the tribe were more accessable, and make more decisions then what were presented to me.

Akei'ta Var and Akei Ta Var both work fine.

This somewhat reminds me all posts about "Tuluk is empty and I hate to run between taverns to find that other single player in the whole city." In other words - it all depends on the role. Some roles prevent you from riding (running) from one side of the world to another one, some other roles don't - and the choice is yours.

I'd like to add that Tablelands are generally active lately. Starting a character there is definitely worth it. As was mentioned above, ATV, Sun Runners or Red Fangs are active as well. Dune Stalkers or Sand Jakhals might be very interesting to play these days too - because they are cool, heh. D-elves are not -only- Sohs, seriously. Pick the tribe which fits you best - and enjoy your time playing a runner.

If you never played d-elf before and have questions, feel free to contact one of Helpers (like me, hehe) or ask Hot_Dancer, who knows everything about them.

Way too many, but luckily they keep dying off.

I meant... PC wise? I have no real idea, but there -are- some around most of times. Unless you play very off peak like I do.

[Cerelum]

With all this talk of more Soh, I'm debating on trying another one out... But I just know that as soon as I really get hooked into a role.  I will get lucky and my special app will be accepted, then I won't want my d-elf anymore..

I've seen some well played Soh.

I've seen some poorly played Soh.

Kind of a mixed bag.

Everytime there is a Soh around, I start looking for crows.

Heheh.

I'll tell you one day, after this game goes down, if I remember or you remember to remind me.

[Medena]

Great!  Could one or both of you tell me too please?  I'm dying to know.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

Anybody who has played around a Soh knows what I am talking about, though, kah?

FOR THE RECORD: ^{If I ever played a Delf, I'd play a Soh. They seem to rock hard. But I can't avoid this joke. i'm sorry. I'm a bad person.}

Kah.

I played two, one for like the first three months of the Tribe and another about six months later. From an outside perspective things seem to have changed a bit over the last year or two. Of course I -was- playing a Soh when Sujaal still roamed so this was a while ago. They rock!

Still have no clue about the crows.
