How do city elves travel?

[Kebron]

In the help file it says that elves in general are prone to traveling, it also says that no elf would use a mount. Desert elves can run long distances for travel so they don't need mounts do city elves do the same thing or do they just not travel?

[jstorrie]

City elves get the sandcloth on and walk, presumably sticking to roads when possible.

[Yam]

Slowly.

A much debated topic.

[Marauder Moe]

I would suggest that city elves are not prone to traveling.

[Maso]

Yeaaah. Traveling on foot never works out for me. You need pretty much all your energy when the time comes to flee and run.

Not really.  They either go on foot or they don't travel at all.

[Kebron]

thats kinda what I was thinking, there are some strips of game with high concentrations of critters but spread out over largish areas (6-10 rooms) so if you wandered through one of those areas on foot and had to flee you could be seriously screwed in very short order. Which is pretty much why I asked.
So basically city elves try not to travel outside the city much, if they have to it could be assumed they'd travel in groups and stick to roads and a tent is your friend then.
Thanks.

I've seen a few heated debates over the years about the 'unfairness' of it and blah blah blah.

Elf A hires elf B to kill human D who lives across the entire known.

Elf B kills the loved mate of human C, allows himself be caught by the militia and under interrogation of coin and bad poetry claims he saw human D kill the mate of Human C.

Human C goes across the entire known and kills human D.

In other words ... Elf B just traveled across the entire known and killed human D, then he came back and got paid by elf A.

So -that's- how you play an elf.

On a not so related note, if City elves got desert run from sub-guilds like outdoors-man and grebber, it would probably make city elves as popular as humans in the game.

That would no longer be a city elf then... there's a reason why you can't pick Liur's or Red Storm as a city elf in Hall of Kings...

[Malken]

No sane city elf would ever travel outside of the city walls on their own. If they did, it would be in a caravan with his own tribe, in very large and well defended groups of elves.

Unfortunately, the number of players we have doesn't allow for such caravans to be formed, not in the numbers that would be realistic for an elf, anyway.

That's why I propose that any city elf who decides to leave the city and sticks to the road should be turned into "A group of well-organized elves" and have their stats reflect such group of people for as long as they stay on a road.

and city elves really can't pick Red Storm as a starting area in the Hall of Kings? Weird..

[titansfan]

Well....

Any c-elf that leaves the gates is a filthy 'gicker!!!!!

Rawr....rabbble....rabble *pitchforks and torches*

This is a joke right?  I'm not trying to be a dick, but honestly it's a joke right?  There are a few situations where you might get thrown out of a city/etc. and it doesn't feel fair to give them some coded advantage that may not be IC.

[Yam]

Yes it was a joke.

[Iiyola]

Why leave the safe walls of the city? Why leave your tribe?

[Clan Des Tine]

I'd think that the only elves traveling alone are those orphans without a tribe that are seeking one. Even then, they'd probably con someone into helping or escorting, no?

[Synthesis]

If you aren't playing a city-elf in the Akai or the Jaxa Pah, you might as well store and reroll as a human.  Tribeless/virtual tribe city-elf is just about the least rewarding/interesting role in the game, unless you're only interested in maximum pickpocket griefing ability.

[Kankfly]

Umm... I don't think city elves are meant to go outside the walls, which is why they're coded that way. They're pretty much contented to stay inside and scheme/thieve/build connections/whatever ninja thing they do/etc.

[jstorrie]

City elves sometimes have very valid reasons to go outside the walls.

Grabbing some family can mitigate this.

What if finding a tribe to belonged to was, to an elf, like a dwarf focus, a quest for the holy grail, if you will. Would that warrant a city elf to leave?
