The Tuluk vs. Allanak Thread (get your rivalry on!).

Started by Molten Heart, March 11, 2014, 01:35:34 PM

It's that time again.  Which city is the best and why?

I used to be a Tuluki fanboy but after years I've been converted over to a firm Southlands supporter.  What do you think?

This thread is just a friendly thread to have fun.

I'm a fan of Steinal. You probably never heard of it - it's underground.


The different cities exist for different playstyles so shut uuuuuuuuuup.

I must admit I have not seen a massive street-battle to the death over an overturned cart of apples in my time in Allanak, and part of me would like to but the other part is like "Oh no don't take my precious text~".

The only reason people favor Allanak over Tuluk is because the latter has an outward hatred for magick, and those characters do not last long there.  The rest is window dressing.  I think people would enjoy both city states if they realized that Tuluk isn't all smiles and flowers and Allanak is, by documentation, not Spartacus:  Bare Sweaty Chests.  I think both have a lot of good cultural quirks, and both are filled with good players.

As to my own personal favorite ...  The desert.  Because, fuck cities, I dig the grit and harsh environment.

I favor Allanak simply because it has always felt more gritty, more dangerous, and more outwardly hardcore than Tuluk.

I understand Tuluk is more subtly "hardcore", I'm just saying I prefer the lack of subtly, most of the time.

(My pictures above are just for chuckles.)

Every now and then I get the urge and play in Tuluk myself. I can and have enjoyed both for what they are.

Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Under Tuluk was pretty great while it lasted.

Yeah, this has a lot to do with my previously mentioned outward "gritty" and "hardcore" comments. The Rinth is just so unique in its setting and it bleeds over so well into "Allanak Proper" that it just adds so much "gritty" flavor in general to that whole area.

Allanak: Murder, Corruption, Betrayal
Tuluk: Bards, Hunters, Delusions


Poll results speak for themselves.  Tuluk isn't Armageddon, Tuluk is the result of prior not knowing how to create conflict.

It isn't fair to compare Tuluk to Allanak though.

Tuluk hasn't existed in its current incarnation for nearly as long as Allanak has. Tuluk in a lot of ways is still "building its self", both literally and "society" wise. I remember playing in Tuluk back when it was still basically a tavern and some scrub around said tavern with Allanaki soldiers patrolling the streets.

Staff is working on morphing a fair bit of the culture in that area right now as I understand it.

Allanak has had a much longer time to establish, implement, and solidify its current atmosphere.

I hate to use the word "better", because it makes buttdicktonbutthurt Tuluki patriots shiver with fury, but Allanak is "more favored" (not better) by the playerbase, likely due to this very fact.

Give Tuluk a few years to settle after some of the documentation revamps and updates and I'm sure these polls will be much more balanced.
