- Some of my good friends happen to be in the bandit trade for your information and are you saying that a band of so called 'low life scum' can integregate the kobold succesfully and your 'flourishing civilisation' can't. Not to mention the bandits have been able to integregate gnolls , xvarts and hob goblins into the human society before.

Well, the reason bandits can do it because unlike society, the bandits don't care what race is with them as long as they are successful and make a profit. Society on the other hand hold racist views of all races that aren't humanoid that regularly don't live in their cities. So of course it is easier to integrate those species into rogue bands which follow illegal trades, because you don't have to deal with the opinions of a whole nation.
And because those bandits integrate them into their parties, the kobolds and other races recieve bad names for doing illegal activity when the bandits do a major raid.
</font>[/QUOTE]One question, let us put this into perspective. Has anyone read Xenocide by Orson Scott Card. It puts into view, how to classify creatures. One, Utlanning, a person that lives in a different place, e.g. someone that lives in Australia is an Utlanning to me. A Framling is someone that lives on a different planet (can not give any good examples). A ramen is something that we recognise as a human, e.g. an alien, something, we can communicate with. A Varelse is something we can not communicate with like an animal (no comments you know what I mean) and a Djur is something that is a raving beast that slaughters your people in the night. I suggest we catergorize the kobolds therefore.

Utlanning, Framling, ramen, Varelse, Djur..

Some of them sounds Swedish to me. Can any of the Swedish members confirm that?

BTW: I agree with your classification [img]smile.gif[/img]

It seems our good friends Lord Brass, Mr Baggins and karapterism have dissapeared once more into the midsts of time.

Sorry but I do not know how to put in quotes...

Freinds all! Members of KAK! Let us storm this world, never resting until we find the murdering ditchpigs that are Kobolds*spits*! Let us raise their villages to the ground, bring the captives before MR. Scythe, and let us show him what they really are! I find it hard to belive that he has seen a kobold face to face in his life! Let us bring them to justice for murdering our freinds and family!
I have brought flamethrowers, enough for one each! Petrol bombs, three per person, and enough flamebreath potions to burn half a town!

Who is with me? All in favor say "aye! Kill All Kobolds!"
All against, defend your kobolds while you can...


of war: who is the leader of KAK?

... KAK doesn't stand for Kill All Kobolds it stands for Kin Against Kobolds.

Lord Dracon 06-22-2003 06:05 AM

Well I think that Lord Brass was the leader of KAK but i could be wrong.

Just don't kill the really evil kobolds in the bandit camps cause they are the smart ones who actually make a living and they have a chance cause they fight back with friends not just other kobolds but humans and hobgoblins as well.

Thank you sir, I have that (somewhat dubious) honour.

Gentlepeoples of the Sword Coast. Allow me to apologise for my unseemly absence. I have been in attendance at <font color="white">Carilanthus' School of Witchery and Arcane Mutterings</font>, an unpleasantness which has just concluded. Hoo-bloody-ray! *Ahem* I shall be with you on a more regular basis from now on. You have been warned.

It's good to see some true debate back on the boards, particularly with regards to this topic. It has been long overdue. The subject of K.I. still rages on, and the Senate is once again plunged into that most perilous, most desperate of ordered anarchies: the democractic process.

Esteemed member Link is most likely correct when he states that this bill should have been ratified as is, amended or simply thrown out. However, it would seem to all (particularly the general populous of the Sword Coast) that there is insufficient structure to the chambers. This is a shame, for without clear and precise rules, precious little will ever be achieved.

If I may digress slightly from the topic at hand, it seems to me that we need some guidlines on conduct and due process. To that end, I would request feedback from those members who have some educational understanding of the Constitutional Political Ethic. The reason behind this strange request is to construct and ratify a session on the democratic process which must govern us all.

With this "Constitution", if you will, we may undertake a census of those people who have a political understanding and unfettered desire to see the people's will done by our hand, and provide them with the mechanism as the means to see that will achieved. I have paraphrased the expression "Constitution" from a similarly named document I have seen, and wish to use this as a foundation for our own great political mechanism. However, I have only just started viewing this work, so my understanding at the moment is a trifle limited. That is why I have called for your assistance, esteemed members of the Baldur's Gate Senate.

My idea is this, I will post a new thread, asking any member here with the requisite knowledge if they wish to participate in the <font color="white">Great Political Experiment</font>, or <font color="white">G.P.E.</font>, as it would be called in the research and development stages. Post your reply, pledging your assistance and, if response is good, we will begin to thrash out the particulars, and construct a methodology with a deadline for completion.

The thread will be called...Some Like It Not, because in politics you can't please everybody! I look forward to hearing from you there.

Your member in good standing (I hope),

LB
