Dyslexia - Essential or Not?

[DeadInMySights]

Is it me or do all Orcs (Not their players!!) have serious problems speaking any sort of language? I'm seeing more Z than a German war poem and more A's than there are US tanks marauding helpless Iraqi Villages.

In game, when RP will be Real Time, will it be necessary to RP like you chewed your fingers off before firing up WAR, because this isn't as easy as it looks. Thinking tard isn't natural game (okay... not for most people) and i for one find it soul scarring to massacre the beautiful language William Shakespeare had nothing to do with.

On the other hand, it would make it realistic, even if by the time you decode what the bugger just said he's nutted you and raided your inventory with his chewed off fingers.
Having said that, Orcs have a considerable advantage don't they!

Discuss.

P.S: I'm not prejudiced towards dyslexic people. After all, Pobody's Nerfect!

[Deadpool]

s'ti ko, I t'nod ekat esneffo.

Funny Haha

[Wyrmtongue]

On the one hand, I dread the badly RP'ed Orcs I'll doubtless encounter, who go waaaaay over the top with the lingo..

on the other hand, I look forward to roleplaying what is basically a green cockney bareknuckle brawler.. I can even do the voice on vent!

[NoneSuch]

I Do admit people do take it over the top , but it's just a bit of fun (=

Zug what? This is so heretical that I almost rerolled to Witch Hunter.

[Elku]

I sorta like the way the orc talk "Wez da orc, wez da biggest 'n da strongst! of all em lot!"
I would look forward to a RPing orc talking like that because its hella tuff writing like that all the time :)

[NoneSuch]

I just have a horrible feeling people are going to over do it alot , Think i'll go mad at anyone who insists continously on speaking "orc" language all the time :p

[Gollo]

I'd have to agree... While I like the whole idea of how they talk, I'm also a strong believer that real humans in the real world... Are not Orcs. So, I don't really see why there'll have to be loads of RPing in non-RP servers.

I'm definitely going to call my character something Orcy, and I'm more than certain I'll throw in a WAAAAGH! every five minutes... I'll probably refer to dwarfs as stunties.. But, I doubt you'll ever catch me talking like "I iz da strongest of 'um all! Wen I beatz da stunties I beatz dem a good'un!".

I guess you could call me a lower-casual RPer.

[NoneSuch]

I'll be rpgin' alot ! I do tend to play on an RP server aswell , and Of course i'll mainly speak in character.

But i'll definalty leave the heavy - orc speak only for certain occasions , it'll just make my eyes bleed doing it all the time.

If you check out the official Game workshop text it's great , it's orcy but not so much it'll make your eyes drop out of your head. I hope most people choose that sort of typin' and realize they don't have to type every word orcy.

[Elku]

But i'll definalty leave the heavy - orc speak only for certain occasions , it'll just make my eyes bleed doing it all the time.

Or make your fingers bent in a strange way :P

Used to RP a dwarf a while ago he had a scotish/british accent which led to alot of ' and such. It was a pain to do since a normal sentance took 5 minutes orso in the start but you get faster at it after awhile, but like you said your eyes will start to bleed with over useage ;)

[NoneSuch]

I do kinda like orc chat, it's just I can imagine 20 players talking to each other at once over broadcast / zone chat.... It'll be hell to read in time (=

[Krulltak]

On the one hand, I dread the badly RP'ed Orcs I'll doubtless encounter, who go waaaaay over the top with the lingo..

on the other hand, I look forward to roleplaying what is basically a green cockney bareknuckle brawler.. I can even do the voice on vent!


QFT

Also, Orcy speech, while it can get annoying from time to time, is not that hard to understand. Stop complaining.

Probably because you're dyslexic and you got used to seeing yourself lrite wike a drater.

I don't want to see people speaking orcish all the goddamn time. Can't people just use their imagination and pretend everyone's speaking in an orc accent? Not that hard to do. Plus you'll save lives that way.

[DeadInMySights]

I was just interested to see how the rest of the English competant world would take to being drooled on by orc and RP'er alike.

Personally i see ho hard it is to write in Orcish, what with all the knowledge of how NOT to speak English it requires, and creative talent.

Krulltak manages it, how hard can it be?

[Krulltak]

Well you know it could be easier........if you were a real life cockney.

And if you don't like the Cockney-Orcish, be glad it's not Shadowclan's Dark Speech.

Hey Morty i think i'm gettin the hang o' this.

I also resent the comparison of Orcs to Cockneys. I know many a fine london chap and they are neither green nor as unintelligent as you.

i be krulltak an i be a cockney asshat

Yeah, that translator works!

[Krulltak]

No, stupid git, I mean the Orcs speak in a Cockney accent.

Who speaks like that? Have you even been to the east end? The only person I've ever heard speak like that is Van Dyke, and he's from Missouri, USA.

The Orcish accent is based on the East London accent. Not some prancing prat singing along with Mary-bloody-Poppins.

[Heno]

I don't want to see people speaking orcish all the goddamn time. Can't people just use their imagination and pretend everyone's speaking in an orc accent? Not that hard to do. Plus you'll save lives that way.

You could lay in your bed and imagine you're playing WAR without the accents, that way everyones happy!

I wonder if orcs ever had rhyming slang,,,

[DeadInMySights]

People like Heno and Krulltak are the reason i own a bed. Where else to dream of a retard free world?

Orcs do not have cockney accents. Where did you get this? Did you spend a lot of time eating spraypaint when you were a child?

How did we even get onto accents, i'm talknig about the RP'ers who type Orcish with their left testicle. What happened to English? I know cockneys who can have an accent and still manage to indent a paragraph.

WINNED.

Where did we get this? From the fact that, as practically everyone else will tell you, orcs speak in a cockeny accent with a little bit of broken words due to their tusks causing speech impeedment.

Hell even GW refers to orcs using a cockeny accent.

English? What the hell is the point of roleplaying an orc if you are not going to be speaking in their accent! It takes all the fun out of it, I say. And where did you get the assumption that greenskin roleplayers are illiterates who can not indent paragraphs? Ignorant much?

[MURRRR]

OI! wich un o' ya gitz iz sayin dat iz dislezic!! Wutz dat meen? ya callin me a stunti luva or sumfin!!!? speek up befor I start smaching gobs!

[DeadInMySights]

....how. can. you. imply. accent. in. a. text. based. game.

By the time you'ev typed your cockney rhyming orc sentence the other bloke has nutted you, your entire raid group, taken your children, wife and grandmother and gone home. Why are people misreading the question.

Spamcans! Argh!

[Krulltak]

Well I doubt most people will have time to be writing any fancy stuff while in the middle of a large battle. Save that for casual moments, or forum RP.

Oh, and are you reffering to WAR? Well......the NPCS will speak, and you will hear the accents. Warhammer 40: Dawn of War Orks are shown to speak in a cockney accent(although that game makes them sound like a bunch of retarded silly humies, not the monsters that they should sound like with menacing 2 mile long WAAAAAAAGHS!) There is a reason the orks in WH40K: DoW speak like cockneys, because obviously Games Workshop HAS before mentioned that that is the accent in which orc(k)s speak.

[DeadInMySights]

On that point we agree then, but what if you needed to tell your choppaz were to go when the stunties attack? Raid Leaders need communication, and fast. The other species can just have fast typing people.

What will the Orcs do? Would they just spell the accent correctly? Like:

"Get round da back lads! Fast!!"

[miber]

How did we even get onto accents, i'm talknig about the RP'ers who type Orcish with their left testicle. What happened to English? I know cockneys who can have an accent and still manage to indent a paragraph.Wots paragrafs godda du wif speakin' in-game? Ya probablee can't use paragrafs in game if ya wanted ter!

As fer da typin' bit - s'just da means fer gerrin across da idea o' da accent. Wen Gamz Workshop shows an ork chatterin' in text, they use da same sort o' stuf. Sur, they cud jus' type it owt normaley, so s'easia f'yaz 'umies ter reed, but it wouldn't be as truu ter ow da orkies talk. Orkies aren't 'umies, they may try ter speak da langwage, but it doesn't cumz across as cliir - same fing wif da text.

S'orcy an it'z Warhammury, an dats awl there iz ter it!

..or wot Krulltak said.

(I love http://hiddenway.tripod.com/waaagh/)

Why are people misreading the question.You get used to it. When I play with Shadowclan for a bit I can speak their language just as fast (or close to it) as I can English.

Or, someone needs to mod that English to Orc translator in-game, so it does it automatically.

[Smashin]

Im personally gonna talk orcish to everyone i meet wether they like it or not, if i choose a RP realm....:RPmode: cos dat iz da wey orc spek! beforr da smashin ye'w!

- Smashin!!

[DeadInMySights]

Miber, i hope you're going to pay to have this tumour removed. Because my brain just died trying to read your post. And that is my point - if it takes ages and gives everyone epilepsy then why type like you don't actually own hands?

The debate rages on.

[Arazael]

Orcs feel like their special. For all my reasons to hate the little elfs, at least they don't all type in their sissy accents. I don't see the dwarfs running around using their accents all the time. In fact I think orcs are the only ones who feel the mass need to mutate crisp and clear english in a game being played by english speaking people. Next time you run across a real orc playing WAR though maybe he'll be thankful..

[versuvius]

orcs speak like that becuase their thick and the lower jaw and tusks inhibet speaking skills

[Kazok]

I'm utterley useless at typing in an accent, at least beyond mangling a few select words, though quite adept at typing like a dyslexic (meaning no offence to those of you who really are dyslexic). Whilst I intend to roleplay an orc if there is an appropriate server to do so, I'll probably leave it up to the people that read my text to apply the accent. For me roleplaying doesn't equate to typing in an accent.

Hmmm, I seem to recall there was a mod for WoW that turned any text you wrote into troll speak. Orcify that, and it would be very handy for WAR.

[miber]

And that is my point - if it takes ages and gives everyone epilepsy then why type like you don't actually own hands?/shrug, it seems fairly readable to me. Sure, it's not as clear as it could be, but it's supposed to represent an Orc talking - and they shouldn't sound as clear as can be. Reikspiel, or whatever language the Orcs are attempting to speak, isn't their native tongue. Combine that with their large tusks and their primitive intelligence, and it would be near-impossible for them to speak it as well as a human.

And I doubt my in-game Orcish would be nearly as advanced as the paragraph you're referring to, as that was based on a translator.For all my reasons to hate the little elfs, at least they don't all type in their sissy accents. I don't see the dwarfs running around using their accents all the time.I didn't even know Elves had an accent. As for Dwarfs, plenty of Dwarf-players use an accent. Sure, there are many that don't, but there are many Greenskin players that don't, as well.

[Krulltak]

And speaking of which, Warhammer dwarf fans who speak in Kazilad are alot harder to understand than somone using orcy speech, as at least the orc's actually speak English.

[Arazael]

No question it would be hard to understand but I've seen one dwarf do that here.. and a thousand orcs give or take :P

As for elfs accent, I don't know what it would be but I'm sure I'm glad that they don't type in it!

[Krulltak]

The eldar (space elves) voices in Dawn of War sound perfect for elves..........

[Ripple]

Everyone who plans on RP an orc needs to read some samples from Games Workshop. They pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[DeadInMySights]

Krulltak made me laugh - "Space Elves"

Doesn't that just sodomise your view of Santa Claus?

Arazael is right though, there's accents all over the place, but only Orcs plunge their verbal thumbs into your eyes and try to scoop off your facial skin.

And i don't care about tusks - i had a retainer not long ago, sounded like a snake being beaten against a bag of rice, but i got used to it.

As for people's first languages - i know many many people from foreign countries who speak English better than a lot of actual English people.

Your arguement = blown away.

[Krulltak]

Who are you talking to again, because foreign peoples speaking English and Santa Claus really have nothing to do with what anyone said?

[DeadInMySights]

Yes Krulltak, Orcs are green *pats*

[miber]

Arazael is right though, there's accents all over the place, but only Orcs plunge their verbal thumbs into your eyes and try to scoop off your facial skin.
Check out some quotes on Games Workshop's site (http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer/). They don't show "accents all over the place" (at least not in text), it's basically just for (as far as WAR races are concerned, anyway) Greenskins.

And i don't care about tusks - i had a retainer not long ago, sounded like a snake being beaten against a bag of rice, but i got used to it.
I think it's safe to say that, tusks =/= retainers, and you =/= orcs.

As for people's first languages - i know many many people from foreign countries who speak English better than a lot of actual English people.
People who probably put a decent amount of effort into it, have interest in speaking it properly, and more intelligence than an orc.

[DeadInMySights]

I admit, that was an excellent comeback.

However that doesn't excuse the Orcs from their speech problems. Do the orcs have a native language? Orcish perhaps? Bet your bad self they don't speak that badly.

How come Orcs can speak anyway? Surely a race bent like Elton John on War wouldn't be interested in school, or even talking, for that matter. Look at cavemen in our world. More club and spear than you can shake a fingerless hand at and yet they manage to communicate and make war (and caveman love, oooohhhh yeah!)

[Krulltak]

Greenskins have an inherit knowledge of sentinent skills such as speech and architecture, so they can skip schooling and get to the fighting faster. Speech is used by the warlike orcs to bully and control slaves, bully and control goblins, tell the other orc's who is the biggest boss around, and make fun of the enemy, telling them you are the biggest boss around.

Yeah, they have a sort of native language, but because of their WAAAAGH! energies, they think they know the enemy's languages, and thus learn how to speak it immediatly...........such is the power of the WAAAGH!

[DeadInMySights]

Basically, all Orcs are powerplaying 11 year olds.

Nyer nyer we can speak your language! We can build lololol1lol and wweze fightin u now so look out!!

Dear Lord. It's worse than i ever imagined.

Hmmmmmmm, well, I don't know if you were reffering to orcs or the players, but you being you and being in the same guild as Immortalis, I'm guessing you meant the second choice, which indeed is not the case.

However, that is kind of the mentality of orcs. They live in a Darwinistic society where the biggest and the baddest bullies dominate, and they show off their power as much as they can to gain as much fear and respect as they can from their enemies, and they are about pride.They are powerful creatures, but also very naive, which is a strong weakness.

P.S. the smartest orc(k) ever mentioned in GW lore is Ghazkull Thraka, with the thinking capacity of a 15 year old human and the mindset of a diabolical villain.

P.P.S. If you were reffering to orcs themselves, well then it does not really count as power-playing when they are truely as big as they always let everyone know.

[rucdoc]

my response to all of this in game would be WAAAAGGHHH and then procede to kill you in nasty evil ways, then go home and chat about it with the other hearders.

[Krulltak]

Oh and another thing, orcs actually don't talk too much. They prefer to let their intimidatiing size and a growl to get their point across.
Goblins though, talk very vast, and very much.

[DeadInMySights]

Me being a decent person i meant orcs.

Me being in the same guild as Immortalis, i'm not adverse to admitting that certain Krull- players are powerplaying 11 year olds.

I thank Rudoc for his comment, and add that should he find me in game, ater my Magus disc eats him, as suggested by Mythic man in my Magus thread (Which Krulltak perversed), he can go home and tell his fellow herders about it.

So far we conclude that Orcs are cockney chimney sweeps with green skin and rhyming slang. They are powerplaying 11 year olds and they don't do much chatting.

Also established: goblins talk very much/very fast.

Can i ask you all, as orc players, what is the appeal of the orc? What is it that drives you to somethnig so uncreative? It's basically an insane mushroom with a taste for spikes and cappy building tools. What drives you to choose this fungus related anti-lingual character?

Why not just be Chaos?

[Krulltak]

I swear, everytime you say somthing, a brain cell dies in every single creature on the planet...........


First of al I don't powerplay, nor am I 11.

Secondly, Ruddoc is not speaking about no damn disk, he is speaking about how he will violently kill stunties with his squigs.

Also, Who speaks like that? Have you even been to the east end? The only person I've ever heard speak like that is Van Dyke, and he's from Missouri, USA.

The Orcish accent is based on the East London accent. Not some prancing prat singing along with Mary-bloody-Poppins. pretty much sums up the accent issue. Cockenys are not all a lot of ridiculous Van Dyke chimney sweeps. Get that ignorant and stupidly foolish belief out of your head already.

No, they are not "power-playing 11 year olds". They are a warlike race that follows Darwinism by nature and..........by the natural instinct in all creatures, really. Just look at humans.

I find your lack of intelligence...........disturbing.

[DeadInMySights]

Orcs act on instinct... just look at humans. So Orcs are like humans now?

Dude, which Peter Pan Book are you reading this from?

[Krulltak]

Okay, you know what, I think the troll has been fed enough today.

[Heno]

I remeber reading that orcs don't seem to know any siege tactics, yet when they encounter they need for them the instincitvely build the machines and fortifications required.

How? Who knows, orcs are far mroe complex than people realize.

[versuvius]

they use catapults, and flying gobbos. well i suppose when theirs a army of greenskins seige is irrelivent, just the number of orcs at your disposal

[Accipiter]

Basically, all Orcs are powerplaying 11 year olds.

Nyer nyer we can speak your language! We can build lololol1lol and wweze fightin u now so look out!!

Dear Lord. It's worse than i ever imagined.

You gotta love someone who, at the age of 15, insults "eleven-year-old powerplayers". I'm deeply impressed by this kind of maturity and self awareness.

Can we get a lock?

[versuvius]

you cannot lock a thread because it goes mildy off course and also tells the truth about the powermad midgets

[Krulltak]

I remeber reading that orcs don't seem to know any siege tactics, yet when they encounter they need for them the instincitvely build the machines and fortifications required.

Orcs are naturally spawned for war. They need no education, because all knowledge of siege and warfare and combat are all built into their instincts.

The reason for this is the WAAAAGH! energy of "Great Green" as the Empire calls it, that sourrounds all greenskins. With this power, if a greenskin thinks it can happen, it most likely will. If the red 'uns go fasta, then a red painted choppa or 40k orcky vehicle will actually go faster. Their seige equipment is complete bullocks and would fall to peices under normal circumstances, but because it looks perfectly fine to the greenskins, it works whenever they are near, giving off their WAAAAGH! energy.

[versuvius]

its the machine spirit gone green

[Immortalis]

Krulltak does have some points in this thread, you gotta admit. Little green bugger.

I guess it all boils down to whether you like seeing orcs type in orcish. If you like seeing orcs type in orcish since they better portray their characters that way, well and good. If you don't like it, you'll just have to get used to it since mythic won't do crap against players who type in orcish.

I'll have to get used to it. And dear god, you orc roleplayers better type orcish skillfully or I will roll order and smash you ingame. There's a difference between typing orcish well and butchering the text so much that no one can understand it.

Typing orcish is an art. If you can do it swiftly and still be understood, then by god you are an artist.

[versuvius]

Ok Barnettt wants this game to be more of a hobby, doesnt want you to buy any games after this. so to make it authentic as WAR intends for its hardcore players, we really should accept ork like speaking, like dwarfs just talk normally albeit with added damned elves and bloody greenskins. its basiclly the same just that we're easier to understand

[Aoann]

as some one who really has dyslexia: bite me.

I love role play as much as the other person, but type clearly and you shall be understood.

[versuvius]

well i will not argue on this particular point anymore as i have had my say

[Krulltak]

Typing orcish is an art. If you can do it swiftly and still be understood, then by god you are an artist.


I am now ze arteest!

[Gorge]

Seems to me the real beef with orcy talk is the people that go overboard when using it. Ever read the 40K comic Deff Skwadron? Every single line of dialogue is from an ork's POV, and I've never heard anyone complain about not understanding it.

[MURRRR]

is it just me or has this quickly turned into a flat out orc bashing? there are no valid points here.

insane spiky mushrooms are uncreative eh? so in which other MMO's have you witnessed such creatures? whilst orks are quite an often used race in massively multiplayer games, not many of the games depict the orks as quite so crude, spiky and mushroomy, and for one thing GW's portrayal of the ork is infact the original as before WH orks and goblins were essentially thought of as the same thing.

Though since you seem hellbent on converting the unbeleivers I think i might make a few greenskin alts just to spite you :wink:

[DeadInMySights]

I find it amusing how people who accuse me of being a Troll, (even though you are Orcs so i win anyway) then proceed to troll against me?

And none of you even answered my initial question and just cry whenever i try to challenge what you believe to be orcish. Why cry? Why cry?

And Krulltak just cries anyway whenever Immortalis challenges him, just because i'm in the same guild as him, he thinks i'm against him. Of course now i see how much of a spamcan he now is, i think Morty had more than just the race bias...

Before this turns into a flame war (which chaos will win, cause we have purple fire) why don't we all just calm down, get off our high horses or other orcish mount of choice and come down to the table to talk again, instead of chest beating like PP'ing 11 year olds.

To the asshat on the other page who said that being 15 made a difference - i've been on WHO since i was about 9, RP'ing with all the legends. Just because i'm mow under a different alias doesn't mean other people can judge me solely by my age. As Sovereign once said; when you've been here long enough, people love/hate you too much to care what you type anyway.

Any other points? Nah man, just one last question, before you all proceed to cry for this post to be taken apart and analysed by our team of online psychiatrist and child doctors -

Is Orcish style speaking really that impotrant to all you self convicted Orc Nuts?

Answer.

[versuvius]

yes...or you cannot effecivly RP as an orc...all dwarf RPers speak like dwarfs so why shouldnt orcs be able to emphasise (or over empahsise as it may be) their own branch of linguistic skills

[DeadInMySights]

How do they play like Dwarves/Dwarfs? How do they represent that in language?

[Gollo]

Some people just shouldn't RP. Why, you might ask? Because of their lack of knowledge in the English language it makes them sound retarded... However, I think that stands for any race. If you're stupid, you just can't RP. It's pretty simple, really.

[Heno]

Is Orcish style speaking really that impotrant to all you self convicted Orc Nuts?

Answer.


Yes. Thread over. Thanks for coming. :)

I mean if you haven't worked that out after the thread going on this long you're just being either dileberately or actually stupid. Of course it's a big thing, hence the several pages of arguing about it, if no one really cared about it this thread would have ended on page one with some generic "Eh who cares?" posts

People RP Orcs to use daft voices and act aggressive and stupid. If you want to be aggresive and not speak daft, play Chaos or Dark Elves. When Skaven comes out we going to have this argument all over again due to thier style of speech? It's part of the attraction to RP'ing them (Like trolls in WoW, you rarely got one RPi'ing that didn't have a bit of an accent) If you can't stand Orcs way of speaking, show it in character because believe it or not, most other races go crazy talking to orcs too :D

[DeadInMySights]

Fair play on the races going crazy thing. I personally like playing with Orcs (Not as Orcs) simply because my Chaos Characters can chest beat along with them... like in Dawn of War (Both the first games) when the Chaos Lords and the Orc Warbosses are constantly arguing and making threats. That's great stuff, really, i love that stuff.

A point i think you missed is the fact that not everyone is buying WAR to Role-Play, some people will buy it simply to kick seven shades out of people they've never met. In this case whetehr you play Orc or Empire, speech isn't going to be your main beef butty on the banquet.

That's what "RP" Servers are for , people who don't play to roleplay can screw off to normal servers and while they pvp can spam away in leet speach.

While we spam away in Orcish tongue while we kick crap outa the stunties and empire (=

[versuvius]

just becuase someone doesnt want to go around PvPing the hell outa everything doesnt mean we're h4axx0r n33bs who couldnt speak in english if he tried

Firstly, orcs way of speaking was not invented all of the sudden. That is the way the have always been shown as speaking in WH. We didn't come up with it, we just adopted it.

Secondly, since when is the English language this holy and sacred thing? If someone wishes to butcher their speech, that does not devalue the language. It just makes them sound like a (insert insult of choice here).

Lastly, you gotta love it when a thread spins hopelessly out of control, like a drunk toddler.

[Heno]

Funny that, I was thinking of calling my Goblin Shaman Crater. After all, it's only a matter of time for Shamans in Warhammer really!

I was assuming an Orc role for the point of myu comment, since all a goblin would do is scream and run away/explode/get eaten by his squig. Again.

hehehe...accurate description

If you're going to RP as an Orc, makes sense that you would speak like one. I for one, always speak 100% Dwarvish/Scottish accent when RPing a Dwarf in WoW.
Just curious, will WAR have Roleplaying Servers?

[Falesh]

In game, as in life, Dailysex is essential!

no no...lysdexia!

Silly. Just Silly.

Yes, WAR will have RP servers.

So, did Warlord Krulltak win? Or has he fallen and now the Orc tribes will now fall into internecine warfare? What was a greenskin doing with a Chaos Chosen?
It matters not, it is time to crush the vermin with the Righteous Fury of SIGMAR!

Seriously tho, I hope I end up on the same RP server as a lot of you, it is going to make for some great rivalry.

Orcs make for great opponents but for bad eating.

I don't know if any of this was a compliment or not, but you should indeed not eat a highly muscled fungus who is covered in dung and blood 24/7 as well as having varoius hidden powers and the ability to give a very scary roar.

[versuvius]

yer a walking lump of quorn...

Never underestimate the roar.

On an unrelated topic, I wonder if you'd hallucinate if you ate an orc. After all, they're supposed to be overgrown space shrooms.

Ya gotta problem with da boyz ya best ta shut ya trap before da boss shuts itz for ya :rolleyes:

[versuvius]

say taht again, louder and into this tube please *raises musket* say AAAAAAAAAAGH!

[Arachnaas]

Talking like an orc has the same effect as talking like a pirate, humor.
the accent takes a normally psychopathic sentence and makes it funny and over the top.
I think that all of the bad spelling and grammar errors are part of the reason that playing an orc is as amusing as it is. so yes dyslexia and bad spelling are key to the orc experience.

An ifs yous runtys say otherwise I'll bash your filthy gubbin eads in.:cool:
