I am tired and very stressed - I will probably not be able to push out any replies for some time.

Making a CS!
Damn, this looks cool. What can we expect the CS to look like?

There currently seems to be a mod-imposed restriction on discourse if it reaches 'inflammatory' or 'trollish' proportions. This may make sense at first, but we have to remember that the decision on whether such discourse is inflammatory or not is usually arbitrary and made by nobody else but the mods. This one-sidedness makes this rule very easy to abuse, as the mods can label actual discourse 'trollish' and silence it with nary a dissenting word. The fact that what is actually insulting and inflammatory is technically subjective and varies from person to person does not help. There is a reason why hate speech, though as horrible as it is, is not illegal in some countries. We recognize that even they have a right to free speech, and that if we hand over the labeling of speech as hate to the government and give this labeling actual consequence, it becomes prone to abuse. The US could make flying the Nazi flag illegal because it displays hateful ideologies, but then again, so does the Bible or Koran or the Communist Manifesto or the writings of Martin Luther King - from a certain point of view.

Also, I don't get why the mods hate drama so much. Let it happen. Trying to treat it as a non-issue and sweeping it under the rug will only end it temporarily. Longer, drawn-out discourse is needed to truly solve issues of this magnitude.

Why not just have a community-wide vote?
But at least we should add a twist to it. Maybe this world is in the end times and all the stereotypical hur durr im an archer elves and dwarves are slowly dying out, and the appearance of one of these is rare, but gives a glimpse of what the old world was like. Maybe humans and orcs would be more numerous.
I'm interested in fantasy and worldbuilding, but I don't think vanilla races should be used. Vanilla is boring. We keep on seeing the same old 'dwarves' and 'elves' in literally every single fantasy roleplay ever. Personally, I think the usage of these races is a sign of a bad/lazy worldbuilder. Why don't we have some goddamn lizard-spider-people who live in underground technocratic societies and commit genocide against other races on a regular basis? THAT's what you call a true fantasy.
