short to tall!!!!

Post by Drogla »

STILTS!!! all of us shorties, mainly my when i speak, want stilts. we can be tall, withought being a tall charector. in my personal opinion, dwarves asre the best and my favorite. but i wish to be tall as an elf. so i say stilts! or something like a potion thaqt can make me tall, or anyone. i jsut want to be a tall dwarf.
cant we all jsut be tall and still dwarfs(my case senario)?

Yes, I am sure that everyone will be willing to create tall dwarves (note the oxymoron) just for you. Haha...

The answer is simple: if a dwarf is too short for you, then don't be a dwarf!

It doesn't matter if you are tall or short, but if you were tall it would defy the reason your race are known as Dwarves.

The words tall and dwarf are complete opposites of each other, and you go proposing to make a "tall dwarf"? As Khanja said, making a dwarf tall would defeat the purpose of being a dwarf in the first place.

Typical of a Dwarf!

Bigheaded and dumb, and the consequense of the two means you have to push other people out of your way because either you think yourself so great that others must be moved, or you can't think of any other way around, why do so many Dwarves do this?!

Edit: And it doesn't matter if you are tall or not, neither is 'better'. Is this because someone insulted you? I have been called a small child, and so on many times in the past and yes, it does reflect how small I am but also how small their mind must be to say such a pathetic thing.

Drogla... did you learn nothing from your "father"?
Sorry if I'm being a bit rash, but it seems more and more to me that you just dont understand the concept of this place... If you disapprove so whole heartedly of how this world is set up then just LEAVE!
I for one am tired of you continously raising stupid arguments as well as behaving in a general "slap-me-I'm-dumb" kind o'way.

Do us all (and yourself) a favour, and find another community to annoy.

Click on races over to the left there, then click on dwarves. This is what it says.

I would say impolite describes what you're talking about, no?

impolite...i think that i ahve been very potite, aside from when i have stated that i am in a bad mood and leave everyone. if we go back to my original post, it says about stilts....this is what this is mainly about. not a tall dwaf graphic, but something more like what we have in real life. we have platform shoes, stilts, whay not in illarion? i dont want to be a tall person, i jsut want to be able to look a human in teh eye withough straining my neck or standing 15 paces away! i never mentioned a new graphic for tall dwarfs, now did i? jsut that i dont waqnt to be so short feeling around others that are so tall.
" wish to be tall as an elf. so i say stilts! "
i never ment anything as a 'tall', naturaly tall dwarf. but we should have potions to make someobne bigger or smaller also.

Why don't we have stilts? The answer is because dwarves don't ride on stilts. They are proud of their size and don't want to be tall and don't have problems about talking to other tall races. If you're a dwarf and you have a problem with being short, then that means you're very bad a playing a dwarf and should probably play another race instead.

Dyluck, they are pround of their beards, not height. since they arent usualy around others aside from dwarfs, ehight doesnt matter then. i am a rare dwarf who cares. what is an elf wants to tower over someone, or a jester comes? how can they bee seen through the crowds? they need to be tall, stitles. is that so much to ask???

Yes it is too much to ask. We have much important things to do and no time for the senseless request of one single person's personal preferences.

That's right. Who cares? Not us.

ok, if we take this post seriusly for a second... sorry i cant

A dwarf on stilts? how stupid would that look..
What if someone pushed you off?
You want stilts to look at someone while their talking, why dont you just ask them to kneel down? why dont you stand on a rock?

And who authorised you to talk in the name of us all?
I am proud to be short!
Sure it may bother you time to time, but hey it's up on how you take it personally..
The taller they are, the higher they fall. :wink:
? how can they bee seen through the crowds?
Ask people to move away, or push them away..

..Or break their knees.. :lol:

I agree with Mishrack. How can you go about complaining about how dwarves are too short? Dwarves are meant to be short, not tall. Follow everyone else's advice or take Mishrack's advice and leave. There is nothing that can be done about a dwarf's height, nor will anything take place to change it (stilts...sheesh)

Drogla, could you remove the poll or change it please. It only shows opinion because neither tall or short are 'better' they both have pro's and con's like tall people can see over a hedge, and small people can hide in bushes, but neither are better and the poll won't really answer anything worth knowing except that tall people think tall is better, and small people think small is better (in most cases anyway).

Learn to type, Drogla, learn to type.

I do not see what us re-reading your message has much to do with anything. Perhaps in your mind it has some extra, hidden value, but without stating that value, no one will really know or care to know.

Yours,
