If people would like to share their submissions for the Tubori Racial Perspectives contest here instead of on the personal boards, it might be fun to make them public. Feel free to submit here or via pboard, as previously discussed.

To jog your memory, here's the contest:
We have some fun helpfiles on racial perspectives - check out help vavardi
perspectives, help vandagan perspectives and help lithmorran perspectives. 
But we don't have them for every race!  To fill them out, staff have decided
to hold a series of contests, one race at a time.

We will be starting with Tubori!

To enter, write a pboard to staff with a group (any race or guild), and a
quote that could summarize the average Tubori opinion of them.

For example: Vandagan - "Can't trust those over-serious bastards - they'll
stab you in the back rather than fighting you fair and square!"

You can submit as many entries as you like, and you will receive 1 QP for
each thematic submission made.

Then, we will close submissions on Friday 2/28/2020.  At that point, the
entries that we select for use in the helpfile (one each per race and guild),
will receive an additional 3 QP. 

Here's some ideas to get the juices flowing:

- Vandagan - "Can't trust those over-serious bastards - they'll stab you in the back rather than fighting you fair and square!"

- Charali - "Now, I know gals don't have to be weak little things, but why do their fellows put up with being ordered about?"

- Reeves - "Pfaw, all those laws! Reeves just get in the way of getting things done!"

Already posted these on the pboard, but I don't mind sharing them publicly!

Tubori on Vandagans
"Those money-grubbin', bilgerat-smellin', iceblock-headed curs can take a long walk off a short pier."

Tubori on Lithmorrans
"Stuffy killjoys who don't know a keel from a mast."

Tubori on Charali
"You mean the Vavardi?"

Tubori on Vavardi
"Lithmorrans who think they can sail."

Tubori on Hillfolk
"You mean the Lithmorrans?"

Tubori on Farin
"The Farin are good to trade with, but terrible to drink with."

Tubori on Daravi
"No, I wouldn't do business with them. You'll never see me do business with them."

Tubori on Brotherhood
"Family is important."

Tubori on Order
"I attend every mass, and the church is my first stop after every voyage, if you know what I mean."

Tubori on Merchants
"Trade is life, and life is trade. It wouldn't work without them."

Tubori on Troubadours
"They've always got news or good tips, for a tip.  It's usually worth the silver."

Tubori on Reeves
"If you can't make an honest livin', you join the Reeves."

Tubori on Physicians
"Ain't a good trip without a good doc."

Tubori on Fariners:
"They make for a good designated rower."
"You can trust a Farin cooper to not skim off the top."

Tubori on Lithmorrans:
"Never invite a Lithmorran to a party"
"We make good wine, while they just whine."
"They might dance better without Dav's sceptre up their rears"

Tubori on Troubadours:
"I listen to them, and hope they aren't listening to me."

We're pretty short on responses to this - I'm going to go ahead and extend this out through the weekend. Everybody putting your Tubori thinking caps on, yes?

Tubori on Fariners:
"Fariners say they know how to party, but it ain't one without rum."
"Serious bunch. At least they dress better than Lithmorrans."

Tubori on Charali:
"You mean the Vavardi who can't sail? I hear they got good horses, but what use is a horse on the seas?"

Tubori on Hillfolk:
"Don't know nothin' about 'em. Ain't they just Lithmorrans in the mountains?"

Here have my.... meh try at them.

Tubori on Farin
I think they are trying to compete with us on how many children we have.

Tubori on Vandagen
Puffed up idiots that need to stop hiding in their caves and need to come down from their high horses.

Tubori on Lithmorran
Closed up backwater fools! All this nonsense about something they call gender! But we trade, so things are fine, as long as they don't investigate us. Everyone! Pretend everything is fine and we aren't smuggling!

Tubori on Vavardi
Sodding adulterers! Make for an easy target to jump their ships at least, with all their money just there for the taking.

Tubori on Daravi
Who are the Daravi? Got nothing to do with us.

Tubori on Hillmen
Their marriages are like the marriages of our poor, but a lot less careful and without the importance of love!

Tubori on Charali
Never heard about them, can they even sail?

Tubori on the Order
The Order is the most important part of our lives! And I mean our order, not the backwater order of the Lithmorrans that disregards love and compassion as much as they do. They also helped with removing that disgusting taint from our families.

Tubori on the Merchant's
Do you remember when that Lithmorran merchant went on that ship of theirs to do some sort of delivery? Yeah, me neither.... I swear.

Tubori on the Reeves
The Reeves are the people to join when you got money and want to look good for your family.

Tubori on the Physicians
They saved my life! I always like to have one with me on a voyage.

Tubori on the Troubadour
The people to go to when you need to pay someone to sing good on your parents and make sure they are honored for their deeds.
