Whitelist Applications

"Brother..." murmured an old Oyashiman, "Treading in the footsteps of Hahaoya are we?" she'd smile briefly, but it was quickly cut short "Curse you."

An imp stirred around in ire within the writhing the pits of the horrific realm, his home, the Moz. After having been slain he wouldn’t remember his slayer but couldn’t help but feel as if his death was unique and that whatever killed him hopefully remembered his face or if he died by falling down the impossibly long stairs “DAAL WILL FREE HIMSELF IN MONTHS MONTHS! GASHADOOKIEKURO WAIT FOR MEEEEEE!”

There is shouting in the dungeon. Deia stands by the door, amidst the blood and muck, and watches as it stains her shoes, stains her. The breeze brushes past to the cells and back out against her spine and she’s so very cold. Everything is cold without the Queen. In the shadow of her death, they call her the White Flame. They call her venerated and a Queen of the people (what is left of the people) and they speak of her kindness, her generosity, her love, as a mistake to learn from. Red pools at her feet like water and she feels the brush of fingertips against her ankle, the first of a trail of corpses that will lead her to her sister. She doesn’t have to look to know their wounds, nor that they will ever flow, an endless fountain from a slit throat, a pierced heart, a skewered eye. She doesn’t have to look to know there are dozens. For her. For them. For love. The gruesome sound of a glaive against flesh makes her open her eyes. When she turns towards the wail that follows, the dungeon door is stainless, there is no weight in her hands, and Amaya is still dead. Look, a voice demands, at what she has wrought.

Dhen looked at the missive, simply saying “John’s insulting poem must of been too good. She is taking the ones he loves because she can’t make a better song. I must pen one for John to join the cause.” The thing then turned around and set to work writing down the next big Balian hit

Peregrine sat upon a stool in the corner of their shared space, her head bowed and hands clasped upon her knees. Her wide eyes stared at nothing as she learned of the demise of her one and only student; the fallen Prince she uncovered from the ashes. He had risen like a phoenix, his flame snuffed out too soon. "I'm ready to see them bleed." Her fists tightened, the sapphire scars marring her skin sparking with lightning. There was no sadness in the heart of the Martyr Undying, but a rage that could only be cooled with blood.

A true, Braevosian farmer holds his ears of corn. He utters deep murmurs about how he will never have as much corn as the Xionist Lords.

I’m a pretty new player returning to LOTC and have been having fun playing my Musin; mostly around Babblebrook Village near Dunwen. Though, I have met quite a few of you at the Cloud Temple too. My character is called “Knave” and he runs the local scrapyard and recycling center in Babblebrook. He is my only character and I am committed to playing him as my only persona. I’ll give you a few of my thoughts about being a Musin so far. Stuff I like about playing Musin: Super positive players: Really a great group of players! I think wanting to play a cute little mouse-person must self-select for really nice people. I have yet to meet a rude Musin. Well maybe me sometimes. Damn. Non-violent solutions: Musin are non-violent by nature, so it is interesting to have to find different ways to solve problems and disputes. Hitting each other with swords when we disagree is just not the Musin way. It’s refreshing! Stuff I have disliked about playing a Musin: CA restriction: Not many Musin around, probably at least in part to the barrier to entry. Having to do a CA app to play a Musin is annoying. We have less “power” than most if not all other races. Why should it be restricted? People abusing their weakness? Lesser Soul: I don’t like being told I have a “lesser soul”. It’s just small and efficient like me. I don’t mind the restrictions that come from it. I just don’t like the terminology and don’t think we would use the term ourselves. It sounds like colonizer language. Random OOC discrimination: Never quite understood this one. I like Mickey Mouse so I must be some kind of degenerate? Weird behavior, but pretty rare and easy to ignore. Things I would change: We should stop saying “Mouse-Men”. What about the ladies? Others? It’s not very inclusive and people might think we only want “men” involved. Mousekind? Mousepeople? Mousefolk? Dump the CA for Musin. IMO it’s not needed. Let us police our players like the other races do. Between us and staff I am sure we can handle any problem players/characters. I would like to see Musin culture grow and change organically with our players over time. I would like to see us embracing parts of other cultures we experience and inexpertly trying to graft them onto current Musin beliefs. Celebrating holidays that we don’t understand (and screw up) for example. I would like to see Musin characters pushing into roles as great craftspeople and innovators of the world. I think the naivety of our people should be fading with time. We are smart and have nimble little fingers. Musin themes I like and want to see: Junk and Packrats Craftsmouseship Railcart Racing Culture Nature Shamanism Hallucinogenic Drug-Based Religious Rituals Science Mice! Misappropriating Others’ Beliefs Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this. I have really been enjoying my time on LOTC. I bought gold VIP and am just about to come up on my 30 day voting milestone. If it sounds like fun, come play mice with us!

A post stapled to Dyonne's door, and for anyone to read, "While the Island of Nevaehlen does indeed contain within its walls a military known as the Greenblade, it is insufficiently organised. The Greenblade lacks structure to command its forces in the field and specific unit elements that would help lead it into success. This results in its inefficiency and lack of ability to scale into a large fighting force in the given moment, which would be remedied by the following recommendations: institution of officers and the institution of small-unit tactics. Both would remedy the lacking structure and elements, allowing for distinguished successes on the field. The institution of officers would allow for the further structuring of the military into allowing objectives to be determined and achieved rapidly. The benefits of a proper officer corps are numerous and shall briefly be listed here. An officer can provide efficient decision-making as they will be the sole individual in control of the unit instead of many voices speaking outwards in the field of battle; an officer can force the upholding of unique professionalism & ethical conduct stands by being the one that the unit must answer to; an officer, through their specialised knowledge and expertise, can effectively plan & adapt to their evolving threat environment; an officer can preserve institutional knowledge by training & mentoring junior officers; and finally, an officer can maintain morale and cohesion by assessing risks & making informed decisions for the betterment of the health of the squadron. Furthermore, a cohesive officer corps ensures unity of command, where decisions are centralised and communicated clearly with all other command elements. To speak as to the implementation of the officer corps, Dyonne has brought up that the Vigilants may act as a military officer corps in their own right. I disagree that this is the best course of action, as the Vigilants seem to also have day-to-day civilian governmental responsibilities that would be detracted from. Furthermore, in historical pasts, introduction of civilian leadership to operational command tends to lead to conflicts & confusion of authority within the ranks, leading to a detraction of a clear military hierarchy. It also should be noted that maintaining a clear distinction between civilian and military leadership would preserve public trust in both institutions - ensuring that the military serves the Vale as a whole, rather than any particular interest group. I, instead, believe that we should have the Vigilants setting goals for the military to achieve and oversight to extend that the military works within the framework of accountability to the populace, whilst initially recommending individuals to promotion for the officers. The institution of small-unit tactics will also benefit the Vale’s populace in its entirety. These would indicate groups of four to six people led by the officers as discussed. These squadrons would be trained to assault, defend, and work towards objectives. These squadrons would be led by an officer, supported with a medic, use a specific alchemist for base of fire, and have a scouting element to it. This would have to be implemented after the officer corps. It is the recommendation of this memo that we start organising the Greenblades using proper military officers that would be schooled entirely in small-unit tactics under the instruction of myself and Ahren, as a result of our experience in both."

Receiving the letter, the Uruk would read it before reciting a prayer to Kor himself. Once he read the contents of the letter, he would grab a shovel and walk over to the shore of the lake surrounding Caza de Lur. "Latz will be remembered ziztur agh mi will make zhure latz get a proper burial." He solemnly says to himself, as he begins to dig a grave and prepare for the burial of his good friend.

Long ago amidst the fields outside of the Jade State, a military dictator remembered the images of the crying goat surrounded by occultist iconography and how potent power had been offered to that long lost friend who camped in those fields. ”Souka, they must think they’re in Yopinawa kakakaka!”

Holy Ser MacSkaul would sit in his study while reading the missive. As he finished reading he would pray for the dead before going to check up on his wounded men.

[!] A strange, deranged parchment makes its way into libraries around Aevos. It lacks a name, a title, and everything save for the text between the illustrations. The Survival of the Fittest is nature’s most fundamental law. All progress is derived from it; it compels the wild creatures to be stronger, and it compels civilizations to be greater. It mercilessly culls what is weak and rewards what is strong. For all of existence, sentient life has been bound by this law. Because of this, reality is trapped in a never ending cycle of violence. What was weak becomes strong, and what is strong is made weak in the face of new strengths. And thus, even the strong will eventually fall victim to the cruelty of this world. Existence is filled with suffering, but it is also filled with beauty. If only we could break from the cycle of evolution and find a new way to progress - one that prioritizes beauty and minimizes suffering. The deities seem greater than us in every way, but they too are chained to this cycle. Verily, they are chained even more than we are! For they have fixed natures, and therefore can only progress their might and control. We, however, possess flexible natures, and are capable of rebelling against our own vices. Because of this, we alone possess the power to rebel against the cruelty that otherwise saturates nature. Individuals must first learn to forsake all desires save the desire for the greater good. Yes, they must not be selfish, but they must also give up their reliance on families and tribes and cultures. Dedication to one’s tribe leads to hatred against outsiders and irrational loyalty to insiders. The cycle of violence in descendants is primarily not promulgated by individual selfishness, but by the desire to avenge a “victimized” group. Read. Listen. Seldom are wars raged because “our nation is great and ought to control the world!” Instead, a nation will produce a list of the crimes committed against them by an enemy as an excuse to war with them. Citizens perceive their nations’ enemies not as merely weak, but as evil. Nonetheless, nations are crucial to the pursuit of progress. Through the enforcement of laws, governments are able to prevent individuals from hurting each other for selfish gain, thus forcing citizens to form symbiotic relationships. Governments are also capable of drastically influencing their citizen’s beliefs, and thus present a powerful mechanism by which faith in The Greater Good can be promoted. Ideally, a nation wishing to devote itself to The Cause will enforce strong laws against every sort of disadvantageous behavior, be it unauthorized meddling with darkspawn, physical violence, laziness, or harmful beliefs. The nation must not, however, use violence to enforce these laws. The reason for this is twofold; if violence is normalized, the state will not exercise discretion in using it, and the state will inevitably cause more suffering than blessing. Furthermore, violence leads to the people losing trust in their government, and it gives foreign nations fodder for negative propaganda. Thus, a nation should prioritize utilizing the forces of peer pressure, propaganda, and religious fervor to reshape the public’s belief system. Next, should an individual prove to be troublesome, drugging, verbal struggle sessions, Only when a citizen demonstrates that they are utterly uncontrollable should physical punishment, imprisonment, or execution be considered. Though again, violence should not be made a spectacle lest the public become outraged or foreign nations start to judge. The reason why the state must be so aggressive in promoting The Cause is that, despite it being the only good cause, it is a deeply unpopular cause. It seeks to upheave descendent nature. Thousands of years of natural selection has led to our natures being deeply short-sighted. We are most often selfish, caring only about the needs and wants of ourselves or our family and friends. Many are less selfish, but still tribalistic, caring only about the victory and glory of their country or religion. Even altruistic motives are flawed; we despise any amount of descendent sacrifice, even if it is required for long-term progress. The long-term process of creating a utopia in the distant future is too tedious to capture the instinctual hearts of descendants; the state must play a role in keeping these brutish desires in check, and in inspiring citizens to pursue the highest goal. Once such a government has been established, it must ensure that its nations’ internal affairs remain as close to utopia as possible. This will mean that the government does not merely focus on long-term goals, but that it also devotes a significant amount of energy towards strengthening its economy and military and increasing its population. Once strong, the nation must set its eyes on expanding its power, though not through direct wars of conquest. It should ally itself with other nations that are likely to go to war and win. Then, in fighting for foreign causes, it can win for itself land or resources. This allows the ideal nation to expand its borders without that expansion appearing as its only goal. Should the nation find itself an actual enemy, economic, information, and population warfare should be considered before actual violence. Eventually, we can hope that such a nation will provide a beacon of hope to reality. It shall set aside all morals and tribes and desires for the Greater Good. It shall be stalwart in its pursuit of eternal utopia, and it shall give those of us who long for a perfected world hope and peace.

The Recently crowned Lich comes to hear of these deaths, a cackle resonating throughout its ribcage, as tenebrous smog leaks from its form. With understanding of soul, and mastery of bone, the Gravelord knew it was only right to summon forth those soldiers. "Our accord has been struck, and a deal is to be completed. You shall rise once more, Radmir"

"Nature - (Flowers, vines, azaleas, kelp, bamboo, APPLES, spores, drip leaf, pickles, etc.)" Does this work? Did this ever work?
