So, it's Trips here, again. This time I'll bring you a little webcomic.. series? 

A glimpse in the daily shenanigans of the Covenant, though mostly the Ikuras Cult.

I'll try to make new ones every week atleast.. or five per month, but surely a break will be on 2nd of December to 15th of December. Also shoutout to birdwhisperer for the idea of doing comics like these! (Adventures of Nimdravur & the Lich)  

Also shoutout to Watyll for acting as an idea bank and helping with dialogue too.

I understand that many don't know what happens in Embermoor, so this will be an eye-opening experience.

..did you say you had ideas? Talk to me on skype! -> itriplewing

Nations

The definition of a nation is a group of active players who own a tile and have an accepted nation application. The full benefits of a nation are as follows: 

• Access to a green soulstone pillar
• The ability to create fast travels to their sub-regions
• Ownership of their nation capital’s tile
• Ability to purchase additional tiles
• A subforum dedicated to their nation

In order to become a fully recognized nation a group of players must go through a nation charter application. This process involves becoming an aspiring nation by creating and submitting the application, passing an activity trial and paying the pre requisite fee of tile purchasing. The benefits a group of players receives upon having their nation application placed on pending are:

• A green soulstone pillar
• A subforum for their aspiring nation
• Entry into the activity trial

Failure to pass the activity trial will see these benefits revoked. If you fail your activity trial you will have to wait a month to reapply. You must wait at least a week after your land charter application is accepted in order to make a nation application. 

Aspiring Nation Application

1. What is the name of your nation / group? What kind of culture do they have? How long have they existed (in real-life time)? 
 
2. What land do you currently own? List all regions.

3. What will your capital region be? Please list the Worldguard region name as well as the RP name of the settlement. 
 
3. Please link accepted land charter applications below.
 
4. What are your goals for nation status? This can be anything - remember, this is a hidden sub-forum. Your intentions and goals will not be publicly known.
 
5. Approximately how many members are in your group? How many of them are actively playing? Be honest! If I were to visit your capital city on any given day and at any given time, how many people could I expect to see? How about during peak hours? And what about during the "dead" hours?
 
6. Who will be leading your nation as nation lead / king / etc.? Please list both MC and RP names.

Activity Trial

The activity trial occurs over the course of one month in which the capital of the aspiring nation is checked regularly for activity which is compared to the number of players online at the time of the check. Additionally, activity on the granted subforum will contribute to the progress of the activity trial however it is not mandatory. At the end of the one month period the activity of the nation will be evaluated by the GM Charter Team and the Administration. 

Should the aspiring nation fail their first month of activity trial they will be notified of such and receive one additional month to boost their activity. If they fail the second activity trial their aspiring nation charter will be denied.

If the aspiring nation passes their activity check they will be notified on their nation application and will have one week to pay the required fee (detailed below) or their application will be denied.

Nation Fee

The fee for a tile is 40,000 mina which the aspiring nation will have to pay upon passing of their activity trial. However, if the capital of the region was purchased through the independent charter applications the cost of that region will be deducted from the tile cost. For example, if the aspiring nation has a 150x150 region purchased through the independent charter applications they will have to pay 40,000 - 30,000 mina, meaning a total of 10,000 mina. Note, price deduction does not apply to regions created outside of the independent charter application. 

Purchasing Additional Tiles

To purchase additional tiles a nation will have to pay the full 40,000 mina price and go through a tile purchasing application which will serve to act as both documentation and to prevent a mass influx of owned tiles. To purchase a tile you must have one adjacent to the tile you wish to purchase. The application format can be found here:

Creating Subregions

Subregions can be created on any tile owned by the nation and do not cost anything. To create a region, modreq in game with written evidence of the nation leader’s approval to have the region setup in their tile at that specific location. Note, the region’s location must be explicitly approved by the nation leader and must fall entirely within a tile owned by the nation. Failure to provide the required evidence will result in your modreq being closed and you having to create a new modreq once you have acquired proper approval. 
 

Tamriel was flipped on it’s side. Chaos ensued, and everything seemed bleak. With the World Shatter, the Aldmeri Dominion had no one to lead it; the Empire had no one to lead it. Hammerfell has no one to lead it. The world was left without leaders.

It took nearly 70 years to reach the stability of today, but stability has returned, at least in part. The counties of Tamriel have been tamed once more. Now, the future of them all lies in the hands of their leaders.

Starting Information

Everyone starts the game with a few certain things in their tile; You have your base of operations (usually a major city) in disrepair, an iron mine because iron is crap, and some farms so your people don't starve. You also have whatever is agreed upon from your free actions.

Magic:  Magic is more ambiguous than it is in the actual games. The spells from the game are more guidelines for this, where magic is handled a little more freely. Anything you can do with magic in the Elder Scrolls games, you can do in this game, however, there is more to magic than that. The Elder Scrolls games handle magic the way it is because it NEEDS to be done that way, for a magic system to really work. This game shouldn't have that issue.

GF all

I hope you feckin' enjoy the Mineman rollplay server video. Join the Thunderfist today. 

but now it seems the server is lacking ideas as where to move next, and after some studying, I have some ideas as to how we can improve lotc and it's community

1.) Remove Welfs

2.) Ask players to stop making male skins that look like girls, misa no like traps

3.) Equality with animals, if ologs can have it why can't a cow?

4.) Delete the lotc channel

5.) Lotc Battle Royale

5.5.) Embrace the fursonas

6.) Buy me some vbucks

7.) Make a lotc movie that has 69 dislikes

8.) Stop ruining krugsmas

9.) Who want's to play some fortnite? 

10.) A clan of khas who all look like garfield

If you feel like you have ideas feel free to comment them below, just know that opinions and facts that go against me noticed as a act of discrimination against me because I'm going to use a petty excuse to get you reported because I'm too butt hurt and I can't come up with a good comeback. (that's how people report others for joking them right?)

Pls don't bully me for my pfp, my boyfriend thought it was cute

On an old server I played on, a keystone thread of the forums was their "Face Behind the Screen" threat, wherein players would post how they actually look in real life and a fact about themselves.  I've noticed that Lord of the Craft seems to lack such a threat that is taken seriously, so I decided to create one of my own.  I welcome and invite everyone else to post as they wish on this, and give as little or as much as they please.

I'm Bloody_Russian (Nickname Bloody,) I'm a freshman in college majoring in history, and my first roleplay server was Legend of Aelryth.  My face is below.

In nominei dei TYRONE

Grand prince Tyrone 1st of his name establishes a new principality.

Anyone interested in joining should add me on discord, jim#2311, and you can reserve a nation. After the first match, it will become locked. Our first game will be on March 23rd. Having all the DLC is recommended to take full advantage of the game. I am, reluctantly, allowing the large nations.

Reserved nations:

Jim - Switzerland

Bromadon - Hungary

Beamon - Germany

Japan - Fraserh

Here's an old one I loved from a long time back,

Whoops.

I know most people had the take-way that I overreacted because "it was just a meme, bro," and I agree. Part of it was just a meme. However, the other part of it was that the meme was just a very small piece of straw that had broken a very tired and over-encumbered camel's back.

For that, I am sorry. I am sorry that I snapped at people, and likely burned many of the bridges I had made with a lot of you. I admit I am not in a good place in my life, and I am overly sensitive to specific triggers, while stronger against others. 

I use Minecraft as an escape from the sh*t-stain of a life I'm currently living (lol you do not want to know, trust me), and when people say stuff directed at or around me, like the slurs I mentioned, it just... I mean, let's put it this way.

I let a lot of sh*t slide. All day, every day. I "took the high road," on a lot of things in life and online, even joked around with people slinging them. But after relentless waves of sh*t slamming into the support beams underneath that road, the stupid, silly meme that honestly was not meant to hurt anyone just ended up collapsing beneath me. I lashed out in the only way I knew how: making a long-winded, SJW-sounding post about it. That was a very, very bad decision.

This time, I'll be as brief as I can. Here goes nothing.

If I haven't burned every single bridge I built with the people on LotCs, then I'd love to come back. I'll just be turning off Global OOC for a while. I'll take a step back when I need it, and thicken my skin as much as  can. I'll take the advice I've been given to heart. 

In the end, however, I still think it's not okay for people to freely toss about slurs, but I realize the only person I can change is myself. I wanted a rule to be added so that people to use [insert list of racial, ethnic, and anti-trans slurs] as little as possible, but I know it's still going to happen. I've accepted this.

I still love this server, and want to salvage what I can in the way of friendships. I know I have to change some things about me in order to do that, and I'm willing to. I nly ask for and would appreciate your understanding... and forgiveness.

In closing, as much as possible:

Much love and respect,

- Nanners

(all participants agreed obviously)

One thing that I am really passionate about and want to encourage as many people to do is to donate to try to save lives, and while donating money is a great way to help charities, physically donating is often one of the best ways you can change someones live forever.  I am an organ donor and a stem cell donor (bone marrow), and even though I am terrified of blood it's my aim to give blood this year.

These usually cost nothing, take up very little time and make you feel really great as a person.

LOTC is such a big community, that if we all signed up for blood donations, organ donations, and stem cell donations, we could potentially help shape hundreds of lives. We are such a diverse community that we have a wide range of criteria and blood types that are needed.

There are many different ways you can donate all over the world, so I'm going to be listing a few places and websites by country. 

(Please leave me some links to donor websites in your country, I'll add it to the list!)

In return, I'm going to be offering free skins for anyone who can show me proof of them joining a donor list, or that they have donated recently. I've also got some random steam keys if skins aren't your thing.  https://www.planetminecraft.com/member/imibee/

~-~ I hope we can all do something really great and selfless together to save lives. ~-~
