[Important] Two Returns!

[Sneaky 189]

The VAT was also probably the lost bias staff team around when it was around. It's a horrible concept to restrict a servers roleplay that is based around "roleplay whatever you want" style roleplay.

[imjoebaker 40]

As a past supporter of VA's I can understand the appeal however, the lust for control must stop and more faith should be put into the community to resolve their own matters. Tools and structure should be implemented to support their Roleplay not hinder it.

One of the best tips that benefits all areas of roleplay is; if you witness shody o mediocre RP explain what they are doing wrong and try to help them trough RP. Having a massive load of OOC clauses and applications is like a safety net that sadly catches all the gems this community has to offer.

I propose you dismantle year teams and employ them as extra GM's who can ensure Roleplay is done correctly and in everyone's best interest. Making mistakes is the only way people learn. Everyone power games once in their lives but a guiding hand is more beneficial than a pimp smack to the face.

It would seem that the only thing improved by these events has been Aislin's reputation points.

 

Thanks, guys!

When VA's were taken away pretty much all actual fun villain RP was gone after picklocking was removed soon after, making every thieving guild null, like the master thieves guild for example, one of the actually surprisingly many thieving guilds that wanted to make fun not just for themselves. When I was a criminal on this server it was the most fun I'd had on the server, playing a guard, soldier, beggar, the most fun was a thief, slaver, and on some occasions being a highwayman, being able to not just have to wait around for other higher ups to make RP or wars, people with VA's could make RP themselves, all in all a lot of fun criminal RP was destroyed soon after VA's were removed, making the only real viable option for thief RP being banditry, which isn't all too bad, but when it's done horribly it's not fun for anyone, and I know that quite a number of others will be glad they're  back, and hopefully start to begin some fun RP. Probably an unpopular opininion, but yeah.

The real reason in my opinion is that people just can't stand losing, and that meta teams are much faster nowadays.

[Salvo 1852]

I did not come onto this server to write an English essay.

 

I have come here because I want to RP and have fun. Take that away. **** us over once more.

 

 

Good job, Admins. 

 

Good job.

[ToenailTickler 290]

Good thing they haven't locked this thread yet. 

They say they are giving it a week until it's implemented or something. In that week they'll look for alternatives but just remove the VAs and MAs. But really remove the VAs like asap. MAs eh.... ya you know what just make this post null and void.

[Mj. 697]

Do what is best for the server, not yourselves.

 

PS: Dont ******** **** ****** ******** ***

[knightly11 | lotc_fox 111]

how can you guys consistently make horrible decisions, i dont understand

 

EDIT:

 

ok looking through the va application i really had to scratch my head and ask myself what the **** the individual who wrote this was thinking.

 

i mean, why are there open rp questions? we used to have them in the server app and i remember them being removed due to the fact they were pretty much useless and didnt prove anything. what even are vat members looking for in these answers? how good the applicant is at writing a ******* paragraph long emote?

 

the va format in place before they were removed last year didnt have any of these, and was just better in every way.

 

we've pretty much gone back to original va's without rp references.

 

i dont get why.

 

[Space 2335]

To everyone angered by the VA/MA reimplementation, you might as well pull some civil disobedience and just not participate on the LotC Server.

 

'If you don't like it leave' is not the attitude to have, methinks.

[IrishPerson 693]

Stop with the restrictions when people are finding it hard to find roleplay, promote dynamic roleplay rather then removing what little of it we have left.

[imjoebaker 40]

Also want to point out that after recently rejoining the server, my second encounter was a spontaneous kidnapping which lead to me being sold off to who I presumed was helping me out. But in fact was all a clever ploy to endanger me further as they lead me into a basement and in a drunkern act attempt to cut my ears.

That was bloody fantastic! OOC'ly we agreed an a outcome that was fair for all players involved.

Simply put, VA's wouldn't have allowed that to happen so spontaneously. If I encountered a problem I could have easily flagged a GM.

[Orlanden 33]

I've never played a Villain, but I think this is ridiculous. And I'm very clearly not the only one. The majority of the community doesn't want VA's back. This needs to be addressed accordingly. Until then, you can pretty much expect people to continue being a villain while holding their middle finger high and waving it around. Mr. Bean fashion.

 

[Nathan_Barnett36 1564]

So a guard can't kill a person has commited a crime? An army can't defend from a raid because killing people requires a VA? Menerra, pack your bags and off you go please, and bring this BS idea with you. This is an extreme waste of a thread. Think about how many people you've pissed off Menerra.

[argonian 14254]

This is like the status update removal from a while ago. No one wanted it but we got it anyway because the admins don't give a **** about anything but exerting power in their Minecraft premium roleplay server. 

 

Prepare to have your app denied for the dumbest reasons, fix all those reasons and then get the next one denied for new and incredibly moronic reasons that the last VAT didn't bring up at all.

Oh and it's just brilliant that characters that have been doing villainous acts for IRL months have to nonsensically stop until they can get past a stupid, arbitrary Application Team. They'll deny people they dislike because their motives are only 9 lines long but let others through with horrible apps just like they did last time around. The amount of apps denied for motives or weaknesses or whatever being unclear when they were perfectly clear and explained was incredibly large.

And why is provoked killing a villainous act? If someone stabs my friend, why can't I kill them?

EDIT: At least the bio is gone this time. Writing your character's life story just to be able to steal was dumb. Especially since the bio had to give reasons for why your character ended up doing villainous acts which meant you had to have a scarred terrible past just to steal bread.
