Kingdom of Oren

[Charlie4vb 26]

Just a few likert scale polls on your thoughts of Oren. It's not a democracy and your vote doesn't really matter, but it's still nice to let everyone know without QQing in RP chat.

HOW DARE YOU POST THIS! I WILL BAN YOU!

As a whole I am dissapointed, as Oren seems unable to muster any sort of military with which to defend itself.

I'm not happy to live in Oren. Luckily I got my own land now. The Guards are mean(most of them) and the council is useless in many ways.

((Guards also meta alot...and the king/the council is only rarely seen and if they dont rp

I really like the vote "Somewhat Strongly Concur (7 votes [100.00%] - View)" :D

Greetings Juvens))

Best wishes for Oren,

((No, we do not. If you see someone 'Metaing' call'em out on it and screenshot. Get them temp banned for it and I guaranty you they won't do it again. I REALLY dislike people saying the oren guard meta, then don't do anything about it. It's extremely annoying.))

1: Somewhat dissagree. Mostly due to not knowing the direction that it is going. One moment Oren has 3 northern settlements then the next 1 is a ruin, 1 has vanished and one is abandoned to the snowy plains. There are several other villages, not official mind you scattered around between Winterfell and Alkhazar which i rarely see an occupant. Oren guard warning signs about making floating trees seem to go unnoticed. Despite these points I am happy with how Oren is for me as a person.

2: Somewhat agree. The King saw a rough time at the start of his reign, revolts and disgruntled inhabitants of Oren complaining. Though since then Many improvments have been made. The north gate has more patrolling than it did, he has allowed the Elves to build a defensive wall to the North of Alkhazar. Finally he has laid out a greatly detailed structure of the nobles and the laws of the Kingdom. Though I am still pondering his hesitation for forging an alliance with Alras.

3: Somewhat Strongly Disagree. I do not know you so I cannot say you are "sexy" despite the options available. Chuck sounds masculine and i don't think of men as "sexy". ((Finally then name Chuck is also the first name of a really poor actor who has fans for no apparant reason and i hate him with a rather unrelenting vigor.))

Need people to stay in the established cities rather than making inactive unprotected wilderness towns that spreads everyone out.

Yes, that is what i referred to in point one. There are to many villages and such which are not exactly made with their purpose in mind. for example the village to the east of Alkhazar. It is rather big for an unprotected village with so few active inhabitants and its defenses do not portray that of which a village should have. The old wooden palisade of the late Snowy Fields was far more befitting of a village. Rather than a stone wall. Not to mention most of the town is made of stone, which isnt really used as the primary building material for the building of houses within Oren or in a village. It would be far more beneficial for the inhabitants to have sold their resources and purchased a home with in Alkhazar or another settlement if there was housing for sale at that time.

I hate being an Oren Guard because half the time people think you are meta-gaming. For instance while I was on gate duty I heard reports of muggings and Black Hand working on the King's Road so I was on look out for suspicious people. A black hand member walks up to the gate seeking entry and I ask them "Name and business" and someone else tells me not to let them in because they are black hand. Of course it says so on their Title but I didn't say they I wasn't letting them in until my character had actually heard someone say they were Black Hand. But of course I get painted as a meta-gamer because EVERYONE thinks EVERYONE is meta gaming. There is not mutual trust between people that MAYBE the other character has seen them and does know them or has heard of them.

It happened again today when my character saw lightning strike dozens of times in one location and I investigated and saw numerous people in dark robes directly by where the lightning struck which happened to be Sanjezal which had been attacked. I report that it was 'Suspected undead, black hand, or undead supporters' Because at this point shouldn't all those signs point to Undead? Well we rp into the area and we get called meta-gamers because we see the recognized individuals from the attack on Sanjezal because apparently considering them to be undead after seeing them attack a town with lightning and zombies is meta gaming.

It is really irritating and completely ruins my will to play half the time when you have to defend not being a meta-gamer when you aren't meta-gaming. Why does no one trust each other?

I liked the last poll question :3

However, I don't like the current, arrogant Goverment. Most of them are just epic fail oh and the Guards.. Oren Guards....

The king and his officials need to be more connected to the people a lot more in my opinion. He should post notices on what needs to be done,how the citizens of Oren can help the kingdom, and what he plans on doing in the future. He should also try to talk to the people more, and try to help them as much as possible if there are in need of help. Simple things like these can greatly increase how a kingdom does in the world of Aegis.

((Now for the OOC stuff. Basically what I am trying to say is that the king needs to post on the forums more often, or get his officials to post! All I see is a simple thread that shows the status of the kingdom, which is alright but not great. I also said he should talk to people more, which could be a pain in the ass when everybody wants to talk to you, but he doesn't have to talk to people in-game. He could occasionally go in an unlocked teamspeak channel for once, as I have rarely seen him in an unlocked channel. Then maybe people would actually log into teamspeak, and then they could hear why the king doesn't do things as he's complaining about how many things he has to do. These things would help the kingdom a lot in my opinion.))

OOC: I am disappointed at how many people repute the Oren Guard on its recruits. Don't judge us on our recruits! I think this is why we generally have a bad reputation, and I don't think that is correct. First of all, just about anybody can become a recruit in the Oren Guard, unless they are known to have committed crimes. Also, many recruits are newcomers to the game, people who don't quite fully get the picture of what is RP and not to Meta. Please do not just go about claiming the Oren Guard are terrible without stating why. I believe I have brought organisation into the guard and hopefully we are on the up. If you 'Ever' see a recruit or a guard meta-gaming take a screenshot! And then inform me! With adequate proof they will be fired from the guard. Don't just complain about the guard, help us make it better by showing us our weaknesses.
