Visual Media Studios 121 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Recent News (hehe our video broke...) January has had a few changes over the past few weeks. Allow us to summarize what has happened. Creative Cafe As of January 30th, we had our first creative cafe of 2016. With many signing up to sing, joke, and do skits on teamspeak, we have hit it off. Creative Cafe is a place to have fun and show off your talent. There will be more during the year, but this one marks the first for 2016. See the Song Druid’s thread for more details. Time of Peace Starting from January 25th to February 2nd, there will be no wars, rebellions, or warclaims so that the GM team may work on the war system. This may inconvenience several players but hopefully the short break will just be that, short. For more information on the break, check out Pandan’s thread. Siege of Kal’Ordholm A lovely post written by ymbninjakiller about the Siege involving dwarves, orenians, and the elves went up earlier this month. It is worth giving it a read as writing a summary would not do the post justice. You can find his thread here. Four for the Federation Earlier this month we accepted four new GMs from trial. James, Benbo, Freema, and Gigarun have all been accepted as full GMs. Make sure to give them their congratulations. More info can be found in Pandan’s thread. PK Rule Change Readicti posted a simple rule change for PKing your character. While it is still completely up to the player whether they wish to PK or not, they have now made it so you can not loophole around the rules. While there is still no forcing of PK, you may want to give the thread a read to make sure you are following the guidelines written out. Remember, only members of the staff can approve your PK being voided. Comic! (“Dwarven Secret Weapon” by Whimsy) Player Interview ~ Dakir This week’s player of the week is: Daki! Art by Numirya and Genevieve-ChanHey Daki! how does it feel to be the player of the week? Feels pretty damn fly. What brought you to Lotc? A couple friends of mine. We were playing on a small rp server called Alagon but after some tension with the owner we jumped ship and looked for something new.So the darkie city looks beautiful, what are some of the challenges you’ve had with the race now and in the past? Well I’ll pass that word onto my builder! To be honest most buildings I make turn out looking like turnips. GreatSmirnovius has built pretty much everything. But as for challenges, well there’s always the stigma that comes with them. Most new players think that dark elf = drow, which isn’t true of course. As well as some current players making dark elves just to cause drama. The whole onyx culture I’ve been trying to build for almost two years now is about patience, honour, and a humble way of life. As well as to frown upon the “old ways” (i.e taking slaves, sacrificing people, etc) which gave the darkies such a bad name. But old habits die hard apparently. Aside from that just the small numbers of the race alone can cause problems with activity and such, but right now we seem to be doing mighty fine. Do you have anything big planned for them in the future?To be honest. Nothing too crazy. Perhaps when we get our new map I’ll push to become a nation again, but a much smaller one. Losing the dark elf home island made me realize that it’s a lot easier (and a lot more fun) to keep things at a smaller scale. The darkies have always been a low population race and that’s what I should focus on, working with what I have and making a great experience for a small group. Rather than a subpar experience for a large group. Culture, festivals, and clan/family rp are what I want to make the dark elves about. Feedback Do you have feedback, comments, questions, or ideas? Let us know in a PM! We are looking for constructive criticism, ideas, and members. We want to know what you like and want to see! VMS is Recruiting Now, here at the VMS, we are looking for new members! We’re quite small still but we’re now looking to expand and add more members to us. With more members, we will be able to get more media related subjects up for LOTC. What we’re looking for are people who are artists, no matter the drawing style. People who can gain information or anything that the VMS may be interested in talking about. Also, we need people who can take incredible screenshots with Optifine and shaders, as well as people who can make renders or animations and recorders. Lastly, having script writers and voice actors for the videos we post will be very helpful. I’m sure there’s many other roles out there as well. Be sure you’re capable of getting your work in before the deadline and good with working as a team. Also, we want people who are friendly, creative, and willing to give their own ideas to the team. If you think this applies to you, then go ahead and apply! There will be a link under the video where you can apply for the team. Just be sure you can have some free time and don’t miss deadlines, it can be really stressful at times so don’t push yourself. And importantly, remember to have fun with this. The best thing to do is to do something you enjoy doing, don’t force yourself to do something you may not enjoy.
