I am genuinely curious.

• What is your favorite part about Haense? 
• What song would you feel personifies the military and people of Haense?
• Do you believe that there are things in Haense that require the immediate attention of the people living there? Problems or potential fixes to kinks in the system? 
• How has your day been so far? Do anything interesting? 

Shamefully enough I wrote up this massive thing for you yesterday and then it seemed to never post itself on the forums. I'll do some TL:DR of what I remember. @IncompliantLore

1. The Community of Haense is my favourite part hands down, as for IRP aspects I love the sense of "Fighting against the elements" and being on the "Frontier" that Haense offers. It has also for a long time been the area that often has a lot of events that threaten or have impact on the LoTC map at large in it. There has been times where these trends have been shared with others, but overall I much prefer Haense approach.
2. "Slavic woman's farewell" I personally prefer the Scandinavian Rendition, I suppose the Swedish one is specifically stellar.
3. There are always things that can be fixed in any nation/community, when it comes to immediate matters then there has been a shortage of houses inside the walls of Markev for two days now. This is a problem we seek to rectify, but at large we ask for peoples patience in the matter. We are usually rather quick in solving problems and kinks in Haense, currently one of our few issues is the inactivity of the tavern. It isn't entirely inactive, but not active enough for our tastes and so solving this will aide the citizenry.
4. Yesterday was great and a lot of things were accomplished, it was an overall productive day with a lot of laughs and scares to my own dismay. (I blame @TorkoalTom) It has been quite tiring to some extent, it seems Global Warming is starting to hit Scandinavia really hard and the rest of the world as well. I for one have never experienced a single summer with 32 degrees celsius in Sweden. We would joke about how 22+ degrees for more than three days was a rare summer, here we are today and every day is atleast 28+ for months on end.

What icon (fictional or non-fictional) do you look up to or find that motivates you?

 

Hans Christian Andersen, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Peter Freuchen, my grandpa, grandma and mother -- these have been the greatest influences in my life.

Sorry, but sacrifices have to be made.

• Past: Carr Colborn Present: Matthew Colborn

 

• I don't have one favourite though I can mention quite a few of note : ). "The Lord of the Rings", "Spirited Away", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Life of Pi", "Source Code", "Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger", "Kingdom of Heaven", "Arn the knight templar", "Inception", "Gladiator", "Letters From Iwo Jima", "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter".

 

• I overall believe that organic roleplay is an important staple, all my characters have a tendency to change slowly but steadily over time. It all really depends on what things happen to them and inspires said change to happen. I think people also need to be more open to the idea of creating roleplay, it is important to make sure your character to some extent fits into a category that let's you interact with others on a steady basis. There are a lot of things that can be done to enchance roleplay, I think one of the greatest mistakes people make is abandoning their characters if they aren't having "fun". If you don't invest time into your character and lead them through good times and bad times, then you'll never really enjoy your characters - your characters just like you aren't always happy nor always experiences excitement. If people have an average of 5 hours they can spend on LoTC a day in a summer, then if they keep giving up on their characters until they have 4 characters. They will only end up spending either most of their time on one of them (making the other ones redundant), or dividing their time on the characters which doesn't give them enough time to develop their characters at all. 

 

I can say for certain that when i'm looking back at my characters, the reason I feel nostalgia and happiness at what they accomplish. The reason for why I remember each thing that went down so fondly, is because there were bumpy hills and mountains to climb. If it would had all just been smooth sailing i'd overall probably not though of it with that much interest, it's the same thing in real life. We as human beings need obstacles in our way to overcome, if we don't have them we feel as though we have no purpose. I believe if anything, ironically enough the fact that people strive to create constant "excitement" and "cool experiences" for their characters, are more than likely the main reason why said characters get boring. If it isn't that then it's because the goal they have can't be overcome, there literally is no one that has 24/7 hours of excitement on LoTC. I think people should instead use the bad things to create good things, I think a good example of recent is how my character got bedridden. In a lot of ways you would assume sitting around in a bed all day is boring as hell, yet I just told people to come RP with me. There was up and downs, bad things happened and good things happened. I would say overall though that being bedridden was probably the highlight of this month, that isn't because my month was uneventful but rather because so much development took place in the RP related to it.

 

I think roleplay just like real life will surprise people, you can't always get what you expect from the common excitements. I for one usually find a night in the tavern extremely boring, yet if you pull in a few of your characters IRP friends my opinion changes. It is the experiences, the ups and downs we've had together as people that makes us enjoy life. If you want to enjoy your character you need to be prepared to face those problems, or atleast have goals that needs to be overcomed. I think that would be my overall best advice, give yourself goals and use the journey to your advantage and as a whetstone to sharpen your experience.
