Persona Database Cleanse

[Sporadic 2844]

Sup LotC,

 

remember how back last year I’d say the ArcheCore database was in dire need of cleaning? Of course you do. Well the change is now here. There was a Lore Team Core Lore discussion a while ago (a long while ago in fact, while I was still in the team), which was aimed at seperating everything into neat little boxes of Core Race, Cultures and CA race. What you’re seeing today is the mechanical side of that update in preparation for 7.0:

 

These Races Have been turned into CAs:

• Olog
• Kharajyr
• Hou-zi

To play them you require an accepted CA linked to your persona card which you can link with the command /cardex creature. The list of approved creatures is maintained by the LT. Your race when playing a creature should still reflect your Persona’s status, meaning it is your Core Descendant Race if playing a creature that was “turned”, or UNSET if you are playing a creature that was created or is otherwise not formed from a descendant race.

If you’re worried about metagaming, you can use /cardex hideca in order to hide this info from showing up to non-mods. If you have any questions, please contact your friendly neighborhood LT.

 

These Races Have been deemed non-core:

• Dark Dwarf
• Adunian
• Snow Elf
• Heartlander
• Highlander
• Farfolk

To play them you can, but are not required to, use the command /cardex culture . There are no strict guidelines nor requirements for you to use this command, although depending on your RP playerbase it may be desired to use this field. This change is purely mechanical and does not affect the status of any accepted lore or the validity of certain cultures over others.

 

To allow this change and to clean up years of confusing and conflicting policy I’ve swept the entire ArcheCore database and tried to reflect your current Persona’s status to best match the correct core race. If you believe there was a mistake for a persona, you can reply in this thread. Please make sure to also mention your Minecraft Name and Persona Slot, counting from 0 (so your leftmost situated persona would be persona 0). Be detailed when providing us with information so we can help you faster ?

 

Here’s a reminder of the rules regarding proper usage of your Persona card, to be updated as questions come into this thread. Please do not hesitate to ask if anything in these rules is unclear to you.

 

• Your Persona’s Race field is meant to be an accurate reflection of your Persona’s ingame status, and must be accurate.
• Playing 2 characters on the same Persona slot is not allowed.
• Playing the same character on several different Persona Slots is not allowed
• Turning a Persona into a CA Persona is only allowed if it is the same roleplay character undergoing a transformation to a creature. Such a transformation must follow all established LotC lore.
• Mods will not set your Persona’s (overlying) race to anything else.
   (exception: in this transition period if my database sweep has caused a mismatch of your current Personas, you may contact GMs to fix the misunderstanding)
• Mods will not adjust any of your Persona’s fields for you, nor help you circumvent a cooldown.

 

Thank you for reading and have a great day.

how long has not playing multiple characters on the same persona been a rule that’s awfully silly don’t ya think

[zaezae 1098]

Yeah, the character/persona rule doesn’t make sense.

Snow Elf

Snow Elves are a subrace, not a culture. Equal to Dark Elves, High Elves, and Wood Elves.

[Treaty 1353]

Tf are you talking about Snow Elves are a culture? 

[Willy6001 128]

I'm sorry but no. If you’re going to take the snow elven subrace away, take high elves, wood elves, and dark elves away with them. 

[Ioannis 1480]

Sometimes I wonder if anyone even cares at all. Is this an actual joke? 

 

Snow elves are an active nation who will get land on 7.0 

And as Willy stated, if you plan to take our subrace away, take away all the other ones aswell and only have default elves.

[EnderMaiashiro 664]

I’m sorry, how can Snow Elves be a sub culture? They are defined genetically separate at this point from the rest of the elven population, including but not limited to stature, life expectancy, fertility, and the related lore regarding their deity and a curse rendering their sanity decreased once they reach 600. Beyond this we have higher numbers than the dark elves and most likely high elves that I have seen in my time here and both populations as far as I can tell are dwindling in number and activity. Honestly, there is a difference between culture and subrace similar as there is between species and sub race in the real world and saying that the Mali’Fenn are a culture is beyond inappropriate considering the separation genetically. Sorry to bring up genetics but as a biologist this has been relevant in my life so it is beyond culture but takes into account biological processes resulting in racial separation that to deny existing would make the entire thought of subraces in this context unrealistic.

[Fekr 424]

That sounds logical because everyone knows that physical attributes that we usually associate with a certain race are rather just changes that happen when you get into a certain “culture”.

 

Im sure the dark elves are really just elves with fully tattooed bodies as an effect of the “culture” they are influenced by at the time.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE are you stupid?!?!??!?!!?

prepare to meet ur maker

[bickando 3967]

Snow elves are a culture not a race

[EnderMaiashiro 664]

@NotEvilAtAll With regards to the kha, interestingly enough we have had more people joining and being invested in the population since the CA change, so it is possible that this is for the better although it does limit our pool to draw from.

@Haelunor What is your reasoning? Multiple generations have passed and in lore they are defined separately with their own features unique to them while remaining able to produce offspring with the other Mali, the definition of subrace.
