I have this really out of this world idea. A division of builders dedicated to the Story Team. What will we call them, you ask? The Story Builders.

But on a more serious note, the builders are being worked on by the other team and hopefully will be seeing this cleared up and builds being made soon again.

So does this mean that you guys will be accepting that new ghost lore rewrite made by @Dardonas that has been under review for a month now?

Sort the lore subforums and keep what is and isn’t usable denoted by the separation.

Get active members to do TA’s, dont let them sit for anymore than a week.

Get Loremags done consistently, dont let lore wait around in pending hell longer than 2-3 weeks and stick to those words. Only extend it if the LT handling it is slow and its not the lore creators fault.

You people completely ruined any creative twist to lore in exchange for a blanket "everything is equal" ballpark thats made having anything lore related basically negligible in the long run.

 

You've sucked the enjoyment and unpredictableness i had with the lore on this server and the people who used it and made it a very depressing experience to even attempt to relate to anymore, to the point i dont even want to play, have fun with your version of "better lore", let me know if it produces any memories as powerful as aegis or anthos, because frankly the last few years have been stagnating at best.

 

Ill get a lot of hate for this but it was a lot more then lore to me in the good old days, it was the tools to create a really good story, tools that have been quite literally nerfed

      Hello, I’ve only had a couple hours of sleep in the past two days so I’m not going to bother reading through the comments, so I really do apologize if my points have been made by someone else. I also apologize if I’m not 100% clear regarding my issues. If something doesn’t make sense I’ll try my best to explain further and or  edit my post after I go to bed when I get off work.

 

     My biggest thing against LT at the moment is how they seemingly act towards lore writers. I have a fair amount of respect for Lotc staff, even though I write really dumb shitposts about them that have probably made me seem like a retarded ass screecher by now. But I understand that none of y’all get paid and you’re all doing this in your free time, and as a former Forum Manager on a different server, I understand how tough that can be.

 

     I don’t care if it takes months to review a lore, as inconvenient as it is for everyone involved. I don’t care if a lore I’m partial towards gets denied because it just doesn’t work, and I don’t care if **** gets shelved because people abused its mechanics too badly. You all are trying to make sure fun, enticing lore is active on the server, and you have to weed out the **** that doesn’t work. That’s understandable, I get it.

 

     What I absolutely hate is when someone spends months on a rewrite, with little to no help from anyone else, just for someone high up on the lore team to immediately **** on it without giving it a second glance. Whether it’s because they either don’t personally agree with the lore, they assume it’s not going to fit the server, or if it’s just plain cringy, I don’t know. I just know that it’s just absolutely disrespectful and degrading to the lore writer. Make fun of it in private chats if you have to, but to just metaphorically spit on their face immediately after submission because it doesn’t align with your personal opinions? That’s just fucked up. 
 

     Lore writers are just as much volunteers as anyone on the lore team is. They aren’t paid to write lore. They aren’t professionals, and I’m certain most lore writers are just your average teenagers who have an idea on how to improve the server and make it a little more fun for the playerbase. Worst case scenario, they’re power grabby and want an op magic tucked in their belt. However, I truly believe that these are few and far between, and that most lore writers are genuinely just trying to improve the server.

 

     I am 100% certain that everyone knows which LT Staff Member I’m specifically talking about with the above points, and I would totally name drop if I didn’t think it would get my post removed. Just know that when you read this, this is why I called you a screaming ****** who needs to chill the **** out, as seen in that quote from the necromancy chat that that one dude leaked. (It wasn’t bias, I don’t even want necromancy for any of my characters. It was just the tipping point after seeing so many other comments made by you, and I probably went a little overboard. If you want to hit me up on discord to yell at me or talk or whatever you want, my tag is on my profile. If not, it’s whatever. I don’t really mind either way.)

 

     Another issue I have with the Lore Team is the fact that they’re seemingly scared to bring issues up to lore holders when they find a possible issue with a magic. I’ve been told by an LT Member that this is because they have to deal with people bitching about their magic getting picked on, and I can understand how one could dread having to interact with that. I’m a security guard at my tribe’s casino, so I have to deal with that kind of horse **** every time I have to tell someone to stop breaking one of our house rules, god save my ears if I have to kick them out or ban them... However, if someone wants to scream and moan about their lore “getting picked on”, just accept it and shelve it if you absolutely have to.

 

     You can at least say you tried to talk to the lore holder about it, but they didn’t want to cooperate. When you decide to just assume that “magic loophole 1” was left in there on purpose, so you don’t even bother bringing it up, that really fucks the people up who didn’t even mean to put the loophole in there. Maybe it was just a simple typo, or it was something they forgot to remove. Even if those are just shitty excuses, who gives a **** as long as they remove it without hassle? Communication is beyond important, and I think it’s something a lot of the lore team lacks.

 

My final thing.

 

@FlamboyantTyrant

 

Holy **** my dude for the love of god if you say you’re going to edit a comment with why a lore was denied, at a later date, ******* DO IT. I doubt it’s the hardest **** in the world. You set a date for it, you say you’ll do it, and it’s just unprofessional as **** to just leave people hanging like that. If I was a lore writer, I would 100% rather you comment “haha **** you, your lore got denied because you’re an idiot” than 

This Lore has been denied. The reasoning will be edited into this comment within the next handful of hours.

 

Topic moved to Denied Lore forum.”

 

with absolutely no other feedback. Like come on. Come on man. I’ve yelled at you in our friend discord about it, and I’ll put you on blast about it here. Pls stop doing this, or just get someone else to do it for you. It just looks bad and hurts your rep even more. I love you lots, xoxo, I think you do a pretty great job everywhere else. Except for setting dates, but I’d be a hypocrite if I yelled at you for that. Hmu up on discord sometime bb.

 

 

     I apologize for the rant, but it’s been something that I’ve been wanting to say for a while, and I didn’t think a meme post would be appropriate for it. I think Delmo did a really good thing here by making this post, and I hope hope hope that at least some of these comments are read and listened to. I want to see the best for my mineman server, and it’s just shitty to admins, staff, and players alike with all this fighting and bickering. I hope I made my points clear as possible. I also apologize for the shitty paragraph structure, but I was just trying to make this post as easy to read as possible.

Thanks @Abyssus . Really appreciate the heads up on here.

 

Also I do love a public spectacle, please tag me next time. I post on lore because I feel as I can comment on it as a player before I have to put on my “lore writer” cap and then have to review pieces. I de-construct and give feedback during lore-mags against pieces I vote for, contrary to the rumors around how I deal with things. My personal opinion is that I do believe in the said scenario that necromancers are beating a dead horse, and I thought it was a funny gif to post.

 

Yes, I’m a *****. You’ve got me there and I really enjoyed your quote I had a good laugh at it. To the other points, I’m sure Delmo herself can explain better than I can since I’m just a lowly LT pleb.

 

 

edit: also thinking you’d get in trouble for name dropping is probably a bad mentality to have. I’m happy to get named and blasted publically if people think I’m doing the wrong thing

   See, I can understand that, but the bottom line is that you’re staff. No one is going to see your comment as a player made comment. They’re going to see your staff tag, and they’re going to view it as a staff comment. The first thing they’re going to think is “oh ****, a story manager doesn’t like my lore. I’m fucked, my lore is fucked.” Or, alternatively, “oh **** it’s that one *******, **** him.” It’s just unprofessional and demoralizing after working so long on something you think is good.

     Yeah it was pretty funny looking back at it now, but at the time it just really pissed me off. I don’t really have anything personal against you, I just think you act in ways I personally disagree with from a professional standpoint. I doubt you even care, but just thought I may as well throw that out into the air.

 

P.S.

eat **** and die, @Abyssus

So I guess the bidding for Admin has fully kicked off now. Good luck.

I think strives should be made to soft shelf something before you just outright hard shelf something, or at least implement a reason for a magic’s disappearance. In my experience, I’m talking in regards of necromancy. I’m a normal player and couldn’t possibly be expected to rewrite necromancy. I knew it for no more than a few months, but it legitimately became a huge part of my persona’s plot. But because someone else thinks it has some issues, now I lose an essential portion of my character’s roleplay? I would’ve been fine with it not progressing further, or even losing it completely if there was a reason in roleplay, but just ‘poof’ gone? For no credible RP reason (to my knowledge)? You just lose your abilities just cuz
