Can't say that I agree with a chat filter. I understand why, but I think there are other less severe methods to fixing the issue or you could just have nothing, and let these 'children' know that over-swearing is not appreciated in the community. I understand protecting a youngsters innocence, but I'm sure that they've already seen worse

Definitely left-field there, if you’ve logged on in the last few months at all you wouldn’t be parroting the ol’ “community” line. We’re implementing it because we’re a server with a wide age range & we realize the use-cases for the people who requested this change but also the wider community as well. We haven’t had a good filter in a long long time and I’m going to introduce it in stages so that it has minimal impact on ongoing RP. It should be operational by next month but it will be running on the server gathering data starting today/tomorrow.

 

I don’t need to physically log on to know what’s going on in this community.  I still talk to a good chunk of the playerbase and check the forums to stay up to date with ongoing changes.  I am making the case for what people talk to me about, in hopes to get to you and alter your vision for the server (since it’s still pretty much under your direction).  However, I do think that the “if you’ve logged on in the last few months at all you wouldn’t be parroting the ol’ ‘community’ line” is a pretty unfair assertion to make considering you’re only active during school breaks.  Maybe if you were on during the periods in between things would be different.

Talking to people is a good step, one that we both do quite often, but it’s different from the people who are consistently online, the vibe on the game server of the regulars is pretty removed from what you’d see on the forums or in private discords or convos. We both know this, so I think the assessment is unclear especially as it there are many communities on LotC and no one person is connected to all of them.

I’m in discords that are nation-based and always cycling through new people.  The case you’re trying to make for this swear filter is invalid, because you still didn’t gauge any sort of community opinion on it (and seemingly taking no feedback on it).  I don’t need to be lectured on what I’m “seeing” or “not seeing” because you’re not listening to anyone that actually plays on the server.  

 

If the “assessment is unclear,” then refer back to my earlier advice – get some feedback on it.  Are you speaking for the 13 year olds or are you listening to what they have to say on the matter?

I’ve no issue with this so long as it filters out modern-day slurs that have no place being said IC and are unacceptable by community standards OOC. However, the inability for such systems to take context into consideration is very concerning.

Oren is GETTING TOO MODERN! They are acting like its the 17th century! How can we fix this?

 

"Well what if we adapted to the roleplay and helped spur new aspects of it to work with the molding ideas of the playerbase and their ideas to make it better for everyone?"

 

NAHHH FAM WE'S GONNA BAN SWEARS! THATLL FUCKIN TEACH THEM!

 

we’re not the problem here buddy

 

but yhh, the swear filter is a bit annoying, imo should be active only for sexually explicit language, racial slurs, and to **** with ppl in ways that won’t seriously disrupt roleplay (setting “Sutica” to automatically filter to “Helena” would be a good start, and I think you should seriously consider this change.)

I cannot express my hatred for this new chat filter thing. It’s not like the server’s main playerbase is comprised of toddlers. My god.

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.
       
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
