drfate786 1690 Share Posted August 24, 2021 What are your thoughts on the general integrity of Nation Leads, Staff members and in fact, the general community? What do you think could be done to limit or stop dishonesty and the toxic win mentality within the community? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorsand 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2021 by changing the server's target market, which right now is most common denominator. front page says you can be a king, wizard, emporer, or evil villain. it innately inspires ambition from an OOC directive, thus breeding a community from the onset of being aligned with success and championing over your fellow roleplayer for your own sake rather than the story's sake :^0 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no market, we have the community members that we have and we're stuck with them. This mentality of "target audience" is the equivalent to a server-wide eugenics program on a community-wide level. The issue is the mindset the community has and this won't change by changing the "target audience", the only "target audience" we can possibly reach out too outside of the minecraft community are D&D roleplayers (and other roleplayers from even worse communities) which are FAR worse then what we have now. There is no uber community/market that will be our angel of salvation in changing the toxic win mentalities of the server, the real issue is how RP is done and how RP is structured. There's a reason why D&D established it's D20 system and why they elaborated on these systems over the years, it was to stop this exact mentality from happening as well as ceaseless arguments.

Very tired of the dishonesty my man, cut it out and you'll be a better person for it. Edit: This is generally part of the discussion, there's so much dishonesty in this community that I refuse to believe anyone on LoTC is 100% sane IRL. When people lie so much it has a profound impact on mental health. We have to be honest with ourselves and each other, if people in this community can't be honest then they need to quit.
