BDanecker 858 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 The Surety of Steel “Ye make meh… Proud. Son.” The flesh that contained the soul of the dwarf Dorimnur Goldhand had failed him. He lay upon a cold, unyielding operating table, surrounded by a rabble of concerned workers at his corporate venture. The last moments prior to the Inferi Veteran’s paraplegic state was filled with the unyielding stand before the peak of drudic magics, a Soul Tree which collapsed trees on both of the warrior’s flanks with unnatural force. The dwed set his jaw, blessed with resolved, as he knew his steel and shield would protect both himself, and the azdrazi he now called friend, against those who had wronged them. Until the stout creature was broken, encased in a crumpled prison of tempered steel. His flesh had served him well in life, filled with passion, splendor, gluttony. He had accomplished a great deal, more than those before him. A simple coal miner turned Yemekar’s Pick, The Forge Lord, the Aurokanar Clan Lord, the Wayfather of Waystone, Owner of Veritas, Drakesmith, holder of the Divine tool The Hammer, communer with gods both scaled and astral, and a great deal many more hidden in the shadows of secrecy; all these ambitions, accolades, accomplishments would end with him upon these final words spoken. The epic of Dorimnur Goldhand would flit the last scrawled page upon that operating table. That which would end however, would be a mere chapter. For dying to win was different than risking death to win, and as the long shadows drew their length and the winds of life rushed from the pale parted lips of the Umgorumm, life would be Eternal for the disciple of Avarice, in an ultimate act of greed. When the dwarf breathed again, the air was the stench of his own steaming heart. Spoiler Hey gamers. This is my goodbye. I didn’t plan on writing this. My recently extremely unjust blacklist at the hands of Squakhawk from ST ores had recently been removed, and with the above story, a lot of RP avenues were about to come my way. However, my main goal on LotC is to provide a good experience with others. I have been a leader of players for the past 3 years I’ve been playing, always creating narratives that they may enjoy. The greatest goal of this endeavor was Runesmithing. After 6 months of work, and jumping through nonsensical hoops and revisions and feedback, Kalehart the ST manager has executively vetoed my rewrite and told me to no longer submit rewrites. The full conversation is as such. Imgur: The magic of the Internet (Here is an additional image of the current climate of ST stance on things.): Imgur: The magic of the Internet I have considered staying on LotC to pursue other things; I’ve enjoyed the past 3 years without Runesmithing, surely I could continue to enjoy it right? The fact of the matter is that I cannot with good conscious contribute in an environment where my creativity, hard work and good will is entirely throw into the garbage by stewards of said environment. I have had around 20 lore pieces submitted, with only 2 pieces, (both aesthetic) accepted. I've dealt with ST telling other players to avoid me due to my blacklist. I've dealt with ST OOCly avoiding RP with me because of my blacklist, dealt with being called "a negative contributor to the crafting and RP scene" by the ST admin, and while most of my gripes come from ST interactions, it is not these that cause me to leave, nor the denial. It is because we all come to LotC to write, but the tools have been taken away from me on account of one man's judgement, on the claims of my work being attrition and too straining on the ST team. Despite being told by various ST that Runesmithing was close to being accepted and that I was close to the finish line, it is all...gone. I promised everyone that I’d get Runesmithing passed eventually; suppose that’ll be the only promise I break. I thank all of those who have wove the innate tapestry of Dorimnur Goldhand with me, and I hope it brought you contentment to experience as it did me. Dorimnur will have vanished after his operation, his fate left unknown to all except his son. I have some ST items to make and some storylines to finish up before the automaton is on indefinite hiatus, so you may be one of the only who will known the true fate of Armakak’s Artificer. The past 3 years have been one hell of a ride. But I can’t keep riding if I’m prevented from sitting. 77 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson 936 Share Posted December 22, 2021 think it's kinda shitty of you to go and out people like that. they're not spiteful, and leaking conversations and stuff sounds quite like you are. understandable to be angry but it's different to air it to the entire server yknow? he was personally reasonable in his delivery (regardless of the result) and i think he deserves some respect for that. plus, if you're gonna say you were unjustly blacklisted from nodes, why don't you tell us WHY that happened? maybe it doesn't reflect that well on you? i wonder 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An understandable complaint. I give no slander nor disrespect to the logs in question, but a situation like this that involves a great deal of the server demands clarity for all to know. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
