Reintroducing Conflict & My Next Steps as Admin

[itdontmatta 7192]

 

Hi everyone,

 

Over the past couple of years, the server has had trouble producing a set of conflict rules that would stick. Since the Norland-Oren war, I knew something had to be done. I immediately got to work in revising our ruleset to be more fitting for the server. Through my conversations with players and admins alike, multiple attempts for approval, and ultimately help from members of the community, we’ve been able to produce this ruleset. While it has taken quite some time to get to this point, I am pleased to announce that our war rules are now admin approved and officially able to be used.

With that being said, this is all-encompassing. In this, we’ve defined external and internal conflict. External conflict is what we saw in the Urguan-Oren war. With internal conflict, we’re taking a slightly newer approach. Internal conflict will be remaining entirely internal; thus, allies will not be allowed to join in. Lastly, we’ve upped the cap on wartime raids infinitely. You can now bring as many people as you want to raid during wartime, though for each person over 5, 10, and 20 for lairs, settlements, and nations, the cooldown will subsequently be given an additional 12 hours. Though, this is not the end all be all for internal conflict and raid rules. I plan on keeping internal conflict strictly internal, while also providing alternative routes than the ones we have listed. 

 

I do want to take this chance to thank @Telanir @GMRO @Mio and @FlemishSupremacy for their massive help in writing the war rules, as well as @Llir and @The60th for making warclaims actually work again (18+ TPS with almost 250 players!!). Please give them lots of love and rep.

 

So, what are my next steps as Admin? Soon, I hope to announce news about the update of the infraction system, continued refinement of conflict and raid rules, and internal training system. 

 

Thank you,

OMG this is so epic can't wait to be featured in the next project xxx

 

Special thanks to @FlemishSupremacyand @Mio. Whilst It was started by a few of us, you guys really went the extra step and helped make it a reality with @itdontmatta. Whilst we disagreed a points, I hope it leads to a better future and a community that becomes more mature for conflict. (unlikely)

I won't lie that I'm pleased to see the warrules come into a final state where they are available to all of the server. The additions are good and well thought out. Good job, matta, genuinely. I hope these warrules last, even if there is a change in administration and other staff leadership. Hopefully this puts an end to the era where wars just fail, or the rules have to be revised after every botched war and we're forced out of war for the next few months. With the way things are looking right now, I have faith that era is over, though.

Finally, complete at last. War Rules was a really fun project to be brought into upon joining the Moderation team. It really was a great example of the teamwork that goes on. There was a lot of feedback and opinions accounted for during the creation of these rules which is one factor that I think makes them so great- the involvement players had. There's a lot to be fixed on the server and there's a lot that will be fixed given time. 

p.s. im an idiot
