I truly find it interesting that so much is made in the argument of roleplay over OOC. Whenever I hear such arguments I think back to the wonderful moment when a member of the Admin team threatened other Admins to blackball their agenda if they didn't vote a certain way with regards  to Hauelnor. 

Imagine this:
"I won't vote on your admin Agenda if you vote against me on Haeulnor"

Lol

On an ending note, I believe administration brought up an important issue with the LOTCtm culture.. but banning community leaders without warning isn’t the right solution.

I am of the opinion that community leaders shouldn't be given special dispensations regarding wether they are banned or not. Community leaders are just players like everyone else and they should not be treated any different. You can't, for example, warn an NL after they broke a rule for something you would ban a normal player for. I don't know why NL's seem to be given so many chances and 'talking tos', its stupid and they should be treated like everyone else, a community would find a new leader if their current one gets banned for breaking a rule.

the only NL i've ever seen not lead by OOC was that Savoy Prince (i honestly forgot his name ngl) who deleted his Discord and then immediatley went inactive on lotc and therefore killed Savoy, and i guess Narthok barely used his  discord for Arichsdorf shit either, so.

From my own personal experience with this, I cannot agree more especially with this particular statement that I see you mention a lot throughout the post. Nectorist and I weren't even spoken to at all when the two of us got banned, as well as most of our other leaders in Oren across the board. We just tried to log on and that's how we learned. No communication, nothing. If there was such a high care for "roleplay" over "ooc", I'm not sure why admins are so okay with seeing nations thrown into turmoil over ooc issues because the NL/s broke a rule (or in this case it feels really confusing if Twi even broke a rule(?)) instead of alleviating as much ooc chaos from the community as possible. I also agree that NLs shouldn't receive "special treatment" but they should be spoken to before a ban, or at least to prepare the rest of the community. It is less about the NL, and more about the community that they lead. Whether people like it or not, an NL being banned suddenly does throw a community into chaos and confusion - that's any leader anywhere. 

 

admins please communicate more with NLs in general

 

please let them know your thoughts or if it does come down to it - just help prepare a community for a ban

This is an entirely reasonable take, but if we apply it to the situation at hand we see that Twi and Ryan were mostly banned because they were community leaders. Leading a group that combined makes up near 15% of the server (in terms of activity) is a threatening thing when it comes to wars, and the admins know this. If a random player had made the same supposed threats of destroying nations, then the admins wouldn't have batted an eye because that player doesn't have the individual authority to make it happen. What happened here is that two people with authority made frustrated statements that administration found as a threat, and they acted upon it before even seeing if it would happen or not.

The power to point a mass of people towards a target is a dangerous one, some people don't use it correctly. And frankly, the admins owe none of us anything. As a new player that joined Haelun'or at the start of November, and all the shit I had to deal with? I hope they stick to their guns. lol We'll see in a few days.

I already said a lot around this situation but If there was some attempt of communication towards Twi and monkee- all of these problems could have been avoided. Ban isn’t always the right solution.

 

I resolved my ooc concerns with twi in this way. Not only myself but also other friends of mine. What Twi says is often taken out of context, so ******* many times. It is actually quite funny.

me when the minecraft ban is compared to the amber heard lawsuit, police brutality, the holocaust 

 

I would have no problem with bans for ooc plotting to wreck other ppl's communities, except that the dumb "war admin" fosters these exact players & their mentality and then bans them when they piss him off. at least when mogroka was abusing admin he had an ethos, I can't imagine working with this dude

 

Every one of these nation leaders is just as bad, because the admins have intentionally built a vicious, petty, zero-sum system with no incentives to do anything but rile up your minemen against other minemen forever. Nations barely receive events. There is no opportunity to build anything interesting, because if you do other players will plot against you OOCly and staff will help them take your creation away from you.

 

I think what bothers me the most about this drama is that the ban doesn't help anyone. Twindo was never spoken to about how their behavior was uniquely unacceptable, the haelunorians don't receive any form of apology or closure for the supposed wrongs they suffered. I am one guy with a full time job but it's apparent to me how I would moderate this, at no point did it occur to any of the staff involved to talk to anyone involved

      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!
