Teutonic Order's successful siege

[Samson Option 9652]

This post in and of itself will explain the situation that has caused me some frustration, annoyance, and agitation over the 'throne taking' of the Kingdom of Oren and will explain what I wish to convey myself and how I am feeling over this situation.

- Tapped on the Shoulder by Native -

As some and hopefully many have known, I am the Hochmeister (in-character) and Lorewriter of the Teutonic Order. Many have read and played with my character in-game and know that I ensure a fluid, well-written, and interactive roleplay for the players who play with me. Evidence: (http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/9874-the-rise-of-true-rectitude/page__st__0) Native had come to me and relayed an idea whereas the Teutonic Order would besiege AlKhazaar for the third and last time and successfully wrest the throne from RedNinja (King_Edmund_Sheffield)'s hands and impose ourselves as rulers, I would get the throne, and I would see to the organization and Lorewriting for the Human Kingdom in general. He said he would have to give the final go-ahead before this would happen and thus I and my players all waited.

- Turn of Events -

I was revealed by sledder (I believe, or perhaps Tyrion) that Ninja had a completely different idea for the throne, unknown to me and even Native. Ninja would turn Undead, eat his wife, give throne to Iblees and it was up to me and possible others IF they had GOOD RP REASON to do so, thus implanting themselves with Ninja's death to the throne and rule all of Oren. I was very peculiar about this method, but nonetheless, I reckon it would sound good RP, thus I said if Native tells me THAT is the method, than so be it. Sadly my method of learning was not via Native and NOT before the event happened.

- Blasted with Yelling -

I get back from work and curious as to any news from Native or possible other GMs, I get onto Teamspeak while logging into Minecraft and suddenly I am blasted with yelling, the members of my Teutonic Order are yelling at me of the situation that was fully played out without my prior knowledge as I was hoping and thus out of this blind confusion thanks to the planners of said event, I was left in the dark and my men were as well. We got towards the Keep and had the gate shut on us, my men fought off MANY mobs and then an Ascended cheated a glitch in which they can cast out of windows, albeit my position wasnt easily seeable through a window in the Keep. I was lit on fire with a spam wave where I was targeted (I was lit once, tried to back out but clearly saw a line of fire moving in my direction), I lagged due to this and fell off a ledge to my characters felling. However, the Teutonic Order is a Military Order, if I fell and the Monks took me up and rushed me to safety, my ORDENMARSCHALLs (GENERALS) take complete command and we successfully took the throne for the third time and HELD IT.

- Lightning from No PvP? -

'This Kingdom is my Master's Toy' was the words spoken by 'Queen_Cassandra' and then my Sariants were struck by lightning in a PvP Disabled zone inside the Keep when my men had fought off many of the Undead under my OrdenMarschall's command. After our control of the throne room, Dawn had walked up and claimed the throne room, our men were quite confused as to how this was to be and the broadcast, walked out of the keep and had been struck again by lightning in a Pvp Disabled zone.

- Why I will not fight Dawn -

The Dev MrZombez addressed an issue that the GMs were a bit cautious about, yet I swiftly parried it with an explanation. MrZombez claims that he has not seen me in-game thus how can he trust me, after being asked my forum name and got checked for prior bans (which I hold none and gladly gave him a list of all servers I played on). He had to leave shortly thereafter and I addressed the many other GMs in that chat at the time about this point. Dawn runs a bakery and she has from what Ive seen in-game and heard her relate in Teamspeak (not meta, just inform me of how she plays) the chance to simply gain followers and friends in amicable trade and interaction. Whereas I am the near opposite, Hochmeister (Leader) of a secretive Military Order, I made the snarky comparison that I cannot simply walk King's Road and pass out cupcakes if you vote for me type refuting of what was asked. I simply will not fight Dawn knowing that the popularity issue may overrun this Roleplay situation.

~~ Now that Prince Enor has the throne as King Enor, then I am fine with this decision by the GMs.

~~ GMs contacted about the further implications after this situation, this forum post by decision is relegated to simply state the PoV of the Teutonic Order and actual happenings.

Yes, it was a very long 3 days......

[Rakornokorgod 29]

True dat

[--peerless42 59]

Sounds like you got played Gaius.

"~~ Now that Prince Enor has the throne as King Enor, then I am fine with this decision by the GMs."

He was the Heir to the throne, we didn't decide it the RP did

[moondoggy 27]

((to me the T.O. seizing control of the crown would be the much needed non-linear rp that the humans should have in droves but never had. The Oren Guard are mostly in disarray and the King eats the queen...erm...yeah people are going to follow the skull crushing knights from the east. The ones that show the most orc...*clears throat...honorable qualities in resisting the Taint of Iblees.))

[pepethepig 13]

Then pray tell, How can one simply overthrow a queen with no backstory past the fact that he is Heir? I don't think it's that simple. Then again, if there was RP, I'm glad Enor is king, he's a good guy.

[Mirtok 2853]

Dawn was never officially made queen, she was lead up by her supporters in the heat of the moment and sat on the throne. Enor did not have to overthrow anyone for he was already king during this whole debacle.

Things have worked themselves out for the better I hope, the rightful person now sits upon the throne. I would like everyone to know that the order was not making a simple power grab so that we can rule the nation in a police state. We genuinely felt that things were bad and you all must admit that the state of the nation has deteriorated heavily.

We wanted to make a difference so we saw this as a way to really show the nations what we are all about. Unfortunately a political war broke out among all the contesting parties and therefore many images were slandered. The Teutonic order is not a war mongering, power hungry, fighting machine. We are a closely assembled knights that are both skilled fighters but also skilled speakers. We all hope for the best of Oren and I hope the new king can pick up the pieces and fix the disarray.

As of late we have been targeted and attacked continuously by the Undead forces, we are slowly beginning to feel the true power of the Undead. Our presence will have to die down in Oren for the time being as we fight for our very own survival. I beg of the nation of Oren to please rethink how you view us, we are essentially just like you all. Things were said and people died in the name of kingship but that is now over and we would like to leave you all with a memory that we care for your survival and we will not let you crumble.

I think he meant that he was fine with the gm decision to follow the rp and put the actual heir on the throne, ending much of the debate.

[Rakornokorgod 29]

Bump. Would be cool if the people mentioned read this XD

[Akeron 55]

I really want to see the siege happen. You're so incredibly awesome to me OOCly, and I want to see the order progress, but I'm very upset with your actions are ICLY, as I would be forced to be against you since I am a loyalist.

[Hiebe 2493]

This woulda been really good rp and you can still challenge the throne (If you want) Im glad the gms are supporting more rp from the rest of the people. *plans a take over of Dwarf kingdom* lol jk anywho.... gaius is a great guy Im really fond of him. Maybe later on he will take his spot ot he will support the new king I just love these epic rps. And yes a long 3 days of lots of complaining. I still think how you get killed in a no PVP area by spawned lighting from gms was total crap.
