Put the Australian on the Hot Seat

[christman 3529]

1st question, as an ancient do you reckon the servers actually is in decline or are people just hyperfixating on the negative 

 

and second, what's your favorite piece of world lore (current or outdated) and what puts it above the rest

 

and third, i hope you have a good new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What has been your favorite community experience on the server?

[Smmer 2441]

do u like me now?

[King_Kunuk 3022]

Genuine real questions, not trolling.

 

If you could begin a completely new eventline based upon this map, or the next; how would you go about starting it and what would you want to see come out of it?

also, if you could grab one lore piece and just outrange fix it/change it (your own objective opinion), what lore pieces would that be and why? (does not need to be magic lore btw. Could be the lore of a major event character, planar lore, etc etc)

what's it like being a teacher in Australia? looking to get into the bidness myself but in a cushy European country

[Turbo_Dog 3567]

I got some questions too

 

1. What in your opinion makes a roleplay encounter fun or memorable?

 

2. What kept you going for so long on this server?

 

3. What would you say to your past self if you went back in time 14 years ago? It can be anything 

 

4. What is your opinion on SLOPFORGING? 
 

5. If you could fix one issue on the server with the snap of your fingers what issue would you pick?

Where do you think you'd be if you never joined LOTC 14 years ago?

[Morigung-oog 5697]

Congratulations on surviving this long and ngl I’m pleasantly surprised your tales are this based.

 

Would you say MA distribution particularly among non-voidal magics has taken  a  turn in recent years and has it affected affected communities positively or negatively?

 

Secondly, if you could void/retcon any large-scale IC event that has shaped the server, which would it be?

it depends on what metric and criteria you’re putting on the idea of a decline. To a lot of people, the server is in decline because of changes in population, perceived roleplay quality and various other lack of things like PvP, autonomy etc. 

I don’t think the server is in a “decline”, it’s just in a different position but fundamentally has the same issues that have plagued it the whole time.

 

I like Cosmic Correction, built a lot of stuff off its foundations.

happy new year Australian hick

It is completely dead. Low Fantasy stocks are at an all time low, but especially with the development of human nations and how they approach things. Low fantasy grimdark realism is something that is not attainable for the near future.

Just really back in my early days when hanging out with the original Marked Men guys and developing the foundations with people like Sode1 and Temp was really important. Also the Mordskov Saga, the team I had with that group were awesome and set up some proper irl friendships.

Would depend on what the server would need for what eventline to create. Any from scratch, I don’t really have a perfect project as I have really done most of the event stuff I’ve wanted to do, especially with the leading of the Inferi eventline and such.

 

I would either revise and change the Four Brothers and the histories around them, making them more realistic and pushing it away from the noobiness of the curses that kinda plagues them. 

OR

100% would revise and dismantle majority of the dragaar to have less of an impact on the server. Most of their origins suck because they were admin OC dragon girls that were terrible.

Decently cushy, they have solid unions and the benefits of holidays and such are pretty good. Paperwork and parent pressures are probably the worst parts of it, especially working with the pressures of the final years and the results required for the rest of their schooling. Also makes it more fun and being able to get into that area fairly early in my career is pretty good. 
 

unsure of the European requirements but if you’re in that Central Europe area (Germany etc) I’ve heard it’s pretty awesome, just gotta have to deal with students with a measured approach. If you enjoy that aspect teaching is a breeze.

1. There’s no real objective thing, it’s ultimately whatever the person gets from an encounter. My biggest thing is just ensuring that the roleplay is not contained in a single bubble and is never spoken about again. Especially with my events, I want to ensure that there is continuity and constant references to what has happened to see the speculation and impact grow. (I occasionally Omni what people do afterwards so sorry in advance).

 

2. The last couple of years I’ve really not done much because of my Timezone and lack of availability to properly roleplay, but I just enjoy this medium and it is an outlet for creative writing that I normally would not be exposed to.

3. Something about staying in school and not being annoying in your last few years because it’s not cool to neglect school.

 

 

4. sometimes not all items need to have an ST sign

 

5. Server culture, if I could change the mentality behind most players I would. Was my golden goal as admin and failed in bringing real change.

Probably exactly where I am right now, just would not have a passion for creative writing like I do now

MA distribution has been a really good thing for most magics, the ability to be able to retrieve magics is so much easier than it used to be and I think the server is so much better for it. Has it improved the communities, not really since the same people who would have got the magic will inevitably end up there.

 

whole travel back to Athera event and specifically Gudours death. Lots of plot holes and annoyances created by that eventline that still frustrates me in my writing today.

presuming it would have to be long-term, would you say there is a solution? if so, what is it?
