[AMA] FOUR YEARS OF FANGLIKE.

[Isvinity 729]

I remember the day I joined LOTC — a cool afternoon in Elvenesse, 2021, and I ran around cluelessly as a pink name until @Unwillinglytook me under their wing. I've oscillated around different communities since then, writing lore, making modpacks, and earning my own share of controversy and drama, and figured with the recent passing of my (give or take) fourth anniversary it was time to finally make one of these.

Favourite memory on LOTC?

 

Favourite roleplay? (with me?)

 

Most impactful character you've had to your IRL perception of things?

 

As a good friend, what constructive criticism could you give me as a person and as a roleplayer?

if there was one rule, policy, system etc, anything or any aspect of the server you could change, what would it be?

• A very early talk my character Kindrel had with the then-leader of Snow Elves which later led to the exodus from Elvenesse and revival of our princedom. It served as the catalyst for much of the community's growth beyond what was, at the time, a stagnated modern elvendom, and more than that is was the first time I truly got to see the cause-effect of LOTC in action, with myself near enough to the center to reap the benefits directly. The very same conversation was later alluded to during her PK scene, which wrapped up her story in a really beautiful and tragic way.
• The Araaloq family dinner with @Unwillingly, @Epistile, and @MunaZaldrizoti.
• The final scene between my Siliti Dahlya and @christman's wight, in which a civil war was brewing amongst darkspawn and the barrowlord gifted something precious to his young friend.
• Last night's roleplay. IYKYK.

That one time that Sachiko straight up murdered a little girl in front of Avagis to gain his approval and he just did the Jeremiah Johnson nod.

Writing Dahlya was awesome and I sorely miss her as a character concept but I think the state of darkspawn politics at the time put me in a poor headspace and sometimes poor company, and I made a lot of choices that lost me friends or otherwise distanced me from people or communities. Since her death I've been able to reconcile with my own behavior and have made a lot of amends, thankfully, but the experience has helped me to be more mindful going forward — my roleplay experience should not come at the expense of others'.

I think digestibility of writing is very important in collaborative writing spaces and while I love your lore pieces, I sometimes think that your emotes are too poetry heavy — I struggle often to understand what exactly you are attempting to convey in your emotes, and you yourself have told me other people feel similarly, so hopefully this isn't too much of a shock!

I've been saying for years that I wish the community would shift to be 18+ not only for the safety of minors and ease of moderation but because LOTC lends itself very well to darker, more mature literary themes that often have to be sanitized for the sake of our younger players.
