If the Empire of Man conquers the world, how should LotC staff engage with it?

Are you not a Story Team member? It should not be surprising to hear that there are entire groups of players giving up due to the incessant onslaught of hate-oriented policies from this Empire. Regardless, how do you think these same people would react to the derogatory, downright meme-ful response of the Staff to the perfectly valid two-cents of an effected player?

 

Let the Empire do what it wants, but don't let the hatred that fuels it's actions seep into OOC. This is when we have a problem, as seen by your response.

 

However, the good amount of meme responses to the valid concerns of players from others tells me we may be too late. I can only hope that this server finds the right path again, because this is not it.

Suppose that the Empire of Man succeeds in conquering the world. Do you think staff should instantly force wars of rebellion? Do you think staff should regulate its control over its vassals? Do you think ST should be encouraged to turn the Emperor into a Dark Lord of the Sith?

 

I personally prefer just the last option (because @Werew0lfas the Lich King would be fun).

I don't think this is a question of if in my opinion, it's more so when, if we look at where things are going right now. I'll say that I've regained a lot of joy I've had in the server by creating a somewhat empire-aligned human character, and not taking things too seriously like I used to, but I do also think that for any server it's not healthy for one group to control everything, because then it's all the same, and it stagnates; it's why some other servers I play have systems in-place to sort of, stop that from happening. I think a staff created evil nation or empire or something to break up the monopoly would be pretty cool to see

I think Story team interfering with roleplay stories done by players is a bad idea mkay.

 

But I do agree to make werew0lf an immortal dark lord lich of pure evil. That sounds badass.

out of character intervention is a fat middlefinger to player ambition, you do this and you're practically telling the whole server that the next big thing after the empire will get punished for balling too hard. it diminishes the irp stakes involved and oh i guess staff will just be allowed to metainfluence nations to an outcome they like. i don't anticipate issues from this at all actually

same thing if dwarves/orc/elves were in the lead, everyone needs to learn to respect a story enough to allow it run its course. this just flirts with a deeply worrying encroachment on player agency.

this basically 

it's not the first time we've had an empire like this in history either, i dont get what the big deal is. There's plenty of places to go and rp that aren't directly under the thumb of WW. The conflict has been fun. Empire building is half the fun of this server.

If staff would enforce rules and systems, there wouldn't even be an empire of man to begin with, so this forum post is a little redundant.

He refers to the second coalition war on the last map, where, by supporting Burgundy and the Church against Haense, we (Urguan) indirectly reformed the empire of man, not that it was Dwarves' war goal, ofc. Noobman was not around for this war, however.
