I just wish that more RP was done on the RP server, and less PvP.
All war comes down to PvP.
People with poor connections, or the inability to click quickly, will always be steamrolled by the dedicated PvP people.

...and if the RPers are unlucky enough to be the 'losers' of the war, everything they were working for in their towns is liable to get destroyed, changed, or overtaken by the new leadership.
...and ... much like before, people log on long enough to get enough time to participate in Warclaim, and then only show up for said Warclaim.

 

It kind of removes the motivation to spend that much time and Mina on a tile, if somebody can WARCLAIM you, take you to PvP, and destroy you.

...or ... say you WANT to claim a tile, and somebody threatens to Warclaim OOCly just to stop you from claiming said tile O_O

 

I'm here to write, and war on this server makes that kinda' hard.

 

 

 

i get why it has to be done with pvp, but this has always been my issue as well. it doesn’t make sense that a nation might have powerful magic wielders, and would just be blocked out of using them since there’s no way for that to be done in pvp. 

it should be significantly harder for a nation with no magic and no extraordinary means of assault to conquer places with all of those things, but it’s just not. it’s unrealistic, and i’ve never been able to wrap my head around how it’s fair

I hate to have to do this, but, it must be done.

TLDR: I don’t disagree with making attacking easier, but current warclaim mechanics can invalidate defender preparation (like terrain being bypassed), which feels inconsistent.

 

The stance on tunneling has been consistent all the way up to the last warclaim against Urguan. The earliest recount I can offer, is that @ryno2had designed the Grudgeforts V2 with tunneling in mind, and not only built his defenses around it (including a hollow core to bait attackers into a kill room when they thought they had a way in), but even went as far as calculating how many trebuchet shots were required to drill into the center of the fort had Oren decided to do so. In the end, they never made it past Eastfleet. Tunneling was also taken into account for the Almaris city building, as was the Aevos rebuild, but with Cpt_Noobman being our primarily builder, our defenses were lacking. The same goes for Azuras, we tried to keep some amount of difference between the surface and the structures inside the mountain, but without a dedicated PvP defenses builder, our build was mostly made for RP and not survivability. The complaint that tunneling is unfair because it's unrealistic, flies in the face of a good 4+ years of fort and city building that kept it in mind. Why do you think Norland looks like someone dumped a ton of concrete on top of a mountain, and layers over itself multiple times, with multiple moats making it impossible to drill one tunnel straight into their city?

 

The main point of unfairness, is that according to the dwarves in moderation discord, someone decided that the dwarves couldn't build defenses on the outside of their mountain because it was "unlikely and unrealistic" that the Empire would drill through the mountain, then reversed their stance after the fact. (I am not in moderation discord, so apologies for the vague posting, I cannot give you a name.) This wouldn't have mattered, because we had no way of taking out their siege camp anyways, regardless of what defenses we would have put up. As far as making warclaims easier for attackers, Cpt_Noobman came up with a clever building trick to make the entire forts out of wall blocks, making the whole thing unladder-able, which in hindsight, was completely unfair and there was no way that was going to get into the war server, even with Josh's ruling. For what it's worth though, moderation ruling on warclaims have always been inconsistent, the very first warclaim I participated in was Myneboar, and after staff somehow permitted the chandelier's existence, made us occupy the city for 4 hours straight to win the warclaim.

1) If I did not have Aether VIP, I would still have been able to afford this BUT it would massivly hinder My ability to create items in such a short time (14 Edit tokens a week) which i use to sell and make Mina, with the description length I have to describe and make my weapons in RP noticeably more interesting (25 lines of text), while other players can earn the ability to make these weapons given time and RP lessons on how items work...

 

Slightly pay to win, but also, I have gold VIP and am sitting on 70+ Edit tokens. Pair that with the ability to stack items and bulk edit, and I literally could not use edit tokens faster than I'm getting them unless I went out of my way to be inefficient. You're also making a lot of Mina because you're dominating a market that really doesn't exist at the moment, dwarven smithing. You have barely any competition from your peers and dwarven forged items are in extremely high demand, especially in some parts of Idunia. I don't disagree that high amounts of edit tokens and tons of lines of text gets you more attention, but I'd attribute your success to the fact that you're like one of 3 dwarves actually crafting for profit. This is something I've heard ScreamingDingo actually comment on, which I sort of agree with him on. There's not a lot of dwarves or who just craft or mine, like the Mineplenties, every dwarf tends to try to be a hero or iconic, there's too many Buri "Thrice Devoured"s, or Thorin Oakenshields. I myself am guilty of this too. So you are absolutely in an untapped market.

@Two2the which has caused grievances with the dwarven community, leading to him being removed durring the timeframe of the war, which I personally don't think was a bad idea. Even I, when he DM'ed me as i was left out of the warclaim chat, went to troll him, then promptly got called out and threated by staff about my OOC trolling when the counterpoint is not kept the same for others.

 

@Two2themisunderstood you saying that you were going to troll, as you saying the dwarves were going to troll on the scale of Unga Bunga again. Which is why he went the way he did, not because of some personal attack on you. However, two2the was particularly grating during the warclaim and was removed for harassing people for not giving up the war, even as far and coming to the gates of Urguan to emote "Urguan? More like smellguan!" Which, is harmless. He's back in the server now by the way.

3) @Werew0lf is right that the current war claim rules are a problem, but I don't expect them to change. I personally cannot see any good way to change these, as ive stated before, and ill state again ive heard of the Empire complaining in OOC, even doing so much as calling dwarves @Beardicusspedophiles for Unga Bunga, which massively ticked off the Dwarven community and then led to the warclaim getting reduced in price for any number of reasons. The reason presented to me because of egg throwing and trash items in the inventory. the roles of NL is to make the minecraft game fun for everybody and @Papa Rock has tried hard to make it fun.

 

First of all, to spread the rumor that the Empire was calling dwarves pedophiles is outright vile, especially because @Beardicussis right there, you could have asked him. At no point did Werewolf or any Empire player call Beardicuss a pedophile, that was actually the leader of the Snow Elves, Cats(?). And Beardicuss was the only one to be called such, wrongly of course.

 hopefully these don't look as compressed as they do on my phone.

 

Beardicuss being harassed is not what led to the Warclaim getting reduced, and it wasn't "any number of reasons." The Thursday before the field battle, it was decided during the Iron Assembly that because we were so heavily outnumbered and our only winning chances are in siege defenses, that we would be bringing no equipment to the warclaim. The option to forfeit one battle to move into the next was not on the table, nor was it even known that was an option at the time. This is according to the discussion had post war, @Smolas my witness (though she wasn't involved in such, I just mention she was there for that voice chat and can corroborate what I'm saying). The idea to use caveman skins and fill our inventories with garbage was produced last second. I joined the voice chat 30 minutes before warclaim start, to everyone laughing. I was told there was a caveman skin in the voice text channel, and to put it on and name ourselves some variation of Unga or Bunga. In the square of Urguan, someone had filled a double chest with stone weapons, tools, boats and snowballs. The meme-aspect of the war seemed very last minute and band-wagony (I did jump on the bandwagon, I managed to find some videos to fit with my recording in the 30 minutes I had before we were pulled.) The "any number of reasons" you mention is actually just one, the staff got on multiple hours in advance and set up the war server for everyone, the empire got on multiple hours in advance, rallied and geared up, only for us to not only waste their time with a 4 minute warclaim, but give them garbage instead of gear. The warclaim was treated as though we didn't even show up, and they were reimbursed some of the cost for the inconvenience.

 

That's it, they don't care about the skins, I don't know if you noticed but the last two warclaims had an army of Hatsune Miku, Power Rangers, and Simpsons characters, they care about the entire picture added together, which amounts to blatant trolling/throwing. That said, @Papa Rockdid try to make things fun, again nobody seemed to know that forfeiting part of a Warclaim was an option, he was actually so committed to making sure the dwarves had a good time while being beat over the ass with a belt, that he and a few others wrote an entire post about "Clan Unga" which actually came out okay and is a funny read.

6) this one pertains to more of what ive heard from the moment i joind the server until recently when threats of bans were again tossed around and it could come from my American side of my brain but things people say OOC when talking about peoples characters and how they play them (and in this case relations to tragaties in the past of what it appears to relate to to those people) should not play a factor in a ban for peoples personal opinions. and the other sides upset and outrage isnt unjustified either but lets just look at @_Elrith_ for a second. ive seen this persons name alot and ive been told it was a troll in the creation fo the name that oldheads know alot about. ive been told this name is an anagram. i can see it, some people play ignorant and it could be all lies but this dosent set a great precident. If slave RP, Racism and sexism is legal on LOTC then why isnt freedom of thought or sharing that thought. again im american i know this doesn't pertain to the whole world. and i dont think anything should change but thats just where i stand

 

In the same manner as you baselessly claiming that the Empire is all calling the dwarves pedophiles, I find it absolutely vile the lengths you've gone to force a correlation between 1940's Germany and the Empire of Man, and I'm genuinely surprised you haven't been reported for it yet. You've even gone as far as to throw around your own grandparents suffering for extra kudos in your Minecraft arguments, and pressed a moderator on being able to say slurs or continue to make such comparison.

 

Let's go over the facts here, a war of conquest to take over the continent of Azuras, offering terms of settlement which are admittedly not in our favor, is not the same as indiscriminately bombing civilian populaces and putting an entire race into concentration camps with torturous conditions. The dwarves, nor the elves nor orcs, were never subjected to that kind of thing. Let's look over the genocides now, there are multiple dwarves living amongst the human nations, Obok even just got a vassal in Kurai Kuni. You've entered multiple human nations for diplomacy and everyone on your boats were not killed, despite the outstanding order to KOS dwarves (mainly those still loyal to Urguan). Pretty odd for a supposed genocide to feature vassalage and diplomacy. The orcs were spared as they bent the knee, and those who didn't were subsequently warclaimed, so the orcs haven't been ethnically cleansed off of the map. The only genocide I can recall that actually fits the definition, that's happened on Azuras, was the Templars massacring the elves of Haelunor indiscriminately after finding that their NL permitted a darkspawn hideout beneath them, and this was near the start of the map, long before @Werew0lfwas even NL. The wizard hat law existed before this Empire of Man, I believe it was even used in Idunia on Aevos, I've seen parallels drawn between it and branding Jewish folk with the Star of David. For starters, the Wizard Hats aren't stapled or branded into the mages scalp, and they aren't thrown into concentration camps either, the entire point of the wizard hat law is to keep track of who is a mage, because some nations are paranoid about mages, especially Voidal mages. Magic is not an immutable quality either, a voidal mage can entirely opt.to just not register themself and never use their magic in the empire, there is no way to forcibly prove someone is a voidal mage either.

 

The difference between sexism and racism and slavery RP being allowed on the server, and what you've been trying to do, is that you're comparing a player and their character to one of the most evil men in history, mostly because you're upset about the circumstances we're all in, and have gone out of your way to slander them and others in the most egregious, disgusting ways possible, while cherry picking details. Mind you, with zero self awareness (Clan Starbreaker is infamous for ethnically cleansing the Ironborn, whereas the dwarves have genocided many a time and done significantly crueler feats. See the entirety of Clan Ireheart, Irongrinder and Starbreaker for those details. We've literally nuked people before.)

 

As for Elrith, it is 100% an anagram.

 

You were repeatedly told to stop, by staff and by your peers in Urguan discord, and have now made an entire wall of text speaking on Behalf of Urguan, evidently consulting nobody, and making a fool of us. Please, show some restraint.

 

- Good morning! Edit Reece here, forgot to mention that the screenshot above are publicly available in Urguan Discord's general-no-mic, and not leaked from any dms.

WAR

 

 

---

The thing we as humans are all too familiar with. War is a cathartic release of energy when so much tension boils beneath the surface that societies of people have no further method to resolve their issues than the shedding of blood. Talks break down, swords are drawn, and ideologies clash just as much as armies do. We as humans are natural at it. It's what has shaped every society on earth, big or small, whether a humble city-state like Monaco or the modern hegemonies like the United States or Russia. When we look back at the wars that shaped human history, it's easy to view it from a lense which comes from our post-war circumstance. It's easy, for example, to go "Well, it was obvious that the Confederate States were going to lose the American Civil War. They had less than half the industry and population the Union did!" But for the people at the time of these conflicts whether it was the American Civil War, the Unification of the Mali Empire, the Risorgimento, or the Wars of the Roses, the outcomes were all but certain.

 

Uncertainty is something that while in real life we as people tend to want to avoid, in media and literature it's the bread and butter of a good story. Take George R.R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series for example. People who are first time readers (and who have somehow avoided show spoilers) have no idea that the Red Wedding's bound to happen until it does. They have no idea that Stannis Baratheon will lose the Battle of the Blackwater until it happens. Hell, most signs point to Stannis winning the Blackwater without the intervention of Tywin Lannister and the Tyrells.

 

But why am I bringing this up?

 

Lord of the Craft is not a geopol server. It's not a map painter. It's not a Total War game. It is advertised as a Fantasy Roleplay server where on the very front page it proclaims that you can, to quote it directly, "Build your own nation, learn and cast powerful magics - Become a King, an Emperor, a Wizard, or a Warrior. Your path is your own, what will you chose?"

 

For all the jaded veterans like me who have played this server for five, eight, or even ten years, imagine yourself in the shoes of a newcomer to LotC like you once were. Imagine you see that and become filled with the hope of creating your own legacy on the server with your friends and leaving a lasting impact. A lot of what we see in LotC is new players coming in, thinking of starting something up, then quickly becoming discouraged due to how grindy it is to actually create your own nation, or even to keep your group alive without being slaughtered because you refused to conform to the server's primary religion while playing a human. Some of these are community-rooted issues, but to me personally it has to do more with the difficulty of actually getting your boots on the ground.

 

To create a Realm on LotC, it is a whopping 25,000 mina and 40 (if I remember correctly) player signatures. Forgive my language, but what the ****? If I were a new player and I saw those numbers, my hopes of getting a group together to forge my own Kingdom would be immediately shot dead. There is the option of becoming a Settlement (which is still a crazy 10,000 mina and an admittedly more manageable 20 signatures), but playing as a Settlement has a lot of issues with dynamics that I'll dive into in a moment. To get any amount of mina over 5,000, you have to be someone who is wholly dedicated to grinding out mina, selling items, voting, maybe even robbing. What I'm about to say is not at all intended to be a shot at a specific group of people, but most casual roleplayers don't have ten hours a day to hop on a Minecraft server to grind those numbers. Most of the server's demographic are people entering their early to mid 20s, with a good minority group of both teenagers and maturer adults. While I can completely understand a teenager having the free time to grind LotC (I was one of them), people who are older or entering their adulthood just do not have the same time to devote to it. I myself am getting a job and will thus be strangleholded with my time soon enough.

 

Think of it this way: You've just come home from a 9-5 job. You boot up your xbox to play Call of Duty expecting a few hours to chill and blow off some steam. First round you enter, you get bodied 20 times in 2 minutes by the same sweat who's got way too much free time on their hands. This is why they add skill-based matchmaking to these games which, although flawed in its algorithms, is meant to keep the competitives playing against competitives and casuals against casuals. Now obviously LotC isn't in the position to do skill-based matchmaking. You can't just exile the teenagers or no-lifers to their own half of the server where they just grind all day and truthfully, they play their role in the server dynamic, or "ecosystem". I wouldn't want them kicked out anyways. However, recently I have noticed that LotC appeals more to the competitive players than the casuals. Have a 9-5? Well sorry, you've been outpaced by 15 year old Timmy who now has enough mina to wage a death war against you.

 

This has led to an unfortunately predictable cycle. The people who play LotC competitively outpace more casual players; they build the strongest realm, they conquer all the little guys, the biggest realm implodes because the competitive players get bored, repeat. This is not a callout against the Holy Empire of Man. This is simply a cycle that, with almost six years on this server, I've seen happen again and again. So how do we fix it? Simple: Make LotC less grindy. Instead of 20,000 for a Realm and 10,000 for a Settlement, bump it down to 10,000 for a Realm and 5,000 for a Settlement. In conjunction with that, make war costs cheaper. Get rid of the cost per player for individual warclaim types - It's ridiculous. It's only meant to punish big Realms for attacking little guys which, while some may say it's a good thing, it's actually a very very bad thing. All you need is to increase the cost of per-tile travel per-player to say 25 mina and you're good. Furthermore, give Settlements the ability to actually wage wars. I know the point of their existence is that they're meant to be a small Proto-Realm, but if you're worried about Settlements conquering each other, just restrict Settlements specifically from using the Conquest or Subjugation CBs and let them use the Pillage or Raid CBs only.

 

What does this help, I hear you ask? Well for one, it makes it possible for the little guys to fight each other instead of just the big guys fighting big guys or 10 little guys vs 1 big guy. For another, it gives the little guys the opportunity to actually make a server impact instead of being eaten and forgotten within a year. I have always been someone who says that the best wars on LotC are little guy v little guy wars. Avistra v Drusco, aka the Margrave's War which I led and fought in last map, is a prime example of this. Just two communities of roughly equal size (if not one being slightly bigger) just fighting it out. What also made that war fun was its unpredictability. There were times when Avistra had captured the leader of Drusco and if we had managed to hold onto him, we could have won the war. There was a genuine chance for both sides, not just the one. I feel like the current war prices and Realm/Settlement prices just encourage and will continue to encourage big man v little man scenarios, which is predictable and overdone. This isn't a wholesale fix because I'm not an expert. I'm just a dude who wants unpredictable story elements where the ending can surprise me. I've been on the sides where I've won and lost - No matter what side I'm on, no matter who I'm fighting, I can firmly state that predictable conflicts are not fun. 

 

In conclusion, and to the Admins who may or may not bother to read this, just loosen up your grip on the server a little bit. Settlement and Realm bloat fixes itself if you give people the means to fix it; it's a moot argument. Don't be afraid to put the fate of the server in the hands of the casual and competitive players.

Yee man, these days I just rp on my characters and try and chill. I'm not touching the geopol side of this server again, like ever, it's just not worth it, especially when the outcome can already be predicted with the same cycle.

I don't think you're a bad person for what you've typed, I'd like to throw that out there, but you are very quick to jump the gun and escalate on matters without getting your ducks in a row. That's how things like Squakhawks reports became a thing. If from anyone, please take it from me and my experience, that the haphazard posting style and self humiliation posts that have been going around, never get anything done and if anything serve to irreversibly damage your reputation, turning yourself into the subject you mentioned in your reply, that people end up not wanting to interact with. You only get so many chances on LOTC before people write you off as just another screamer.

 

Before you hit enter, you need to be absolutely conscious and sure that everything behind that button is factual to the best of your knowledge, gets the point across, and doesn't linger on any pent up personal feelings unless such feelings are the topic of the reply.

 

As for the other nations and who they condone, it's a tough choice. No matter how much RP.is involved, there will always be an OOC factor which decides whether to stay or rebel, to bend the knee or join the other side's defense effort. I imagine many, like Caurost or Krugmar, didn't want to lose their nation status or their place to RP by taking that bet. Urguan did, because we're prideful, our community would rather dissolve itself than be ruled by any Empire of Man or Orenian Empire, because being subjugated by them would be a mark of shame. They have been our mortal enemy time and time again, map after map. We took that choice, and now we have to deal with the consequences (the meaning of that is still loose among staff, which deserves criticism).

 

I don't know anything about dwarves wanting to post gore stuff, at least, it's the first I'm hearing of it, the only one I know is that Jeebus put a shock photo on his exit post. Lotc can get surprisingly dark though, given we have limb dismemberment, mithril crafting in its entirety, surgical RP,  body horror, and so on, which I can understand if that's off-putting. I personally offer a FTB when installing golem limbs because of the method of installment, because even though I find it neat I know it has made others squeamish. And LOTC did used to be a far more fucked up place, there's a wealth of absurd stories of players pre-arcas doing some really messed up stuff that I genuinely can't mention here, Id say after Squakhawk became admin things really started to clean up (maybe for the better), LOTC tries nowadays to be more appropriate with it's usage of gore or disturbing content . Stuff like Grogg's escapades or even my first dwarf, Swamp Ass, would never be allowed today.

 

But, your reply also doesn't really address any of the toxicity/wrongdoings listed above. You kinda owe the empire folks an apology, at minimum for negligence.

I will from my personal self speak for my actions. 

 

I have quieted down alot on the nazi relations ive made about EoM and after reading alot of Werew0lfs comments in mod channels and his recent forum posts (especially his pk post in respects to what he does to characters who follow his footsteps) do 100% revoke all ive said about his character and many others in their relation to nazi germany. Ive never once said anything about the players themselves and offer the option to show me this and I will then also go out and revoke what ive said about that as well. 

 

When I brought out the jewish german ancestory part it was when the OOC conversation in call about feelings and thought about the server dynamics were threatened and I found it comedic (Dark Humor) in a way that voices be shut down. 

 

Taking charge and leading a group is exhausting. Im finding that out quickly myself with everything that needs to happen behind the scenes and irply as well. And the current empire has been very pleasant to deal with (with the exemptions of a few outlires who more or less seem like trolls) again as much as I have stopped crying wolf myself and have mostly just been teasing or pointing out flaws in current rp standards, I (again as an American who values debate and conversation and freedom of speech) will not advocate for the banning of people for making any correlation and will step in to add to the conversation or topic but not shut it down. These also are not isolated to dwarves in particular. As ive interacted with many communities I hear many communities making corolation even in the human vassals themselves. So for them i do not speak their mind or appologize for them. Since the moment ive joined the server i hear many groups calling it out... i dont believe i heard the same sentiment comming from orc players tho so there is a shoutout.

 

Most of my points were simply mimiking other points ive heard thruout the short time on this server from manny communities. Including their own. My personal frustration is the attempts to shut these conversations down as its more of a closer relationship to me and my feelings on speech.

 

On the other hand you are right I do enjoy role-playing with other communities and have tried diplomacy with others without meeting the same alleged fate as others.

 

I can even relate this to the fun experience I did have in idunia during their st event the lost the city with the only troll being a dwarven player. I came back with a quick retort and we all had fun with it and a good laugh. No feelings hurt, no bad blood.

 

So all in all there is sketchy OOC commentary and outlires in communities who come and stir the pot. But I do not feel it represents the majority... in fact its a small minority who the general public of EoM look down upon. They are simply as some would say the louder voices or more direct with their trolling. Ive heard some unhinged stuff in many VC's usually the common player including myself are off-put by.

 

A simple example being when a single player came into a  EoM VC talking about how they were upset about genocide not being allowed and how the Snelf race wasnt exterminated from them trying to kill off the entire race. I dont remeber who it was but I do remeber the VC going quiet and moving to DM's and a different VC shortly after. Its not that it isnt there. There isnt any way to remove it i believe. Its just not OOCly accepted.

[MrMojoMordor 2412]

okay wtf happened, i thought we were having a discussion about wars & settlements & their mechanical functionality in an RP server?
I like to joke & point out EoM(adunians) going after each group as well, but this is kind of delulu. It's fantasy & barely comparable. Relax. Take it to DMs or something.

I hate LOTC fantasy. I don't hate elves, or even little musins. I hate your characters that are 8 feet tall and have cat-girl figuras. Elrith is evil, and the Empire of Man was made by fascists. I was just following orders. Remember Veletz. Peglegbob isn't a veletzer, we don't claim him. Stop merle acting.

 

The dwarves deserved it for AI slop.

"I don't hate lotc fantasy." proceeds to hate upon fantasy, the thing he volunteered for and judging people for playing a character that can be made after anything since it's all flesh and cadavers. if you seriously targeted the 8ft cat homunculus over a figura, you really got to set your priorities straight.


If you really dislike it there's plenty of slots on srp!
