    wtf staff

    I mostly agree with that sentiment when it comes to that sort of thing. Generally, mercenary companies and such negatively impact the server and are a facet of that OOC NLing issue they tried to crack down on some months ago. Ostensibly they try to be LOTC’s OOC praetorian, and as such habitually flip flop sides. Even if it’s slightly accurate to how real mercenary companies worked I would at least prefer some system that enforces loyalty or neutrality. Ie a mercenary company must wait x amount of conflicts before fighting someone who was previously an ally(unless betrayed or whatever). That or you just completely wipe out the system and get rid of mercenaries, whichever. My only disagreement is that the staff who were present wholly contradicted the current wording of the rules. Violation of rules in spirit, is of course something to consider, but I think that argument has been forfeited when that raid leader asked clarifying questions (several hours in advance) about said rules/planned raid, indicating, whether you disagree with them or not, they were conducted in good faith. As for rules going forward, I agree that they should be amended to discourage OOC entities like mercenaries, after this situation is resolved. I think it’s a bandaid solution and warhawks are still gonna find ways to warhawk(IE members of the rally could have just as easily been peasant larpers, any rules will always be stopgaps), but you’ve gotta try to fix things, right? edit:clarifying questions were asked in advance
  3. Abel mused over the rich color of the flags, mostly, only paying scant attention to the missive. "Huh. Well that's something." he murmured after a brief skimming.

  6. Why do you think Ggt still has not been unbanned?
  7. Evidence? None was provided in the convo. This is a recurring issue on staff’s part.
  8. +1 Staff behavior like this is the only thing that has ever truly prevented me from enjoying the server, the fact that staff are allowed to participate in conflict and simultaneously provide rulings to ban players on opposing factions eternally baffles me. The absolute pre-disposed vitriol the Admin approached you with is disgusting. This is especially disconcerting because you, Swifty_Sam, were a new player on LOTC (and still are just a month or so new as of this post). Edit: Additionally, the fact that an appeal must wait to be submitted many weeks after a potentially unscrupulous ban report is delivered only serves to enable staff to continue to commit potentially corrupt practices. This wouldn’t be a problem if there was ANY semblance of internal accountability among staff, but there is none to be found.
  9. “I can’t believe they freed the prisoner!!!” remarks Ser Feathers. “We will get them next time!!!”
  10. Ser Feathers Mcgraw cackles upon hearing Charles’ words. “FOOLISH senator, this is what happens when you deal with such a MASSIVE volume of Orenian prisoners, perhaps if you took NEARLY as many prisoners, and your own countrymen were not so afraid to enter AIS lands(true story, I once confronted a Curonite so stricken with fear they killed them selves in front of me), then perhaps you too would suffer from success. You see an accidental capture, I see almost 20,000 minas in Orenian ransom money in less than a saint’s week. That’s a lot of trebuchet ammunition.”
  11. “Damn...” remarks Ser Blythe the Beaver.

    Augustus’ grandfather served Augustus d'Amaury under the Lorraines. Augustus’ grandfather used to tell him stories about how he served in the Haensetic footman in the Orenian civil war. Augustus’ grandfather died before the war ended, but not before teaching him some of what he’d learned as a footman(albeit the little he could do given his age). In the interim between his grandfather’s death, Augustus took up farming. One bad harvest, however, left Augustus looking for work to make up for the loss. So, Augustus went to Ves to find work. In Ves, Augustus met a group of soldiers who claimed to have heritage from Lorraine. Since Augustus also had Lothranian blood, and was proud of his heritage because of the values his grandfather instilled in him, he decided to join them.
