Okay, so I've been thinking about this and I believe a solution may be in changing part of Lotc's culture. Now, in LARP culture, there is something known as consent roleplay. One of the key components of consent roleplay is called check-ins. 

 

Basically, when your character and another player's character come into conflict, you should check in with that person OOC later to see if that person is okay. The same should be the case with conflict in LOTC. 

 

"Hey, this is the guy who just robbed you. I wanted to see if you are okay after that." 

 

"I'm fine. I really wanted to be able to roleplay a little more. I felt like you rushed the conflict and then killed me when I wasn't responding fast enough. I can't help being a slow typer."

 

"Man, I'm so sorry about that. I was getting nervous because I know a guard patrol was out, so I felt I needed to get what I could and run before that happened."

 

"That happens. Thanks for apologizing."

 

Boom. Done. Easy. And let's face it. It's the mature and responsible thing to do in a game. 

 

Of course. All we want is for players to be mature and make the wise decision that enhances roleplay. If everyone would do that, that would pretty much be the end of these problems. But for one reason or another, there’s always an immature person that won’t cooperate that way. Maybe they’re one of the younger players who were accepted on this server and don’t understand how this all works, or maybe they just want their daily clicks. 

Whatever the reason, it’s kind of impossible unless everyone you’re rping with are the same people that have learned to be mature over a long period of time. So I think I’m siding with those who say they want to remove crp from banditry to make it more about the roleplay than the items. 

So hello, I’ve had experience with complicated Minecraft roleplay servers before, and while I know most of what to do already, (chat channels, what meta and powergaming is, the wiki aka essays of lore you need to read before doing anything, literally just how to not embaress yourself in roleplay) I have noticed some drama.

As such, I want to tiptoe my way around those landmines of conflict before I actually know what’s going on, and maybe find out what I want my character to be. 

So far, a Human Heartlander named Tal sounds good as far as characters go. Not entirely sure what goals I have for em though. 

I also want to ask what cities/towns would be recommended, but this community seems pretty split on the matter of Llyria right now so uh... 

Any Pointers?
