"Lord Temesch! My brother's wife to-be is a witch!" She called out through the Temesch hall as she waved around a flyer towards the Harvest Lord @bickando

"Do you see this?"Valyris questioned towards Abdiel as she held out the paper towards him within her library of her manor. "They made a man with amnesia sign this." @The King Of The Moon

Mariana Antoinette took a sip from her wine after signing the new constitution. Her misty hues glazed out the balcony that overlooked the Temesch throne room out towards the forests of Mardon that stretched for miles. For the first time in many of years, a smile crossed the young teens face. For she held the weight of her legacy overbearing on her shoulders as if it was crushing her from the inside and for once, the weight did not feel like a burden, but something to be empowered by. The Petite Dynastie shall live on, whether she did or not...

“Why is my name on this with Acre having won in totality?” Mariana inquired towards Paul within the halls of Temesch, her brows knitting together. She then reached for a scone at the breakfast table in the parlor. The paper being quickly whisked off by a servant.

“The game changes, a knight has taken a rook. There are only so many pieces left, mayhaps I am to be one of the next… ” Mariana muttered from within the confines of her parlor, knocking over one of the pieces on her board as she watched in waiting for the next pieces to fall.

Valyris Wynasul sipped her tea within the Fi'andria palace after reading over the letter. She placed it on the table to the side and remarked towards her sister, "Quite the turn of events, to success remaining evermore." She placed down the cup of tea next to the letter as her gaze drifted towards the window in a squint. "I do hope they make the right choice." @Eryane

Congrats Rilath! You deserve it

The website prototypes and designs that are in these links are absolutely gorgeous. I hope this post makes it so we can actually finally see the new design implemented. This is something that the players have been asking for since I joined the server in 2019, especially considering how outdated they are. I do hope it gets pushed through.

The Wynasul lifted her glass of wine from the council table to 'clink' the vessel against that of her younger sisters. "For a bright future ahead." She remarked in response, proceeding then to give her well wishes and congratulations to Vyllaenen.

"Simply slander, biased fake news." The Countess of Azor remarked after reading over the publication. She proceeded to toss it into the fire for fuel and her gaze settled out the window of Odessa's home. "It's almost harvest season." She proclaimed at the growing wheat in the fields of Acre.

This is the most blatant case of seeing a target ban I've ever seen from the administration. Time and time again Alex has put target bans on Celia'nor and this was the straw that broke the camels back against someone who has done nothing but foster a community that is founded upon RP and being positive in an otherwise toxic server. Pathetic that even staff admits to this being targeted against Celia'nor and Twi by administration.

What's your favorite niche of RP? High Elven RP Who is someone you admire or look up to on LOTC, whether or not they play anymore? @JuliusAakerlund, is the first person that comes to mind with this question. He was one of the first people that really taught me how to run events and the history of the server when I was new (first couple months of rping). He taught me what it really means to create a story for not only yourself but the players around you. We haven't spoken in forever but he's helped me out a lot with my personal shit IRL and with navigating LOTC. @MongolKhanWhile we did not meet on LOTC, he's one of my best friends and really helped me get into the niche of human rp (on another server) but considering he also played LOTC he gets an honorable mention. @Axelu @Mickaelhz @Werew0lf @Eryane and so many more that I cannot begin to name that were some people I'm very grateful to have met and helped change my perspective on the server. What's your most memorable RP encounter? The events @Malaiseran as Azdromoth and his Azdromoth adjacent interactions were such great events, from his firelands escapades, to sacrificing paladins, they were always stellar events. Though in regards to general interactions @DahStalkerand I's adventures with Caestella and Lhoris. What's your favorite place to RP at? Celia'nor Why do you enjoy the current community you play in? I enjoy storybuilding and narrative changes and that's what Celia'nor provides with a change of pace for players that actually wish to accomplish things that matter and impact other players. Twi does not put any limits on what events I am allowed to run for players and I'm able to create impactful interactions on players. Not only that but I am able to create without limits- fun funky enchantments in my shop, skins galore, little festival builds and interiors all in RP. Not only that but I genuinely enjoy hanging out with all my friends in Celia'nor and I work well with the people on the council and in the court. How has LOTC grown and developed since you first started playing? I have only played for the last three years (since Arcas) and I took a one year gap in that to play on a different server. I think there's more just rose colored glasses that change, fundementally the magic is much more cohesive since Lore Games concluded, the server actually runs, and the plug ins in the past six months alone have improved the server quality so much. Why do you play LOTC? I play LOTC for the DND experience and since then I've made a lot of friends on the server that I stick around to interact with.

"Isn't Lord Komnenos nearing eighty?" The d'Azor Countess inquired within the Palace to those at Princess Vivienna's dinner party.

From the swamps of Almaris, a lone elfess emerged from her cave to check her weekly mail. A smile crossed her decrepit features as she spoke aloud to a conjured raven that was upon her shoulder. "My presence shall be a gift enough." She remarked with a rasp to her voice, then retreating back into her cave shortly after.

definitely, i'd love to see more smaller islands that could be explored and actually have things on them (like the mushroom islands of previous maps)

I think you missed the point of what I said above.

Because this isn't real life and people need time to emote, not all of us have six fingers on each hand and can type a mile a minute

I personally don't think its enough time, writing for some people takes a while especially when it comes to CRP and figuring out a proper response to lets say someone attacking with magic you've never seen before, or if its in the back of the city and someone just happens to stumble across it while running around and its also just weaning off of a nation's quiet hours. Suddenly they cannot join in just because it's been now 15 minutes since its started even if it's been only lets say two or three turns at most of combat. To both of those things that is a heavy risk with attacking people in a city, that's something that should be addressed with rules against stalling rather than a time limit on joining combat. The point of PVP is for it to be over quickly and does not require you to do writing, along with implementation of mechanical aspects of rp servers in general and once a certain amount of people has been reached that you generally in the past have had options to call pvp to prevent more people from joining and it being impossible to finish. I know of many people with writing disabilities or that are not completely fluent in english use this server to get better at learning the language and/or writing and it takes them a while to articulate their words fluently since they are still practicing and learning. Personally, I would suggest to address those concerns a cap on the amount of defenders that can come in after 15 minutes unless it is a raid happening. That way for magics and players that require villainy for their rp (with crp), for example vampires that are required to eat people to play their characters and it has to be emoted, have a fair advantage and it does not feel like it is punishing defenders for help coming their way. For example, let's say there is a newish player on the server and a corcitura decides to target them down an alleyway/road of a city that is frequented. Someone walks by around 15-20 minutes and sees an emote goes "oh no theres a vampire drinking some poor noob", emotes seeing it and isn't stopped as they run away to the bell or aviary 20ish blocks away.They should be allowed to do that. Realistically it could take that new player a few minutes to properly understand how to react to that villainy and respond in crp and that other person also would take a few minutes to rally people. But, in order to ensure that it is fair to the vampire player they should not instantly be rushed by an onslaught of 20 people therefore there is a cap of lets say 5-8 defenders that answer the witness's bell ring or bird to a nearby settlement. Where as if there was quite a few people in the square and they shouted the instance they were attacked, it would make sense that they are able to have an uncapped ammount of defenders. Unless, it is a raid that is going on, it doesn't seem fair to the defenders if there's a raid at lets say midnight and you aren't able to rally as many people in a short amount of time. Therefore you wouldn't have that scenario you mentioned of it being able to be handled in ten minutes and it would take longer. That way it would be much more fair to both crpers and pvpers/raiders alike since that is what these rules are seeking to accomplish in my opinion at least. Especially when it comes to being attacked at off hours

8) When a character leaves a combat scenario they are unable to return until the ongoing combat has been concluded, as agreed by both sides, nor may they leave and rally others to join the combat roleplay they were not otherwise present for. Exceptions can be made to this if both sides agree. These are nonsensical to me especially with the new implementation of aviaries to prevent meta rallying. What happens if you see a group of bandits on the roads and go run to tell your friends in the capital and you have to use a bird with the new aviary plug in to rally other nations to help during raids or warn people there are bandits on the roads? (Especially if for instance lets say you do get locked into combat after they come into the nation somehow at your final emote of the bird). As for the "locked" that is absolutely ridiculous for if youre getting attacked in a nations square where realistically there is a flow of people that would join into defend, especially when there is a good chunk of people that take 5+ minutes to emote a triple appended combat emote. That would result in only to have one turn from each person. I understand about being in the middle of no where if someone comes up, but at that point it would just be blatant meta. If someone is being attacked on a main road or nation capital, then does that mean a stranger cannot come to help? Along with that what about rallying for now uncapped raids to both of these new rules? The word count is quite silly for speech, not sure of the logic on that. As for the rest of the rules, these are quite good especially with the fall damage and mount running distance.
