  1. Thank you Llir for the perspective. I'm not going to totally disagree nor oppose the player conduct, though there is an undeniable problem if you will take a look at the amount of people who share my view. Perhaps there are more who realize this problem and is not responding. I'm gonna be that guy to say that your perspective from the administration varies from ours. No, this is not some place to write a whole redemption story to get unbanned and such I don't complain about. I don't want LOTC to be stupid, I want it to be fair. We want it to be fair. Does the debate, and it's comments, not broadcast a problem to you? I did not make this post because I was upset one of my friends got banned, I am upset that it was unfair and that the server has seen it before many times. It can suck for a player who has enjoyed and participated in what I would not just call a "minecraft server" but a community of friends, characters, stories and progress to be banned over a joke made three years ago. Can we find common ground in that?
  2. That would depend heavily on what rule was broken. Despite that it was 3, 5, or even many more years ago you believe a dumb joke made all that time ago should get somebody banned permanently? Imagine all the dumb shit said in voice chats of warclaim team chats, if all of it was recorded, divided and reported seperately. Yes, the jokes can be pretty dumb but this is where the problem is. What crosses the line? Why can one person make a serious joke and be let off, and others get banned years after for something they pretty much forgot?
  3. I'd say following / not following the table is gonna cause some problems. It's a good table, but the problem remains. Someone makes a joke three years ago and gets banned now, for example. Or somebody slips and makes a joke in general, and then staff are supposed to stick to the table very strictly?
  4. Greetings LOTC. What is the weight of a ban? This is a question I will broaden for the purpose of some observation of what I would say is a problem. What makes a ban against one player weigh more than the other? What decides that one broken rule bans you longer than breaking the other rules, or the others who break the same rule? There are the obvious reasons: What rule was broken, previous bans/warnings, severity of the rulebreak, consequence of the rulebreak and effect on the server and players. There are players amongst our servers who can count on their fingers how many times they have been banned / temp banned for several reasons and then there are the players who haven't been banned at all. And every one in a while, a player may be permanently banned for something they said, did or even joked about several years ago. Maybe no one even noticed that a rule was broken, nobody cared and nobody was offended over the situation, but after years for whatever reason they get a ban for something they may not even remember doing. After years of growth, most people can agree that they have improved as a person. I myself have said some serious things which I am not proud of, and so can most of us. That is not my opinion, that’s fact. Does this make us worthy of a permanent ban? Despite how well you have treated your fellow server members, the respect you’ve shown the staff, the roleplay and the server, you slipped joking about something three years ago and all of a sudden you are not welcome in this community. I will not name any names, but I know a few players who this happened to. Some of you reading this may have friends that do, or it may even have happened to you. While every one of us knows that there are several players who say discriminatory and unjust remarks and flat insults toward other server members, and get left off with a tempban because it was a “heated moment” or whatever other reason. Nonetheless, in my eyes and the eyes of many it does not seem fair in the slightest that a joke in a discord server where everybody was obviously having a laugh and no joke dark humored joke was directed to one specific player can remove someone from the community for good. No, I am not saying that stupid jokes about wrong and discriminatory things should go unpunished and unhandled. There may be instances where the severity is indeed worthy of a permanent ban. A player who did say something years ago should know and be reminded that they did something wrong and that it is unacceptable. But a permanent ban, for a version of a player that in most cases were obviously younger and immature? Because of a joke? Yes, There are bans which are very obviously out of discussion. There can be controversy on what actually fits in this category, but we all have some moral idea of what that could be. (Grooming, pedophilia, sexual harassment, rape encouragement etc.) So excluding the unforgivable, I believe there are moments where the rule breaker can grow, and can get a shot at redemption. Not all severe cases, but some. Most cases, it is also very obvious if there was an intent to discriminate or simply to joke. I suggest some sort of solution to this problem. What is a more fair way of handling this? I propose some sort of punishment timer. From when the rule was broken (depending on what rule was broken), the severity of the punishment varies on how long ago the rule was broken + if they have repeated it / shown no signs of growth in behavior and respect for the rules. This is initially just a thought, and there could be hundreds of ways to solve this problem, maybe it is only a problem in my eyes. So I ask you this, LOTC’s, players and staff, whether you agree or don’t, What do you think? - Zakajaervi “You should take what I say with a pinch of salt” - ArrDee
  5. Bellowing waves of cackles at the manuscripts, scraping them off with blades made from mystical rock. "How grand you little weaklings choose to reap the canonists, but how utterly foolish you are to wage a war on US." [!] Some manuscripts were scrapen off.
  6. This story team member accepts CA's for my atronach army

    I like this story team member. 

  7. Lurins atronach commander read the missive in doubt. "How hopeful. It is almost fictional. Let us see if they respect the accords this time."
  8. [!] Mystic whispers between every raindrop falling from the dark sky offer a shallow and dark response from the abyss of Menhir and dark stone.[!] "Oh how the damned will hunt the fearful. Centuries have we turned fear toward those who prey on the fearful. Centuries, will do it again."
  9. The draconic Master Prometheus read the missive, pleased to have been assisted by the honorable Elathion. "The pest, Florien, did not need to be a vampire to be a monster. His actions told us enough."
  10. [!] A purple glowing hue burnt onto papers writes a missive broadcasted to all of Aevos [!] "Brothers. Soldier. Guardians. Slayers. Constructs. Creations. The Brotherhood Eternal summons you. Our sacred soldiers have been scattered for a while now and the eternal flame has layed dormant since The Great Kiraso and Mother Scribe vanished. But they were not wrong to believe in the nature of our creation. We are purification, and by the great void shall we cleanse the world of what does not belong. With flame and might we will pierce the skulls of the darkspawn filth that plague this land, feeding on the youth of the people who once created us. To the descendants, whether you are elven people or humans of canonism, let our upbringing not strike fear into your hearts but bring you comfort and assistance on our hunt of darkspawn. To the brothers of our lost army, the eternal flame has been reignited. There is a place for you here to rejoin our great purpose. To the constructs of Aveos beyond our path, a place in the path of the eternal flame is now open to you. Atronachs, Creations, Constructs, you are called to join us in. We offer you purpose, leadership and brotherhood. Join us in the eternal hunt of dark-filth, and we will offer you mana, reparations and upgrades accordingly. The Brotherhood Eternal calls you. Seek Master Prometheus in the most serene state of Lurin, and you shall be enlightened." Eternal we fight. Eternal we hunt. [OOC NOTE] Greetings fellow LOTC-ers. To those of you interested in playing Atronachs, The Brotherhood Eternal needs YOU! Message me on discord: Zakajaervi and you can become our next atronach.
  11. [!] A letter was posted and passed out everywhere around all nations with a message to Aevos. [!] “My name is Solomon Obediah. To those that knew me, if you are reading this: I am gone. I have lived a long life as Solomon. Comrade to many, friends to many, brother to two, lover to one. I have spent a long time wondering what I would write as my last message to the world. To those that knew me from serving the ISA, I salute you for keeping your head out of the dirt for this long. The time mourning our empire is long gone and should admittedly be forgotten history. Were you fighting with the kingdom's side of the Acrean war, it is now your right to know that our forces were intentionally discontinued as a deal with the Acrean leadership to keep my son who was leading the Petran army alive after they won the war. Call it selfish, but I was always a man to do anything for my family. To my old friends, do not worry about me. Most of you will agree that I should have been gone very long ago. More wars and battles than we call can count on our fingers. Many who have fought me, tried, and failed. Dwarves, Ferrymen, fellow Heartlanders, Highlanders, Darkspawn, Rustlers, Orcs, Elves. Countless names under my blade. Though I have been untouchable on the field, losing my family has only shown me how vulnerable it has made me. To the world within and beyond my path, let it also be known that Doctor Primrose Gendik is dead. There was a time in Orenia where she had done what she thought was right and this cruel world punished her for it, leaving her with two choices. Die now, or Die later. We together falsified her death so the world would think she was gone. We lived peacefully in Helios together for many years after that happened, even got married and nobody knew. She very badly to see her children, but she couldn't for their safety. If any of her children or grandchildren are reading this, know she loved you more than she loved herself and your names amongst many was uttered in her last words. She saved countless lives, healed countless wounds and she is the reason most of the worlds ancestors could have its grandparents and parents. The world is all the lesser without her, and my drained love for her could never satisfy the debt the world owed to her. The world only needs to know that Solomon Obediah is gone. My life has been harsh, stained with blood, betrayal and darkness. I have little hope of good in people anymore, but my love has taught me that within this shit hole we call a life, there are Sunflowers and Roses that bring joy and hope. I hope the fathers of our future generations learn to raise better men. My road of Swords has been difficult to live, difficult to reminisce, but I sincerely hope some good came out of it." - Solomon Obediah -+- OOC message -+- Closing this chapter of the infamous Solomon Obediah, I have been playing this character for about four years and it has been a lot of great memories, wars, roleplay moments, and making friends. To all of Solomons friends, to all of his enemies, thank you for a nice chapter. - Zakajaervi
  12. The nicest ST. (Confusingly kind.)

  13. After days of wandering, climbing, and searching, a mourning warrior bestows his eyes and precense upon the silver tree. The nearly perfect atmosphere now disturbed by the sound of metal boots crunching onto sand and dry grass. The air- now familiar with the smell of horse and cigarettes from the ancient knight. A neatly wrapped statuette now sits, along with others, at the base of the quaint tree. "Just like mother taught us, Ken. Out of the fossils of every story- new history is written with the ash of fires and the blood of soldiers." The ancient knight stands, and preaches out to noone- or anyone that was listening.
  14. The Brotherhoods Vice Commander, Master Prometheus raises his clawed fist high to the skies, the daemonsteel wings upon his back stretching wide. The violet drake sounded out to the roar of the crowd: "WE ARE PURIFICATION. ETERNAL WE FIGHT, ETERNAL WE HUNT!"
