  1. To be honest, while I do not take much issue with the current system, I preferred when whe had warps that functioned like the boat/carts that teleport you with a countdown.

    Not only are those immersive and aesthetically pleasing they are easy to use and understand for new players.

    Perhaps having boats/carts that lead to the designated places from CT to the main places might be the best solution.

    His right hand reached to unfold the parchment as he leant back in his chair, he read those words in his mind asn tightened his grip onto the parchment.

    Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

             

    Automatons are alchemical-clockwork creatures which can take a variety of shapes and sizes. Automatons are powered by a gearheart, a redstone-steel cog and spring contraption built about a gemstone or piece of graphite, which pumps alchemical life fluid through artificial tubing in the body to the various mechanisms running through the machine. An Automaton will need a greater concentration of tubing and life fluid to areas where strength is exerted, such as the muscles. If this tubing is punctured, the automaton will lose life fluid and functionality. If an automaton loses enough lifefluid which if blood were to kill a human, they too will shut down. Lifefluid also does not clog, requiring emergency repairs to prevent bleeding out. Automatons are also weak at the joints, as these are usually exposed to allow for mobility, however the tubing is tucked inside the frame for protection. The interior of the automaton is built around a mechanical frame which functions much like a skeleton. The automaton may also be fitted with an Obedience vessel, an attachment which includes a small portion of the Masters blood and makes it impossible for the machine to disobey him. If an Automaton is disabled, it may be rebuilt so long as the gearheart is not destroyed. If the gearheart is damaged but salvageable, it would cause memory loss. If the gearheart is destroyed, then the automaton must be remade and would have no memories. Animii may minor overclock for +25% strength and speed for 1 narrative minute, with -50% capacity for two stones hours or major overclock for +50% strength and speed for 25 narrative seconds, being out of commission for 4 stones hours. Overclocking, causes the gearheart to pump faster, and exceeding the safe limits will cause the heart to beat erratically and eventually results in death. Animii start out as mostly blank slates, however crafter may include an in built personality, it still must learn from scratch how to read and write.

     

     

    If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

     

    Aesthetically, Catcher Freebot appears somewhat similar to his brother, Hunter Freebot, designed around mantling the Private Eye archetype of the late Helena - early Providence period from the end of the FA through SA 40. Unlike Hunter, Catcher Freebot is designed with a mechanical stomach concocted from stolen Rylanor-tech which is fitted with alchemical sensors to recognize the presence of alcohol in the system. When ingested, the stomach will slowly burn off the alcoholic beverage while causing an involuntary effect triggered by the obedience vessel depending on the amount of liquor. This effect is essentially intoxication, ranging from mild to extreme. Catcher cannot blackout from liquor consumption, and as a safety feature should he feel immediately threatened the obedience vessel will cease all psychological effects and allow Catcher to function at normal capacity.

    To Zirath, you are my oldest friend, the closest thing I’ve had to a real brother, although it may be impossible. You and I have been through a lot, though we may speak less these days. I still remember the battle of New Esbec, when I found myself fighting off three different MRA agents after you lost your arm. How you went from being that young man to leading an entire settlement of Ker, I will never understand, but you will always be my brother. To you, I leave my old Jaeger headband, as you are the last surviving member of the Jaegers.

    Eventually the letter would arrive at its destination as a postman delivered it to the man.

    Zirath would slowly unfold the letter and his eyes widened as a familiar headband fell upon the pavement of his messy office.

    He recognized it.

    He picked that precious cloth he held dearly into his left hand, the only one that he had left, and placed the parchment of the letter upon the desk as he sat to read it.

     

    His eyes traveled downwards the lower edge by reading those damned words and his eyes seemed to get shinier as the fiery flames of the fireplace accentuated his golden irises.

    The grip upon the headband tightened alongside his jaw as he held those tears back with great and straining effort.

     

    Memories of the adventures together would flow in his mind, their life-threatening missions together, their trainings, their laughs, their disputes, their jokes, their sad moments, their struggles together, their wins and their failures.

    When one of the two needed help they would always be in reach and they would meet nonchalantly after years of no words, like two brothers, like family they would always connect once again, somehow, somewhere.

     

    The salty tear finally slid upon his cheek and fell upon the parchment as he slammed a fist upon his desk out of pure rage, frustration and grief.

    Another dear brother had been lost, the last one that knew who he really was, the last one that knew his humble but memorable origins, he had lost Duncan: Duncan The Fearsome.

     

    "we'll hunt togetha' once again ... brother?"

     

    Spoiler

    i will miss you bro... always homie in the heart

    we have so many good memories together, but we will make new ones

    you are the ones that impacted on zirath's development the most and that frienship surpassed roleplay and became a strong one irl too and you helped me a lot, i consider you a precious friend.

    Maybe i'll try and visit you in summer ;)

    i have much more :)

     

  6. I cannot express my disappointment, i have a lot to say but @Monkee said it 100 times better than I could.

     

    I kept my mouth shut and I didn't complain publicly about this shitshow until now because I thought administration had a tiny bit of COMMON SENSE and  I didn't want to appear as petty, but lately every hope i had has been ruined.


    I'm sorry to be rude but I cannot express it with any other words:

    not only Administration has proven to be incompetent with handling such situations and disputes but it has proven to not consider the playerbase, safety, welfare and integrity at all!

     

    I would like to say a lot more but it's better that i stop here, since the others above said a lot of the things i wanted to say.

    I am so tired i can't even be mad anymore, I'm just greatly disappointed.

    If you really care about the playerbase, CHANGE! And show us that you do!

     

    This said, I hope you are having a good day :) this is nothing personal.

    [!] a parchment would be delivered throughout the Dual Principalities of Fenn and Nor’Asath and beyond

     

    “Dear Citizens,

    I, Zirath Talhoffer R’Ikarth, am pained to announce my departure, after decades, from my position of Prince of Nor’Asath and Prince of Mali’Ker.

     

    Throughout these decades I’ve exponentially grown not only as a leader but as a person.

    I was simply born from a humble family of hunters and throughout my life i did not only participate in the founding of Stygian Hollow under the wing of Vival Velulaei'onn but i founded my own clan, the Clan R’Ikarth,  in honor of my mother Rielle R’Enar,

    I even became Archon of Stygian Hollow, suddenly and unexpectedly entrusted with Vival’s duty after his passing, and brought most of the Mali’Ker under the same city once again with the founding of Nor’Asath as I welcomed them all under my own wing as Prince of Mali’Ker alongside our Fennic allies.

     

    I now approach my first century of life and I would never have foreseen such a future back when I left my simple life of a hunter in the countryside.

    I must admit that I was inexperienced, young and naive in my first years of leadership, but thanks to my Clan’s and Kin’s support I was able to become a respectable leader and Mali’Ker.

    I’ve learnt that leadership skills must be refined like many other arts, years of error and trial, self growth and challenges are needed to truly shine.

    I now speak to all Mali, my kin, my citizens, my soldiers, if you ever aspire to lead your kin you must know that this is a path full of sacrifices, hard decisions, challenges and trials, such as life, you must begin such path with a strong soul and mind as it can truly consume you if walked on it the wrong way and never, never walk alone.

     

    I’ve had no other option but to abdicate as Prince due to my declining mental and physical health, I shall retire and instead focus on leading my Clan, my own family, legacy and heritage for the time being as I believe Nor’Asath deserves a better Leader.

    Although I shall not leave Nor’Asath, as I still have projects to accomplish within these walls.

     

    I announce my trusted Halerir, Netseth Loa’Chil, as the new Prince of Nor’Asath and new Prince of Mali’Ker, he shall bring forth the unity of the Mali’Ker by stepping onto my now former throne.

    I wish all the best for Netseth as I am sure he will be a wonderful and refreshing leader for our thriving community.

     

    My kin, my citizens, my soldiers these were tedious but many fond memories were forged and shaped like a refined blade and I hope you will have fond memories of my ages upon this throne too,

    I still have much more to say but words are not enough to express it all,

    Aheran for staying by my side”

    Holy shit this was a journey

    Back in October, near the end of October to be precise, I not only made the first irl year milestone on LOTC but I was chosen as the new archon of Stygian Hollow.

    I was inexperienced, young and very naive and now that I look back I just think that I could have done better, no, I should have done better.

    I built most of Stygian Hollow back then, I was only a builder for the city then was accepted in the council, and I was inexperienced in building big projects, let’s just say Stygian was a hell to navigate and role-play into because of MY mistakes and inexperience and I’m sorry for that.

    I was left with a community that was thought long gone, when I stepped up I was left with nothing, not many believed I could do anything with Stygian nor that I could bring people back in.

    I got many people that told me I couldn’t do anything, many people, even close friends, went behind my back and told how incapable I was.

    I was left with a rough start, not many high hopes, but back then I was strong willed and I wanted to prove these people wrong and especially leave something for a new leader to come in without having to struggle once again.

    But hey, look how far I’ve gone, not only did I bring people back in Stygian but I even made many accomplishments and even gave a new city for the dark elves that was finally under an elven leadership.

    The build is one of my proudest projects and I cannot thank enough all the builders that took part in it and helped me. After Stygian Hollow I knew what was good and what was not good in a build, it was pretty much the proof of how I grew throughout the months.

     

    Although many try to change my mind, I still think I was not a good leader, I was not present among you all as I should have been and when hard decisions came my way I always stumbled, I simply do not feel like a capable leader.

    I was not made to be a leader, nor do I think I was or will ever be fit for such position, I am just too sentimental, too insecure and too gentle.

    I should have been harsher with some people, i should have had a stronger character.

    I just hope I accomplished my main goal: giving the dark elven community a strong base to build back up again.

    The main purpose of Nor’Asath was this, building a strong pillar for the new leaders and players to rebuild a strong community on.

     

    Lately I have been absent as I have exams approaching, school is stressing me out and I’m sure it will be like this until exams finally arrive.

    My mental health has never been stable and the pressure from school and leadership combined didn’t help me recover, slowly LOTC transformed itself from a place I found comfort in into something that just worsened my conditions.

    I was hesitant, I didn’t want to leave my position because I still have much to do, I thought I would ruin everything after my struggles and progress, I didn’t want people to remember me as someone that just left when a leading figure was needed the most.

    Although friends did make me notice how I was slowly tearing myself up with all of this, so I came to the conclusion that it is not better only for me but for the community itself to have a more stable and capable leader.

    I did my best until now and I hope you do not forget all the progress we accomplished together, do not let all of this go to waste.

    I am very sad to leave, but this is for the best.

     

    As I say this I trust @ColonelKuehl1 once again to be leader, as he did and still does a lot alongside me for the community, I simply think that this is the best option for all of us.

     

    Don’t come to me with the argument “it’s just mineman” yes the game might be a block game but I want you to consider that the people you interact and play with are real people with emotions, problems, stories and lives so building a community that keeps people engaged and interested is not easy and after all, I am a person too.

    Before I became leader I thought it was easy, I asked to myself why leaders left their positions even when everything was going greatly. Oh my was I wrong, keeping a community active is not only tedious but stressing and tiring but I must admit that I had lots of fun.

    I do have to say that lately LOTC has been... disappointing to say the least... but we shall not stain this post with negativity as it is meant to be a positive goodbye to you all! I’ll keep my mouth shut (unless I want this post to be taken down!)

     

    To be honest I feel quite lost as of now, but I am sure I will find something to do. Thanks to this year and a half on LOTC I’ve met people that I consider truly my friends, that helped me in every way shape or form and that were by my side when things got rough.

    I especially thank @Monkee for giving us the chance to to grow once again,

    I give many thanks to like the council that remained by my side all this time and the citizens that support us.

    I give lots of hugs to @Phersades (yes you, **** you<3), @HIGH_FIRE and @Robin01_boy (you are two motherfuckers, you deserve slaps and lots of love), @PrinceJose270 (we have known each other for a short time but you helped me a lot), @Disklexia (haha.... ) and ofc @Kumoko600 (would be dead without you) and @Jagdkatzchen (ROOMBLIN!)

     

    I will take some time off LOTC (probably? Yes, no? Idk) but I’ll be around, just less often

     if you wanna talk, play, roleplay dm me.

    I’m sure I won’t be missed, not that much, just don’t forget that I existed at some point…

     

  8. The dark elf would receive the invitation as soon as it was sent, upon reading he nodded approvingly with a smile hidden under his mustache

    "A great thing an' notice during these troubling toimes, perhaps we may enjoy ourselves when we can" he would then place the invitation upon his desk and gazed out of the window "congratulations, Vytrek"
