    An Open Dialogue on One Specific Slur

    Of all the things you could roleplay in the vast fantasy setting of lotc, why would you choose to play a racist? 

     

    Because I am a dwarf nationalist who inhales smog and smoke, and want to turn every tree into a siege weapon, each lake into toxic sludge and have smoggers machines pillow the air in smoke.

     

    The nature loving elves naturally do not like this, thus the consequence is I am racist towards them in roleplay.

    As funny as some Moderators quippy one-liners are, there needs to be some level of public professionalism displayed by ALL staff-members. I believe that would unironically go a far way in improving both the quality of the server and the quality of roleplay.

    Additionally, all staff teams need to stop with the vague rule/lore posting. Don't leave things up for interpretation. Write everything out. The average LoTCer's two braincells can't comprehend anything that isn't spoon-fed to them.


    I think this is too much to ask of people who are staff on this server for free, just doing it out of the passion and like for the server that they are all on.

    Cannot expect public professionalism on what is essentially a minecraft server run by players like the rest of us just doing it out of their hearts.

    I think the global "Group of nations work together" eventlines were super awesome, such as The Dark Harbour eventline on Almaris.

     

    Those were tons of fun and brought completely different rp playerbases together to tackle one enemy, without it having to be the end of map.

     

    And I have noticed an understandable lack of impromptu st events lately, due to what I surmise to be the intense burnout from the end of map Mori stuff.

     

    Overall I still thoroughly enjoy your server Telanir!

    Real life slurs should never be used in an RP server or AT ALL for the matter. Usage of such degrading terms "in taste" is not acceptable. There is no way to do so. Slurs are slurs for a reason, and the fact that this behavior was brushed off in such a manner also makes Moderation look worse than they already do. How can you use a slur "with taste"? By separating yourself from it? Easy for someone to do when they've never had to deal with something of the sort. 

     

    It's ridiculous that this is a "open conversation" instead of it being an important and enforced rule not to use real life slurs in RP. Made up ones that fit the server? Fine. Made up fantasy world, made up people, made up slurs for different races. However, an actual slur that is harmful to a real individual who could have already dealt with this before in their life? Absolutely not.

     

    Why is it that people like this are given safe spaces to makes distasteful comments and get away with it? It's almost like Moderation wants the decline of LoTC and the reasonable side of the player base. The usage of real life slurs should NEVER be a slap on the wrist.

     

    Deflecting or shifting the blame doesn't help either. No side was right when using harmful terms to either person. As the Mod Admin, you should know that placing blame on the opposite is only going to cause more problems. Stop being the fuel to the fire and actually do something to put it out.


    half the irp names you can call dark elves if you specifically wanna be racist to dark elves will have been used IRL in some random ass minor way anyways

    Sigrun 'Dragonslayer' Ireheart grumbled with a harrowed gaze as he held a distorted Nephilim skull in his hands, that of a Templar's trophy.

    "Mist-roidah, yeh fool."

    The skull cracked between the pressure of his gauntlets.

    "Oi'll pay et back, tenfold."

    I like alot of this rewrite, a ton even. There are some points I disagree with and some I feel need more explanation.

    THE GOOD:
     

    Spoiler

    -All of the aesthetics, the white fire especially.

    -The changes to Rumination Reflection, now it fits with the kit.

    -The change from one magic slot to three. (Rip the druid templars, I feel like they should be able to remain though.)

    -Everything I am not putting in the other sections.

    -We now have a drawback.


    I AM A BIT CONFUSED:

     

    Spoiler

    -Sadly, all of the dogma in this current iteration still seems a bit up to interpretation in my opinion.

    -Vigorous Blow.
    With this current range, you explain it as a 'wave', but I am still a bit confused with how that works, can you jump this wave, does this mean if you are in the 4x3 range you are automatically swung by a heavy hammer? Where does it hit? If i Vigorous Blow at your chest, does that mean the heavy hammer swing hits there?
    What does a 'heavy  hammer' mean, a heftier Bob the builder's hammer? A one-handed battle hammer? or a full on warhammer?
    If I have a Carbarum weapon, why would I ever Vigorous Blow at point blank instead of just stabbing them thrice.

    I agree with the over-reliance on Vigorous Blow for Templars, but I feel like nerfing it is justified, but we do not get anything back. I will cover this more on what I dislike.
     


    PERSONALLY, NOT A HUGE FAN.
     

    Spoiler

    -We nerfed Vigorous Blow because of our over-reliance on the spell, which is justified.
    However, in my opinion we relied on it quite a bit because it was our ONLY offensive spell, these changes are nice but now we are lacking a spell that is reliable for one-target attacks.
    I would personally not limit the movement speed whilst charged, and allow us to combo the attack on a singular target, and have them be affected by whatever strength your weapon is, and have the heavy hammer hit afterwards, after your normal attack.
    Now in close up melee range, I would not do anything else then regularly attack, and in groups I would now be a liability due to the Touch of Jophiael. I would like to see an extra offensive option now that Vigorous Blow got nerfed, which I feel would be justified due to the drawback that The ToJ is, and the fact that we now take up three-magic slots.


    -Fervent Flare changes.
    I have never participated in a CRP where Burst Body was overbearing, and overly strong. Nor have I ever heard people complain about it when I CRP'ed with them using it. I do not feel it deserved the huge nerf that is an extra emote-count.

    -Touch of Jophiael.
    I agree with the fact we now have a drawback, however it feels a bit too much for me, especially as someone that often participates in big group CRP's.

    TLDR:
    I do not mind many changes, but with the nerfs I feel as though this makes us a bit too much of a liability in group fights, without enough reward to back it up. Especially since our only offensive option got nerfed, and can now hit allies without us getting a single-target option in return, however I am a huge fan of everything else, especially the new aesthetics, they seem awesome.

    If anyone wants me to elaborate more, feel free to ask in DMs.

    THE BIRTH OF AN HEIR

    in Kingdom of Norland

    Posted

    Sigrun 'Dragonslayer' Ireheart writes a message to the King and Queen of Norland.

    "Dear Balon Eiriksson Ruric and Hilda Eiriksson Ruric, My name is Sigrun 'Dragonslayer' Ireheart, one of Urguan's strongest warriors and courageous fighter. 

    I write to you today, to ask for permission to attend this brawl of yours, as many people around the realm know I have a natural penchant for battle and honourable one-on-one combat. Should I lose, or win, I vow to act honourably and with grace, for I simply wish to attend every fighting tournament around the realm.

    Yet I have been informed by my kin that dwarves of the Clan Ireheart and Frostbeard are now banished from your realm, regardless I would still like to attend.

    I hope you understand my wish for honourable battle, and could give me permission to attend this brawl."

                                                                                                                                                                                         Signed,
