Atthil Frostbeard who remained uninformed on political matters, scratched his bearded chin "Oi wondah wot this is about..." he turned then towards the tavern to ask about the political message & its meaning.

Atthil Frostbeard drank the moonshine he had made in his bathtub earlier that day - "These wee folk sure are strict with their regulations"
SpoilerI love this, it made me chuckle. Kudos to the halfling health department!

I could not hold my laughter whilst reading this.
It's so well written as well! Kudos to you
Finally a pompous noble character, and not the usual "virtous, holy & forgiving" knights of justice we have an abundance of.5 -

Wish you all the best fawny.
A lil passive aggressive imo.
Many people have their ups & downs with lotc,
Coming and leaving as they please- some just don't know if it will be their last time leaving or not.
I agree it can be a bit much since I have noticed some people posting about leaving and then coming back only to be thrice more active- but unnecessary to dismiss their goodbye
Just disregard their post5 -

Those are only some of the reasons why I am leaving this server.
Reasons for leaving and server issues are misplaced if vented here.
And while I hope you come to enjoy lotc again, this is a dnd post.
I do think an LOTC adaptation should be set during the time of some of the most well known conflicts.
I often hear of the War of two Emperors for example, and I think placing your story during this time HOWEVER focusing on other RICH aspects of LOTC would be cool.
Its like this memorable and world changing conflict going on, but your story is focused on other characters (preferably not humans to enhance the fantasy feel) and their own issues and challenges - the major conflict being a relatively far away issue.4 -

How come are people able to be "passive aggressive" by spam commenting that it's "trans visibility day" while if someone were to comment "Happy Easter" on the trans post it would be seen as "passive aggressive"? I'm just confused
And frankly, cringing at the people commenting about the trans day.
It's not a holiday battle or something.
Happy Easter folks

I'm fairly sure if you try to evict vassals they have a window where they can refuse eviction and declare rebellion.
Yes you can do that, which I think is a great addition.
I meant more so in the way that, if you live in x nation and try to rally people to your cause and the PRO doesn't like that, he can make you homeless. And who ever supports you.
Obv this would be super toxic and im not certain if it has been done before.
Just highlighting how much a NL has absolute power over his kingdom, and doesn't have to change if he doesn't want to.
If you have gotten to the point of vassalship then and only then you have a real chance at changing a nation through force.1 -
There is a very cool exchange happening here; I hope more players come across this post. Now to give my two cents on the post in general, I don't believe it to be fair for a nation to occupy one niche and for it not to be available for "an alternative" to be created. Yes, if multiples of the same niche are created, then the niche is overused and boring and leads to a dispersed player base.
However, "Inheriting nations" or rising through its ranks can and oftentimes are unrealistic.
If I had a Cossack Raev group that wanted to delve into "low-fantasy Slavic medieval RP" as you described Haense, we couldn't do so unless the group molded to the RP Haense has. You say nations should be inherited, and that players should change nations from within if they enjoy said nation's niche instead of going off re-creating a similar niche and diluting the player base.
I believe this is unrealistic. Cliques and Redtape are in the way.
Cliques are a part of human relationships, afaik. But to change your/a nation, you really have to be the NL or be friends with the NL, considering a PRO is the God-Emperor within his tiles. And to get to these leadership cliques for a nation to get new ideas can take an IRL year if it ever happens at all; why wait so long when you can spawn your Slavic nation next to Haense.
Red tape, rules, and whatnot, again PROship. You can't easily coup a nation or force the king's hand through threats of force. To have a revolution (which I think was a great warclaim addition, thank you mods), you must have a tile within a nation, so if you have any PvP-centered players within your Cossack group, why would the king risk giving you any land?
At the end of the day, people don't like their nations changed, even if it's completely good faith RP. You have a legitimate protests/riots against the current king? He doesn't fear for his life; he can log out.
You storm the castle and kill royals your characters deem corrupt? They don't want to PK.
You get elected into the Duma and wish to pass land reforms with the people's consent? Doesn't matter if every persona beside the king agrees with you.
The king won't give in. He'll evict you if you keep stirring trouble.
There are no consequences that players HAVE to admit to outside of the warclaim rules. Not even good faith change to your nation.
And who would even define if a niche is taken?
An exact copy of Balian could pull 100 things out of their ass and claim it makes them different.
Or a nation with a different niche than Balian could be denied their nationhood on the grounds its "close enough"
I know I'm not offering a solution to these issues, and this whole thing was a disorganized rant. I simply believe the status quo works better than having a restraint on niches.

Atthil Frostbeard, upon hearing of the Grand King's passing, immediately began to spread false anti-ireheart rumors--
"Oi hear tha' Irehear' regent will stay in poweh... for life" he commented to the lad nearest to him in the tavern.5 -
Antonius 'the party-pooper' tapped his chin "Technically... they are home." he stated, before pushing his spectacles up his nose.

A year through already...
First of all: darn that went fast, a year on LOTC is truly shorter than you'd say, albeit I've played way too many characters, it's been a fun route. Loads of good RP, met fun people, definetily had some mess-ups and a ban through the way for a month or so, but that doesn't ruin it! Two humans, a dwarf and an elf further and we're here, almost back at the rp I started with...
Merlan Oldrock - Blew himself up, gunpowder isn't an alchemical herb? I think different!
Thelgrud Mossborn - May the dwarf rest in peace, drowned in quicksand, proud of his son in the Khaz'az'dendrumm
Talinya Blackroot - Not exactly a PK, but on her hiatus as epiphyte in the middle of the forest somewhere
Alastar Oldrock, Alastar Volkov, Vamir, The Mentor - I gave this lad many names and I regret a load of stuff I did with the poor lad, aside from that: I'm a ghost I'm a ghost I'm a ghosty ghosty ghost
I think that sums up everyone I've played, apart from an Oldrock whose name I forgot, died on his first day alive.
To _GreyW0lf, _RoyalCrafter_, Musashi81004, Bird5k, Xein000, SharpString and Heart_Spam specifically: Thank you for the grand amount of rp, I loved every second of RP I had with you lads and am I looking forward to the future RP coming!
With the preaching, thanks and summing done, thank you LOTC for granting me this beautiful addition to my life, and Ask Me Anything!
1. It seems you have been able to play a few races your first year.....
Which do you find more interesting thus far?
2. How easily were you able to make friends, or was it difficult when you first joined?
3. What do you think of the current warclaim if you have partaken in it or even heard of it. (Vague question ik)
In general, does the conflict look fun from an outsider or IS it fun if you are involved.

Not part of this community, but I must say I really love this format. With the faces of the characters and the minecraft items over positions and such.

Antonius sneered upon reading the agreement "A plot by the Ferrymen to slither their way out of Canondoms wrath oncemore- and supported by a Canonist nation, Godan no..." he shook a wrinkled fist at the sky "I pray; the Ferrymen convert and face justice! Or this attempt to escape is thwarted by your righteous fury o' Godan"

"The Alstionite dynasty gets insulted and crossed time and time again, and its only response is a feeble slap on the wrist. The lands of Stassion should be burned and salted for their crimes against Canondom!" Antonius, Balianite peasant shouted upon being told of the missive.
