I think you're just blending ooc/ic - it's best to dissociate /your/ predispositions from your character's - unless ofcourse someone is being unnecessarily inappropriate for the sake of it -
Having a go at the 4.0 tutorial area that will familiarize whitelist and greylist players of the server's features, rules and FAQ's. www.Livestream.com/shiftnative

Livestreaming tonight while I start building the 4.0 tutorial area, come hang out and help shape what every player will encounter upon log-in (6-8pm cst)

Looking for a few more builders for 4.0, mostly just for tree-planting and details - PM me!

Your View: Protagonist Proposition
shiftnative replied to Alan's topic in News & Announcements Archive
I think that an officialized (especially out-of-character) protagonist is more often than not detrimental, even if the intentions are great. I love protagonist groups but i feel as-though they should be created and orchestrated in-character or predispositions will more often then not arise. Basically, stay away from ooc and convince peoples' characters, not them! -
Lots of headway on 4.0 recnetly, we've got over 80 people whitelisted and I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel - 4.0 update #4 within the day or two.

Hey man, I'm definitely game! Matt asked me if he could make this thread and I thought it was a great idea, he took initiative and sought me out - which I commend him for!

That 2nd screenshot is already apart of the 4.0 mainroad, we opt'd for gravel so that the road could be worked on and turn to stone over the first few weeks, by hiring players to fill it with stone and cobble - If we'd rather start with this done ahead of time, I'm game.
-
Still looking for more 4.0 builders, we need details made like animal dens, old grave sites, old mine shafts, berry bushes, ancient alters & etc. PM ME!

Just whitelisted a handful of 4.0 builders,

I'm not going to act like raiding isn't going to be allowed because frankly, that's too much to try and mediate - as-long as there is a proper IC consequence for victimizing a group or slaying players repeatedly then it shouldn't be a huge issue. Trying to limit raids through rules just seems impractical to me and either way, the options listed would most likely be much easier to stomach than getting your entire settlement ripped out from under you.

Yeah, we want to do this to some extent - but need to wait and see how many players they have at the start before determining the requirement - so you're on point
-
Aye, we may have it so when VIP's join plots, they require less players to protect them - but there's been talk of small plots in the minecraft terrain as-well - what do you think? Nay, you won't need to be a VIP to claim any of these predetermined plots Thanks & surely, I'll add it to the original post

4.0 #3 is here, who will be the first to comment...?
-
Sorry about the wait on the 4.0 update #3 - I've got it posted in the GM forum, just giving it some time for others to add tid-bits. love joo

4.0 Update #3 Hey again LoTC, I want to talk about what 4.0 means, a few ways it changes the game and why we've chosen these changes. 1. Infrastructure When deciding about what to do with regions and land-claim it became clear that there are more than a few different ways to play Lord of The Craft. We thought it was important to try and cater to as many of those play styles as possible and I'll explain which ones' I think we've catered too and how. Every biome in the world-painted side of the map will have it's own "neutral" region. These regions will protect the terrain inside of them and will allow us to add specific region "flags" to the region. Within each of these biomes, there will be a handful of smaller regions made that are for players to claim. They'll vary considerably in size and each biome will have as many as can fit comfortably. Which brings us to our first play style, a) Land Obtained through adventure/conquest b) Land Obtained through diplomacy c) Free Land Here's a ROUGH look at how the regions will be set up. (Orange borders are the biome regions, black circles are claim-able plots with the required amount of players to protect.) (The map is currently 70% complete but 5-8 builders have recently been added!) 2. War 3. Plugins 4. Tutorial Area 5. Lore & Server Promotion Remember to promote the server!
-
4.0 update #3 later today, this third post will have lots more information about changes and the theory behind them - woot woot!
-
Enough so that the other player you're engaging with, knows that your character seeks to engage in combat with them. "Minas or die." shouldn't be against the rules, there just needs to be consequence in-character for doing so.

Looking for more builders for 4.0, especially detail-oriented builders who can make biomes come alive. PM me with your ideas, thank ya!

How To Fix The Pvp Problem
shiftnative replied to Aislin's topic in Thales and the Fringe Roleplay Archive
Very right on many points, I look forward to seeing them through - I'm not sure how many of these changes can be made now but many of these suggestions coincide with 4.0 and it's preparation. So good on you bru, hopefully we can all get back to making this place more cohesive. -
For those who haven't seen this, i've been working with the media team to recap the servers lore for 4.0 http://i.imgur.com/0Xwo0Bs.jpg
-
Have an idea for a diverse biome? Unique ruin? PM me with all your plans & concept art and maybe i'll bring you onto 4.0 to build. The more information you give me about your build the better chances you'll have of being picked!
-
A rough draft I made a few weeks ago for artwork, lore and a video which we hope to have for 4.0 http://i.imgur.com/XsrW1Eg.jpg

While that certainly is a possibility, I don't think that was the nature of Goldrim's post. LoTC should be considered and treated as a business, we're just working on a product we can stand behind before promoting it!
-
The server is doing fine in-terms of funds and we we're working hard to ensure that 4.0 is something we can be glad to promote, you'll see a handful of videos and livestreams over the next two months or so that should hopefully show you that we are passionate, willing and thoughtful. Rittsy has been reminding the techies frequently to work on new donation perks to coincide with the 4.0 world and the plugins that go along with it. I'll do my very best to be in the limelight as often as I can and I'll definitely have some 4.0 livestream's over the next week or two - I really want to be the the guy each and everyone looks to, It's just difficult when you've got basically two games to juggle. Either way, challenge accepted !
