  2. Pretty neat,

     

    I am looking forward to working with Administration to continue to push out improvements on the Moderation team, focusing on team transparency with the community, pushing out our long awaited rule rewrites among all the other projects we have been working on these past months. In the coming week there will be a moderation team update with more details and how the team will operate within the community moving forward.

     

    On that note, I will be returning to my seat as the Ex-GM Team Chairman.

    Alas, I was only King, and not Emperor. But I would be in that spot between Sigismund and William. Lovely timeline though, really puts things into perspective! +2

     

    I believe Scipp3r has timelines like that in the works as well. Something to be excited for.

    8.0 won’t help either, the map is rushed and unfinished. There’s a lack of event sites and without enough builders (such as me) to help it will be quite lacking on launch, this cannot occur as that combined with a lack of player conflict will lead to players having nothing to do on launch. Fix the server or face Darwin’s law.


     No comment on the first part, decent take on the situation. Second part should just be considered shitposting, map very cute lots of grass blocks and sand. There is also terra-cotta. How could it be rushed and unfinished. Only finished maps have terra-cotta.

    Only giving one nation slot for the elves is a really bad take, and we say this as the representative of the nation who’s getting the spot.

     

    RPly it makes very little sense for the dark elves, high elves and snow elves to magically want to live with the Wood Elves & Almenodrim all of a sudden, and there are unresolved tensions in RP that would make things very chaotic. We may all have pointed ears & have the same racial curse but in function, the Elves have been 4 different races for years, with incredibly different cultures & political leanings. Furthermore our architecture styles are so massively different: How will we incorporate high elf silver towers, wood elf primal forests, dark elf fungus caves and a snow elven ARCTIC TUNDRA in tile? By biology/worldbuilding alone it already makes no sense.

     

    While I think it is possible for the elves to be united again by some sort of political confederation some day, forcing us all into one city OOCly is a very bad look and I hope the admins reconsider.

     

    Well, there are two primary Elven groups = Aegrothond and the Highelves. Plus Druids are primarily made up of Elves. In addition to that, more groups will have the ability to get land, it just will not be part of the prebuild proncess. As well as with more land being given to the prebuild nations, they will have to ability to bring other groups along with them.

  6. The Imperial Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mane, counts the war bond receipts quietly in his office, “two to the war, one for me, two for the war one for me” he mutters has he separates the war bonds and puts a few in his pocket. Just for safe keeping of course.

  7. Whats one more gonna hurt?

     

    On the eve of election night, rats emerge from the sewers of Helena gathering together in groups, each with a parcel tied to their tail. Making quite a ruckus they are quickly chased away by guards of the Imperial State Army.

     

    See the source image

     

    Behind them, they leave notes with rough scribblings on them, it appears to be some sort of campaign tactic by Gustav Ratmane. The notes read:

    Gustav Mane, Ratmane as they call him, was once a man of the people. Rising up as a commoner to be the first to earn the seat of Mayor of Helena as a commoner with nothing to his name but his hard work and Imperial attitude. Those who were around back then think back to the days of Gustav’s barber shop which he continued to operate during his tenure as mayor. Such a hard worker, there is no way he has changed.

  9. Turns to the next page, Mr. Mane is delighted to have a source of news once more in the Empire since his beloved Grape Vine was pushed out of the Capital. So many articles and information! He turns to the world section and notices the interview with Elendil.. “More nonsense about a supposed deficit I see...” the Secretary of the Treasury mutters.. He turns to the next page and resumes excitement on the topic of Legal Death.

  10. Gustav Ratmane, seasoned Gunner of the 2nd Brigade, had not attended training prior to the operation, he had not operated siege equipment since the battle at Mohk Uruk over two decades ago.. He did not know Vitaly Valic, but what Gustav remembered of the battle was that at one point, one of his rats chewed the rope setting off the trebuchet. In that moment he looked around, his superiors had not realized his misfire.. so he began to load up another shot and carry on with the siege.

    I. Introduction

     

    Mane & Associates was established in the year 1759 with their current base of operations being held in the canals of Helena. Their primary business venture involves the production, distribution, and promotion of Kelp products and utilization. The Mane’s first business venture involved the operation of Helena’s first barbershop owned by Gustav Mane. Gustav’s Hair Cutlery had been profitable until Gustav was forced to close due to financial hardships during the war. The Mane family discovered that their specialty made shears for hair cutlery worked tremendously in the harvesting of Kelp, because of this, Theodore Mane, Gustav’s younger brother, decided to form Mane & Associates along with his business partner, [REDACTED].
