    All good! Seer is fine imo since it could open the doors to many things and idm the orc strength thing, it's moreso a suggestion since other CAs do have crazy ways to achieve orc strength, if not better. I would say the CA is somewhat more balanced than many regardless of the passive strength.

     

    Good job with it and thank you for listening to my suggestion!


    I don’t personally see an issue with orc strength either, especially considering Orcs can be Zar’akal. If we were talking Olog+ strength I might get it but hey it is what it is I guess.

     

    We understand not everyone feels the same way, so we’re open to feedback and whatnot. We’ll see how other community members and the LT feel and hopefully find something that works.

    I'm pretty sure it was incompatible due to previous zar'akal taking all the slots. Otherwise their incompatibility(alongisde the one of the Zar'ei) made little to no sense.

     

    Also, on a side note @Unwillinglywhilst other CAs don't have orc strength, some of them do have other means to gather such, like the olog/form of the azdrazi, their wights with their bullshit and so on

     If you really want to change it with the average and ever seen peak strength, perhaps i'd suggest to an ability to muster some raw strength that goes beyond the peak strength, reaching the orc one.


    You are indeed correct, that is why Seer was listed as compatible in this submission. We’re looking into it to make sure there’s no other compatibility issues beyond just slots. 
     

    Physical strength is something on the list of things to see if we can tweak to make it work more efficiently and be more consistent with similar lore pieces so we’ll def take a look into what you mention 🫡

    Hi, yeah, I was the one who oversaw the situation leading up to your ban

    Since acquiring Epiphyte at roughly the end of 2021, it's been an ongoing issue with the team of you attempting to circumvent this non-reversible CA by either ST shopping, asking for your app to be hidden, or attempting to acquire other incompatible CAs, which you admitted to in our forum DMs after I informed you that I mistakenly accepted your (incompatible) corcitura CA.

    You directly stated in DMs that you'd continue to ignore the CA and would accept a lore-infraction if it means you get to avoid the CA. It was only because of this that a mod was contacted, because accepting a lore-infraction isn't a trade for the CA. This is why a ban was pursued on top of a lore infraction. 

    Furthermore, in the mod's DMs, you stated that you're willing to accept any bans that would come as a result of your uncooperation. You were absolutely informed that you would be banned.

    This might sound harsh, but this is not a "I'm being harassed, I'm the victim," situation. This is a, "I just don't want to," situation.

    You were very well aware that there would be further punishment to you refusing to cooperate, yet, you still chose to take the ban and infraction, still chose to play the victim and furthermore chose to try to convince people that it's somehow unjustified. There is not a single alternate reality where we could've done anything else to warn you that there would be a further punishment, because you had everything leading up to your ban coming. 

    I get that it's easy to get attached to characters, and I'm not dogging on you for wanting to continue playing your character, but there isn't a single other CA or FA on the server that is afforded the "I'm bored, I don't want to continue playing it" privelege. If they do the roleplay to get reverted, they get reverted. If it's non-reversible, they're stuck that way. Not to mention the fact that your character isn't being even revoked, they're just an epiphyte. 

    This was blown up for no reason.

    Btw, you don't get to do this deflection of "I just wanted to do an ama" while simultaneously showing people screenshots of our interaction in DMs and starting your post with "I'm banned because I don't want to play an epiphite"

    just for clarification's sake

    does this mean that Raids are now completely uncapped, regardless if it's a lair, settlement, or nation?

     

    im guessing w/ the new plugin w/ raid ladders and explosive tnt, it'll be easier to get into said nations n stuff as well

     

    an interesting change if you concur !

     

    tell me you hate settlements and rp focused groups without telling me you hate them

    in a CRP raid would you have to emote raising up the ladder or will it just do it on its own? maybe that'd be something to consider idk


    It sounds to me like it’s automatic, something along the lines of you place it down and it grows once every X seconds.  

  6. 2 minutes ago, NotEvilAtAll said:

    I wonder how the raid ladders will work with CRP default.

     

    If raiders show up and defenders call CRP, how does that work exactly? Does the ladder build up at X blocks per round of emotes or what?


    I can only answer this question with what I feel is logic, and that would be that attackers actively engaged in combat wouldn’t be able to raise a ladder while also fighting. 

  7. Can’t say I think factions-lite raid ladders and seal team 6 breach charges are the move. 
     

    I’d love to battle for helms deep someone in a warclaim but I thought we were moving passed promoting pvp and raiding when we did stuff like not allowing trees as parkour platforms.

    Eisodios to our fellow peers and subjects of the Kingdom.

     

    All are invited to the first Rhenyar cookout in decades, hosted to celebrate the elevation of the new count of Susa, Sir Aleksander Basrid. 

     

    The day shall begin with the hoisting of a freshly caught sturgeon from the river Sabari onto the great table, followed by its preparation in the open air with oils and spices endemic only to imports from the isle of Rhen. All guests shall participate in the preparation. 

     

    Thereafter, lades will be led to the picnic stations where they shall prepare plates of ruhdrian clay from the wastes of Savoy, while the men heat the flames to cook the sturgeon.

  9. The tears no longer fell.

     

    Not out of callous, but of the simple fact that there were none left.

     

    His friends were all dying, he could only wonder how much long it was until Xan called his name.

     

    "May your memory be a blessing, rest well my friend."

  10. The tears rolled freely down Kalius’ face upon hearing of the fate of his old, old friend. Their bond had started on an odd note, the Lion ready to shred the phoenix should he treat his cousin poorly. Yet quickly their bond grew into that of brothers, in more way than one.
     

    Time and time again the two jaded ‘Ame rose from the shadows to fight, and prepared to die, for their kin. Kalius envied his fallen friend in a way, knowing he finally found the peace he long sought that he himself still chased. 
     

    He knelt atop a mountain, cloak draped over his head. He made no effort to stop the tears, letting them soak the ground beneath him.

     

    May your memory be a blessing, old friend. You shall live on in the hearts of all those you met. We will not forget you.

  11. A weary figure sat still upon the root of a tree, his head bowed in mourning. He had not known Tanila well, despite being his sister in law, but that was mostly his fault anyway. Tears slowly cascaded down his cheek, though quickly stopped, but still he wept. It felt that loss was all he had ever known, haunting every facet of his troubled life. 

     

    "Rest well, lari'onn. May you leave the pain behind, and may your memory be a blessing."

     

    He rose slowly after some time.

     

    His limbs shouting in defiance.

     

    It was time to head home.

     

     

  12. A DRAGON RIDES AGAIN

    16th of Tobias’ Bounty, 1868

     



    It is the will of GOD and my ancestors before me that I, Mattias Ault, last known and material blood descendent of His Lordship, The Mountain that Rides, Ser Darius Ault, herein declare my fealty to King Frederick I and back his rightful claim to the throne of the Kingdom of Oren. 
     

    I devote my life to the Kingdom of Oren, and humbly request that His Majesty recognize me as the patriarch of House Ault, stripped of any and all claims or titles once held by His Lordship Darius Ault, beyond those of lineage, legitimizing the surname Ault once more so that it may once again stand stalwart in defense of the throne.

    The existence of WT gave us Grool and Junar which led to the floundering and wasting of this map which could have been avoided completely by having our usual aforementioned A team of invested folks. It also speaks volumes to the situation it put us in when - I say this 'professionally' and with heart because he's a dear friend - Heero was the best option for admin. Didn't pan out great. I'm glad we're streamlining but also hope we can see more general admins with longevity. 

     

    Say what you will about the implementation of the World Team but the team did not have the leadership it needed to work in any capacity, which frankly I think says more about the administration as a whole rather than the WT. An admin who was stuck in his ways to a fault, pvp goon turned admin who abused PEX for his friends (totally shocking, who could have seen that one coming /s), and an admin whos been negligent of the entire team for months. I'll admit that I was rather surprised by this move to remove the WT outright instead of trimming the dead weight months ago and trying to get a competent leader for once. 

     

    I'll also say that the whole notion of "general admin" seems to be more of a weird way of letting incumbent admins cling to a shred of "power" and dodge responsibility for ruining their teams, rather then being something that is genuinely beneficial for the servers growth and survival. Not sure we really need general admins with longevity, or at all really.

    The other new rule i take gripe with is this one: 

     

    Subjugation War Goal (7500 x tiles)

    The ultimate demand. Annex a bordering nation or non-nation settlement.

    • Win a normal field and siege battle in the capital tile.

      • The defender must have one remaining tile.

    • The subjugating nation may not evict for 3 months.

     

    Get this of this all together. Poof. Make it so it never happened. This war goal will only be used by larger nations against settlements or smaller nations. Admins, you removed the Pk War goal due to it forcing people to pk their personas. I believe that was the correct choice. HOWEVER. What you have done is something far worse. you have allowed there is be a war goal to kill an entire nation or settlement. If you goal was to make it so people would not be forced to give up their persona's due unfair or unreasonable circumstances then you have utterly failed by making something much worse. 

     

    well i am unsure of how rules or systems are voted on i implore the admin team to take a longer time in the future in order to think it over PRIOR to doing something you may or may not regret. perhaps i am just rambling and perhaps no one on LOTC agrees with me however i am ok with  that. I just wish to provide my honest opinion. Yes this is a roleplay server first and foremost. However. This is also a large community composing of over 500 members. For those who have read this far i would thank you. 

     

     

    Your Truly

    Agreed that I dont think subjugate really keeps the standard that they're setting. It's also rather confusing IMO, but I might be overthinking. Here's my original question in staff discord that did not get a response on re Subjugation:

     

    "But can we get a little more clarification on this? Isn't this just conquest on a 3 month eviction timer for the attacker? What if defenders only have 1 tile to being with? What does that mean for non-nation settlements that dont have a single tile at all? Whats even the point of the 3 month timer? To give the original defenders time to rebel?"

  15. The golden eyed Tresery lets out a long sigh as he reads over the pamphlet, having found its way to him eventually. 
     

    You people are ******* hopeless,“  he muses aloud to nobody in particular. “Stop trying to make it happen, didn’t you hear what happened to the last guys who tried?

  16. The Gàidhealach Tachartasan of 1855

     

    RqjT3vNxdS3CesOo0mA3AyZ6Uf2xwakf5NuxOU8T7fXedez3bR2derIOUtNtVDBg-fuqF5EiMBbbRa84lLKnVm-2HY6hT9d390krst8y7prlZjFzS7YpwTSApXHSrw98ISFen2A


     

    The Gàidhealach Tachartasan, more commonly referred to as The Highland Games in the common tongue, is a series of events that is held approximately once every Elven month to celebrate the Daelish culture. The events represent cultural values that the Daelish people hold close, such as brute strength, unwavering perseverance, and deadly combat ability. The winners of each event will receive a reward, something that represents both their glory and skill alike. 


     



     

    The Events

     

    Sreap Chraobhan - The Log Climb

     

    A thick wooden log taken from a fallen tree is stripped of its roots, limbs and canopy, reburied into the ground so that it sits 9 meters tall. Grooves are cut into the wood every 1 meter. The participants of the event are given 8 planks ((ladders)), each capable of being placed securely into the cut grooves with enough force. The contestants start on the ground, jamming a plank into each groove before climbing onto that plank. The first to scale the wooden pole, not skipping a groove, is the winner.

     

    Sabaid Dhorn - The Fist Fight

     

    Perhaps the simplest and most straightforward event of the Highland Games, the Sabaid Dhorn is exactly what its translation sounds like, a fist fight. The format may vary from year to year, but at its core the game remains the same. Last man/team standing wins. 

     

    There are several variations of this event. Typically the event is a 1 on 1 fight, the first to draw blood being the winner. However not only has the event been held in teams of two or three, or even an all out brawl, but it has been played on a platform standing over the sea, the loser being the first to be drenched by the cold, foamy water.

     

    Comórtas Lámhach - Archery Contest

     

    While as straightforward as the Fist Fight, it is not nearly as simple. In the Archery contest the participants must hit all targets indicated by the Tiarna Fabhcun (or whomever is hosting the event). Contestants are either judged on the speed in which they hit all the targets, regardless of overall accuracy, or judged upon how few shots it takes them to hit all of the targets.


     

     


     

    ((OOC: The Highland Games will commence at 4 PM EST on Wednesday, January 12th  in Daeland, located at (167, 82, 2021). ))
