CHARLES THE BALD

As the commotions drew the guards away from the dwarf who was giggling to himself and walking amongst the keeps of Aevos, he would be seen pinning the following notice on various noticeboards around the realm of Aevos. The dwarf would do such a great job that all the capitals in Aevos and their vassals would be visited by the dwarf; as he was a determined character. Issued and averred by a group of Concerned NOBLES of the Empire of Man. To the citizens of Aevos, The people of the ELF KIND, the DWARF KIND, the HALF KIND and the ORC KIND. To the citizens of EMPIRE OF MAN, The greater souls of Aevos. OPENING Long have come the EMPERORS to this world and may they be celebrated forever. In the history books, it has come to be that these emperors are of the UNDEAD KIND. In multiple times, this statement has turned out to be true. Today, a group of concerned nobles SPEAK OUT against the current EMPEROR. And so, by virtue of the Emperor, we ASK for the EMPEROR to be PUBLICLY BLOODED, and for his BLOOD to be INVESTIGATED in the eyes of the COMMON PEOPLE and various holds of the HOLY EMPIRE. Remember the name of King Henrik I THE UNDEAD and King Henry of Oren THE UNDEAD ? ✷ On the purpose of BLOODING the EMPEROR : The purpose of BLOODING the EMPEROR goes as follow : ✢ If the EMPEROR doesn’t bleed, THEREBY, he shall be named, UNDEAD. ✢ If the BLOOD doesn’t shine, THEREBY, he shall be named, UNDEAD. ✢ If the EMPEROR doesn’t feel, THEREBY, he shall be named, UNDEAD. ✢ If the EMPEROR doesn’t agree, THEREBY, he shall be named, UNDEAD. And by hope, and by virtue of our great Emperor, we ask THE PEOPLE of the EMPIRE OF MAN, to rally under the concerned NOBLES and demand for the PUBLIC BLOODING of the EMPEROR OF MAN. The EMPIRE needs to prosper without UNDEAD influence at our LEADERSHIP. Will you agree ? If the BLOOD shall be declared FREE of the undead, therefore, the group of concerned nobles shall DISBAND! AVE IMPERIUM! H V M A N I T A S I N V I C T A “Für Gott und Kaiser,” THE GROUP, of concerned nobles.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH **** the drama, don't listen to them

I'm sure Mark Twain planned this quote to be applied on a forum supporting a video game server where people are feeling angry because someone protected their minecraft roleplay kingdom. We are the idiots, we are the outcasts, we are the weird ones who do minecraft roleplay, never forget that. It's been 100 messages, grow up and move on.

I'm asking myself why is the story team admin giving an update on a rule instead of the moderation admin.

Hello xDk ! It’s alright, we’re all learning in life and this was a learning occasion for both of us. I learned a lot about the invision community forum and I will be honest, it looks like an enterprise solution that doesn’t really give out information for developers and usually the admin panels of those software are a confusing sack of shite. Hopefully you learn to do cool things from it, saying that you created a theme, custom plugins and integrated outside solutions into a framework like that will certainly make you better than most. Let’s keep developing, Have a great week my friend, Charles,

Hello gentlemen, Before you ask yourself why I am not participating in the tech team, well you are the reason why, I do not have to time to argue with someone who's just afraid to learn how things work and get dirty, it's how you actually learn to develop and make cool things. Alright, now, let's begin. The first rule of tech is that anything is possible and you are failing to respect it. That's where you will be able to discern yourself from the others in an interview. It was a great attempt at it but you went full redditor mode and just wrote a bunch of half-truths. It's alright to be wrong, it's even more wrong to defend yourself while you are wrong and not accepting that I am right, it's alright I understand that I've been a memer and dirty troll, but I am a competent programmer and that's comments from people with 15++ years of experience that are my colleagues that tell me that. I don't think you understand how development works, even if hosted by invision, it does seem to be able to add custom css and js to pages, it's clear as day in the developer docs. If it's self-hosted by lotc, then we have free reign to understand how the software works and make changes to it, just make sure to never update it. If you want to remove an item but you are so scared to change the invision core files, you just pass a css rule, like any competent developer. It doesn't matter that there's multiple html files, at the end of the day for a .css file, it reads the computed html file so, yes, you pass a rule, easy. https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/pages/recreating-the-release-notes-section/using-custom-css-js-r107/ https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/docs/development/applications/creating-a-simple-hello-world-application-r184/ https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/docs/development/plugins/overview-of-plugins-in-ips4-r41/ https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/457017-where-to-add-javascript-snippet-on-homepage/ The fact is you don't understand how plug to play packages like swiper work, you replicate the html structure and instantiate it using the self-instantiated classes they have or do it yourself in a custom javascript. There's no need to have a custom plugin. And yes, in my thoughts, upgrading to recaptcha v3 would be making a custom application or plugin and including recaptcha takes an hour max for any competent dev, it's easy. I am in fact not wrong, you can learn any system and how they work, I've messed with phpBB and these types of stuff, they're built the same way. I don''t really get why you are arguing against someone who has developed multiple full stack php web apps to businesses, I understand how it works, you can even do it from the control panel. Hopefully we can agree that I am right and that we can forward ourselves in a better area in the future by learning custom invision community software development and create cool plugins for this community ! Thank you very much, Have a great day.

This is a big yikes, in the end, yes, you can template files but at the end of the day, everything is packaged together in a single html page. You can apply a CSS to the whole page, there's no "templating" beside separating css files, it takes a second to add a display:flex to a place and just improve the layout and combine it with the layout it has inside subforums. I don't need you to explain to me the bug, I need you to create the javascript code to fix it. So anyone who's not logged in discord on his browser cannot see anything about the widget. You're also arguing against addons that's used by now what, 60-70%++ of the web. You need to think your design for everything, mobile, tablets, the different browsers from apple to firefox, and these days that includes browsers with ad blockers. It takes a minute to remove the fanthom padding when there's no div over itself, takes a minute on chatgpt. It's still too dark for absolutely no reason, you need to discern it. For users not logged in to lotc, it looks like shit because they haven't read any post. Are you really our web guy when you cannot see that the X should be completely on the right ? Sliders should be easily managed with any modern javascript library like swiper.js, those are used everywhere even in websites because they make your life easier. Recaptcha is created by Google, there should be a way for you to code it for the stuff or use a community invision plugin on github like I have found. So you see you have two <centers> </center> that are apart from each other which means your title is not centered with your bottom one. anyways, should be done via css. Just like there was in the old text editor, can we just switch to tinymce ? After you write 300 words that stuff is gone, anyways, it's 100% done automatically these days, just remove the useless button or add it to the text editor, like it should be. You can still harass llir to add css to the page and fix the childish overflow. This is purely in the realm of the tech team, you can add a javascript .js to the page itself or use the general one and create the code to automatically clear the form on the apply page when the user first focuses on it. ________________________ It takes 4-5 hours max to make a webpage in day, just get the designs out and have them coded out. It doesn't have to take 15 years for the forums to improve. If it's your passion to make websites, well then it should show up on the website itself, if it's not, it shows up. I would spend my whole weekends improving every little bit of the experience here, again different stroke for different people. Also, you're going to receive a harsher review on your first client review or even colleague review, so don't take it that personally and just move on to improve things. You're bucking off childish things and things that could actually improve the experience, stop acting like a teenager. Thank you and have a nice day @xDK

My opinion of you changed after seeing the google document...

The list is already available. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/staff/

Going from page 2 to page 1 on the status update widget makes it stay in a loading state, even when status are loaded as a non-user Do we need padding on a title to put a button next to it ? Also discord widget uneven ? same as light/dark also i am on /forums, I cannot create a thread, just remove the section, it's useless, it's a forum, yes everyone knows LOL 5 differents types of ui title px, possible to unify ? same as light/dark, status updates and options are not on the same line LMAO Can you even see the icon yourself ? lol it's not even a full circle too, it's on both light and dark, just improve the icons ?? it's 2025 ask chat gpt Why is the breadcrumbs, usually at the top on the bottom ? really useful to navigate a website Fairly sure we have more social medias than that, discord ? voting sites ? Is there something to do with all this free space ??? LOL ?? Main page looks like we are don’t have anything interesting, the image was better literally. ?? This doesn’t work https://www.lordofthecraft.net/map/ BROKEN/NEVER UPDATED Overflow … Remove fake loading, text should be instantly loaded https://www.lordofthecraft.net/rules/ Generally repeating text and hard to read Lol Even a child cannot read the image lol What’s this header section, am in the R section ?? Lore redirects to forums, the menu’s confusing Put checks and rules at the end, there’s a reason why, go read design books, also use recaptcha v3 ??? Why do i have to delete text instead of it being automatically deleted ? Why do we neeed this Not centered LOL 99% players do not care, put it in a policy, we are not lawyers, also lawyers will determine it themselves instead of trusting your little text Color is different, usually hard to read across the board, the tebex ui, researched and done by professional UI designers gives me more information in 1 minute Video sounds like a xbox live headset from 2008 and nobody is watching that in the age of quick content __________________________________________________ this is 15 mins of QA, hire a designer and still nobody knows how to make boxes if you make features, make sure your users can easily use it, or it's useless after you stop teaching people how to, it's internet 101 the finale would be that having transparent main ui components is not a good design for people with sight problems and others, we would have to scrap the whole thing

"I have detected a problem instead of actively fixing it, praise me" - Josh

Since I am developer, I can see every little mistake a little bit better than most, I could create a lot of github issues but LotC is not going to see any efforts of my work unless they pay me my freelance rate of 120$ per hour... And I have not been playing Lord of the Craft, I have been working at a new job making the most money I've ever had in my life. Priorities.... Snark aside, thanks for getting the thread out of the latest topics.

Maybe you have not purchased the right kind of glasses, I agree with that, then pay actual money for someone to spend their time for you instead of abusing children and artists who do not believe they should charge for their work ??? Y'all both on discord discussing about it and snarking it up like 60% of the community, allow me to defend myself before you metaplay your answers on the forums too.

How does it make no sense to have tailors in a medieval/fantastic settings ? Did people just wore the same clothes back then ?

The biggest problem is that everyone and their mother is trading skins for minas these days, it's factually hard for the moderation team to enforce such rules properly. As involving skinning in the roleplay world, there are many ways such as tailor shops and such as we have seen, people have been creative with it, why are you not thinking about those ways ? I guess the respect for the story team has been going out the window when the people responsible for keeping that world intact from outside interference are allowing themselves to be lazy. If you want skins made for an event, ask the people to do it for free just like you are in the team for free. By your logic, we should buy ST materials using roleplay and at the same time receiving minas for OOC work to buy these materials is also fine, it makes no sense ?

METAPLAYING has never been in my blood, I would never

THE 2025 COMMUNITY UPDATE METAPLAY IS A JOKE JUST LIKE THE STORY TEAM Before metaplay was even officially defined by the admin team, it was already being enforced and bans were being issued, leaving the community in fear. After many months of enforcement, did it actually improve our community? The news are in: metaplay enforcement hasn’t improved Lord of The Craft. Instead, it has been used as a tool to target certain player groups and issue mass bans against them. Most of the people engaging in that behavior have simply become more secretive about using OOC to alter the server’s roleplay storyline. Many of the bans are laughed at, as they are often based on weak reasons. It simply creates fear and drives people to quit the server. While most of the admin and moderation team have characters that are Adunians or roleplay within its circle, it certainly looks like they have not taken any mass bans or even any bans for that type of conduct. It’s certainly a shocker, nobody is holding them accountable but a few years ago they did the worst of it. While the story team wants us to roleplay trading our beloved story items, they will shamelessly give minas to skinners and artists, creating a false economy. It also allowed some people to become rich and lead communities by their character but when they face a global conflict, they create drama because they didn’t earn their place. While we enforce metaplay rules really hard, skins for minas, for the most part, doesn’t offer anything to the general story of the server, instead, it creates a false economy where a lot of characters are rich for absolutely no roleplay reason. Most skinners do not create a “shop” or use roleplay means to sell their skins, most of the sales are handled on discord, and accepted in an ooc way. We look harshly on the sale of in-game items for money, even banning certain people for it. The story team also wants us to do roleplay to sell roleplay/ST tagged items/materials. Why are we such hypocrites ? Metaplay was defined as this new concept but in reality, it’s just how metagaming should have been enforced since the start of the server. It hasn’t improved our community in the slightest way. Some of the communities within Lord of the Craft don’t include themselves in the world story and do it their way, mass banning Elves will not improve the experience in the caves of Urguan or the one time we have a world meeting. Enforcing metaplay doesn’t improve the fact that over the years, we are at a point where most people do not leave their main city, they refuse to travel in the world and would rather roleplay with their friends locally. Instead, it creates fear of going out as a group because it seems like any talk of discord will get us banned. How did harsh metaplay enforcement stop the war from turning into a metaplay festival ? A certain player group and past members of that group have been trying to create wars within the server for years and have been successful at it, and the bans that those people receive expire, and the same story starts again. It’s not cool to wait for people to commit offenses and to clean up after, that’s literally janitor behavior, which is laughable, being active is 10 times better. While we do not allow the usage of memes and we regularly ban people that do not contribute, it has become a trend to wear a different skin than you currently use such as IRL video game characters in warclaims, people use those skins hours before the warclaim in the story world before any enforcement, where’s the times where people who wore those skins would get banned right away ? You could also reach and say it’s textbook usage of OOC information in RP. In 2025, the forums are broken, most of the functionalities are not working. The roleplay world is just a massive mess of terrible roleplay stories that have destroyed kingdoms that shouldn’t have been. What the hell is going on ?
