  1. Happy St.Patricks Day to our Irish people and those who celebrate it anyway.

  2. For how defining this battle was for The Fringe, I've tried every keyword combination possible on youtube in order to get a video of the battle but there's none possible beside recaps of the war.
  3. A new book appears within the Urguan library, visible to all : Stories of Charles "The Bald" II The Battle of Mount Augustus Re-written and published by The Hammerfist Clan, original papers by Charles "The Bald". The Fringe was a brutal world, but that’s when the hero of all dwarves appeared, Charles “The Bald”. He would establish himself within the Ireheart clan and start his life as a dwarf of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan. He had not fought in many battles against the Orenian armies yet. His first battle would be one that he would never forget, a battle that would haunt him for the rest of his life. It was the battle for Mount Augustus, a strategic mountain peak that overlooked the city of Vekaro, a stronghold of their enemy, The Orenian Empire. The forces tallied at 130,000 for The Coalition and 80,000 for the Orenian forces, an easy victory in perspective especially against The Orenian Empire. The dwarves and their allies, The Coalition, knew that if they could take the mountain, they would have a significant advantage in the war. However, the plan didn’t go as planned for Wulfgar Grandaxe and the other war leaders. The Battle To End it All The Coalition, under the command of the Grand King Wulfgar Grandaxe, made a bold move. They split their army into two groups, with one assaulting the city from the west while the other scaled the treacherous slopes of Mount Augustus to attack from the high ground. The army within Vekaro would be caught off guard by this maneuver, and were not able to fend off the assault from the west, forcing the forces to retreat. The battle turned quickly in favor of the Dwarves, who were able to rout the Orenian army back to the front of their gates allowing the dwarves and the rest of their forces access to the mountain. As the dwarves approached the mountain, the humans opened fire with their archers, raining arrows down upon the charging force. But the dwarves and other nations pressed on, their shields deflecting the arrows as they closed in on the human lines. The two forces collided in a deafening clash of steel and battle cries. The dwarves fought with a ferocity that was unmatched, their axes and hammers cleaving through human armor with ease. But the humans fought back with equal determination, their swords and spears finding their marks and spilling dwarven blood. For hours, the battle raged on, with neither side gaining the upper hand due to the strategic location of Mount Augustus. The dwarves, however, began to tire and falter, their losses mounting as they fought against a relentless human force. In these fearful times, Charles the Bald rallied the troops with Hogarth Irongut, pushing them forward in a final, desperate charge up the mountain. Charles and Hogarth ultimately led the successful charge on Mount Augustus, with a group of the bravest and most skilled warriors by his side, their axes swinging with deadly precision as they cut down the human soldiers in their path. The battle was fierce and intense, with both sides suffering heavy losses. But Charles and Hogarth were undeterred. They fought their way to the top of the mountain, taking out every human soldier who dared to stand in their way. As they reached the summit, they were met with a final wave of human defenders that they finally defeated swiftly. Charles could finally see the city of Vekaro in the distance. Victory was almost within their grasp. However, it was then that they realized their fatal mistake. They had underestimated the strength of the enemy and the importance of the city next to the mountain they were attacking. The Orenian army had amassed a huge force, and they quickly launched a counter-attack. Charles, Hogarth and his fellow dwarves were heavily outnumbered, and they were soon forced to retreat. As they made their way back down the mountain, he knew that the failure to take Mount Augustus would have disastrous consequences for their kingdom and the future of the world. The Savior of Fili Grandaxe As the line resettled further back, the dwarves and their allies found themselves outnumbered and outmatched again and again. It was then that Fili Grandaxe was ambushed by a group of human soldiers who had managed to sneak behind the dwarven lines. Charles "The Bald" saw the ambush and charged towards Fili's position, fighting his way through the enemy soldiers with a ferocity that few had ever seen before. Despite being greatly outnumbered, Charles "The Bald" fought with the strength of ten dwarves, his battle axe cleaving through flesh and bone with each swing. Finally, he reached Fili's position and dispatched the last of the human soldiers who were attacking him. Fili, who was badly wounded, was amazed at the sight of the dwarven warrior who had come to his rescue. Charles hoisted Fili over his shoulder and began to make his way back towards the dwarven lines. The human soldiers, seeing their prey escaping, gave chase, but "The Bald" was not deterred. He fought off the enemy soldiers with his battle axe, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. But in the chaos of battle, Charles was struck by an arrow in his eye. He winced in pain but kept fighting, determined to get Fili to safety. The two warriors finally reached the safety of the dwarven lines, and Fili was quickly taken to receive medical attention. Charles collapsed from his injuries, and he was rushed to the infirmary alongside Fili. The Bald’s recovery Days passed, and Charles "The Bald" fought for his life while Fili recovered rather quickly. His wounds were severe, but his spirit was strong. He refused to give up, determined to recover and return to the battle. Eventually, Charles "The Bald" did recover, though he was left with a permanent scar from the arrow that had struck him. Despite the pain, Charles had managed to save Fili Grandaxe and escape with Hogarth Irongut. Charles still returned to his people, wounded and demoralized. He felt responsible for the failure and knew that he had let his people down. For weeks, Charles stayed in the infirmary, resting and healing. He was visited by his friends and fellow warriors who brought him gifts and stories of their own battles. Fili Grandaxe also visited him, bringing him freshly baked pies and telling him tales of his own adventures. The coalition would eventually lose the war, and Charles would always feel a sense of guilt and regret for his failure at Mount Augustus. However, he would use that failure to fuel his determination and dedication to his people, vowing to never make the same mistake again and to always fight for the betterment of his kingdom. The Ceremony The grand hall of the dwarven kingdom were finally filled with a joyous atmosphere as the grand king Wulfgar Grandaxe presided over a ceremony to honor a brave warrior. The dwarf who was being celebrated was none other than Charles "The Bald", who had recovered from his injuries after saving Fili Grandaxe during the battle of Mount Augustus. Charles sat in the front row, dressed in his finest armor, surrounded by his friends. The room was decorated with Irehearts banners, his clan at the time, and the aroma of roasted meat and ale filled the air. The king rose from his throne and began to speak, his voice echoing throughout the hall. "Todayeh lads, weh gather toh honor one of oureh bravesteh warriors, Charles The Bald !" the king said, his voice ringing with pride. "Heh risked his own fooken' life to save that of his fellow dweds, one of my clan members, Fili Grandaxe, and foreh that, we are eternally gratefuleh." The crowd cheered and raised their mugs in a toast to Charles. The king continued to speak, praising Charles for his bravery, his loyalty, and his dedication to the dwarven cause. "Charles has proven himself toime and toime againeh on z'e battlefield lads," the king said, his voice booming. "And heh is ah shining exampleh of what iteh means to be a dwed - to be strongeh, fearless, and unyielding in the face of dangereh." As the king finished his speech, he motioned for Charles to come forward. Charles rose to his little feet and made his way to the front of the room, where the king presented him with a medal of honor. The medal was adorned with the symbol of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan - a hammer and anvil - and it shone brightly in the light. "Charles, ye have proven yourselfeh to beh a true heroh lad," the king said, placing the medal around Charles' neck. "Mayeh it serve as ah reminder of yer bravery and yer dedication toh oureh cause." Charles bowed his head, tears in his eyes, as the crowd erupted in applause. He knew that he had done what any dwarf would do - protect his kin and fight for his home. But to be honored in such a way, to be recognized for his bravery, was a truly humbling experience. As the ceremony drew to a close, Charles made his way back to his seat, his chest swelling with pride. He knew that he would continue to fight for his people, to protect them at all costs, and to always be a shining example of what it means to be a true dwarf. OOC Oren Cheated.
  4. A newly published book appears in the land of The Grand Kingdom of Urguan : Stories of Charles "The Bald" I Re-written and published by The Hammerfist Clan, original papers by Charles "The Bald" Charles “The Bald“, a once-proud warrior of the defunct Grand Kingdom Urguan, had been tasked with a dangerous mission. He had been sent to the newly formed dwarven kingdom of Kaz'ulrah to eliminate the new king who had killed all of his friends. A coronation ceremony was to be held inside of the kindgom. Charles knew that he had to act quickly and decisively to complete his mission. He positioned himself in a small hole in the ceiling above the throne room, waiting patiently for the right moment to strike. As the ceremony began, Charles listened intently to the speeches and the cheers of the crowd, his heart pounding with anticipation. Finally, he saw his chance. With one swift stroke of his axe, he drove it into the new king's skull, killing him instantly. Chaos erupted in the throne room as the guards tried to figure out what had happened and who was responsible. As Charles tried to make his escape, he was suddenly confronted by a group of friendly raiders who had infiltrated the city. They had come to help him complete his mission and escape safely. Together, Charles and the friendly raiders fought their way through the guards and made their way out of the throne room. The fighting was fierce, but Charles knew that he had allies by his side and that gave him the strength to keep going. As they ran through the streets of Kaz'ulrah, Charles could hear the sounds of battle behind him. But he didn't look back. He knew that he had completed his mission and that he had allies who would help him get to safety. Finally, they reached the entrance to the city. Charles and the friendly raiders ran outside and into the darkness, their hearts pounding with adrenaline. They knew that they had accomplished what they had come to do, and they felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. As they disappeared into the night, Charles thought about the dangers that he had faced and the risks that he had taken. But he also knew that he had proven himself to be a warrior of the highest order, and that he had done what was necessary to protect his people. However, he still knew he had committed a serious crime. THE REDEMPTION Charles the Bald had committed a terrible crime - kinslaying. He had been consumed by anger and hatred towards his own kin, leading him to take the life of a fellow dwarf. Charles was filled with remorse and knew he needed to seek redemption for his crime. He journeyed to the Cloud Temple, seeking guidance from the monks and forgiveness from the dwarven gods. However, upon arrival, he discovered that a mistake had been made and the monks believed him to be dead. Charles was in a state of shock and disbelief. He had hoped to seek the guidance of the monks and be forgiven by the dwarven gods, but now he was trapped in a limbo between life and death. The monks at the Cloud Temple had deemed him unworthy of returning to the land of the living, and so his spirit had remained trapped in a purgatory-like state, neither alive nor dead but they were kind enough to take him in and provide him with shelter, but Charles could not shake the feeling of despair. He felt as though he was a prisoner, trapped in a state of purgatory, unable to return to the land of the living. Charles knew that he needed to redeem himself in the eyes of the dwarven gods, but he was unsure how to do so. But then, something miraculous happened. One day, the monks at the Cloud Temple decided to revisit Charles's case. They delved into his past, studying every detail of his life, and discovered something that had eluded them before. They realized that Charles had not acted out of malice or selfishness when he had committed the kinslaying, but out of a sense of duty to his kingdom. The monks were filled with remorse for not having realized this earlier, and they decided to allow Charles to return to the land of the living. They performed a ritual, and Charles's spirit was released from its purgatory-like state. As Charles's soul returned to his body, he felt a sudden jolt of energy surge through him. He gasped for breath as his lungs filled with air, and his heart began to beat once again. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a stone slab in the Cloud Temple's sanctum. The monks were there to greet him, and they explained to him what had happened. They told him that he had been given a second chance, and that he had to use it to redeem himself in the eyes of the dwarven gods and the world. Charles was overwhelmed with gratitude, and he pledged to spend the rest of his days living up to the expectations of his newfound benefactors. He set out on a journey, determined to make amends for his past misdeeds. THE RETURN TO URGUAN Charles the Bald had spent a considerable amount of time at the Cloud Temple, seeking redemption for the kinslaying he had committed in his past. He had prayed to the dwarven gods fervently, and the monks had finally deemed him worthy of being allowed to return to the land of the living. As he made his way back to the dwarven society, he knew that he had a long and difficult road ahead of him. He had to redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow dwarves, and he was determined to do so. He arrived in the newly reformed Grand Kingdom of Urguan, where he was greeted by wary looks from the other dwarves. He understood their hesitation, for he had been known as a kinslayer and an outcast. But he was determined to prove himself worthy of their trust. Charles decided to start by performing acts of service for the community. He helped to repair the city's walls, he assisted the smiths in their work, and he even volunteered to be part of the city guard. His efforts did not go unnoticed, and slowly but surely, the other dwarves began to see him in a different light. As he continued to serve his community, Charles also reflected on his past actions and sought to make amends where he could. He sought out the families of those he had wronged and apologized for his actions, asking for their forgiveness. It was not an easy task, but he knew it was necessary for his redemption. Months passed, and Charles began to earn the trust and respect of his fellow dwarves. He had proven himself to be a valuable member of the community, and many even began to see him as a hero. One day, as he was walking through the city, he heard a cry for help. Without hesitation, he ran to the source of the sound and found that a group of bandits had attacked a group of dwarves, stealing their valuables and injuring some of them. Charles drew his weapon and charged at the bandits, fighting them off and protecting the innocent dwarves. As the bandits fled, the injured dwarves thanked Charles for his bravery and praised him as a hero. He had redeemed himself in their eyes, and he knew that he had finally earned his place in dwarven society once again. From that day on, Charles continued to serve his community, always striving to make amends for his past mistakes and prove himself as a worthy and honorable dwarf. And though he knew that he could never erase the past, he found solace in the fact that he had been given a second chance to make things right.
  5. THE ROAD TO 500 IS BACK, WE'RE VIRAL !!!

  6. u tried with on-load or any event really, i wonder if you could technically show sections, you can still pass some code like "this.show()" or things like that i am too tired of inspecting elements all day at work to do it after work https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onload.asp
  7. What you're doing is outputting HTML with CSS in the text editors, if you inspect element on Facebook and make changes, you are not hacking facebook. It is a security risk since I could probably allow some javascript code to go trough. @Llir
  8. The forums would have to be manually updated for you to have access to new fonts, you can inspect element, but that's fairly local unless you got access to Lotc servers.
  9. "HE-RE-SEH !" would exclaim the old dwarf upon reading the fantasy stories written by the man, when the history of the dwarves has been lived by actual dwarves, he knew these claims were false. He would then exclaim his opinion to himself in order to appear righteous later on : "Eet's noice speending' ya' toime wroitin' histoireh', but when teh' historeh' has been loived' beh' realeh' fooken people, eet' doesn't makeh' sense for yeh' to try and redefoined, teh cultureh tha' people haveh' defoined' t'emselves dumbo" Weh knoweh' teh followin' clans nevah did aneh' of this', t'ere's books around this fooken world going againsteh' yer fooken storeh lad, ye look loike teh' fool yeh always been". He would then consult the black hand in order to know what was next for the cannonist slaves.
  10. "Eet's about toime' someone put their' fukken pants and put teh ordah up in des' fooken' place, and eet's not teh' king that would do it" would say the old dwarf upon receiving the news that the cleaning crew are coming in. He would also fall back to sleep after stealing food and various items from human kingdoms, a task he was tasked by the black hand.
  11. The old dwarf would say within his head, proudly, for once. "He couldn't uphold peace within his own kingdom, how can he uphold peace within a clan ?" "Huh" said the old dwarf as a closing statement.
  12. the elves trully have fallen from their trees, they way up will be a long one unless...

  14. The dwarf would automatically step in front of the group of dwarves in order to protect and evacuate them even those that do not agree with him on many subjects. "Let's get the fook outta' ere', eet's teh' crazeh' dwed againeh"
  15. just calm down, not everyone speaks english daily, i was obviously trying to be overly friendly to pass the message that I was being friendly and not trying to be an *******, I know what I bring to a team and have taught juniors so calm down over there
  16. You've got great courage man, just calm down a little.
  17. It's obviously a beginner project, don't wanna sound like an *******, but slap a border-radius on these boxes, loose the border a little bit, remove the box at the top, we could make this a really beautiful project. Let's change the police too, would look awesome. A lil padding in the center element and stuff. You could use the side bars to put some moving lotc icons or something and let it really flow too. I changed this in 10 minutes so it's not really a finished product and just a rough idea, but could look really cool in the end if you try to have fun with it and let your creative self express yourself.

  18. "I could have done that yesterday during my drunkness" says the son of Rorry Hammerfist while sipping some tea to recover from the long night he had.
  19. The knowledgeable dwarf would clearly state his mind following his lecture of the Rhun's prophet letter : "These are not dwarves, they wreck havoc within our ranks, they refuse to adapt to our culture, they will pay for their mistakes. They act like they have the right for dwarves to be charged under their laws but they do not, what a load of horse manure that has been stale for so many years"
  20. An armed dwarf would penetrate through Urguan’s gate, his mission was clear for the debut it started. He distributed the so-called DNN News Papers to the community without worrying about the message within it, “mus’ be’ news” he said. THE PROBLEM WITH EPIPHYTE DWARVES ᚹᚺᛖᚱᛖ ᚨᚱᛖ ᛁᛟᚢᚱ ᚱᚢᚾᛖᛊ 15th of Snow’s Maiden The so-called Epiphyte Dwarves have slowly crawled into our ranks and have taken over our land, so much that our gate is now hidden between trees, our banners are hidden by the leaves, our people are left to clean their mess before every winter. When Urguan finds itself without the magical powers that it needs because of the Epiphyte Dwarves and their affiliates within the council that have raised the toxicity within Urguan, the morale of the community will go down, a revolt will happen within the mountain. This magical power has never been seen before and will take over this world and the Dwarves of Urguan will be without it. I want to remind those that want to play both sides that no matter the effort that you put into it, you will always fail at it, you will have to pick a side in the end, make the right one. Their cities have taken over the mountain that we settled in, their ways have entered the mountain, the trees have to be finally taken down and burned. I don’t even know what race to call these people, for hundreds of years they have called themselves dwarves but they are nothing like us, these people don’t like the appeal of the minerals within the mountain. Each time they asked for more, we gave it to them, then they would then complain some more and we accepted their demands. We have been weak for thousands of years, Urguan hasn’t worn the orange and black banner like the proud kingdom it is. King Agnar Grandaxe, I will personally rally every nation against you if you do not act against those who have ran urguan’s reputation through the mud, we will create an Urguan for those who respect and take time to listen to others. You have never been accepted by the old guard as a proper candidate, there have been reasons why and these reasons stay to this day. Your love for talking behind people's back will bite you, it always will. You have never been able to convince those of your age, you had to wait for a new generation to take your place. Signed, Someone who is happy to be on the right side, The Unnamed Dwarf.
  21. Your team is failing on many levels and will never be able to trivialize on getting videos viral. Your job is to promote the server and with 400 views per videos, which is 90% the lotc community, is not making it. Your team cannot spend 2 weeks on a high quality video that gets 400 views, it's a waste of your time, you are ultimately doing nothing and spending Tythus LTD resources. In this day and age, you need to post quick, available and easy to consume content. Your titles are absolutely ass, nobody in the world beside us knows what an LoTC highlight is, nobody is searching for it. "Bandit vs. man" Same thing, poor title nobody in 2023 is getting bandited, nobody is searching for that. "MAN GETS ROBBED BY THIEF" is an example of a title that will make it. Thumbnails are great, could be improved since it's clear they do not work since every video gets 400 views, the thumbnail is very important in getting people to click the video, we use bland colors on them, they don't stand out from the others in a search request. You've gotta improve it. My videos get more views than yours and I only post them on the forums, I don't even try to promote them on discords, there's a clear lack of work in that sector. People that make it on Youtube/Tiktok post content every day, you doesn't. You do high quality content, yes in some case, but overall you are on part with the other youtubers that stay at sub 1000 views. You need to define how you are going to get people to see your videos before making videos, you can spend 6 years uploading every week without making it while having great content. If people are not consuming your content, it's useless to keep going at it, you won't make it. If you spend 3 years trying to make it as a Youtuber while you could have stopped at 1, these 2 years that you've done something else was the best decision you've ever made. You need to go out of the box to make it, you really need to put some thought behind it and analyze how others are making it, clearly you are not doing it and nobody is interested to.
  22. Priceflash is right, most of the time, you do not own the rights to your images as you are using someone else propriety or have accepted terms of service while using something. AI is so misunderstood by a lot of people, what you see these days is not even AI as most people think about it. I would rather call it pattern recognition but that's not really fancy for the news, it reads data, recognize what the item should be. The text AI and image stuff seems really impressive but if you ask a text ai to give you a text about what happened in 1955, it's gonna give you a formulation of the same text 10 times if you want it to. AI in it's current form is not even dangerous lol, it's never gonna go around and start feeding itself data from the lord of the craft forums but that would be funny AF if that stuff started happening tho. The parameters are well human defined and very restrictive. Lots of people attracted to AI think they know about it and never open tensorflow or any technologies in AI. The news make it seems like we're gonna get controlled. Fairly understandable that most people think it's gonna ruin our lives.
  23. "Ah dunnae' know iffeh' ah' race t'ats naturalleh' strong by et'self and trains evereh day in teh moine needs ah gym ya fooken' clown, teh fokken ees' closed eveah' since Norli left" says the Dwarf before ripping the papper to shreds and punching a hole inside of his wooden wall.
  24. I always preferred the event team, sorry, won't be joining.
