"One third of the reaction against the Sedan Rebellion? I believe they mean ONE HALF against the Petran schism, along with the King they failed to recognise. Haenser Pontiffs..." Samuel T. Savoyard rants to himself, flinging his Haeseni wood carven table into toppling over. It breaks.

IMO "only during wars" is the worst option. you'd let them dodge actual assassinations but force them to pk to getting caught afk in a raid? 

either general pk clauses or none imo.

Idk about the ST giving out mechanical items. It'll inevitably happen that certain groups end up with a load of OP shit and others with nothing. It should be restricted to eventlines or major/important events at least - to avoid cases of some random monster conveniently exploding into ebig loot because the players like each other.

"To Attorney-at-Law, Samuel V. Savoyard,

 

We send prayerful good wishes to yourself and appreciate the humble service to Almighty God you have displayed by petitioning Us on the behalf of others.

 

We agree with you on the summarisation of the noble and devout lives of the Canonist Princes, King Alexander of Balian and King Charles of Aaun. So much so that had a gathering of the Curia been possible since Our enthronement, your petition would have already been discussed. Our own ill health, since cured by the grace of God's time, and the following rout of all Canondom at the hands of the Mori'quessir has most tragically taken and prevented much. Once we, all those who bear witness to the beauty of the Canonist faith, are situated safely We and the Curia will review those who lived exemplary lives. This We promise.

 

We appreciate the sentiment which prompted you to share this petition with Us and encourage all who are likeminded to do the same.

 

Signed,

Pontifex Maximus

Xystus Quintus"

The Savoyard Law Firm wishes the Pontiff good health.

I do think it's funny as it seems people almost want to be upset at Staff and assume the worst. Why not just ask if they are sure they had specific permission beyond paying $5 if you're concerned about it than assume they didn't and argue.

 

I'm v disappointed in people's ability to critically think and ask questions, including my own.

 

If you have any questions/concerns about how this was handled, then ask for the specifics and observe the answer; THEN make conclusions.

couple things

(1) the polite thing to do would be to announce where the build came from and link the video, even if it was paid for;

(2) we have pics going around alleging to show that the creator DID NOT approve and, while these may be faked, some comment from whoever oversaw this would be nice

idk dude i'm not going around calling (whoever the **** was in charge of the temp map; i honestly don't know) the child of satan, but to everyone citing this:

that's clearly Mojang saying that THEY might use your work for marketing

and that stuff about "it may be used in a way you don't like" is just warning players that others WILL use their content if it's made public; it's not an endorsement of doing that.

no, i do not believe LOTC will be sued if it's used this guy's stuff without his permission, but that's not the issue here. i don't think @Slorbin or the YouTuber filed a lawsuit against the server, or that it'd be successful if they did. but that isn't the issue. the issue is that it's cringe and makes us all look bad if the server did use some guy's build without his permission, so we're all like "WTF????" and wanna see what's up. so you guys can spare us the shitty attempts at lawyering. you aren't attornies and this case will never reach the supreme court; you can relax

I took a pill in Almaris
To show the Haensers I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older
But **** it, it was something to do
I'm fighting in the Warclaim
I man a cannon just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million minas
And I spend it on maidens I choose

TO RECOGNIZE THE STANDARD BEARERS OF CANONISM
A petition for the veneration of their late Majesties the Kings of Aaun and Balian respectively, penned by REDACTED, concluded at SAVOYARD AND SONS and delivered to the Curia of the Holy Mother Church on the 1st of Harren’s Folly, Anno Orenii 1925.

“But see, the Lord provides: where the virtuous are cast out of this world, He gathers them in the Skies.” (Gospel 5:41-42)


To His Holiness the High Pontiff, Sixtus V, and the Curia of the Holy Mother Church, greetings;

While it may have thankfully, given time, become a distant memory, it still remains a painful fact that our Holy Mother Church suffered a most grave insurrection and near schism in recent times: when the rulers of Petra, Sedan and Haense sent an ultimatum to God’s Church in retribution for its investigations in Sedan regarding the then Prince Frederick II’s alleged assured Azdrazism, and threatened the Holy Mother Church with destruction should it not comply.

At this time, for but a moment, the Holy Mother Church appeared to be in grave danger. The majority of Canonist states had turned against Her, and accosted Her with malicious intentions. In this moment, whereas there was voiced opposition everywhere, the Canonist world came to know in specific two true bulwarks of religious orthodoxy: King Charles of Aaun and King Alexander of Balian. Both of these men knew full well that they could not win a war against their adversaries should it come to such and knew, as a result, that their lives, those of their subjects, and the peace maintained in their realms were at stake. And yet both men, regardless of these odds, stood with the Holy Mother Church in Her time of need, remaining committed to Her defense. At this time, they put their trust not in their armies, in neither their cannons, bows nor swords, but instead totally and firmly in their Lord and God. 
 

And indeed, their great faith was rewarded. The ink had barely dried on the traitorous document as had war erupted in Petra. Constanz, the Archduke of Petra, was immediately outed as a subversive figure, and revealed to have been mongering for war against nations and institutions (such as the Church) which ought to have been her friends. The Archduchess rebuked him, begged God for forgiveness, and crushed that degenerate wormtongue in holy combat. At the same time, the Prince of Sedan lost his lofty seat and was forced to vassalise under Petra just to remain in power; the city and people which he had abandoned soon enough reclaimed and catered to by a proven, pious branch of his house. The King of Haense, for his own part, withdrew his support for the ultimatum, and accepted peaceful negotiations with the Church, later informing His Holiness the then High Pontiff Pontian IV that he had only signed the document so he could influence it and prevent an outright schism. 

As we can see, all three signatories of the ultimatum were either humbled or converted. God acted against each and every soul who opposed Him and His Church, and had them repent were they willing, or punished them were they not. And while these merciful acts were acts of God and God alone, the human participation in them cannot be understated. Our God is not a God who spectates and sits silent; He acts in our world, glorifying the just and humbling the iniquitous. Our God’s persecution of those who opposed him, His making them incapable of declaring their bloody war against the faithful of Aaun and Balian for their grave crime of fidelity, was an acknowledgement that these kingdoms and their rulers were holy and righteous. Charles and Alexander had successfully led their people against iniquity, as is the true role of all rulers, of all leaders.

With certainty it can be said that these two men were exemplary Canonist rulers, who acted not only for the worldly concerns of their subjects, but who bravely protected their faith, even in the face of grave odds. These men did not cower or falter, because their faith in God was stronger than any army that could ever have been set against them. Their faith was so strong that their people willingly followed them in this defiance, even as peril loomed. And for it, God humbled their enemies and showed each and every one of us how a model Canonist is to act.

It is for these reasons that we (my CANONIST law firm and our undisclosed clients) believe these virtuous and pious kings of Canondom ought to be venerated and revered, so that their example may teach the kings and commonfolk of the future how to act in dignity and faith. 

God bless you all,

Samuel V. Savoyard, Attorney-at-Law, Proud CANONIST.

i think we need like a staff hunger games where the losers all have to resign or rp in krugmar as punishment 

a higher % of world team members have been TOS banned than any other team

there's something about placing and breaking blocks in minecraft that turns you into a real sick **** n i wanna avoid a repeat

absolute block power corrupts absolutely

I didn't even know staffs had members.

edit: staves! 

why do we always have to ruin temp maps with obnoxious regioning and plugins. just put ppl on a survival world and tell them to go break blocks and build shitty little huts

sorta memey and ooc but you can't have super serious RP on such a short map anyway, so might as well give ppl smth to do instead of boring them with le epic dollhouse

Incredibly neat to see and good representation of the Hansetian/Teutonic Order elements as far as I can see! You've got the Aegis timeline correct as far as I remember.

 

I do want to ask, what are some lore concerning Kingdom of Balain and Mzen? Those names I do not recognize from Aegis-era lore unless it was created post-Aegis map which is fine, just want to learn more.

they're just lore places

never existed

1. Repeat after me @argonian: Ash-hadu la ilaha ilalaah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ur-Rasoolulaah. OOC banter aside, I played that Hochmeister character adhering to primitive monotheism. For real-life reasons, I avoid anything to do with polytheism or atheism, but also don't just import said real-life convictions copy-paste into the server.

 

2. It is true that I spawned in a million minas back in Aegis. Guilty as charged, but I am reformed.

 

3. That is a good question. I'll be honest, I don't know.

 

4. The Teutonic Cross represented the four limbs which we fought with. Jokes aside, we didn't really uphold any symbolic meaning for it.

 

5. Clapped them too many times to count. Thoughts of the many sieges of Al'Khazaar come to mind. I will say, hindsight being 20/20, I think those of us in the Teutonic Order back in 1.0 incidentally opened Pandora's Box by forming one of the first player-controlled nations and it is something that I think about occasionally whether nations should be staff-led or player-led. We made our case for starting Realm of Hanseti when Alras went a different route to achieve a player-operated nation via donations to the server.

 

6. Eam very happy you asked!

 

Cool shit.

Question 1 was because I heard Teutons worshipped a literal horse and I wanted to see was I being memed or not lol
