A machination of Reinmaren design, fashioned by Klaus, stood obedient with its bronze helmet with silver-chased face masque forged with a facial expression of forlorn. Its beaded eyes of blue tourmaline stared with a coldness impressing upon one who looked upon it that the machine had been forged for war.

I am going to keep an eye on this thread during this GMT shift. I ask that everyone, be you Christian, atheist, or otherwise maintain decency. Engage with each other respectfully and pay in mind that the forums of a multiplayer roleplaying game is not a viable place to influence or "flip" minds over to whatever position you may hold - be it theological, ideological, or otherwise. Please be sensible and note that, as the referee, I have latitude to interpret ambiguous or otherwise "trolling" replies from either side as being particularly baiting and/or bad faith. I hope all of you have a good day today and a merry time playing LotC! PS: I am debating handling the cross-fire posts that occurred in the American timezones last night from both sides. If I do, do not get upset if I cut down some fruits of the poisonous trees spawned by trolling replies. Certainly do not reply to them after this post though.

Greehn, hold my packet priority, I'm about to go Beast Mode.

𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅗𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅮 An eclectic cuboid collection of adobe-brick homes can be found off the paved path between Kaethul & Amathine towards the sea. Buttressed columns with geometric engraved designs flank & fence in a great tipi pitched in the courtyard of the puebloan complex. Expansive shuttered windows & curtained doors permit the flow of seaborne breezes to help cool the chambers of the Kwee pueblos and ornate Mihyaari low reliefs are carved at opposite sides of the complex facing outward. The masonry of such a complex has been completed, chiefly by the hands of Mahpiya Farisbarii & his youthful underlings Tomȯsévėséhe & Tsiishch’ili. The land on which the complex is cobbled atop has been paid for and letters have been dispersed seeking any and all Kwee - both of blood & of adoption of the tradition - who would be willing to be patron & caretaker of the puebloan apartments. Farisbarii has pledged 500 minas as an waqf - the Qalashi word for endowment - to ensure the pueblos are cared for & taxes paid for its continued use. Farisbarii has announced throughout Kaethul & throughout the southerly settlements of Aevos that if no Kwee' takes ownership of the puebloan homes, then they will be returned back to Kaethul for additional housing or for orphanage.

Thank you to all those who have expressed interest in having me join them as automatons/machine spirits. I will be transferring my Farisbarii character into a Machine Spirit with @Evonpire & will be playing an automaton with @Digit_005. I will be slowly wrapping up transferring Kwee ownership to another player over the next few weeks and transitioning to playing these two window-dressing characters after Ramadan. Cheers!

You gotta be careful Adam, that title is going to trigger some people! Banter aside, تقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال

I have decided to no longer play main characters/personas so that I can provide better support as a moderator both in-game (2nd in tickets currently) & on the forums. It has probably been a result of my storied time on the server introducing new guilds (Teutonic Order back in Aegis) & cultures (Subudai in early Asulon, Cingedoz in Almaris, Kwee'Hayastaani in Aevos) that has resulted in a feedback loop where I introduce a new culture/group entity & players tend to look to me to be the leader of said introduced culture/player-group. Unfortunately, I simply do not have the time to contribute to the server in this way and far prefer the younger folks to have fun in that regard. I do, however, enjoy transmitting lore, history, sciences into Minecraft books and like to contribute in this way. To this end, I had the novel idea of either PKing my current "main character/persona" & making an automaton or otherwise "window-dressing entity" or transfer my character into an automaton or "window-dressing entity" if that is possible. I am looking for at least two locations that I could be a book printer for. Do not expect me to play a main persona for you, though I don't mind the occasional interaction, but nothing sustained ergo I am fine playing an automaton that just gives visual & interactive detail in the background. I would also love to contribute in terms of lore-writing, environmental builds for your given location, and/or small architecture build support as I've improved markedly in my small builds - just don't expect me to be able to build a massive Minas Tirith build because I don't have that level of schematic/creative juice. Example of my Book Transmissions/Transcriptions PS: I am already booked to support @Minuvaswith a book project affecting Hokhmat. I am not scrapping that support and will see it finished.

Come lurk with me at the Kwee Pueblo mate

If only I had my mina spawn arc as a GM in Aegis now so I could pay you for so much art :(

Please refrain from the back & forth. Questions that are being queried directly or indirectly will get answers and/or may result in rule amendments & clarifications. If you'd like me to facilitate any questions, please message me on Discord.

After a very satisfying one-on-one with a particular admin. I like the approach.

I appreciate this decision extremely. Without revealing the details of discussion, I was adamant from the beginning about penalties needing to be doled out regarding the controversial report against Tabby64 & rukio13 and - though I was not reproached or admonished directly - I did have an uneasiness that my good reasoning would paint a target on my back by the prison guard as the community's meme went. Thank you so much for making this even-keeled decision.
