It’s incredible to see the players of LOTC view getting treated as a normal human being and a valued member of the community ‘special treatment’. How have you let the server become like that? A place where not being treated like dirt is considered ‘special treatment’. Special treatment? It should be normal treatment, everyone on this server should feel as though the GMs are sticking up for them, because that is precisely what they volunteered to do. The minimum expectation a player has is that the GMs will fight their corner for them just as equally as any other player on the server. Unfortunately, the server has devolved from that, to a place where quotas are put in place to monitor and regulations put in place to punish indiscriminately. There is something rotten to the core about all this, never before has such a level of scumbaggery been seen over something so trivial as a hobbit village on a minecraft roleplay server owned by a small group of friends.

If you're not a true Halfling and never have been, you will never understand the trials and tribulations when it comes to our lives on LOTC, we ask for very little really, nothing we ask for has any direct impact on anyone else on the server, yet we are bombarded with accusations of demanding special treatment, all we do is farm, drink and laugh. It's for the rest of the playerbase to be held to the RP quotas or whatever silly shite it is, we've never been mainstream and never will be, all we ask is to be left be, yet for most of the whiny playerbase that seems like to much. All these broken records chiming in on this thread just to get in the GM good books are the same type we've faced in the past to get what we need, unfortunately for us this type of person is the type that eventually gets into power and then we have to face it all again, it's a vicious cycle. At the end of the day none of this action is necessary at all, it's just a lack of judgement and ability of behalf of almost all staff who had a say, it's all behavior I've come to expect over my years on this server. It's so sad because all you need to do is change your mindset and it will all be fine and you would see that, but the stubbornness has survived now for too long and I have't seen a reprisal on the horizon for a long time, do whatever you want I won't waste any more time arguing my points about the server. I might however continue to chirp at some players because it's a guilty pleasure of mine to put people in their places.

Welcome to real life lad. Here's a nicely chilled pint and a packet of crisps, enjoy!

Love you to death buddy but surely you see the pointlessness of any world edit move when in fact it could just remain in exactly the same place requiring... hang on let me calculate this, square root of -1 to the power of 69... approximately 0 effort +/- 0.000000001 brain power points. edit- Clench up staff members, Cpt_Noobman is about with his puckered lips. editedit-

Being an Admin or a GM puts you in the firing line for peoples vented frustration, this should be acknowledged by all who even apply for the role, so what I don't understand is why every single time the GM's or whoever makes a decision that is likely to piss off a bunch of people, they immediately curl up and begin to cry at the thought of confrontation. If you cannot handle confrontation whether it be private or public then you are simply not fit to be a staff member, it's that simple really. Another GM requirement is sound judgement, something seemingly every one of you lack, rules need not be blanketed server-wide without regard, use your best judgement for what is best in that situation. Lastly, there needs to be accountability, stop passing blame like school kids, someone must make the final decisions so just man up, do it and then admit you did it later on. Now to the shenanigans, Firstly, this whole Halfling business is so incredibly dumb it is unreal, just drop the thing and move on, why is there even any discussion on destroying anything or moving anything, activity quotas are dumb and so is the resulting forfeit when you become inactive. Secondly, Halflings have always been a small secluded sometimes inactive and quiet race, this is just how it is, people generally float in and out of Halfling life because that is what is attractive about it. To try and change that by making their lives much harder will just drive everyone away from the race and is dumb, special treatment is really just a non issue with such a small race and anyone with a problem with a halfling fast travel or the like is really just a small kid crying about his shorter list of amenities which he thinks he deserves for choosing a bland race full of other greedy kids. Thirdly, unban Dalek348, even if you think he is corrosive or however stupidly you put it, that lad has the nuts and brains to call people on dumb decisions and you should value that ability rather than scorn and silence it, he's a long standing member with a history of being absolutely correct about almost everything and you should really be rewarding him for his undying effort throughout the years. Time to get real and stop acting like the kings and queens of the sandbox. edit: For those silly kids who keep referring to Halfling concerns and genuine discussion as shitposting and spam, how about you stop practicing what you're preaching you utter morons, whether this offends your pretty forum feed or not we don't care, we will discuss things until it is sorted, for that is how adults handle things. Parkins mate since the dawn of time little necromancer groups have been bundling about trying to be all scary and it rarely ever becomes more than an undead copycat group so I'd go as far as saying you deserve whatever issues befall you, whereas Halflings have 100x the depth of your little dead man walking act.

Indeed it is! But I do believe it has been addressed already, I would also hope that it would be easy to see the solution to said problem, seeing as hunger for power and material possession is a very real and expectable thing in life and RP and therefore it has very obvious solutions of a less out-of-game nature. Would it not be expectable to react accordingly? Hire a guard, carry a sword, travel off the beaten track? This is the essence of roleplay and is what provided the majority of my fun here on this server, I think it's about time these (not calling you out here buddy, it's a general statement) self proclaimed 'good' roleplayers realised this.

I would refer you to my hasty edit on the previous post of mine, I added that before getting a peep at this beauty.

No one woke up after a nasty dream of a bad RP fight and then suddenly decided to change the rules. The staff have seen it as clear as any player (because in most cases they are players...) and they've also had enough of the shite that RP fighting unwillingly trails behind it. That brings us here today, trying still to decide. And if you would so kindly check my past posts you might see that I have been quite active in the promotion of PVP over the past few months, and so your wildly incorrect statements are yet again disproved, it is simply now that the silent supporters of PVP have opened up because they see their cause is supported by many (It also helps that the opposition are unable to ever form a reasonable counter argument ;p). EDIT: Just to get a bit of closure, I would also kindly request that this bullshit about 'betar compooter win gaim' or 'moar monaz therefor pay to win pvp' be removed from everyone and anyone's mind. It simply bears no relevance to the bigger picture, there is no obligation for the vast majority of the servers playerbase to sacrifice their enjoyment and/or wishes because someone cannot afford a computer capable of running the game it uses as a base. You shouldn't buy a game if you can't run it to any sort of acceptable standard, it's like buying fuel for a car when you can't afford to buy a car to use it in.

And now after considering all the good it did for us, we're thinking about changing back... trial and improvement baby.
