Old-Rattlesnake

I think a lot of folks would agree with me that’s its better to stay in an out-of-date, yet stable version of minecraft. For the first time in like a fuckin’ year we’ve finally got MPM that works on LoTC and it’s incredibly vital to a lot of RP communities. Halflings should be smol, god ******* damn it.

I’m asking this more out of personal curiosity than anything but how possible would it be to have a deity that is of neither Aengulic nor Daemonic origin? Specifically what I had in mind was a deity with voidal origin, if not the void itself. We’ve seen so far that it’s certainly capable of producing exceptionally powerful beings worthy of worship.

Not sure if you guys are aware of this but years of the Staff not giving a **** about fostering a healthy relationship between players (or themselves and the players) has resulted in a pissing contest of how shitty people can be to each other without getting reprimanded for it. This post changes absolutely nothing and, as can be seen from nearly all of these posts, is being taken as a complete joke. Because it is.

Players are incapable of any hostility RP without escalating it to extend to the people behind the screen. This is true of every combating faction on the server. The trouble with Holy and Dark is that we then get lore arms races where everyone keeps trying to one-up each other. Also members of the opposing group infiltrating an enemy on an alt or new character then doing stupid **** with the magic to cause chaos from within.

Doesn’t matter. If we jack up the cost of raids the only thing that changes is the amount of idiots spamming in their respective discords to vote so they can fund raids with the minas payout.

Been checking every day since the CT chests went up. Still nothing. Made a modreq asking for more information, and it was closed without a response. I’ve been given no information, and my attempts to get information are falling on deaf ears.

There are people who still don’t have all their vault items back. Can that be prioritized before moving forward? We’ve been waiting months for our stuff. I’ve been waiting on my staff to be converted and turned over since before the map change.

The only thing I’ll bring up is how wordy and bureaucratic the tenets have become, but that’s not explicitly the fault of you guys. Remember I spent months trying to come up with a solution that was self-moderating and unbiased and I’ve recently come to the conclusion it’s simply not possible. Any magic inherently tied to a group and regulated by that group is going to see some degree of OOC corruption and holy magic has been and continues to be one of the worst offenders. That’s all I have to say on the matter, it’s not my beast to tame anymore and I’m not going to show up like a ghost from the past and tell you how to run your show. (Lowkey tho holy **** the amount of angry toddler screeching in this thread)

There's some overlap here with the Tears of Aeriel lore. My 2 cents are: > Tears of Aeriel is more focused as a water theme in general. Blessed Waters is a bit out of left field in comparison to the rest of the rewrite. > Astral pools give a constant, passive effect which is more manageable and simple than the healing effect of Blessed Waters. Who is going to track whether a pool has actually been used 7 times a day? What if someone doesn't document their use? Someone would need to look at the lore to determine a difference between a T2 healing spell vs a T3 healing spell.

Asended cannot regenerate limbs or organs. If it’s badly mangled but still effectively there, it’ll regenerate. IE someone scrambled your eye. If someone cuts off a finger and throws it in a lake it’s gone forever.

Ascended holy healing is just fine and perfectly balanced. We have never had a complaint against it. Very recently my character encountered a horribly injured high elf and absorbed the wounds unto himself, then spent three IRL days laid up in their clinic regenerating from the injuries. The consequence of injury still very much exists it’s just transferred from one person to another.

Sexual/Romantic relations between an Ascended and a spook gets shut down these days as often as possible. In the past the ideal of 'redemption' has often resulted in newer or more emotional members falling in love with the spook they're trying to cure and vice versa. Which is, you know, roleplay but it's hella complicated to try and moderate. When is it too much? Are they in a romantic relationship secretly? How spooky is too spooky? The Ascended who became a living meme for being in a sexual relationship with a frost witch was removed many months ago.

I cant speak for why the Ascended returned at that time. The players responsible, that being 501warhead, Blundermore, Saira, LadyKakyuu, and JCQuiinn will have to speak for themselves. I joined afterward and had no part in that. But I will say I’m proud of our playerbase regardless of what name they go under.

We actually did lose all our powers until a rewrite happened in late Anthos, several years later. The Ascended who were mods at that time all left in the Haven event to my knowledge thought I might be wrong. Even if all of this is true, is it worth punishing the playerbase that exists now because of the actions of a few 7 years ago? The sins of the father are not the sins of the son.

As it stands the tenets of Ascended clearly state that political positions need to be abandoned and not sought after. The line was toed for a very long time, but we were assured the currently held position as a lesser Prince was elected and I, personally, fought on that side of the argument and defended his acquisition of the position. When new Ascended were being also recruited into the guard force, we knew a line was being crossed and dispatched an Ascended to inform them that this was going too far. The messenger was met with intimidation and nearly assault. At that point it was established that things had gone too far. In Ascended culture a cycle of what ‘is’ and ‘is not’ natural known as the Soul Cycle exists, and it’s a bit excessive but the general idea is that Mortals are born, their soul matures, they die and go to the Soulstream. Dark magic perverts the soul and disrupts this cycle by condemning them to Abrietas. The Ascended are enlisted to exist outside of this cycle, in a manner much similar to dark creatures, to prevent this perversion. In this, the mortal progression of the soul remains unblemished. An Ascended going rogue, by that logic, is therefore comparable to a dark creature; as their purpose has now been violated. What happened was not spur of the moment. I defended the opposing sect for a very long time despite others telling me I should not. Chances were given. This was not, in any way, an OOC slight made against the opposition.

The reasoning used in character these days is not that the Ascended fight Iblees, they fight what is called the ‘Legacy of Iblees’ which may be shorterned to just ‘The Legacy’. The idea being that the actions of the traitorous Daemon inspired copycat actions by other sources, I.E. the Daemon Asura who is prevalent in Paladin lore, or the surge in dark magic research by purely mortal means, like Necromancy.

1. Ascended magic is undergoing a rework focusing on making the magic less restrictive and more open to alternative groups. 2. If you see someone powergaming or metagaming report it. Don’t whine and cry on the forums behind their back without naming names. This is common sense. Don’t contribute to an already toxic community, try and make it better. 3. There’s a whole lot of salty people in here upset that we actually understand and abide by raid rules. 4. Ascended had a community vote to shelve the magic recently and it seemed to have been a majority in favor. However the consequences of this which were proposed by the LT would have resulted in permadeaths of 4-5 Ascended characters, some who have been alive and fleshed out for years. So instead we’re looking to fix a few things as mentioned in 1.

Has my total approval. This lore brings the Ascended, Aeriel, and Abrieiates lore a little closer and on the same page.
