  1. Do they manage LoTC?  No.  Can they do anything about this?  No.  The administration does, if they even want to do anything.

     

    Players have every right to worry. Worrying and doing something are two different things

  2. They aren't technically a part of LoTC anymore. Not sure if that gives them leeway in using a collection of e-mails but... shrug. 

     

    It does not, especially if its using information gained from LoTC and used to advertise another server. Its like a Microsoft executive leaving and using the information he had at Microsoft to advertise his owner company, which is a legal no-no.

    All three applications receive a white rose, with a note attached "Welcome. At the gates of Oren, you will find Order.

    This application also receives a white rose, but has a special note attached. "Though you are welcome in the Order, you have much to learn about right and wrong, good and evil. Wait in Noble, and we will find you."

  6. Application For the Order:

    Out of Character information

    [MCname]: Crippledbaboon

    [Age]: 16

    [Time-Zone]: GMT +0 England

    [How much time you can be online per day]: I can manage a couple hours every day, if need be.

    [How long have you been playing on the server?]: I've been a member since August 2011, but I haven't been playing all of that time. I've played for just over a year, roughly.

    [Why do you, as a player, want to join the Order?]: Although I've got planned things to do roleplay-wise (people to meet, places to go) I've been finding a lot less rp than hoped, so hopefully this will help me out.

    [Do you have TS?]: Indeedy

    [Do you have a Skype?]: I have Skype, but Windows 8 isn't pretty at all. So my best Skype's on my phone.

    In Character Information

    Name: Sircaylin Burtart

    Have you read, and understood, the Creed?: Of course, it seems rather well thought-out.

    Race: You could say I'm an Elf, if you like.

    Age: 79 251 140 something.

    Experience: I saw my fair share of blood in Aegis, some of it my own. Trust a stranger's word, I'll be of use to you.

    Why do you wish to join?: If you really are from Aegis, you've already got me in. It's been a while since I've met someone from "ye' ol' lands", I'd feel a little better knowing I've got someone who's seen their own fair share to watch my back.

    Describe your personality: I keep myself to myself. Though I'm not going to be going anywhere when the going gets tough, I never have. I'm not a fool, so don't think I'll be going around inviting my flowery friends to come pick daisies on our doorstep. If I don't have trouble with you, you won't have trouble with me. Respect isn't the same story, unless I know you've proved yourself. I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

    Describe your personal attributes: I'm an Elf, so I don't exactly leave muddy footprints trailing after me. I'm light on my feet, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and I can 'do my job' from a modest distance when the situation demands it. Tactics and strategies are my game, I'm the man with a plan and the confidence to execute it alone if required.

    Personal Biography: Ask the next guy, and you'll get the same response I'd imagine. A dull life, if Aegis ever had one. I grew up in Al'khazar, worked for Dawn's Bakery to put bread on the gutter then when the time came I enlisted into the Rangers. Like I said, bad things happened from there and I wasn't exactly living the sweet life in Asulon, but I got-by. So here I am, looking to get some hard work done again. I'm sure we can talk about me more over a candle-lit dinner if you'd like.

    Will you be one hundred percent loyal to the Order? Do you consider yourself a loyal person?: You won't be needing a dagger under your pillow when you sleep to say the least. I don't bite...friends.

    Who or what have you been loyal to in the past, such as other guilds or organizations. Are you still loyal to them now? Explain why/why not?: I was a Ranger, long ago. We got spread, disbanded, dead. You know how it is.

    Some Additional Out of Character Questions

    [show me you know how to talk in OOC:] ((What's OOC? Lol)) - I'd only really use OOC if a group of people had to be addressed for something. If someone directly adressed me in L/OOC I'd simply message them in response.

    [Will you, both ICly and OOCly, commit yourself to being part of the Order?]: Indeed I will. I'll be sure to dedicate the majority of my time on the server towards the Order.

    EDIT - 700th post!

    Application For the Order:

    Out of Character information

    [MCname]:blackhawk77g

    [Age]: 16

    [Time-Zone]: PST

    [How much time you can be online per day]: 1-3 hours

    [How long have you been playing on the server?]: Since early Aegis.

    [Why do you, as a player, want to join the Order?]: For some time I've been intent on having my character expand on what his RP has progressed into. In the Order, I would like to do something along the lines of "bookkeeper" and maintain information on everything that is needed.

    [Do you have TS?]: Yes

    [Do you have a Skype?]: Yes

    In Character Information

    Name: Dun Irongut

    Have you read, and understood, the Creed?: Yes.

    Race: Dwarf

    Age: 70

    Experience: I am intent on learning all that I can. I am a simple Dwarf by name. A trader, a brewery, a nephew, a politician, and a philosopher. I have done many things in my short life and seen much. I suppose this is just another opportunity to gain experience. I hope that if you accept me, it yields much more.

    Why do you wish to join?: I wish to join a group where benefits can be mutual. To gain a group of friends honor and cherish. Instead of writing that kind of crap, I refer to the first sentence. To be frank, simply I wish to provide my services in information keeping.

    Describe your personality: I am honorable, at least that is what I believe. Perhaps you will judge for yourself? Regardless, I enjoy reading, writing, and discussion. However, when I must enter in a fight, I will.

    Describe your personal attributes: I am a Dwarf, that is really all you need to know, as much can be inferred from that. But I will tell you that I would prefer to remove my accent and associate myself with Humans often. I also enjoy a strong brew of Vodka, so I suppose the best way to describe me would be almost a stereotype.

    Personal Biography: I was born in the icy wastes of Hanseti, in Asulon, some time ago to a father that cared little and a mother who I don't know. That's not to say I hated my bastard of a father, but he was a bastard nonetheless. I traveled for years, meeting many and earning many friends until I finally stumbled upon the dwelling of my father, Kal'Dwain. It turned out he was dead, so I ended up joining my clan and earning their respect. During this time, I studied religion and learned much about the Dwarven god Dungrimm. I entered service in Dwarven politics and did much, but that should be discussed at a later date, as it's not important quite yet. All and all, I've gone through my life learning. That is what I will mention several times here and it is the truth. I wish to learn what you have to offer and in turn, I will provide what I have to offer.

    Will you be one hundred percent loyal to the Order? Do you consider yourself a loyal person?: I am loyal and I will be loyal to the order, if the same respect is given to me. I intend to build something in this "order" and I don't wish to be killed while doing it. So, with that said, yes, I will be loyal and I am a loyal person.

    Who or what have you been loyal to in the past, such as other guilds or organizations. Are you still loyal to them now? Explain why/why not?:I have always been loyal to my clan, which is an extended family of sorts. They have taken me in and provided hospitality and I have provided the same to them, in times of peace and in times of need. I think it is fair to say that those I am loyal to deserve it and it is because of this that I remain loyal. But to answer your fears as to whether or not I will be loyal to this group, the simple answer would be if a document such as this were to be used against me, I would do what needs to be done. But if trust is kept, then no issues should arise and perhaps friendships can be developed, eh?

    [show me you know how to talk in OOC:] ((I prefer tells, but brackets or double parenthesis are the norm for talking in OOC.

    [Will you, both ICly and OOCly, commit yourself to being part of the Order?]: Mhm. I've really wanted to find an order/group for a while without starting my own, so I can build on to others RP instead of creating my own entirely. It looks like a fun and fresh experience, so hey, why not?

    As you walk along the road, you find a small book lying on the side of the road. It appears to be dusty and worn from many handlings. Much of the book is damaged and unreadable. The cover has a strange seal stamped onto it.

    DSvCx.png

    Flipping through the book, it appears to be a recruitment book for some kind of organization. You flip to the first page.

    [For those who don't want to read on:

    You never notice the small book and continue on your journey]

    The organization known as The Order began as an idea decades ago, back in the days of Aegis when the Undead were still feared creatures and not creatures used to scare children into behaving. It was conceived by a group of men, all from different races and rankings. They sought to create an organization that operated in the shadows, protecting those who needed protection and killing those who deserved a swift death. They sought to bring some semblance of safety in the war-torn Aegis, so that families need not worry about when they will perish, or if they will see their families again. But before this idea could manifest into reality, Al'Khazar fell, and quickly along with it, the rest of the world. Of the group, only one survived and managed to escape into the Verge. This man, known as-

    The rest of the page is ripped away, looking as if a rabbit had been nibbling at it. You continue to the next legible section.

    -ttling down in this mysterious new world called Asulon, he postponed the creation of this dream, due to the need to focus on bigger priorities, such as building the city and new-found love. But when he finally had the chance to realize this dream him and his late friends envisioned, he once again postponed. Not sure that this organization was needed at the time, he decided to create another organization, the P-

    The page once again cuts off, this time appearing to be due to water damage. Large portions of the next few sections are also unreadable. You finally find the next readable section almost halfway through the book. This section appears to be more of a journal, rather than history. While legible, there are many areas that are illegible due to water damage.

    Alas, I have once again arrived at some unknown land. Many of my fellow travelers call this play Elysium, or something of the sorts. The name really is of no consequence to me. I must find my friends, see who made it to these lands. Perhaps they know where C-

    -ren seems to have established itself in the valley bordering the ocean. How the engineers managed to bore through the entire mountain to create a passage in such a short time eludes me. I still cannot find my family. Did they not make it to Elysium? I must continue to sear-

    -ot find them. I pray that they managed to make it, and are simply too occupied with other matters to come search for me. I must move on. Perhaps I will find them in the future. For now, I must focus on the matter at hand. To-

    -gmen attacked Oren today. They descended from the mountains around Oren, attacked everyone relentlessly. They caught everyone by surprise and managed to push into the city before anyone even knew what was happening. Fortunately, they were pushed out of the city swiftly when the city rallied and fought back. The assault continued for the rest of the night, but the walls of Oren held firm. What worries me is not the attack, but why. Something is afoot here, and I do not like it.

    Illegible print

    Its been two weeks. The base is complete.

    The Order has been formed.

    The journal ends here. On the final page, in golden ink, the final passage is written.

    There is a signature on the last page, but it is too smeared to make out. Deciding to take the book back home for further study, you stow it away in your bag.

    [OOC Note: Those who are interested in joining, proceed to emote B. To those who are not, proceed to emote A.]

    A: The next time you check inside your bag, the book has vanished, and in its place is a single black rose. You pick the rose up and sniff it, its acrid smell entering your nostril. You quickly toss the rose away and continue on your journey. Slowly, the memories of the book fade from memory, until it is completely and irrevocably forgotten.

    B: The next time you check inside your bag, the book has vanished, and in its place is a single sheet of parchment.

    To whoever this may concern:

    We have sensed that you are interested in joining the Order. Fill this form out, and we will send out a man to come speak to you.

    OOC Note:

    While we do assassinate when required, we aren't a purely assassin group. We do other activities besides assassinations also. Just putting that out there!

  9. There are all types of bodies. I admit that.

    But what I am talking about is legit, weightlifting, mountain lion wrestling, strong-enough-to-knock-a-tree-down-with-bare-hands STRENGTH.

    Yes, you can have lean muscle and not bulk up a lot. That is a thing that can happen. But those bodies are still not built for wrestling mountain lions. Lean people are built for different things. Runners and swimmers, who are built for endurance, are obviously not pudgy.

    But endurance =/= strength. That is endurance. It is not strength. A twig guy is not going to be lifting massive weights. There are some pretty trim weightlifters, but none of them are built like Michael Phelps. They are mostly bulky people.

    Your OP doesn't really convey that. The OP seems to say that you must be fat to be strong.

  10. Actually, fat and strength have nothing to do with each other. Fat is related to endurance. The body uses fat when the body runs out of quick access fuel, which is usually carbohydrates. The Olympic lifter is fat because he needs it to balance himself out. He doesn't need fat because lifting doesn't require so much fuel that he runs out of carbs. If he was light, the weight of the weights would make him topple over.

    I think what you're trying to say is that fat men can be strong, but it comes across as only fat men can be strong.
