  3. Why doesn't someone who is often online, and in popular violent areas start a thread for monitoring violence, I have seen many villains come forth claiming they are doing it the right way, and avoiding excessive combat and trollyness. "I believe most of you", We don't want to ban all villains that much is clear, but want to root out the trouble makers. Start a thread, which is simply. "State who killed you, where, what time, and any details you want to give. With the final question being, "Was this RP entertaining and worthy of your time? Perhaps if done well enough we can add it as a rule for Murders, "Not all VA actions" As Murder in any form should be a last resort, and No one should be allowed to walk around killing without second thought. I know some will complain it is a chore, but these actions directly effect "possibly negatively" the server. Which is why restrictions were placed on them in the first place. In the end we'll be able to see who is creating mass murder, and who is defending them self/occasional killings.
  4. *Seeing a note upon the ground picks it up and reads it. *Speaking softly to herself from within the temple, "Seems folly to think that Samuel is 'Land', I would think he is free to come and go as he pleases, it should be considered an honor that such a noble creature wishes to rest so close to the monks. Perhaps I shall have to plea to Argyll on the druids behalf. Perhaps to much time studding the ancient battles in my library has made him forget the meaning of neutrality.
  5. Congratulations Everyone, Another Prophecy come true Sparrow. @Aislin If you use these powers to copy my books, I will haunt every future version of yourself.
  6. ((Any weapon can be repaired and reforged. I don't think its current condition would lessen the value any, If anything its history sounds like it is even more valuable. Leyu would be more than happy to display such a piece if the highest bidder wished to have it displayed in relative safety for the younger generation of Anthos.))
  7. Thats kind of the point though, and the direction I think we need to move toward. The total removal of VA's will only worsen the problems. Making them more restrictive will make people who play villains more unhappy than those who are currently affected by the poor ones. But, we do need a system that lets characters "Get angry, and do things they might not normally do" Such as take up pitch forks and raid the kings castle because his tax's are too high. What we don't want is everyone turning into a serial killer during the night, and normal again during the day "A few of these are ok, but very limited" A blanace will need to be struck, and it can't be done without breaking a few eggs.
  8. It shouldn't be about winning, but it is. However, it should be about "good" winning ultimately. Anything less would be less than desirable for a role play, it is the reason why most movies portray the hero surviving, and overcoming adversity. Anything less would be to realistic. Which is what some seem to strive for in RP. Breaking the rest down, I didn't say each suggestion was going to be favorable. But the situation we are in is less than favorable as well. Farmer Billy shouldn't require a VA to stand up to the nobility, this is something that should be looked at separately with interest. "Edgies" Shouldn't be able to randomly attack villains, who aren't...or haven't recently preformed villainous activity. The only way to get players to do less of something, is to make it less desirable. Make it difficult to acquire minas...less players will have them. Make it harder for new players to learn to play on the server, we get less players. Make playing villains "costly and time consuming" Less players will play them. They will move on to playing Royalty/Faction based conflict characters, Or Merchant/Farmer more society based characters....or simply stop playing all together. Sometimes you have to toss a few bad apples to save the rest. It's unfortunate but required. As always, I encourage other ideas, instead of complaints. And challenge that for every point of criticism everyone off a counter idea to better it. In hopes that at the end of the thread most have come to a common agreement.
  9. I'll go too 1200 for the Skeletal Staff. -Says Leyu
  10. Another unfavorable solution to this is, Add a restriction to VA's that require them to lose. Not 100% of the time, but so that they OOCly decide with those RPing with them if they are going to win or lose before hand. The original role of VA characters was not the enjoyment of playing such a character, but to add enjoyment for those "model" citizens around. This was what made finding villains rare. Movies might portray villains and thieves as common in medieval times, but I think you would find this historically inaccurate. As such behavior was dealt with far more harshly than today's laws allow.
  11. *Listens to the crowds for a while, trying to peek over to see if anything is worth displaying in the Oracles Museum. "Hmm no books. how unfortunate. I'll bid 300 on the Skeletal Staff, that seems like a rather unusual piece." "Also, It seems few are interested in the white stone, it would likewise be nice on display, What are your reserves for a few pieces?"
  12. How would you suggest going about this? I have a few suggestions myself but they are far to controversial to even mention. The best solution I can think of at least for a limited time, or temporarily. "And it would take some Mythical God Power of a story to explain why it would happen" is. Remove MC PVP, Make it so you can swing all day and night and do no damage to another play. It would force guards to RP solutions, arrest, restrain, exile.....when is the last time you have seen a king exile someone! How interesting it would be if we went peaceful for a few weeks or months.... I wonder how many players we have, that are here more for the combat than rp that we could shed. I am fine with losing a few pvp minded souls, for the betterment of RP.
  13. ((That is the question, Was it one of her Ascended staffs. Although its diamond tipped which would be very unusual. or a Walking stick she used....or a total fake.))
  14. Even though the community enjoys the 2nd logo, I would suggest droping "The" off of it, Everyone is fairly used to LotC, The Lord of the Craft is remembered by us oldtimeys.

  15. More responsibility = Less time to play LotC, Sounds like a demotion to me. Grats Viper Grats BNK Together you shall cause great havoc upon the Admins, and Events.
  16. Congratulations Viper I am sure you will be an excellent whip cracker. One question though, if your role as Admin is "Team Leader King (TLK)" Who will take up the admin responsibilities that Danny held? Should we be expecting another Admin addition soon? :)
  17. Sign me up for Dungeon Making, I'd love to give a hand at it. "And it'll let me toss together some themed book collections for loot." Also, can the LWC signs be locked from the back of the shelf? I think bookshelves with signs on the front look terrible. +3 for the updates though, any book locks are greatly appreciated! And the other stuff too.
  18. Fair-well Dannyo, I hope you shall return under and appropriate alias and RP with those who wish to remain unknown. Your time was well served, I am certain others will take up the torch into 4.0 and hear your words with wisdom. As with a few others when their time came also, I ask that you contact me when your not overwhelmed for a short conversation. Who knows perhaps you shall one day join the Esteemed team of Developers. All I ask is, If you do. Please link the video clip "Developers Developers Developers" by Steve Ballmer -It never gets old.
  19. Whats wrong with white Ptah? The Mother tree of the Oracles is white......And white is a pure color. I think a white forest would contrast the dark shadiness that is inevitable for giant trees. Perhaps the elves wont have to live in dark shadows full of yucky spiders for once. As for me, I agree a simple name would be good. I suggest Talar'Ibar or Ibar'Talor "someone more savvy in Elvish could correct that please and thank you." Meaning White Horizon Or White Place between heaven and Earth. To me a Giant tree is physically a place between Heaven and Earth, as well as carrying the spiritual connections of making a good name for the Elves. And is also easy to say, and easily shortened to Either Tal or Tal'Ib
  20. When Shamans call upon your name, What blessing shall those worthy expect to receive?
  21. Only one question really, and although its not important on the surface or immediate. It's an ongoing concern that has been not met since Aegis. With the migration of each map, the loss of items is an unfortunate but often necessary side effect. The general convince of those of us that preserve knowledge however would be for a method of transferring books. A few suggestions have helped in the past, such as massive Wiki projects and the addition of Tomes into dungeon loot. Even with these, I fear many stories shall be lost. Thanks!
  22. Where to put this in the library....I shall have to confuse and muddle so many sections to make it work.
  23. There should be a rule against players halting RP for any sort of rule breaking. I have always adopted the "Go with it, and explain it as some mysterious force, or unknown magic. You should never stop with something like....."Lets get a GM or LM to approve this" It takes the fun out of the RP. This is Lord of the Craft, Not Lord of the Rules. Where the "Craft" is the story. If a book had to pause every 2min for a rule check, or GM ruling it would be a terrible disaster.
  24. or make us all GMs so we can tele....I'm sure no one will abuse the abilities.
  25. Perhaps Elder Wood comes from Eldertress, and not Elder Trees. "One space makes all the difference"
