Just because some1 wins some rando's tournament does not mean they are the best pvper lol 

No ofcourse not, it only means that they are better than everyone who they have beaten, and the people who didn't join the tournament, because they are chickens. I am sensing that people are afraid to lose to some random scrub? mmm chickens?

Yes, I utterly disgust PvP on the server, however that does not mean that I hate PvP in general. You can join up, unless you like the sound of chicken??

Greetings people.

I've decided to throw together a 1v1 PvP tournament aswell as a survival games.

1v1 PvP Tournament.

Do you think that you are the best PvP'er on Lord of the Craft? Well, now is the chance to test your skills!

I've decided to put together an LotC 1v1 PvP tournament, to finally see who the best PvP'er on the server really is. You must remember that this tournament is official business, which means that if you lose, you can no longer claim that you are the best PvP'er on LotC. However if you win, you get to call yourself the best of the best. Now, you may ask yourself; "what about the people who didn't enter this tournament, some might still be better than me?" Well to that I answer, that the people who do not enter this tournament, will automatically be deemed chickens, and they each get a chicken with their name on it.

Now what is in for you if you win? Well as we all know, there can only be 1 winner. This means that the total winning prize is 1000 Minas (I'm poor), possibly more if I can get GM assistance. Plus the exclusive prize of being able to call themselves the best PvP'er on LotC, which ultimately leads to extreme bragging rights.

The tournament will be 1.9, if you dislike this, suck it up. The server that will be used, is located in France. "BUT DAT MEAN DAT TEH SERVER WIL LAG FO AMIRICAN PPL!1!". No, the server has already been tested, and there is little to no difference between having it located on the east coast of the US or in France, suck it up.

The Date:

Saturday the 11. at 8pm BST otherwise known as 3pm EST.

Survival Games

This is more for the fun of having 20 to 30 people running around bashing eachother in the head with wooden sticks. No, in all seriousness, the Survival games is made for people who still want to join the fun, but more so want to chill with a group of people. The survial games will be in teams of 2 or 3 (Depending on the amount of people joining), and hosted on the same server as the 1v1 tournament. There is a small prize of 300 Minas for the winners, but remember that this event is more relaxed than the other one, so there's no reason to be mad or salty about anything regarding this.

So join this event if you want to hang with a friend, and fight other people for fun. While also avoiding getting your name hung up as a chicken. 

The Date:

Sunday the 5. at 4pm BST otherwise known as 11pm EST.

I don't get it, but hey.. It was very well written! However fom an ignorant standpoint, by shutting this "freedom squad" down, don't we just prove the point of their existence?

Anyway, roleplay is about creating fun for the counterpart, therefore i completely agree that people who doesn't grasp this concept, should be shut down.

How many people were in the "Fantasy Forest" building theme? Because I think I've seen natural generated worlds more interesting.

Wtf is wrong with a bit of communism or collectivism? Better teach those "liberal" fucks a thing or two about collaboration, but watch out, you might learn something. Can you just fly back to your own country on that bald eagle of yours, instead of having "peace-keeping forces" in every corner of the world, *******  'muricans.

PS: This is is only within the LotC community, and it's only for fun.

Nice status update pal, sry that it became a useless thread instead.

Updated with 3 step plan to make LotC great again.

+ added color for flare.

Alright, I'm gonna just go over why this Survey is the most ******* ridiculous thing, that it just flabbergasted me completely. Now bare with me, I am not writing this because I dislike Surveys, but this is just.... NO.

Defender Default

Surprisingly, a larger majority showed positive support for defender default than expected as you can see above. Only about 15% of the server disapproves of it now, so I think its safe to say that this system is a success and we’ll be using it for the foreseeable future.

To improve the system the most consistent open response questions essentially called for the staff to specify what exactly a defender is, to take out the vagueness in some situations.

Lets start with this then. "Surprisingly, a larger majority showed positive support for defender default". First of... The question was, 'Do you agree with the IMPLEMENTATION of defender default', not 'Do you support defender default', and true, defender default is indeed a nice middleground for the server, as a way to make everyone happy, but that was not the question..

Raid Rules

I honestly was surprised about this one. Our community is notoriously opinionated about raiding and raid-related topics, in one form or another. However, the majority of respondents were simply unopinionated towards them.  

As it stands, those who dislike the raid rules form a slightly, but still notably larger segment that those who approve of it. I will bring this up at the next staff meeting.

Now this one... Oh boy... Essentially, I want you to see the "I have no opinion of them" as either, "I don't give a ****" or "I don't know them" or "I don't give a **** to know them". Perhaps it is due to the large amount of players, (especially new ones) who doesn't have a group to play with, or a nation to join, or people to go raid with. I think you need to reevaluate what the actual problem is.

The LOTC Economy

The playerbase concurs with the staff on this one, in that trying to stimulate the importance of the mina and create a more realistic economy is fairly important for the health of the server. Supporting comments praised the immersion, healthy competition and etc that comes out of it.

Suggestions to improve the economy are too diverse to summarize. Though a recurring comment was that nations should be in charge of their own economies moreso than through staff intervention.

Yeah... Nice question... It's like asking someone "How important to you is it that Orange juice remains orange?". There's litterally nothing that you can draw from this. It would have been different if you would have given 4-5 subjects, and then had people priorities them in order. However this, i don't know how your gonna draw any context whatsoever.

* I don't even want to go into the Nexus Plugin, that's for a serperate thread *

Player/Staff Relations

Once again, I wasn’t expecting such a large chunk of people to answer with no opinion. Everyone in this community seems to have some viewpoint on this topic, but if anything, this poll teaches us a lesson about the power of a vocal minority.

When asked how relations could be improved, most of you responded with something along the lines of more transparency, more communication and more say for the regular player before big changes in the server.

This one is probably the most fun one, and I would like to go back to the beginning where you litterally proves the point that the staff is so disconnected from the community that they even get surprised by their own flippin' surveys... Like what the ****... I think most of the players who answered this survey, doesn't have the "GM to Nations buddy buddy relations" that most 'veteran' players does. They don't know what relation there /is/ to take into consideration..

The rest of the survey is just a bunch of numbers that you manage to vaguely describe.. What conclusions the moderation team may come up with.. I have no clue, and honestly, this is just... ARGH! So disconnected from everything that is happening..

Love the poetry bro, unique way to voice an opinion. I for one think you've got some talent. Kind of weird it's being used here, but by all means don't stop now.

 

On the topic though, since it seems mentioned here as Roleplay combat versus PvP, they each have their functions. While PvP is obnoxious, it too holds purpose and while many dislike it, just as many like it for it's uses.

 

PvP:

+Ends combat quickly.

+Easier to involve multiple people.

+Gives everyone an 'even' chance to start with.

- "You only won because of your orc buff!"

- People who train PvP so they can be the best warrior.

- Farmers killing you because they are l33t swordsman.

 

RP:

+ More dynamic combat.

+ Better expression of both the character and the actions.

+ Allows for both players to debate how actions should be, along with give some spice to it.

- Takes forever.

- Allows Power-gaming.

- The amount of martial arts ninjas running around.

 

While we all have our preferences, both have reasons to enjoy them, and by respecting those reasons we can come together as a community rather than have these debates over PvP or RP default. Defender's Default makes it possible to experience both, and enjoy a good time on the server. While it may not be too fun for you, the guy who wants to do Magic or the warrior who needs a quick PvP may want to have their fun too. Sometimes it's best to bite the bullet, and let the community have a good time. 

 

Thank you for your compliment.

In regards to what you said; I am not all for RP default because I want to have full RP default on the server. I am here for a counterbalance. If you have people who are fully for PvP default, you have to have someone with a loud voice, who is fully for RP default, so you can meet mid-way. Defenders default was a nice step in the right direction, but it's still too "open for debate".

On Lord of the Craft
I'm like a rabbit suddenly trapped
In the blinding headlights of vacuous crap
My diplomacy dike groans
And the arsehole held back by its stones
Can be held back no more:

Look, I don't mean to bore you
But piss off if you are salty about a killaura
PvP is the scum of this server
and should be burned to the ground
like the sound and amount
of people debating stupid topics
like Snelves or Myopic Microscopic
Details which brings nothing but Drama
mostly in the form of kids being salty in their pajama

"You're so sure of your position
But you're just closed-minded
I think you'll find
Your faith in Roleplay apply
just as blind as any PvP guy"

Hm that's a good point, let me think for a bit

Oh wait, my mistake, it's absolute bullshit.

Roleplay adjusts its views based on what's observed

PvP is the denial of observation so killing can be preserved

On Lord of the Craft
I'm like a rabbit suddenly trapped
In the blinding headlights of vacuous crap.

Make it the same size, but have 80% of the map be unused, or rather "the wilderness" as some would call it.
