*you see a note pinned to a tree near the road. On the note, you see a message with the firehawk familys seal on the bottom, with a tattered peace of paper attached to the note*

((first off, wanted to appologise for possably violateing the RP/non-rp code with this post, but I think the conditions deamed it.))

Dear fellow elves,

I regret to inform you that during my travels, I have fallen ill, and am possibly unable to return to my former home. I am writing to you from a long forgotten inn in practicaly the middle of nowhere. As sutch, in the event I do not return, attached is my will. I want to thank those who have been great friends, and I hope my recovery will be swift.

((To sum it up, I have had some problums with my home life and school, so I have been inactive for about 3 months now, and I wanted to get this out of the way. I will probaly be coming back to the server as soon as my personal life begins to pick up again, but I have no idea when that will be happening. I wanted some of my friends to benifit from my loss, so I am giveing a large ammount of my items away to people I knew.))

The last will and testament of Rakin W. Firehawk.

To start off, in my former employees furnace room, in the far right side, close to the wall, remove the planks. You will find a chest which contains my posestions that I hid durring a raid. I ask the owner of the house, whose name I do not rember at the moment, probaly because of that rock to the head, to please get the items and send out notices to the people listed below.

To a sir silverblade:

I leave my cobblestone, and any armor and wepions that you can find.

To the kind soal whose name I cant rember:

I thank you for takeing me in all those days ago, and giveing up your second floor to me. As repayment, I give you my 3 books, my plants, and everything in my chests.

((Trust me when I say this is much harder for me to write then it is for you to read. I love LOTC, but RL almost always comes before IG.

I am sorry I have to do this, but I am probaly takeing a extended leave from LOTC.

I thank all who showed me compassion, and helped shape my caractor, and I think I gave him a good end, or possably not.

Thank you,

-arctichenry (rakin firehawk)

Hail,

My name is Rakin Firehawk, a elf, ((arctichenry)) and I am looking for a good, reliability steady source of minas, as my pocket book is looking bearer then water in the desert. I have past experence as a farmer, so I think ill apply for that. I have some experence in mass farming, from terracing to acres of crops layed out. I have a large supply of seeds ((about 4 stacks)) which, if accepted, I will donate or set up my own feeder farm to this colony ((as in start my own farm, but have all crops go to this colony)). I have resently discovered the art of makeing a trample proof farm, and would be willing to share this craft with the farmers of this land.

I have one question, is the colony located in the wilds, or protected in the wilds? ((just wondering, wont affect me one way or the other))

Thank you, and have a good day.

Hail, I would love to be of assistance to this project.

MC Name: arctichenry

Character Name: Rakin Firehawk

Are you good at building? Relitavly, still have some rough spots here and there

If so then what have you made in the server? I have built a farm that is trample resistant in white ravin, and a house near there to (not shure the state of it, havent checked it out in a wile)

What have you made outside the server? I have built a massave elven tree on a server that is not up ATM, a great wall made in laurian style, and verious other things.

Are you mature? I would think I am

Do you love Laurelin? I am a elf, YES

so we could in theory take this problem to law enforcement, and they would be bound by federal law to do something.

Ways you could get back:

http://www.worldlawdirect.com/forum/internet-law/3032-ddos-attack-legal-action.html

I shure hope that the host or the DDOS people are in the UK:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#Legality

Or if you are in the US:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act

Isn't it illegal to both create a botnet and to use it to create a DDOS to a server?

((just wondering, is a week IRL, or IG? IRL seems to little, but IG seams to much..))

I may consider this, provided my current job falls through

I am not a epic computer geek, but couldn't you just sheald or block the ports the DDOS attacks are coming in from?

Also, wouldnt the DDOS attacks leave a IP address that you could look up then, as mentioned above:

Mabye we can convince some orcs to "visit" them. Nothing says "STOP IT!" like bashing their faces in with their own PCs.

That would shure show them. I think I may also know the program thats sending the DDOS attacks. It is called Low Orbit Ion Cannon, or LOIC for short.

This is probaly a meaningless rant, but if it has a grain of truth in it, please take that and use it.

I know somethings about building natural structures, however I (no offence) realy dont want to associate myself with the undead unless the pay is EXTREMELY good. Ill attach some screenys of my work when I get home, however realy not shure about it.

Ok, where will it be held, the performance?

((sorry for the dubble post, but where is the graveyard located, and how much for the house?))

((Is there any way you could make a build-to-suit crypt for a wealthy family?))

What kind of help do you need? ((and what timezone would they be performed on?)) I act ((IRL to)) and would love to help. I just have one question about the pay, is it per show, or per script?

((any way you could attack some screenys? I am looking for some houseing, and this looks like the best fit!))

((AM or PM?))

((ok, I am in the alaskan time zone, so it looks like dirrect communication may be difficult))

((ok, I am in the alaskan time zone, so it looks like dirrect communication may be difficult))

((good point, didn't think of that. However, just be shure to hold a map when you are using coordinates to tie in the RP))

This seems like good work

((what timezone are you on and when are you on, don't want to be on different timezones))

I am desperately looking for a job, and this looks like a great opportunity!

((little bit worried about you having a Villon application, just please do not dunk any of your house workers in lava or something like that, that's what happened on my last job..))

If all checks out, then ill apply for ether the scribe or house worker. I am extremely skilled in the fine art of writing, and also know the art of cooking, brewing and cleaning.

I can devote my time totally to the house or to writing. I must ask what the living conditions are like, as my last housecleaning job, lets just say it was unpleasant. ((bed over a lava pit))

Where might the house be located? ((directions, not coordinates))

Thank you,

Rakin Firehawk

((FYI, coordinates are META! I would recommend just asking for landmarks and directions...

How would I go about joining this guild? I to am looking for work and this seems like a good start to a workers union kind of setup))

I wish you luck in finding work.

The bookshelves, is it 15 per stack, or 15 per bookshelf?

if its per stack, ill buy all of them, but if its per bookshelf, eh, probably not

((any way we could see the family catacombs? I may be interested in buying. Do we have any guarantee that the graveyard wont just be looted and/or demoed by some new construction?

Thanks))

*pins a note on his door*

Hail,

Do you have any need for a elf?

I know how to farm, cook and clean. I can be there almost all day, and unlike some of the other applicants, I don't think orics have had any disagreements with elves.

((I don't have a Villon application, and if that changes ill be shure to inform you))

On another note, any ammount of pay, no matter how large or small will be appreciated. ((struggling for money))

Thank you, and have a good day.

So I am accepted? Thanks!

I didnt know that fact about takeing info from the forums, thanks!

It has been 2 weeks since I last posted with no replys, so I am re-posting.

-How old are you?: 14

I understand that role playing is the act of creating a character that your avatars actions are influenced by. The avatar (yours) is your only source of information about the game. You cant metagame (think that that's what it is called..) by looking on the forums, nor can you look at OCC, see a undead plot in the making, then shout "the zombies are coming! the zombies are coming!" in IC. You only know what your character knows.

I expect this server to have a rich user base (players, not money), a leadership, and lots of RP'ing!

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:

Yes, I have.

-Biography:

Rakin was a young elf when it began.

He was 10 years old, and had grown up in the family tree (literately, a tree). Rakin was a good little elf, he helped till the family farm, go to market and sell the crops, then come back and help plant trees. He and his family were happy, they had minnas (sorry if that's misspelled), a home, and a farm. What more could a family want?

Every Wednesday, Rakin and his family loaded the crops from the past week into a wagon and carted them off to the village situated less then 30 minutes away from their house and farm. Rakin enjoyed this life, allowing himself to fall into a rut of kinds. The work was extremely repetitive, but Rakin enjoyed the hard labor.

One day, whilst in market selling his family crops, he stumbled upon a man. This man told him he had a gift, a rare talent. The man told Rakin that he was part of a organization called the "ambassadors for the king". Rakin thought the man was crazy, and walked away. As Rakin walked away, he couldn't help but think that the man might not be lieing. Last year, he hadn't killed that robber, but instead talked to him, and telling him that he could work at his farm, And when the forces of evil had invaded, he had run, not fought with them.

Rakin took this to heart, and attempted to find the group, but couldnt find them again. He never saw the strange man again. Rakin took what the man told him to heart, and became a scribe, always writing down whatever he saw or did.

This is where his story begins.
