Blundermore

The staff from what I've seen have tried to provide other options, but the players don't accept that, instead in order for that to be a thing the players will need to make new things to do themselves. And we can't do that when everyone just keeps on fighting the same war for all of time.

I am an individual who used to partake in RP on the server, one of many who would like to see a change from the status quo presented over the last two years. Who am I indeed, to merely ask that we freshen up the community by taking a path that doesn't lead to players literally pissing on each other oocly in ill-begotten immaturity. I'm not playing pretend here Aislin, all I have said is fact and RP. Who am I indeed. Someone with an opinion different to your own. Deal with it.

Yes "My Thread", and I was implying that.

You two aren't doing this on my thread. Take it somewhere else.

Wars can be ended peacefully. It's called an Armistice, and from that, a proper end of the war can be made. It's clean, it's simple, no one looses anything.

It is aggressive, and it does feel threatening to me without cause or reason past I'm saying something you don't agree with. I'd ask that you tone it down. Thankyou. Gaius you of all should see that consistent wars going on at the moment is making war in generally pointless farce. Where is the excitement that conflict brings when it replaces the everyday RP all the time?

The point of my topic is not to initiate another flame war where once again both of the large warring factions come together to war it out on my post about why the other side is stupid or something like that. The point is to put a boot on it now, and for people to just chill out. Also, temp. The players had Two IRL years to do that. And all it has gotten us is a divided community and an immature community. I'd ask you reply to my posts a lot less aggressively than you are right now. It is unnecessary and unprofound. Infact, aggression like that is exactly what I am talking about when I talk about the community being divided. Your bullying tactics will not silence me, so kindly stop.

"War. It has always plagued the Descendants ever since the Mythic War of the First age. Where Men, Elves, Orcs and Dwarves were tested in the heat of battle against the maliceful might of Iblees for nearly thirty years. Our homes were ravaged, the land was torn asunder, and the great Kingdoms of Old fell into darkness. But it was not the end there, no, for in the dying light a new dawn came, on wings of Fire and Ice, with fury brighter than a thousand suns the world quaked as the great Anguels and Daemons came to our call, and threw down the terrific tyrant that was Iblees, the Dominator into a darkness we thought he would never escape. For the first time in a long while, the land new a peace, and the filth of Iblees slowly drifted out of existence with him. But it was not so, for fate had another plan for us. Three Hundred years after the Great war Iblees found his way back into the world, and with a new found hatred for our world he sought to Dominate all within, or destroy it. The Kingdoms that rose up had naught the strength of the Kingdoms old, and slowly but surely, they were beaten down. With their homes lost, and their lands corrupted by the Daemonic master, the Descendants chose to flee as their champions with the Blessing of the Anguel Aeriel made one last attempt to end him once and for all. Recovering the ancient Axe of Krug, or the Axe of Malchediael, the patron Aengul of Courage, a Dwarf by the name Ireheart struck out at the nexus at the centre of Iblees' realm of hell-fire, attempting to destroy him forever. But it was not to be, for the Nexus was the only thing keeping Iblees from entering our realm once more, and as the Nexus shattered, a great heaving could be heard from under Cloud Temple as the world Quaked once more. Those who watched saw the Temple blown into the skies in fiery chunks of debris as the great horned beast wreathed in taintful fire, Iblees, was reborn. The world started to shatter as Iblees made one final push to destroy the Descendants before they escaped, only to find his way blocked by several Anguels and the remnants of the Ascended. What happened to those who stayed behind, it is not known, but what we do know is that that was the end of Aegis as we knew it. Beaten, battered, the races found their way to a new land, one that stemmed great hope for prosperity among the Descendants at long last. A chance to start anew, but it was not to be. War, followed us there. Following the dispute of petty issues and the large stretches of land laid out before us the Descendants became greedy, claiming large stretches of land as fiefdoms for their own. And as a result a new feeling began to manifest among the Nation leader's and their followers. Ambition. Lines were slowly drawn as more and more of the land known as Asulon was cut into pieces and divided amongst the nations until there was nothing left. In their haste, the nations drew lines, and alliances were formed as rapid expansion became all out war in the land. Quiet villages were burnt to the ground, farmers lands were scorned and left in dust. A plague writhe throughout the land. The greedy squabbling of the Nations left little thought towards the impending threat Assaulting Asulon, and soon they paid for it, as their greed was washed away in a titanic flood the likes of which has never been seen before. At this point, you would think that the Descendants, and the leaders of these begotten nations would've learnt, unfortunately again. It was not so. As soon as landfall was made in Anthos the Nations once again drew lines in the sand with nothing more than sticks and stones (as they had lost everything else already), and proceeded to pick up the same grudges they had kept alive in the old lands. And like the old lands before, it was their downfall once more. Now here we are, one hundred and nine years after the end of Aegis, all we have to show for it is grudges, the loss of two homes, the loss of all our worldly possessions twice over, and now it seems we are yet again set on the path of re-enacting this twisted play once more. what do we even still fight for? What is there left to fight for? It seems as though the Descendants are destined to fight over cragged rock and broken twigs if this continues. Where has the prosperous days gone, why has that light we kindled so long ago been extinguished by our own darkness? Where, has peace gone? -Extract of the Journal of Blundermore" http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/111318-the-same-old-mess-a-treatise-on-war-on-lotc/page-3 http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/111296-feedback-wood-elven-liname-gates http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/111143-feedback-degeneration-of-roleplay/page-3?hl=blundermore#entry1049725 ((Look at what you are all becoming. Our server is dying a slow and painful death, War RP no longer exists practically, peaceful RP is slowly being trudged into the ground and the community as a whole is falling apart. Look at what war is doing to this community. Not only wars but raiding as well. Exoduses, people leaving, constant bitter disputes between the two main factions, yaddy yadda, same song and dance. We've spent over two IRL years practically fighting the same war, and at a cost our server is being crushed into the ground. An end must come to this conflict. It has gone on for far too long now. By rights, the nations should be absolutely SICK of it. There's being slightly dumb and repeating mistakes and then there is being dumb for the sakes of being dumb. How do the nations even justify this to their people anymore? "Fight our wars even though you've lost everything twice over..." Yeah, no, in reality the general populace of each nation would go up to the king or Queen who said that and tell them to go stick it up their own arse. Then proceed to kick them off the throne as half the guards help them tie a hangman's knot and string the silly bugger up over the parapets. What are you actually fighting for anymore? There's nothing left to fight for or about. You're all in the same boat AGAIN for the third time in a row. It would not be RP to say that the moment they get to 4.0 they continue to try and kill each other. That's just ludicrously stupid. I am appealing to the nation leaders, as well as the staff, let the conflict end. We've had it for 109 years ic, Just let it end.)) ((I'd ask that you read the spoiler and keep any and all comments pleasant and Civil. Commentators not being civil will be punished accordingly by the FMs.))

There already is a secret Cult within the premise of Oren that follows, devotes and even worships the Undead integrated into the very fibers of the Oren Empire and its rise to power... I won't go into detail about this however for the sakes of metagamers being metagamers but lets just say that some members within Oren's founding integrated some ideology and worship that better helped the cause of darker powers.
