Most fun warclaim I’ve ever participated in, that's for sure. Drowned while standing in a tree o7. Maybe we should make it a new rule not to have half the map covered in water? Or idk.. start peeps a little further away would be nice too. We ran out and didn’t even make it to the water before y’all were on us. If they were gonna spawn us that close, why not just cut half the map down and make it a straight shot? We were excited to do some boat flanks, some water fights, and make it all splishy splashy. Add in the 15m of frozen server and the great joy of the server getting the most kills via dudes falling from the map... best 25m I’ve ever played ?

Lucion ponders aloud, “It says here, ‘Should a man partake in this action, her body shall be cleansed by fire’. So if a man marries, say an elf, the elf gets cleansed? What if a man marries a male elf? Do both men just partake in public humiliation or is the male elf also cleansed by fire?”

Lucion listens to a retelling of the battle with a puzzled look on his face, “That’s not how it happened... Haenseni MEN had prepared to take to the lake. But on that day, the lake thought itself a sea and bashed boats with skygod-level tides. The battle was so chaotic, time itself seemed to freeze for what felt like a day. As if Iblees himself was at the forefront of Renantian ‘soldiers’, time snapped back into place with dead Haenseni men floating about in the sea. Truly, it was a day where evil worked its magic. For no man would dare call it a fight. It was an unholy reckoning. Thus, seeing the proud, brave, yet somehow dead, soldiers of Haense floating in the tides of chaos, the men and women of the land rose up and tried to force Renantian devils from their lands. But even the sheer valor of the great Haenseni people was nothing to the barbarism of the Renantians. They cut down unarmed men, women, and children as if they were not sons and daughters of Horen. Truly, the day will be remembered as one where Renatus showed their true colors. That of bloodthirsty pillagers who cut down free people for daring to seek their own liberties.”

I'm bias, I'll put this right here at the top for all to see. I love Orcs and have loved them since Aegis. I love blah, slavery, raiding, spirit worship, hunts, and tavern brawls. That might just be me, but this is why I'm putting a massive disclaimer before getting into the meat and potatoes. Blah is imho, the most simple language we have on LotC outside of common, which is just English. There are only a handful of direct words to use, and it's a simple matter, again in my opinion, to replace letters with the phonetic transcription of what you're trying to say. I'm getting to the point where my own thoughts, the little voice in my head, is replacing words with their blah counterparts. That being said, I highly, highly encourage all new orcs to play Goblins. Goblins have considerably less restrictions on Blah, as they have the smaller tusks. It's an easier transition for new players to get into the spirit of the Orcish RP and provides an avenue to learn about the culture. I get that most people don't like Orc RP, but what I don't understand is that everyone calls it 'memey'. Can someone PM me, or post examples of what they consider meme rp? Because that just seems to be a catch all with little actual substance. I get no one wants to be the victim, everyone has a need for their character to be the hero, but I don't really see how Snaga (Slave) raids or sacrificial RP is memey, while The Church runs around and just kills anyone who doesn't worship their god. What makes Orc RP a memefest, but not human Cannonist RP? I'm trying to understand, not attack anyone here. We need examples if we are to change. What we don't need is OOC drama everytime we interact because other players don't understand how the race is designed to function. It's not memey for an Olog to speak like an idiot, they /are/ idiots. It's not memey for us to gather a sacrifice, we need them for our RP and try to make it enjoyable for whomever is being sacrificed. I will leave one last complaint geared towards the rest of the playerbase, which I just find ironic. We hangout in our city, yet no one every visits. So we are left to our own devices and only go into other lands when there is something to acquire. We are the literal embodiment of our lore in the sense of dealing with harrassment by other races, we face so much out of character harrassment that most of the Orcs I've spoken with don't even like to leave Orc lands, just like how the race is written in lore. People hate orcs, so when we lash out at the hate IRP, we are still the bad guys. We are pushed into isolation because other players do not want to be around us, then harrassed that we only leave the city to do villain RP. Imagine IC or OOC that everytime you leave your lands, you are harrassed, why would you welcome those same people with open arms either IC or OOC? I refer back to Sutica just days ago where a band of Orcs were running about, and we found a Gypsy player claiming that something was trying to kill her. We then took her to the safety of a city, in case there was a monster outside, and were harrassed OOCly for villain RP. We saved a human, and still received harrassment. How exactly are we supposed to take this punishment everytime we play? Help us improve, don't harrass us. Don't act like we are all bad because you heard that the RP was bad. Tell us how you think it would be better, and then we can make progress. PM me everything. Every grievance, every complaint, and every suggestion. I'm dying to hear it all. I'm serious.

It breaks down pretty simply for me, let the mods worry about moderating, and if you're a player just play. It's pretty sad that it's hard to find good RP, but you can find DOZENS of multi-paragraph posts where players have their pitchforks and want to do some ole fashion rioting. If y'all spent half as much effort working on your RP skills as you do crafting that 'expert opinion' dis on the staff, we'd have one hell of a server.

Hello Juliet, Are you still experiencing difficulties logging in? I have a feeling it is either a problem with your internet connection. If you are on a wireless connection, double check that you aren't having troubles connecting to your own router. If you have a wired connection, be sure the blue cable is plugged into the back of your PC or side of your laptop and this cable is also plugged into your router. If you are still having trouble, you should try launching in Administrator mode. It is likely that the Firewall is your problem. If this still does not work, you can PM me with your operating system and I would be happy to walk you through the steps of allowing Minecraft through your PC's firewall.

Time zone: EST Skype (You can PM me it): You have it Sidenote: If you go by a hard limit for DK's don't count my character towards it. I'm very inactive and only registering in-case I need to do something in-game. I plan on keeping my character that I spent over a year on. Even if I rarely play.

I have one question for the OP. Why is your interpretation of the server and what you think it should be like, outweigh anothers? What makes you better than them? Your original post talks about things that should even affect you or your character in RP. Someone is wielding a wrench? Since you should be able to separate RP from OOC, you could be like, "I've never seen this before. It must have been crafted by a master blacksmith." You RP your character on an already established server. The 'History of Earth' and it's technological progression does not determine how on a magical plane of existence, totally fictional and brought about by the collaborations of hundreds, if not a thousand players. Real World ain't got nuffin on me. On the limited time I spend on the server, I play a 7'6" suit of demonic armor who walks around killing people with an axe that is possessed by a violent memory I had when under a certain situation. I don't believe that ever happened in the history of our world, yet it is perfectly acceptable here. Why rant about something you don't understand anyway? Who's to say RP, in the past three years, hasn't lead to the creation of a wrench. Or explain, like our lore actually does, dyed hair. Maybe a fedora was crafted in RP by a tailor? Maybe someone decided, "Woh. What if I made a cloth helmet... that is for style instead of war?" And the hat resembles a fedora? I could literally go out into the wilds, grab a stick and skewer a frog, then call it a Computer. There is nothing stopping me from selling Computers, or frogs on a stick, in any city in the map. Why? Because a name doesn't determine if it's lore-friendly. You made a comment about a cutlass, or just an oddly-shaped sword which is used by various pirate groups in game anyway, and how it doesn't fit lore. Why not? Going with the Names-Doesn't-Dictate-RP rule I made up 5 seconds ago, I could create a new design for a broom, maybe I want to put steel wool on the bottom for cleaning rust off machines, and call it a Rifle. Or a Sniper. I could even call it a Stick with Steel on the End. All is perfectly accepted. It might seem nonsensical, but it is lore-friendly. Get off ye high horse, because this server ain't changing. People will always bring new ideas to the server, many of which I don't agree with, and there isn't anything you can do about it.

Lord of the Craft Official Ranking: 7.8 Too Much Water

A copy of the notice finds Vuln's hand. The Dread Knight lashes out at one of the remaining cultist, ordering the subordinate to read it for him. When the message just ends with, "All the dread knights" Vuln emits a crackled sigh. "Flesh-men. They expect... to identify... a dread knight... by his appearance?" His crimson helmet grinds towards the reader, his shoulder guards moan as he rolls them after so many years. "Good luck."

IC Backstory: Deep within the unholy bowels that is the Land of Dread, the Crimson Knight finally stirs. After years of stoic silence, Vuln, a Dread Knight created just shortly after Verin by their old dark master. Second of the fourth born, the once Dark Elf pledged himself willingly into the Dread Lord's service. Believing himself a priest, the Dread Knight began his dark crusade on the mortals who forsake him. Many tried to duel the hulking suit of meteor-steel. His body forged by his once more agile self. But none could halt the red tide that the being left behind. His loyalty took him to many places and fought many battles, even losing some. His body was punctured, torn apart, and smashed beyond recognition, and yet... he fought on. As if an army of smiths were behind him, the being kept coming back for more. Returning from impossible damage. Yet he found his match in a foe he could not fight with might. In the forested lands of Malinor, the giant was tricked. His beloved brother, Verin, was consumed by the power of the blood crystals and must be cleansed. The Dread Lord lead Vuln to the gates of Malinor where Verin stood, among the corrupted. A vicious battle was fought, one which lead to death and destruction of many. Yet the two dread knights managed to complete their goal and disassembled Verin. The Dread Lord left Verin's mangled parts with Vuln, and instructed the knight to deliver him to the stronghold. As Vuln turned his back to leave, a blood crystal was stabbed deep into his back. He was corrupted. Many years went by, Vuln wandered the lands confused and in pain. His insanity reached a new level, as the crystal feed on him. Finally, after the Scourged was defeated the pain left. He pried the crystal from his chest and held it tight in his fist. Memories of his time under it's spell flooded his mind and whispered to those nearby. The most dominate voice, a young farm boy's, pleaded, "No, please no." followed by a loud scream. This voice played over and over as Vuln focused on it. The crystal continues to loop it's morbid phrase. A never ending cry. The crystal seemed to... please the knight and he had a large axe forged with the crystal embedded in the head of the black iron head, Gorechild. He wields this axe with him to this day, and the cries of the young boy still echo out of the crystal. OOC: Name- Gorechild Type- Bastard Bearded Axe Material- Black Iron base, leather wrapped handle, single blood crystal Role-play Effects- The gem whispers "No, please no." followed by a scream of pain. This loops every few seconds. Mechanical Effects- None Extra Info- I have role-played with this axe for a while now without ever making lore for it. In truth, I started using it before the fringe but never went into detail about its story. I created the part about the crystal, an event that actually happened in RP, being the source of the voice. It used to be RP'd as the ghost of the young boy being bound to the axe. I'm unsure what officially happened to all the blood crystals/shards (Whichever was the tiny one. I forget as this happened months ago) and whether or not this is lore-friendly. That is the real reason I am posting this... Final Disclaimer- THIS DOES NOT AFFECT MY CHARACTER'S ABILITY IN A PVP OR RP FIGHT. THIS IS JUST AN AXE WITH A MAGIC GEM THAT SAYS OOKY SPOOKY THINGS TO THOSE IN /WHISPER RANGE.
