ScreamingDingo

i don't need event people they're self-sufficient hunter gatherers my lore team are currently eating rotten berries and dying by the hour

Hey, ScreamingDingo here. I know I have been quiet since my promotion to admin regarding the team and that’s mainly because our work is staying relatively the same. The Event Sect is starting to flourish but we’re finding a lot of issues with our manpower of the Lore Sect in regards to a variety of issues. I will formally open up our recruitment to the Lore Sect of the Team and explain a few things about this position that confuse a lot, but I will try to have cleared up. We are not looking for writers specifically, the majority of the lore sect does not actually write lore but instead looks to improve systems and actively balance magic. We are looking for people with a keen eye and an open mind to help us get through quite a few projects we have piling up. These mainly surround overturning the former ‘Lore Admin’s’ Criteria for submissions and clearing it up to better reflect the team, they are archaic in nature and need to be modernised for the direction we are taking the server as a while. Other than that, we urgently need people to help us review lore, it becomes an issue when our turn-around starts to drop because we only get three or four votes per piece, per week and then have to try and compile a cohesive feedback section with the members that are pulling the team upon its back. You don’t need to be insanely sound on all the ‘deep-lore’ of the server to do this, fresh ideas and perspectives are something we do need on the team and are something I’ve realised we have lacked cohesively for a bit. All we need are just keen eyes, and a willing motivation to do some paperwork for a bit of cheeky pex and the infamous green tag. [If you feel like you would normally not be seen as a magical ‘lore’ person, you should apply if you have an open mind to learning the mess that is the Lord of the Craft Lore.] SO, THE STORY TEAM ARE RECRUITING LORE STAFF TO HELP US STABILISE THE TEAM AND BRING IT BACK TO ITS USUAL, PRODUCTIVE SELF. Ensure to apply using this link and following the application process: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/forum/1194-story/ SIDE NOTE FOR THE MOMENT, SELF-TEACH ALTARS FOR THE VOIDAL EVOCATIONS WILL BE PUT ON HOLD WITH THE LACK OF MANPOWER WE HAVE TO RUN THEM PROPERLY, AND THE POTENTIAL REWRITING OF THEIR LORES AND THE EXPLORATION OF THEIR ‘EFFECTIVENESS’. (WE’RE ESSENTIALLY GOING TO BE BRAIN-TANKING, THINKING HOW TO MAKE THE TEACHING PROCESS MORE EFFECTIVE)

Fantastic to see this happening so soon!

This lore has been denied. You will be sent a forum PM regarding the reasons for denial within the next 24 hours.

Hello, please contact [email protected] with the specific details and we can attempt to recover the account.

Roland of Ulmsbottom drags himself across the skittering massacre of the Orcish insanity, each strike tearing through limb and limb, followed by the shadow that executes their foes as they follow. This is the path of the Scion.

freebuild is a truly idealistic pipedream that disconnects new players from the server more than it actually brings them into the community

you got the money for that?

why do non dwarves keep writing runesmithing this just makes the mags hurt more

This lore has been denied. As above my comment states after speaking with management, this is perfect for a cultural interpretation but uses too many different aspects of lore we cannot canonise when discussing this, the implication of the Primordial's involvement with the sun and making the veil akin to space is something that isn't what we need to touch upon, or if done, needs to be done in simpler writing instead of a character's journal piece. For these big implication of World Lore aspects, it needs to be done utilising the K.I.S.S method (Keep it stupid simple). Thank you for writing this, but I believe this is perfect to have as an in-character interpretation, not hard canon.

Yeah I definitely agree, but the basis isn't like outlandish. I think this is a hilarious amendment but something that could be genuinely built upon to not just be a balance patch

tbf this does actually make sense in the 'lore-verse' with whats been established with the material alphabet. The idea of the immaterial (the void) being stable and allowed near things that are innately made of the purest form of the material plane is something that can be confusing sometimes and what this amendment does is something that does make sense.

LotC is a contested topic among many, I've spent almost a decade on here and had my fair share of horrible and fantastic experiences. What LotC is to me is something that is a bigger community experience that allows for creatives to absolutely flourish in an almost uncontested environment, where their ideas are tested and tried against a multitude of minds to ultimately carve and create your own skills. Each Community has its negatives and I believe ours is basically so focused on the negative aspects that we rarely reflect on why we all stay on this server, if the server was genuinely so bad, those that hate it would not be on it, those that speak ill have good memories of friends/communities or roleplay experiences that have made their lives either better or more enjoyable. The biggest thing to look at this is to not just treat it like a game such as league of legends, where you vent out whatever you want to some randoms online to make yourselves feel better. This is simply a platform to show the hobbies of creative writing and a multitude of other talents that many have on here (skinning, drawing, media etc.) You should definitely not be ashamed of spending time on the Craft if it was productive, what you should focus on is the good times and thinking of what keeps you here. The negatives can be dwelled about in every single other thread on this server and it's something I'm sure we all have a pet peeve, major annoyance or even hatred about certain aspects of the server that sour the entire experience. This is a place where I can explore my own creative talents without feeling shamed or outcasted by people in the "real world", where if I talked about how I wanted to eventually write homebrew DnD Worlds where people can immerse themselves and characters in, I'd be laughed out and ridiculed by people or met with a strange "eh". This is a safe avenue for me to pursue my own nerdier interests without feeling like I'm the only person in the world doing it, or the only people that roleplay are the weird smelly guys down at the local gameshop who oversexualise their characters on tabletop characters and genuinely do not care for a story. We're basically all a bunch of normal people who try to enjoy and have fun on the server, there are ups and downs. But we're still here after a decade, and I hope the legacy continues on to help those that were in my situation for way long after I have left the server.

I hate threads like this because they remind me of my age

Do you actually ever stop man, like it was funny for the first few years but its borderline doomsday preacher tier at this point

nether is fractured, iblees has little to no power and he has absolutely no domain to create followers like this in his current state. I understand the intent, but I'm just going to be very clear that this isn't the direction of ibleesian introduction that will happen (if ever)

Kinda very happy you posted this. I've been really wanting to get into the lore of Warhammer (40k) specifically for some inspiration for my own writing outside the server, and potentially for things to take inspiration for events and such. If anyone knows what the Warp is and such, I'd love elaboration. (I have a very basic understanding it's a weird egregore force of emotions but that's about it.)

should just be a cultural post lol

"Dwarven Intervention always leads to violent escalation. It is time to barricade our farms for the strange rat men, isn't it Jimmy?" A simple farmer looks towards the horizon from his homestead as plumes of black smoke bellow from Luciensburg. He taps his son on the head, hiding the true fear of the incoming threat.

10 years in a few months, haven't regretted a single part of being on here.
