  1. Nothing remained of the camp that carried life, sulfur and blood stained the air from the horrors that were completed on that faithful day. The 14th of the Grand Harvest, 1764. For the Brigands that took the mine had now disappeared, so had any remaining business connections or attempts at peace. The place is only remembered as the haunting site of the Boom-Hill Massacre, to either be written into history or forgotten. Where decomposing corpses of children and women would be embedded in tents, with others being buried by others that roamed to this site. What was it for? Was there any benefit to this slaughter? Only time will tell. [Eventline Completed]
  2. May One Hundred Flowers Bloom for the Reign of Chairman Telanir
  3. man you could've wrote a magic that didn't die in a month of it being released come ON squak
  4. [!] Battles and conflicts have ravaged the mine and the Brigands that laid there. Though, the constant stream of migrants and others was seen from the distance. Constant caravans of supplies and men in tow would be seen from the roads. Rumors of the establishment of a trading company have flooded this, as lost and wandering descendants end up finding themselves on the border of the camp. Looking to strike riches, or to find a home. The constant economical benefit of the mine has lead to expansion and plans to secure their foothold stronger into the area. What this means for descendants is unknown, but only time will tell. [!]
  5. Well considering the current standard of ‘loopholing’. You definitely could argue that it explicitly doesn’t say ‘personas doing stuff in relation to others on the same account’ and then you technically can’t get banned for it. Sometimes it’s easier to just scream down a visible loophole than actually apply common sense, because people will hate parade you for being ‘biased’ for making a call against it. The insistence of lack of consequence on this server and the multi-account meta-gaming has gotten to some pretty nuts levels as of recent. There’s an urgent direction that we need to head into as a server in regards to mindset of loss and avoidance of losing at any possible opportunity. It’s getting to a point where there’s little to no reason to roleplay outside your own playerbase, nothing is permanent or consequential.
  6. Hey remember how there was a rule about personas not being able to interact with each other if the same person played them. Pepper-ridge farm remembers
  7. Which should be genuinely the main idea of any sort of vampiric/immortality trope on the server. It should be aimed at allowing for the exploitation of the short lived curse with consequences and basically removing their humanity. As Striga did the same and was used as a trope to try and break the constraints of Iblees, so does this piece. Humans have avoided the short-life tropes of Iblees through necromancy and other forms before, this isnt anything new or gamechanging.
  8. [ CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS ] As of recent, one of our mining holdings was taken over by a bunch of brigands. Those that survived are currently captured by the Brigands and are forced to work the mines. This mine in particular may have some interest to parties that wish to expand their own might in warfare, if you clear out the establishment we will happily look to try and set up your own mining company in place of our own. We have realised we need protection from outside sources. No reward is offered, just the chance to own this place that you potentially capture and rescue from these brigands! We are unsure of the contents of the mine specifically, but it holds properties of fire and can be utilised in weapons. We had a stockpile of excess powder and some of the ores that we mined under careful work. These would be all yours, if you wish to help us with this plea. The mine is located in the Northern plateau past the Cloud Temple. I do wish you luck! Gregory The Arcasian Mining Conglomerate. OOC
  9. @SoulReapingWolf appreciate the tag of just going on some random noob called Joel Pots ‘n Pandits is an idealistic project which requires an insane amount of dedication to drive people through the first steps of their journey as a new player. Though it is so difficult to gather a standard to CRP when the entire server has drastic levels of skill and knowledge in regards to these areas, it is not like there’s a streamlined hierarchy of who are the ‘best’ and who are not. Ultimately in my opinion, this level of teaching should be done by nations and playerbases that integrate these new people. So they’re consistent with their group and don’t adapt bad habits from staff members that may or may not be qualified to run the program. I did have my project which I think Mystery tried to pitch at one point after I left, which focused on blending the first few moments into RPG-esque quests for new players to adapt easier to the world before being introduced into the playerbase of their choice. Though it’s simply a matter of manpower and inconsistency across the server that makes this really inefficient to run. Focus on teaching new players the /rules/ and allow their playerbases to shape and mould their combat style. If noobs come out with shitty attitudes, at least we can pinpoint that a nation is encouraging those ideals.

  11. well at least i can still pitchfork lynch monks still even with this buff
  12. lol being blind on LotC is basically an unachievable death wish that limits characters so much. Seers serve a niche to offer some sort of substitute to essentially not lose their charafcter immediately and take an esoteric route into the magic. It’s literally a point of who cares, if its not personally affecting your roleplay or detracting from it. There’s no reason to go after them, especially when its a self-guided feat that has little to no interaction with others
  13. Because it’s really easy to change these small things with just a shift in the community mindset but every time those sort of changes happens they’re pushed back into rule-lawyering or otherwise invalidating RP that can happen through ways to ensure they win. I’m just more annoyed. Good **** can happen if people want it to happen, bad **** will happen if people don’t. Posts like these just make me sad because they really point out how the state of the server continually changes for the worse on a community level. If anything, people asking for more staff intervention are just encouraging more rule-lawyering and avoidance of consequence. I just want new players to enjoy the server, which constantly seems to be a trend that cannot happen
  14. wheres the anti-telanir podcast tearing apart the issues of the server

      u can praise telanir’s better outlook on the server all u want now, and dont get me wrong it’s pleasing to see, but we would not be in the hole we are in if it were not for the attitude, decisions and precedents he set

      ??? Telanir always gets more attentive when his bs is called, then just slinks away for another 6 months to come back and force another autistic change.

      I don’t know brother, however i for myself do not think that Telanir’s hopes of reaching 500-750 concurrent players via “word of mouth” only is in any shape or form realistic. Without proper marketing we will stay around 250-300 even with proper sharding. Not to mention if you force people into shards, it will likely create a lot more problems. 

  15. good villains require good victims and both simply dont exist on LotC currently.
  16. If they want to, then so what. That’s roleplay and that’s what it brings. If people need to be defended ooc’ly it 100% cheapens the experience. This lore is extremely lenient considering the sheer amount of bodies required to actually sever someone. Nothing /should/ stop a character, if you piss someone off and can’t fight back you lose. That’s just how it is. No more silly OOC measures to disconnect, don’t hide behind that crutch. This lore allows for them to unite and /also/ take away magic without PK’ing the character, which is 100% a saving grace to whoever is subjected to it. There’s no negatives or drawbacks to the disconnected except losing their magic. It’s a very nice way to do it, where most of the time it should be just a hard rip w/ a lost character
  17. There’s literally no issue with this disconnection war stuff it’s literally people being babies and being scared they are threatened. It’s genuinely a sort out in roleplay issue that doesn’t need to be redlined in lore because someone might ‘unfairly’ lose their status (even though it doesn’t even PK them). If a magic is lead with Tyranny, it naturally dies out. I hate the idea of blocking disconnections and **** with OOC redlines over just what happens IG, why should you have to appeal to a random LT to disconnect a character when it happens IG.
  18. halflings dont deserve rights and this post is the reason why
