  1. unironically based and i agree 100% stop using lore to try and justify your roleplay to forum ascended librarians that use ooc means to justify their characters mindsets.
  2. biggest regret as a manager was not shooting mystery when I had the chance

     

    look at the chaos that ensued when I didn't follow my gut

      plan to do it on the new server, see you then?

  3. Calebs absolute ******* power-play to stay in admin by giving us guns
  4. Yet the Unseen were always meant to be figures believed to be Omnipresent, how would one notice them suddenly vanishing when a majority of strigae would never ever encounter them. And your character is not retconned, the striga are not ‘retconned’. If removed, they will simply not be present on the current continent. If you truly want to preserve the image of the strigae, what you would do is turn the lore into a creature piece accessible to the ET and disallowed to be touched by players. That is so it can stay active in the LotC canon even though its presence its minimal apart from the inclusions in Aeldin. Your clarifications on feeding are a “buff” where the only thing holding back the horrid idea of the ‘combat’ striga are increasing the limit they can slaughter those in a situation when going berserk. The idea was that going berserk or getting caught in a battle was essentially a PK, which was how the strength was naturally compensated for such. Also the addition of the infamous Mordu sutican jumping saga of allowing falls of 20 blocks is hilarious. This will be shot down hard (hopefully by guns when they get accepted when caleb realises its the only PR move to avoid getting removed as admin). Caleb fucked around a bunch of groups and everyone is privy to that, but if you were clearly blind of the insanely pressing issues that striga had. Then I honestly don’t think this piece should be accepted just for the wellbeing of the server.
  5. there’s way too much to unpack. i genuinely can’t. venom, memory reading, having the pks thinly veiled and done in a way where I know your group will avoid them. I honestly was like, “this is a nice read” then I remembered a majority of it is just completely ripped from the old lore written by matt and rhys. Then your little excerpt with Benda and saying the Unseen have been killed makes absolutely no sense. This has sorted absolutely none of the issues that happened because of the mass power-gaming utilised by those who had striga. The things that /needed/ to be defined are not, instead you gave them venom and more strangely supernatural powers. Originally, striga were essentially made as a segue to human immortality and highlighting the inner animalistic struggle that can come with such. Instead throughout the course of its use, it has devolved into dracula-esque roleplay which was never the intention. They’ve had their course, as long as they’re not retconned and the work of Esterlen and Mth_Dew is respected I will be happy to watch these creatures fade into obscurity. The actual fixes that Caleb wants for Striga are easy to do, but yet you still somehow missed it.
  6. verify me on discord or a hostage dies every hour this demand isn't met

      They don’t “touch” Freja roles. Even if they know you are a whitelisted player. I think they are afraid of Freja.

      Maybe try one of those minechat applications to run the command?

      @Tha_Mystery_Man

      only reason it got accepted is because managers didn't pick up my slack when I had my break and I couldn't retroactively deny their 'balancing' requests because of a stuff up on our end

      Im very aware of the reasoning and complete miscommunication that happened with Shade. It was a manager wide mistake that shoulda got nipped but its getting nipped now so its fine. I’m mostly ******* with you though Joel haha.

  10. you guys should just add this into the lore asap guns gonna be perma denied, let some idiots larp generic boring protagonist #31 called geralt
  11. you all realise that you can just ignore telanir and tythus and restructure the techlock

     

    lore is always a guideline, never a defining rule

      the matter’s hardly that simple. sure, you can ignore the admins, but these are creatures of dark and ancient breeding. they’d come back in a few years time, and I doubt they would be very happy with you.

  12. Though he allowed Sakura to roam, unsure of how the potential trade-off is looking
  13. The moderators all assemble for their weekly meeting.
  14. this entire post just makes me feel uncomfortable and idk what specifically about it makes me feel that way
  15. just a bit of advice for people wanting to make lore

     

     

    when thinking of concepts, make it as simple and easily transferable as possible. Don’t try to re-invent the wheel for the sheer sake that players who get their hands on the lore will pervert those expectations

     

    also consider not trying to make things that are big baddies and ‘absolute’ powers. With how LotC functions, antagonists are insanely flawed concepts which lose their purpose in narratives to this experience. Don’t try to use tropes that seem cool in novels, they /will/ fall flat on LotC.

     

    other than that, just aim to enable the potential for interesting RP. Don’t try to have nefarious intentions of trying to boost some power or gain some extra stats to use in a ‘combat’ scenario. That’s all lore and all interactions on LotC should be about in their foundation, creating good roleplay.

      also be ready to wait forever for a verdict ?

  16. shitters screaming at shitters for being shitters Nice
  17. please don't mess with past continent travel mystery the voidal massacre was enough
  18. there'll never be a good world event for the sheer sake that there's like 20 different playerbases on here with very different views and ideas of what is good. also stop making world events some shitty sewer water splattered antag grinds.
  19. breaking news – PvE in events is catered to those that have the attention span of a goldfish and should be thrown aside

      ‘whilst still working and making events that cater to and uplift the community.’

       

      Great work there.

      Big agree, just requires some actual thought to plan those out. Wouldn't trust any of the server to be able to make something that's coherent and enjoyable for PvE currently that isn't just glorified slugfests

  20. U fellas really gonna try to martyr ggt like come on
