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?
-
verify me on discord or a hostage dies every hour this demand isn't met

at least as a manager you don't sign stupid items anymore. I thought brick shield was bad, but Ur influence is eternal from this ban report

unsound – more like unaccepted for it getting removed for abuse in the next month

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

u keep on living up to the prophecy. oh great tyrant, bestow us with the work of others which you will claim as your own
guess this post is technically yours since I just wrote about you
-
you all realise that you can just ignore telanir and tythus and restructure the techlock
lore is always a guideline, never a defining rule

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.

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

U fellas really gonna try to martyr ggt like come on

watching old warclaim videos makes me wonder where did we go absolutely wrong. being able to mimic this in modern day would be ******* amazing. people spamming shout, rallies coming from their own cities.
This is what we need to return to

The world was smaller and the playerbase was more divided in the past, this kept OOC out of the equation on the grand scale. People fail to play their characters as well when it comes to warclaims recently, as in the last three years. It becomes a question of a player’s skill or ability to lead and how many connections they can exploit. As a result they’ll contort RP to what is their best chance OOCly, because many feel it’s their OOC reputation at stake. If they feel they’re going to lose they’ll cheese pvp build techniques and take advantage of OOC delays and use information gained OOCly to make necessary preparations for the ideal outcome. If they lose it was due to staff corruption, normally. Warclaims were originally made for the sake of participation, and they evolved as players became less and less capable of agreeing on terms or outcomes themselves. Compensation for player behavior and lack of sportsmanship is ironically what lead to the current state. We went from interesting battles like Wrath’s Clutch and Das Boot – Orc/Dwarf honor wars - to players literally burning their city down to avoid a warclaim, or demanding a warclaim be made and then not showing up to it so they have time to evacuate their loot or important RP items during the OOC buffer due to this babying. Rather than being part of the game they became a way to avoid consequences for playing the game the ‘wrong’ way – as in being in a position to lose.
Damn warclaims, they ruined warclaims.

@Jaeden got removed from management for disagreeing with Caleb's direction with the event team he wishes to push. When he has absolutely no experience with it, so me and Xarkly got hit with the removal of management.
Then I said some very nice words to people in staff discord and got booted because apparently what I said to tofu was too upsetting ?
all while flam basically denied all involvement of projects I started while his inactive ass kept on dragging the team down. But flams the best story admin ever and totally hasn't fucked the ST by giving them months of extra work with the lore games by having it ran so poorly.

baffles me how somehow kha are still relevant in the current political climate when its just five players doing cutesy cub rp

hello i have chaotic evil idea
please list the current faiths on lotc for me, (if they’re ‘canon’ or not doesn’t matter to me)

Congratulations! Very proud of what you’ve accomplished recently, you deserve it! ?
-
once again, recruiting for the ET. I’m happy for anyone and everyone to apply if you think you have what it takes.

I apologise for preaching and asking this through statuses. I expect the usual shitposting on this status.
But I'm genuinely looking for great rpers who want to actually raise the quality of roleplay on the server for the ET. People driven by the wish to create arching narratives that help improve the quality of the server for everyone. All while exposing them to new experiences that defy the expectations of most and help me create a team I'm proud to spearhead. It's a big ask, but I'm hoping at least a few people see this and apply to help me continue to make the server better. I've been a pretty shitty manager as of recent with my computer breaking for a few months, so the quality has slipped and the events I've wanted pushed haven't happened. Doesn't excuse the "lack" of events, but I'm trying to create a system where events are more than shitty loot drops. I want people to go to events and go, "wow, I really didn't think I could experience that quality on here", or having people reflect on their own rp mentalities and changing accordingly.
Also for shitty lore side of the server, we need some masochistic people who like reviewing lore to apply

selling my soul to dedicated rp naval groups or groups in general that want events
:^)
