Raulin VonSchlichten looks up to the poster, his young, eager eyes studying the finely written words. He absently brushes a rogue strand of reddish-brown hair away from his left eye with his left hand. As Raulin cranes his neck upwards to admire the banner's emblem, he mutters to himself, "Surely, Uncle wouldn't pass up this chance to show off 'is Scotch, and meet some women. I best be tellin' 'im!". Raulin gasps to himself as he finishes his sentence, raising the heel of his right hand to his forehead in sudden clarity, "I forgot! I need to catch the next ship back to Gallmore!". Dropping the hand to his side, the scraggly boy begins to run off to the docks, cursing himself for his stupidity.

Matt's a great guy, and he most definitely deserves this position. Matt has shown great dedication in his job as an AT member, and I think that he is mature enough to hold this position, as well as holding enough experience as a player moderator.

He's evil, and threatened to murder my family if I did not give him a referral.

Snow is a great guy, and I would love to seem him added onto the FM team. He has a great application, a great community spirit, and a great level of maturity.

*Rolls up sleeves* "Well, looks like SOMEONE is going to have to ask the questions."

How many staff positions have you held up to now?

I believe that congratulations are in order for our new AT leader, Rhia!

Huzzah!

6. Do not double post. Adding posts after your post is classed as spam and will earn a warn.  On top of this, spamming of any nature; be that in posts or status updates are not permitted. If you need to change your post or add something, then use the edit button! It’s a lot easier than making an entirely new post!

So would a member be given a warning point for double-posting if they accidentally click the "Post" button twice, causing the same post to be repeated? This usually occurs on mobile devices.

Edit: Thanks for the swift reply, Gemmy, and great job with the post!

Aptrotta is a great roleplayer, and an all-round great guy! I would love to see him added to the Event Team as an actor.

The North!

(No more deep-voiced narrations, please)

My fellow Briton and rower, Ben, has always shown a strong sense of right and wrong. His maturity shows through every post he makes, and I've never seen him do anything wrong in the time I've been on the forums. I know he will take this job seriously, and perform to his absolute best!

History
 

Raulin was born out of wedlock. A bastard. His mother, a barmaid, had fallen pregnant with him after meeting a stranger travelling with the VonSchicten Company. 9 Months later, a child was born. But at a cost. Raulin's mother, who shall remain unnamed, gave her life for the bastard child of her lover. Raulin had no one, with his mother dead, and a missing father in his life: he was juggled around families across Oren constantly. Always being sent from one house to the next every few years once he became unwanted. As Raulin turned to his fourteenth day-of-birth, he had left his final family. Travelling to Abresi, Raulin picked up many jobs: Carpenter's Assistant, farmhand, messenger, and even as a librarians assistant. But sadly, none of these jobs held an interest to him as he wandered on through the kingdom towards Abresi. 

It was only when Raulin turned 15 had he really started to put some thought into the identity of his father, he knew his father was involved with the VonSchlichtens -whoever they were- and that he was travelling with their company. Questions constantly clouded his once clear mind, often unable to concentrate on his work. What was his father's first name? Was he a servant for the VonSchlichtens? Why had he left his mother to die a painful and lonely death. It seemed for every question he thought of, more new questions were spurred on. 

Years later, Raulin would travel to the small island of Gallmore after hearing word of there being a "VonCo" business working there. On the island, he met his uncles: Gestahl and Mandru... And his estranged grandfather Reinhardt, the very man to have betrayed Raulin's father Saul. And yet, there was no sign of Saul on this quiet island in the ocean... Well, quiet apart from the shouts and curses from Reinhardt from his tower.

Months after his arrival to Gallmore, Raulin had to move on again. He had picked up no clues whatsoever on the whereabouts of his father, and so he hid upon a trade ship leaving Gallmore: full of VonSchlichten wine barrels. Naturally, Raulin drank his fill of these barrels before falling off the side of the ship, and washing back onto the mainland with little to no memory of the past year. So, with a belly full of sour wine, our hero set off for the realm's longest pub crawl- still with the intention of finding Saul, of course. 

After his legendary pub-crawl, filled with brawls, women, and ale... and more ale, Raulin found himself at the Fringe- away from the "comforts" of Anthos, but ever eager to find his father, and the poision he had grown so fond of. And so, he began searching for both his House of VonSchlichten and his father Saul.

Skin: 

Expect a certain someone to arrive in Gallmore soon...

Soon= 1 Week+

Thank you for this well needed post on our rules, and the clarification of swearing. Oh, Danny, what would we do without you? :)

NOW POST ALL THE IG COMMANDS >:[ 

Do you even lift?

Alright,

 

We all know I'm not the servers favorite GM.

Are you high?! We love you :)

Anyway, back to business. From looking at Sparehoe's recent collection of data, would you say that the community/server is going into a state of decline? What could be done in order to improve our server, realm, and community. And most importantly: What can we, the members do to aid the staff in improving the community and server as a whole?

7/10

This quote seems pretty appropriate right now:

"And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."

LOTC has experienced minor turbulence in its community, the leavers are a small issue compared to what we have faced beforehand. The hacking? Not so much. But as always, the community and staff alike have prevailed.

And yes, I did just take an inspirational quote from Batman Begins. Deal with it.

Congratulations are most definitely in order for our new evil overlords Forum Moderators! 

Good job, Skyyyobee, Hightower, Aiim, Ski, and Jarkarll! I hope you (try to) enjoy your new staff positions, and long hours of unpaid labour!!

Why did you choose "Sparehoe" as a name?

Snowshovel is a brilliant (and skinny) person to be around. He already exhibits some level of responsibility, and seems to be a level-headed individual from what I have seen so far. I support this application.

Matt is a great guy, from the time I knew him as iMattyz, he has always been a friendly person to me. He has always invited me to any chats he has been in, and seems to respect me despite the age difference. 

An extremely mature individual that definitely deserves a high-up staff position such as a Forum Moderator, I already know that a person such as Matt will be able to perform his tasks efficiently, and without any problems.

Full support from me! +1

From my experience with Arzota on the forums so far, I would have to say that he is a mature individual with many ideas. From what I've heard: he's a great roleplayer too!

I support! 

Congratulations to both Freya and Gemmy!

Monkey has been a great friend to me for many months. He has always made me feel good about myself, and is the most mature person of his age that I have ever met.
As a current AT member, Monkey has amazing organisational skills that are frequently shown in his acceptances/denials on whitelisting applications that should prove sufficient to this position, and he takes his current position on the Application Team as a fully-fledged professional. Monkey has always taken his roleplay as well as staff position seriously.

Monkey is a highly commendable individual for a position on the Event Team.

Spamshok has always been helpful, and an all-round nice person!

I give my full support on this application.

Great guide! I usually have trouble starting roleplay, so I end up standing around sighing until someone notices...
