Supremacy

Lagomorphia literally invented the mechanical standard. I was sitting in LM chat while he was concocting it for the first time. If Lagomorphia says the mech standard is: Anything possible in MC that is not otherwise prohibited, I'm fairly sure he is correct.

Sure it can: Block jumping is an evoked rock platform and hitting someone through a door is lockpicking the door.

Precisely, Lago gets it.

People keep bringing up the high elves in this post. Allow me to be totally honest when I say these rules wont change how often the high elves are successfully raided at all. We've been successfully raided twice, at most three times for the whole duration of the fringe. Years of being raided as the easy target regardless of if the high elves provoke the other party have left us with such an understanding of walls that the only time people get in is when we leave ourselves vulnerable. Of the times people have raided the high elves: Once was because we left the gates open to let humans in during a battle. No complaints there. Once was because we left the gates open to let other elves in. No complaints there. There might be one more legit time but all the other ones were either repelled, happened because of glitches (boat gliders) or on the other elves who have an inferior understanding of walls. The only elves hurt by the current rules are the wood and snow elves who have to deal with trolly shout emotes from hastily constructed towers which they have to watch to make sure people aren't jumping in from said towers— Totally destroying their RP. If these raid rules are ignored or passed they won't affect my RP in the slightest. You can't raid us anyway— We've been raided to the point you can't raid us, and even when you do it doesn't bother us. There are more high elves now than there have been since I joined the high elves. If you're trying to hurt the high elven player base with raids, I'm seeing an awful lot of high elves right now. If you think I'm disadvantaged or upset with dealing with the "IC consequences to actions" you're sorely mistaken because every day there are more high elves (I'm fairly sure there are significantly more active ehigh elves in Haelun'or than dwarves in Kal'Akron or orcs in Krugmar). tl;dr I don't care if you try to raid the high elves, you can't do it 90% of the time, 5% you need to glitch to get in and the other 5% is a "good job" moment where you beat the system and won. You can't get over the walls. But you can try!

For the sake of being truthful we declined 2 war claims. One by a guy (Bgnsxxy) who made a character with the exclusive purpose of WCing the high elves without rhyme, reason or legit non-backstory provocation and the X-Ray war claim. And yet for the last 8 months, nothing has been denied. Unlike the dwarves who denied a WC last week. But again, PM me if you want to argue. Don't do it here.

Come argue with me in PMs, if desired, Destroyer. You aren't adding anything to this thread and pointing out the flaws in your arguments is just generating needless content unrelated to the OP.

Why are you making war rules about the high elves? Things to note: All elves are together. So its 'all elves' not just 'high elves'. We accepted a war claim 2 weeks ago. It isn't my fault DrakeHaze didn't want to do it with allies when obviously Vekaro is 30 blocks away. The only people currently denying war claims are the dwarves, who burnt down the high elven library, attacked and slaughtered innocent Orenites and harbour impures 'for teh lulz' IC. Now you guys chain raid Oren and the Elves. We can't end the war because the Bloc won't accept a WC on anything but an impenetrable fort— So at least stop raiding because Oren has won the war you won't let them win. So accept the war claim offered to you as opposed to hiding behind craft-book bridges and the fact that no dwarves are ever online unless your raiding so you can't be raided? The issue is, the Bloc won't stop raiding places that generate RP in 3.5 because they're bored and don't RP much in their cities until 4.0 hits. All this does is cripple RP everywhere. On top of all of this... Attacking elves OOC doesn't discredit my idea. All it does, Destroyer, is show you dislike the high elves. But none of this matters because the rule isn't about dwarves, elves, orcs or flying potatoes. So randomly attacking one another achieves nothing.

We accepted your war claim. We said you could war claim Haelun'or with all your allies and the high elves would bring all of theirs. DrakeHaze was the one who denied his own war claim, not me. i.e. The orcs, for all intents and purposes, decided not to attack IC. DrakeHaze was given the choice and decided not to pursue a WC.

Of course, Sir Drake.

"Rape RP is RP, deal with it in RP instead of putting up OOC barriers to combat it. Why would a rapist stop raping constantly if you don't satisfy his needs? Just kill the rapist IC!" We block some things because they create an undesirable server environment. Destroying RP in cities for hours at a time creates an undesirable server environment. Same logic.

Hello chaps and chapettes, A few simple suggested alterations, some of which I've suggested before, to make raids less about OOCly antagonising a group and more about RP. If you deny the all allies and standard rules pillage war claim of a group, you can not raid them more than once a week. If you do, this counts as acceptance of the war claim. If a party wins a war claim against you, you can't raid them for 2 weeks. This first rule is simple: It prevents people from hiding behind the ability to deny a war claim OOC and then raid people until they're sick of logging in. If you bring an armed group to the gates of a city and try to get in, this counts as a raid— Even if you do not manage to get in the city. You are subject to any bans/warns and also accept a standard pillage war claim. Edit: Once you leave sight range for more than 5 minutes, the raid is over. This rule is more complex in its rationale: This stops people from camping the gates of a city and shouting trolly insults to try to damage the RP going on inside. If you're going to raid: Get it over with quickly and be done with it. If you raid, you may not stay more than 15 minutes longer than when the last defender was killed or captured (you can't keep people and kill them every 15 minutes to extend this). If you do not kill or capture (as in physically restrain, not just let them sit in their house) and still linger after this time period this counts as a break in raid rules. You are subject to any bans/warns and also accept a standard war claim. This one is simple. This stops people form occupying cities and blocking RP. More than once I've seen the tree in Lin'ame camped on for an hour and a half, denying people the ability to RP in their city. Do the raiders achieve anything? No, they just damage RP. IC point made, you raided. So leave. I hope these are reasonable suggestions, folks!

Spirits and Spectral Creatures are not the same. A shaman does not investigate hauntings.

Might I suggest a quick bullet point summary? I've read it, but bullet summaries make it easier.

No LM has approved this. To approve something LMs have to bring it up in Lore Chat. After a search, it has never been brought up.
