I enjoy that Parthenon but I personally would like to see arches as he said he is skilled with them and they can be tricky to be down correctly. I also like the ruins that you have built although Native might want to see a little bit more of them. Overall you make great use of your texture pack.

((I agree. This was a lot of fun and was full of character development.))

((I would love feedback from fellow elves))

(( /modreq for a character reroll... Unfortunately you must start of with the base amount of stats unless you want to be an elf still. In which case you don't even need to reroll.))

*After having finished reading the heated conversation Iatrilemar points out the comment about the Orcs by Xemn'Vus to a fellow elf also reading the board.

Iat comments to the elf about how even though Orcs are brutal in nature they do not push their beliefs and culture onto those of other races. The Mori hold their belief so high that any one person who thinks otherwise is therefore inferior and must be educated by punishment. The Mori choose to be ignorant to viewpoints of the rest of Malinor concerning slavery.

Finishing his comment to the other elf he chuckles and walks off back to his home to scetch out some more home renovation plans to hand to Sythra later*

This is a wonderful idea in my opinion and in turn will make blacksmiths more valuable.

Ever thought about adding criticals that would pierce the armor a little bit?

Exp:

*so-in-so hits what's-his-face.*

-Critical hit-

-Armor absorbs 1 heart-

-damage pierces for 2 hearts-

Just a basic idea.

I built two elven homes. The first is a smaller three story home in a Circular shape. Everything you see was designed by me, I used pictures of elven buildings for inspiration.

Here is a picture of it.

Here is the second home. It is bigger and uses more of the "higher quality materials"

I will also be posting these designs and an future ones in a seperate forum.

Enjoy.

*As usual Iatrilemar has pinned a note written in precise and elegant calligraphy to the center column of the barracks as well as onto the bulletin board by the Elder Tree and the docks.*

Attention All Guards,

Make sure that you either stay active as a part of the Normandor Sentinels or you send your resignation to the High Commander, Prince Darion, or any of us Warden's. It is our duty to keep records of all current Guard members and don't want any misunderstandings in the future regarding you and who isn't a Guard.

On that note all former Guards that choose to remain in Normandor know you will receive no special treatment and must abide to the law of no armor or weapons equipped on your persons within city limits, including Normandor Heights, and the docks.

All Guards,

You must leave the gates open if there are no Guards to man it. We cannot lock our own citizens out of the city to fend for themselves. Unless the city is under high alert we can manage having the gates not down at all times.

Thank you for your future compliance.

-Warden Iatrilemar Elervathar

*Iatrilemar approaches the notice board and notices the new note forcefully attached to the board. As he reads it his smile turns to frown.

The news of guards disrespecting citizens, even if they are from another town sends flashes of anger into his heart. There is nothing he hates worse than racial ignorance and disrespect. He leaves the board and heads to the barracks about ready to burst at the first initiate he finds.

Getting just past the Normandor apartments she stops suddenly with a clear mind. He shakes his head and with a deep sigh turns around and heads home.*

I meant crowded by the labels not the space being used for buildings... The amount of structures within a certain space does not matter. In fact it helps when everything is really close together. I agree that an option to turn off labels would be very nice.

Ever thought about making an mobile map app for iPhones an such?

The map looks TOO crowded! It is a tool that is highly useful for new players. Label only important places such as towns, docks, capitals, and maybe inns... It might be nice to have a feature on the map that tells you who owns that thing on the map...

"Farmer! If you could also clean up all the melons from the underfarm or ask someone to do so. The underfarm isn't meant for farming. It is for farmer's housing. I would appreciate it being cleaned up to a more presentable state. Think of the embarrassment one might feel if other cities saw the state of it being... Overgrown..."

*A note is hung on the pillar of the barracks for all those in the guard to see.

((THIS IS IMPORTANT))

*The elegantly written letters read

All Current guards are required to send a bird or leave a note for Warden_Iat with your name and current standing in the guard as he is constructing a ledger listing active members of the guard... This is mandatory for all wishing to continue their service with the guard. Thank you.

--Iatrilemar

==OOC==

Me and the High Commander are making a list of all guard members. I require some information from all of you and it is easier if I don't have to go to each individual in game and frankly I don't know each individual. This list will be key for keeping the guard up to date. The following items are required from all CURRENT guard members.

Minecraft account Name:

Current Rank:

RP name: -Note that my RP name would not be Warden_Iat. It would be Iatrilemar. The rank implies that My RP name will be tagged with "Warden"

Send this info in a message on the forums through a personal conversation with ME or ON HERE. It would make my life so much easier.

ALSO. This is not a recruitment forum. ALL recruitments are currently being done IC'ly. Please do not post here about joining the guard.

Please inform me of any questions you have

Thank you,

--Iat

==OOC OVER==

*Another smaller note lay attached to this one. It appears to have been written by the Warden as well. It reads:

"Also all initiates and scouts are required to clean the barracks.... It is becoming quite filthy and I am tired of having to wash such untastful debris from my clothing. I know how you all like the company of dust and dirt but we need to keep this place presentable.

--Iat"

I believe that it shouldn't take 15 lumberjacking to turn logs into planks. This makes everything else much harder for new players. Make it produce 1 plank at zero?

((note that I have been gone on a senior trip))

It has been brought to my attention that High Commander Tyras has been replaced by Darion.

If at all possible may he who has been proclaimed new High Commander please mark it here in our scrolls, as well as write down all information and recuitment here as well. The Guard are disorganized right now and it has been hard to understand any of the new laws, rules, tenats, and structure.

I also ask that High Commander Darion require all current gaurds to re-apply for their position so that each and every person has a clear roll assigned to them.

Also I am asking that any currently listed members of the Guard to please keep the supply room organized, and not to take with greed. It is all of our duty to make sure the Guard are well supplied.

((to prevent Metagaming and verbal powergaming. Just like its a rule that you cannot join the server from the get go as a Mori, you cannot just know their language either.))

((I am being devil's advocate right now but it seems to me that to become Mori is to metagame. If you can't enter Asulon with the character backstory of knowing the language and the only way to learn is through rp then how can one honestly become a Mori without metagame? Since Mori aren't chosen from the start and must be selected then if the person selected was taught the language on a different character then the knowledge of that language being transferred over into their new Mori character is in a way Meta. One may say that since the person is a new character that they wouldv'e been born a Mori and would have grown up with the language. That is all explained with ooc, which is similar to Hamin explaning that he was taught the langauge.

Again just playing devil's advocate. Try to see some sort of logic in my claim.))

===OOC===

I have a few ideas.

First one that I have had for quite a while now is the construction of two sister islands to the farming island. The two islands would be like the farming island where they are accessed through Normandor. As an example: We could move the the gaurds, army, and jail to one of the islands, and make the other island the Mage's college ((I like the one we have now it's just in an awkward spot in my opinion.)) There can even be more housing on these islands with distinctly different housing styles on them. ((One could be High Elven style or something of the sort.))

I was reading the post about the Mage library and thought that the Forest of Malinor would be a great place for such a thing. The forest feels like an empty pit and it would be nice if something was in it.

I have been working diligantly to help reduce their swelling numbers. My clearest and best advice would be to stay away from the areas engulfed in shadows until they can be cleansed and lit. The Guard will do it's best to ensure the children of Normandor remain safe.

Signed,

Guardian Iat

I have already seen a huge change in the mob spawn rate. Unfortunately they have been spawning all over the city of Normandor... Time to light the place up a bit more. Great job though... I can finally make some money again

(Anyways if they were, I wouldn't think that the kharajyr would attack those that so closely resemble the elves of haelunor. It would make sense that the kharajyr would focus on physical attributes that the elves had, mainly their ears, and see them as allies. Also The kharajyr are new to the interracial socialization and politics so along with all the physical elven attributes the fact that Normandor and Haelun'or are so close in proximity I find it problematic that the Kharajyr woudln't think the two are both allies.

Again I really enjoyed the rp. It was excellent. It was just problematic. Nothing that can't be resolved with some more great rp though.)

(Not that I didn't enjoy the rp... It was some good rp, but aren't the kharajyr allies with Haelunor?)

*leaves a note asking who he should contact to get a home"

*a note is left on the charred remains of Iat's home. It reads:

Dear Friends,

I wanted to let you all know that I have recovered from my coma and more importantly the plague. I can't imagine the fear you all felt once I had contracted it. Again I am sorry for letting such a thing happen. I so assure you that I am feeling quite fine.

However I do not feel comfortable caring on in Normandor for the time being, so I am going back to Riverwood which has been abandoned for years. I plan to try to find balance in my life and deal with the emotional disfigurement that the plague put me through. I do not know when I shall return but please send word to me if need be. Farewell my friends.

Sincerly,

Iat

((I am joining the Kharajyr for the time being. I don't know for how long but at least you know Iat isn't dead and may return one day. Also I think it goes without saying that I know my time as a Normandor gaurd has come to a halt. I hope you all enjoyed this rp experience as much as I did.))

Also it may be wise to consider adding a "character description" to the app since it is important that the player knows what his character looks like. I know I read how to rp a panthera and got their height and weight but it might be good to have that assurance that the lore has been read.

To be honest the skin was a very basic template that I found on planetminecraft. I then added personal touches. It's about 50% of my own work, but I plan on making an actual skin as I get father along.

I will be on the island soon I just need to wait till my character Iatrilemar dies (see "it's here" in Normandor role-play.)

Once I'm on the island do I keep my stats the way they are or do te gms automatically give me a skill reset?
