Sons of Petra

“Dignity in Death.”

OOC Intention:

Purpose: 

“All men are not created equal. Some will carve their name into the annals of time, while others die a whisper moments after their passing. The Sons of Petra know no greater fear than being forgotten.” 

The principles of the Sons of Petra are simple.

1. Dignity in Death - If you live a life worth living, you have no reason to fear death.

2. Honor among Brothers - Our unity is our greatest strength.

3. Be Badass - We are not here to cower, we are not here to fear, we are here to have the world know our name.

The Son’s Creed:

We are the Sons of Petra!

We are the walls of Petra!

The spears that impale the hearts of her enemies!

To serve Her Grace is our pride!

To die for Petra is our duty!

Dignity in Death!

Ranking Structure: 

High Command:

Commander - Leader of the Sons of Petra. Command of all military matters are final. They answer directly to the sovereign of the Commonwealth.

Deputy Commander - Specialized rank, second in command only to the commander. While there may be more than a single deputy commander they have final say in all matters in the absence of the Commander.

Officer: 

Lieutenant -  Responsible for training and drilling the troops. They have proven leadership and will ensure that the Commander and Deputy Commander’s commands are done.

Sergeant - Responsible for assisting the Lieutenant and high command with training and drilling troops. They report directly to the Lieutenants and ensure that those who join are keeping the standards of the Sons. 

Rank-and-File:

Bannerman - They have earned their skulls and are allowed to don the skull of the Sons. 

Footman - Someone who has passed the initiation process and is officially a member of the Sons of Petra.

"READ YOUR HISTORY." Lambert said, handing out the article to people. 

Alexander Petrus perked his brow upon realizing this, "Hrmph, maybe I can submit something." he said realizing she lived in Petra too!

"This is not bad ass." Lambert would remark upon hearing the report from some Petra Patrol member. "We just made peace, we're going to enjoy it." 

Lambert rallies the Son's to bring this beast to justice! Lambert is tired of being bothered by murders while he's trying to drink.

Welcome back! What's your favorite experience of RP you have had on the Craft?

"Bad ass," he remarks to the Archduchess. 

"Bad ass." Lambert would say, appreciating the shout out.

Lambert takes a tour of the new land, looking to place military fortifications.

((I like the skin & name!))

*looks at every Barbanov and smiles* 

Lambert would smile upon being read this by one of the nerd's in the Petra Patrol. 

"VOTE FOR FRUIT-FACE!" Lambert could be heard screaming in the streets. 

Peasants Union of Petra [PUP]

"We got that dog in us." - Pavel

In order to ensure better treatment of the Peasants of Petra, Barrett has created a more perfect union to stand up for peasant rights in the Commonwealth. To prevent the wanton abuse of the working class from the gentry and nobility he wishes to organize the peasant’s of the realm into a political union to give them better collective bargaining. 

Since the first man declared himself a king, peasant blood has been spilled to form kingdoms, maintain wealth and continue the patriarchal system that has led to domination of the Commonfolk. With very little education, Barrett has decided to take a stand and has created the Peasant Union of Petra, or PUP. 

GOALS OF THE PUP:

• Have a PUP representative in every level of Government.

• Lower taxes for members of PUP.

• Special PUP only events.

• Prevention of Peasants and PUP members from the patriarchal & tyrannical systematic abuse levied by the Gentry & Nobility. 

Roles:

President: Barrett 

Executive Keeper of the Books: Rhosyn

Open Roles! Meet Barrett for ideas. 

first 

this is lit

This is incredible! Thank you for putting this together.

if lotcs world was dynamic road rp would be worth it...... buttttt lotcs world is not dynamic enough to the point that road rp will ever be worth sacrificing players time

 

as old as the server is, and as old as some of the playerbase is, i would expect the currency of time to be valued above all else. a lot of us are in college, have lives, jobs, etc (and ik someone below is going to subironically quote this section and go HAHA no we dont we play MINECRAFT so stfu noob) and honestly i cbf'd to run around settlement to settlement just to find rp, after 30 mins to an hour of searching for it during the time i log on

 

oh and this isn't even addressing the thrilling rp you get when you're stopped on the roads and robbed into an 8 hour crp fight or alternatively get clicked to death which is the most epic char development you'll ever get omg ebin:DDDDD

 

fast travels r the great equalizer, cause at least then you can efficiently find rp and not deal with wasting ur time 

 

edit: take away staffs ability to /warp and /tp for a month and you'll never hear about an lotc without fast travel again 

 

edit to the edit: made it big and red for emphasis 

 

I've never thought about that, but that definitely makes sense.

exactly this

road RP is a dead dream. when RP is centralized in nation capitals and settlements, we should be allowing players the easiest tools to access that RP, not force it down players' throats

I agree, we just make it as easy as possible for people to RP. It takes a lot of work to create RP on the server.

I mean - honestly? If places decide to be in the middle of nowhere, they should also take the downsides. I don't think it would really be fair otherwise, especially for established settlements.

I appreciate your honesty.

If a place decides to be in the middle of nowhere, they will still get less natural foot traffic than a place that's right next to one of the hubs. However, you don't always have the decision of where you are going to settle. Sometimes you're given land under someone for a village or town, fast travels create a slight equalizer, where I still have to put in more work to get people to want to come into my fast travel but a "hey it will take you 5 minutes to get here" instead of "20-30 minutes."

Plus it reduces the super painful feeling of traveling for 20 minutes to find out a place doesn't have anyone to RP with. (Lots of people log off after this).

i think this would make bandit rp on the roads, etc... basically obsolete. i think our current system of using horses to travel is efficient enough, and ive never had a problem with it. personally, ive never had a horse ride take longer than 5-10 minutes at most.

as for new players and horses - i believe one should perhaps be given for a temporary time? like while you have the pink name tag, you also have a horse available at all times so you can easily get from point A to B just by following road signs on your horse

We have fast travels right now and i've dealt with bandit RP twice in the last two days. Bandits don't create much RP on the server, settlements by and far are the great majority of the server's activity. We should be promoting what works.
