You're not understanding my argument. I'm saying that you don't need artificial rules and systems to dictate and control this, he's arguing against the current system that favors independence/player agency. You can't FORCE players to be a part of something they don't want to be a part of.

The reality is this: Player groups on LoTC have their own cliques and cultures. These friend groups, cliques, cultures and whatever simply don't mix with nations such as Haense for example. This typically ends in the eventual balkanization of the server. To do what you are suggesting would actually kill off all activity in the server as these player groups simply don't want to be a part of your one nation 1984 state, nor do they want to be subject to a weak NL that just wants to steal their activity, numbers and by greater extent their friends. They'd simply establish a new nation out of spite and if they can't, they'll leave the server instead of being forced to be part of some nation they don't wish to be a part of. You can't and will not stop balkanization and any attempt to do so is folly as it just makes it happen faster. This is a player issue not a staff or rule issue. I'm not dumb and I know what you're calling for, it won't happen. It will never happen. My advice to you and your clique @Xarkly, stop trying to rule the world before you end up suffering the same fate Oren did in the Acre rebellion. I don't understand what it is with this strange and dangerous obsession for control over player agency, leave people alone. There is absolutely no rule or system you can introduce to this server to help you control the playerbase, they don't want to be under human empire number 108. They don't want vassalage and they don't want domination. All I can gather from this post is some poor attempt at trying to be manipulative and convince people that an empire/big autocratic nation wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. It absolutely is and has never led to anything positive on this server, ever.

I was there and it was CRINGE.

I'll build them for you again..

Foo'Tzie has finished sharpening his foot knife, an execution is imminent. The goblin begins to chant in hushed whispers.. "Foo'tzies fo dah foo'tzy Krugz, zhoez-zhooz for zah Zhooe thr'zone.."

Foo'Tzie Dah Footstabbah can be seen sharpening his foot stabbah on a grindstone. As he does this, the muffled cries of a Haensetic queen can be heard from behind a locked door.

Foo'tzie Da Footstabbah is handed the missive from Grommash, he delivers it to to every Wargoth in the land. Additionally, the snickering fiend begins plotting with his underlings. A vile plot to steal Varn's shoes and sever his tendons was now in the works.. Woe to any who anger the Foo'tzie clan.

To be frank, I will never understand why this wasn't a thing a long long time ago. As for aging, a Necro's ultimate goal can be to cheat death through obtaining lichdom or some other form of "ascendancy" that renders them beyond death. The degradation of the body and of the soul is a core aspect of Necromancy as the more the soul withers and rots, the more their morality decays until any means of self-preservation becomes acceptable.

A few days

I have a better idea, Tythus can start an only fans page and give the money to charity.

Buried in the snow and surrounded by flames.. A weapon like no other. The two handed weapon would be marred and chipped by centuries of use. A stone tablet had been left in its wake; a challenge to the false and unwitting worshippers of Malleus. “False Rurics, false Edvardsons.. We know of your corruption and subsequent perversion of the All-Father’s decrees. We stood by and watched, as was his will. However, the time for reprisal is coming and with it our silence is broken." "You have allowed wytchcraft, you have tolerated the wicked. Those few keepers who still adhere to the true ways of the faith are silenced, too afraid to speak out against a false king who would oppose them otherwise. Barbarians ravage the shores, ravage your lands and you cower in fear behind your petty gates." "The All-Father is displeased, the true faith is in peril. Weakness has prevailed over the lot of you, the histories of Seahelm are to happen yet again." "Yet, should you choose to repent, to renew what has been lost. A worthy soul must step into the hearth flames and pick up his blade.. Should they do so unscarred, the ruin of the unworthy shall be at hand." "To whomever becomes the vessel of his reckoning; Let none survive. Be they friend or foe, they must be punished.”

Good on you, the toxicity in this community has only gotten worse over the years and no one's done anything to stop it. This community is literally killing itself by driving people away, we've had numerous individuals who only wanted to correct issues get banned for some really stupid reasons. There's people getting harassed, doxxed or worse and nothing gets done about it. This used to be a good community where people could just get together and do what they wanted, this is simply no longer the case.
