Ser Paul Ryan

"Do not the Vladovs commit heinous raids alongside bandits upon His Majesty's city? The Raevir swine are no better than those of de Sola."

"Didn't anyone tell you, pal? The Storm King lost the throne!"

Paul jr. says, shaking his head.

"Why can't we all just be pals?" he speaks sadly to himself.. 

Paul Jr. shrugs.

"Are we sure this is enough to best a house as powerful as the De Sola's? Clearly, we should all fear their might..." he says, worried. 

Paul Jr. shakes his head in absolute disgust.

"Orenian politics sure were a lot simpler without all of these powerful kiddos trying to waggle their manhood about..."

Paul Jr. shakes his fist!

"Day of the council decision when??" 

Arik Vanir shakes his head in utter, absolute disgust.

"It is the duty of the enlightened Orenian man to aid our elven brothers. Were it not for our intervention, they would still today feel the lash of the silver city, and be forced to such dramatic action as to even curb their own civil population. Any who would seek to upset the cooperation and prosperity found between human and elf is, without a shadow of a doubt, an utterly repulsive and mentally deranged creature."

He then goes off to hang out with his good chum, Franz. 

Isn't it obvious

Walking along the desert, Paug the orc was very hot. "It is hot" he said to himself, wiping the sweat from his sweaty brow. He then saw his orc friend, Tum, in the distance. "Tum!" he shouted. He ran to tum, and applied to join his Boar Tusk Warband. He is a fierce, passionate fighter and lover and enjoys poetry, which often makes him the butt of cruel jokes from the rest of his orc friends. He hopes one day he can eventually squat greater and greater amounts and become accepted by the other nobs, who he looks up to.

 What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member?

Arik Vanir –

The brother of Duke Vasili Vanir, Arik is the former Lord Steward of the Kingdom of Akovia, and, later, the Reformed Kingdom of Oren. He primarily oversaw the running of the Kingdom of Akovia during the days of the Great Schism War, and helped facilitate the removal of the Mad King Varon Kovachev, for the good of his people. Now, he resides in Port Vydrik, and helps manage his brother’s ducal holdings, governing the people of Vanaheim.

Ser Paul Jr –

Son and sole heir of the renowned Ser Paul Ryan, Ser Paul Jr. is the realm-famous owner and operator of Paul’s Pals™, a roving band of adventurers that seeks to help those in trouble and also like more or less anyone who they happen to see. Handsome, charming, and suffering from severe schizophrenia and a rare bipolar disorder, he travels the land making friends selling odds and ends.

I am of course willing to sacrifice either character should it, for some reason, be deemed necessary.

 What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain.

Many of my events would focus primarily on Humans, the largest playing faction of the server. Having played a human/Subhuman for the entirety of my time on LOTC, and experiencing everything from the enlisted ranks of various military orders to the ranks of the privy council IC and OOCly, I’ve developed an extensive understanding of the human playerbase, know many who call it home, and have had many varied roleplay experiences with humans.

As well as this, I have also travelled extensively across the map IRP, both as “Ser Paul Ryan” and “Ser Paul Jr.”, taking on roles as a traveling merchant, raving lunatic, highway brigand, royal inspector, etc, and frequently interacting with players from each major race and many minor factions, providing events that can be enjoyed regardless of character’s race, background or allegiances. I’ve been contacted multiple times by players from many different backgrounds after a roleplay session in which they complimented the unique, funny and enjoyable experience which just occurred, which has largely inspired my desires to join the ET team and continue this tradition.

 What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?

The absolutely key point to any event is player interaction, involvement, and enjoyability. The players must feel immersed and as if they are part of the events taking place, not as though they are simply bystanders witnessing it happen. I find direct communication and involvement with individuals in crowds often allows for a unique experience that is enjoyable for everyone.

It’s important to insure that the event is note on an entirely linear timeline, and to allow the players the opportunity to alter your (hopefully flexible) event by banding together and taking action, and enjoy themselves.

 When was the last time you saw a event?

The major map transition into 4.5/Vailor was the last event I saw/partook in.

 What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing?

I have a fairly decent handle on the LOTC lore and history, and a strong talent for creative writing, organization and policy making. I've helped draft in-character resolutions for roleplay and out of character responses to major policy changes/server events, and have for many months/years now been in a leadership position OOCly and RPly.

 Why do you want to be part of the ET?

For a long time, I've traveled around the map on gimmick characters, constantly changing my role from day to day. On Monday, I would be a travelling salesman, offering my “enchanted youth powder” that was really just glowstone dust at cheap, unbeatable prices to each person I saw on the road. On Tuesday, I would declare myself royal tax collector or inspector, and demand access to a private fortress of home so I could scrutinize its contents. So on, and so forth. This has led to innumerable situations, including the causation of the great chicken plague of siegrad (2015-2015), the crashing of Queen Ceriwyn’s family tea party, and, somehow, my execution on only one occasion. I honestly believe that small scale events that brighten only one or two players days at a time are what make this server amazing, and I've had a hell of a time creating my own for some time now. Massive staff-led events can be incredibly enjoyable and open to everyone, but sometimes, a small one on one interaction with a travelling actor can be all you need to get back into the vibrant roleplay experience you've missed for a long time. To be able to join the ET team and actively contribute towards creating a more enjoyable experience to a broader base of players, and to directly be a part of the staff team which (I admit) I often criticize is something I am looking forward to having the chance of.

 Create three distinct RP scenarios/events based on LOTC lore that you would organize. These are pitches to the Managers and Freema, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon.

 1) For 1-3 person

Walking along the pleasant riverside, you are startled to suddenly see a bearded face poking out of the bushes. Your eyes go wide, and you recoil as the man’s stench hits you – pure carrion black. The Jolly looking Ruskan Man quickly scrambles from his comfortable hedge, stumbling only briefly, and lets loose a hearty laugh.

“Am thinking you are niet so tough. Come! Is time for the game of challenges!”

Against your will, you’ve been roped into a three stage contest against a raging lunatic – drinking, wrestling, and trickery stands before you and the rest of your journey…

​

 2) For a group of 5-10

​

(While somewhat stereotypical, this is based on an event which I’ve proposed to local leaders/residents of Vanaheim, who have taken to it with great earnest, and look forward to it one day happening. Due to a public response that can easily be summed up as eager, I think it only apt to include this event here.)

 

For many years, these waters have remained undisturbed, its tranquil surface hiding the colossal beast down below. Now, with the recent expansion of human settlements along the coast, and the fishing boom that’s drained much of the water in the nearby area, a great terror spoken of only in myth has come forth…

Players on board of a ship(s) are caught mid-transit when they’re boat is suddenly accosted by a ferocious sea serpent, destroying the mast of the boat and leaving it dead in the water. Players must work cooperatively to slay the gargantuan beast, all the while being thrown to and fro from water geysers and sudden ship damage. Includes mild PvE against silverfish that cling to the beast’s back, and a reward for slaying the creature.

​

 3) For a group of 20+

Players are alerted of a mysterious cavern opening up outside of Felsen due to a recent earthquake, which is said to have great hordes of treasure long lost from this earth stowed in its depths. A large party of adventurers sets off into the darkness, set on exploring the caverns and discovering the valuable loot. It’s not until most of the party is inside that yet another earthquake strikes, trapping them inside. Now, stuck in the depths of the earth with limited supplies, and with mysterious noises drawing closer and closer, the players (ranging from close-knit family members and friends to hostile groups from opposing factions) must band together to survive, fighting for their sanity and survival in the dark.

 

The event will include many broadcast and ET actions (such as sudden explosions from gas pockets and the random shifting and sealing off of various sections of the tunnels), and a healthy amount of PvE as the trapped adventurers face off against spiders, ghouls, and the horrid creatures that wait in the dark, all whilst trying to work together and escape their hellish nightmare.

​

How long do you plan to stay in the ET?

Until democracy has been spread across the globe, fam, and freedom rings from sea to shining sea once more.

Anyways, I'm hoping to put a lot of characters in and have a unique book! I also don't have a name for it, so suggestions are welcome!

Title it "The Way Forward" 

Arik Vanir wipes a tear as he enters, sitting down.

"I was never nice to my stupid nephew, Harald Vanir II, before he was savagely eaten by wolves on the roadside, cold and alone. Do you think God will forgive me, Little Crow?" 

He wipes another tear for Harald, and hopes he found peace, wherever he ended up...

j-just kidding it was 2016 us presidential candidate RAND PAUL!

I support this man and his strong, faith and family centered values. 

Ser Paul Jr. gasp! 

"Neato, Bjorn!" 

"Ripperoni, friendo..." says Ser Paul Jr., weeping over his good friend Bran's corpse 

I would just like to say it's an honor to learn memes from one so enlightened and I have taken notes frivolously on the entirety of this thread. May I ask this "Meme Tank" of the greatest banter-lads of our generation on how they would spread memes to a wider audience? How can we assure that all men can meme equally, and that banter is distributed fairly in society?
