Caln McHarnish rolls happily in his grave.

Constanz smiles at the invitation.

“House Vilac partied are the best, so I’m told.”

If the everything you’ve done on this server went right for you, what do you envision accomplishing?

Constanz nods as he reads over the missive, sipping on a glass of Petran Pinot. He’d turn towards his wife.

“Lady Bianca has been a shining example of House Jazloviecki. I am thrilled to hear this news.”

Archduke Constanz nods as he reads the missive. “A fine job by the Sons once again.”

“Ah, state owned commerce. Right next to my favorite of state owned media.” Smiles Archduke Constanz as he sips a glass of Pinot Petra.

Archduke Constanz reads over the report of the hunt, nodding in satisfaction. “I have full confidence that the hunters will take down this beast soon and keep Petrans safe.”

Archduke Constanz reads over the news with his morning coffee, nodding to his wife "A splendid piece of work!" he comments.

“A fine piece of work” comments Constanz as he reads the history.

A messenger rode through the streets of Valfleur, baring down on the city’s keep. Upon bringing news of the landing, Archduke Constanz would shake his head in disappointment. He would summon the Round Table, uttering his degree in unison with the Archduchess.

“We just achieved peace in the Heartlands and will not be called into conflict when peace has just been made. Let it be known that any who join this cause will be stripped of all titles and possessions within the Commonwealth. This sham will find no shelter here.”

Archduke Contanz smiles at the opportunity to honor the good Sons of Petra.

“Now this is fine work” says the Archduke of Petra.

Constanz nods his head at the peace, glad to have it. He would sigh as another noble asks him for land in the new borders "Good grief, now the real battle begins."

“Outrageous, I neither knew nor approved such a thing! This is why the media must be controlled by the State.” muttered an irked Archduke, tearing down the fake news.

The new Archduke of Petra nods in approval at his brother’s words upon reading the missive.

“Well done, brother. An honorable act befitting of a future ruler. I hope you visit soon.”

1. What is your first memory of me

2. What is your favorite/iconic grnappa memory

There's my first memory of you as a recruit and my first memory of you when you returned full time to the server. I prefer the latter.

You had gotten into a bar fight in the capital and had to be bailed out of jail. I believe you took on multiple people. We later went back to pay retribution which I think may have kept you around for a bit longer. I always figured you would suddenly disappear as you had in the past, but this time, you decided to stick around. 

I'm grateful that you did. We've become very close since you've been around. Luckily, I have your IP now so if you disappear again, Ark and I will track you down.

My favorite memory of you is probably from the AIS war when you and I devised the strategy to target the lesser partners of the AIS Coalitions. Our raids on the elves, particularly the one where we snuck into their city and started to assassin creed their civilians, is my favorite.

Been your loyal rabid lapdog since I first joined the server and not even an honorable mention smh.

 

No mentions for people who change their usernames. #DeleteUsernameChanges

But I will provide my favorite memories of you. First off, playing 20 characters in Siegrad only to break more laws and be offed is probably the most hilarious. I am glad you stuck around for those times. You made them a lot of fun.

However, I have to give it to the Animal. One of Humanity's most fearsome warriors. The monstrosities that were committed during the Dreadlander and Courlandic wars were incredible and would not have been won without your help.

Hi Eddy! So I know you've seen a lot of wars. What were some of your favorite battles, and which were some of your least favorite?

 

Additionally, what are some of the fond memories that you've had throughout both Oren and Haense's long histories?

My favorite battles that come to mind are ones that worked smoothly on the server. The Battle of the Dreadfort in 3.0 was epic and well done. The Teutonic Order assault on Acre in 2.0 was a blast (throwback to when we had cannons). My favorite war period was in Vailor between the Duke’s War, the Dreadlander Wars, and the Courlandic Wars. This period on lotc for me was is almost constant warfare with an incredible group of guys and gals. Brings people close.

My least favorite battle had to be the final warclaim of the Duke’s War. What was a decently run war (tensions were high on both sides OOCly), it came to an anticlimactic ending with an extremely laggy siege. The siege tower was TPed in randomly, lava was thrown everywhere, and the entire warclaim ended all at once when we all lagged out in lava. If I could cry over spilt milk, it’d be that one.

Top memories of Oren and Haense hmmm…. (In no particular order)

1. RPing as a new player in Renatus and Acre. Helping with the formation of Oren.

2. Early 3.0 Anthos. My favorite map. Ranger guild and the distinguished Kingdom of Telemar.

3. Late 3.0. Founding of House Othaman. First time playing a Northerner and leading wars against the Dwarves.

4. Fringe and temp maps. CHANGING MAPS IS THE BEST. Dynamic RP, super cool situations. Brothels getting banned, Adunians, and the founding of the Imperial Army were all highlights.

5. Establishment of early Haense with @Ark@JuliusAakerlund and @yopplwasupxxx

6. Early Dukes War, continuation of Haense with the boys @grnappa@moosehunter123 @Flapman @jamyei
 @Gridlock @Birdman@Birdnerdy  @ave_imperium@Shadowhunter464and many, many more

7. Gold Corps, establishment of Haense, the Northern Question, founding of the Kingdom of Haense.

@cruzazul
@Vege
@Pureimp10

@seannie

@6xdestroyer
@InfamousGerman

Just to name a few legends off the top of my head from then. 
 

8. Founding the 5th (and 6th, haters gonna hate) Empire. Humanity had been getting wrecked by Courlandic Coalitions. Unification of man. The fight back. 
 

@Thatpyrodude@nazdus @Tsuyose

9. Stewarding Haense. For many years, I played characters that were simply interested in helping Haense. Maybe a bit of OOC desire bleeding into RP, but it was a pleasure helping in various ways so Haense could continue to evolve under so many great folks. 
 

@Piov @Emenzi @AndrewTech

@Ark @Birdnerdy
 

10. The Rangers of Eastwood most recently. It was a nice break where we enjoyed RP, each other’s company, and the occasional piece of violence. Shoutout

@Harald @alicia @Ticklem0nster@Birdnerdy  @KBR @grnappa and many more

What's the thing that makes the nostalgia juices flow the most for you when you hear it?

 

Whats a sage piece of advice you have to give?

Nostalgia wise, anything that has to do with creating something IRP. I’ve always viewed LotC as a sandbox to try new things, governments, cultures, leadership styles, etc. Whether it was the original conquest of Oren with Mog in the early days or the conquests that led to the establishment of Haense or the deeds of various Ranger groups throughout the server, that will always bring me nostalgia. 
 

Truthfully, the thing that brings me the most nostalgia and logging on and seeing Haense continue to be successful and thrive. It’s history and culture is incredible, and whenever I get the chance to log in and see someone else take that vision and make it their own, I can’t help but be happy. You’ve done a great job as king. Thank you for carrying on and growing to Haense’s legacy.

As for sage, that’ll be up to you to decide. My advice would be to experience everything LotC has to offer. Don’t trade IRL experiences for LotC. Don’t trade LotC for IRL experiences that do not help you grow. LotC is a lot like a small high school. Everyone may have an opinion about you, but those opinions won’t matter as soon as you shut down your computer. You are who you are. Use LotC to try to discover things about yourself you didn’t know were possible.

Who is eddywilson1

Gecko, and @Braxisalmost banned me for the misdeeds of the dastardly eddywilson1 while I was drunk at a bar.

Over 10 years. Sheesh. 
 

I don’t have a rant or any wisdom. LotC has always been a place to hangout with friends, go on adventure, and try new things. I’m very appreciative of this server, especially to the staff who constantly have seen over it. Whether you have a good opinion of them or not, they spend countless hours of their lives giving back to the server to keep it running. It’s no easy task. Thank you for doing so as long as you have.

I’d like this to be about memories. Share one of your favorite memories on the server. If I get a shoutout for being part of it, bonus points. Feel free to ask my anything if you’d like, but I’d rather spend this reliving memories.

Cheers, To Many More
