Stop.  No one wants another warclaimed that's going to evitably lag the **** out of the server.  The system in place makes for severely reduced lag battles and adds the need for more than a zerg of 1day players who log on just for war claims to boost their side in the lag fest. It was fixed for a reason, don't try and undo the advancement the community made together for the voices of the few.

Something isn't adding up here...lol I don't want to derail this topic with mindless back and forth arguing but I do not understand the reasoning behind limiting a side's numbers. Why would a faction purposefully leave out fighting-aged men? As for the original post I will try to get as many of my guys there as possible Harrison. I'm always down for some fun war games!

Minecraft name/s: cruzazul8
 
Age: 22
 
Time zone and availability: CST I am available every weekend and weekdays from 5 PM to 11 PM. That does not mean I will be on the server at those times as I try to have some sort of a social life, however I will probably be on skype.
 
Skype: zbroseph
 
What is something you have always wanted to change on the server?: One of the main goals I had in my stint as a GM and Event Team Leader was to promote cooperative and spur of the moment roleplay. I've done many good things as a GM and I feel like I can easily pick up where I left off and continue to do good for the community. 
 
On top of this I am also very fluent in the majority of the plugins so I can step in right off the bat and begin doing most of the tasks a GM is expected to do. I have extensive experience with both Voxel and World Edit and feel entirely confident with my ability to use both when called upon to do so. When I am allowed I would also love to train new GMs. I helped with this before when I was on the team and I would be very excited to continue to do so.
 
Lastly I would like to do some work with demographics. I used to collect a lot of data that would help the server figure out where it ranked upon others and how people were finding us. This can go hand in hand with advertisement and hopefully player retention as well.
 
What are your finest qualities?: I think how extroverted and outgoing I am is probably my finest quality. I will help anyone anytime without fear. I am very social and love to joke around with people. I am organized and a graduate of a 4 year university with a degree in Aerospace Engineering meaning I feel that I have the necessary knowledge to efficiently and effectively generate proper behavior and roleplay on the server.
 
I also have a load of staff experience on the server. I was an ET Leader, MAT Leader, GM, SM, and AT member. I have been helping since the start of my time here 4 years ago and I wish to continue to server the playerbase. The only reason I ever quit staff teams was because of personal issues such as my mother dying or when I was unable to keep up the workload because of school.
 
What are your worst qualities, and how could you improve these aspects?: Sometimes I can get ahead of myself and joke around too much. I have been called a troll but really I don't believe that to be the case. Yes I like to have a good time and believe in laid back and easy going roleplay but that does not mean I do not have the best interest of the server at heart. I am here to help just like everybody else.
 
What members of the Staff could you look to for guidance?: There are many members who have been influential in my growth thus far. As far as GMs and admins go I can definitely say Harold, Leric, ski_king, and Freema have helped me before and I would not be afraid to ask for their help again.
 
Who do you not get along with on the current team?: I don't have qualms with any of the staff.
 
How much free time do you have? Will this change in the foreseeable future?: I have a fair amount of free time. I just graduated from college and work from 7 AM - 5 PM on weekdays but that is really the only thing I have to do. I no longer have schooling and I am almost always available on skype even when at work.

Have you ever been banned or received a strike? If so, link the report: I was banned once mistakenly because Cappy thought I hacked firespirit's account but he actually gave me permission to get on it to do something for him and as he was an admin I didn't think it would get me banned but I guess it did sniffle. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/120561-cruzs-ban-appeal/

·        

Do you hold / have you held any other staff positions? I don't right now but I was MAT leader ET leader GM AT SM and other random stuff I cannot remember

·        

What MMORPG/video games have you / do you play? (Past and Present) Skyrim the Witcher Minecraft Runescape

·        

What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member? Boris Carrion and yes of course.

·        

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. I think I would do well with both Humans and Elves as I am very fluent in their lore

·        

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event? In my opinion an event has three key factors that make it not only successful, but also enjoyable. Without these three key things the event seems to prove unsuccessful and also generally stressful for all that are involved with it. The three key factors are:

Organization

Organization is something that when present everything seems to flow much better and events seem to get a much more positive feedback. When organization isn't present events seem to spiral out of control and become more of an annoyance then a fun, unique experience. I think with the organization of all events we can really get positive feedback when the whole thing is finished.

Originality

There is nothing worse than an overdone event. Nobody wants to go through the same rp day after day and events are usually made to give everyone a different, unique rp experience. Originality is another key factor in planning a successful event. Things that nobody would expect or think of have been through before seem to get the most positive feedback. That is why originality is most definitely one of the main factors in creating a successful event.

Player Involvement

Getting a large amount of the player base involved in events is always a good idea. That means making events in different timezones so everybody has a chance to witness the roleplay. The more people you have showing up to see the event the more exposure your unique roleplay will get. If we don't get anyone involved in our ideas there is no reason to create them in the first place.

·        

When was the last time you saw a event? A long time ago before I left the server, now that I am back I haven't seen any.

·        

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing? I I was once an ET leader so I know how the team works and I know almost all of the past server lore and have organized things for LotC for years.

·        

Why do you want to be part of the ET? I want to get back to what I do best, roleplay. I would like to make a difference once again on the server in a larger way and I believe the ET gives me that chance.

·        

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.

o

1) For 1-3 person A tavern bard travels through the different buildings of Athera playing songs depicting actual past LotC characters, giving people a certain memorable quick session where if they are veterans can actually depict the certain events the bard sings of.

o

2) For a group of 5-10 In the hidden, secluded woods of the Northern continent there were some reports of strange, foreign sightings. Some men described some kind of large golems. These golems were said to have moved on their own. Nobody knows how, all they know is they were unhappy with something. An old man who told of these sightings ordered a few men to go check it out. When those men didn't return people began to grow suspicious. Soon all the nations grew scared of the North. Every men they sent to investigate seemed to just disappear. Something had to be done, the nation’s sent their armies and when they arrived they discovered some horrifying things.

The men had been locked away in cells. These cells were nothing like a regular jail cell. Bodies were thrown all throughout the rooms. Piled almost to the roof. You couldn't tell who was dead and who was alive. The stench was almost unbearable. The smell of rotting flesh and newly lost blood was definitely imminent. A faint cry of a weak, hopeless man could be heard inside the cells. When the men looked to investigate the noise a loud, almost deafening crash could be heard from behind. The totem was near. Looking down at the soldiers with anger. They had disturbed his resting place. The tall, rocky golem showed no emotion in his face. Just a blank expression and a thundering roar. As he stepped closer the ground shook more. The men were trapped and filled with fear.

((This would be an event that is up for a lot of interpretation. It would basically be a large gathering of evil golems terrorizing the north until civilians go to investigate.))

o

3) For a group of 20+ With the coming of the new lands there also seems to be another culture that has found the new continent before us. There people do not stay in one place very long, making them very hard to track. Unaware of their friendliness most people stayed out of their way. The nomads didn’t care much about the Atherans and the Atherans didn’t care about the nomads, at least at first. One day the nomads built their camp incredibly close to our towns. For years they had remained far out in the West were they kept to themselves. Why did they decide to come here now?

The nomads wanted something, something of great importance to them. Nobody knew what it was all they knew is the would not rest until they got their hands on it. Tensions grew with the days. The longer they were without this object the more fury they had. It got so bad that the nomads decided to actually break through the walls of the towns. They wouldn’t stop until they had gotten back what was rightfully theirs. If they were to go without it, the citizens would go without their lives.

((This is another example of something I have not seen happen in LotC. This could be a small group of the event team playing as these nomads. Infiltrating the towns in search of something that nobody knew of.))

·        

How long do you plan to stay in the ET? For as long as I can. I am done with college so I have a lot of free time now

Why not spend a portion of the donation money on hiring a competent coder instead of bolstering tythus' steam catalog (meme)? There are plenty of experienced coders out there that could do a lot of good for decently cheap.

Personally I think giving people the option to go out on quests can only be a positive. Yes it might push us more towards an RPG mindset but you aren't forced to partake in the events. One of the main issues with Vailor is how stale rp is getting. It is paramount that we get people involved in the ongoings of the server and this is definitely a way to do that. I don't really see any cons with introducing this idea so +1.

The Treaty of the Godansk

19th of Horen’s Welcome, 1570

____________________________________________________________________

Joyous news reaches those fighting for the Holy Orenian Empire. The turncloak and murderer Sveneld ‘Carrion’ (self-proclaimed) was found dead on the front lines of battle. The devilish cur fell to the ills of age and disease.

In his absence, his son who has been under the care of the Imperial Court, has inherited his titles and relics. The boy, aided by a scribe, has found terms with the good and noble Imperial Estate. The contents of this passage have been proofread and solidified by signatures to show their validity and uncontested truth.

The meeting concluded with the following terms:

The Hetmanate of Krajia, its titles and holdings, have been declared null.

The Barony of Godansk, formerly the Sietch under control of the rebellious Hetman, will be ceded to Sveneld the Sly’s heir.

The Line of Yakov Carrion ‘the Accursed’, is recognized as official Nobility within the Holy Orenian Empire.

The boy, Fyodor, is allowed his rights as a Noble with Heraldry, Legend, and Land.

The boy, Fyodor, is allowed his birthright of the name Volvakov, passed on by his predecessors.

The Line of Yakov Carrion, descending from Ivan ‘the Outlaw’, is legitimized in its own right of the stain of bastardy and takes up the name Volvakovic.

The Baron of Godansk, Fyodor Volvakovic, gives up the following claims, made by his upstart father:

King of Ruska, King of Haense, King of Alras, Duke of Haense, Prince of Raev, Rightful and True Descendent of House Carrion, Patriarch of the Karovic Line and all its offspring.

The Baron of Godansk, Fyodor Volvakovic, is allowed the following relics:

The Eye of Siegmund, the Hetman’s Mace, and the Black Blade of Bogdansk.

The Baron of Godansk, Fyodor Volvakovic, is afforded the following honorary titles:

Keeper of the Hussariya, Warden of the Krajia and the Nijh, and Master of the Ostrog.

The lands of Kraija shall be held under a regency by the Imperial Administration until the boy Lord’s 18th nameday.

Fyodor Volvakovic, Baron of Godansk

I don't like any of those options. Johannesburg is alright but I think we need to pitch more ideas
