    (( You honestly hate to see that. My condolences. A parent losing their child before they can ever truly experience holding them is a great tragedy that I would not even wish on the people I hate most. You deserve far better and I know you will be able to push past all this. You are a strong and beautiful mind. I hope you and your partner see better and brighter days. ))

    I think you need to slow down and deal with what’s going on in your life before dedicating yourself to another team. LotC is a very draining environment for folks who don’t take on the relatively thankless staff work. Couple an already poor atmosphere with unpaid labor and you’ll find yourself sinking more and more time into something that doesn’t matter at all in comparison to the OOC ailments and troubles you already deal with on a daily basis. Focus on one team, if you are going to focus on any, and just relax with minimal labor. It might help keep your mind off troubles while you work towards a solution to them.

    [Shelved][✓] The Ascended - The Tears of Aeriel [Rewrite]

    Your argument is invalid if you can replace the subject of your argument with pretty much anything else. Purpose. How much magic has purpose that is better than ours? And how is it better? What purpose do you suppose this serves? The ascended are a community. Not a plot device that gets used up and yeeted away when it has "served it's time".

     

    No argument is “invalid” because you declare it as such. The Ascended being a plot device would be fun and interesting, if it ever occurred in a way that brought benefit to the majority of the server. Rather, a large number of the server find this group and magic intolerable due to the former leader of it. Hell, I was slashed out of interaction with it due to his and another’s falling out. Does that make me unhappy? Most definitely.

     

    I personally believe this rewrite is far more interesting than Ascended magic once was, but I also think the Ascended are indeed a group that have ran their course and that’s enough. With as long a history the group has had on this server, with as little impact as it’s actually had to any long term story telling, it’s time to put it down and do something else. Keep in mind, this is my opinion on the vast majority of magics this server offers in general. Aside from like, the void, which I consider the basic and boring magic of any fantasy setting. Special and fun stuff that offer an additional layer of RP, deity/dark/whatever should be doing more than impacting an individual character.

     

    I also stand by the opinion that less is more. Having to rewrite Fitermon’s initial 9,000,000,000 pages for Shade magic when I had it was stupid and frustrating. If I had to sit down and bang this out just to learn the magic, because my teacher was being lazy on an OOC level like most teachers are, you know I’d be EXTRA heated. I think with the full amount of stuff here, most new folks to the magic (if there are any, I’m entirely unsure since I don’t follow MAs and such) would be doomed to fail when those with TAs inevitably fall into stagnation and do nothing.

    Monthly Update Log – November 2018

    Introduction

     

    Hey all, how is everyone doing? Much like last month I hope that y’all had a great month and going forward continue to do so. November was a slow going month for the Application Team, with a few folks leaving unfortunately. We’ve got a fair bit being prepared for the launch of 7.0 concerning new players and old players alike. If you’re interested in joining the Application Team, we are still recruiting! If you find it fun to help new players find their way on the server, don’t be afraid to stop by! We’re looking for anyone who has the patience and drive to help out, while also keeping a clean slate with both the team and the server as a whole. Lets go ahead and get rolling with the rest of the updates!

    New Player Data

     

    This month, as per usual, Humans are the most applied to race at 56.9%! In second we have the Elves at 28.7%. Following that, we have the Dwarves 7.7%, Halflings at 3.3%, and the Orcs/Other at 1.7%.

    Our application rate has dropped a bit more unfortunately, but much like last month that can and should be expected. With finals for various schools continuing it only makes sense the rate has dropped a bit more. With the new year coming up, we are expecting to see the application rate rise once more. Our acceptance rate remains close to last months, only falling to 77.2% from 79.6%. Our denial rate sits at 22.8%, remaining low for the most part. The most accepted timezone sits with Americas at 71.6%, second would be Europe at 21.9%, and Oceania in last at 6.6%.

    Member Alterations

     

    This month we’ve only lost a few folks, thankfully. We’re still looking to add more, don’t be afraid to apply!

    Team Data

     

    We’ve seen many of our new team members pick up and kick butt this month while handling applications, which is obviously fantastic! We’re hoping to see the same effort and hard work put in by veteran and new members alike this month. Either way, let’s take a moment to appreciate and celebrate the hard work put in by this month’s application queen!

    Going into December, we’re going to continue to work on the projects we’ve gotten going. Our hope is to implement these and future projects with 7.0, that way new players introduced to the new map will have an easy enough time getting used to the resources and the world we’ve designed for them. These projects include the large scale New Player Guide, the Tailor’s Guild, and a revamp of the Pots and Pandits. As per last month, other ideas are being considered and we’re looking to begin work on a few other ideas. Many of these will also be released with 7.0 if we wind up beginning work on them as well. 

     

    A Personal Thank You

     

    During the month of November, my father unfortunately passed away and it’s been difficult dealing with that since. However, @Fireheartstepped up and helped out while I’ve been dealing with this issue. Much like last month, he’s really been handling his work and making his presence known. I really appreciate you bud and I’m very thankful you’ve been here when I’ve needed it.

    Boruto's Lore Moderator Application

    While I’d like to support this application, you explicitly stated “I've been trying to find some free-time lately to make a full return to lotc but I just can't seem to do it. My schedule's very tight and I feel too pressured...” before asking to have your AT position removed. And this was within the last week.

     

    Unless your schedule has seen a drastic turn, this team might not be the best option for you.

    I’m frequently disappointed in the player retention smaller races like halflings have when it comes to new players. For next map it would be grand to have a collaboration between halfling leadership, event actors, and the AT so as to make sure that new halfling players don’t just enter the village, look around for a few moments, and then leave assuming nobody plays the race/the server.

     

    Edit: Do you think a sort of “Collector’s Guild” could work well in Dunshire? The idea would be that it would encourage new players and other halflings to go out and do things outside of the village when nobody else is online instead of just logging off

     

    Throw me a message on Discord, I have something in mind similar to that but not exactly the same. Might be able to blend the ideas.
