    Paste were a goal for most nations, to keep grinding out their Taxes and have a reason for people to donate mina to the nation so that they too would guarantee those donators a piece of land or a build in which they can use said mina to paste into live server.

     

    someday, someone from LoTC will start a very successful multi-level marketing scheme

    >explain to him that i have no ill intentions

    >i know little girls like her can be alienated and lonely having no one to talk to

    >guard coaxes me out into the woods, am forced to roll around in leaves and mud 

    >caged, displayed at court as the "whitespire ape" 

    >when the guards aren't looking, try to explain to visitors that i am a sentient dwarven merchant and not an ape

    >no one can understand my accent

     

    is it over?

  3. i don't really have my ear to the ground but from the latest wave of ban appeals and other complaints i read it seems like u guys completely loosened up standards from the charlemagne ban. unbanned all of his friends even. interesting to see a sort of federal reserve dynamic where the server gets inactive so the racism interest rates are increased

     

  4. Incantation or saying spell words/mantras could be a mental exercise for the mage to help them maintain communion with and direct the source of their power, just like how some of you might talk to yourself to stay focused. It would depend on a character's personality whether it would help them at all or not. In combat with a mage who is using these sorts of incantations, you could drown out their voice or speak/play something discordant and distracting, just like you could disconnect a very inwardly focused mage by throwing a rock at them.

  5. my problem with religion points is that they don't actually represent anything in the fictive world, i.e. you can't "talk about them" in character like you could with minas in a bank account. they are just an abstraction, and one that's particularly immersion ruining for someone who wants to play politics or religion without 1,000,000 ooc rules and mechanics encroaching on your roleplay.

     

    the church of the canon already does a good job generating causes for conflict on its own. it is the #1 powerbroker in the human world order right now. does it need an abstract currency to represent it? 

     

    please get rid of "casus belli" from the war rules and just let people declare wars freely

    No of course it does not. However this map has been paid for, money has changed hands in order to use it. 


    yeah that's cool and I hadn't read that, I just wanted to respond specifically to the post Zolla_ made because someone could get in trouble for following it

    when you publish something you created in minecraft you agree and accept what is written in the EULA

      Hide contents

    "If you make any content available on or through our Game, you agree to give us permission to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display that content. This permission is irrevocable, and you also agree to let us permit other people to use, copy, modify, adapt, distribute, and publicly display your content."

     


    This is legal boilerplate for web services. Fall Guys uses the same verbiage. It is meant to keep the host/service provider out of trouble for distributing copyrightable stuff that users create and post to their service; you can't upload a custom Fall Guys map to Fall Guys Store then issue Epic Games a DMCA takedown notice if you want people to stop downloading it.

     

    What this language doesn't do is give any random third party (i.e. lord of the craft) permission to use that stuff, unless Mojang gives them permission (i.e. by making it available to download off their website, or use via realms, mojang texture packs or whatever)

     

    I don't think this issue will come down to the particulars of minecraft copyright law but it may be good for some of you to know that mojang's EULA does not give you the right to use other people's builds, or skins, or whatever, without their permission

  8. i never really understood what the mercators stood for or why they were rebelling against oren, but it sure was a welcome relief to the onslaught of dudes trying to collect clips of me failing at pvp to just have some guys light the tavern on fire

     

    rebelling against a nation requires you to actually recognize and have some stake in the politics of it, which is cool too. would rather have 8 parties rebelling against me in a controlled burn of hostile sentiments than 1 group of people splitting off and joining a coalition against me in the future

  9. if you really wanted a staff intervention to "make it easier to move from point A to point B" that wasn't onerous on people, you could have staff members (or whoever) build desire paths around obstructions, enriching the map and creating opportunities for enviro storytelling & random encounters along a shady shortcut

    it would realistically only have to be some path blocks made with a shovel going around a town and looping back onto the road. but it would be something constructive instead of yet another layer of red tape and policing
