Sir Ruben, Your letter has found its way to me, and I must admit, it reeks of desperation rather than valor. To dredge up the ancient history of our forefathers and clothe it in the garb of "honor" does little to impress or intimidate. You accuse me of abandonment, yet it is you who seems eager to forgo reason and ration for the reckless pursuit of conflict. Although, if it is satisfaction through bloodshed you seek, I shall not deny you the opportunity to attempt, albeit vainly, to reclaim the vestige of honor your family has miserably lost. Let us meet in Portoregne. Lorenz Gavaudin

-1 no more realms please

Very good post, hope admin team can take a look at it.

no idea, didnt really bother to ask My decision usually boiled down to the severity of the action of the player, and how much time has passed. There are some bans I turned away because I didn't think that they should've been unbanned due to their heinous actions. The trol ban was the toughest ban we've ever handled. This was because of the culture shift in the server, which we never really acknowledged. Something that was said in the admin meeting was: "well, this was the culture of the server 6 years ago. would we permaban him for what he said today? probably. but would we have permabanned him 6 years ago? probably not." Cancel culture is insane on LotC, especially when you see these players who have said similar things themselves. Most everyone on LotC has done regrettable shit. Self-reflect before you start pitch-forking on the forums. Though, if the person is continuing their behavior - it's free game. yea lol im proud of my accomplishments He is really loyal to the server. No funny business with him. We voted to undo one because it was a self-report that upon review, wasn't anywhere close to violating the safety policy. I believe it was a ban that was done in haste and without review because of a 13th forum uprising One of our best policies was ensuring that Tythus had to sign off on unbanning permanently banned players (PCV and TOS). All Tythus cares about is keeping shitty people off the server. So I trust his judgement in the case that we've got a bad one. I've never voted no on a TOS ban. I voted no on a PCV ban once (along with fellow administrators) because of lack of evidence. I have voted no on CGV bans more than once, albeit rarely. It's difficult to get all admins on board with my agenda, but that's not a bad thing. I do not see donation money, although I know we're in a good position. I believe the server turns a profit, but we just use those funds to upgrade our hardware.

??? penguin It's a stupid color and asserts authority that it doesn't have on a minecraft server. I like red on cars tho

694-30-6021 The ban I regret the most is probably Rylothh or maybe even M1919. The one I think was most deserved was [insert TOS banned player here].

It’s 11/1.. And my last post as admin. AMA. My accepted approvals over the past two years (excluding bans and failed approvals): Statistics: Proposed approvals: 128 CGV Bans: 13 PCV Bans: 15 TOS Bans: 32 (this does not mean those are all the bans we did in the past two years, just the ones I typed up) FAQ: Where are you going now? I'll be a mod for at least a month before dipping out, pending the conversation I have with 60th on when he wants me to go. After that, I'll be focusing on IRL! Are you going to miss the moderation team? Yes.. it is my baby.. I will miss all of you. Good luck. You guys are doing great and 60th is a fantastic successor :) Are you going to miss the administration team? Absolutely. I don't think I could've asked for a better team to work with. There were many times where meetings turned into a heated mess, but as soon as the meeting ended we left our disagreements there. I wish them nothing but the best. If you have any questions about specific approvals or even regrets I had as admin, feel free to ask. No secrets!!

Hid all the stupid replies You guys all suck equally and I know that because I watched all of you get into pissing contests for the past two years Stop being so negative and go enjoy the server for once

shoutout maltamoss Hi everyone, This time I'm actually leaving. Throughout the past two months, my schedule has been getting busier and busier, and I no longer have time for LotC anymore. Truthfully, work has completely swamped me and I want to focus more on my IRL relationships & future grad school. I'm really grateful for the opportunity that @Telanir@ScreamingDingo@Llir and @Heero gave me in the first place, and I'm even more grateful to have worked alongside them as well as@HogoBojo and @squakhawk @The60th is now the Moderation Admin. I have my full faith in him to do better than I did in every categorical aspect of administrating. I will be sticking around as admin until November 1 to help him transition into the role. After that, I'll be a moderator for a month and then fully make my departure from staff. --- Thank you for this opportunity to serve you, and I wish you all nothing but the best. itdontmatta

please update!

Hi, I’m sorry but we haven’t had ample time to prepare. We’ll need to delay it until next week. I really apologize but hopefully this will give you guys some more time to build and prepare. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We should be ready for next weekend.

Hi guys. We'll need to change the warclaim to Sunday, 10/8 @ 3 PM EST. I apologize for this inconvenience, but it is imperative that we make sure the siege plugin is ready for usage. I will share some rough stats regarding the siege weaponry: TREBS: Arc-type shot 25 blocks to break (you use an axe to break a block, you must break 25 blocks. as you break the block, it'll be instantly replaced but it will damage the siege weapon's healthbar) Longest reload time 2 hits by siege equipment 4-5 blocks damage in a 2-3 block radius Low player damage High bloom / spread CANNONS: Straight shot 10 blocks to break Medium reload time 2 hits by siege equipment 4-5 blocks damage in a 2-3 block radius High player damage High bloom / spread BALLISTAS: Straight shot 5 blocks to break Quick reload time 1 hit by siege equipment No block damage Medium player damage Low bloom / spread The SIEGE WEAPON AMMO will be added in game tomorrow. The crafting recipe will be 8 netherite per ammo, applicable to any type of equipment. You may bring ladders to the war server. Please have your war camps ready on Saturday. Send them to me and the60th. If you choose not to make a war camp, we will not place siege equipment for you. Haelunor may build their siege camp within the blue square, as we're going with the premise that Nevaehlen has fallen back to their city to defend it. Nevaehlen may make the following modifications to their build: - Tear down houses - Make platforms for siege equipment - Moderately improve their walls (no button spam, no monumental walls) Please do not do this on main, just do it on a build server and send us a schematic. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Just a quick clarification to Spoopy's post - Iron Horde & Norland are already at the location of interest in RP. For the sake of tile movement, the Iron Horde & Norland only need to pay 5 minas per person. (5 minas * 1 tile traveled to get to the new battlefield * X amount of players brought)

Of course. It's quite difficult given that a couple of us have been unavailable on the weekends. Wish I could give a more universal time, but Tuesday @ 7:30 PM EST was really the only time that matched all of our schedules. I hope to make this recurring, so hopefully in the near future we can have another meeting at a more reasonable hour for everyone.

Hi all, This Tuesday, October 3, at 7:30 PM EST, we're hosting a community meeting/Q&A session in the LotC public discord. Feel free to ask any questions here, and we'll do our best to address them. Additionally, we invite individuals or groups to engage in discussions on how we can make the server a more enjoyable experience for everyone. All members of the administration team plan on attending the meeting, as its crucial that we hear your feedback firsthand. I'm eager to delve into several important topics, including activity, the role of war and its place in our community, CRP rules, lore, insights on realms in general, and strategies to foster a healthy server story. I hope that upon the conclusion of the meeting, the administration & staff team will have a clear direction that we can communicate and measure. Hope to see you all there!

Thank you for making this post Gaius. Appreciate all you do on the team 😁
