close tie between @Cracker and @Milenkhov tbh

Seated on a patch of grass strumming away at his tamburica, Franjo Pavle Samardzic feels a great disturbance. As though a giant with gargantuan fists had just been felled, a giant whomst one day could have become his greatest rival. Shrugging his shoulders, he turns back to his instrument. Playing with a great fervor.

not for u xoxo why are you a brummie?? Because I'm an unoriginal hack. A lot lot better. Still very up and down but that's more to do with stuff in my personal life that needs rectifying than LoTC related things. Yes, it is indeed pronounced 'chewsday'. We created your language so this is undisputed fact. Whenever you want because I enjoy your roleplay. To be honest with you I don't read a lot of books. Last book series I read and thoroughly enjoyed were the A Song of Ice and Fire books. I loved them because there were so many more interesting characters, plotlines, events etc etc that got cut out of the books. Definitely worth a read if you were disappointed with the shows conclusion. It's definitely you - though I do miss my good Savoyard friend NiceGuyNorman. Hope he's doing well. hi rukio bye rukio Tbh man I don't really have one. I kind of just learned how to roleplay from an amalgamation of people. Some people think my roleplay is really good but I think I'm very rusted compared to years ago idk. I just love storytelling in a diverse, organic, living-breathing world where your consequences matter. Soon... (tm) There is only one king of arms... It's kind of **** ngl, I just get bullied for my accent every time I step into a VC. You'll get no money from me : ) Victoria Sponge Cake is pretty based, I like cheesecake too. I can cook toast and instant ramen. I fear I did not. The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. Theocean may also take on green, red, or other hues as light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water. (from google lal) Honourary girlboss I guess. I weigh 500 pounds IRl and sweat profusely. Yes. Don't be greedy my lad. chillin and killin and infinitely drillin Because you toast them?

If I had to choose - Vailor era Savoy. The Dukes War, the Ashen Dawn, just generally vibing and having fun with my friends in game and on teamspeak despite all the turmoil. It's an experience that I don't think I could ever re-capture. This is a really difficult tie between Peter Amadeus de Sarkozy and Robert Foltest Helvets. Peter had a fantastic arc whilst he was alive and I roleplayed with some really sublime roleplayers and defo has some unforgettable experiences even though his arc got cut short. Robert was definitely my most complex character in my mind who also had some fantastic interactions. Even though his arc went in a totally different direction than planned I wasn't displeased with a thing really. Summer. Booze and the sun, what else can I say? For we are damned for eternity.

totally not making this because of @ShannonLeighor anything i'm bored af idk ask me ****

What's kept you on this server for 6 years, and do you still have faith that it is the premium minecraft roleplaying experience? What times on the server have made you the most nostalgic and would you ever return to them if given the chance? What do you look forward to the most in the future?

A long dead Robert de Bar, Duke of Drusco and Count of Cleves piles chicken tenders into his mouth as he watches from the heavens. He smiles the Suns Smile. “Very good.” He says about his son, as grease rolls from his chin onto his beard.

For these past few days I've had this overwhelming heaviness hanging over my heart. I haven't really been able to sum it all up properly into words or give any real concise explanation for why I feel so awful. It's not even something I really enjoy doing publicly but I've kind of been compelled because of recent events to do so. It's 3:30am right now and I can't sleep at all. My minds just clouded by this awful fog and if venting may help with it all then so be it, it's worth a try I guess. So for those who don't know I've been caught up in an IC situation which has quickly turned into an OOC firestorm. I'm not mad about anything that's happened RPly - this is a game after all and I think taking it too harshly is futile. But the OOC of it all has been soul-crushing. I've lost friends - people who I'd VC and chat with all the time on a regular basis as well as effectively been blacklisted OOCly from a community I've been apart of for years. Now, I've played LoTC on and off for quite a long time - since 2013. And the community has changed rapidly throughout all those years. In some aspects for the better and some quite the contrary. I've seen this sort of thing happen to countless people but I never really thought it could happen to me. And now that it has it's left me massively tired and weary with everything. It's just been an experience that's tore me down a lot mentally. I used to justify this sort of thing happening to people but now the shoe is on the other foot, I can relate with the people who share a similar story to me more than ever. It isn't a nice or healthy feeling at all and it's left me in such a precarious and melancholy state. LoTC always has been for me a form of escapism - whenever I was bummed out by something in my personal life I could jump on the server and RP or go onto discord and talk with friends and feel a lot better than I did before. But right now whenever I even fire up discord I get this feeling of dread. And I don't think it's just because of stuff that's happened on here these past few weeks either - as much as that was the last straw, I think everything's been brewing for a little while. I've been sleeping at stupid hours - I'm constantly tired and lethargic. I've been neglecting my friends IRL to the point where I only have a few left. I feel distant from my own family who I live with. I've been neglecting my health both mentally and physically and I'm just tired. There's so much bad going on in the world and it's hard to find the strength to go on and find contentment most days rn. I've kind of caught myself up in a vicious cycle with everything and I've never really felt more lonely in my life than I do at the moment. This all may seem really scatterbrained and not so cohesive but I think what I'm trying to say is I need a break. For myself and my own state of mind. It won't be indefinite... probably a few days or a few weeks I really don't know right now. I just know the old saying "if it isn't fun why do it?" and at this moment in time I'm not having fun or feel very welcome here at all. I want to say thank you in particular to @Tiresiamand @Caranthir_for keeping my head above water with everything OOCly. Thank you to @Lionbiletifor being a homie as always and cheering me up in VC. And everyone else that's stuck by me OOC through everything and not turned to perceiving me as monstrous over IC actions. You all know who you are and I appreciate every single one you guys. I think if I could say or give advice on one thing; don't resort to OOCly blacklisting from communities, don't follow mob mentalities and cliques when trying to decide your opinion on someone. Use your own perception and judgement, have conversations, don't be toxic. Remember that the person you're interacting with is a human with actual feelings and emotions. Leaving people feeling isolated and alienated on an OOC level in a community they come to to escape their brutal realities is such a harrowing thing. I think my take-away from everything that's happened is to just be better and more understanding with people. And to everyone I let down or dissapointed with everything that's happened - I am sorry. I'm a failure and I readily accept it at this point.

Green Gent - 100

Enjoy the break dude - clear your head and come back with a fresh perspective if you feel like it. We all need time off every now and again. I enjoy your RP a lot and I as well as many others can completely understand how this situation can be stressful OOC. Just know that you always have friends in this community no matter what (myself included)

Somewhere within the Palace Augustine, Robert Foltest Helvets is delivered tidings of the High Pontiffs demise. Immediately he rushes to his chambers, taking a hold of a small disc and placing it carefully into a vinyl player. As the crescendo of music begins to play, Roberts mind is taken aback - that cursed day they had buried his grandfather where his Holiness had stood witness, and the tavern they had visited after as they had shared in their grief over copious amounts of gin and tonic. Waltzing about his room on his lonesome, he begins to quietly sing a small song in commemoration of Owyn III. "It's nine o'clock on the 15th of the First Seed, Regular crowd shuffles in.. There's a young boy sitting next to me Makin' love to his first ever tonic and gin. I ask him: son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes anymore. But it's sad and it's sweet, and I once knew it complete When I wore my premier's clothes.. La-la-la de-de da La-la de-de da da-da Sing us a song, you're now the Kaedreni man Sing us a song, tonight. Well we're all in the mood, for melancholy And you've got us feeling alright.."

I honestly think the biggest problem with the range and variety of RP on this server right now and why I imagine a lot of newer players are becoming disinterested fast is the actual state of how the server runs. Whenever LoTC caps 200+ (and many times not even that) it's impossible to even walk 2 minutes away from a major settlement or city without encountering chunks issues and falling into the mineman void. PVP with more than two people always ends up lagging more than a World War 2 documentary. The server is nigh unplayable outside of the boundaries of cities and towns which has made the status quo of LoTC RP literal slice of life LARP for a very long time. And whilst there's nothing wrong or abhorrent with that at face value, lots of newer players (and even old) don't play this server to do literal Sims RP of going to your mineman job and tending to your mineman family. Lots want to play for the adventure, the exciting battles and the sheer escapism of writing and putting yourself into the shoes of a character or person that isn't yourself, in a rich and well-imagined world where the lore has been building for nearly 10 years at this point. I still remember the thrill of being a new player in 2013: the dissolution of the Holy Orenian Empire into the Three Kingdoms, King Silus Horen of Renatus getting couped by Siegmund Carrion, the Second Orenian Empire beneath the Carrion Vochna, the looming threat of Setherian and the Fall of Castle Black to his undead. Even as far along in 2015 there was still so many interesting and captivating things going on all at once; the Reformed Kingdom of Oren and the rise of the Savoyard Kings, the Horen Restoration as the Johannian Empire where we were at war or in some political turmoil every other week. And that actually brings me nicely onto my second point: the lack of any conflict on this server has really put it into a strange and very unenjoyable state at times. Admins seem to have some weird notion that 'conflict bad perpetual pacifism good' and have put these weird gridlocks on conflict rules: raid rules suck ass and kill any sort of dynamic and sudden conflict in roleplay as well as consequences for important characters and figures ******* up. The war rules, though an improvement on the last ones are still half-assed and do nothing to mediate fairly to both sides, the attackers and the defenders. Think on some of the most narratively important wars on this server that have really shaped the landscape and legend of LoTC history: the Dukes War and even the War of the Two Emperors at its peak. These were both reasonably executed wars with a solid RP buildup that came of actual RP consequences and drove forth a narrative and a resolution at the end. They were both, in my mind, perfect wars. They weren't born of petty OOC grudges or beefs left unsettled but rather as responses to actual RP mistakes and atrocities. I really don't believe we could ever have wars like that again on this server with the current state of the war and raid rules, and honestly even though I'm not the biggest fan of PvP and warclaims it makes me really sad that the soldiers of most nations are essentially redundant and confined to just doing gate duty RP all day long. Also to comment briefly on Vortex - just get rid of it man. LoTC is not and never has been an MMO - if I wanted to spend 50 hours grinding for some shiny sword I'd go play World of Warcraft or something. LoTC is a player-driven narrative roleplay server that utilises creative writing and world building to drive forth its story. LoTC doesn't need some micromanaged economy to survive - literally just bring back LC lmfao, it was the best system for building and resources this server had in a long time. In short, just listen to your playerbase a bit more. You can spout to me this age old quote that "LoTC isn't a democracy" all you want, but chances are if 90% of your playerbase don't agree with what the Admin team (who the majority of only play like once a month) are dictating then chances are you're probably wrong on a lot of it.
