Emp

yes those were some cool comedic stories

Sorry to drop out. Thanks to those who posted for me in my absence.

THE COMMONWEALTH OF AFRIKA Returning from his tour in South Africa in poorer health than he had returned, the Ukuwu apologised to the collection of dignitaries who received him at the royal palace as he retired to his chambers. In what would provoke mourning across the Commonwealth, this night would be his last. The Ukuwu passed away, not in the chaos of war ravaging his own lands, but tired and frail in his own bed. He was wise enough in those last days of his life to know his own mortality, and such had formed his agenda in touring South Africa. In hand with mourning came good news - the last wishes of the Ukuwu, and passed by the government in the best interests of the African peoples. South Africa would lead the Commonwealth.

Heyhey I ran that along with Overland98. Funtimes. Unfortunately I don't really have time to RP anymore. Out of curiosity, did you RP with us or just see it on the forums?

THE COMMONWEALTH OF AFRIKA COMPRISED OF THE FOLLOWING UNIONISED STATES: NIGERIA NIGER CHAD CAMEROON CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC D.R. CONGO CONGO GABON BENIN TOGO GHANA IVORY COAST Ukuwu T'challa wheezed as he hobbled down the hall of his palace, not exactly the picture of strength and ambition that had enabled his miraculous unification of central Africa. This aforementioned strength had seemingly been the cost of his triumph over the cancer that had stolen his glory days from him. Though kept secret for the duration of his treatment, the Ukuwu's story would soon emerge onto the screens of Nollywood, still the world's second-largest producer of feature films. ECONOMY Though the Ukuwu prepared to retake the global stage, his government had not been inactive these past years. With the severing of foreign interactions, all attention had been focused on nurturing the nation, which rested comfortably not only upon the industry of its oilfields, but now, also, its agricultural sectors. Self-sufficiency, as always, was essential. As barriers with the international community were slowly relaxed, the Commonwealth saw continued urbanisation amongst its largest centres of commerce. Dramatic changes in economic policies saw investors flock to cities. DIPLOMACY The Ukuwu anticipates responses to the following corresponences: MEMBERS OF TRAC - Maintenance of trade relations. - The Commonwealth offers land along the coasts of the Ivory Coast and Ghana for the establishment of a network of military bases. Troops from each of the nations will cooperate in training exercises. - The Commonwealth offers scientific cooperation. SOUTH AFRICA - The Commonwealth warmly offers trade relations - Along with sending a copy of his upcoming biopic, the Ukuwu's office inquires as to the possibility of a diplomatic visit by the Ukuwu himself to his prosperous southern neighbours. ISLAMIC CALIPHATE - The Ukuwu congratulates the Caliph upon his appearance of good health, and offers a few dietary tips he has picked up along the road to victory over cancer. - Ultimately, the Ukuwu praises God's power to heal, and thusly inquires as to the possibility of a pilgrimage to the Christian holy sites of the City of God. THE GOVERNMENTS OF BURKINA FASO AND LIBERIA [MOD, please] are approached with offers of incorporation into the Commonwealth as it enters into a second age of prosperity. SCIENCE & CULTURE In the wake of much focus on the Ukuwu's health, the government pours funding into cancer research. Several upcoming Nollywood directors are contacted by the regime and approached with opportunities in the production of state-sponsored material. The Ukuwu takes a personal filmmaker into his entourage to chronicle his reign. DEFENCE As well as in proposed military bases along the western coast, soldiers prepare for training exercises in the rugged, arid terrain of Niger's west, along the Niger River. --- Thunderous applause sparked as the doors of his balcony swung open. Now, for the first time in years, the Ukuwu emerged to uplift his people.

next up: rp default!

Nicely-written history and compelling culture. Good characterisation of a 'Scylfing' without imposing unrealistic RP. Only suggestion is to describe some of their shortcomings. Good job.

Really good, informative stuff! I would suggest having more fun with the voice-over - Perhaps IC voice-acting appropriate to each race - Only if your voice-actors are confident enough..)

On one hand, I understand the OP, and similarly prefer 'western', medieval fantasy RP. On the other hand, I can appreciate deviation from perceived 'confines' in the pursuit of a colourful world. But on the other, other hand, I wonder what the effect of making borderline allowances is. It seems to me that, though this is a medieval fantasy RP server "based on LotR", there are different groups coming to it for different things. On one half, 'Western' RPers come for medieval kingdoms, guilds, political power-plays, and glorious battles. Thing is, they seem to rarely interact with the other half of the server that seems to take inspiration from anime, steampunk, and/or young adult fiction for all I can tell. I get the feeling that neither will interact with the other for their disdain of what is unrealistic, and/or 'special snowflake' RP - or, conversely, what is seen as oppressively gritty and hostile, and/or pedantically held to a standard of realism. Sadly, as long as there's no definitive standard, these groups will continue to roleplay bereft of the other. Perhaps it doesn't matter as long as they're on the server, but I believe it's close-minded cliques, not ghost towns, that lead to diffused RP and lower player-retention rates. If groups are looking for more roleplay, numbers, quality, and ultimately, fun, they should be thinking about how they can cater to, and unify, different server demographics.

Good stuff, man! It's really nice to appreciate the different stories and perspectives that are shared through videos like this. I'd watch more. :)

Allaedo would offer the Stafyr man his sympathies, figuring that his favour-pandering liege must be rather unskilled in playing the great 'Game of Houses'...

Allaedo sheds a peasant tear in memory of his old, benevolent Carrion overlords. "Why such hatred? Am remembering only care and provision from lords Carrion. From those filling the void, am seeing only desperate politicking, and passing of blame about like hot potato.." He shrugs. "Hm. If Carrion is buried, who will they throw their potatoes at?" Sighing, he turns to carrion with his work. #notyourshield #swag

OOC: Where can I find information about the saints of the church? Otherwise, could some be listed, as well as the virtues they embody?

Good intentions; poor execution. Try some consultation next time you overhaul unnecessarily upon a whim. Or common sense, idk.
