It's like breaking and entering another man's house to provoke him to attack you and when he does you call the police

Am I dramatic or does literally all national roleplay feel completely fake?

At the end of the day this is a game where people are playing primarily with their friends. If you can not befriend people, that says something both about them and about you. I personally do not know who you are and am not trying to insult you. I wish that you could rise without ever talking in discord, but that is not really how most places work on this server.

Another thing that is used to justify retconning RP. Not everyone who uses lore agrees with rewrite.

Remove magic and non-human races. PVP only conflict. Unlimited raids. Remove non-military RP.

@MedvekomaThe real issue isn't the abstract lore, its arbitrary nature stems from the rp itself being free-form. This is why tabletop rpgs like Dungeons and Dragons will always be better, you have mechanics that factually say someone is stronger and the fight itself is dictated by concise numbers. Player intellect translated to character intellect through RP still exists, just with streamlined rules. It's one of the biggest reasons I quit lotc, and is a reason I won't be returning. There are even dumb downed tabletops with simple number sets using 6 sided dice if you find playing the norm (DnD) boring. Some even more complicated such as GURPS. Free-form RP just isn't for me, after 6 years I realized that. Dunno why it took so long considering the massive amount of LARPs and tabletops I already attend. This is ignoring the removal of lore (which I disagree with) that exists which is an inherent problem in a fantasy world or any narrative really. Lore is treated as game mechanics rather than actual story progression by the server, which removes the point of the writing itself. No lore should ever be removed, just changed or caused to disappear with viable RP.

Point of the argument is with mechanics you wouldn't need pvp. The lore that offers no narrative is relative and arguable depending on the piece. You don't remove lore for becoming irrelevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_hole

Reminder that communists necessarily believe in genocide.

Whenever your political ideology has resulted in genocide every single time it's been implemented in any capacity, yeah, I'm going to say you believe in genocide if you continue to be a communist.
Whenever your political ideology has resulted in genocide every single time it's been implemented in any capacity, yeah, I'm going to say you believe in genocide if you continue to be a communist. Like in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ethiopia.

"every single time," I think you're forgetting about vietnam and cuba, laos and to some lesser extent venezuela. your definition of "communism" is so vague that it could mean either any left-leaning state on earth or just the two or three you think are bad
the french revolution resulted in >40,000 deaths. there were 16,594 official executions during the reign of terror. does this mean that everyone who subscribes to enlightenment ideas believes in genocide? there's a compelling case to be made that they do, given the millions of deaths and counting from the war on terror. the problem is that just like how marx never wrote anything about starving ukrainians to death, john locke never wrote anything about cutting off people's heads. there are countries and people who subscribe to both of those ideas who have never committed a genocide. you have nothing to back up the ridiculous argument. nice try ben shapiro

Oh, I did forget Cuba who's late great leader is listed as guilty for genocide with 35,000 to 141,000 over about twenty years murdered. or the millions of Vietnamese killed in politically motivated murders.
Yeah, the french murders were completely wrong. Everyone knows it's wrong. (Not to mention completely against liberal ideas) Though extremely tame and mild to the terror of communists. The war on terror is an entirely unrelated disaster on it's own. It isn't a revolution it's an invasion. And, yeah, Marx was totally down with violence. By his own words "There is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is a revolutionary terror." He knew that his ideas necessarily will be violent and the best way to deal with this violence is to organize and commit it consciously so those that must be dealt with will be dealt with faster. He wanted to eliminate property owners. Not eliminate property ownership, but eliminating property owners. Any communists who follow Marx's teachings in some capacity supports an economic theory that supports and even requires genocide to implement. There is no way around this. At all.

Sauropods holding their necks out would be half a million foot-pounds of torque. They literally couldn't have existed today. So wtf

I have no comment about any BR up right now but I still don't get why the accuser has the power to decide who can give witness. Both sides should be able to add people to say their piece freely ya know?

See, that’s where you’re wrong @LoTC's Next Top Model. In real life, it is the person with the most expensive lawyer who has the most rights. Just look up any McDonald’s lawsuit. Ever.

So do orcs still sell snaga?

I think the LOTC time should be 1:1

The in game poll will not provide an accurate result. It should be made to allow people to select multiple options and be phrased "Which of these raiding policies would you be okay with?"

Wonders if freebuild places can warclaim.
