[✗] [AMENDMENT] worldchanging inferi buff
BonesOfTheEarth replied to spaazmatism's topic in Denied Lore
Tbf, voidweak as a general rule does make sense. Youre tiny. But I do think their weakness should be phrased differently. Currently its worded in a way that means I cant slap armor on an imp... Let me slap armor on an imp. Even if they are physically weaker on account for their smaller statures, so too would armor weigh a bunch less because ur fuckin tiny. Imp armor would realistically weigh like 7-10 pounds lmao Edit: On the note to "halfling" change I believe(I may be wrong) that halflings are just as strong as a human. Just cuz. Edit 2: Ive been asked why i think it would be a good idea to slap armor on an imp, and Im here to set the record straight: It would be funny. -

To The Oppressed [!] A parchment makes its way around to those in lands beneath the empire, carried by starved slaves all with different bird names carved into their flesh. They communicate only by squawking. On its front page, red ink marks a sigil as seen above. On its back lay writing [!] Diabolic Invocation World Lore To the weary souls caught within mortal war, bound by chains of tyrants, heed my call. You struggle and fight to survive, waging a war merely to exist beneath the weight of oppression. Yet you need not face your torment alone. I offer a hand to those displaced by conflict, the weak and shattered seeking new life. My offer is one of power made yours, to reclaim what has been taken from you. I seek students, and I seek warriors. Draw the sigil you see above in the blood of yourself, three meters wide, and tell me which you seek to become. I will help break the chains upon the mind, or the body. OOC: DM BonesOfTheEarth in-game to interact.

I love how the forum roleplay section has pinned posts marking how its explicitly NOT for our lotc-roleplay posts and we all collectively ignore it

INFERI GOLEMANCERS AMENDMENT??
BonesOfTheEarth replied to tantuni445's topic in Recently Outdated Lore
Tbf thats entirely an ooc mechanical restriction for balancing purposes(That dont really make sense to begin with) with a hamfisted and forced rp reasoning that comes secondary to that. In any actual universe, I'd see them be able to do alchemy as well. -
INFERI GOLEMANCERS AMENDMENT??
BonesOfTheEarth replied to tantuni445's topic in Recently Outdated Lore
Inferi have all necessary core energies The golemancy redline was from a long time ago when inferi had lesser souls. Inferi have greater souls, anima, and mana -
The amount of people who don't read the rules to know that guards do not always get combat crp/pvp default without meeting other criteria as well is astounding.

You're referencing this. What I'm referencing is the rule this is attached to plus the a. bit, which defines what defenders actually get. Most people see "Guards are defenders when in their own land" and seem to forget that that doesn't mean they always get default.
Guard default requires:
- The conflict to have 8 or more people
- There to have not already been a vote among the defenders to try and swap the conflict to pvp
Most people seem to think that guards just get default, and likely believe we're in the defender default era still. If either of the two above aren't met, guards get nothing. My post is just an observation to how often I see this confusion. Wasn't intended to be a major point of contention, given its a status update, but in hindsight I do type with rbf somehow and that invites challenge, oops
@RezRatKeia I think I laid my points clearly here when prompted for further explanation, but I am curious how this is a vaguepost? That tends to refer to when one makes a post referencing an ooc conflict scenario that occurred without directly addressing it, and yet I was pretty quick to ensure that this was not the case in my post. Can you elaborate so I can grow and avoid vagueposting? Am I just cooked and old now and dont know what vagueposting is?

lore that falls under story approval (screenshotted below, you can find the actual thing on the admin notion publically available) is subject to admin approval. Admin approval is a process which requires all admins not on hiatus (excluding Tythus) to vote on something. Any singular denial is a denial from the entire admin team.
Most often this is any new lore, shelving old lore, or anything vaguely aengudaemon related
Typically after lore voting, manager reviewing, and story admin approval, it goes to admin approval where all admins are required to vote on it and accept it to pass. In the case of shelving, a lore must be made case to shelf by/for management, get unanimous approval, go to the entire ST, get 80+% approval, go back to management, unanimous approval, and then go to admins for unanimous approval
There is a proposal to change this but it is currently not approved/being denied because of the inability of me+st management to compromise on lore being approved/shelved being admin approval because (in my opinion) of how difficult it is already to pass and prior instances of misuse of approval, and as well the extremely rigorous shelving process.

I think this is fine to talk about and that I'm correct in my summary.
Larger lore pieces, like entire new magics / magic systems, CAs, etc., have to be voted on and approved by administration. For these, LT acts as something of a preliminary filter to ensure that nothing that definitely shouldn't pass gets to that point, along with providing changes they feel need to be made in order for a piece to be in an acceptable spot.nevermind squak beat me to it while i was typing and answered better than i could have anyways gg.

lowk bring back magic taking 6 month average instead of 4, and bring back adding all learning times together for people learning more than 1 at a time
Make it take 2.5 irl years to learn 5 void magics again
Nobody will agree with me but Ill die here

[PSA] Server won't load? Click here!
BonesOfTheEarth replied to BonesOfTheEarth's topic in Miscellany
You've missed the point - I am not saying "use a vpn and call it a day!" - I am saying "Use a vpn while tech team does tech things if you cannot play the server at all." And though I'm confident that someone on tech team is already aware of this issue given how wide spread it is(if only a handful here and there, its affecting a lot of different communities), this post also doubles as a ping towards daisy just in case they are somehow not aware, while also having been uploaded alongside an official bug-report! Edit: As of 4 hours ago, looking through the closed tickets, tech team has claimed that this issue is outside of LotC's control and is user-end/networking issue and thus the only thing to do is exactly as my post says. However I do think this is mildly foolish if its affecting a wide amount of people all with specifically LotC. I'm no tech genius, but if everyone affected says something smells like fish, looks like fish, and is a fish... then the fish probably isnt correct if it says "no, you guys are fish" -
I've seen a lot of people asking around in discords, myself and others on the forums recently as well. I figure a quick and easy post to address this is well deserved: If LotC will not load for you, but all other servers work fine and your connection/internet is good, then use a VPN! I do not know why this happens. That's a question for some tech lads and lassies (@Daisysave us), but thus far the only consistent 'fix' I've seen is a VPN. A paid one works great, but if you're poor or saving money then I suggest using the free version of Proton VPN. Just know the issue is not on your end and its becoming an increasingly common thing to see. I've not been able to connect to LotC without a VPN for 3 days now, so sitting and waiting for it probably won't help much. If you haven't noticed anything wrong, this post isn't for you! Get outta here!

Hi @NinjaQueen I don't know if you've been given an answer just yet! But this is a growingly more common issue. Every other server works but lotc, and then that message when you try and come in. The answer I've found commonly among those facing this is to use a VPN, I'm having the same trouble rn. It's been 3 days and I cannot connect to lotc using my main internet, only a vpn. A good option for a free easy one is proton vpn, just make sure you go to the settings and make it so it doesn't auto-start and auto-connect you on computer startup unless you only use your PC for lotc

BonesOfTheEarth replied to MrMojoMordor's topic in The Horde of Many Tribes
Adonael, a Petran citizen, bursts into tears. He rushes to find his wife, extending the public letter. He's holding it upside down and thus it is difficult to read. He tries to speak, but is in hysterics and simply babbles nonsensically over the beauty of the writing. Only one line is clear: "I've clearly judged Mister Bon'Ox too harshly!" @Hodgeling -

[The Infernal Compendium — Addition] Infernal Warlords
BonesOfTheEarth replied to christman's topic in Recently Outdated Lore
THE WEAK ARE MEAT -
Ahem -
Did you know that on average when not in roleplay, and mechanically sprinting, our characters move about 0.233~ Meters/Second - Almost a snail-like pace. I'll explain:
Minecraft running is done at a rate of 5.6 meters/IRL-second. However, this doesn't take into account day-night cycles and how much time passes in game. In game on lotc, a day/night cycle is 1 Hour total. Meaning, if you run for 1 IRL Hour, in a straight line, you'll have run roughly around 20 kilometers. This is no pausing, full sprinting(not jumping), and implies a full 24 Hours in-roleplay are spent running.
So, taking that and splitting it over individual in-roleplay time units:
- In 1 In-Roleplay Day, we can run 20ish Kilometers.
- In 1 In-Roleplay Hour, we can run 0.84 Kilometers(about half a mile per hour)
- In 1 In-Roleplay Minute, we travel exactly 14 Meters.
- In 1 In-Roleplay Second, we travel 0.233(repeating) meters.
In a similar train of thought but a completely different area(I do not have the expertise to combine these two pieces of information, mathematically), an IRL Day consists of 24 hours. A year is 365 days. And a year, is a year.
On LotC however, a day is a day(1 IRL hour), and there are 24 in a month, and there are only 168 days in a given Roleplay Year. This is lunacy! For every 168 days IRP that pass, a human grows at the same maturity as one IRL despite being only HALF the age. There is only one logical conclusion to be made for this:
Days, are longer. We can do some math here. We can assume that LotC in-game years have as many hours in them as an IRL Year, as people mature and age at the same rate. IRL, there are 8760 hours in a year, split over 365 days for 24 hour days. On LotC, there are 8760 hours in a year split over 168 days, for lotc days that are... ahem, let me compile the math.
- 1 In-Game day(IRL HOUR), 52.14 In-Game hours pass. Meaning we experience roughly 26 hours of sunlight and 26 hours of darkness each day.
- In 1 IRL Minute, 52.14 IRP minutes pass.
- In 1 IRL second, 52.14 IRP seconds pass.
So, I know I wrote above I did not have the expertise to combine these two factoids. But I have done so anyways - Taking the previous bit from the START of this status update, I've amended the numbers:
- In 1 In-Roleplay Day, we travel 20160 Meters.
- In 1 In-Roleplay Hour, we travel 386.64 Meters.
- In 1 In-Roleplay Minute, we travel 6.4 Meters.
- In 1 In-Roleplay Second, we travel 0.107 Meters.

Adonael, in the middle of the Petran square, was enjoying his morning cup of coffee. Reading the local newspaper when one special article catches his eyes. He guffaws. He spills his drink all over himself. He stands up and rushes home, finding his wife - To which he extends the paper(notably on the wrong article, one about lye-less soap), and exclaims aloud... "This guy is a LUNATIC! The world is FLAT! On a side note, have you ever noticed how pregnancy is nine months, but a whole year is only seven?" @Hodgeling

[Amendment] no more unwilling enchantments
BonesOfTheEarth replied to xo31's topic in Recently Outdated Lore
Ahem. So after more research and consideration, my thoughts for this are: @xo31@_Leyd The amendment itself does not hurt anything and should pass. A player has abused the lore in bad faith, and as such that should be taken into consideration for the future. While I personally think making the amendment is a non-issue, that does not mean that making it will hurt anything and its benefit does exist, albeit minor. Continuing and branching off from that, the root point of what I was getting at is my distaste for this weird culture of how people approach bad-faith interactions on the server. People look for sweeping changes to try and stop things in the future, and that's alright. But nearly nothing is done about actions that have already occurred. In this instance, a player actively engaged in magic-lore with bad faith intentions, seeking loopholes and rule-lawyering Transfiguration poorly into a trap that already broke basic roleplay principles(Powergaming, forcing an action on a player). While I don't mind seeing an amendment like this passing, it is commonly known that this player actively engages in similar situations often. If this gets patched, this player will actively seek a new way to similarly bend what is possible. And we will continue making amendment, after amendment, after amendment, and letting them get away with it scott free each time. I think that's horse-shit and the player should receive an infraction each time. And players should, hand in hand with an amendment like this, drop a dm towards an ST-Manager. A simple message like "Hello, I would like to report potential lore abuse." Worst case scenario, nothing is lost. Best case scenario, the offender receives punishment. But people don't. And then they make these posts and those players get to continue searching for new ways to break things. Otherwise, +1 to the amendment. I was moreso taking the opportunity this amendment presents to put forward the above argument, as I've unfortunately witnessed magics and CA's be denied outright due to so many patch-fixes without punishing the people causing those patches to need to exist, and seeing it in live action here leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
