As I told Telanir when he introduced this idea when I was a mod manager, you’re making a solution to a problem that simply isn’t there. 90% of appeals are accepted because the person appeals on their date. The only appeals that get denied are the ones where the person puts in 0 effort or passes the blame on. This was change for the sake of change that was shoved down our throats because Telanir had another /great/ idea he felt /had/ to be implemented.

I’m going to ******* steal your kid, Syko.

THE TREATY OF SAN’AZGAK Signed and confirmed 1750 Reminded are we of the days of Imperial aggression during the Bootless War, the calls from the Valah for the blood of Uruk and Mali’ame alike. In the face of overwhelming odds, the peoples of Krugmar and Irrinor stood united in defence of their sovereignty, to refuse to submit. Tragically did the Bootless end for those who rose to stand against the Empire with Uruk and Mali’ame standing side by side in an outnumbered engagement. It, however, did not spell an end to the Uruks who would rise once more. We recall the valour of those men and women of Krugmar and of the Forest Realm of Irrinor and seek to honour their sacrifice by the formation of pacts to ensure the continued peace between these two realms. [ I ] The Forest Realm of Irrinor and the Rexdom of Krugmar upon the signing of this pact commit themselves to a strict pact of non-aggression. Calls to take up arms against either of the two signatories shall be refused by either of the two signatories of this pact. [ II ] The Forest Realm of Irrinor hereby recognizes Rex Skalp’Raguk da Uniter as the rightful ruler of the Rexdom of Krugmar and as the rightful sovereign of the Uruks. [ III ] The Rexdom of Krugmar hereby recognizes High Prince Lyemar Aureon as the rightful ruler of the Forest Realm of Irrinor and as the rightful sovereign of the Mali’ame. [ IV ] The Forest Realm of Irrinor and the Rexdom of Krugmar hereby commit to ensuring the free movement of citizenry and goods through lands controlled by their respective realms. [ V ] This pact shall remain valid for a period of four years, whereas both parties will meet once more to reaffirm it unless it is reaffirmed at an earlier date. Signed, High Prince Lyemar of the Sovereign Seed of Aureon Rex Skalp’Raguk da Uniter

Events aren’t about items. Who gives a **** about some pixels lol

Bold of you to assume this. Most playerbases are often put on the backburner and left to sit there. From my own knowledge and experience, I wasn’t able to attend many of the voidal events because I was still at work when they were scheduled for. However, I had a good many of my guys attend and try to take part in them. As it went on, those who had a leadership position in the eventline had less and less fun. It was getting to the point that I would log on after getting home and pop into the VC to be told that it was **** and a waste of time. That they would rather be doing something else. So that’s what we did. We just dropped out of it all because we weren’t having fun and didn’t feel motivated to take part. I think that eventline saw all elven nations drop out of it. They couldn’t retain any of the human groups even after assaulting one of their kingdoms directly. Dwarves were nonexistent. Orcs were nonexistent. Really from my perspective it was a druid and paladin event. As for the note about getting lots of PMs. When events go on, we usually tell everyone to get into VC and have the vast majority of our guys in there talking with us. If you want effective communication, reach out to me and I can tell my guys to shut up or explain ****. I can also communicate what my guys are saying to you so you only have me DMing you and filtering it.

I agree. It should have never come to us having to release those threads. But the system failed us massively and our hands were forced. However, I don’t believe that a team picked by the chairman who has already proven himself incapable of handling these cases while maintaining a position that has him calling the shots, will solve the glaring issues that led to that system failing. Meaning no offense to you, but you and your team are paraded around as being representative of the community. Yet I was unable to voice my opinion on who represents me. The staff was unable to voice their opinions on who is on the team. I heard your interview list got leaked and there are individuals who have engaged in the behaviour that leads to these bans on that list. Disregarding the petitioning of the community for their opinion will be disastrous. We had no sway in who is on the team. We have no trust in the administration that continues to remain in a position of shot calling. And we have issues with the members of the team put forth. I don’t believe Telanir meant any harm in what he’s trying to achieve. I really just think he’s dumb and incompetent and that will lead to the failure of this system that has had a single strip of duct tape put over it.

The administration is meant to be the top of the chain. The most competent members of the staff who are charged with the responsibility of running the rest of the team. However it’s quite obvious from the past recent incidents that this is not the case. While a lot of the blame for the mishandling can be shoved off to Pun who was outed for her ERP with a minor... Telanir is the main focal point of blame in my own opinion. Policy from what I recall from my days as moderation manager is that cases of disturbing nature such as grooming and pedophilia is to be referred to Telanir. Telanir then can elect to delegate the case to members of his administration if he is on one of his many hiatuses or does not believe he is needed to handle the case. I saw the administration, and thus Telanir himself or by proxy, fail to take appropriate action time and time again. For two weeks a minor that had been jailbaiting (pretending to be of legal age when they were in fact not) for ERP and forming personal relationships by utilizing LOTC as a means to achieve such, was not banned. Despite overwhelming evidence where more than half a dozen players were interviewed and provided proof, along with evidence submitted by myself for the case... They refused to suspend her account. It took me getting fed up with the situation to take the steps to suspend her account. It then took several more weeks of what appeared to be Telanir doing nothing (as told to me by the administration I was communicating with) to finally give the obvious verdict. Their account has been banned until August 2021 where they may appeal their ban and return once more to the server. In the case which was the first of two topics in my thread which can be found here... Telanir took action that left a sour taste in the mouth of many when this case was reported the first time. Other than my conversation with the player in question, all evidence that was present on that report had been submitted to Telanir prior in a report from the player involved. The blatant petitioning of a minor for ERP from someone who acknowledges it as being wrong was met with a shadow staff blacklist. Their access to LOTC was not suspended. They weren’t barred from utilizing the server like they had been proven to be doing to connect with these individuals. It took a public thread for proper action to suspend the accounts of the player in question to happen. Where Telanir paraded around that he was making change by bringing forth investigation bans as something new, despite the policy existing for several months already, and claiming that new evidence that changed everything was brought forth. In the second case, this was handled by Pun and thus Telanir cannot be blamed, save for his inability to pick competent administrators who cannot protect players. Screenshots weren’t provided as the player on the receiving end of the abuse requested that they not be shown and we wanted to respect that. However the manipulation, gaslighting, and clear manipulation made many of us who were working on these reports to feel physically sick. The verdict on that? They wouldn’t touch it. “Just block them lol”. Nothing about restricting their access to prevent further victims. In response to this thread put forward by myself and several others, the administration put out their own responses. For those that don’t know, the policy of an administrative response such as the one received requires the administration to vote on it. This can add delays to a response coming out because one person may hold it up either due to being absent or wanting changes made. However once the thread it put out, it’s put forward as the collective, universal stance of the administration. And you know what they did? They dismissed the threads as rep farming. It wasn’t because of their failure to provide proper responses to the reports originally received. It wasn’t because the only avenue provided to us was to make the threads and force action through outrage. It was because we were wanting to up our rep ratio by capitalizing on the outrage of players. Though things have changed right? They’ve learned from their mistakes? You would hope so. But that’s proven to not be the case. In a more recent case that saw a moderator removed from the server for exchanging photos with a minor at the time, we saw the moderator banned from the server. We also saw a player from a secondary report involving the moderator banned as well. We however did not see the minor who had involved themselves in the situation and exchanged photos with the moderator suspended from LOTC. A player with an extensive history and has openly admitted to actively jailbaiting. With all of this in hand, why should I trust a team run by an administrator who has proven himself to be incapable of handing these cases? The answer is obvious, I can’t. For a team that remains unaccountable and continues to make outrageous errors... While in a way that I agree should not be the avenue we have to take, public reports and appealing to the server at large to get proper action taken is the only way to ensure accountability.

James2k is a very smart man So I did some number crunching If we assume that characters age at the same rate as we do which I derive from everyone RPing pregnancy as being 9 months... The LOTC year is only 168 days. That means an LOTC year is about half an IRL year. Which means that your character when they’re 18 years old in LOTC years is is actually only 8.28 years old in real life terms!!!! We need to ban everyone who has ever FTB’d on LOTC.

Korvic is a god. Thank you smelly fire bird man @iMattyz

We didn’t always agree on things, and near the end, we clashed over conflict. But you were always the one I rooted for at every turn, Silver. I always had faith in you. Sorry for making your last bit of your tenure a headache. You’re a good man, Silver. You deserve your break.

Telanir are you okay? Is this jumping back and forth and sudden changes a desperate cry for help?
