It’s a minecraft server. Worst case scenario, Telanir does a bad job and he finds someone to replace himself. Telanir isn’t that bad of a guy; he’s just a busy guy. I’m sure being in a position that forces him to engage with the community will allow him more time to engage with the community and become more available. Admins have busy jobs, and with twenty plus pms a day on top of irl and admin duties, it’s difficult to get back to every single comment made in the dms. Either this gets Telanir to be more available, or nothing changes. Not much of a possible negative, really. Best of luck to both Muffins and Telanir. ****’s hectic all over the place, irl and online, and I’m certain they’ll at least try to do their best. Again, the worst thing that could happen is they just aren’t great and have to find replacements or switch places again. It’s not like anyone’s personas or lore is at stake. Just calm down and go with the flow

add shade to the “shelved” list pls and thanks

The conflict of Walden is literally him deciding to abandon civilization in America and having to deal with the pressures of living outside of society. The climax of the story is him surviving the harshness of winter, and its resolution is him deciding his project succeeded and him deciding to return to society. The argument kind of falls flat when you’re taking a story with literally one character and comparing it to a massive online community with hundreds of players who are all involved in inter connecting stories. also this is literally conflict

I should go grammar Nazi on you one day for the sole reason of ignoring my grammatical advice that one time

Only thing that’s changed is the lack of a “Snow Elf” option in your character card. There is literally 0 change. You could literally say “lol **** the stupid ST I’m ignoring them and not gonna change a single damn thing” and you would be completely valid and they would not be able to stop you. Literally if you want to do something against them that might actually be tangible and have some sort of effect, just report the ones who are being toxic and laughing at you. Then they’ll get yelled at again and people might actually get in trouble lol. There’s no reason to look stupid on the forums just to scream about a change that doesn’t affect anything regarding your characters’ stories, which should really be the only the thing that matters anyways. This isn’t the same as shelving kha. There’s no change. Seriously join the story discord though. This idea has been thrown around a lot in that discord, I remember it because I argued for it as a player, and this really isn’t surprising. The best way to stay in touch with what the story team is doing and to voice your opinion is to talk in the discord.

In order for shade magic to be functional as a curse, you would have to make it fun to play, make it fun for other people to interact with, and make it make sense for your character to have. There are numerous downsides to the current iteration of shade magic and my current rewrite. They’re just not brought on by the magic but instead through roleplay. You get ousted as a shade, and you’re suddenly banned from roleplaying with most of lotc. You’ll be considered kill on sight, you can have your magic taken away literally at any given time (something you will not find in literally any other magic), and a good shade player is going to roleplay the mental illness and physical weakness pretty well. People find out someone plays a shade and expect them to act like a lunatic all the time when that doesn’t make sense at all. The moment a shade player does literally anything related to shade lore, such as mental illness rp, or having a seizure in public, they get metagamed and executed. I have seen characters immediately assume any sign of mental abnormality means that someone who they know oocly is a is a shade irply. There isn’t any cool investigation roleplay done for the mentally ill. The mentally ill don’t get locked up in an asylum, as ******* killer that would be. As a shade, I have kidnapped people, I have monologued with people in order to coerce them onto my side, I have barely killed absolutely anyone because I understand that constant murder makes for bad villainy unless it’s preplanned. But everytime I get caught in my acts, there is almost never even a hint of having the favor repaid. It is always instant death, no imprisonment rp, no torture rp, there isn’t even a dramatic spiel to try and get me to realize my wrong doings. It’s always death. No exceptions. That **** is among the biggest reasons why Shade magic is so abhorrently awful. No one wants shade to be a power grab. No one wants shade to be full of murder hobos. Everyone wants “good villainy” to come from shades; everyone has such high expectations for shades. But they don’t want to meet those expectations themselves. No one wants shade to be a power grab, but everyone is extremely eager to fit their magic with a shade defeating macguffin so they can one shot shades. No one wants shade to be full of murder hobos, but you bet your ass it’s okay to kill any shade you see on sight for no reason at all. Everyone wants to see good “villainy” from shades, but not a single ******* person wants to go out of their way to act as a good hero for shades either. It’s exhausting as ****. No ******* wonder the shade community hates rping with people outside of it. The **** we looked forward to the most, being villains, is the worst goddamn experience you can have on lotc. Egomaniacal Paladin murder hobos who are obsessed with being heroes, sociopathic nation leaders who refuse to let anything bad happen to their people or nation, they are ******* exhausting to deal with. After constantly dealing with such brazen levels of toxicity, it makes you want to hide away so you can cool down, and then you’re afraid that it’s going to happen again, so you don’t do **** anymore because there’s no point in playing a villain. Shade magic sucks ass because once you realize how awful it is to be a villain on lotc, you realize that you have nothing to do besides roleplaying the mental downsides and continuing to grow your character. There’s a lot of fun with manipulating outcast characters into becoming shades in order to grow your coven, expand your ranks, and plot to ruin descendant life. But once you hit the realization that there’s no point in playing a villain on lotc, everything becomes boring. The “shade magic should be a curse waaah waaah” is ******* stupid too. It’s a curse as it is now. The vast majority of shades end up giving the magic up irply because they can’t handle the downsides. Shade fathers have to constantly manipulate their shadelings to stay in the coven with promises that everything gets better down the line. In order to get new shades, our characters have to manipulate and lie and make empty promises to future shadelings to get them to join us. And that is so ******* fun. It’s like making a deal with the devil. But no one ever wants to bring that up or acknowledge it. Shade magic is a curse right now, but it’s not the curse other people want. So people cry and ***** and moan. I guarantee that if this shade magic were to get accepted, not a single one of the shade haters who enjoy this write would still take it up. People want shade magic to be good, but it’s not JUST the magic itself that’s the problem. It’s the community as a whole. It absolutely does not matter how good shade more gets if the lotc community remains like it is now. If y’all want shade magic to get better, y’all are going to have to convince the whole ass lotc community to be better. Provide good hero rp that is more than just killing if you want good villain rp. If you want good villain rp, provide good victim rp. And just get rid of the shitty ass cry baby nation leader rules. If it was genuinely enjoyable to play a villain on lotc, the quality of shade magic would rise sharply. But the entire Shade community is burnt the **** out because of horrible playerbases who just murderhobo and metagame instead of providing an equal level of content. Shade magic is useless as ****. Just go play a mentally ill character and you’ll get the same cool development and rp, and people won’t be interested in one shotting you because they’ll know oocly you’re not a shade. The magic isn’t worth the stress that comes with it.

Me too. Cool ****, it’s what I would have written if I still cared, minus some aesthetics I would have kept. Nevertheless, I doubt it would last if accepted. Shade magic isn’t good for lotc, and lotc isn’t a good place for shade magic. All the cool **** people do with shade magic can be done by saying your character has a mental illness anyways. Nice read though; I always enjoy what you put out.

I didn’t ignore anyone and I meant to get back and make some changes, but to be honest, this was never a set in stone project of mine that I was desperately excited to see get implemented. I was just in the mood to write and I ended up writing all of this. Due to my inability to motivate myself properly in order to add the suggested changes I agree with, I’m not going to be making further edits to this. If this gets into a lore mag and is denied, anyone is free to adopt this and use any ideas herein to write a suitable fix; I won’t mind. I’d appreciate some credit though.

Joel uses every opportunity he can to threaten the server with a massive PK event. I think it’s rather clear by now that admins wouldn’t ever allow this in the first place. “YOU SHOULDNT HAVE SAID IT IN THE FIRST PLACE” is low tier excuse to just have more reasons to be mad and to stay mad. At least st are pumping out stuff that has more complexity to it than Voidal Armageddon TM for the twentieth time in a row. Besides, it’s literally a map transition event. Stakes should be high as **** if you want characters to ever have a reason to take them seriously.
