Markosi sure does give a lot infractions to members of the ISA for being a biased moderator. Maybe blame it on the current set of raid rules the server has that makes it impossible to easily follow raid rules while also trying to have realistic war scenarios, rather than blame a moderator who has given the same type of infractions to both sides of the conflict because he’s following protocol.

lmao I love lotc cliques 

my clique is better than your clique give me reputation

@Narthok “Sorry, you cannot add any more reactions today.” ok

And why would you sack the city if it's safely in Oren hands... Sacking your own city? Pfft. What of the people who want to keep living there?

Sadly I seriously doubt that any residents will want to continue living there as the vast majority of Courlanders are loyal to Vege and any who wish to stay will be living in an empty city, which will be really exciting rp for them.

There's about 3 courlanders who support draeris. All that Draeris has done is turn a popular rp hub into a dead place.

what ferdingtonguy said
the creation of new realms are fine so as long as they can maintain their activity or else we get situations where realms with a peak of 2 - 3 people regularly exist

Idk much of what happened, but the Vikela allegedly kicked everyone out of their discord over the lurin incident after trying to pvp them & failing 

That, and I've never seen Vikela with more than 3 ppl at a time

It'd be better for them to vassal under another place, because they don't seem to have the unique culture nor playercount to really justify a whole tile to themselves- nor do I think they have the maturity to lead a nation, based off that discord thing & them reporting comments critiquing the realm app

this isn't just my opinion on vikela but all of these realms (esp human ones) that're more or less the same & don't seem to have the unique cultural identity & playercount to rationalize them not just being another vassal

A place that cannot sustain itself in the long run no matter whom they are will seemingly always fail in the end. Sure there are no activity checks but that doesn't stop someone from going to conquer them. 

I'm unaware of the Incident where they kicked people out their discord- I think if that's true then that only goes to show how much progress has been made since their "Rising"

However this status is a general statement, any vassal or soon to be settlement who cannot sustain itself, without a dedicated community and a leadership thats also mature is sadly going to crumble, sadly thats how things happen.

but who knows, this world is filled with mystery- that's just how the future works.

Is this a case of "It takes one to know one"? 

Btw.. RRRRRRRR

damn right!

people who reserve a forum reply pot at all re just dumb

@Unwillingly Yeah sorry about that... Was riding a dumb train of thought at that moment.

It had more to do with viewing it through the lenses of the ever favorite concept of "immortality" and how it provides no real 'point' at all and infact makes you be OOCly more worried over death since it now actually has penalties for said creatures. For example you could just become an elf and never consent to PKing your character on death and you could still have them live for up to 20 IRL years before they grow too old. (Which of course isn't an issue! This is in the end of the day a place with the goal of creating stories, nobody should be able to forcefully kill off another's character before their player is ready to put their tale to an end themselves..!!!!!)

That was the idea, entirely divorced from the fact that the creatures that often possess said immoralities are inhumane entities that have grown detached and separate from the rest of descendantkind down to their very soul having been altered and being creatures that most often than not, retain said immortality by eating the bone marrow of newborn infants or smth. On which point I 100% agree with you, OF COURSE and creatures that have abilities that center specifically on murderizing people should face penalties once they are actually vanquished so that they are even the smallest amount more careful about who or where they attack

This wasn't mean to be interpreted as "Darkspawn should have the exact same respawn mechanics as your average unremarkable person", just how having your character become actually immortal is not all that special really

@UnwillinglyYou're not wrong in saying that people really not wanting to die is a general issue and not found solely in people who have CAs that have death restrictions. I still think that being a CA that may not be able to play for XYZ time or until someone does ZYX to revive them WILL contribute to this attitude.

I just think it's not a good thing to implement these death restrictions and then usually, use that to justify a CA being very powerful. There you get situations where CAs are both frustratingly powerful in CRP AND really averse to losing and dying because it locks them out of their persona. 

I also think it's contraproductive to promoting fun villainy rp coming from these CAs. For example, a player might want to go out to do villainy but, they realise they have an event in 2 days, so if they die, they can't attend due to the respawn mechanics, so they either don't go out and do that rp OR do go out but be really unwilling to die.

I really don't see any benefits to any of the CAs that have these restrictions. You're punishing CA players for doing these encounters and losing. I don't think the people who win these encounters get more enjoyment out of the encounter knowing the enemy player's character won't be around for a week.

if you dont want a respawn mechanism, go play a character that isn't a CA, it's that easy. 

Oh but DDOSing can do quite a bit.

And go to prison if the Bobbys get involved. 

True but IF a cop finds out they will go to jail OR prison.

The main consistent issue we have is copy pasting of literally the exact same emote three times or whatever they need to do to meet a requirement for ‘sufficient roleplay’. We want banditry RP to create interesting interactions and “add value” to a players roleplay experience. Adding value doesn’t necessarily mean that the player will leave that situation glad they got robbed of course, but creating an environment where this banditry impacted their character in some way or lead to more roleplay interaction with the group or individual is good. So while there shouldn’t be anything wrong with a player having saved emotes, we want those emotes to be both engaging and realistic both in what they are trying to accomplish, while also leaving room for the player being engaged upon to respond in some way, this means not spamming all emotes at once but giving time for an interaction to occur if that makes sense.

That is a very reasonable and completely acceptable response, however, it seems to not be what all of your colleagues follow, which is my issue. Please make some solid rules about it, so we don’t get confusion. @Anore

Markosi, for one (not trying to call him out or criticize him here, just to give an example) said that we shouldn’t have done halting emotes in our first emote, and that it should just be an attention grabbing emote, however, in the rules page:

the emote linked under the ‘here’ is quite literally a halting emote: https://imgur.com/U1l5scX

I’d just like to see a clear rule, so that there’s no more confusion about it, because staff have gone from “not allowed” to “allowed” to “allowed in some cases” and back multiple times, and there’s no way of knowing what is acceptable when. 

idk, i think that halt emotes should be allowed to copy paste because not everyone writes fast enough, and the person being halted should be allowed to turn around and fight because the person halting is probably expecting a fight

If you feel more obliged to answer a minecraft call than spend time with your family...

idk man

(That said I will also be playing games and ignoring family)

they didn’t say anything about discord raids tbf

more like theelvenspaz

Spaz? Not really.

Help! Goosey is harrassing me again!!! 

I miss you flemish, when can we rp again?

@Knighteicome to renatus bro, i get harassed by frisky reivers everywhere else ?

good idea, but renatus too scared to make a warzone... ?

Agreed, purge the new GMs too. Everyone who joined in the last 3 days tbh

I put forward sectioning permissions in moderation and bringing on people from staff into forum moderation as an additional duty. Would eventually open it up to public applications when policy and such was ironed out because it had been neglected... Still using the old FM stuff, branding and all...

Telanir, Tarre, and Flam all voted no (found out before the admin votes were finished) to it despite the entire moderation team at the time being in agreement in being in favour of it. 

Makes me cry 

Disagree with the toxicapple

took a 7 man rally to a city, bypassed iron doors and hugged players before leaving. reasons 101 every staff involved issue can’t be treated the same. the context is always different. should be a warning or maybe some laughs instead for positive vibes

I agree, we just lock picked some doors, rped with a afk player which soon returned then asked to leave which we did then got banned which all my guys as well got warning points....

We brought 40 people to gates. Yelled six lines of RP. Banned for three weeks. NICE.

so true

^^^^^

hiebe moment

He stalks me no worries

what the ****

Fury is a creep t b h

not that they’ll listen to us at the end of the day

staff does as staff please. the whims of white-names are whispers in the wind.

I vote Mynebor. Staff.... *sings* can't touch this. 😏😎

Yeah it seems to be down, maybe something to do with the recent forum troubles... 😞 this is kinda a pain for me, too.

It looks like they killed the old machine that forums + misc stuff used to run on. Forums got migrated but they might not have migrated the other services.

I got the map bro. Message me on discord Boom#0009

blacklist people who powergame like shit and find any reason to modreq when rping

people who powergame at all should be removed from lotc crp

from you of all people, lol

no why are you always so angry

yes why are you always so right

wish i could hit that retweet button

just say it

🙏

Me first please

ngl we all got a good laugh, especially this one 

?

i feel you'd get more out of this if you didnt use leo's character for the elf

it was actually tau's character, but all the welves are all carbon copies

ah. finally, a man culture i can get behind

you play a dangerous gambit
but one i support

imagine one of these being used on a city lol

https://prntscr.com/nwg2ow

Probably, it’s just very difficult to enforce that.

:)

This. Surely it’s possible to make sure the people involed in the BR get the ability to see it? It does not need to become a rep farm for the entire server to laugh at but giving multiple parties a chance to provide their input while directly speaking to eachother rather than forwarding their evidence to a GM should be possible.

Agreed.

as a great man once said...

lol

a flat max would b better

flat max at 300k then...

how am i gonna keep the 6,000,000 minas that mystery spawned for me
