Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this is more or less what the community manager is for (One man HR that is)? Not a condescending question in the slightest. Merely a confirmation that I have a proper understanding of the role and its purpose. On a separate note @marimbamonk I personally enjoy seeing the different artwork and screenshots that have been developed for LOTC. Would there be a possibility of the Media Team developing a community DeviantArt or adding a sort of Gallery tab to the LOTC website so that the community can share artwork or screenshots of different events that they have enjoyed? This could also be useful in terms of the wiki team having better access to when certain events might have taken place for records sake. Naturally, this idea would need some fleshing out in terms of how to best avoid inappropriate content being shared. Still one worth considering! Edit: I am aware of the Media section on the forums that has a place for screenshots, videos, etc. This is to instead of having a bunch of pictures spread out through a bunch of forum posts, centralize things in a collage-like manner. Perhaps character art could be grouped in one section, event pictures in another, etc.

Aldonza Castelo, upon reading the notice, would sigh. By the seven skies, she wouldn't mind going the rest of her lifetime without hearing that damn name.

These look awesome! I love the shading balance! I have a bad habit of shading the crap out of everything ;-;

Aldonza Castelo would read over the paper, a mead in her other hand. The woman would shake her hand in disappointment as she reads over the article detailing the Aldenburg matters. "Well... at least the Kavietsby family is being recognized." She would sigh, passing The Holm Herald over to Roland. "We could buy an ad for Castelo Commodities, no?"

I've really enjoyed rping with you in the past and helping me first get situated upon the creation of the Belladonna family. I wish nothing but good fortune for you and thank you for all that you have done for the halfling community!

The family pigeon would fly down to greet Rosyra Belladonna in the Mother Grove. "'Ullo!" She would call to the familiar creature, untying the note attached to its leg. Moments later, the halfling could be seen running off back to the Southern regions to see to it that her father and younger sisters were alright.

Looking forward to the future of having you filling the role of community manager. It'll be a tough job, but based on this and all the work you've done in the past for the LOTC community, I have high hopes!

While not super active (commenting wise) in some of the more intense debates seen on the Forums, marimba is an awesome dude and has experience under his belt. I think he's a good pick for the job and I'm excited to see how he'll fill the shoes.

((Yes! A Firelands event! I've been trying to get one of these. Hopefully it'll reveal some region lore.)) Nona, hidden away in her study, notes the passing strangers. They did not seem the type interested in a little chat...

Rosyra Belladonna would begin the trek back home in hopes of visiting family and seeing these new improvements!

Should there be a sort of tutorial set in place, going over in better detail emoting, roleplay, pvp, etcetera? It may not have to be required upon joining, but at least having one set up so that those interested can go through it.

Whispers of the chamber would reach the ears of Rosyra Belladonna. Bah. What could she do to help. The young halfling wouldn't dare set out in search of answers. Right? They say a dead man tells no tales, but these men were very much alive. Weaving stories in their drunken state, some of woe and others of horror. Aldonza had been hearing many stories lately as the women took up more shifts in the tavern and less on the battleground. In the past she might have been quick to seek out the source of such rumors, but in times like these... "Let them tell their stories." The Castelo might remark, laying a hand upon her extended stomach. "I have my own battles to fight." It didn't take much to perk the curiosity of Nona. Flipping through her old journals with a frown, the woman marks her research of moon-gazing. "You. You started this, didn't you?" Stowing the old one, the scholar pulls out a fresh journal and begins to write. Such a topic of research would take thorough examination. It would take time that she didn't have. Nona couldn't forget her duties as Mayor and there were still answers regarding the Firelands that she seeked. But perhaps a little digging into the situation would do no harm.

Can we note the different people asking if certain races have an angsty teen phase? Cause that was cracking me up ? Also: Casually adopting different races into your family? Please tell me art will be made depicting the family photo because that is something I HAVE to see.

Welcome to the server! As Unwillingly said, feel free to pm me if looking for some good ol' ooc friends. In game wise, a lot has already been said for what you can do though I would add bartender or tavern worker to the list of good jobs. They can be a go to place for rp within cities as it is neutral ground rather than having to snoop about homes, shops, and what not to find people.

Yeah, had some formatting issues and the like when first posted. All fixed now!
