“T’ey should return t’a Thains crown tha’ t’ey STOLE!” comments Mimosa Applefoot, a halfling and friend of Cyris.

[!] You find propaganda nailed to a tree Today, after seeing Redclyff vacant yet again during the second peaceful protest of the Loyal, Good, Brave, Qualified, Triumphant, and Brave coalition of Failor citizens, we found a strange camp within the wastes out to the east. This camp was filled to the brim with DEMONS who were promptly slain by the Loyal, Good, Brave, Qualified, Triumphant, and Brave coalition in order to protect the world from evil! The Demonic diamonds have been repurposed as decorations within our cities as all diamonds ought to be used! No more shall Failor be threatened by grey-skinned axe-wielding maniacs, magicians who summon ghostly creatures to do their bidding, and the war beasts these foul demons utilize! -Mimosa Applefoot, proud Demon hater.

Mimosa Applefoot returns home to Mingebottom “Tha’ was ah good peaceful protes’! Naybodeh even go’ hurt!”

I will get pugsied while mining clay

[!] You see a paper pinned to a local oak tree Warning: Savages! ~An area to avoid!~ Keep clear of the fork in the river near the north of Failor! Around there, nestled up between the mountains and river, lies a village of thieves who rob anyone who passes by! Their brutal, savage village is lined with heads on pikes and their history on Failor so far is that of brutality against the innocent! I myself have been robbed at axe-point twice by these people, and the Thain of Mingebottom, King Cyris himself, had his eyes gouged out by these unsaved souls, such is their brutality and lack of remorse! Steer clear of this savage, brutal, cruel, and pagan village! A longer journey that avoids this area is far preferable to taking a shortcut through it! -Mimosa Applefoot

Although the ol' halfling camp was ruined by bandits and raiders, us halfling peoples are not so easy to give up! Together with the friendly big-folks of the land we've re-established a home for us all, nestled away deep within a wood farm of our own making and full of all the requirements of pleasant, comfortable life! ~A burrow in the shire~ Our sheep farm shall provide wool to all friendly travellers, our fields food for the hungry, and our woods building supplies for those who wish to settle near us! Knox bless the shire! -Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot.

The rule change for those here who haven't seen it

Then a good compromise is to add all of the normal combat rules of main LOTC to the freebuild map so true authentic LOTC conflict is what occurs instead of unorganized pugsy spawn camp crews! EDIT: And with the rule change that just launched, apart from the desert section of the freebuild area this appears to be what has happened! Good job staff!

Pugsying is not authentic LOTC PvP!

Reminder that /beta exists and provides constant PvP enjoyment specifically catered to PvPers!

Normally when halflings are raided the roleplay chat feature is utilized and lavacasting isn't allowed!

Lads when I said I wanted a freebuild temp map I did not mean that I wanted spawn camping, lava casting, and mass pugsying to be allowed as well. The way things are right now PvP goons will have a bit of fun killing everyone and lava casting everyone's builds until there's nobody left to pugsy and lava cast and then Failor will die out as do many 2b2t clones. We were able to allow freebuild WITHOUT allowing pugsying and lava casts in the Arcas-Almaris transition map I don't see why this should be different.

"Oi dink yew 'ave ah vereh infla'ed view o' yar own impor'ance mis'ah. 'ave aneh o' t'ae Shamans o' Druids shared 'n t'ese visions o' yars?" comments Mimosa Applefoot-Nimblefoot, a halfling who did not heed any warnings of any strange old men.

"T'is is vereh informa'ive" says Mimosa Applefoot, a fellow halfling stuck in Arugula's wastes.

It says that MOJANG is allowed to use the creation of any other person and that MOJANG can permit other people to use said creations.

Dang, I didn't know that Mojang gave LOTC permission to use all of the TrixyBlox assets! My apologies! I'd like to see the permit Mojang gave us for this though.

The claim that the Temp Map was entirely made by LOTC outside of the two town assets ("This map was built by ST Builders outside of those two assets") is false. The massive lanterns used multiple times in the Temp Map are also straight from TrixyBlox. Watch him build it here: Here you can see it on the temp map: "When asked yesterday in #OOC, I'd stated (i hoped clearly) that this map was a combination of on-server builders and off-server builders. " This is not enough individual credit given to the ONE BUILDER who made THREE different assets used in the Temp Map. I hope this server will provide more credit to outside builders in the future.

I think TrixyBlox should win this one he made the entire temp map single handedly

If it turns out we did get proper permission to use TrixyBlox assets in the temp map it can be salvaged by adding in a freebuild area for builders to dork around in and a PvP zone for the goons to practice their clicks in. If it turns out that we used all of these assets without permission then the server should be set to a vanilla MC world for plugin testing until 9.0 launch.

excellent i'm proud of u A+ on this assignment
