NotEvilAtAll

when I wake up I don't want this redstone mechanism to have anything left in it. drain it dry, boys.

Here's some screenshots from the epic Halfling fair yesterday: We did the Cha Cha slide, t'was fun Spleef winner @Rioling gazes at the crowd! Competitive Harvest! Lining up! A feast at the Applefoot Burrow!

accept or else you will be pugsied @ST

Filibert Applefoot busts into the scene at perhaps the worst possible moment:

[!] You find a message nailed to the stem of a giant flower in Honeyhill "O' great flowers, bless us all. May ye bloom across the village and through the vale, up the water and over the hilltops, across every land and every realm until no more stand in your way and all is coated in your brilliance -M.A"

Filibert Applefoot continues on as normal, not knowing that the High Pumplar is even dead, for nobody has told him yet!

Someone hire this lad NOW

i'd rate about 7.5/10 or so. I feel like I should know you better but I guess we just don't RP in the same areas.

Filibert Applefoot, a local halfling and elder of Honeyhill, nods "G'der see t'a tradi'ion live on"

[!] A note is pinned to the Honeyhill Noticeboard and spread around the city of Karosgrad! T'a Flowers be Back! Praised be the Great Flowers, always blooming in our village when the time is right! We ought to celebrate and worship these flowers, for they are magical in origin and shall bless all who respect them! The Spirits are with the flowers, Knox is with the flowers! With this, I announce a GRAND FLOWER FAIR to pay tribute to the flowers of Honeyhill! Upon the Grand Harvest o' the next year we shall party until we cannot party any longer! Fair Activities: ~Flower Dance, in pairs of two!~ ~Pumpkin Carving!~ ~Flower Judging!~ ~A GREAT Harvest of all the fields and feast afterwards to celebrate!~ ~Shogging & Spleef!~ LORD KNOX AND ALL OF HIS SPIRITS BE WITH US! -Mimosa Applefoot, halfling of Honeyhill ((Event on 3 PM EST, Saturday the 21st of May, 2022))

Watch me fail at using a trebuchet lol

Grohnst the Olog does a terrible job managing a trebuchet, hitting random stuff in the middle of the city instead of the palace "GrohNzt Iz VerI HelPFaL" he'd burp out after eating random cakes in the city.

"Maybeh 't isn' ac'ualleh called Pib Mala an' tha's jus' "Hello" 'n frog tongue" says Filibert to himself again, still reading in the Honeyhill library. He certainly talks to himself too much in his old age.

"Tha' sure beh one ugleh lookin' Frog" says Filibert to himself, looking over the work in the Honeyhill Museum "Oi be' 't does sing realleh well though"

Does anyone else here have anecdotes about OOC blacklisting or is this just a one-off misunderstanding kinda thing? I'd like to hear more stories on this.

Grohnst the Olog shouts "WAAAAGH", before letting out a few tears. "GroHnZt NuB Get Da WAAGH... da ElyZianz FLatz AlreadY..."

A&W is pretty good sorry

I am going to start a thing where I go around on /museum and review old freebuild towns Here's my criteria: Build Quality: Whether or not the build looks good/bad Modesty: Does the freebuild town give itself a reasonable area or instead claim way more territory than it has population to put in? Relevance: Does/did anybody care about the town at all? (this one isn't really a "more relevant = good, less relevant = bad" kinda thing, just another thing I'ma put in the reviews). Creativity: Does the town stand out from others or is it a dime a dozen settlement? Onto the first freebuild town (On Arcas wildlands): Alfring Coords: on Arcas: -3123, 60, 1497 Population: 2 (planned to house up to 4, it seems). Build is not finished on the museum server, perhaps it was finished by the end of Arcas since Build Quality: I rate this 8/10. Really depends on what the finished palisade would look like, but the longhouses seen on the museum save look decent. Modesty: 9/10 for modesty, just a small village with a small palisade planned around it. With a population of two, a single vacant longhouse, and another longhouse planned to be built, Alfring certainly wasn't building a huge city that'd lie vacant forever. Relevance: 3/10. Cannot find any mention of Alfring on the forums, Cannot find any mention of the characters who lived here on the forums. That being said, at least it's not a single person freebuild settlement. Creativity: 7/10, pretty typical viking style. It has a cool altar but other than that it looks a lot like a Norlandic settlement. Points still given for not being a bunch of oak plank SMP houses that a stereotypical freebuild village might be made out of. Onto the next freebuild settlement: The Monastery Hidden in Clouds + Tongku and Friends lumping these two together due to their similar themes Monastery Hidden in Clouds Population: 1 Tongku and friends Population: 3? Coords: on Arcas: -2952, 85, 1376 Build Quality: 7/10. Held back a bit by the massive walls around Tongku's estate being kinda bad. The houses themselves are great though. The Monastery in the Clouds is the weaker of the two homes, but not terrible. Tongku's home is high quality but held back by the walls around it. Monastery Hidden in Clouds Tongku & Friends estate Modesty: 2/10, it's bad. Both builds take up a lot of area despite only housing a few people each. At least the Monastery in the Clouds does this with bamboo instead of gigantic walls all around, so that's more excusable at least. I have zero clue with the Tongku pagoda builders felt the need to wall off so much territory only to put a stables and some farms in it. Seems like a waste of materials. Relevance: Eh, 4/10. I can verify that Tongku was a real Hou-zi character via a quick forum search. There's two other claimed beds in the pagoda who don't show up on the forums. I do not know who lived in the Monastery Hidden in Clouds, only that they were a Hou-Zi as well. At least it's not a one man giga settlement lol, seems like a handful of people were living in the general area. Creativity: 8/10. The pagodas are nice and not much like that existed on Arcas apart from other hou-zi stuff and maybe one eastern themed settlement somewhere. The Monastery Hidden in Clouds has a neat vibe to it with the bamboo forest planted around it along with its publicly available animal pens and free bamboo. (EDIT: The Monastery Hidden in Clouds is called the Xiaoling Monastery, but Xiaoling also yields no forum search results. I guess whoever made the monastery didn't use the forums much) okay onto the good stuff: RANDOM, UNNAMED VILLAGE (I seriously cannot find the name of this village) coords: on Arcas: -2582, 76, 1082 Population: I'm two lazy to count, but I have verified that at least a few people lived here from time to time via some forum searching (@DragonofTatersseems to have managed the animals). It certainly has all the signs of a modestly populated village. There's a lot of houses and none of them seem to be vacant (although I don't think this sort of free form village layout lends itself to evictions for inactivity). Seems to have been mostly elven although there's a few halfling burrows so maybe a halfling or two lived here for some time as well (or elves building like halflings, that was a weird trend at the time in Arcas if I recall correctly). Build Quality: Yeah this is an easy 10/10 just look at it. It looks better than 90% of Almaris. Look at this terraforming. This is incredible. It's amazing that people spent the time to build this in freebuild of all places. Up on the mountaintops near the village there's this random tree house. Probably just some cruddy noob home, right? Surprise! It actually looks really good wtf! There's another hidden base under some theatre in the area too. A whole bunch of crazy stuff. A lot of good builders must've been tinkering around with freebuild in this village. Modesty: 6/10. Sorta spreads out a bit and has some semi-attached semi-separate homes on the edges (no walls = no hard borders, hard to tell if some farms some 50 blocks away are a part of the village or just coincidentally nearby). I don't blame this village for that, however. It's going for a more rural vibe and I respect that. Relevance: indeterminate. I do not know the name of this village. I know it had a fair few people in it whose existence I can verify on the forums. I cannot search the forums with the name of this village to find any RP threads related to it, so I can only work with context clues. I do not know if this village was regularly inhabited with leadership and event planning or just some loose build area for a friend group to mess around in whenever they felt like building. Probably was RPed in at least a little bit, since I doubt people would go through all the trouble to do this building and not use it. Creativity: 9/10, some overlap with halfling/elven building and the houses themselves aren't too extraordinary, yet the general free-form vibe is refreshing to look at. It looks and feels like a true freebuild town, not some charter settlement exported into freebuild. It's clear that no one mind thought up of and planned the whole place. Lots of hands pitched in yet the village doesn't look like a case of too many cooks ruining the kitchen. This concludes the first freebuild town review message me on discord NotEvilAtAll#2321 if you wanna see any other freebuild towns rated.

The problem with reducing discord usage is that you're at a competitive disadvantage against any communities that are heavily discord reliant. Discord doesn't really improve the server but it's a sort of thing where either everybody weans off of heavy discord use or nobody really can.

Filibert Applefoot takes a look through the window of his burrow "Wha's tha' t'ey sayin'? Somefin' abou' folks dyin' again? Bahh.... oi'm ter old fer dyin', tha' crud's fer young'ns!" he'd laugh, moving over to his parlour room to smoke a pipe
