I like the hills in the background.

Person Who Hates LOTC But Plays It Anyways -Constantly complains about everything. -Takes part in every new RP server for a few weeks before they crash and burn. -Constantly at odds with the entire admin/staff team. -Whenever something dramatic happens, they scramble to create an anti-staff/admin thread about it before anybody else. -During the rare moments when they offer legitimate constructive criticism, the admins just hit then with the ol’ “Feedback Noted” and pretend that nothing ever happened.

Apologies for the mediocre shaders and poor FPS. I only have a cruddy laptop at my disposal that’s starting to show its age. Far from an optimal setup.

”T’EH END IS NIGH” Shouts Filibert Applefoot, local halfling know-it-all.

((Please end Arcas and bring us to 8.0 Please end Arcas and bring us to 8.0 Please end Arcas and bring us to 8.0 Please end Arcas and bring us to 8.0 Please end Arcas and bring us to 8.0 I pray that this is the event that will do it.)) Filibert Applefoot sighs as the sun’s gone. He’d take a quick note. “Hrm... sun, not present all of the time...”

I'm so early it hasn’t even premiered yet oof. I’ll edit this with my thoughts on it when it’s able to be viewed. @Madyssey okay I did not expect to see Filibert’s sister in the tutorial video, but I guess it’s a thing now. Kit-Kat is now famous.

Nice.

The typo is on the YouTube video itself. It still says it’s part one.

Pretty good! I think the music choice is a good fit. A slight criticism is that the introduction does not show a diverse enough slice of the server. It only shows High Elves, Humans, and Sutica. Maybe consider adding in a shot of Krugmar or Urguan. I know that you can’t show much without making the introduction too long, but it would be appreciated nontheless. Just like how the Home page should probably be edited to include Orcs in it, these tutorial videos should try and show as much of the server as possible. On another note, this is considered to be Part One of the series, but wasn’t the last tutorial video also Part One? I think that might be a typo.

Nice code stuff. I’d bother trying to crack it but that would take slightly more effort since it’s not instantly obvious what sort of code it is. Congrats on doing a better job at this than the staff, however. They had an event once with some coded stuff in a forum post and it could be cracked with a single google search and a copy+paste. EDIT: Okay I lied I tried out a few online decoder things to see if any would work. For the numbers at the end, I think it’s some sort of numeric cipher like A=1, B=2, etc. Could be jumbled by a Caeser Cipher or something as well IDK. For the capital letters/numbers mixed in where they shouldn’t be, I think it could be hexadecimal or something? Doesn’t really work properly since there isn’t enough numbers, but it’s a decent shot in the dark. I have absolutely no clue what the cut off sentences are supposed to be. Maybe they’re solved by cracking one of the codes provided in the forum post. Or maybe this is all nonsense designed to trick someone into thinking it’s a real code and spending time trying to crack it.

Activity checks are stupid, will always be stupid, and have always been stupid. They treat all activity as if it is the same, thus forcing groups to focus on quantity over quality. When used to consolidate RP in a select few locations, it forces nonsensical vassalizations and cohabitations that would not happen in roleplay normally. Honestly, instead of making lists of groups able to start with land on a new map, we should just have it be a free for all (perhaps in freebuild or something) where combat, diplomacy, economic arrangements, and managerial skills determines who gets what and how. After things have settled down a bit, then regions/tiles or whatever can be given to large settlements that’d suffer from griefing without a region.

This is my first proper guide to making multi-room burrows. I hope you enjoy it! Start by making a block outline of several connected circles. The circles can be of different shapes and sizes, as long as they are mostly rounded. You can use small corridors and hallways if you want as well. You can make use of semi-circles if you wish, as well as ovals and even rectangles if you round out the corners a bit. Dig out the area you intend to put a floor in. This should give you a general idea as to what your burrow will be like once you’re done with it. The outline of blocks should show through slightly in the interior of the finished build, although you can make it less visible by having the outline be the same block type as the walls. Add in the floor. This can be half slabs or full blocks depending on what sort of burrow you prefer. You can vary the floor height between rooms a bit in order to make things more interesting. In this screenshot, I had the entrance room be a half slab higher than the other three rooms. Add in supports and walls so that your burrow has a bit more structure. I personally like to use the same material I used for the outline as support beams, and then have the walls be the same as the flooring. Support beams look best when there’re showing more than one block face, so I usually put them in the corners. Add in a ceiling of half slabs going upwards to a point. This is to make the burrow look even more circular. You can experiment with different ceiling styles as you see fit, but if you’re out of ideas you can just replicate what I’ve built here. If you want a certain room to have a lot of usable furniture in it (like a dining room, for example), make sure the ceiling is high enough to not bash your head against it when moving around. Outside view of the ceiling. Cover the exterior of the burrow with dirt so that none of the material from the previous steps are showing. Make sure to not cover up any windows/entrances with dirt or else they won’t function properly! After you’ve hidden the interior with dirt, go around the burrow and add more dirt as needed to make it nice and rounded, easy to climb, and as natural-looking as possible. Use bonemeal so that it doesn’t look barren. You can add in some extra flowers by hand for a more vibrant appearance. Smooth out the top a bit so that there aren’t any single grass/dirt blocks poking out all on their own. Start decorating! If you have room, add a little fenced area outside of the entrance. Add in a chimney for any fireplaces you intend to put inside the burrow. Make the entrance into a proper circle instead of just a hole in the wall. (In order to make this exact entrance, stand on the block in front of the door and place two stairs on either side of you. Go to the opposite side of those stairs and put another stair upside down, followed by a full block on top of it. After that’s done, mirror the process on top of the full block and top it all off with three slabs to connect them) Decoration tips: -Whether the floor is a full block or half block has a heavy influence on the sorts of decorations you can make use of. -Make sure to use plenty of lighting! Jack o’ Lanterns are perfect for this, and can easily be hidden under carpets or put into the walls of the burrow without looking out of place. -Don’t obstruct movement by adding too much furniture. Make sure there is a mostly straight path to get from room to room. Otherwise the burrow will feel clunky instead of cozy. -Make sure to include plenty of usable features! The more you’ll make use of it, the more important it is to include it! Example Interior Decoration: A living room complete with a fireplace, sofa, and some crop storage! A slightly overgrown study, with bookshelves, a brewing stand, and some storage for loose documents! A simple dining room that doubles as a library. There’s a chest hidden underneath the trapdoor in the floor! A simple bedroom! A dining room right at the entrance, with potted plants and bookshelves in the corners! A fully functional kitchen perfect for baking! There’s a chest underneath the trapdoor in the floor! Connected bedrooms with small tables for late-night reading! A labelled storage room tucked away in a hallway! A vibrant burrow entrance full of color and abundant lighting!

Dunno who you are but that profile picture is very epic so I’ma have to give you a 6/10, very close to a 7/10.

RIP LOTC’s butterfly population
