Necromancers are infertile, incapable of having children as they rot in their own skin, so no minecraft sex on this children's server, sorry.

You completely missed my point. Take for example a roleplay wedding. That is an event based on romance that is not sexual FTB. Your reasoning for the redlines change mention that you're taking romance away from the necros despite the redlines change not actually doing that.

Edit: the proposed redlines change was altered to fix this, see above.

Spoiler

Necromancers cannot sexually FTB under any circumstance.

 

Reasoning:

 

  Hide contents

Necromancy itself is a deplorable practice that breaches morals across many fronts, spending my time as one over the span of a year + I’ve watched many ways to subvert Lore which defeats the spirit of it. I wish to further cement Necromancy as a dark magic rather than a special flavor for an OC to allow proper antagonist narratives to be developed and their archetype upheld instead of spun by unspecified areas. This facet is better suited as the forfeit of their soul to achieve abhorrent, dastardly things and should be upheld to this standard.

 

My reasoning to remove Romance is thus:

 

Roleplaying as a necromancer and then venturing into romantic roleplay is downright absurd and jarring. Let's face it, necromancy is all about toying with death and raising the dead – a practice that's steeped in darkness and often carries sinister connotations. On the other hand, romance is a realm of love and emotional connection, about as far from necromancy as you can get.

 

The emotional clash between these two themes is nothing short of bizarre. Necromancy revolves around exploring dark, twisted emotions and power dynamics, which is light years away from the warm, affectionate emotions found in romantic storytelling. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Necromancer characters are often depicted as mysterious, aloof, or malevolent, which doesn't exactly set the stage for the tender, open-hearted, and loving dynamics typical of romantic narratives. The sheer incongruity of these character traits makes it seem like a bad joke.

 

While roleplaying allows for creative freedom, it's no wonder that pairing necromancy and romance can leave others scratching their heads in disbelief. The weirdness of this combination is a glaring reflection of the stark contrast between these two opposing themes, and it's hard to fathom why anyone would want to venture into such a peculiar and disjointed roleplay scenario.

Small problem: This proposed redline specifically bans Sexual FTBing for necros despite the reasoning behind it mentioning a total ban on Romance RP for necros. These are distinct things and it's entirely possible to do romance RP without sexual FTB (just do stork lore/retcon in children if you want to start a family lol). As such, there is a disconnect between the proposed redlines change and the rationale behind it.

EDIt: since this reply was made the redlines change was altered to add in a ban on romance instead of just the no FTB rule, thus fixing the disconnect between proposed change and reasonings for it.

Enjoy it as best you can! Try not to get into any mid-track collisions as there's only one rail line for both directions!

Nomads cannot cause extreme or permanent changes to the land (terraforming, large farms, houses, et cetera).

This needs more clarification. How large a farm is too large? Are only tents allowed or are dugouts and small huts ok too? Can nomad camps have walls?

as a completely unbiased farmer I believe the taxes should be paid in hay bales instead

Sadly nomadic lifestyle does not work well with a tile system and minas fees, applications, etc. required to move your realm. Maybe a lair could work but again it’d take a lot of effort to move it around.

Pies!

I love baking pie, eating pie, and harvesting the ingredients to make pie. As the Pumpkin Autumn turns the shire into shades of muted oranges and yellows, we must not regret the loss of green leaves and pastures, for instead we shall welcome the new season with merriment!

We shall eat PIE! Next Pumpkin Day, we will eat Pumpkin Pie until we cannot anymore!

Mayor of Dúnwen.

OOC:

Hello there!
This is an event designed to simulate a single day of halfling life as best as possible.

Everybody starts at the beginning of the hour, having just woken up. Their characters then go about their day as they would IRP, eventually falling back to sleep at the end of the hour, which ends the event. Working, eating, talking, and other things your character typically does in a day can and should be roleplayed. There will be a single roleplay prompt happening during the hour to promote interaction, but attending it isn’t mandatory. Feel free to do as you wish. The intention isn’t to attract a large quantity of halflings into one location at a time, but rather to create as much immersion as possible.

SoL Event Checklist (Optional):

-Wake up ( )
-Eat something ( )

-Do some task ( )

-Interact with someone ( )

-Eat another thing ( )

-Go to sleep ( )
