hunt darkspawn, get cool ((forbidden and sinful)) st signed items. trade them on the ((black)) market for rarer ((even more sinful)) items. continue this cycle until you attract wealth due to your sheer net worth in lucrative investments. establish a paper currency to destroy the mina. pay off large businesses to only accept unwillingly-bucks from now on. strongarm admins into giving you server ownership ((he who controls the unwillingly-bucks, controls the server))

what was the most or least enjoyable CRP/pvp encounter you've ever had?

Yo! I'm glad both of you enjoyed those fights, those where probably some of my favorite encounters to be in, @SimplySeoand @lemonke
My favorite CRP conflict, that I can think of, has to either be the Battle of Serheim. Where my then former king, pretty much helped act as a body shield/medic for the Varg. Either that, or the conflict in the Kingswood; where I pretty much just skulked the woods and fought Templar. Both where pretty close ties, but fun all the same.
As for the worst encounters, none really come to mind, but I know I had a few bad experiences. I remember one slightly bothersome, though still had some funny rp now that I look back on it, was when a group of thieves blamed my character for stealing something they where attempting to heist. Which ended up becoming a PVP duel.

@UnusualBritWhy does it have to? The question wasn't about the community, it was about the least enjoyable CRP encounter I've had.

without naming names, what are some aspects of nation/settlement communities that either draw you in or push you away? what kind of things do you like to see and engage with, or what makes them undesirable to play in?

Communities that have a well thought out culture and environment from a story perspective. I’ve been in some environments that made Sutica look like like Haelunor and they pretty much only run on ooc.
ICly driven communities that are comfortable in gracefully taking Ls for the sake of narrative. Seeing people either ignore ic issues oocly or attempt to dodge consequences that are already being enforced gives me the ick.
A healthy OOC environment backing the community is without trying to go for each others throats. If I wanted a high school environment I’d go to SRP.
The RP needs to be of sustenance at least some of the time. I’m okay with slice of life occasionally but often just sitting in a tavern kills a community. This extends to communities where player couples just sit in their houses all day. Go out, meet people, stir stuff up if you want to.
People who aren’t afraid to initiate rp with someone they don’t know can generate some of the best rp around.
People who ooc throw hissy fits over Ic happenings they don’t like and over share with other people mostly in the form of shit talking or yapping are the source of so many community headaches. This is why the spook community won’t rp with you.
A community should offer multiple avenues for a character to go down and be rp-centric. PVP is no longer central to LOTC and is p much only used for large scale conflicts now or for tournaments. (Left clicking in moderation is fine but when it becomes the main focus of your community you might want to join a factions server.)

normalize not going to city events like banquets or balls and doing whisper RP the entire time

character design can be an integral factor to storytelling. what are some factors of your character's appearance that relate to symbolism, themes, motifs, or an underlying message?

I used the theme of moths around my Moliana character a lot due to how selfish and ambitious she was, driven to pursue her desires even if it was extremely unhealthy and detrimental for her. Since I wanted her to be a gothic character, I pursued a tragic story fitting to a lot of gothic literature that I studied in high school.
For Ilaria, there is association with the sea and her philosophy with Shorewalking. Haunted oceans have always been an interesting concept to me, deep sea horrors are rather ethereal and mysterious despite it all being from our own world. It's a great reference to the unknown and considering different viewpoints and perspectives to look at our own world, which Ilaria often preaches for people to do with existence and the influence of aengudaemons. Given she was born seeing ghosts and teeters on the line of living and dead energies, I feel like I've done a good job in RPing her as ethereal and kooky without out right saying it (given other people have described her as those things often)
Ilaria's visual design is actually something I'm really happy with since it's taken a while to figure out, but now it just feels right :D perfect mix of ethereal elf and gothic, unsociable creature
Rezalisa is still a wip for me in establishing strong symbolism, I've only just recently figured out her visual design and feel happy/confident with it

With Deia's initial design, which is still pretty accurate to her current, I went for specific shapes and a silhouette that would make her unique and recognizable at a glance in art. A lot of the motifs that I keep for her are based on various iterations of Snow White, relating back to her heritage and her place in the world mentally (sort of a dark fairytale simplification, that is) with a sort of intentional naivete. In a lot of my drawings, even if it doesn't necessarily fit the style, I'll add things like vertical lines for blush that give a storybook aesthetic. Rosy cheeks lower on the face, wider hoop-like skirts, a rounded hairstyle and a bow on the top of her head are my checklist, and I find that she gives off a very different vibe if even one of those things is missing.

what are some quirks, fun facts, or other things your character has/can do that you never get to share or emote in rp?

For over 2 years I've roleplayed my Snow Elf as being an exceptional swimmer and fishing extraordinaire who is working on owning a fish and tackle shop, but I think I've only ever roleplayed anything related to that with someone else around twice this map.
I just wanna own a fishing ship on a coast, then a location in a coastal city where I can rp loading the fish from the ship onto a barge, then barge barrels of fish up a river to my fish and tackle shop which is conveniently posted up on said river.

Magic shouldn't mold the character - the character should mold the magic
I believe a lot of the current mindset that you have to play a Dark or Divine Magic in a particular way is dumb, and instead of forcing it to one particular culture. It should instead allow anyone to expand and do something different. You should be able to see the Constantine type Warlock, just as you should be able to see the Evil Paladin(not saying they don't exist, but such routes seem to often be frowned upon)

just a reminder that drivewriter exists for all you people who like writing minecraft books. surprised at how many people don't know about this. it pastes content from google docs into your minecraft book so you don't need to do it sentence by sentence or be afk kicked while writing in a book

2 hours ago, Unwillingly said:
firsthand encounter. raiders just attacking the middle of our city square, crowding around our rally bell, and calling CRP lock even when our available currently online players went to go rally ppl for help
I've had this happen a few times in the past. I'm sorry you had to go through that
Fingers crossed we can steer clear of things like this going forward -
