@RilathIve been your number 1 supporter from the start RILATH IS MOD ADMIN

none of these issues are exclusive to LOTC, you'll find these behaviors on every corner of the internet. people often say, or act like, lotc is the only place on the internet that contains these types of people, when it's far from it, and I think it's important for us to realize that fact but you're absolutely right that, in many instances, these behaviors tend to be dismissed by upper administration. you see people who regurgitate this shitty opinion of "you're a snowflake if you got offended by a stranger on the internet" as a way to excuse shitty behavior deciding what someone else is/isn't allowed to feel impacted by is disgusting, yet something I've seen echoed whenever these issues are spoken about

welcome back! if you're ever looking for some RP I'm always down for an interaction :) my discord is un-w#9099

definitely really pleased to see these small QOL improvements. they aren't game-changers, but not every update needs to be looking forward to future updates!

wait till u hear about timezones

im all for a full AH removal if an easier route for block gathering is made since blocks/building resources currently are sold in abundance on the AH. I've been on this tangent before but "immersion" shouldn't be hamfisted into building/resource gathering, which I fear is something that could happen with some of these changes

I wrote this hastily so forgive me :') Favourite book or author? The Song of Achilles The first book you read, or the first one you remember reading? Varjak Outlaw Claw -- 3rd grade. It's about cats, as you can guess, but I oddly never got too invested in the Warriors series Books you want to read but haven’t got around to? The Hunger Games, believe it or not Maurice (I've only watched the film) All of Us Villains List some others you have read and talk about them: Night World: Dark Angel is one of my favorites. The story follows a girl (Gillian) who, after experiencing near-death, gains the protection of a mysterious guardian angel. I've read this one about three times now! The Unwind Dystology: A futuristic, dystopian setting where the subject of abortion has reached a compromise, a process called "Unwinding" which surgically rebuilds "troubled kids" into a new person. The story follows protagonist Connor Lassiter and his pursuit of escaping his Unwinding -- there are four books! The Gone Series: A mysterious event has left a school of teenagers confused and shocked after discovering they've each developed supernatural powers and abilities. Engaging story with characters that actually feel and act like teenagers. Song of Achilles: By far has the most beautiful writing. A retelling of the story of Patroclus and Achilles.

not often people ask to be cursed, i respect it though

can you clarify it a little bit more i'm not sure what you mean

Welcome back :) if you're ever looking for some roleplay, feel free to reach out at un-w#9099. I'd be more than happy to RP with you!!

no because the entire "they took too long to reply!!!1" thing is just you strawgrasping and looking for a reason to look victimized. who cares if they took more than 12 hours to respond? "you should've replied faster instead of leaving everyone to freak tf out while they waited" as if you were having a panic attack because you cared so much about an online player's ban from a minecraft game "they should've had a pre-typed response!!1" is also extremely silly as well and I shouldn't even need to explain why this goes for everyone else who is complaining about how long a response took btw

stop acting like you got shot because you didn't see a response quick enough

Castiel offered a quick scan of the letter, soon throwing himself towards his wardrobe in search of appropriate attire!

hope life treats you well

LOTC is a server that seems like it's overwhelmingly filled with negativity, pessimism, and cynicism. If you've been playing the server for more than a month, it's very likely you've been exposed to some of the server's many blemishes and flaws, whether you've experienced them first hand, browse the forums, or heard about a friend's experience. Staff critique, the annual "admin scandal," whistleblowing, etc. are all common-place to many established players. Although it's very true that LOTC is a server prone to these sorts of detriments, this thread is in no way intended to devalue nor deflect from them. Instead, I'd like for this thread to allow players the opportunity to shine some light on the server amid what feels like the drag of incessant loathing and animosity. I don't care what you talk about, only that it avoids the drag of pessimism. I'll start: I've been playing LOTC for roughly 6 years. Before I joined in Vailor, I had spent much of my time on cheap creative-plot servers doing what I believed to be "peak roleplay." So of course, by the time I joined LOTC, I was both immature and had little to no grasp on actual roleplay in a moderated, restricted environment with other grounded roleplayers. Needless to say, I was a pain in the ass. If it wasn't for the people who put up with me, I very likely I would have quit a long time ago. Some of you may remember that, when I was 14, I became the NL of Sutica in Atlas. Largely guided by players such as @Keefy @SaviourMeme and @SeventhCircle, I admittedly believe those 8 months were the catalyst of my anti-nation sentiment, but that's a conversation for another day. Although it certainly came with its own pressure and frustration, I'm still a firm believer that it was the greatest learning experience I could've been offered on the server, but it's simultaneously something I never want to do again. Flash forward to Almaris. Some time in April of 2021, I had the pleasure of meeting a new player by the name of Bunny/Fang. We very quickly became friends, and I had decided to play a snow elf (which I still currently play!) alongside them. We managed to create a tightly knit bloodline involving players such as @Epistile@Synasthima @_Leyd@MunaZaldrizoti and others, which cultivated some of the most enjoyable, narrative-driven RP I've had on the server in the last few years at that point. The RP I partook in helped me improve both my writing and creativity, and I could not be more thankful. Now, I spend my time largely pursuing player-interaction narratives and storylines from Port Avluk on the coast of Eastfleet, alongside players such as @BobBox@Frott and @Kuila, and had the pleasure of attending one of @Kujo's events in Acre yesterday, alongside the others who attended. To me, the beauty of our LOTC lies in its player interaction and the ability to pursue virtually any character dynamic, narrative, or storyline you can think of. The beauty lies in the player ability to learn from those around you in both attitude, writing, and story, on top of a decades worth of OOC and RP history. If you spend your time around those who value the spirit of RP and cooperation, you yourself will drastically improve. Surround yourself with people who care about how they interact with others on the server, not people who go out of their way to disrupt and impede. With that out of the way, here's a list of prompts you can answer if you're struggling to find the words, alongside anything else you'd like to talk about: What's your favorite niche of RP? Who is someone you admire or look up to on LOTC, whether or not they play anymore? What's your most memorable RP encounter? What's your favorite place to RP at? Why do you enjoy the current community you play in? How has LOTC grown and developed since you first started playing? And last but not least, Why do you play LOTC?

Absolutely love your writing :)

[!] Parchments are seen throughout Almaris, plastered to trees, walls, and notice boards alike. You’ve found the parchment, and you’ve read thus far I allude to a common prose, one hardly bizarre You understand now, you ought to sit Now comes the challenge: prove your wit I find myself deafened, obscured by vice Never to hear heavenly choir, not even for a price Here I stand, in the vestige of day Blinded by viscera and grime going every which way Words ensnared by sin and eternal damnation, No longer salvageable by mere liberation My riddle is rather simple Devoid of obscure content and symbols Should you discover my intent, should you find yourself content Bring yourself to the coast of once-blight, that is where you will present

absolutely abysmal when will people, mods especially, realize that just because roleplay follows after OOC plotting, does not make it legitimate? in what world does that constitute as "legit RP" after you spend hours in a GC and DMs fleshing out every corner if your plan before going "ok hop on and we can do the rp rq" we've seen this happen before and we're seeing it happen again
