The extermination of elves and mages by milkman

One shower thought is have we considered the fact that having such an expensive and difficult barrier for pvp equipment means that groups dedicated to raiding and whatnot are going to be able to pack out gear where most common players are not? Meaning many players will be completely unprotected when raids come around.

The temptation to adopt and grow my bloodline you could become an aristocrat in SCUM (Society of Common and Unified Mali)
-
Along the streets of Talar'nor, a proposal or better described as invitation is put up through posters amongst several street walls and noticeboards. All of which invite those of the elitist variety, those who aspire to aristocracy and class to assist in the beginning of a new standing guild within the city walls. The Society of Common and Unified Mali The time for the Aristocracy to rise is now. Talar'nor needs a cultured community of people to guide etiquette and enhance the city's dwindling spark. With the forwarding of the Common and Unified Mali, a society of people shall form to bring prosperity and a proper sense of being to the denizens of this nation. The starting structure for this guild's code of conduct are as follows: i. Carry oneself with a high sense of being, one must be concise and literate with a proper sense of class and culture. Hold yourself with fine morals that line well with the codes of Talar'nor society. ii. Be irrefutable to the public. One's status should not be questioned or easily shattered, do not allow your position in the guild to become a topic of debate. iii. Be reputable, one must hold a craft or talent and wield it as well as ink and paper. Let known your ability and wield it to heighten the society. The society's activities would include typical assemblies, where topics of the world are brought into question, be it war or people of interest. Typically entertainment will be provided, betting on combats or races, or travels to other communities are all favoured activities for this guild. Recruitment will open simply as those keen on interested, once a selection of individuals who pen their names upon this notice are chosen and reviewed then further aspirants may be permitted to join upon accepting and achieving a challenge or goal set by communal decision of those already present within. If you find yourself with piqued interests in joining this guild, please pen your name below.

As someone whose recently been trying to reimplement myself in the community - life had made me take quite the hiatus, I am finding it a slow but alright time rejoining, what I do wish is there was more stuff going on in the world, there are many landmarks and usable features but I just wish it was littered with a few more ruins, more ancient history and things people can adventure and talk about. RP is good and great, probably better than it has been for me though I do just sometimes enjoy running around looking at stuff, back on Axios I was constantly adventuring to just find used and abused event sites and other features, it let my mind wander and let me relax and was really enjoyable. That's something I want to see on this new map - a chance to just switch off if I'm not in the mood to rp and see the creations of others and the stories they wish to tell with it.

If I walked down the street and saw someone who was green, I would probably believe I walked into a live action casting for shrek. 'Coal people' and 'darkie' are beating around the bush of real life slurs and phrases just much less explicit. You play in a game where many phrases are much easier and more accessible to you however you chose to take the ones that were closest to real life counterparts. "Knife ears" are an example of a fantasy insult to connote distaste towards elven people, In Skyrim for example they use the "Grey Quarter" for the area where dark elves are kept, this is an excellent example of "Hey, we have real life racial issues where using skin colours is a word of hostility to black communities, let's make sure to evade this issue by using the word 'grey' instead of 'black' or 'darkie' quarter." Furthermore, stating that the community is blinded by racism is a bit of an overstatement, apologies if I said you were racist, I was just taking a quick-fire straight approach, I don't believe you are racist in any capacity and the words used were just used in a quick minded way to denote a distaste to the elves, that being said they could have been used as a way to evade using real life racial slurs to denote black people, if used to just be silly and childish and as a joke or anything else, I simply just suggest caution I do believe this server has a very wide community of people, many on here may use it as a lil escapism from real life issues, I mean Paris had two nights of riots as Nahel was shot down by a cop, racial issues are still present in the world and LotC is a good escape for those players, having random people approach them and tiptoe the border with fantasy slurs is probably not the most fun experience tl;dr it's tiptoeing a border into irl slurs when you had a dictionary of alternatives welcome for you to use, all of which avoid this line and although I don't think you overstepped it, you sure as hell put your foot directly on it

imo using stuff like 'darkie' or 'coal people' is just trying to find a sneaky loophole into inserting a hard r in a way

what do you think of the current Cloud Temple soulstone system?
JustMeMorgan replied to frankdh's topic in Debate
Yah that was a rule before, though the issue is now if someone pillars to say midlands 2 which is the closest pillar to x and y, one of them may be significantly closer and therefore has less prep time Running from a pillar to Nora'sath compared to from a pillar to Adria for instance is a significant time difference I do like pillars with travel, but I feel like they should be adjusted now to make it sorta fair for all nations to have a fairly equal distance between, one way to do this could just be getting a minimap, putting a waypoint on the cities that the original pillar was going to and finding a more equal distance between -
what do you think of the current Cloud Temple soulstone system?
JustMeMorgan replied to frankdh's topic in Debate
as long as it's not axios' caravan/boat hell I do not mind I enjoy the new system though my one comment is it may have issues when PVP returns Some cities have been shafted in being too far or in some cases too close to pillars, i.e. it could take 10 minutes to get your raid crew from a pillar to Nor'asath, whereas raiding Adria it's only like a 2 minute run, one nation gets a lot more prep time compared to the other, or for the attacker they don't have any element of surprise and the opposing force can meta rally quickly -

Should magics have verbal requirements for spells?
JustMeMorgan replied to Markisstreaming's topic in Miscellany
Did you read my status post??? mr Markis (They don't btw, you can literally just sit silently and look at a place and bam you could cast a T5 ice spike into someone's cranium) My only thing to consider abt what you said Meteor, is I'm guessing we both already add tonnes of flavour into our spells, movements, incantations, etc. But a lot of other mages out there would much rather sit in a corner and just emote the spell happening, nothing about their character and what they're doing. On top of that having requirements means it gives us some limitations rather than just 'oh if you can see you can cast' it also adds other requirements -+- Beneath is an example piece of lore I just cooked up to describe how Incantations and Circle spells may be used and implemented -
Make sword swings require set manoeuvres and moves you have to use that take their own emote times like evocation magic so even sword fighting cannot be free form
-
What are ppls thoughts on a piece of lore that changes how magic is cast n used, this is just a shower thought I had but rather than just requiring line of sight how would people feel about an alternative optional system that requires rituals / somatic and vocal elements
mages rather than being able to sit silently n cast have to do flavourful gestures and incantations, or perhaps have to stay in the same place to draw out their spell, maybe it could be an alternative form of focus too in that the mage can get back to their spell if they lose focus at the same stage where they left it
(example being mage is drawing their ritual on the ground around them but knocked away, they manage to get back and finish drawing whatever was needed and bAM the spell is fulfilled)

It wouldn't be new ones!
My idea would sorta be like a feat or overhaul, (feat making it optional but irreversible, i.e. you either use the new system or just cast where you can see, you can't flick between them)the idea would be, right now you can sit in a chair and as long as you have Line of Sight (LoS) you can just cast, only needing to do a tell
the feat/overhaul would be rather than just LoS, you have to do verbal+somatic elements, or do some sort of ritual to cast it, maybe the option to do one or the other depending on your situation
I.e. the new system, you can't just sit in a chair you'd have to be doing a verbal and loud incantation, as well as moving your hands or body to fulfil the spell, or if you're out in the open you would draw some sort of ritual around yourself
It'd also mean that maybe connection operates differently, maybe rather than just losing your entire spell if you fulfil the incantation or ritual (say drawing this circle with runes, or fulfilling a set of phrases and gestures) the spell can still be finished
It'd also mean that people would have different methods they'd have to use to break your connection, which could spice up rp rather than just pocket sand, such as getting you away from your ritual spot, or stopping you from talking / restraining your hands to keep you occupied - which to note, right now you could still technically cast a spell from behind a shield as long as you could see over/around it

Why do some nations have 600 acres of farmland who you growing food for??
- Show previous comments 2 more

it's not weird to have farms the size of cities. it's weird to NOT have farms the size of cities outside. realistically speaking, most of Aevos should be farmland in order to support the population since a city cannot be fed by fields smaller than itself (especially not with medieval era farm technology (no synthetic fertilizers))

[✗] [World Lore] Ruibrium - Mage's Narcotic
JustMeMorgan replied to JustMeMorgan's topic in Denied Lore
I'm checking out magegold now and it does look like an awesome comparison to what I'm trying to convey, I'll probably use some of it's detailing to help build up this lore too (mostly for redlines and whatnot) so thank you for drawing the comparison! Redlines also updated to further prevent use in combat or preparing to attack someone! -
[✗] [World Lore] Ruibrium - Mage's Narcotic
JustMeMorgan replied to JustMeMorgan's topic in Denied Lore
(making pasta in a mo' so will reply n update later) I agree with the latter paragraph and closing sentence, I'll probably update it to not really require ST oversight, mostly was just me still in an older player mindset on stuff, I'll also try being a bit more definitive and unique compared to cactus green, one reason I like the idea of a non-cactus green narcotic is because cactus green is very typical and thematic towards orcs, having other options that do similar things allows for more diversity, though I will be making it a bit more unique overall. In times of the first para though, as someone whose been a player whose both attempted and seen attempts at forming headcanons that go against the lore narrative they always tend to fizzle out. I don't really want to write up this big cosmic idea of this crystal being a shard of xyz deity of debauchery, having come down in spiritual shards to be consumed by the descendants, a final piece before the aengul fizzled out bla bla bladdy bla I want to inspire people to have ideas and not feel persecuted or reluctant to share or create those ideas because they don't fit in with the forum page narrative of the lore. Think of this as at least a harmless experiment, testing if leaving things as an harmless open narrative is both appreciated and approved by the community, rather than having to lock it into the same 'must require a direct cause and effect explained, with diagrams included' piece of lore. i guess what I’m tryna say is I just want to make some lore that doesn’t have to be tied down in a pretty bow, just have something that I know I’ll have fun with and many other people can also freely enjoy without persecution or resistance in what they want to do with it -

JustMeMorgan replied to JustMeMorgan's topic in Denied Lore
Although I agree clarity is nice to have, I find that if I establish here and now a clear definitive reason why the crystals work the way they do then it stops any player from being able to discuss or argue their own ideas and reasons. I'll sorta use an analogy (putting in spoiler because it's a lot of text) I'd much prefer to leave my lore open ended, dangerous is not really how I'd describe it. I mean it's just some magical dust that makes wizards high but effects non mages differently, if there are cases where it is abused it can easily be amended. I put faith in the community I'm in to not exploit something just there for roleplay and has quirky, funny or unfortunate effects to people in the world. tl;dr I want to create fun lore with a wide possible applications in rp, from doing lines with your mage buddies, tripping balls within your noble house because you found your father's stash, maybe you're just curious of what it really is and you write a lore post talking about how you found some and what it's like, and maybe a theory you sketch up that people take a liking to. p.s. it's also why I didn't put a stupid list of side affects, I like the idea of people deciding how it'd affect their character themselves, rather than just picking up from a list, I mean if you take constant shrooms it does affect your psyche, if you live every day inhaling the stuff and you go sober what would happen to your character? it's up to them to decide. -

JustMeMorgan replied to JustMeMorgan's topic in Denied Lore
Orcs using it was merely an example, red flashy crystal looks nice as a weapon. As said it'd be similar to an obsidian weapon, that being a sort of primitive crystalline weapon chipped into shape. An IRL example would be what aztecs have previously used (see below) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecpatl -

JustMeMorgan replied to JustMeMorgan's topic in Denied Lore
Rephrasing what I said a sec ago* I fully encourage the idea that players will develop their own headcanon on why it works the way it does, maybe making RP posts on the matter too. I find LotC has way too many pieces of lore that have a set structure on why things are the way they are, of which the normal player would have no reasonable method of gathering that information, such as knowledge that should by now be completely dead because of time, or knowledge out of our hands that could have only been bestowed to us through literal gods and demons. I appreciate and like the idea that we form our own head canons on things, and well if the general population all accepts it as a good canon maybe it does become officialised over time.
