My fave thing is a lot of the time some groups just ******* outright refuse to involve new people :DDD I remember b4 I took a break I went to haense n some people just outright refused to rp with me, must have been there at least 10 minutes listening to their rp and I just went in to introduce myself and the most ******* aknowledgement I got was "refused the elf's introduction, continuing on"

Same thing has happened to plenty of other cities, lot's of people have their little cliques and as soon as you try to even introduce yourself in it they'll just ignore you and continue to rp without you, either through outright ignoring you or through moving somewhere else. Some groups in this server are just highschool cliques and they need to learn to involve people otherwise it just makes the server feel a little more empty

Toxicity on this server isn't just argghh you (insert slurs here) it's just neglecting other players :)

p.s. love you haense but if I have those wannabe witchers ever pull that move again I'm going to crp them in your tavern

IKR HOW THE **** DID THEY FORMAT THIS

+1 it looks really cool

Within the bustling city of Celia'nor a small notice would go up on the noticeboard

Looking For An Apprentice Child To Call My Own

"My name is Acalmaehr, of a house not named nor started. In my longing to continue a legacy I have realised that a relationship is not what I desire, it is a child I can call my own. I have lived many decades and seen many things. I desire to see in my child a part of myself, even if it is not blood. I want someone who is willing to learn, to live and to explore. I am not looking for someone to teach my secrets of the arcane - though that does not mean I won't"

Requirements for Offspring:

If you fill out the requirements. Please use the charcoal below and put in your initials. Come find me and make your request.

(( OOC ))

Looking for someone to help me essentially kickstart my own bloodline in a way, played for 4 years and never been really involved in any family. I'm not just looking for someone to teach magic although if I think you're an adequate roleplayer I may offer it to you. As long as you're a nice person and we get along / have gotten along I'll be more than happy to accept

Ideally, you want to have a map that could be separated by different 'event biomes' (lavaland, frozen wastes, deep swamps, underground coves etc) which acts as a buffer between different nations

I mean imagine if ya had this massive mountain with a pass in it where you had to have two nations hold their wc, or a small pirate cove event chain formed in between two nations so both of them had some value that they could put into it. The haense ogre giant thing event chain was pretty cool and it could give better irp reason for people to be invested, when the stuff is just a few hundred blocks away from their city and in between another nation's it can allow more rp between two playerbases etc etc etc

tl;dr map size in my eyes doesn't matter, what you need to do is space player nations and areas deliberately designed for events in strategic and reasonably accessed distances.

I've heard many stories of players getting dossed, doxxed or sent disturbing images, and these were done entirely by the people to get their way on what happened with their MC RP mineman character or nation/group. Even with the suggestion of anonymizing details from evidence that could be used for harassment I'd assume the abuser would still have access to it, and I don't think it is exactly hard to get around an IP ban, I think maybe having a listing somewhere that just shows if a player is ToSed or not would be good, most of the time the community finds out about it one way or another. Either way, when it comes to making suggestions to these kinds of situations we have to assume the utter worse could happen, so we can better prevent it and stop it before it spirals further.

You also have to remember the deterrent element of this though. Predators wouldn't enjoy having the fact of what they've done to be disclosed so they should be deterred from doing it, if a player that digusting decides to groom a minor I'd say it's worth the risk of "oh nooo someone found their real name!"

In all serious matters, grooming is a crime, this is universal. What the player had done, if given to authorities can be used to give them a record. I think it's worth the risk of ohhh doxxing time.

You have to realise that I'm talking about predators, people who prey on those too trustful, those too young, the shit these despicable people do can leave mental health issues.

I think if the risk is oh no their details got leaked because player n had that massive of a rage boner, when the person had groomed a literal child.

I'd think it's ******* worth it.

Doxxing, sadly, is not a crime everywhere. Even if it were, it wouldn't help anyone. The people who get banned for grooming are obviously prepared to break laws, as grooming isn't exactly legal either.

I meant that more for the blackmailing part*

And as you said people who are banned for literally being degenerate members of society are breaking laws. Irl when someone is outted as a pedo they end up having to go door-to-door telling everyone they're a sex offender, why the **** does LotC always hide up the fact they have groomers??

Why do we keep this weird veil over the dark side of LotC? Like they're ******* predators why don't we make alerts about the player, tell the playerbase "Hi this is offender x, they were banned for x after reports of (x), logs were validified and it is confirmed that this player has done this actions and therefore has been permanently removed from the server with no appeal for the safety of the community" ?? Why don't we have stuff like this rather than these quiet bans and removals of players where the only reason why it gets out is player-made forum posts or leaks

This is just straight up a bad idea, as it allows the abusers to identify who reported them and who didn't, depending on the severity of the individual who got banned can lead to stuff like doxxing and blackmailing off the server grounds and other horrible shit.

True for the first point but for the second point why does it matter? Any player who has an active enough vendetta can go out of their way to doxx a player, however that is a crime players are not endorsed to go out of their way to do this. As long as staff anonymise any details that could be used for harassment (e.g. phone numbers etc) then there should be no issue.

Secondly I should probably clarify when I say all evidence I mean at least a form of list. if a player is banned from the server for pedophilia chances are they'll be forum banned and IP banned too so it'd be hard to identify who reported it keeping the victim safe.

Flash over to the fact I actively mention to the staff team of a case that was simply dismissed 3 years ago of which the player could have been outright permabanned for pedophilic and predatory behaviour :/

(Cropped the msg to hide the player's name)

One of the reasons I went on my Hiatus is because I was sick of the fact I was ACTIVELY trying to bring attention to someone who literally admitted to the fact they wish that it was allowed to **** Children on the server, had Predatory behaviour towards players, harassed and trolled and caused many issues to the point that when it came around to reporting the first issue (the fact the player literally said they wished it was allowed to **** kids on the server) I had a Swarm of PM's from other players asking to join in as they have all been affected, some on a sexual basis.

If there is Safety, then ******* present it. Release a list of known players who have commit sexual offenses, give clarity. If a player has been banned for Pedophilia make it ******* clear? make a subtopic on permanently banned players and why, if they're a predator make it ******* clear, show all the evidence and make it so the whole playerbase can see the information.

I want to hold security's toes like you hold a hand :)

Space station 13 is a game I'm particularly into right now, other than that I'm often playing D&D or making D&D terrain :)

One such Fenneyr would have his hands clasped around the paper with a sparkle in his eyes, the mali in great anticipation for the event.

In honor of the 10 year anniversary, and because I've been putting it off for so long, I thought it'd be cool to do my very first AMA. I've been on the server for about three and a half years now, and during those years I've met a lot of really cool people. It's because of these people that I've had (for the most part) an enjoyable experience on the server. So thanks to you guys <3 
so uh yeah... ask away I guess!

How long have you played a wood elf and have you ever considered playing a different race that's vastly different (.e.g orc or dwarf)

If this male shows me genuine human affection I'll make it a +2

Honestly the idea of the Aeldin mysteriously vanishing and we coming to a continent full of ruins with hints all over and stuff

that's lowkey interesting

'Home Is Where The Heart Is' 

""

I write in this diary as a keepsake for myself in times to come. Longingly I have waited, through turmoil and pain I have sauntered and I have eventually had it pay off. This city I see has arrived like iron dropped into frozen water, the bubbling masses are lively and I have met faces fresh and old, so old. My heart has ached and wrenched at the thought of never seeing such a people of my ilk again and I am glad that it has finally paid off. 

Truly this is the time of my rise, this is where I will thrive and push forwards, where I will learn and prosper. I will aim to give my all to this city and its people as they have done for me a many time in history forgotten to most. This is where I will reside for my time and it is where I will enjoy my days.

""

With that the Mali'aheral entered the peaceful town, a sigh of relief as he saw his old friends wandering around unaware of his presence. The sigh though turning to a frozen mist, the hairs on his skin standing up as a cold breeze came over the walls and the long nights he had spent to travel to such a place, the mali never felt so alive, so warm and so loved.

He went into the city and acquired a house for himself, just a simply hovel nothing more. One to decorate once again.

((ooc tho I just wanna see a bunch of CA's spark out from nowhere for Musin soldiers)

A mali would chuckle at the missive "Finally a war to enjoy."

A blue eyed mali'aheral of some noticably visage is seen clapping in the crowds after a long and mysterious time away.

"Seems I arrived at a good moment" he'd say to himself with a smile growing across his face.

1. Don't make it require bodies for most spells, morerather use body parts and the like. It's more creative for both players if rather than just having to lolmurder 3 randoms the person has to:
"The hand a close one, the eye of the stranger and a ring for a love lost" - Person has to get the hand of someone they once knew, an eye of someone they have never met and a ring, either made for the ritual or one that they own. This spell could be used to transform one person into an undead creature.

Something like this makes it more creative, previous iterations of necro lore require just goon-killing people for bodies and it made roleplay fun exclusive to one person, there is no furthering or development for the other player. This would change that

2. Keeping the lore dark enough to maintain a thorough aesthetic, but not so far into a grimdark that it a) doesn't fit into the majority of the community and b) that a player can pick up the magic via reading the lore and doesn't need some player telling them secretive information as to avoid cliques forming and stopping the general player from becoming involved:

The server would openly reject lore that's extremely edgy and it would cause a disconnect, especially if the themes of the lore pushed against general server lore (e.g. world ending monsters n stuff in a server where it's not relevant rn). Keeping the lore relevant to the majority of the community keeps it interesting, keeps it relevant and keeps it active.

Keep it dark but not so dark it is just for 3 people to enjoy because they like that rp, have dark thematics but not so gorey and evil grr that it is polarised towards an area. Necro covens shouldn't be too necessary either really, it'll be useful to team up but not vital for the enjoyment of the lore, the local graveyard keeper gone necromancer should still be as enjoyable as the dark cult of (insert dark patrons here)

p.s. stop giving it into the hands of players who are so narcissistic and ignorant could be a good start, have a full clean of shop and refresh it into something new, new map new corpses innit
