For realz this time. I don't like the way I'm treated here AT ALL so I'm headed back to the server I originally came from since they fixed their **** as well as unbanned me, and also LOTC is taking too much of my time I should be spending getting better at Overwatch.

((Get hit? No they haven't. The whole point of this post was because the antag HAD to avoid the dominion because their leadership werent in agreement with what aesop wanted to do for the event, aesop didnt want to wait weeks or months and so he moved to the next targets. All of this irp might seem strange especially since to the characters, they are unaware of this whole ooc deal))

Ah okay, sorry I’m falling asleep.

The poster would be put back up just a few hours later. ((I'm not really sure where he is that'd be nice if you could specify))

A note is left on boards within the walls of canonist cities, but also in the dwarven and uruk towns scattered.

 

"The deceitful sons of Malin will have us all believe that they want the September prince to be killed, yet their city still lays safe.. Is it not a bit strange that the prince decided to attack ol Krugmar and then Kadarsi even though the dominion settlements were right next to his reach? I tell you sons and daughters in GOD, these pagans have made a pact with this foul evil and have sold us all out for their safety. They are probably planning to turn on us all when we shall be weakened by the daemon offspring. This is one of the biggest conspiracy we have seen as of yet!"

Nathan shakes his head and rips the poster off the board. “The insensitivity of the ignorant knows no bounds...I was there, I saw the wounded, the nearly dead...the Casualties. The Dominion wasn’t unscathed, and as always instead of uniting we turn blade on one another.

when does it end.” He tosses the poster to the ground behind him and continues walking on.

We been tryina do that for ages but it has been taking way too long.

Which probs means the raiding system isn’t gonna get anywhere either

RIP ?

thing is even if you restrict vassalization to warclaim, there is no way to do that. The cb system is so tilted for carebears that unless you deliberately make yourself an ahole and constantly harass everyone, you will never get warclaimed. There is no way to be aggressive or force vassalize countries without farming CBs for weeks or months.

Isn’t the Warclaim system also notorious for having problems? Why not also fix the WC system? 

Awe cute little people ?

can you give an example?

Before you start the raid you say, for example, “5000 minas or we raid!” If the condition isn’t met the raid can proceed.

As I stated in another thread I believe that a sort of condition that the defending party can meet can end the raid.

this gives raids potential political purpose.  

I believe that Nations should be allowed to meet some condition, predetermined by the raiding party, to end or stop a raid. 

Ex. The Raiders declare you must hand over minas(to a max of a certain amount), Hand over a person, or some other condition. However forcing someone to vassalize via a raid should not nor never be allowed. This should be saved for warclaims.

Character Name: Edward Solidor

 

Character Age(This MAY NOT pass 40): 23

 

Character Personality: A naturally very curious individual, he is generally well kept, well mannered, and quite at times. He often finds himself lost in thought or a new idea. Most would notice his biggest flaw would be that fact that he keeps his personal life well guarded, often to the extent that he can sometimes snap quite aggressively to those around him when the "Pot boils over", so to speak. Overall though Edward is often considered the quite friendly type more then the shouty aggressive one.

 

Character Backstory(AFTER the Oren Era): Born and raised after the fall of the Oren Empire, Edward's live was uneventful for the most part. Born to peasant parents, he lived his live on the land, helping to raise and rear the cattle, and harvest the crops before the winter seasons. His was always the curious sort though, to the dismay of his parents. Often wandering off in the woods or the neighboring fields to glimpse what laid beyond his small world, often staring at the distant mountains and the vast stars, always wondering what it would be like there, what secrets they may hold. As he grew older, he decided to leave his home, joining a trading vessel in the hopes of seeing distant lands and people. Stuck in a ship with endless amount of time, he began tinkering with what was around him, thinking of ways to improve already existing things and creating new ones. His curious nature never ceasing and thus always keeping him on an adventure, maybe not of the physical sort, but of the mental sort. Eventually he would find himself one the mainland once more...hearing of a house that shared a common name...

 

On a scale of one to ten, about how good is your Roleplay?: I'd say and average of 7, though you ask may change it seeing as "Good" is a very subjective term. But with me being apart of this server since Aegis I feel I have a great grasp on RP

 

What is your biggest strength as a Roleplayer?: I feel I can bring vibrant and descriptive Rp at times, having played many roles over the years from bandist/mass murders to Traders and commoners, as well as capable of applying the background of who Im playing into the situation.

 

What is your greatest weakness as a Roleplayer?: Definitely combat, Id say I can be sometimes just below average with it, just an aspect of RP I never quite got good at making consistent. I can do it absolutley fantastic one interaction and be complete **** at another. But I will say I am improving and constantly improving with it

Character Name: Klaus Solidor
Character Age(This MAY NOT pass 40): 17
Character Personality: Is naturally a very curious person. He is often calm and passive, but hides an arrogant side that often rears when stressed. He is very trusting as a person, and will often put trust in people he's never met before, which can be considered his weakness.
Character Backstory(AFTER the Oren Era):  Klaus was born much after the fall of Oren. He grew up in the Haense and lived a relatively middle class life. His father supported the family as a travelling merchant, which left most of his upbringing to his mother. As the only parent and close family member, Klaus bonded very strongly with his mother. Growing up, he had a natural inclination towards books on alchemy and other scholarly pursuits that his father brought him while visiting home. (obviously much of this can change as I'm not very familiar with the families history.)

On a scale of one to ten, about how good is your Roleplay?: With 5 being average, I'd say between a 6 or 7.

What is your biggest strength as a Roleplayer? I believe I have a good ability in applying the personality and background of my character to how he should react to a situation. For example, reacting in fear to a bandit Uruk while playing as some commoner without a hint of combat experience, or responding aggressively to an insult as a confidently insecure character.

What is your greatest weakness as a Roleplayer? Combat. I'm not very demanding when it comes to combat rp as I fear metagaming. Although, I think this family suits me well, as it focuses on scholarly arts rather than fighting.

I did say backstory AFTER the Orenian Era Of House Solidor, but providing that you know and correct this I’ll accept this on trial. I do like the concept behind the Character.

Character Personality: A rather poised and well-kept individual. She tends to come across rather snobby or even mean to those she deems unworthy of her presence but has shown to be a polar opposite around those she respects and cares for. Her interests include finner arts and fashion.
Character Backstory(AFTER the Oren Era): She followed her family wherever they went. Whoever her parents end up being on the family tree I'd be willing to adjust a backstory to cater. I purposely am playing her young so that she has plenty of room for backstory adjusting and future molding. 

On a scale of one to ten, about how good is your Roleplay? a solid 2 lmao

What is your biggest strength as a Roleplayer? I'd like to think I'm good at creating good stories

What is your greatest weakness as a Roleplayer? I'm not a fan of snakey behavior OOCly leading to dirty actions being made to me ICly - and I tend to handle that poorly. 

This one I’d normally deny - Except you were honest about shaky Roleplay ability, and because acknowledgement of ones flaws leads to improvement I’m going to accept this on trial and work with you on getting better. 

HOUSE SOLIDOR

House Backstory

House Solidor originated from the Orenian Empire, where they were a Wealthy family known for being tinkerers, alchemists, and scholars. However, one night, a few decades ago, the head of house Alexander Solidor was found dead. A dagger found at the scene was found to have belonged to the son of Alexander, Nathan. With that discovery, it was also found a large part of the younger generation of House Solidor had been in on the plot. They had justified it saying their father was an evil man, a tyrant in fact, but regardless, they fled Oren and scattered to the seven winds, never to be heard of again. Those who couldn't flee were wiped out, including all of House Solidor's older generations.
Fast forward a few decades, and one day, while travelling, a pair of the remaining family, one of them being Nathan, met in a Tavern once again. Nathan was suffering from Mental Aftershock after all these years, but together, the pair decided to reunite and reform the house.
Within months, a new Manor was constructed near Halsworthy, and the steel-blue emblem of House Solidor flew through the air once more. House Solidor now works to rebuild its namesake after all these years of being absent from the world. They have a chance now for a fresh start, and there is no telling where this new chance will take them.

House Information and Facts

Old House Motto(Orenian Era): Ab Uno Disce Omnes(From one, learn all)

New House Motto(Current Era): Ad Astra per Aspera(To the stars through difficulties) 

House Race: Humans

House Culture: Orenian Heartlander

House Animal: Grey Fox

Physical House Traits: House Solidor members tend to be of average height for a Heartlander Human. In addition, they tend to have Brown, or sometimes Blonde hair, and Blue or Green eyes. They tend to be of average build as well, being scholars rather then Warriors.

Women tend to have long, straight hair in addition to the above. 

Mental House Traits: House Solidor members tend to be gifted with far higher then average intelligence. Otherwise they are a bit of a mental mixed bag, though most stick to more scholar pursuits. A few also become battle Tacticians and other intelligent battlefield roles.

Benefits of being a part of House Solidor, Recruitment

House Solidor Family members get instant access to the Family Roleplay, which takes place daily. This includes House Meetings multiple times a week to discuss various issues, a Family Dinner every single day(unless Nathan is unable to be played), and various other activities that come with being a House Solidor member. In addition to the constant stream of Family Roleplay, the family often hosts events, from small parties for the affluent to full-out Festivals on their land. Family members will also usually get a room in the Manor. The Family also employs servants, which cook for the Family as well as assist us with running our events. Servants also are involved in the Family Roleplay more often then not, just from a different standpoint.
House Solidor also runs the Schutzkraft, or "Protection Force", which started as a Guard Force but has recently been seen patrolling roads for Banditry and brigands, as well as appearing in various places in the world, nowadays acting as more of a small vigilante guild as well as a house guard. (This will be formed soon, be patient, we have to set up a separate thread for this.)

Workers and Common Men, United as one!

The NSHWP is a party in Holm, with one goal in mind: To unite the peoples of holm against the common foes and woes of the people!

Our Political Policies

The Abolition of the complete free market, and the institution of a Privately owned, yet government regulated, economy. The NSHWP believes that a complete free market is greatly detrimental to forming together into a united people, as it is a cause for conflict, classism, And worse yet, abuses of the wealthy. The NSHWP seeks to establish an economy where the Common Peoples still have some power over the markets, as well as our government. We seek to accomplish this by setting production goals, allowing government interference in the Economy, and allowing the government to seize the properties of those who we believe to be enemies of the people, or whom fail to meet their goals in production of gross domestic product.

The union of the peoples of Holm, as one. We wish for the peoples of Holm to come together, regardless of race, creed, or religion. All are welcome in our party, in our wonderful republic, and into our hearts. We wish to accomplish this simply through encouraging pride on ones nation. One Holm, United for all to enjoy and take pride in. We wish to make the title of "Holmite" something that one may wear with pride.

The support of the rights of common workers. We wish for workers of Holm to not only have rights recognized, but to be recognized and commended as the force driving what could someday become the greatest economic superpower to ever grace these lands. We wish to accomplish this by allowing and supporting labor unions and passing labor protection laws, and requirements that employers must treat all workers fairly, with respect, and with benefit. We also wish to establish a minimum wage in specific sectors of the economy based on the amount of labor being performed, and the difficulty of said labor. We also wish to make sure that workers are respected when negotiating terms with an Employer and making resources available to those that wish to challenge unfairness from employers.

The Militarization of Holm. We believe a strong military is the key to protecting the people as well as the wealth of Holm. We believe that without a strong military, anything we attempt to build will fall and crumble. In addition, a larger military force will provide a place of employment for many Holm citizens, and create a demand for arms which will also help bolster Holm's blacksmithing industry.

Describe your knowledge on the descendant races

Each race is unique, and has a curse. Each one descended for a single individual, whom was created by an enigmatic deity only known as "The Creator".
Krug - Orcs

Urguan - Dwarves

Malin - Elves
Horen - Humans
Each of these races, during the first invasion of Iblees, was cursed. Therefore each descendant race has a major negative trait:
Humans - Humans do not live very long.
Elves - Elves are nearly infertile.

Orcs - Orcs are green and ugly

Dwarves - Dwarves have a high amount of greed and are forever short.
There are also SUBRACES to each Descendant species!
For Orcs:
- Uruks

- Goblins
- Ologs
For Elves:
- Wood Elves
- Snow Elves
- High Elves
- Dark Elves
For Dwarves:
- Mountain Dwarves
- Cave Dwarves
- Forest Dwarves
- Dark Dwarves
For Humans:
- Heartlander
- Highlander
- Farfolk

Describe your knowledge on other pieces of lore that you believe to be relevant

Magic Lore and how Magic works is good to have on hand. Lots of new players come in wanting to know how magic works and how they can learn it, therefore knowing magic tiers for the magic forms is important. Most magic forms have five tiers, and all of them look similarly:
1 - Basically barely able to cast

2 - Basic casting ability, after one IRL week

3 - Moderate Casting Ability, After one IRL Month
4 - Advanced Casting Ability, After around three IRL months typically
5 - Complete Mastery. This is usually achieved in a heavy amount of time, multiple months or even a full IRL year.

Basic Magic types will also be important to know, as well as the knowledge that only Deity Magic can provide healing, because a lot of new players want to have healing magic.
I believe it is also important to know Which races typically belong to which nations. Racial nations tend to play a part in backstories, and in addition, you can then guide them to the nation of their choosing in-game.

Detail what drives you to become a member of the application team

I started off by hanging around new players that come out of the CT, and I would help them learn the server, learn roleplaying techniques, and guiding them. I realized the "Tutorialing" as I called it was actually pretty enjoyable then learned that the AT commonly does things like this, and therefore I would like to join the Application team and further my horizons on things I can do to help new players.
I actually enjoy hanging around new players(I know some people don't).
I've also always wanted to have some form of coaching/teaching role. I was going to climb to Platinum/Diamond on Overwatch and become a coach there but I wasn't good enough at the game. The opportunity to teach would be amazing.
In addition, I would also love to help people make excellent characters in their applications. (Characters are a specialty of mine.)

Provide an alternate way to assisting new players apart from reviewing applications

I can guide them both through Roleplay, and OOC means, and teach them how to play and roleplay on LOTC. In addition, I can hold public review and help sessions where I explain some basics of roleplaying, or even go into more advanced stuff. In addition, I can also hold public tutorial "Events"(Something I very recently thought of doing) with the ET's help where we teach CRP. I can also help new players by escorting them to the nations they wish to begin their stories in.

Survey the application process and provide any possible improvements which could be made

First off, I believe people should be required to give examples of rules just to prove they actually read them. I had a friend apply, not really read the rules, then get permabanned for griefing cause he didn't actually read the rules. Its easy to check that little box without actually even looking at the rules thread. As much as I'd love to believe people will just be honest that isn't always the case.

Second off, I believe people should be able to optionally add a Discord name to their app, so this way, the AT can contact people who don't have forums accounts to suggest edits(Assuming Guests can edit based off IP address. If that's not possible, ignore this.)
Lastly, I believe that for people with Forums Accounts, we should suggest optional character edits someone can make as we accept the applications, and explain why the edits should/could be made, so people learn how to best set up a character.

Provide any additional information that you believe is needed

I've been roleplaying now for Nine Years, nearly half of my life, and have a wealth of knowledge I can use to help new players. In addition, since I have the experiences of a veteran player but enjoy hanging out with new players quite a bit, I believe myself to be a good fit for the Application Team.

Tell a joke

Highschool Anime Romance RP
Don't @ me

LOTC Crusaders, inspired by the MANY Overwatch tournaments like the Scrub Cup, Open Division, Contenders, is a concept for an LOTC "Warclaim-Style" tournament.
THE BASICS:

• Tournament will consist of teams of 10.
• Teams of 10 will NOT be affiliated with a nation, therefore this will be a great opportunity to experience the cancer salt Excitement of an LOTC Warclaim without being a part of a nation.
• The prize pool will consist of Minas, not real life currency.
• The Entry fee will be 1000 Minas, which is 100 Minas per team member.
• Warclaim-style means it will be based off of, but not 100% follow, the LOTC Warclaim System.
• Each Match will be a best of three maps: A Siege Battle map, a Field Battle Map, then a randomly selected tiebreaker map if the match is tied 1-1(This one could be either gamemode)
• The Tournament would consist of three rounds:
  • A Round-Robin Group Stage
  • A Single-Elimination Playoffs stage consisting of the winners of each group stage group. If a tie is had, Round Differential will break the tie. In the rare instance that both Round Differential and Record are both tied, a tiebreaker match will be played.
  • The Finals, consisting of the final two teams remaining. The Finals match will be a best of five(The Order will be Siege, Field, Siege, Field, Random).
• ALL MATCHES WILL BE CASTED. (We will need casters!)

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NORMAL WARCLAIMS

• On Siege Rounds, teams will take turns attacking then defending. Teams will continue taking turns attacking and defending until one team is successful, while the other fails to be.
• Each Sub-Round to Siege Rounds will only last 10 minutes max, but the maps will be designed to move quicker.
• You will be provided with gear: One set of iron armor, one Iron sword, one bow, 32 arrows, 3 splash healing potions, and 1 lingering regeneration potion.
• Field Rounds will be best of three subrounds.

This is still WIP, if there's enough interest I'll write a full rulebook.

Just kidding, good to see that one player banned, but what about all the other players ERPing on Discord with underage players?
I understand its a grey area, but I have one statement on why I think it should be enforced: Discord doesn't ban these dipshits themselves half the time at least, if at all. It'll be up to the LOTC admins to do the right thing.

Ban History 

I was only banned once for one week because I made a comment about a certain member of the server having sexual relations with a dog. This was a weeklong ban and its been a while since the ban happened. I don't remember exactly when it happened, just that I took an extended break after it happened. I do recognize how immature that move was, and I'm sorry to the person the comment was directed at.

Why should we accept you onto the Team?

My ideas are almost rapid-fire, and I have the extremely unique ability to improvise on the spot. I can even improvise entire events on the spot.

What kind of events do you aspire to create?:

Quests and Dungeons are a favorite of mine. Pure RP events are also a favorite, aka events that are almost purely RP oriented. Fantasy Events are a lot of fun too, I would love to hook up with the Lore team and make custom lore-based events.

What makes a good event? 

On the ET's side: Music. Good music gets the imagination moving,
On the Player's side: Lots of opportunity for Roleplay, and choice. Forcing players to move along a set storyline is foolish, and giving them choices and allowing a player to influence the world around them makes them feel important and like they matter.

Create three in-depth event scenarios. I’m not looking for some prelude or whimsical idea here -- we want an indicator as to your talent and potential to be on the ET. You don’t need to write a word-for-word script, but we want a solid structure and plan as to how you’d organize and carry out an event:

(Made this one cause I know the dominion best, I spent most of my time there until recently.)
While scouting, a member of the Dominion's guard finds a tree, entirely covered in black. Said Guard will be either an ET Actor, or a player that volunteers to help me.
The Guard member will report back to the Dominion, shouting for his commander or another person of power, potentially attracting the attention of other players. As this happens, a loud crack would be heard from the front of the Dominion's capital.
The Guard ushers all event participants to the tree, where it has spread already.
There they would hear a threatening voice say "You should not have come," see someone in a hood behind them. At this point, a number of dark creatures would arise. A PvE battle would begin for the moment.
During the battle, a large cavernous whole would open up in the tree.
Here we would encounter a long dungeon. I would use roll messages here to create obstacles(Ex. Roll for 20 to cross a ledge, if the role is 17+ you fall and break your leg below) for the participants.
There would be at least one CRP-based miniboss, likely a corrupted golem in a central chamber, followed by more dungeon crawling.
Entering the final room of the corrupted cavern, you would encounter the hooded figure at last: A Draoi, who's been isolated so long he's clearly been driven insane. At this point its either defeat or the dominion dies, and a CRP Battle will commence, requiring the players to team up to defeat him, use good CRP strategies, and cooperate. For example, players may have to save each other from crushing vine attacks, work to keep rangers safe, or however they decide to approach it. I'll just suggest this with an OOC message in the local event chat saying "TIP: Cooperation will help greatly in this battle: Work together!"

 After the battle the corruption ceases spreading and can be eliminated.
