How about a few interesting questions from your buddy pal? <3
What is your biggest regret of not doing something on LOTC, like something you could/should have done but never did experience wise that you would have looked forward to?
If you could purchase and sustain one insanely frivolous and outrageous thing, what would it be?
Despite the ups and downs you've had, what is the biggest positive you could say you've had?
I regret not doing better. For my characters they all did what they were made to do: They made stories. I don't have any regrets there.
One of those bed-desks with a monster computer built in.
I, despite the losses of other friends, the biggest positive are the friends that I still do have.2 -

How does grass feel?
Ironically I don't get outside much for reasons.
But not having to worry about clique cluster fucks souring my mood or giving me a headache is a relief. I ruined some friendships cause of this place and one day I'd like to fix em.
Just not on lotc. This place isn't worth it anymore lol, I'll bring the grass into my house to keep myself from slipping if that's what it takes.1 -

Yes, I have been streaming again. My streamer handle has changed to Keefy_The_Shroom. It's been slow cause important irl stuff, but I intend to churn out content both alone and with some friends. :D

How goes your personal projects?
Unfortunately slow but every movement forward is better than nothing or going backwards. I'm trying to get into at least the small streaming scene for something enjoyable to do since I am desk bound and on a game when not taking care of the house. I've been far and above better than I was in the past mentally, which has helped!

Curiousity is strong and so here I am once more
I aint coming back to the server but I'm bored so lets go I guess lol8 -
As with many things, Hareven knew what he felt, and the Grove he established felt this mourning as well, as the great plum tree
he formed himself into to house the people he founded rumbled. And so he would wait.
And in the future where this tree would still in one world, it would arise in the next.
And that small little pale druidess would find her father as he always was and had been.
"I have and always will be, proud of you kiddo. You saved me when you were born."
He simply hopes in the Forest, her bones can stand the sheer huggage that will occur when they meet.

In a future not so far away, eventually a familiar face would appear in the Forest.
Afterwards, far into the future, the Fae would speak of that day as a bearded man and the Lynx would throw such a ruckus from drink that it almost got a Mani drunk.

When I went through and made the plethora of hot-fixes and rewrites to portions which added stuff like Luonto and what not, MS and Klones were added under the position of the Aspects don't care cause the soul isn't directly being changed. With that said though, it also locks you out of accessing parts of druidism once you do this, and you cannot use alternate revival method after I.E. A klone cannot be soul tree'd.
It basically becomes a small game of "Choose your phylactery".4 -

Somewhere
A bird born of wood would find a large seed, and spirit it away next to the sea.
Somewhere
The seed would settle into the earth, and after a time, a man would be born of it.
Somewhere
The man would think long and hard about where he should be.
Somewhere
The man would stare out to the sea.
SOMEWHERE
The man would find family and friends, and grow a great tree. They would carve from it a modest ship to sail the seas.
SOMEWHERE
The man would meet with his brothers, and sail off as if looking for the edge.
SOMEWHERE
The man would meet more people and gather more ships to follow him.
SOMEWHERE
He would come to a stop, upon a very large island never before seen.
The people here, his brother, would help him plant a tree. A tree that would grow to a size those new to him would have never seen. Great plums grew from its branches, and it would give protection from some of the monsters people had seen.
The people he brought with, would listen and soon see. The way he saw the world, and what he sought to seek. One by one over the years they would take to clear waters, and come out with a new way to see. And they'd take their own boats out, to see and help all the damage left behind on the sea.
The island would stay quiet, despite how it seemed, and never sought more than what it needed to continue peaceful means. The nature folk who came to be on it would simply come and go as they'd need, and live as they sought, and when their time was up, be floated out to the sea.
Where the man who watched over the island came from, it was like a wind rolled through. Dust covered furniture, a chill through the tavern. His footprints disappeared, the Tree by the Sea faded away. By no means did he die, but by no means did he stay. From this island he'd set out to continue his work, in a new way.
Hareven Lorenthus was always a strange man, and only grew stranger with time. He made good decisions and bad, he did great things and sometimes blew off his own hands. He lived and would continue to live, but not near the evermoving people he was from.
He decided on a new path, and so. He lives among the sea. And so he stood side by side with his daughter and wife, and sent Vaki out back across it.
A Letter Left Behind
Years soon after Harevens disappearance, the wooden bird would arrive with a letter cluster. Individual names are delivered, and a letter generalized to his people of the Druids is as well.
"I'm not ******* dead. Starting off with a high note. It's been a very long time that I've been a druid, and it's been a very long time since I should have died. But I didn't and I kept on and on. Most of you know me. Some of you have heard of me. I don't like either of these things. We've new generations popping up and idolizing those who came before them rather than looking at themselves and standing up on their own two feet and judging who they want to be, for themselves. So I have left.
I am not coming back.
And yeah I'm tired but we all are. Anyone like me can testify; we are tired souls. But I don't want to die yet, so instead, I have founded a small island, a Grove, and set to doing a new path of work. It'll probably kill me eventually, I'll be honest, but it's better than just laying down and dying. I've assembled people from sparse settlements I've found along my way, and set about heading back in and out of Unseen Lands and lands that might have the stamp of descendant destruction on them, and returning them to nature the best we can. And so if it kills me. Then sure. I did my best. And if it doesn't, and centuries from now people wander up upon this place I've found, I'll see you then. But this is all. And this is it.
I love you all, even the ones I hate, hated, and hate me. And I pray that you do the best you can to be the best you can be, every day."

Liri
Spoiler"I wish I had done more for you and been there for you more than I already was. You saved me. In a time where it was so dark that all I could do was grab hold of the heavy reigns I was handed and move forward, your little white haired mop brought me back, so many times. I will always love you and one day we'll see each other again somehow, and just like always, I'll make you your favorite honey foods, and give you a big hug. Always and forever."
Sonna
Spoiler"You're hurting so deeply inside and I wish I could have helped you heal from it all, but this is what I gotta do kiddo. But you know what to do, and you hold my teachers staff not out of coincidence. That shit isn't real. You hold it cause you can do what is needed with it, cause you are strong, and I expect to hear when I die, the grand tales of the Fox Druid and the balance she wrought to the fuckers who kept taking from her. You are strong. Don't let up."
Damien
Spoiler"You've an utter shit memory sometimes but I will always remember the weird dark elf with my kid on his shoulders, humming along to a violin. Don't be so lonely, you have Rylanor now and you are not alone even when everyone else is gone. You never were. You always had my back and I will always have yours, even when you do utterly stupid shit. Don't scratch up the floors. Don't cry, even though I know you will. Don't be sad. Get a fishing pole and a pipe, and smoke enough for the two of us. I'll see you when the sun stops setting."
Nenar
Spoiler"Forgive me for making that dagger with Taynei, and you ending up with it. I did all that I could for our people and the pain of it all ended up on you. And you've kept losing more and more as a result. I can't give anything back to you that you've lost, but I hope the small trinket I've left behind will help ease your pain. We'll drink and smoke til the sun turns blue next time we meet, without a care for responsibility. You are a wonderful sister, and I'll make sure to throw you and Viene higher into the air."
Valmir
Spoiler"Gods above I wish I were as good with woman as you, and I wish I was as half as clever as well. You took to automatons like a fish to water, and alchemy just the same, and you flourished. I took in rumor before leaving of what you'd been through, and let me tell you, don't let your shit get kicked in too often. Scars'll get you respect but eventually cold winters make them hurt like hell. Don't end up in the Forest before me, or I will absolutely shave you bald kid."
Miven
Spoiler"You got no idea how proud I was when you took Father Circle, and turned it on its side. You got rid of all the rep it used to have, and made something new and good for our people, and then went on to support the 'Ame just as strongly. The Vale is lucky for you, Father is lucky for you, and I am lucky to have someone like you as a grandchild. I promise you a few of these people I tend to here are tired of me bragging about you, and they'll have to suck it up. Keep going strong."
Astarte
Spoiler"Gods forbid the day you stop tripping over your own feet you will be a force to be reckon with. I'm sorry I couldn't do more when your dad left. I also wish I could have cured that allergy of yours before I had to go, but you'll just have to be careful without me. You're a good kid, don't end up like me. If someone gets in your way, beat them back with that kind heart of yours."
Este
Spoiler"I don't imagine it will be long before you use the instructions Vaki left with the letters and you and Taal find yourselves on these shores. Val and I will be waiting. Don't hit me too hard sis, but even if you do, I'll hug you when you get here."
Rosa
Spoiler"This'll probably surprise you to get a letter, you didn't know me very long but you left an impression on me kid. Gods above you're naive, empty-headed, and a glutton for sad endings. But you're kind. You are unfathomably kind, even as you smile and I could see the sorrow and grief behind your eyes, you were true-heartedly, and powerfully kind. I don't think you'll be anything huge amongst our people. You might not even live that much longer than this gets to you. But that doesn't matter.
I leave Vaki to you. They'll tell you what you need to know about them and their purpose. Continue to be kind, and remember that if I could get a letter to you, you can get one to me, eventually. The promise stands. I'll always be a shoulder, as a not-dad."Tailesin
Spoiler"Don't rush ahead too fast. Gotta give me time to catch up eventually."
To The Rest of the Family
Spoiler"Good ******* lord, four hundred years ago if someone told me I'd have a family so large I couldn't get them all each their own letters, I'd call them drunk and kicked them out but here we are.
Some of you are children. Some by blood, some adopted, some I picked up out of a bush, or from a attic. It really doesnt matter.
Some of you are grand kids, nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, god ******* damnit there are so many of you.
I love you all as much as the next though. That'll never change. Doesn't matter what you are, what you become, what you do. I am a far from perfect person, and I never will be, and there will be actions I have done I can never undo. So I refuse to judge any of you.
You will all, always, forever, be loved by me at least, even when the rest of the world leaves you behind. I can promise you all that. "
And to everyone else.
"Y'all be fine without me around, there'll be another crazy ***** like me at some point and there are so many good souls in our people that they'll turn out to be a better druid than I ever was. And I was a damn good druid. I pray you all fight strongly and that at the end of time, the world is consumed with green and we can all rest our heavy heads on the ground and know deeply that we did our job and we did it well. No dragons, no deep dark evil gods, no weird armies of the past. Just the Balance and Nature..
I'll miss everyone. And if anyone wants to do as I am, and leave behind the Migration and work on fixing up what all we've left behind, the path'll be clear, but only when you are truly and utterly ready. How I got here, is unclear, but resolve seems important, as some who have left, don't come back if they lose it, and the sea takes them.
Oh. As well, I have left important things behind for some of you. You'll find them in the bottom floor of my brewery.
Spoiler
Damien, take care of The Perch.
Sonna, take care of the village.
But until then, or until even further. I'll eventually see most of you in the Forest. Don't be ******* daft now that I'm gone."

OOC:
SpoilerOh god oh **** is a pk without a death its a trick. Naw, I just couldn't envision Hareven going out with suicide or giving up, and I wouldn't be shooting him if I had any intentions of playing any time soon or I'd throw him balls deep into the end of map scenario and have him go out in style. So this'll do. Retiring him out as it will be a very very long time before I come back.
And yeah, I'll probably get sucked back into this place, but Hareven has always been my central character and without him, that pull will be less so I can focus on life better. Things are up and down but it is what it is and this is effectively his PK, even if he remains canonically alive somewhere with hookers and blow and what have you.
My dear lovely ST friends, please deny all of his apps effective immediately. He may be alive but as a character he will be further unplayed so please shoot them and give me no hesitation.
I'll still be around, I have too many friends made from LotC to not be hanging out, I just won't be playing. So I'll still be annoying alot of you. But not on the server itself.
This was a hard call to make but I've had Hareven since 2017 and yknow what, it's a happy ending. So, **** it.
I'll see all yall later.

I dont even play anymore right now and this got me
Bravo you glorious mother fucker lol4 -
I'm doing better! Still not enough to come back, I left to remove and reduce stress and things still aren't stable enough for me to safely say I could come back and enjoy things without stressing out
But things are better. Got way back into DND, got my lungs under control, still working on the rest of my laundry list of issues
Nothing's easy still and some days are very hard but both me and sybbyl are doing our best and enjoying everything we can to keep everything else from weighting us down

I'm still on hiatus/half-way quit (You know what that means, anyone whose ever quit and come back lol) and I've come to two conclusions and two questions
One. I still like, lotc, in a strange way. Alot of it is garbage, the ooc stuff is garbage, how RP gets us oocly upset is strangely common and weird looking at it after being backed out for almost three months now.
Two. Server isnt worth what it does to us sometimes. I look at the friends I've made, but I look at the friends I've lost cause I let myself go and let Rp and stuff effect my attitude oocly and man, I was an ******* lol. This server wasn't worth, and isn't worth, losing friends. I don't understand it but eventually I will.
So my questions are.
Looking from outside, in, why do you think that happens? Sometimes I'm not sure what I did. I know sometimes I let myself go and it hurt people, but othertimes I have no idea. And this doesn't include when you realize someone isn't good for you to be around. That happens, and it's a healthy thing to walk away, I know it isn't easy.
And my second question is.
How is everyone doing? I still do quite miss RP'ing with people and I miss chill rp and adventures, and making a story of my personas. I miss doing staff stuff to try and help the server. My health is doing better but there's so much in my life right now I'd be a idiot to come back now.
So lemme know how you've been! My discord ain't changed and I'm still present in alot of lotc discords as a whole. I miss a whole lot of ya. And I hope the servers gotten better.
-I'm still alive, Keefy

No I'm not leaving. This is just a little forum post cause I cannot be arsed to poke and prod every person I know about what where and how I am doing.
I'm currently struggling with what looks like will be 3 months minimum of severe upper respiratory issues, alongside severe gastro issues resurfacing, back problems intensifying, private issues regarding finances and other things.Basically I am a hot mess and so I won't be around for RP for awhile. I'll still be about, and if things improve, I'll be back. The only thing I'll be focusing on for a hot bit is building a village near my usual RP haunt.
I'm sorry for those who like RPing for me, for having to dip out like this, but I can't see myself enjoying RP while I'm on mister bones wild ride right now. I might make some forum posts about my persona doing shit somewhere but that's about it.
I hope everyone does well while I'm trying to straighten myself out, and I can't wait to see you all again online, but for now.
Hareven went on a long journey to do some druid duties or some shit.
My discord hasn't changed, Keefy#0001 if you ever wanna chit chat or talk, but for now, long hiatus begins until I can breath painlessly and walk more than ten feet without feeling like god has slapped me with a 2x4 in my back.I hope you all have a good time, and if there's anyways I can help without logging on, again. I'm in front of a desk for 14-16 hours a day cause of aforementioned disabilities.
Much love, Keefy

Why do you stay on this hell hole
I've actually thought alot on this recently.
Full disclosure, I am a mess. My back is completely busted, one of my legs doesn't work most days, I can barely go outside without someone being with me or I completely shut down, and as of this summer I got diagnosed with rather severe bi polar. I am a mess, and my inability to control it for awhile costed me some close friends.
Noone on lotc has any illusions that it isn't unhealthy as hell. It takes a precarious balance to prevent yourself from falling into the potholes of shittery that happens so often.
But in the end, I think why I am still here, is cause I, in the end, enjoy helping, and I enjoy the friends I still have. Yeah, I get accused of nasty stuff all the time for being a druid player. ANd I'm not the most responsive human being. But I enjoy making stories for people. I enjoy helping the communities I am in, be it amending and maintaining lore, helping players that are struggling. I can't work anymore, as I await SSI and Medicaid to actually help me. The feeling that I am doing something somewhat job like and slightly productive does help.
So in the end I'm still here because while I can be an immense shithead. I want to help people. I want to make this place just a little more fun, just a little less shitty, somehow, someway. And I'll probably leave one day, maybe just for awhile, maybe for good, who knows.
But until then I am here, and I am willing to help people if they are willing to trust me jacked up brain to do the right thing.8 -

Now the question! From an experienced event person to a new guy trying to provide some fun rp for my group, what are some tips/things to be aware of when it comes to player enjoyment?
Know the players you are providing for. And if you don't, get to know them.
I am a long time druid player, as a result some of my best events are druid events because I know the whole of that community intimately. So when I have to do events for people I don't know, I try to get to know them. Learn them. Different groups and different people find different interactions fun. I'm not saying be friends with everyone, I'm a anxiety ridden mess, but if you know your audience, the quality you can provide becomes exponentially better!3 -

5 minutes ago, Fireheart said:what's your most favorite lotc memory you've had on the server with one of your characters? what's one of them within the general community outside of rping your chracter?
That's hard to say, cause I mostly just play Hareven, and as you know I tend to play him fast and loose, so alot of nice memories come as a result. Most of the best ones are whenever its chilled out tavern or family rp.
But outside of characters, anytime people walk away from an event I DM satisfied. I do my best to not railroad, to let the players build and experience the story as they go on through the event, and I just tryy and bind it all nice and neat so it feels cohesive, like they're making changes in the world. Knowing I did the job well just feels good.7 minutes ago, JJosey said:do u like cheese

I read a lot so this is hard but I remember when the Graveyard Book came out I outright tried getting my highschool to sell me the copy they got cause I adored it so much. And as for ones that made me want to right, I cannot remember the author but he wrote a couple of books, all standalones, and each one took pov's of just people in their lives living them, some of them a little weirder than others, but you can kinda see the influence whenever I make a rp forum post. I enjoy feeling like I am in the story, I enjoy the ones that make me forget everything but it for a little while. But its been so long I'd have to dig to remember that author.
That said as far as recent influences, The Inheritance Trilogy is a solid read (not the Eragon books, these are waaaaay different).1
