Seems the server is only going one way.

It's nice to see that even after a couple of months away from LoTC, that this place is the same ****show it has always been, it's good to once in a while be validated that my decision to leave was the best choice I ever made. 

Good man, leaving the server and its toxic community is worth it nine out of ten times. Good luck on your path.

Ruathar crumbled up the piece of paper as the invitation inevitably reached him at a roadside tavern, delivered by some witless sycophant most likely employed by the Loa'chil regime. He would toss it into a fireplace, once he found a place to settle down for the night, far into the wilderness.

Why bother hating, when you can leave this toxic community and be happy. Works for me.

"Can one request these dark brothers exact revenge on the 'kinsmen' of Nor'asath." A disgruntled Indoren would murmur to no one in particular. Making a silent prayer to Kor and Shezept for the swift delivery of his former 'friends' to Stargush'stroh.

I'm not really one to take part in wars unless it's genuinely something that I have a vested interest in, but the type of attitude where you have a spoiler of all your 'PVP Kills' is one of the most primary -- and horrible -- parts of conflict in LOTC, where it doesn't turn into a narrative story that both sides can enjoy and contribute to, and rather a shit-flinging contest where both sides try to outdo one another by showcasing how many people they've downed; showing that there's a lack of distinction between RP and OOC.

 

At the end of the day, there's a person behind the screen and I don't think showing off the number of people slain in a conflict via mechanical combat is in good faith and fosters a more toxic and negative environment between two differing sides.

 

The whole culture about 'Rep Wars' is also pretty gross as well.

 

Likewise, I don't think the Orcs should be carrying things to bait other players in their signatures just because it's funny. As aforementioned before, it only adds to the negative mindset currently seen now.

 

"Another folly made by the government of Celia'nor? What a shock!" Ruathar Indoren feigned a surprise as the news would find him. "Never pay a company that have never won a war."

"Do we really need more proof that the 'great' state of Malin'or does not have the best in mind for its people? We deserve all that may come our way."  Ruathar Indoren stated, careless of who might even overhear this discontent with the current leadership of Mali.

"Perhaps we truly are the oppressor, and what led us to this point is a disgrace to Malin. We would be better off as independent principalities."

Ruathar Indoren would ponder on this as he planned ahead for his own future, a plan forming in his mind.

"There better be a coronation soon." Sigmar Baruch smiled briefly before signing the cross in memory of the late King.

Maybe recommend more interesting beers, there are good ales out there. These three for example would rank among the top 10 for me. Root beers are pitiful.

"This does not bode well for the growth of the Mali'ker as a culture. Yet again our leaders overrule the will of its people. This is a sad day for our kin. Now the wolves will come to our door as they have done in the past, a strong Elven center is not something that the valah will tolerate."

Ruathar grumbled a quiet curse of the Loa'Chil for enthrusting this on them.

"Where are the Dual Principalities of Fenn and Nor'asath? This map is lacking." Ruathar Indoren shook his head "Better luck next time, Peralien."

"Seems I was right to leave the wedding early." Sigmar Baruch seemed relieved at that, hopeful that this puts and end to the war.

"Perhaps it is only good to break with age old traditions in hopes for a brighter future. Which the line of Novellen has clearly failed to do, instead it has been several decades of stagnation. So perhaps you should heed the call for change instead of clinging onto the conservatism that has crippled your nation under the rule of the last three Emperors. So I bid the new King of Oren good fortunes in his momentous task of reshaping a crumbling Empire." Sigmar Baruch burnt the letter, with an amused expression on his face.

"Ah... the Empire should not trust the word of a Rivian. Deceit is introduced at infancy, merely a look on history should tell all you need to know. Well, good luck to both sides. A fine respite to rebuild the wartorn lands in the wake of the most recent war." Sigmar Baruch chuckled to himself, as he looked out over the fields below Valwyck Castle.

"A pity the dragon forgot its nature as it flew overhead." Sigmar Baruch rolled his eyes at this far-fetched tale. "Otherwise the headlines would have been far more interesting." He would chuckle to himself.

"Truly three steps forward and two steps backwards, with Netseth as our new Prince." Ruathar sighed as the news of the resignation, confined to the comfort of his home which might soon be replaced with another due to recent events. "He lacks the understanding for ker of all walks of life, a sad day for the mali'ker."

"Perhaps these warmongering Blackvale men should be removed from the Empire. They're clearly doing this to fuel the hatred between the dominant Canonist states of Haense and the Empire. It's a pity the Empire align themselves with these brutes, who reflect poorly on the Empire." Sigmar Baruch shook his head in disbelief as the news reached him.

Revival of the Ghanyan tribes, eh?

So in your scenario we should bring more negativity to the server? This would only add more bad to the toxic environment of the community, so, hypothetically say I don't agree with someone's view, should it be allowed to go to do a systematic downvote on posts people made throughout their time spent on LotC? This way you just make an endless cycle of hate. I will not condone that. People can make proper reasoning for their anger instead a flat, rather irrelevant -1. That's my take on this. So it's a no from me.

"When will the realms of Man realize these vermin are actively seeking the deaths of thousands of good soldiers to fill their coffers? By jumping from alliance to alliance. We must systematically root out these cruel agents of Iblees. We should stand together against these vicious, warmongering brutes." Sigmar Voron Baruch frowned at this new alliance. "No good will come of this alliance."

"A brave man, even in his final moment. He should be welcomed into the seven Skies." Sigmar Baruch was relieved that he was put out of his misery fairly swiftly after being read his last rites. 

The Denouncement of Diomé Indoren

[!]A private letter only shared with the current Matriarch of Clan Indoren, Velsyni Indoren[!]

For too long we have been lenient in letting our dear cousin do as he pleases. I had hoped that in time he would cease his ways of needless bloodletting and come to his senses, alas he has continued to shame our ancestors. And as former Patriarch of our clan, I think we should convene on whether or not we wish to sit idly by and continue to let his actions diminish our clan’s reputation, with his current affiliations to the bandit group of the Ferrymen. I propose a civil meeting between all members of our clan in our new clanhall, where we can also discuss our future position within the Dual Principality. Whether or not Diomé will attend is entirely up to himself, but I will let it be known to you I would not hesitate to have his name stripped from history, as the kerir he has become.
