((how will this archery contest be carried out? Mechanically? RPly? Rolls? 

[Rolls, since arrows are hard to come by and don’t stick to the targets we made.]

[OOC: This event will take place in the settlement of Stygia, near Talon’s Grotto, on Friday the 22^nd at 5 PM CST. Fliers have been posted in every major city and settlement.]

The winter is upon us, but you needn’t stay indoors all season!

Come to Stygia, where the warm sea breezes will soothe your spirit. 

The Rangers of the Wild, with their headquarters and barracks in the settlement of Stygia, will be holding an archery contest within the town.

First and second place gets a prize of mina and a hand-carved trinket, while third simply gets 50 mina.

HOW TO GET TO STYGIA

[If you need further help getting to Stygia, DM TheBananasaurus#7362]

1. Head south towards the Druids.

2. You’ll see a sign for the Druids on your left. Take that fork in the road.

3. You’ll come to a short wooden bridge that says Stygia – take the bridge.

4. Keep going through the forest of giant mushrooms.

5. Follow the sign.

6. You’ll come to a beach. Continue following signs to Stygia.

7. These are the outer walls of Stygia. Head to the left to the back gate, or around the right to the front.

8. Once inside, head up the short stairs to your right to find the Rangers of the Wild’s headquarters, barracks, archery range, and training dummies.

I suppose so, however the issue comes that they stand on two bent legs on pseudo-small paws. On all 4s they would be fine however on 2 they would have minimal balance or traction so even walking could prove to be a feat. Meanwhile people have straighter legs with more surface area on their feet, allowing them to maintain balance and traction at the same time as walking, climbing, ect.

I understand the logistics of it, but they still walk upright, unlike other creatures that need tails for balance, like dinosaurs. I really think making it that easy to cripple a kha for life just by docking their tail makes it way too easy for villain characters to destroy the race as a whole and individuals.

Along with that, I noted the “like big toes on humans” thing because once we lose those, we have to learn to move our center of balance from the balls of our feet, to the sides and back. Kha without tails would have to move their balance from their toes to their paw-pads. But definitely sprinting and claiming would be, as I said before nearly impossible without aid.

I think a kha would eventually get used to having its tail cut off enough to where they could eventually stand on their own, but more athletic feats would be impossible. Just like gumans who have their big toes cut off. @EnderMaiashiro

Bump?

Tlaloc the kharajyr pens his in a messy, but unhurried hand. He finds the steward and hands it, and a fiction book ‘Of Mice and Kha,” to them directly.

This gives the deity (pardon my pun) real depth. There still remains mystery, in my opinion, on her machinations or why she chose to do one thing or another. But quantifying the entire lore as bad just because Dresdrasil now has more definition is just... silly. There are unfathomable things still within the oceans that only she would be aware of.

This post gives those who worship her a more intricate and defined culture to work with, instead of just a nebulous Lovecraftian, C’thulu-like horror that’s unknowable and unseen forever, and has no other actual aspects to it OTHER than “it’s a mystery, wooOOOoo!”

Well met, recruit; welcome into the fold. I am eager to meet face-to-face. Send a bird my way at your earliest convenience. Our headquarters is in Stygia, a town near Talon’s Grotto."

@peachy_keener Yes, we are! Feel free to apply! Sorry about the delayed response – it seems the forum didn’t want to notify me people had replied here.

Lythorien Banebow, the leader of the guild, the Rangers of the Wild, accepts no members who hold prejudices against any particular race, and is thus friendly towards all. He has not, however, met officially with any high-standing member of the Kharajyr in order to sign a treaty. His allies, the Druids, and the Adherents (living in the town of Oropo), are not affected by this.

[OOC: The Adherents live in Oropo, a town attached to Sutica]

Are you guys still active?

(OOC: Hello! Sorry for the delayed response! We’re currently on somewhat of a hiatus, as I’m dealing with significant health issues. However, feel free to send in an application and it will be reviewed when I recovery from my surgery that’s scheduled at the end of this month. Cheers!)

I love this idea!

But the formatting...

I suggest you un-bold anything that isn’t a title, please. Also, not everything has to be in massive font size lol

My poor eyes xD

**MC Names of all involved**
TheBananasaurus, EnderMiaishiro, Viltaren(?)

**Description**
Before the map went live, the building of Sutica’s kharajyr area was created by kha players overseen by EnderMaiashiro. I chose a plot and customized the house. All items were looked over, approved, and then pasted in correctly except a for a painting. I was told to make a modreq by Ender when the map first started but unfortunately I’ve been in extremely poor health and continue to be. I made a modreq today, but the mod was unable to help with this particular matter, suggesting it might be a resource pack issue (I use PureBDcraft, formerly known as Sphax, but Ender also didn’t see the painting. It’s not invisible, it’s just not there at all). Barring a resource pack issue, I was pointed towards here to make a dev bug post.

**Date of occurance**
The day the week went live, I checked on my house and the painting wasn’t there. Everything else, including a noteblock and custom banners, were just fine.

**In game specifications**
My IGN is TheBananasaurus, and the persona it occurred on is Tlaloc.

**Steps to Reproduce**
<!--- Provide all the steps necessary to reproduce the problem →

I am uncertain of this.
1. Step 1
2. Step 2
3. Step 3
4. Step 4

**Expected Behavior**
The painting had been positioned over the table on the inside of the house, to the right of the entrance.

**Actual Behavior**

Since it was missing, I placed a banner on the area instead until another painting could be given/fixed.

**Additional Information**
Here’s a screenshot of the coordinates of my house where the painting in question is missing, from the viewpoint of the outside of the house. I don’t come on the forums often at the moment, so please **ping me on the LOTC Discord** @Bananasaurus (AKA LOTC’s Abra). DMs may not work but you can always try using the Discord link I have under my username on here.

**Error Message**

Tlaloc has reservations siding with peoples that have shown so much hostility, but in the end, much more has been done to the kha by other races, and the Hou-zi and Kharajyr are, in his opinion, wise to align. He is glad Tsisha has grown so wise and shown such talent for leadership.

“Ees good. May our peoples floureesh,”  he mutters to himself.

“Allying with the druids will be the death of your guild.” Headmaster Bell remarks with a scoff, before speaking once more ”It amazes me that you are so blind to this issue, as allying with said druids will prevent you from achieving the purpose of your guild, of which was to hunt wild game, as I’m aware some of your members have signed up for such. Though, in despite of tragedy – know that I will catch your downfall.”

 

Headmaster Bell, of the Huntsmen, would finish his missive to the guild leader, hoping he would consider his following offer:

 

”If you retract your retreat to the druids, I will provide you shelter and comfort on the island of Eldar’seal, of which I will let you freely hunt and fulfill the purpose of your guild, which is similar to ours. Write back when possible.”

 

The end of the note was signed with a neatly put:

Headmaster Bell, leader of the Huntsmen Brigade, owner of Eldar’Seal island

((Talavok#3594))

Given the hostile tone of the letter that arrived to Lythorien, he decided against sending the reply back on Tobias’ leg, and instead strapped the parchment to the bird that had been sent to him. The letter had been written in a steady hand, devoid of any signs of stress.

To Headmaster Bell, Leader of the Huntsmen Brigade,

I know not why you came to detest the Druids as you seem to, but they and I reached an agreement after their leaders had already come to know the basis of my guilds’ purpose and calling. We do not hunt on their lands, and thus neither of our values are threatened.

To that end, I shall not retract my alignment with them until such a time as they themselves feel it is not within their best interests.

I thank you for your offer of shelter, but I must politely decline. I do not mean to offend, but I can ill afford to divide my Rangers in too many places at this time. As you and I have no quarrel, here, I wish nothing but peace between the Rangers of the Wild, and your Huntsmen Brigade.

We are survivalists, indeed, but also a gathering of individuals seeking to aid in spreading good-will and harmony throughout the peoples Arcas.

May the Wilds Be in Your Favor,

Ranger-Master Lythorien Banebow

To Elawynn Caerme’onn ( @MamaBearJade ), 

Thank you for applying. Your application is currently under review. 

Please make sure to re-read our tenet (number 2) regarding significant affiliations. Honorary positions, as well as affiliations with our allies will be able to be retained. However, upon joining, most other affiliations must either be relinquished, or must not conflict with Ranger tenets and our allies, such as the Druids.

Certain affiliations may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please send a bird to discuss your particular situation.

My best regards, 

Ranger Master Lyhtorien Banebow

((OOC NOTE: Shoot me a DM me on Discord to talk about her affiliations. I’m not personally aware of some of those. Pardon the ignorance!))

 

((OOC NOTE: Hello, all! With the move to Arcas and a fair bit of changes in members and the state of alliances, this thread’s original post (and our Discord server) is in the process of being updated.

We are still accepted applicants! Stay tuned!))

[!]
[Two scrolls had been handed to a druid and requested to be pinned on the stone noticeboard inside the Mother Grove, where announcements are usually placed. The first reads as follows, while the second is a description of the Rangers of the Wild and their tenets.]

To My Rangers,

We have been graciously granted temporary rest in the Druids' inn/social area. You are to respect their laws, not cause disruptions, aid them under the leadership of the Archdruids, and protect them when called upon (if you are capable of doing so).

Make your faces familiar, and by extension, the Rangers a known guild. For the time being, we have no safer haven than here. Do not breech the Druids' trust, and do not create or attract enemies to this sacred place.

The penalties of not following the laws of the Druids will be steep. You have been warned.

To My Druid Allies,

Your kindness and understanding will not be forgotten. If any of your lot should find any of my Rangers misbehaving (breaking either your laws or our tenets posted below, please send a bird to me and they will be dealt with swiftly, but without violence unless direly needed and outside the Grove’s borders. Tobias, my red-tailed hawk and the Ranger’s official letter-carrier, will send my reply in due fashion.

Regards,

Ranger-Master Lythorien Banebow

That would be something to bring up with developers. Moderators don’t control that!

Good to know for whenever the next Dev Update is ._.

Thanks, and sorry again.

There are a lot of flowers in the Cloud Temple Greenhouse. Which ones are you trying to get?

I.... just experimented and now feel dumb.

I was not aware you could bonemeal REGULAR flowers in this map/build. Sorry! ?

But also vote milestones and playtime hours resetting (so we can’t get more SS slots and such) seem to be issues to add to the list. Unsure if you’re already aware of those, though.

Why the heck is AFKing still illegal.

AFKing in the CT at the very least should be legal since nobody can hurt us there anyway, and people go off briefly to vote and do things that make them leave the screen momentarily.

Like, we get kicked by being AFKing too long already, don’t we? Why continue punishing that?

Also @Fireheart – First of all, I appreciate all the hard work and stress you and the rest of the staff have been handling. Thank you for that. I know all the bugs aren’t just frustrating to us players but to you as well.

On that note, however...

The greenhouse. It doesn’t have most flowers (does it have any at all?) and there are no other shops at the CT with them. When I asked (on several different occasions in the last several months, oops) about flowers and how I didn’t want to steal or leave land-scars or have to tress-pass on someone’s land to bonemeal for flowers (especially the rare swamp one), I was told that they’d either be sold at a shop or at the greenhouse in the CT.

Yet... pretty much every vanilla vegetation is sold at the CT and... no flowers. ?

I can understand  if the argument was “lol go bonemeal your own, scrub,” but, like... all the other vegetation sold at the CT can be bonemealed, for the most part. So why aren’t flowers there?

I realize it’s a small issue, and hell, maybe I’m just blind AF and can’t find them, but I hope you or another staff can answer me, pwetty pwease? :3

*EDIT* Oops, forgot to ask if you guys will be having voting rewards again this map. x3

That’s because they’re CA races, you can’t apply as them.

CA stands for “Creature application,” so, yes, technically, you can. Just not new players.
