Jurist and scholar Veikko Harjalainen takes a few moments to adjust his monocle, his dark eyes squinting as he tries to gauge just why the Mali are taking laws entirely verbatim from the Holy Orenian Empire’s previous codices. 

Haraccus Cardinal Ves could offer no words of respite nor prayer. A melancholy washed over him as the realisation of his longest-living friend, a man of faith who he watched climb from lay-man to the highest reaches of faith, was there to laugh and joke alongside him no longer. Little resolution could be found for this horror except for the knowledge that the man was in safer hands.

haraccus winces

excited 2 see how adminteam r going to reconcile gdpr right to access (i.e, provide users with a digital copy of personal data shared) as a legal obligation

even tho their own classification of content is tagged w/ their claim of becoming copyright owners even tho personal data etc of the “creator” remains tagged to the forum posts (mods etc can see IPs pinned to posts)

will lotc provide personal data, as IPs are uploaded && shared to lotc as part of user-generated content, to users if they request it even though they say in the bottom paragraph that they will not do so under any circumstances

further; if someone reqs their identifying user-generated content removed (as is their right btw), as this is a violation of the terms of service but a right of the law.. does it mean u gets banned :[

Much to think abt...

Monsignor Haraccus looked gloomily as he rode his old mare to Hel, but very attentive to his business ahead. This stare of formality was invariably custom of the laconic Rassidun as a he slipped further into age. His horse, some old beast primed for a knacker’s yard, too looked unusually well-groomed. With time and the good grace of no vagabonds lurking the road, he should be fit to make the gates of the city within a day.

PETITION

THE RIGHT VENERABLE MONSIGNOR IDE HARACCUS

HOLY CHURCH OF THE CANON

V.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL

COUNT BOHEMOND DE LEUMONT OF PROVINS

DESIRES TO PETITION THE FOLLOWING TO THE COURT;

The Crown v. Kharajyar R.A.

DUE TO OUR CONSIDERATION THAT HIS EXCELLENCY THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL MUST ADJUST THE AFOREMENTIONED FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, BECAUSE

Secular courts of law, in the exercise of their own jurisdiction, do not and never did that I can find, govern the divine morality of actions. As to this they held that deorum injuriae dis curae.

          I. THE QUESTION OF THE APPLICABILITY OF CHAPTER I. arts. III., IV., IV.I., IV.II., V., V.I., XIII., XIII.I., XIII.III., XIV., XIV.I.  OF THE CRIMINALIS LEGEM.

The Auditor of the Tribunal of the Church of the Canon took the view that the articles of: CHAPTER I. CRIMINALIS LEGEM, III., IV., IV.I., IV.II., V., V.I., XIII., XIII.I., XIII.III., XIV., XIV.I. were not material to the case, since there was no condonation nor encouragement of violence, murder or persecution within either The 1st Golden Bull of Rhodesia nor The 2nd Golden Bull of Judeburg. This contest is out of convention as the Solicitor-General provided that only those articles that provided a legal conflict would be rendered null, and there holds no legal conflict.

The plaintiff misattributed the bull’s denotation of the killing of the Kajayr as being an act without sin and instead attributed the The 2nd Golden Bull of Judeburg as “espousing the beliefs of the Canonists Church, who seek to mutilate those who are not Human”. 

The articles cited by the plaintiff do not pertain to the original content of the 2nd Golden Bull of Judeberg, as these articles concern acts of bodily violence and death, whereas the 2nd Golden Bull of Judeberg states the following in reference to the status of mortal sin, or lack thereof, of the action;

“All races not of the descent from the First Coupling are known to be Bestial Races. These races are deemed to be mere animals and, be they tamed or killed, cannot incur sin upon ones immortal soul.”

          II. REGARDING THE JURISDICTIONAL COMPETENCY OF THE HOLY ORENIAN EMPIRE

The Pontificate retains that the subject of the 2nd Golden Bull of Judeberg does not stand in conflict with any extent imperial law as it governs the spiritual morality of killing Karajyr and the status of killing a Karajyr as not being a mortal sin, and not of the legal status of those committing the act. It is understandable that the judge may conflate criminal and spiritual culpability, but these two remain strictly separated competencies, with the Mother Church retaining sole competency of what shall and shall not be classed as a sin for a Canonist - as all classifications of sin are promulgated from the Scroll of Virtue and subsequent adaptations and interpretations of the teachings of the scroll by ecclesiastical jurists and scholars. 

The courts of the Holy Orenian Empire are not entitled to govern what constitutes a sin in the eyes of the Church of the Canon, unless the legal conclusion is adjudicated by a bishop-judge on the basis of the ecclesiastical laws of the Church of the Canon.

          III. REGARDING THE JURISDICTIONAL RELEVANCY OF GOLDEN BULLS

Issued bulls are to act as informative texts to denote contemporary changes in ecclesiastical legislature and do not stand as laws in their own right - all extent laws of the mother church are instead compiled within the book of ecclesiastical laws of the Church of the Canon, which does not mention Karajyr nor beasts in any form within its articles. 

The compilation of ecclesiastical laws renders the legislative provisions of both cited golden bulls useless beyond their uses for education of students of historic Canonist dogma.

IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH;

Reversal of the conclusions of The Crown v. Kharajyar R.A.
The publishing of an affirmation and affidavit of the Solicitor-General to state that there is no legal conflict between the LEX CRIMINALIS, the ecclesiastical law of the Holy Church of the Canon, and the cited bulls. 

AND THEREFORE HOPES TO RESTORE JUSTICE IN THE AFOREMENTIONED PROCEDURE.

YOURS HUMBLY,

THE RIGHT VENERABLE MONSIGNOR IDE HARACCUS

HOLY CHURCH OF THE CANON

Enjoyment was written on the face of Msgr Haraccus: some articles of the codex were even favourites of his; and when he encountered these, he smiled, winked, and worked over each word with wordless movements of his mouth, till it seemed as though each inky letter might be read in his face, as his quill wrote out the drafts. The work finished, his nib dulled. Haraccus slept a long sleep that night.

“True to the spirit of exalted Owyn’s purging of the Harrenites.” cheers a passing Flamenist ascetic.

Why does this read as if you’re blaming players for an utterly idiotic system that was pushed for by an Admin who plays 10 hours a month, where you rely on two opposing sides to agree within a timely manner? This new war system is laughably poor, and it is incredibly easy to postpone a war for weeks.

It’s far easier to place the incompetencies, inadequacies and inconsistencies of any system that you’ve made onto the people interpreting it – I’m not going to go on some Barthesian literary tirade about every text needing to stand entirely on its own, but it’s a cheap trick to say that your inability to write a system that can be understood by most people as an isolate and freestanding thing is the fault of “the players participating”.

It’s an issue of language and the inability of whoever was using said language to convey what they mean with concision and clarity. If people can’t understand whatever system you’re trying to put across, write it better or get a better system.

I imagine this was just done so flam (and the lore team as a whole) can say that all lore is his and he can do whatever he wants with it without the consent of the original writer.

no it's literally the 2012 ToS of another Minecraft community with LOTC ctrl+fed in, that's why it mentions premium vaults and buying city houses

don't think theres some malice when they're just lazily copying a low quality tos boilerplate

standard copyright boilerplate

if you google the right sentences u can find the other minecraft server they ripped it from.

Please ban me for toxicity. I have behaved horribly to several members of LOTC’s community and need to be punished as a result. Since I am a repeat offender, the ban should be for at least 1 month.

just dont shitpost every time nations do what theyve done since the server began ?? its tiring and repetitive. thats it.

nobody is stopping you from playing hobbit and nobody wants you banned

Haraccus makes a small vigil for the man who had witnessed his oaths but months prior. He flicks through his book of Canon prayer, old thumbs turning pages with some haste before settling on the repose for the dead.

Do Thou, O Lord, have mercy on our dearly departed, for the sake of us sinners all who greatly hope and trust in Thee. For Thy mercy can turn bittering weeping to joyous fanfare, for Thou alone judgeth the living and the dead.

Old Haraccus clutches the essay close to his eyes as he reads its very message! His chest rising and falling with the fervent pride of a man in zealous agreement, he makes note of the name of the author in some dingy back-alley of his memory, knowing full well to keep the idea of ever meeting a pious man of such a kindred mind in his prayers.

good.

edit; bad

Haraccus returns to the modest clerk-residence on the 10th anniversary of his previous visit. 

In the old Rassidun’s face there was no note of anything very special to his character—it was much like the face of many another wizened man of empire, save that his heavy eyes were not yet grown dull, but twinkled under his knotted brows like the eyes of young mice when, with attentive ears and sensitive whiskers, they snuff the air and stare forth from their holes to see whether a cat may or may not be nearby. 

No, the easiest noticed feature about the man was the clothing he had arrived wearing. In no way could it have been guessed of what his coat was truly sewn of, for both its sleeves and its skirts were so ragged and filthy as to defy the description of a sheltered clerk, while instead of the silken robes of the foppish magister-prince he wore a beggar’s shawl, the man stood armoured in the oversized platelegs of a long-dead brigand, with, projecting from them, matted bundles of straw.

In short, had the clerk chanced to encounter him at a monastery door, he would have bestowed upon him a mina or two, but in the present case there was standing before him, not a mendicant of financial need but of a far more metaphysical ilk.

The former magistrate stood in other words, as no longer the sort of embroidered fine farfolk who dispenses justice to the poor, lives in comfort and luxury of palatial estates, and is destined to leave his property to heirs who are purposing to squander the same on foreign wines but as the simulacra of a man better found in an alms-house .

“I have not heard back yet. Is something wrong?” is the man’s laconic greeting to the clerk, punctuated by a fit of coughs, each such cough met with a subsequent signing of the cross of Lorraine over his heaving chest.
