    A TIME FOR MOURNING

    in Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska

    Posted

    Oblivious to the world and the death of his mamej, Grigoryi Demitrius was born! The baby Ruthern would face a life of hardships, and would perhaps be blamed for the death of his mother.

     

    It did not matter much, as in true newborn style, the first thing he decided to do was cry!

    I believe that's a very surface level and whimsical method of discernment. What metric defines the right mindset for staff on a server that has been stagnating for years with wide disapproval of actions (or inactions) made by staff? If there is one, it must be counterproductive as the community widely disapproves of the scale of the current world, the lack of available interaction between settlements, and much more things that people who supposedly have the 'right' mindset agreed on.

    Many people who played before 2018 left the server and never came back due to how hard legitimate RP has been curbed. Many people like myself come on the forums / rant / play for a week then leave not due to some odd characteristic or unstability, but moreso out of hope that the server will at some point actualize its potential, rather than being complacent with its current deterioration and continue to only make changes based off of what evidently very few in the community support. His views on importance are in line with what the community wants. The fact that he is willing to volunteer his time to benefit the server is commendable. By all means, gatekeep, but the reason here just seems arbitrary.

    It means I don't think he'll stay, judging by past behavior.

     

    I'm not trying to gatekeep, I'm allowed to give my opinion on a staff application...I specifically stated that I have no doubt in his competencies, but do not think he's fit for staff for reasons I already mentioned.

     

    Just cuz you want him doesn't mean I have to agree..

    Although I have no doubt in your building competencies, to me you seem far too unstable for a staff position, drfate. You flip flop between leaving lotc and never coming back, to rejoining and applying for staff once ever few weeks. I feel like you are not reliable enough to be on staff, and do not have the right mindset, as good as your builds may be.

    Removing Monk Guidance, changing Application Standards, measuring Tutorial Island's efficacy (25% reduction in first day quitting), restructuring /apply, organizing the bulk of the team into a rotational roster with measurable success (currently one application open at time of posting), the beginnings of the Wiki's front page rehaul, another project to improve the Wandering Soul experience... I mean, would you like us to dance as well?

     

    The above is more than enough to measure with a retention report. I wouldn't dare implement something like the Retention Plugin and muddle the results with everything else we've done. I'm sticking to my guns; we take measurable steps along the way to figure out what does and doesn't work. It's not flashy, it's not pretty, but it gets us there at the end of the day.

     

    As for the plugin's delay? You could have found me at any of the tech's doorsteps attempting to bribe them with delivered pizza. The issue is that techs have long operated on a "put-out-the-closest-fire", and there are some projects that are more immediately pressing. But if you've taken a look at the Staff roster, you'll notice an explosion of recent new techs. There's a bunch of really cool stuff happening behind the scenes, but I can't be the one to spoil that for you. Let's just say that it'll be a much finer start than CT farms.

     

    The first part moved the issue, but did not fully fix it. I'm not here trying to discredit the work you guys have done. I'm simply stating that the retetion numbers improved by a small margin, and while it most likely can be attributed to all the previous measures you mentioned they did not drastically improve things. Instead, the time people quit was moved by a week, basically.

     

    As I said before, the things cteam are improving on are not the only part of the problem, and there are a lot of issues that lie far beyond anything the Cteam can do. The player retention plugin is a project that Kowaman himself was assigned to, and I recall a post being made that there was progress on it. I'm again, not here to discredit anyone, as you guys are putting in the work and I appreciate that. I'm just not fully agreeing with the way the results are being portrayed. I just see a lot of PR for results that mean far less than they are made out to be. They're a start and a start that should be appreciated, but just also one that has a lot of factors to it that you can't easily pin down.

    If anything the moment people quit just moved.

    The total went up by a few %, but not that much. It's also unclear what caused the increase. I doubt it is relating to the new application standards, but I could be wrong. The player retention plugin is also still well...a mystery? There's no real explanation to the delay and I don't think a lot of dev work is being done to warrant such a setback (from the point of view of a regular player, don't shoot me). I'm glad this update finally went out, but it seems like a lot of PR for the status quo. Not much changed, at least in my eyes. I would like to be proven wrong however.

     

    Retention lies not just with applications and the way new players are guided, but there are issues far beyond anything the cteam can do. Maybe get those usable CT farms @Heero told me a few months ago CT could get. That should also be a nice start.

     

     

     

    Anyways, kudos to the Cteam, glad to see an update out from the pink tags.

    Duke Reinmar remembers single handedly handling the royal treasury for a good few years before becoming Royal Treasurer. He'd also recall how he was the only one willing to do such at the time as well. He'd then shrug after reading the missive to go back to his work.

    Jan Otto Kortrevich wonders when the Silver Krawns are getting restocked.

     

    He sighs, watching his stockpile of un-redeemable silvers grow and grow!

    THE ATTENLUND UNION

    Agreed on this 13th of Msitza & Dargund

    Between the House of Kortrevich, House of Amador and House of Mondblume

    PREFACE

    To the far East of the grand capital of Karosgrad lies the Attenlund: a vast wilderness, home to some of the worst threats the Kongzem has faced in Almaris. In choosing to settle these lands, the three Attenlund Houses knew the risks and challenges they were about to face. Against them stood the distance from the capital, the lack of roads, the Nachezer lurking in the distance, the fall of Krusev at the hands of the rimetrolls, and the sieges of Vidaus and Valwyck by the Nachezer. All these made one thing clear to the Lords: they could not last in the Attenlund on their own.

     

    The initiative was led by Lord Amador, who had called the Lords to meet in both Aurveldt and Jerovitz. They knew that the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, and the rest of the capital could not provide immediate aid, should such be required.

    The Attenlund Hillsides

     

     

    Therefore, to ensure their own protection and prosperity, the Houses of Kortrevich, Amador and Mondblume, hereafter referred to as the signatories, agree to adhere to the following articles:

     

    Article I. ON RESOURCES

    I: THAT should a signatory require material aid such as building materials, weaponry, medical supplies or food, the other signatories shall aid in acquiring them.

     

    II: THAT the signatories agree to assist each other in gathering these resources, should they find themselves unable to provide the aid up front.

     

    Article II. ON DEFENSE

    I: THAT in the case any of the signatories finds themselves under attack from a threat within, or outside the Attenlund, they will rally to provide initial military aid.

     

    II: THAT bonfires will be set up near each of the signatories’ lands, so that they may be used to signal both each other, and the forces stationed within Karosgrad.

     

    III: THAT the mutual defense serves as a first line, and does not aim to be used as a separate Haeseni levy. The rallied forces serve as the initial fighting force, until the Brotherhood can come to the aid of the signatories, should such be needed.

     

    Article III. ON PRINCIPLES AND MEMBERSHIP

    I: THAT the signatories will ensure Canonist morals and principles are upheld and spread throughout the Attenlund and the Kongzem.

     

    II: THAT the signatories will strive to maintain their freedoms and rights as nobles.

     

    III: THAT new members, noble or otherwise, shall be permitted to join the Union through a majority vote of the three founding signatories.

     

    IV: THAT any insult against one signatory shall be treated as an insult against all, and will be dealt with accordingly.

     

    Article IV. ON DURATION

    I: THAT this Union shall remain in effect for no less than 15 (FIFTEEN) years, to be renewed or discontinued at that point through unanimous decision of the signatories.

     

     

    IV JOVEO MAAN,

    IV JOVEO EHR, 382 E.S.

     

    The Right Honorable, Jan Otto Kortrevich, Komit of Jerovitz, Vikomit of Krusev, Bossir of Karovia

     

    The Honorable, Isaak Amador, Vikomit of Aurveldt, Bossir of Mondstadt

     

    His Lordship, Hildebrand Mondblume, Bossir of Richtenberg

    A certain Haesenie Lord wonders why only the Grand Maer of Karosgrad got a spepcial invite, and not the King of Haense. "Huh, seems like they did nie realize the Grand Maer does niet lead the state." He huffed, passing the invititation to one of his cousins.

    [✗] Can someone accept this creature to be lore friendly?

    Maybe you should all stop clowning on a player who tries to make a genuine lore submission and is just not familiar with the formatting and process for doing such.

     

     

    @VeganNatureQueen I recommend you take a look at previous lore submissions if you need some examples of how these things should be implemented. What also helps, is talking to the story team if you need more direct help. They have a discord for various lore questions, if you need a more direct way to get in contact with them.
