Guys being dudes?

What’s been your favorite event you’ve participated in(ST or player hosted) and why? If you could change 1 thing you’ve done during 2021 what would you change? What has been your biggest point of character development on any of your characters.

A young mail boy moved through a large estate in search of the Miss Natalie Beaumont. After searching every room the boy finally found her on the balcony, handing her the letter while taking many labored breaths. The young lady quickly dropped a few marks into the boy’s hand before waving him off. Natalie let out a loud huff as she opened what she assumed to be another gossip column or wedding announcement, the boring aftermath of a successful social season. Instead she a greeted by a much more intriguing letter, her attention falling solely to the parchment before her. “You must Sacrifice something to marry her.” She’d mumble to herself, the words which she’d previously thought to be a test of love now sent her heart into her throat. “Surely the man Chosen to be Arch-Chancellor wouldn’t be a murderer.” She’d tell herself, doing everything to convince herself the man was good. As she mumbled to herself on the balcony the dream of a beautiful wedding she wished to have during the first social season came flooding into her mind. It was almost identical to what she imagined during her relationship with Lord Leon, yet instead of ending with the bride and groom merrily walking out of the chapel there was an image of a bride laying on the ground, her dress stained red with her own blood as the guests simply move past her as they exit as if nothing was wrong.

1. What did sham yell at you about? If it has happened multiple times, which was your favorite? 2. Which one of your characters has been your favorite to play and why? 3. What has been your favorite Eventline that you’ve either interacted with or helped run and why? 4. If you could have dinner with any player on LOTC, who would it be?

Natalie Julia was sitting at the window of her rather empty abode, doodling a sketch of the city below when the bright beam of light burst towards the sky, the beam being far too close for comfort for many, yet the young woman quickly turned towards the towering pillar, looking on in awe. “How beautiful. I’ve never seen such a thing.” At that the girl quickly flipped to a new page in her journal, beginning to sketch the beam of light the best she could. “I suppose someone in the city is hard at work.” She’d comment to herself, assuming the beam of light was a simple side effect of some sort of magic.

Hey look, there I am!

Very cool but I will never read all of that

I don't really have a "spook" character, so I guess I might not be the target audience of this post, but I'm still responding... I have been active on the server for roughly a year now(maybe I'll escape on day) and I've had very few interactions with any Dark Mages or undead. I didn't even realize they existed until I had been on the server for months. Since I started a new character in March I've been lucky enough to see them more often and have some interactions which I've thoroughly enjoyed, but it still isn't too often. From everything I've seen I believe the main enemy of people trying to play Dark Mages and undead or just Antagonists in general is Metagamers. We all know there are those types of players who seem to froth at the mouth at the simple thought of being able to metagame an antagonist. It's hard for someone to be able to do antagonistic RP when the person they attack, kill, torture, drain, sacrifice, etc ends up telling every one of their friends about it OOCly. It's way too common that you have someone "randomly" show up at the cite of RP when they have no reason to be there. A lot of people can't handle RP not going their way and it goes unpunished so often that they think it's okay when it isn't. If Metagamers were actually punished then perhaps it would be better, but the rarely receive punishment. 99% of the time when you make a report of metagaming to moderation it falls solely on your shoulders to be able to prove there was metagaming beyond a reasonable doubt, which is HARD. If moderation were more open to looking into logs and performing investigations to help reporters have enough evidence then perhaps it would get better, but right now the majority of metagamers are walking away without any punishment and going on to do the exact same thing a month later.

Your application was only accepted a few days ago. Instead of hunting for magic you should spend time finding a community you enjoy RPing in and make friends both OOCly and IRPly. Everything comes with time, eventually, if you provide good Roleplay, you will end up with magic, but it takes work. Asking/begging for magic OOCly is a big “No-No” in a lot of magic groups so you should really avoid it. Also magic should really be a way to add some flavor to your RP, if you feel you need magic in order to have fun Roleplay then I’d really recommend you spend more time without it till you change that opinion.

I really love this post and the take, but I want to put forth another perspective that I’ve seen while working with now players, and just playing myself. There are main characters in certain areas, you just don’t start out as a “main character” in some big group, you earn it through dedication both IRP and OOC. The people who tend to be in the forefront of events and RP taking place are usually people who have dedicated years to the server and earned the trust of people to reach that position. And even with these people being “in the forefront”, not all the RP revolves around them. Let’s say for example, you play a human maid in the Augustine Palace(“royal” palace of Oren, one of the biggest nations). You might not feel like the main character because the people playing Princes and Princesses are getting more attention, but that attention is earned, and you are still getting RP as well, you just aren’t the center of the RP. Not everyone needs to be the “main character” or antagonist, and most new players learn that after a few months. A lot of times being the person who isn’t noticed in a room can actually provide a much more interesting outlook on RP and lead to amazing chances for development.

Nikolas Kovachev stood at the door to the Kovachev store as Nicole worked her stand. “Come get an Imperial Toy Soldier!” The young Kovachev boy would shout at each person came up to the girl’s stand.

When you create most of your characters do you have a plan for them at the start or do you usually just go with the flow? What has been your favorite event to take part in(either a big ST event or an event that was really important to one of your characters)?

I hope you enjoy whatever you do with your time off of LOTC! Don’t get mad when i pest you to play bedwars or something! also why did you have to add that picture;-; I’d just gotten done crying over the pk then the tears just come pouring back out.
