Happy Easter - your 2nd favorite Jew (after Jesus)

Please bring back villainy blacklists. Tired of dealing with bad actors that run up to interrupt an event to initiate combat, and then promptly emote "runs away screaming" once CRP is called.

I think a larger scale battle is far more interesting than a slaughter where pvpers hop into a city, kill a few random roleplayers, and leave. As I said, I think the fairest compromise is having two types of raids: a raid with a one hour notice and siege equipment permitted, and a short-notice raid without siege equipment.

Raid tools should only be allowed when defenders get a one hour notice. Very cringe that raiders can insta hop over walls and slaughter civillians because people couldn't rally on a 5 minute notice lol

I think the biggest problem the server faces currently is pvp unionism. Back in the day, pvpers would play within actual nations, but now, almost all the pvpers on the server are a part of a single group that uses their mechanical skill to control server politics that they have no actual stakes in--all for the sake of clicks. This has created a rather toxic server environment that has made fun conflict impossible. From bad faith actors to moderators and a certain admin that enable such behaviors, my experience on the server has drastically diminished in recent months.

Norlandic Flyting Tournament ((Friday 8/18, 5 PM EST)) By the Authority and Will of the King of Norland FOREWORD Flyting, the art of wordplay to belittle one's opponent, is an ancient Norlandic tradition that has fallen out of fashion in recent decades.

Our Will be known to all on the 24th of Thoromir’s Plight, 467 FifAe at Vjardengrad, Kingdom of Norland, BY THE BLOOD OF THE HERALD Balon Eiriksson Ruric, King of Norland, High Chieftain of the Rurikkid, Jarl of Vjardengrad, Defender of The Red Faith, Bulwark of the Norlandic People Hilda Eiriksson Ruric, Queen of Norland, Master of War, Captain of the Red Cloaks

The real issue with pvp is the pvpers union. Call cope all you want, but as a former member of the union, it sucks for the server and conflict in general.
