  1. I am now Rayna Star's lawyer. I argue against any skygods that the 'LOTC' on these keychains definitely stands for .... Loss of Thrust Control. These keychains are to raise awareness for that.
  2. Dame Viktoriya wonders ... What the **** is going on. After reading both papers from either side, she returns to Krugmar to cook for her bruddahs. "I have lived to see at least 10 Orenian Emperors live and die. This is nothing new."
  3. In the dead of the night, the corpse left within the rubble had gone missing -- leaving only bits of charred flesh and an indent behind. Some odd mark is laid in its place, drawn in a viscous black liquid muddled by mud.
  4. A lone Dame, aged many decades, reads over the flier passed on by the wind. Her tired eyes scanned over the letter, and with her earthen talons, gently folded it away and into the crevices of her book case. Many times had she sought her old friend to speak to, and to reminisce with. And many times, had such been brushed off. Though sadness gnawed at her, she shook her head and went not to mourn the woman, but to make sure her poor, feeble old sap of a husband didn't follow suit in killing himself. "Didn' care te' write a letter. You'll be missed, but ... T'ere's more pressing tasks at hand." She recalled finding out the pair had married with some jealousy nigh ... Thirty? Forty? years ago and had been outraged, for she'd loved Primrose -- "High hells, I burnt down t'eir home once, didn't I? I mean, t'ey didn't know, but ..." And she scoffed. "Now I seek to ensure the safety of the man I wanted to kill all those years ago. Humorous you are, bastard fate. I can't let any more of te' old ISAfolk die jus' yet."
  5. Not sure if this has been said but Maybe restrict how many tiles someone can have by activity (as in, a nation that has 2 people a week and is on its last leg wouldnt be able to tend to 5 huge tiles without them being overtaken)? Or stop nations from buying titles just to block other nations off like we see with Oren, Haense, n Norland.
  6. My life hack is just don't tell people you're trans 😎👍 Has worked well for me, I just get called slurs for being Autistic (For real though, I'm surprised at how homophobic/phobic in general this server can be)
  7. I roleplay eating it and exploding. Anyone who does otherwise is lorebreaking
  8. we have so many random alchemy potions that are considered Rare, I feel like there's starting to be an overflow of pot recipes - they're all creative, yes, but 

    god does every player need their own unique alchemy addition just to never spread it and leave it unused?

     

    [Not @ any specific lore, just a thought I've had for a while.]

  9. I do like the idea, but some of the potions seem a little recycled from other lore and all of them are locked behind being Rare 😔
  10. this is supposed to be a meme, no facts allowed 😡
  11. LOTC has been really negative lately, what with wars, bans, and whatnot. Yet some crazy people want to make this server more "safe" and "positive", I say, let's make it more negative! A cesspool, even. Air out your dirty laundry. Become toxic. Pretend you're a thirteen year old in 2012 on an XBOX 360 voice chat lobby on Halo. this a meme please don't actually do that personally, I believe our standard for skins is much too low. if they don't look like the image below (on the right), you're frankly just a bad skinner and you should not be alive.
  12. Pancho conspiracy to ban twi!?!? Shadow admin!?!?!? Real!
  13. if I had a quarter for every time I've pointed out a dude on here has been weird with minors, called overdramatic for it, and then the dude gets banned a year later after being outed as a pedo I'd have 2 quarters. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.☠️

  15. The Four Horsemen of 'Immersive' Roleplay Hello gamers, it's TreeSmoothie and welcome to another Youtube debate post. Ah, immersion. You download shaders that wreck your PC for it and handcraft emotes of looking at people that make it seem like you've studied the ways of the Thesaurus for years. I believe LOTC players take immersion way too seriously sometimes, and other times, not seriously enough. All of the examples written in bright green are things I've personally encountered and seen happen. Logging Off You're in an event that bridges two playerbases that tend to hate eachother -- druids and dark mages -- together to fight after some massive planning has taken place OOC to make sure everyone's cool about it. Surprisingly, it's going very smoothly! Of course, it's late and the host has to pause it for a moment to grab some dinner; probably for 10, 20 minutes. A message pops up in LOOC. "No. You're not logging off." ... Are they speaking to the ST hosting this like that? "You're not logging off. I want my event!" Apparently, the player was so angry in VC their group decided to kick them out. Well, maybe now everyone's chill! While fighting, you accidentally deal a killing blow to a player, and they say they wish to PK. Oh, shoot - you need to make the death memorable, at least. As you put some more time into the emote and post it, you realize it's 3 AM on a school night and after you and the player finish with the scene, you emote grabbing the body to burry it later and say you've got to log off, when another player begins raging in LOOC. Oh god. Not again. "My character is trying to save her. Don't log." Their character was 24 blocks away, and the dead body & your character were engulfed in Deadbreath; they couldn't see either of you at all. "I don't really care if she's already dead, if you log I'm calling mods." On the verge of sleep, you shrug, shut your computer and go to sleep while they continue berating the others in your party. They did indeed try to get you banned. Often roleplay will drag on for hours, usually very late or before someone has to go do something. If someone's begun combat with you, nine times out of ten they'll not let you go. I do understand this because people also do use it as an excuse if they're losing, but threatening said-player, berating them, et Cetera will do nothing if they do intend on logging regardless. In the end, this is a game of pixels and Moderators cannot put you in jail IRL. Probably?😼 I'm not entirely sure what could fix this large of an issue, but rules and regulations for it would benefit a lot. Even something as small as, "If a party has to log off for more than x minutes, both sides of the fight have to agree to either allow both to have memory of it, or neither will and the situation is voided" to cut down on the risk of metagaming (a player tries to fight you for being a criminal/etc, they take off your mask in the fight but suddenly have to go. Suddenly you see your character's namemc face on a shoddy forum Wanted post). Havoc You've just survived the utter destruction of a city by feral demons. All the trees have been scorched, no buildings have been left standing, dozens of corpses litter the ground, blood soaks into the earth, the crops are dead, you're an orphan now or whatever. You go, "Man. I hope Elvenesse will be alright after this!" and leave after your character helps someone mend a wound. You visit again a day later, and ... The city's been completely reconstructed in that timespan. Those dead people are alive again. There's also a second new city built. "Oh. Magic, I guess." After something is destroyed in your town/city/etc, it's only reasonable you want it repaired. But many times, especially in the example, catastrophic events can be completely ignored and their seriousness erased because you can just rebuild or repaste. Did your entire city just burn down after you killed a demon lord? Oh well, immediately fixed. It erases roleplay that could be done and the consequences of peoples' actions not attempting to do xyz to prevent things -- much like map changes and other events, because 'Well, I'll just respawn/make another character'. Fear & Trolling You're an Orc ransacking ... An unnamed city. Their banners have turned to ash, blood pools at your feet and you bask in the glory of a victorious battle. Everyone has fled. On the forums, you write a post about the won warclaim and in the replies, the inhabitants of the city write things like, "Elfname chortles slyly as they sip tea. 'Those brutes didn't do anything'." "Childname roars as they rip the head clean off of an unnamed orc. They wipe orc from their blade. They eat an orc. This child has killed orcs in this war and you should see that." "Humanname shrugs. 'Free toilet paper! This letter is trash and I wish to proclaim that! Did you know this letter sucks?', as they throw it in the fireplace." This one is definitely beating a dead horse, as it's been brought up many times, yet it hasn't changed. Of course you can't force people to roleplay a certain way, but there can be barriers to prevent low quality emotes like these. And actually, there are! Among some of the rules for the forums, two include not writing one-sentence emotes that add nothing to the topic, and another is to put memes/ooc chat in spoilers. Yet if you click on any of the recent war topics, these are almost all of the replies. That, and 'R' and 'Reserved' comments that are never edited (I've been guilty of this before, too). Moderators seem to pick and choose while handling these rules. When I did it, I was given two different warnings without expiration dates that're still on my profile about 2 years later. But then, when you check about just any topic, you can see moderators and other staff doing the same exact thing. Ghost Raiding This is a classic one; during times of war, you assemble a 20-man rally to either raid during 3 AM est, or to raid an entirely dead and empty city. After getting the single player that was likely just afking there, they kill them and write a forum post of killing 'a hundred men' and that 'their guardforce/army/etc' have failed them. I can't write much about this topic unfortunately because I've no personal experience in doing this/being killed in one, but it genuinely has the same energy the people in the example of Fear & Trolling. If you wish to write posts like these, engage in actual combat and create roleplay between your playerbases. Encourage healthy, immersive conflict rather than plundering a random vassal. 1 Person ≠ 100, or even 1,000, People Killing 1 Person at a time the server is dead at because you know you won't meet resistance is not a Win. It's just embarrassing. not gonna lie I just wrote this because I was bored of seeing all these new war posts that do exactly as the stuff described in Ghost Raiding, or people emoting stuff like the example in Fear & Trolling. I hardly log on anymore so the forums is how I spectate LOTC, and it's frankly annoying to see this type of stuff over and over again clogging up the recent posts.
  16. The Grubgoth squints down at the flier with a frown, cursing Elvenkind under her breath. "At least, Haense and Urguan are now sieging Orenian land ... How fun this will be!"
  17. Dame Viktoriya / Yhazlak / Astaroth / many names approves of this even though she's had 11 children.
  18. Yhazlak glanced down at the flier, furrowing her brows. She felt ... Conflicted about this.
  19. YEAAA time to compete again (sti l l awaiting my stuff from last month's though :[ ) IGN: TreeSmoothie Category: Art Submission:
  20. Name: Dame Viktoriya DeNurem Age: Not important. Don't ask. I'm immortal. Gender: None ...? Female? Woman. Race: N/A I'm an Orenian knight, and I've only had 10 or so husbands. They're all dead and/or have disappeared, you needn't worry.
  21. An old mage screams into the void. "VELHRUN! VYR DAMNED HOWEVER-MANY-GREATS-GRANDSON IS RUINING YOUR FAMILY!" Grimacing at the mention of the Hopes, she crumples the missive up in one crystalline talon and tosses it into the disposal. "A shame, a shame. I had high expectations for the young Darkwood. Eesh ... What a downgrade."
  22. me watching liches, azdrazi, and wights do slice of life rp while disguised as elves:
  23. Somewhere, atop a shrine of Aglazek, the spirit of gnomes, a small clay effigy is set.
