Quantifiable Mana [Lore addition/Amendment?]
LoTC's Next Top Model replied to Apotolofo's topic in Debate
the problem with systems like this is that they either completely destroy void magic, or they do literally nothing and are pointless. one's actively bad, and the other is "why bother". controversial opinion- if you let a void mage cast six t5 spells on you you deserve the L. you just let them get, what, twenty consecutive uninterupted emotes and DONT expect them to win? cmon bro. -
damn, its pride month

[✗] [Rewrite] Ologs - Krug's Indomitable
LoTC's Next Top Model replied to Panashea's topic in Denied Lore
i have rp'd with maybe half a dozen ologs this map, and they exclusively may as well have been spongebob characters one step away from literally emoting shitting themselves. i think the "you're busted overpowered but also genuinely mentally disabled" is a kind of character archetype that only appeals to people who want to make non-serious troll characters going "hurr durr" then punching a hole straight through someone's chest, which is not the sort of roleplay niche i think we should encourage in any form. i'm sure there are decent olog players, i have not roleplayed with the horde community at large in many months and i am therefore limited in this experience, but i have yet to encounter them and see no reason to keep olog in it's current form. all that being said, i actually like the vibe here. i see no issues with the magics they have access to considering virtually everything except housemagery, bardmancy, and some type of shamanism will remove all of their special olog abilities, and therefore have no balance consideration problems. -
[✗] [Rewrite] [Voidal Feat] - Voidal Eminence
LoTC's Next Top Model replied to Shadeleaf's topic in Denied Lore
people with 5 mas in magic get blacklisted or warned literally all the time lmao. this spell, in particular, i feel is just a bad idea. it's going to cause a LOT of confusion and people being weird, and the benefit, overall, i think is not very high. it reduces magic identity imo. -
[✗] [Rewrite] [Voidal Feat] - Voidal Eminence
LoTC's Next Top Model replied to Shadeleaf's topic in Denied Lore
i look at affectionate casting and i see an endless horde of "actually my life evo summons are made out of fire it hurts you when you stab them". -
i remember a couple years ago when min-maxxer players started playing asian characters and all of them talked using rs in places of ls and shit like that going "herro herro" and i said "isn't this cringe" and i was told by them "no that's actually how they talk" and for like a year and a half there were a bunch of genuine yellow-face stereotypes just walking around.

lady truthful LADY TRUTHFUL | Try Harder
LoTC's Next Top Model replied to LADY TRUTHFUL's topic in Empire of Man
Within the Castle Clairmont, an absent-minded Viscount is staring, empty-eyed, at an unimportant bit of space upon the wall. A procrastinative reverie to avoid the mental toil of the mound of paperwork before him- One which is interrupted, when a maid steps in to offer the lad the newest in courtly gossip. "Oh- A Revelry in Rethel? Such would be a swell idea!" He proclaims, having entirely misunderstood the point of the article from the outset. Once he concludes with the segment focusing on himself, his attention once more returns to the paperwork. "... I might have had Phoebe do this work, the whole time?" He questions to the open air, the maid long since having left. -
realistically, i don't think any of the people playing cringe characters at 5-9 would stop being cringe if they had to be 10-14. this is as performative as a change as "ban all romance rp" in what it would actually do for the server imo (functionally nothing). i recently (like a year ago at this point. . .) started a new persona, fresh from the stork at age 5, and i had a reasonably good time with the other wave of young roleplayers in the empire at that time, whom all were, in my experience, fairly normal. the exception was people who were playing young characters and did nothing of substance, whose characters then grew into adults who continue doing nothing of substance. ultimately i think it's a player problem more than a systematic one. this is also a very good point. it would just slog down a /ton/ of rp for no particular benefit, because the good roleplayer you got will probably be a good five year old and a good ten year old, but the pvp goon who has never --'d an emote in their life will troll just as much at 5 and 10 and 15 and 20 and 25 and 30 and 35 and etc.

there is now, by my count, 72 combined capitals, vassals, and settlements on the server.
-
functionally, to me, if these are now costed at approx what realms were before, and realm prices have gone up, settlements arn't actually a new system at all. these are slightly cheaper and with five (5) less signatures, and in exchange you also have way less rights LMAO. the actual functional mechanics of this going forward is that the currently existing "legacy" realms are going to be the actual bosses of the server, and these settlements are just realms but worse. anyone who could've raised 10k could also raise 15k. anyone who could've rallied 20 people could've rallied 25. this has just made proper realm ownership unachievable for most of the community, and given a watered down slightly more attainable version of the old system in it's place. i don't think settlements realistically solve any issues at this current pricing structure. it just seems like a nerf for new communities that might want to try and sprout up.

what are the craft's opinions on piss christ?
personally i find it relatively juvenile in concept, but i cannot deny that some of the shots serrano was able to capture had striking use of colour and lighting.- Show previous comments 2 more

Subsequently, he has explicitly rejected the assertion that he was motivated by blasphemy, saying instead that it was intended as a serious work of Christian art. He said, "What it symbolizes is the way Christ died: the blood came out of him but so did the piss and the shit. Maybe if Piss Christ upsets you, it's because it gives some sense of what the crucifixion actually was like...I was born and raised a Catholic and I've been a Christian all my life."
