Post #2001
The ring of fire, in it's current state. It is growing more, and recently a meteor hit nearby, containing a chest with 2 orbs.
Two orbs have been destroyed

Guys my account is: almatthi
please addme to the whitelist!!
-
Why aren't you allowed to destroy the sign?
Also, I'm pretty sure I got one of my chests swept clean, so I thought it was allowed. Sorry, brah, I only took 1 iron ingot.
Edited:
Wait, so you people are getting MORE orbs?
Seriously?
-
is there a water mod in there?

it seems rather realistic
-
wow nice ring
-
It's the water shader mod.
-
No, we though they were destroyed, but they are harder to destroy than you think, portal threw them into a bedrock holeWhy aren't you allowed to destroy the sign?

-
And the server crashed too.
-
oh god what am I going to do now?
I can't possibly do this homework that I've been putting off, no sir.
-
So i could finally make bank a coat of arms.
-
You should also make a faction description
-
Which, only makes my idea that that bedrock hole is a portal into some wizard's den stronger. You tossed the orbs over to the den and they, willing to further corrupt Mankind, sent them back.
A shame everyone is against the Malleus, though. I'm obviously crippled to fuck, Daniel offered me peace, but Forge is under Zhelvolk, not Divitia.
-
We can come up with a treaty if you want (Maybe)
Bear in mind it will be on Zhelvolk and Divitia's terms.
-
I trust the Forge hasn't been harmed.
-
I saw some pits there.
Go and make new place
-
It has, but not by us.
It appears your "gods" have seen your violent actions, and refusing to surrender as a form of heresy in its own. There is a strange ring surrounding the forge and every so often the place is thundered upon, causing some destruction.
Edited:
Also, don't start making a new place, if you want that peace treaty to come through. If the treaty comes along, it WILL regulate where you can rebuild, and what can be built.
-
I visited Malleus to see the damage, and after seeing Jub's post, I do think people are x-raying.
-
Or an RP event happened?
Edited:
When will server be back up?
-
So, how much longer until the server goes back up? I had a whole evening dedicated to this. :saddowns:
-
Chezhead gave me some oogabooga heresy crushing meteors to use but I told him to use them on Zhelvolk's HQ, not mine, for fuck's sake.
Also, how many chests were ramsacked?
-
When Dragory is online :/
Well we have lots of stuff to be put on wiki.
-
I finished making an article on my character. It probably needs some work, but tell me what you think.

That would have been severely OP.
-
I'd like to get whitelisted for the server;
IGN: ZestyLemons
(I'm Limes bro btw.)
-
Considering the whole point of it was to balance things out, I'm pretty sure it would just take a chunk of your wall or something.
-
Here's what's going on. Since Mallus would pretty much be destroyed easily since they are a single faction against 3, they are given some extra little powers and such (WITHIN REASON, not just *destroy everything ever*) to make up for that. Otherwise, everyone teams up on them, they are dead, and less and less factions until one single faction remains, ala Meinheim. Anyone from that server can remember how horribly OP that was.
When you said I should damage their fort a little with holy powers, I thought you meant the place they took over. I used some commands to make a large crater in the center of it, and some broken bits on the walls, nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bit of dirt and 15 minutes.
I've been doing other things as well. For example, there's two orbs flying around right now. There's the one that was found in the crevice, but was split into 8 pieces, but is still just one orb broken into pieces. The other one in the crater found by SGJohny1337 is of severe evil and corruption, and gives bad luck and an abundance of evil around the holder, as demonstrated by the large amounts of mobs. Divitia has no idea what to do with this either other than construct a chamber far below ground to hold it within before we can make a decision.
The large ring above Divitia is a sign from the demons, Tobba will interpret it.
The large ring around the previous Mallus base is designating the presence of the holy power of Mallus' god. The mysterious events will stop once either Mallus is wiped out, Forge is retaken by Mallus, or another orb of light is found (still out there somewhere!).
There, explained it. As said before, if you really don't like this sort of stuff, I would love feedback. I'm just trying to make this more than your average server, as well as making sure that a single faction doesn't take over everything, and a little mystery and story is added to the server and general lore.
Edited:
Also, leave orbs up to me and the other moderators. Orbs need to be regulated and carefully cataloged, but there's a general plan for the story. Don't make any sort of story elements without our permission.
-
But... the orbs were my concept. Me and Ratherman found them.
-
I actually created 7 of them. They "split" from the first one.
Unless Dan totally threw that out.
Edited:
But I guess he did because then there would be 8 original orbs. And I recall there being only 7.
-
No, they were me and Dan's "intellectual" property in a sense
In DnD and WoW RP, if you create a fictional, plot enhancing item, it's either
1. Against the rules for someone who didn't create the item to make up more additions to the properties or actions of the item
2. Extremely rude to do so if it isn't against the rules
You can see why this would be. What if I wanted to orbs to have taken an entirely different direction in plot than this? What if I intended them to end up in the hands of a villian? Although it isn't really a big deal for me since I know you are all new to the RP scene, taking the idea out of someone's hands and running with it generally isn't accepted in roleplay. I'm just saying so that when the next time I try to create story for the server, people don't take one look with it and make it shoot out in 5 hundred directions that are the exact opposite of what I wanted.
EDIT- Again, I'm making sure you know that I'm fine with how the orbs are being handled story-wise. Chez and Tobba are doing a fantastic job. It's just something I wanted to bring up.
-
This, a million times this.
Regardless of what everyone else thinks, TB and Dan are the ones that started the roleplay with the 'orbs' and it's their decision to determine how it unfolds, how many orbs there are, what their properties are, etc.
-
I would say that was the case except me and TB are still only players. Chez remains DM so to speak, and as such the decision falls to him.
Incidentally, through correspondence with Malleus I am prepared to seriously negotiate a peace treaty if both Zhevolk and Lord Chez would be willing to hear it.
-
Good point, I'll lay back and stop micro-managing the RP. Just /tell me if you think there's some sort of god-power or miracle that needs happening, such as those meteors, some sort of explosion, or something like that.
Think of yourselves as both the film directors and actors, and me as a CGI person; making the "scene" more exciting, realistic, and fun.
Edited:
Sure, just run the demands by me first. I don't want any human sacrifices and such, or to stop our expansion into the worlds beyond ours.
Edited:
Also, to clarify war rules, if you declare war on someone, make the proper checks (does the enemy have half or more of your forces?), and after that period of the 15 minutes of preparation time for the opposing force is up, you can invade a city or fortress of another faction. If you drive everyone out of it (Everyone is gone from the mass of claimed land), claim more than 50% of it, or generally when an admin says so (If everyone is encased in bedrock and refuses to leave to "wait out" the enemy, the admin may make a decision to resolve that sort of instance), the land is all surrendered to the attackers.
-
Don't let me intrude haha.
I love what you guys have going on right now. Consider the idea of the orbs server property right now.
-
Was bored; made this: http://ageofmines.net/wiki/Player%3ASGjohny1337
Since noone is continuing the story of what happened beforehand, in my character I am taking the previous story as character backstory.
-
After reading what I have to say, this has turned into more of a Forum RP than a Board Game RP, ala Dungeons and Dragons.
Which would you guys rather like?
A forum RP sort of deal, where players can create artifacts (For example, this enderpearl is an orb of power) within reason (No "This orb gives me god mode!" sorts of things), and the admins will occasionally do magical god power activities relating to the player created story (Non-admin Bob "finds" a mysterious sword in a crater, which he later asks an admin to make this sword shoot lightning out of. The admin decides it is okay, and grants this wish.).
The D&D route would make it so all "artifacts" and story elements would be admin-controlled, so if someone finds a magic sword, no one can claim it has magic powers except admins, who would regulate the story in a way. (You can still war without admin permission, but no creating special artifacts that effect the story.)
Rate Useful for the Forum RP dealio, and Rainbows for the D&D Dungeon Master sort of thing.
-
If i made a wall, and some made a hole to enter.
Would that be breaking the rule of : Do not break/place blocks in order to enter enemy fortresses, buildings or other player-built structures.
Even if the person not was a enemy but neutreal.
Not pointing fingers here... just want to get it clear.
-
I'm in favor for a combo.
The admins can do all of the DM'ing stuff during events, and the players consult with the admins about story made artifacts aswell. It's encouraged to write about artifacts or events in the thread so people who weren't there can respond IC.
-
If this is about earlier, you couldn't just block us from getting to a key part of a quest.
Edited:
Speaking of all this talk about creation of artifacts and such, can I make my own dungeon?
Not asking for creative mode or anything (although that would make it faster than having to go to my stronghold and mine the required blocks) I've just wanted to build a big dungeon.
-
I'm going to say this:
For small scale RP it should be the forum kind
For large scale (The orbs) it should be dungeon mastered
For subordinate (Substory of large scale) RP it should be situational, so we are not on some action move script (DnD) and we are not in a shitty fan fic (Forum) of an RP.
-
So, is the server going to be up soon?
