Backstory.


Centuries ago, Aceon was a Much larger Continent, Magic was Used freely by all the races, And Disputes were settled in battles of Honor. However, a man of immense power Faltered in his efforts to bring world peace, By Exterminating the other races, And allowing humanity to Rule the world without oppisition. His spell of death split the land, And half of Aceon separated. the spell sent both land masses drifting away from each other. as the  Eye witness inhabitants of Old aceon died, the story of the Other continent became nothing more then a children's tale. Centuries later, Aceon, whose political stabilitie was utterly destroyed by rumors of the Man's intentions. Now aceon is in chaos, With mutliple factions fighting for complete control. The New Continent, However, has not forgotten it's distant Brother. Named Novarium, After an ancient language for "New beginning." Is also in a state of War. The Humans on this land mass were strong supporters of the Man who seeked to ensure their dominance in the world. And they hold a hatred towards all Non humans. Racists in the truest sense of the word. The Humans of this Land Have forged An empire of their own. Novarium is Technologically superior to Aceon, having entered an Era of Enlightenment When The Emperor, A Powerful and charismatic warlord. Took leadership of the new world. The Emperor, A man who seemingly Appeared from nowhere, Has secretely Made Dark Deals with Forces not of this world- or aceon. These dark entities, demons, ghosts, the name is irrelevant, Have blessed him with Incredible insight, Though he Dare not make the Same mistake of using magic to achieve his goal, unlike his ancestor, The Emperor has trickled the information into the Private business owners of the Novarium Empire. And This has led to Many New Weapons, household items, and even methods of transportation. Though the political situation in Aceon may be Bad, Novarium is on the verge of Revolution, Human rebels join with the Dwarven republic, The Ogre Kingdom, The Elven Kingdom, And anyone, or thing, else that will aid them in their struggle to Stop the Emperor's Percieved genocide, To Keep up Morale, And distract from the Oppisition at home, The Emperor Has Commisioned Lord Admiral Dantius To Lead an Expedition to "The Old World." Novarium is centuries More advanced then the land of Aceon. The Expedition Benefits from Powerful Naval Vessels, which have sailed from far side of the world, Novarium, to Aceon, a distance no Local Vessel could Accomplish. The Expedition's arsenal Ranges from Swords, Bayonets, to Firearms such as The "Brown Bess" Musket, used by the army, and the Elliot gentleman Flintlock Pistol. They also have A small detachment of Canons, and a select few personel capable of using these canons. The Expedition's relatively Fragile Foothold In aceon, is Protected by a very small ammount of Novarium Soldiers and crew, However, their Firepower is enough to repel Most enemies. their base was Once a Secret, as they never left survivors. However, With the Construction of Their Star fort, "Fort Endurance" They can no longer remain completely Unseen. They have therefore Taken on a role as Relativly Peaceful, And No longer attack At random. They Are willing to trade with the Locals, and Seek a Diplomatic Approach to the Aceon Theatre.
The Lord Admiral has Left His main fleet At see, Anchored at a small island, Wilst sending "The Heart of Novarium" a Sailboat to Estabalish a Landing, Novarium is Willing to cooperate with the locals, However, any tresspassers into their Fort, will be caught by the Novarium Army, which is fully authorised to Kill,  beat, or do Anything they so wish to The tresspasser(s). A short wile before Novarium Finally announced itself to Aceon, Rumors had aroused of a monster living near the valley The Starfort is Neatly Nestled Beside, As noone who ventured that way was ever seen again. Novarium officials have Proudly claimed to have Killed this Beast, and hope that the Aceon people can rest easilly now.
Basic Information.
The Expedition Has 2 Branches, The 14th Novarium Navy, led by Hektor Dantius, The 56th Conerean Highlanders, Led by Major Mchugh,

Fair enough, hope to see you soon. :D

Seeing as the liklihood is we will be generating a new map I have decided to fully join the Novarium Expedition. I know we have spoken before but I could act as a sort of scout setting up a Novarium outpost a little away from the ship to make it easy for me to send back materials I collect while trading with the locals and perhaps setting up relations? I already have a scout type skin but if you have any preferences on a type of skin or different job I will accept it.

What religion are you guys?

The Novarium Empire Believes In One thing: the Power of Human will.
That isnt to say there aren't a few People who would hide their beliefs. everyone gets to choose what their beliefes are.

I'm going to send evangelists into your Expedition then.

Sweet I made it thank you!

I'll be a trader it sounds good. I'll set up that trading railroad that we discussed as soon as the map reset vote is settled. Until then I'll just sort of keep an eye on the forums.

Alright then. I'm not adding anyone else's name to the list untill their White-list app is accepted, But anyone interested, whitelist or no, can still app.

Bobby just wondering but why does our faction dislike almost every faction? Is it cause we are newcomers and being wary or because they all have principals our faction hates? Just curious oh and also you need to update the faction relationships (cause there are new factions) and the crew etc.

Add us to your faction relations, Uncle Joe.

Assuming being a trader means being a merchant does that mean I need another Novarium skin or have the merchants been given official crew uniforms?

I'm Glad you Brought that Up, Demonizer, I'll geto to work on a Merchant skin, Unless you had something Very expensive Looking already Decided. :P

nope whatever you make would be 10x better than something I would choose or make, plus I wouldn't make it very Novarium themed.  ;D

EDIT: my merchant would have a tophat, monocle, pipe and an expensive suit... He would basically look like an English steriotype

Novarium theme = 17th Century Apperal, but with More robo Body Parts. :P here's what i got so far. The color scheme, for once, is Changeable if you want, aslong as it isnt Orange, black, Blue, red, cause those colors are already Used by the other branches of Novarium, Hope you Like it.

"robo body parts" we think exactly alike I was thinking of customising a robot arm but I would probably destroy the uniform in the process and purples ok so I'm fine on the colour

EDIT: Do you have someone in mind for the head merchant position or is it open for application?

If you want it, it's you'res. Besides, you're the -only- merchant i think.

oh, and i'll add a clockwork arm in a bit, hand, fore arm, or shoulder length?

Yeah I'll take it, everyone likes power  ;) and I'll have it shoulder legnth if you would kindly.

I'll get to work on it, Right now i'm playing empire total war for uh.... Reference!

Damn Minecraft Won't let me only make it One arm, if you want to use this, go ahead, but i think it looks awful. you can always Icly have robotic arm(s) Under the Suit, And just add gloves to the skin you already have.

I believe it was only 9 ingots ;)

Ravenking factory is now partially operational with it's true purpose hidden from even Admiral Dantius himself. A piece of information was leaked by a worker about dangerous mechanisms and devices that were being used in the factory. An investigator infiltrated the factory in working hours and found no devices or tools that matched the description. The investigator made a report detailing all items that were used in the factory and concluded that the factory itself was a distraction and that there was more to the information than disclosed. Since then the investigator has dissapeared leaving many sceptical as to what is actually going on in Ravenking.

Off-topic, Sorry for this bobby, But I saved the song for you mark. Its all backedup

The pact of alliance between Novarium and the DEAP has been broken. But I'm sure that's not news.

tell me the details here, rago, because we did nothing to break an alliance, unless you mean DEAP is betraying us. just some clarifacation please.

Quin told me when we allied with the Legion we broke the alliance. They wanted to destroy the Legion and if they had attacked then... After that it's really self explanatory but I think we might have angered a few factions by protecting the Legion.

wow, it's a bit overwhelming to think that this is all because of xsteve killing someone of Legion without reason. we took him prisoner. he joined us. he defected back to DEAP during attempted negotiation of a cease fire. war. loss...

I think that's how it went anyway.

Nour attacked us, We attacked xteve. Simple as that.

I find it funny how quin doesnt seem to understand politics here, We did Nothing to break the Treaty. We were going to take the legion as a protectorate, which wouldnt have been against the terms of oru alliance But, regardless, We never Went through with it, Only said we were going to, And that The war would be paused Untill a United factions meeting could be held. Then i find out legion has been destroyed, and deap has broken our alliance, this is The pinnacle of metagaming, seeing as I onyl mentioned the protectorate oocly to quin.

Centuries ago, Aceon was a much larger continent, magic was used freely by all the races, and disputes were settled in battles of honor. However, a man of immense power faltered in his efforts to bring world peace, by exterminating the other races, and allowing humanity to rule the world without oppisition. His spell of death split the land, and half of Aceon separated. the spell sent both land masses drifting away from each other. as the  eye witness inhabitants of Old Aceon died, the story of the other continent became nothing more then a children's tale.

Took leadership of the new world. the emperor, A man who seemingly appeared from nowhere, Has secretely made dark deals with forces not of this world or Aceon. These dark entities, demons, ghosts, the name is irrelevant, Have blessed him with Incredible insight, Though he Dare not make the Same mistake of using magic to achieve his goal, unlike his ancestor, The emperor has trickled the information into the private business owners of the Novarium Empire, and This has led to many new Wwapons, household items, and even methods of transportation. Though the political situation in Aceon may be bad, Novarium is on the verge of revolution, Human rebels join with the Dwarven republic, The Ogre Kingdom, The Elven Kingdom, and anyone, or thing, else that will aid them in their struggle to stop the Emperor's percieved genocide, To keep up morale, And distract from the oppisition at home, The Emperor has commisioned Lord Admiral Dantius To Lead an expedition to "The Old World." The Lord Admiral has left his main fleet at sea, anchored at a small island, whilst sending "The Heart of Novarium" a steam powered boat to scout out a suitable Landing. 'The Heart of Novarium' has nestled in a small cove, hidden by trees, and apparently, in the middle of nowhere. Lord Admiral Dantius has arrived to secure a foothold, and make first contact with the Aceon peoples.

Basic Information.
The Expedition has 3 branches, The 14th Novarium Navy, led by Hektor Dantius, The 47th Regiment of Foot, Led by Captain Grenellin, and 'The Jewel of Industry', a Merchant vessel.
Rules.
Don't steal, or grief, at all.

I luff the new skins, and ranks.

Sorry I haven't been joining. I'm just waiting for the server to update to 1.65(I think that's it)

i cant downgrade, so dont feel bad, i dont expect anyone on till the server is updated.

I cant get over the amazingness of that poster. Was it original work or more of a copy and paste project?

You'd have to ask rarmae, i take no credit for it. Unless you count inspiration, cause i kinda made the Skin, right? :P

If anyone is Unaware, The lord admiral is dead, A message has been sent to the admirality of novarium, and a replacement is on his way, it will take a wile, and in the mean time, The Colonel is in charge, and The commodore is the acting admiral.

How did he die?

I killed him.

was it RPed or did you decide to duke it out with an admin watching?

RPed.
Thats the only way to fight on the server.
Only dumb retards fight by hitting.

Its all good though, I avenged the Lord Admiral via blunderbus to geccoys head.

I'll be returning as the lord admiral's replacement when bukkit 1.6 is released. in the mean time, I'll probally just play a generic soldier.
http://www.youtube.com/v/UxBN-kXM7xY&autoplay=1

can we hear the RPed account of the fight, then?

well. it basically went like this:
The Lord admiral is walking past the merchant district billboard, and the map, when a Large ship pulls in, with several servants/slaves and Lord blair and geccoy's characters, emperor thanatos and Emperess hypnos, or soemthing, they make first contact for their faction, and Dantius notices that the emperess seems to be able to Sap the energy of the emperor, and manipulate him, The Emperor wants to make peace with Novarium badly, but The Lord admiral is appauled by their nation, which uses slaves, and hosts fights to the death, Not to mention is districted off and limits Peasant freedoms. He agrees to an alliance, but the emperess Informs him that if he does not Send someone to partake in the Fights, They will not be allies. after some more discussion, they leave, all three of them, but not before Thanatos discovers that he's been used for most of hsi life, thanks to the Admiral's trickery, hypnos admits it all within earshot, thanatos runs away during a lightning storm, and the admiral and emperess go out to find him, the lrod admiral finds him sometime later, and they both head to the Church, The admiral tells him he must kill or capture his sister, and retake the Throne, so as to ensure his people's Future, he agrees, and the admiral hands him a pistol. They wait in ambush, and when the emperess walks in, the admiral steps out of the shadows, weapon aimed, after a heated discussion, she escapes, and they chase after her, a brief fight in the Bank Courtyard, Involving the Admiral Shooting the Emperess in the leg, The emperess hitting the Admiral with a knockout spell, that sends him hurtling backwards into a wall, breaking his arm and a window as he stumbles back. The emperor and the emperess fight some more, and a Noble (comrade British) arrives, and helps the emperess, the emperor disapears after he is knocked out by the same type of spell, and the admiral is taken aboard the Ship. as it is leaving, the Emperor, and Colonel Grenellin arrive, and a brief Shootout from the merchant district raised road, They both board the ship, Meanwile, the Admiral is Unconcious on a bed, with a gun aimed at him by the noble. The Commodore, (hgnturkey) jumps onto the moving vesself from the heart of novarium, and all three Aim at the noble and The Emperess, who now has a knife to the admirals throat, they tell the noble he may leave if he surrenders, and he does so, enrages, the emperess Forces the blade into the admirals neck, Severing all the Arteries, He wakes up from the pain, and tries to fight back, as The Colonel presses a blunderbuss against the side of the emperess's head, and BLows her brains across the Wall, The Admiral dies Spasming Holding his throat. and they all return to VB.

Thats about it.

... wow. So both their empress and our Lord admiral were killed in this fight?

And this was our first contact with what faction? DEAP? A couple members of Novarium (Anyone who came from Legion, such as myself) have already had contact with DEAP before. It may the the first "official" Novarium contact, but I had already had contact.

not deap. we've been in contact with deap Since a week in on the faction.

Infact there was so much contact in the first week, I was literally thrown out the city via steamportal whilst being accused of being a spy. Sort of soured my relationship with them...

I know i'm applying again but i wanted to apply for something other than being a citizen now  :)

This faction is based of The Empire from Fable 3. Bobby you're so silly.

The Raven King? Did you think no one would notice?

took u awhile didnt it?

No, I just didn't bother posting it.

I just looked up "fable 3 ravenking" To see what came up on google, Nothing. The Faction itself, Is A well blended mash of the british empire during the Colonial Era, the American war of independance, and the Napoleanic era, Aswell as A touch of Steampunk (that is actually quite primitive In alot of aspects, weaponry, for example.) And a Tiny Hint of the Imperium of man. This is Not based of Fable 3, though Novarium -is- Set in the Same sort of style and time, so i see how you got that idea.

Sure thing bro.

Google Fable 3 Reaver mask

Eerie Plague doctor-ish Beak, from the balverine Party, Yeah... I still dont get it, Reaver owns a business called Reaver industry I'm P. Sure.

oh, and Rhayken, Patriot? your both accepted. Ill add the new Members to the roster Tomorrow.

do any of you want to explain this?

Do remember we have open relations at the moment and have previously had good trading among us. Do you really want to start a war with a pure Army faction that could possibly be a future ally? It just confuses me.

I have no idea. I can't see a reason why we would attack unless something happened when I wasn't on. It's likely it's not legit, seeing as relations seem to be ok at the moment. Probably someone messing around. In fact I'm pretty sure it's not a Novarium sign seeing as Bobby or Negative would be a little more... proper. If they were issuing a war decleration, rather than nailing a board to your front door telling you we are going to kill you, they would probably do it by message if it wasn't a mutual war. Other than that it happens occasionally and it can be confusing when someone messes around like that. Lastly I don't even know you're vikings yet ICly, I don't know if others do, to me you're just heavily bearded men :D.

yeah i doubt thats real...my guess is, someone is trying to troll us into a war.

Ahh cool. I had a feeling it was left by a smaller faction to make the top two fight. And i guess i was slightly right. Just checking

Archangel, I raped him for it

You guys suck.

You basically said "We don't want this RP so we wont do it."

You guys are terrible.
When shit like this happens, conflicts arise and when you can just dismiss it like "OH IT WAS JUST SOME SMALL GUY" by using metatools, conflict is gone and there's no longer a reason for participation.

We can't all be allies and the metagaming on the minecraft server is something that has never stopped since the first day I hosted for HGN. It's obviously "Not a big deal" but it's annoying when it's an RP server and people refuse to RP anything they "Don't feel like RPing."

I explained OOC, we addressed the issue ICly aswell on the server. The sign may/probably will still bring up RP in the future. Don't jump to conclusions. Furthermore if we didn't put the sign there Novarium isn't going to turn around and tell them we did. It may have resulted in relations turning from whatever they are now to bad or even hostile, but it didn't so there the vikings understood what must have happened... They already had a hunch anyway seeing as relations with Nov have been good for awhile that we wouldn't just turn around and declare war on them.

demon get online! (im all alone)

I can't, I can be on tomorrow but I just came to check the forums and then go revise for my final maths exam tomorrow.

good luck.

the replacement admiral cannot be seen? D:

what?

We need to clear EVERY member that is inactive. There are only a couple of people who are actually active.

about how many people are inactive?

like two. Anyway doesn't matter, because it gives us more power. Basically I explained to Hitman that most people are European and that only two of the people on the f list are inactive

Eh, Sure, Accepted As Military Private.
Welcome to Novarium, Hypherios.

I'd like to request permission, and the needed materials to improve the streets of victory bay, and the surrounding area.

improve? in what way? the streets of victory bay are fine, and look good, in my opinion.

An excuse to get spawned materials, and make off with them, to ruin what little economy is left.

I agree. The streets are better than fine. They are excellent.

Improve as in, add better lighting and road signs, so that newcomers dont get lost. Better lighting meaning street lamps, rather than torches

I think he means the streets leading to VB. If you need equipment you just have to come to me for most things. My character tends to give out equipment to Novarium members free... Although you must know that I'm funding Kargate with resources at the moment so if you ask for certain items like cobblestone, I will have to respectfully decline. Alternatively you can mine the items yourself?

well, ill need glowstone, signs, and wooden planks...so that shouldnt be too hard...

Get wood from trees. Got to nether and mine glowstone.

I'm allowed to go to the Nether? I thought you needed permission or something.

Nope. Well, In character, it'd be better if you asked, seeing as the Base isnt done. But oocly, i have no problem with it.

Oh, ok. But, i still dont know if i have permission to make signs and streetlamps. Oh btw, should i use fences instead of planks for the street lamps?

Use fences and stick a block of glowstone on top, try to keep things somewhat uniform, namean?

glowstone on top? thats not very lanternish

with the right texture pack it is. and what else could we use?

thats retarded.

*A form sits on the lord admirals desk. It is formally written, spanning about two paragraphs. The main message of the form is that the Governor of Kargate, Nathaniel Adrigar, has departed Aceon on a Novarium ship, a few medical reasons are listed on the form, nothing too serious. It also states about the governor picking a replacement to govern Kargate in his absence.*

how is that retarded? it looks like a lantern...

it's not supposed to be a lantern, it's supposed to be a LAMP POST. Like a street light. A light on top of a pole, not the other way around. Got it? Not a lantern that people hold.

Pretty sure they didnt have lamps in medieval times, it was a glass box, that hang from a post, with a candle inside it

Ours, are A Metal Box, with glass sides, and a candle/oildish that sits ontop of a Pole.

yeah, well Medieval times didn't have magic, or teleportation, or portals, or guns, or cyborg parts on people either. Nor was the world made of blocks except for castles and walls.

heh.

But you see, all that falls under fantasy...and unless you fantasize about lamps i dont think they count.

This page is Now dedicated to Intense Lamp and Lantern Discussion.

Intense discussion aye? In that case: The lamps of Novarium fall in the fantasy section. We are fantasizing about lamps. Happy? Most people here seem to agree to keep the lamps the way Bobby made them so... Anymore questions? Cause you don't seem to have any support...

Edit: Also Bobby you missed out JPettys application

Bfranx, i am Putting you incharge of the Top secret Novarium Special Projects Division, an Elite Batch of the greatest Minds Of our Homeland. You have been Tasked By The Lord admiral and by Extension the Emperor Himself: To Create a Better Lamp. I will expect the Prototype LAMP MKII Built in the Cleared Space Behind Victory Bay within the Week, Wherei  Will examine it Extensively. Novarium's Fate rests on your shoulders, Bfranx, Do not Let It Down.

Sure thing (lol seriously?)

Will this lamp have military applications that can be employed on Kargates fortifications?

Can I help ICly? I have a bookstore in the market in VB. I could provide information for research. I would suggest finding a cool way to use fire or lava or something. Mostly because lightstone looks stupid in most texture packs, especially the default one, which I like to stick to.

Bobby can you come on the server?

Well, if you're serious about this....i'll need to know where the cleared area is (only one i found was a safe zone) and how to get to the nether. Yes, ill take any help, this is for all of us, so we can all help if we want...

I know where a portal to the Nether is.

where?

starting from Novarium home, go towards Demonizer's general store, then follow that road strait to the end. You should see a bridge across water that you can hop across to a gravel path. Follow it. The portal is in the middle of the crater and lava. There is a safe path to get there.

Not going to happen since the server's going to be wiped, and Novarium poofed into cyberspace.

Just so you all Know, If The server is wiped, and novarium is forced to lower it's technology level, We will be voiding everything that has happened In aceon, and will be role playing our origonal landing. Our faction will be Slightly different, taking on a much less diplomatic approach to the colonisation of Aceon, and Lord admiral hektor dantius Shall be leading them. This is an oppertunity, If you are a loyalist auxilliary, you may keep your name and rank, and be transferred to the Novarium Army or navy, But you will not be the same character, as the new expedition will have no interest in The Aceon civillians. if you have had a Character who has died, Like i have ,you may bring them back. to make things perfectly clear, If the server is wiped, Everything Novarium has done Will be voided, And we Will Begin over, just as the server has. I'm sorry if that's frustrating to some, it's not what i wanted. but it's an oppertunity to turn the sudden Removal of everything and us being placed back with zero resources, Into an event in it's own sense.

Hmmm, I know you got a nice faction here bobby and you've worked harder on it than anyone else. But dont you think with a server wipe we should get a faction wipe and start... 100% new. I know this will be hard. But it makes most sense and will work out the best. I mean you have to think of it as not a new part of the Aceon world, but a whole other universe... just my opinion but...

Who are you. Why do you care.

I don't think Just because a few people are crying about steampunk i should trash my faction, alot of peopel joined, so obviously it appeals to Alot of people. And Don't worry, We'll Use sailboats like exile said if we have to, Even though it will break our estabalished backstory, and we'll be an entirely different faction, sharing only the name and our characters, You'll see what i mean.

Firstly Turkey um please stop being such a cunt, and secondly Bobby I wrote the ending. So you can start fresh and like land again.

How's he being a cunt?
Don't be mean to my love.

This is stupid, being forced to lower technology on a "Fantasy Roleplay" server. "Woah guys I'm sorry your faction can't be on this server. It's too fantasy- ish. Please become less powerful so it's easier for us to destroy you, kthxbye..."

Quote from: LupusCallidus on 25-06-2011

The only cunt in this thread is you.
You reallly seem to want bobby to start fresh.

I want everyone to start fresh, but if bobby doesn't want to thats cool with me, Im not going to keep asking.

Edit - And geccoy I call turkey a cunt because ever since i left his faction and made a more successful one he gives me crap whenever he can.

How about we all stop bitching about this? You've had MONTHS to come to us and say "This is to powerful, can you change it?". You said nothing, we kept on with our same technology. Now that the server is being wiped and we're the most powerful faction you want us to nerf the fuck out of everything. You had your chance to say something to us, but yet its only come to your attention now. HMMMMMM.

Just like to point out i have no problem with steam... we have coal, its not that hard to add water :D

hah, It's ok Lupus, We're just a little "steamed" that Some people are only now saying they want us gone.

In other news, our two ships were griefed. Thank you ComradeBritish "lightning". Just becuase the server might be reset, doesnt mean people should be griefing. Im going to end this here before I let my anger take over.

If Novarium's current state is voided, I want to help build it up from the beginning and such. It's more fun than being in a town with civilians. If Novarium no longer cares about a diplomatic approach, I think it will change the architecture of how we are building (more military and less civilian) and stuff will be cooler. It would also give me a chance to be more involved.

If I am going to play a game, I want to get some fun from it. So hopefully I will be included.

Bobby, ive had a good idea... :) Im going to PM it to you.

maybe we test out different lamps when we start over XD

I think the whole lamp idea is a step in the wrong direction. Why have street lights when you can have the lights inside the floor?

Using lava under glass in a pattern looks really cool. Unfortunately, there's not supposed to be buckets allowed.

plus, it's not novarium's style.

You guys dont have an official texture yet right? You probably should that way you could change bows to muskets, arrows to musket balls and depending on how you go with lighting glowstone into lamps/candles/ anything really

Glimmar's texture pack is accurate enough for me, maybe in the new server, if half our faction doesnt ragequit, i'll Make muskets.

The reason people stepped up, and started saying they did not like it, was because when the SK said he did not want it anymore, people had ground to stand on.

I don't know if you know this or not, but before my MineCraft quit functioning, SK wasn't apart of the server at all. He had one house in Victory Bay that was never occupied, or torn down. Crussaria has fallen into oblivion, and nobody ever saw him, anywhere. They have no ground to stand on what so ever.

They do now.

Oh that's rich, geccoy lived in a city where magic was used frequently. But muskets are more overpowered than magic. Because that makes sense. So basically... You're argument has no ground to stand on. You lived in a city whose weapons were more powerful than medieval, unnacurate muskets, and as soon as it falls you decide that muskets are too powerful. HMMM? Sorry if I'm coming on a little strong, but sometimes theres no point in calling it a fantasy server, if fantasy is banned on it.

I want to help build our new city when the server is wiped! :D

Magic is scarce, now.
Only those who have been approved can use it.
This was after/during DEAP.
The reasons muskets are overpowered, and steampunk is dumb, is that because everyone can use it, it is overpowered.
If any faction can get cannons, big ships that use coal to move around quickly, and muskets, then, it provides a disadvantage to those who came here for medieval roleplay.
Medieval fantasy is the main focus of this server, not steampunk.
Steampunk is more advanced, and, hinders those who want to do a normal sword/board faction, with no magic or steampunk.
That is why this is a medieval fantasy server, not just a fantasy server.

GTFO, Geccoy.

Ok, heres the simple and quick fix.

Wind powered ships, and Hand Cannons instead of muskets. Problem solved, thanks for stopping by.

By wind powered, I assume sails. If not, that's really advanced.
Hand cannons would be more powerful  then muskets, right?
They shoot cannon balls.
Those spheres that are made of heavy metals.

Yes, by wind powered i mean sails, and hand cannons because they existed in medieval times.

Cannons weigh a lot.
So do cannon balls.
You would probably have to carry around a couple to be of use.
They couldn't be very accurate, shooting wise.

Well, 'hand' cannons are smaller, as are the cannon balls, and yeah they arent that accurate, but when they hit, they hit hard. But to make up for it we could combine hand cannons, with real cannons, and crossbows.

Novarium isnt, and won't become the New Imperium of Hessan.

Steampunk is more advanced, and, hinders those who want to do a normal sword/board faction, with no magic or steampunk. Simple solution: Buy schematics from Novarium. Thats what the native americans did, they bought Firearms from the europeans.
That is why this is a medieval fantasy server, not just a fantasy server.  I find it difficult to define the difference between "Medieval fantasy" and "Fantasy" Dwarves, elves, ogres, they weren't Around in medieval times, yet they can be grouped in with medieval fantasy? what about deamons? i suppose that could be included, what with their superstitioiuns. But i don't see how Humans, something that did exist in that era, With more advanced technology, could be considered Unfitting more so then the Other races, unless we have an estabalished canon, we could debate for hours what is mediebal fantasy, and what is fantasy.

Wait. Wait wait wait wait hold the phone. "It's overpowered because anyone can use it". K, by this logic swords are overpowered because anyone can use them. Axes, shields, bows...all overepowered. Why? 'Cause anyone can use them. Aceon is meant to be a 'fantasy world created by its players', not what YOU dictate it to be like, geccoy, so please stop acting like you know what's best. Aceon was created to be a fun living vibrant world, and it's getting shoved into the cookie cutter fantasy RPG that everywhere. If you want THAT kind of PRG get off Minecraft and go play Oblivion or something else, not a game that's open to LIMITLESS possibilities. If you can't grasp that concept stop posting in here with nothing more then crying over something that doesn't even fucking matter to you. The ONLY people that have a say are LE and the head admin.



Also, damn you Bobby for posting before I was done!

I don't think you're overpowered. I just think it doesn't fit the style. Fantasy is different from british colonials, isn't it?

The reason people roleplay is to immerse themselves into a world that is different then their own. Atleast, that's why I RP. I, and many others, joined under the pretense of it being a medieval fantasy server, not a technologically advanced one. What if they wanted a kingdom, one with knights, and dragons, and peasants, and the lot? No cannons, or guns. Just a medieval faction. They couldn't, because they'd be swept away.

Fantasy came from old books and stories in the medieval times. Bed time stories that told tales of dragons and princesses, and wizards. When you put that in an RP context, "Medieval Fantasy", it means dwarves, elves, wizards, and demons, not coal powered ships, or guns.

It's not your call on what 'fits the style' and what doesn't. That's Black Star's call, really. He had no problem with Novarium so fucking drop it and stop raising your post count in an argument that has no ground.

BlackStar is barely ever on the server.

Edit - SK said no more steampunk anyways.

Translated: We cried until we got it our way.

Way to go geccoy. Take away everything that makes Novarium, Novarium. Bet your happy with yourself now. You don't even play on the server anymore but yet you still have to ruin fun for others. You walked around as a robot scientist who could teleport people when the server started. SK never plays on the server, he doesn't know most people like fantasy and it's just a few annoying people against it. Because we no-longer have muskets then we WILL use hand cannons. Do you know why. Because they were present in medieval times. They were early versions. So do you want to take the medieval out of the server aswell? Or perhaps your next task is to get rid of swords, fists or perhaps factions in general because "they're overpowered because everyone can use them"

Edit- Furthermore weapons are usually overpowered in being that only a certain group of people obtain them and have an advantage over everyone else. So we fix that and we're overpowered because we don't keep the weapons all to ourselves??? Your arguments don't make any sense. Come back and argue to us when you have a valid point, it's your decision not to use steampunk. You don't have to use it but at the same time you can. You're gonna piss of alot of people off by doing this...

Way to go geccoy. Take away everything that makes Novarium, Novarium. Bet your happy with yourself now. You don't even play on the server anymore but yet you still have to ruin fun for others. You walked around as a robot scientist who could teleport people when the server started.
Bingo. Shes a total hypocrite
SK never plays on the server, he doesn't know most people like fantasy and it's just a few annoying people against it.
mhmm
Because we no-longer have muskets then we WILL use hand cannons. Do you know why. Because they were present in medieval times.
If we wanted a medieval RP, We would play crussaria when it comes out Lol'd when I typed this

They were early versions. So do you want to take the medieval out of the server aswell? Or perhaps your next task is to get rid of swords, fists or perhaps factions in general because "they're overpowered because everyone can use them"
yea. Once again, She ran around throwing vials of poison that melts rock.

Edit- Furthermore weapons are usually overpowered in being that only a certain group of people obtain them and have an advantage over everyone else. So we fix that and we're overpowered because we don't keep the weapons all to ourselves??? Your arguments don't make any sense. Come back and argue to us when you have a valid point, it's your decision not to use steampunk. You don't have to use it but at the same time you can. You're gonna piss of alot of people off by doing this...

Glad to see someone with pull is actually on the logical side. The whole steampunk thing was an element me and bobby ingrained into the server and I don't know about bobby but I asked a ton of people if they had a problem with the Steampunk variety of fantasy. None objected. I informed them we might have guns and subways and steamships. No one complained. In fact, when I started the DEAP with Arthy, no one complained then either. It just seems people like to dissent when they've realised it's not popular to be consistent and stick with your first opinion.

You're all grasping at threads trying to defend one genre from another, trying to explain why this doesn't fit here and why this isn't this or whatever. You need to get over it, all of you. It wont change unless the population dies off (Or something) If steampunk is dead, so is the server in my penny-worth opinion. Everyone who played (OR SO I THOUGHT?) enjoyed the element. I saw people making steampunk skins, enjoying Novarium and DEAP (Which were THE BIGGEST FACTIONS AND BOTH STEAMPUNK) and making comments about how both cities looked awesome. Saying that Aceon can no longer be Steampunk NOR magic is basically like saying "No roleplaying." No one wants to be a fucking farmer- No matter how hard you try to make them be one or how much you use to lure them into the job no one actually wants to do those shitty jobs. Steampunk added an allure to every job in Aceon, be it soldier, citizen, merchant, what have you. Without Steampunk (Ie. Technology) as an alternative the Powergaming of magic, the server is going to be shitty as hell and while I am super rambling at this point, I am genuinely enraged at the turn of events and no less than befuddled at the fight that has emerged from it.

There was, at no point, any discrimination between "Medieval" and generic Fantasy for this server. For the longest time it was just "Fantasy RP" and the reason people play Minecraft is so they can build things, just as the reason people RP is so they can be whoever they want. The straight outlaw of Steampunk brings the shaft to those players who want to play Steampunk (which is, undeniably, a Fantasy genre) as well as those who use magic which is restricted like some kind of godlike superweapon (Which it sometimes can be.)

All of you people are getting stupider. Silver Knight changed it for some reason, maybe he'll change it back for another one when the server population dips. Or not.

The fact that steampunk is now red-taped does not mean steam is forbidden. We just need to avoid the dystopian feel we maintained before. Steam will still be used, but in different ways and less often. Steamboats will always exist. It's legitimate technology.

Geccoy - I am sick of your shit. You are a good ally, occasionally, but you blow EVERYTHING out of proportion. EVERYTHING. You parading and celebrating about the removal of Steampunk has really shown how badly you want to keep face. You were part of the biggest steampunk faction on the server until the two leaders decided that we wanted the faction to take a Roman Empire route (but sadly didn't) and you kept asking me for high-ranking positions even before that was a pitched idea.

Bfranx - Fuck you.

Duran - Keep doing what you're doing.

Clearly, I am the largest hold.

But seriously, troll comments like "Umad" contribute nothing more than a tick on my ragemeter.

I like this guy : )

I dont know about anyone else, but until the server is actualy reset and all our creations and work destroyed, Im going to be fighting tooth and nail to stop this. Its bullshit in its purest form.

EDIT: Even if it isnt reset I'll be ditching it anyway. ComradeBritish has seen fit to grief his tits off VIA burning my ships yesterday, and if people who I once respected are stopping that low, theres nothing left at HGN for me.

I'm glad to know other people here play tf2 :D

Quit it with the long posts that just rant. I don't have the patience to read long posts like that when most of what they say has already been said, is obvious, or doesn't matter.

by the way, is there a timeline on when it'll be wiped? -So I know when I can start playing again?

Wipe is complete.

In theory, this same thread can still be used, in case of a novarium "appearing" in the new world. Right?

Yus.

Novarium needs new Blood, i cleared alot of inative people, If you want to join, (or need a invite to the Faction) please feel free to PM me, i'll hop on the server to invite you, or accept your app then invite you, as soon as possible.

Sorry I was gone I left to this camp for a week.

that's fine.

Sorry, I couldn't find another recommendation. Turkey probably would've, but he can't. I'm off to hopefully more fun stuff if I can find a server for building with redstone.

You got kicked from the faction because the faction deleted its self from the /f list.

I don't see why you're leaving sense you just joined, so care to explain?

EDIT: To everyone else, post on the activity check or face removal.

He left because he decided Novarium wasn't the faction for him. You don't need to question people who leave btw. The main reason was that he didn't really get into the faction. The other reason was he got a better offer from another faction. I think he only joined to test the faction to see if it was for him. Many people do that, questioning him makes no difference to whether he leaves or not. There explained!

Time at HGN: 60 minutes
How Long have you been on the Minecraft server?: 70 minutes
Character Name?:Alltrusion
Do you have Building auth? (Note, I'm not going to deny you if you say No.) I'm not sure what "auth" is but I will say No.
Preferred Branch? (Army or Navy):Any
Minecraft name?: Alltrusion

Will we be able just to be Novarium settlers rather than soldiers?

Yes. When i get an oppertunity, i will rehaul the faction again.

steampunk is now allowed yadda yadda

Just a Little Update for anyone interested in joining the faction: If you request via PM for a unique character (medic, Cannoneer, Spy, etc.) Send the app through a PM, and I Will look it over, I'd appreciate any Unique Apps not posted here, to avoid any MetaGaming.

And when you join, you recieve a Free Bow, iron sword, and some arrows, (Please don't join just for these items.)

Do you plan on setting up colonies or forts or anything of the kind?

Obvious.

One can never be too sure of anything
