Vote for RPC

jedi-icon

The RPC (Roleplay Council) is a unique feature for Legends of the Jedi elected by the player base every three months. The primary duty of the RPC is to handle the process of approving or denying PKill restoration requests. Elected by the players for the players, the RPC are here to serve as a resource to everyone. They act as a method for players to ask for assistance in issues that should be concealed from the greater community and they assist new players with any issues that may arise.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

GMT-4 DST, my hours tend to be wild but sometime in the afternoon and evening.

Tell us a little about yourself.

I'm an artist, writer, roleplayer, color descer, PVPer, been clan leader and division leader multiple times, and lurk around the discord to offer advice on things like the datanet or other random topics that I am familiar with.

Why should players vote for you?

I believe in story over everything else. I believe in putting on a good show for others when I have an important mud role. Having been Era 2 Emperor, I know what it's like to both look out for a large clan and its people, and to reign in the troublemakers and problems that can spiral out of control when left unchecked. I am familiar with both good perms and questionable perms, and I've had a few successful restores that I knew deep down were unjustified and lacking in RP to back them up. I am here to make sure that perms are properly upheld: it's the responsibility of the permer to justify their kill, not the permed.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

No politics, no down in the mud insulting others, no harassing others, otherwise I'm sort of lax about it and I'm going to warn people over silencing most the time.

What is your attitude towards help IC?

I will be honest on this: I believe there are some things that shouldn't be shared OOCly. You shouldn't be telling the enemy who the secret Sith/Jedi is, you shouldn't be telling your clique mates that so and so is planning to attack them/their clan next day, you shouldn't be telling your friend you're being attacked and log on and save you, you shouldn't be bragging (or informing) about your secret Death Star plans. Things like this can ruin the whole investigative nature and cause others to either directly or instinctively react to the information, especially if it personally affects them. However I also believe we are a community of friends and stories, and 2 years is too long of a time to bite your tongue about experiences you have shared with your fellow players. It also allows us to sweep slights under the rug without properly addressing them, which leads to salt buildup and rage boil over. I believe we're too secretive and we lack transparency, and this leads to cheating accusations, hatred towards other players, and just in general mistrust. I want to see a world where we can safely lift that veil of secrecy without it completely ruining our enjoyment of the game when it comes to discovering or acting upon info.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

Be nice to others, it's kind of a given.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

I am not pro-PK, I am pro-RP and pro-story. PK needs to benefit the story, PK shouldn't be about ruining other people's fun. Killing another player ends their story and whatever they could've provided to the overall story. Sometimes it causes chain reactions and causes RP to unfold from others, sometimes it just silences RP. When perms are conducted in the shadows and hidden, it can make that even worse. I am a PVPer and I have ordered people's deaths before, but I have also allowed people to get set up (ex. the Rebellion of last TL) so that I don't crush the developing story and stagnate the mud.

However, I will judge perms based on whether the permer had enough RP to justify their perm, not how wrong I feel the choice to kill them was, nor whether they were an influential story contributor. It'll certainly be unfortunate if it happens, but I'm not here to make that call, I'm here to make sure they follow the rules in justifying their perm.

Have you been RPC before?

No

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Tell us a little about yourself.

I hate this question. My name is Carl, I’m 34 years old, I’m a dad to Paris the Chihuahua and Harper the poodle. I don’t particularly have any hobbies, I’m not a gamer, other than LotJ which I’ve played for 10+ years.

I’m told I have a reputation in our community as a solid role player, which is what I enjoy more than anything. Aside from that, I think it’s important to keep a firm lid on toxicity and bullying on lotj, which I’ve been a victim of in the past, I have no problem informing anyone when they have crossed a line, both as a player and if I’m successful as RPC. Manners cost nothing!

I remember when I first started playing the game, and how overwhelming it was to get used to it but it all comes with time and practice, and I like to help new players get acquainted. I genuinely do enjoy helping people.

Why should players vote for you?

Vote for me because I’m a firm believer in fairness, and I would never use the role of RPC to give people I like an advantage over others. I don’t care who you are, or how close we are.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

I think it’s important. We all have a responsibility to not ruin the game for each other..

What is your attitude towards help IC?

As a player who enjoys RP more than anything else, maintaining IC and OOC boundaries is imperative to not breaking the immersion for yourself and other people.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

I go back to my earlier comments about bullying and harassment, it simply won’t be tolerated by me regardless of RPC status. Be nice, and if you can’t be nice, then shut up! And if you can’t keep your mouth shut, go somewhere else to play the bully.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

In my opinion, LotJ is a PK MUD, but it’s not something I enjoy doing personally, maybe due to the fact I’m not very good at it! I can definitely appreciate the skill other players have both on the ground and in space.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Eastern after 2pm and morning, afternoon, evening on the weekend

Tell us a little about yourself.

Hello! I'm your run of the mill gamer, gym rat, and social introvert! I am a very open person, always honest and someone who likes to make others happy and be myself no matter what. It is a pleasure to meet you guys!

Why should players vote for you?

I'm someone who has always been dedicated to helping the new players grow and be a role model in the lotj landscape. From helping resolve rpc cases, to taking newbies on friendly tours in the academy (great job walldo) I always want to see this game do great and will continue to do so!

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

Ooc should be something everyone can have fun and enjoy interaction with each other without being harassed or bullied. I been on the receiving end to it back in the day and will quickly step in when people are getting harmed or if its becoming a discussion best left off ooc!

What is your attitude towards help IC?

When it comes to help ic, I feel it always depend on the person who is trying to get information on ooc or rpc. For example, if a new player is unsure and has made efforts on talk and no one responds I feel giving them general information is way more beneficial versus someone who is looking for a specific end game item or quest that they should be able to get the information icly . It's a balance and one I will take on!

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

I will speak on both rule 14's just for you wonderful people. I feel like spyapp is a great tool for the game, it helps people build cases to be double agents and ultimately if you have enough of a backstory you can be the insider that takes down an empire! I do believe depending on your rp and story, sometimes certain actions your clan does make you want to have the ability to step in and say something is wrong here.

For the orginial rule 14 (don't be a jerk) It's obvious, the golden rule and one that is easy to follow and will be the best rule in any game ever. Be nice to those who just come to have fun and help make the game great!

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

Pk plays a huge part in lotj and its one that should be encouraged and also developed in a way that everyone (who wants to pk) has a place to do so. Obviously random pks and pks without reason are bad but if you have a great story and lots of reasons! go for it.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

All day but primarily 5am to noon then 5pm to 10.

Tell us a little about yourself.

Im Flek a long-time lotj player, I have been a player here since 2006, I'm highly familiar with the rules and how things run. I am disabled and stay at home as such if im awake im atleast passively monitoring lotj and discord.

Why should players vote for you?

You should vote for me because I understand the rules intimately, I have broken most of them over the years but I am a fair-minded player and I like seeing everyone enjoy this game. You will get a fair shake from me, I police ooc channels fairly being my friend doesn't get you favors and if somehow I don't like you (don't know anyone who I don't like tbh) you don't earn my ire either.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

There are very few taboo topics but as with all things as long as you keep others in mind, I'll let you chat away. I don't allow hate speech if you get overly sexual ill ask you to stop and while cursing is fine moderation is key if every other word is fuck I will ask you to chill out. Other than that chat about what you want.

What is your attitude towards help IC?

You can learn anything you want by asking ic, but I understand this is uncomfortable for newbies especially those who don't come from RPI muds. I draw a line at game mechanics and I tend to favor telling people tribal knowledge. But we have rules on this and ill enforce them. I will happily tell you how to level smuggling and my favorite spots foir tier 1 oocly but only if you ask. I don't just offer this information unprompted, some newbies prefer discovery and this should be encouraged. But im not gonna tell you where to find the Holocron to learn the sith spell fury that's guarded ic info. Find out ic.

Game mechanics I will explain how you find out if you are a forcer (don't ask people) but not if you are a forcer. How to run cargo and compare resources but not what is the best route. It's not too complicated and I'll give tips on how to ask icly all day long. Please ask ICly I love helping people without having my hands tied!

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

(1) LOTJ is a decades-old community and everyone is here to have fun: we expect our players to be civil to each other. Do not disrespect, insult, troll, or harass your fellow players or the staff. Sexist, racist, or other hateful language is not tolerated. Read Help Community for more info.

This question used to be rules 14 but Walldo changed rules around so I will answer it for rule 1 which is the new rule 14.

Hard don't do it. Everyone is here for fun, not to be abused. Walk away count to ten log off. Ive been rpc before I have kicked people silenced and hated every second of it. You get abusive to anyone be it player-staff rpc that instantly makes me side against you.

If the question trurely is about spyapp, I support spyapp protection I am in 100% alignment with the rule.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

Its integral to the story of this mud. We are not a pve mud we are an RPK mud. My biggest issue is unless its a circumstance pk as in the field of battle you cant really pick and choose who lives and dies you need to kill them now.

Everyone deserves an offramp. They all need a point where they see their actions are leading to death, they need a chance to halt their actions or be permed.

I recognize not every circumstance calls for this and I respect that and in those cases perms stick but they will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Otherwise you need cause to perm people and the best way to show cause is providing an offramp. You dont ever rp with someone at all and suddenly decide to perm them yeah thats not gonna fly, on the otherhand if a player warns you to stop undercutting him and you repeatedly ignore that player, dont cry foul when your char gets got. Im sorry but this is star wars, not star candyland.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Tell us a little about yourself.

Gamer mom and long time LotJer. Customer service specialist through rigorous car employment all my life so I know how to handle tense situations while keeping my cool. Also I might not have all the answers but the key is knowing how and where to find them.

Why should players vote for you?

I've been rpc before and I've been around for almost ten years. I'm familiar with the rules and regulations and through experience and my own lessons understand the value of them. I'm fair in rpc trials and extremely unbiased. Does the perm break a rule? No? Then it sticks, period. More cases are based on lack of rp than anything and frankly this is extremely subjective, but with logs and verifiable rp, most cases are easy to decide upon. Yes, I was banned over a year and a half ago for ooc coordination but lesson was learned and I've taken a hardline stance on keeping things separate to make the game much more enjoyable for myself as a game rather than a second job.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

Is it hurting anyone? Is it toxic? Then cut it out! Can't keep your emotions cool? Take a time out like a champ and move on. Life is too short to spend so much energy upset all the time.

What is your attitude towards help IC?

Lessons have been learned and this is a valuable key to keeping the game enjoyable and fair for everyone involved.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

Toxicity towards other players is a tough cookie to crack and the staff have done an excellent job cutting out toxicity in this game. Sometimes rpc has to step in but it's crucial to ensuring a fair and enjoyable community.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

PK is a necessary evil to some and a dreaded inevitability for others, but my view is that player deaths are necessary to move the story forward. If you don't want to die, don't do controversial things to and with other parties.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Tell us a little about yourself.

It's me, atray. I work, live, breathe automation integration (makedroid). My favorite foods are fermented and I make mabo tofu any day I can. I'm a tenured role-player, and the quality of storytelling at LotJ keeps me coming back.

Why should players vote for you?

As a fresh, modern newbie: my drive is to improve accessibility to our community for new players. Answering questions, laying out welcome, the onboarding experience is important to keeping the player group healthy and diverse. In restores, I support dynamic and dramatic conflicts with well-intentioned roleplay before and about the consequences.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

LotJ's community has shown tremendous strength in the modern world, I am very proud of the supportive and entertaining OOC channel lately. When topics don't peter out, players are always respectful being told its time to drop it. Don't make us get the stick!

What is your attitude towards help IC?

Help IC and its consequences are, to me, a part of teaching and welcoming new players. I am a believer that preventing roleplay from being organized OOC and out-of-community give players without those OOC friends a better chance of getting involved. Additionally, teaching those new players to not blab their character's SSN on OOC is often the RPC's most common help IC duties.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

Rule One outlines a very important layer of trust in LotJ - just as trusting your clanmates strengthens and makes the system possible, trusting the players, your peers, is important to telling an engaging story. While villains and conflict exist in star wars, we all do what we can to build a caring OOC community. A strong, welcoming community encourages everyone to write, and sometimes take a loss, to produce an engaging and memorable story.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

Conflict is the driving force of LotJ. Not only does PK facilitate storytelling, death opens important ecological niches for new characters to enter the story. If a death does not improve the narrative, players could consider what other punishments would create RP opportunities. Alternatively, every character ends sometime. You never know what opportunities your character death may lead to for other players!

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Most week days are limited, about 3 hours in the afternoon, 1PM est to 4 PM est. Sundays and mondays I'm all over the place.

Tell us a little about yourself.

Not a lot I can say that most of you don't already know, I've had a long history on LOTJ, much of it as one of the problem players though I think its fair to say people don't view me that way anymore for a reason. I've been playing LOTJ for far too long, almost 24 years of it. Love this game, this community, and honestly my goals anymore are simply to impact this place in positive ways.

Why should players vote for you?

Why should players vote for me? As an RPC member I vote by the rules, not feelings, not who is or isn't in an enemy clan, and not who people are outside of the game. Only the rules. I've broken nearly all of them at least once, most of the PK rules many times, and I can recognize a BS kill a mile away.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

Frankly if you're a bully you probably aren't going to like me much, otherwise I honestly tend to be fairly hands off with OOC as long as rules are followed. Otherwise I do whatever may be in my power to bring the situation to a swift and satisfactory conclusion.

What is your attitude towards help IC?

Frankly help IC might be the most important part of LOTJ. There are situations where I believe the rules should be lightened, in PUBLIC, to help clear toxicity. But as thats not the way the rules work, I can honestly say I just firmly support help IC in every way.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

Rule 14 is currently the rule regarding spyapps. I think this section is outdated, and will instead respond with my attitude towards how players treat one another, as that was the old rule 14. I think treating one another with respect is a fundamental part of all communities, gaming and otherwise. Sometimes people are jerks, its best to find a solution that doesn't involve dipping down to their level. Its hard sometimes. But the world works better that way and so does LOTJ.

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

PK is half of the beautiful combination that LOTJ is. Only through PK can RP have true meaning, you need both in equal measure.

Have you been RPC before?

Yes

What timezone/hours are you usually around?

Tell us a little about yourself.

Hey! I'm Tweave, and have been playing LOTJ for 23 years now off and on. I was raised by this community and grew up alongside many of the oldbies here. I used to be known for my PK strategy, and have generally been involved in the forefront conflict. I am now 34 years old, have 10 months of sobriety under my belt, and am happy with life.

Why should players vote for you?

While I am a part time player, I will be a full time RPC member. I have a lot of experience on both sides of the PK, and would approach every case without in game bias. I am not a part of any cliques, generally get along with everyone, and consider myself laid back and fair. A vote for me is a vote for a level headed RPC member that will give you a fair trial.

What is your attitude towards policing OOC?

While LOTI has traditionally been rather hard-core in the past on OOC, we have entered a new area of love and respect for each other. Joking is fine, but I do step up and put a stop to bullying, in whatever form it may be. Just be a decent human being and remember the golden rule.

What is your attitude towards help IC?

While I think it's important to help new players with some of the starting mechanics and quests, half of the beauty of this game is the ability to be immersed. It's important to get out there and make your mark! Explore.

What is your attitude towards Rule 1?

The golden rule applies here too. It should be common sense in this day and age, but I'm happy to gently nudge people back on to the yellow brick road to the golden rule lol

Describe the role you think PK plays in LOTJ.

My stance on PK has shifted over the years. Once upon a time, I was so obsessed with my PK count that I would kill anyone if i was given a justifiable reason. But as I've matured from a teenage text based serial killer, I've come to realize that while it is important to kill to drive the story forward, and it is important to neutralize your enemy when you can't take them prisoner during war windows...some of the craziest story arcs I've seen have come from choosing NOT to kill. PK has its place, but has to be justified.
