Personally, I wouldn't mind voting everyday even without all the boosts and credits given for them. Perhaps you could have two pages - each with the same number of links, but one page would give the boosts and credits, and the other page would be for those who just want to vote. Of course, that would be mean very few would use the latter page, but I'm sure some would.

As someone mentioned before, (s)he thought it pointless to vote for a few insignificant (?) stat boosts, but my point is : why not vote for MD so we can bring more people in? That in itself should be reward enough.

Welcome to the Realm! I hope to see you in person soon =)

Ash / Snake Very accurate... I really wish other people *cough family cough* would understand that I"m not reclusive

Okay. Aside from what's posted above this, I would like CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM on what we can do from here. I do care about what happened in the past, but not to the point of dragging out old arguments and getting people upset. Rhaegar may have had some good ideas and what not, some that may be expanded upon in the future. Other past leaders also had good ideas for leading the Church. But for now, I would like to restore the Savelites to something very similar to the original church before trying to change something else.

RULES :

1) DO NOT INVITE ANYONE INTO THE ALLIANCE! I don’t care who it is that wants in, you do not invite them. Let me know and I will invite that person. Even if it is an alliance member that you know, you are still not allowed to invite them in. This may change later as we grow, but for the next few months, inviting others will be reserved for myself only.

2) Keep a check on the forums daily. New, important changes in the alliance or homeland may occur and there should be no excuse for not knowing of them (this includes all the Bishops).

3) Loreroot is always first, no matter what is going on. Loreroot, its citizens, and everything else inside or a part of Loreroot MUST BE PROTECTED at all cost. This is our home, our friends, and where we will spend a lot of our time. If it gets destroyed, we have no one to blame but ourselves for not protecting it.

4) Training is a must. Find yourself a training partner or two that are online when you are. Don’t simply give each other wins and losses, but work towards understanding what works, what doesn’t and why it is that way.

5) Work on your sermons each week. For now, we will give one sermons a month in which we will all participate on giving. This means, we each write something related to what we do within the Church : Clerics will say something on healing, plants, creatures, etc. Paladins will say something on fighting ( RP or Creatures). Bishops will say something on helping others in all areas of what we do. I will have a ‘part’ in the Bishops sermons.

6) Get to know several of Loreroots citizens, work with them, train with them, and learn from them. They are our family and friends, our allies. There is no need to keep them distanced from us. Get to know the history of Loreroot and its alliances as well. There are important things of our history that should be known.

7) If there is a conflict between yourself and another, keep the dispute between yourselves. Try to work it out calmly and in a civilized manner. Fighting (not using creatures) should be kept to a minimum.

8) Each new member must answer a few short questions as well as go through a test. At this point in time, however, I do not have a test in place. I will be working on it shortly.

9) It is NOT required, but recommended that you become an adept and worshipper of someone within Loreroot – a citizen or an alliance member. If you become a worshipper of someone who is in another alliance, it could cause conflicts between you.

10) Help others. Always keep an eye out for anyone who may need help. Offer your assistance to the LHO members.

This alliance is mostly about Roleplaying, so I expect each of you to develop your roles (in your personal papers) more clearly. It does not have to be very detailed, but you do need a clear character. Take your time doing this, as it is not required immediately.

Roleplay Ideas:

We could do some research on several topics : magic, creatures of LR, healing, Savelfuser, Principles related to the church and explanations of why they are related. We could also run some quests within LR to help boost the community.


The first thing I would like the members to do is find training partners – someone who is online at the same time as yourselves. It could be a small group of people or only two of you. The other person does not have to be a citizen of Loreroot. You may drop your badge (leave the alliance) for a while to make things easier to train, but you are done training, you must let me know so you may be invited back into the alliance. Also, let someone know before you drop badge that you are leaving to train.

Secondly, I would like you to find someone to mentor. Teach them about the game, help them with their roles, find something you can do together (quest, explore, roleplay, etc.) Just be sure not to give out the answers of the Game Quests (Berserkers Puzzle, how to defeat guards, creature combos, etc.)

Third, find where you belong in the Church – do you prefer Cleric or Paladin? – and begin researching for that roles’ sermon. I think, the best method right now is to have each group work on their specific goals – for example, the Cleric would research healing, helping, plants, creatures, magic, etc. Paladins would research fighting techniques, healing, magic, etc. Bishops and the Arch Bishop would have something to say on each of those things as well as how the rest of the MD community may be able to help. You may bring in guest speakers for your part of the sermons if you wish. Be sure, however, that you dont give spoilers (yes, this is something that I will stress quite often. You cannot go and tell newbs how to to win or fight. They must figure things out on their own).

Fourth – Roleplay, help others as you can, grow and help teach others. And most importantly, have fun

The last thing I want to say is this : Work on your part of the sermons!! I will need to see what you have in two weeks, as I plan to give our first sermons in three to four weeks. I will provide the introduction to our sermons. Each of you work together within your respective groups to come up with a couple of paragraphs about what your group will be doing within the community.

- Clerics – heal, tend to people and nature, help others
- Paladins – heal, help others, protect, teach fighting techniques
- Bishops, including the Arch Bishop, will end the sermons with a few more words about each group, as well as about initiates and how others might be able to help in the MD community.

I require your parts of the sermons in two weeks so that I may go over it, correct any mistakes, and make sure it is easy to understand.

[u]@ Sasha:[/u]

[i]Be re-taken over by Rhaegar. This being because, as I said before, he at least kept some of the original meanings the guild/alliance.[/i]

You know well enough why that won't happen
[i]
The current leader to revise about the guild/alliance and Savelfuser and actually take it all on board before thinking of the roles within the guild/alliance and it's own rules, regulations and history.[/i]

Jazira is working on the structure, If people help her, I believe she can do a very good job,
And I totally agree with Ivorak on this point.
[i]
Or, this being my favourite suggestion at the moment, to be disbanded. The alliance has lost it's purpose, role and to be honest, originality.[/i]

It will be if the idea flunks.

[u]@ Cutler:[/u]

[i](...) by taking away any semblance of dignity it might have had. (...) to be swapped like an old toy that is no longer loved. [/i]

I don't think Jazira sees the Savelites as a toy, and still, old toys can be loved again.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________


I understand negativity around the savelites but I think we need to give Jazira a chance, and see what comes from it.
If people are more busy with the [u]past[/u] of the Alliance, than what it actually does [u]Now[/u] (or will Become), then it'll be tough yes.
Keep an open mind...

On another note: I fully support Jazira in her attempt to try to make it a good alliance again.

Sasha Ilias : "To me it has lost it's true meaning and is now just some sort of play thing to be handed around to various people. "

I have tried to find some hint at what the original alliance was for, and I was unsuccessful. Perhaps I need to look harder, but if you can help me understand what it's true purpose was, I will gladly change the purpose and roles.


I don't have as much time online as I used to, so I'm having to work at a slower pace. I have thought some on worship, but again, I am unsure of what the Savelites worshipped before now. I wasn't around when Savelfuser was, and when I did come to MD, I still didn't see much of the Savelites, what they did beyond healing those who were sparring, or what they worshipped. Again, if you can point me in the right direction, I'll gladly change it to that or add it in. =)

You may bring in guest speakers for your part of the sermons if you wish. Be sure, however, that you dont give spoilers (yes, this is something that I will stress quite often. You cannot go and tell newbs how to to win or fight. They must figure things out on their own).

Fourth – Roleplay, help others as you can, grow and help teach others. And most importantly, have fun

The last thing I want to say is this : Work on your part of the sermons!! I will need to see what you have in two weeks, as I plan to give our first sermons in three to four weeks. I will provide the introduction to our sermons. Each of you work together within your respective groups to come up with a couple of paragraphs about what your group will be doing within the community.

- Clerics – heal, tend to people and nature, help others
- Paladins – heal, help others, protect, teach fighting techniques
- Bishops, including the Arch Bishop, will end the sermons with a few more words about each group, as well as about initiates and how others might be able to help in the MD community.

I require your parts of the sermons in two weeks so that I may go over it, correct any mistakes, and make sure it is easy to understand.

[color="#FF0000"]As always, ideas and criticism are welcome, but once the talk becomes negative and unneccessary, your posts will no longer recieve any response.[/color]

RULES :

1) DO NOT INVITE ANYONE INTO THE ALLIANCE! I don’t care who it is that wants in, you do not invite them. Let me know and I will invite that person. Even if it is an alliance member that you know, you are still not allowed to invite them in. This may change later as we grow, but for the next few months, inviting others will be reserved for myself only.

2) Keep a check on the forums daily. New, important changes in the alliance or homeland may occur and there should be no excuse for not knowing of them (this includes all the Bishops).

3) Loreroot is always first, no matter what is going on. Loreroot, its citizens, and everything else inside or a part of Loreroot MUST BE PROTECTED at all cost. This is our home, our friends, and where we will spend a lot of our time. If it gets destroyed, we have no one to blame but ourselves for not protecting it.

4) Training is a must. Find yourself a training partner or two that are online when you are. Don’t simply give each other wins and losses, but work towards understanding what works, what doesn’t and why it is that way.

5) Work on your sermons each week. For now, we will give one sermons a month in which we will all participate on giving. This means, we each write something related to what we do within the Church : Clerics will say something on healing, plants, creatures, etc. Paladins will say something on fighting ( RP or Creatures). Bishops will say something on helping others in all areas of what we do. I will have a ‘part’ in the Bishops sermons.

6) Get to know several of Loreroots citizens, work with them, train with them, and learn from them. They are our family and friends, our allies. There is no need to keep them distanced from us. Get to know the history of Loreroot and its alliances as well. There are important things of our history that should be known.

7) If there is a conflict between yourself and another, keep the dispute between yourselves. Try to work it out calmly and in a civilized manner. Fighting (not using creatures) should be kept to a minimum.

8) Each new member must answer a few short questions as well as go through a test. At this point in time, however, I do not have a test in place. I will be working on it shortly.

9) It is NOT required, but recommended that you become an adept and worshipper of someone within Loreroot – a citizen or an alliance member. If you become a worshipper of someone who is in another alliance, it could cause conflicts between you.

10) Help others. Always keep an eye out for anyone who may need help. Offer your assistance to the LHO members.

This alliance is mostly about Roleplaying, so I expect each of you to develop your roles (in your personal papers) more clearly. It does not have to be very detailed, but you do need a clear character. Take your time doing this, as it is not required immediately.

Roleplay Ideas:

We could do some research on several topics : magic, creatures of LR, healing, Savelfuser, Principles related to the church and explanations of why they are related. We could also run some quests within LR to help boost the community.


The first thing I would like the members to do is find training partners – someone who is online at the same time as yourselves. It could be a small group of people or only two of you. The other person does not have to be a citizen of Loreroot. You may drop your badge (leave the alliance) for a while to make things easier to train, but you are done training, you must let me know so you may be invited back into the alliance. Also, let someone know before you drop badge that you are leaving to train.

Secondly, I would like you to find someone to mentor. Teach them about the game, help them with their roles, find something you can do together (quest, explore, roleplay, etc.) Just be sure not to give out the answers of the Game Quests (Berserkers Puzzle, how to defeat guards, creature combos, etc.)

Third, find where you belong in the Church – do you prefer Cleric or Paladin? – and begin researching for that roles’ sermon. I think, the best method right now is to have each group work on their specific goals – for example, the Cleric would research healing, helping, plants, creatures, magic, etc. Paladins would research fighting techniques, healing, magic, etc. Bishops and the Arch Bishop would have something to say on each of those things as well as how the rest of the MD community may be able to help.

As of this moment, there are two people helping me restore the Church and four who will join. There are also some who have said they would support me, even if they don't actually participate. Their support is very welcome and they have my thanks. =)

This may change, or things may be added on soon.

Values : The church worships Life and Nature

Principle Influences : Cyclicity , Syntrophy

Purpose : To nurture any and all 'life' within the realm, not just Loreroot. We aim to help those who ask for it, and defend those who need it. We aim to reach out to the community and ensure the safety of the Lorerootian forest as well as plants found all over.

Goals:
1) To provide a safe experience for people to learn to fight and defend, not simply gain wins or losses.
2) To help, heal, and defend Loreroot, people from all over the realm, and all aspects of Nature throughout the realm.
3) Provide lessons and sermons regarding Life, Nature, and different aspects of fighting.

Organization :
1) Arch Bishop - The leader of the Savelites. Experience in all things, and brings matters of importance to the council for final decisions.
2) Bishops – the council members. They have experience in all related duties of the Church, and help the leader to decide matters of importance.
3) Paladins – Members who focus on the helping and teaching of the ways of fighting.
4) Clerics – Members who focus on the helping and healing of people, as well as tending to all the plants and forests
5) Initiates – Those who wish to join, but must yet prove themselves able to follow the rules of the King, Loreroot, and the Church.


All members and initiates will be required to give a sermons each month. The sermon will be based on their expertise, whether it be on Nature and Healing, or Fighting and Defending, or all aspects of the church for the Initiates. Bishops will provide a sermons that may regard all or only one aspect of the Church. Sermons, or teachings, may start being held only once a month, but once there are more members, it could be moved to twice a month.

Members are encouraged to learn self-defense and creature fighting techniques, but fighting (as in arguing or ‘loud’ disagreements) should be kept near to a minimum. Pride, bravery, or just the desire to fight and argue should be set aside when joining the Savelites. We are here to help others grow. Fight to defend others and yourself.

We worship Savelfuser, the Great Ghost and original founder of the Savelites Church. He was a great fighter and protector. He taught and healed, and was well respected as a whole. He had large amount of followers and worshippers during his time. We will always keep him in our memories and thoughts. He also led the Savelites to in an attempt to research and find missing artifacts within Loreroot.

As of this moment, there are two people helping me restore the Church and four who will join. There are also some who have said they would support me, even if they don't actually participate. Their support is very welcome and they have my thanks. =)

King Firsanthalas has agreed to let me try to restore or revive the Savelites Church. [s]I still need a few people, preferably four, to join the church.[/s]

I know, the Church has gone through more hands than it should have. Perhaps one day it will meet a pair of hands that won't pass the church along as though it were an old toy that had lost its luster.

But, whether the church is new or old, there are still some in the realm of MD who would like to see the Savelites revived and in good health. I am one of these people, though before I may not have been active with any of the Alliances or Guilds. I am writing here to see who else would like to see the Savelites restored and help me to do so.

I warn you now, however, that the Savelites Church will be under the rule of King Firs. He is the King of Loreroot, which is where the Alliance was born, and should remain. The Church will follow any and all rules set by Loreroot and its king, or any future ruler should he decide to step down. To be absolutely clear, if you wish to join the Church, you agree to be bound by the rules of the forest and its king. If there is a problem with this, then by all means, create a new church OUTSIDE the lands of Loreroot.
