Finally the encampent in the new location Masada starts to be replaced with stone buildings. The Liderc base rebuilded and the town center. Also Vashar arrived in Masada settling her new base in the land.

The Caravan

Liderc caravan is finally moving; NOR base in Spiritus Sancti is disassembled: furnitures, weapons, war loots, gold, documents and all the Family's goods are loaded on a caravan counting more than 300 camels.

After weeks of travel the caravan finally reaches the new home. The land is renamed Masada. Here the clan sets a temporaru encampment and starts to rebuild and to shape the land:

THE ATTITUDE OF THE KNIFE

To: Liderc and Crusaders of NOR.

"Remembrance teaches the attitude
of the knife — chopping off what's
incomplete and saying: "Now it's
complete because it's ended here."
       ~ Liderc Dark codex I, 45. ~


Dear Liderc, dear Crusaders of NOR,
I write this note to officially inform everyone about our decision, as Liderc,  to stop our activities in NOR.

I am sad to announce this and I apologize with you all for this. But if we're at this point means there were really no alternative; having to deal daily with the personal frustration of JD Llelewin or with the psichotic paranoia of Bizarre Obscure and their OOC wars is pointess for someone (as we all) that is putting effort, RL money and time in their love for NOR.

Many of you (Liderc and Crusaders) are with us since the first day. Together we built the strongest groups and alliance ever seen in NOR, together we promoted the most important long term roleplay and richest gameplay in NOR for almost 2 years; and and all this with no special/aritificial  admins "support", XP rewards or other bullcrap. And everyone in NOR, in some way, had to relate
to it.

I feel an huge respect for you all, Liderc, vashar, Invictus, Crusaders... you're the elite, I am honored for the the time and gameplay you accepted and accept to share with me. You're hte best fighters, best roleplayer, best people and friends in NOR, you never knelt; you don't deserve to waste your time to deal with JD bullcraps or Biz and Roth toxic OOC campaigns (i.e. the "summer mutant roleplay" and others).
Accordingly:

LIDERC
will stand, of course. Simply the group will not be an active faction in NOR anymore, his home will be moved elsewhere else and the faction re-focused. This is going to be defined better in the next days and will require some time and sacrifice.

CRUSADERSI'm to keep the group anyway, but here of course is not up to me only, we already had some talk with the Crusader COuncil members. We'll talk more wth everyone in the next days/weeks to decide.

Blood and Honor
Abe Tristan

FAREWELL AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH

To: NOR players and community.

This note is to say goodbye to you all. I decided to move out of NOR and focus on something else.
Such decision comes after several months of events; this summer, the so-called "mutants roleplay" - designed and driven to purposely harrass OOC and split the community - was already a strong signal in this direction and things were already gone too far.
However the main reason - as in many other cases - is the continuos harrassment coming from JD Lewin and her lobby.

This just only to make clear there's no issue related to NOR in ggeneral or to any of his players.
We're not happy to leave: we love NOR and norians. However there are limits; in situations like this one is forced to evaluate if all the passion, effort, time and money invested in a project are evaluable or if is not more productive in somehting else.

In respect of Liderc and our groups the feedback from my people is blunty. Accordingly in the next days the group will be relocated and refocused elsewhere.

But here I won't talk about this. This note is only to apologize with you all for all the interrupted IC threads story and projects and to
thank you all for the years of fun and roleplay, we'll miss interacting with you all;
NOR is good and his players community is awesome; one of the most intelligent, fun and creative in SL. Please, continue so and don't allow to anyone to turn you in an herd of hotspots campers or trafic bots.

Safe paths to everyone and - anyway - see you all on the grid.

Introducing Lotka Volterra

I. LOTKA-VOLTERRA

Lotka-Volterra (LV) is a racial vampire elite group in the Nation of Remembrance.
The name is derived from the Lotka-Volterra equations, also known as the predator-prey equations, are a pair of first-order, non-linear, differential equations frequently used to describe the dynamics of biological systems in which two species interact, one a predator and one its prey ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra_equation)).


II. MISSION

Lotka-Volterra is not a faction, a clan or an alliance and does not follow any clan/faction logic and is not meant to intrude specific factional business.
Main goals of the group are:
1. To study and document vampire history, presence and bloodlines in the Nation of Remembrance lands.
2. To serve, protect and promote the kindred culture and ethics.
3. To train younger vampires in proper knowledge and using of their powers (hunting, fighting and assassination arts)
4. To provide meeting point and a communication tools among the kindred in the Nation.
5. (Classified)


III. JOINING LOTKA-VOLTERRA

Lotka-Volterra is an elite group; joining is not a right, it is a privilege.

- To be a pure  vampire (Defined in the OOC Notes below)
- To be a member of the VoN group
- Having a decent knowledge of Nocturnal powers and skills
- To be approved by the LV Elders.

*** OOC NOTES:
(1) We define "pure vampire" as: both, "Nocturnal" race in the meter AND equivalent RP (so - sorry - no: "I'm a vampire-neko-human hybrid" or "yes, I am a machina  in the meter but I rolplay a vampire").
(2)  Have a minimum level of 9, (The level cap ensures members possess enough combat knowledge to teach spells and general combat to the younger of our Race)

 
IV. STRUCTURE

V. ETHIC

- Lotka Volterra is not a faction and in no way acts as faction. The group exists to aid in fixing issues among members of the vampire community and promoting talks or diplomatic tools while staying out of factional business and politics.
- Lotka Volterra and their communication channels cannot be used as a platform to trigger a fight or to call for help.
- Lotka Volterra membership does not have to be displayed or declares in any way (no badges and so on).
- Being in LV is not a right, it is a privilege. This privilege can be given as well as taken away.

RACIAL POLICY UPDATE

((IC internal note to Liderc))

The recent events proved as this new "mutants" race is only toxic for the true norians and a cancer for the Nation.
For this reason Liderc racial policy is changed. The following clause is added and immediately effective:

Mutants are not welcome and not allowed to join Liderc.

~The Liderc Council~

NON NOBIS [IC-mutants -RP]

((note sent to crusaders network and attacked on the walls in Spiritus, Good, Vampire and Remembrance. So can be deemed as publicly visible IC))


NON NOBIS DOMINE  NON NOBIS SED NOMINI TUO DA GLORIAM

Here we talk to the free Norians.

In the last weeks, a line has been drawn:
On one side all the individuals, groups, and factions that refused to  bow to the "mutant" puppets. They prefer to stand and die honorably instead of kneeling. They prefer to rely on their own strength and skills instead of kissing mutant ass for some help. They proved to be true Norians, not silly goats or worse, bleating sheep. Doesn't matter if they're friend or foe for us Crusaders, they deserve respect.
On the other side the weaklings - the ones who knelt and bowed tossed away their honor. Unable to stand alone, forced by their own true pathetic nature, they begged for the mutants' help for lack of their own skills and strength. As Legion or their lapdogs, Ruin and many others who we haven't the time to name, did. We do not resent or blame them, for who can blame the weaklings when it is their nature to bend and bow to power?

To Bizarre Obscure, maker and driver of the mutant gummy puppets, we humbly suggest to come back to care for her people instead of wasting resources to create artificial super-soldiers to reach her goal: eradicating and driving out of NOR any other faction or group, turning the Nation of Remembrance in an empty, flat and  monotone wasteland; a pasture for goats.

"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

Reminder on the so-called "libation" [IC]

((Liderc group internal IC note))

Just a reminder for all Liderc:
The so-called "libation" pratice still in use for some rural Reliance rsidents is deemed - according to our Law - as a simple and plain aggression act.
Everyone is invited to deal with this kind of request in the proper way according to Liderc Laws, as an aggression.

To be clear: defend yourself againt the aggressors and kill them.

~Abe Tristan~

Latin love to hate Liderc party

Nice party on Liderc base roof.  Slaughtering people can be draining and  sometime one needs some rest. Not too long anyway...

Thank you to everyone for coming.
Mostly considering there were no need of special hotspot or  XP reward...
