Well, yes the SB map has changed a lot! But the biggest changes SB did while Thorwald was King. You know dwarves like to smith and aswell they like to build and so they did. But there was for sure no GM support or something. All dwaves worked or even pged hard to collect the needed ressources and so the reconstruction could take place.Retlak wrote:I'm not sure, maybe something to do with many many instant lock changes when other guilds couldn't change theirs, constant changing of the entire silverbrand map compared to every other location. I'm sure there were many issues concerning pushed chars and such aswell. Oh how about that time the GM's fucked up Will and Dom for simply giving silverbrand trouble.
The time when Dom and Will got owned by the stuff because of happenings in/with Sb were confusing to me. I didn't realy got what happend in this time so I can't talk about.
Right that was the way the intruderc got handled. But like Dji wrote above, the highpriest Thogrimm had a lot of work to do before Sb got the Golem for protection. He didn't only gave his arm or even risks a permadeath ( would have happened if the conjuration failed ), he also sacrified a fire-waraxe. An item what I suppose to be very rare IG.Avalyon el'Hattarr wrote:@ Salathe:
Don't forget the time when Stephen Rothman attacked Silverbrand with a few men and a GM logged on his GM char golem and owned them all in a few hits.
*rolls eyes* Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
Now Thogrimm has to rp a handicapped dwarf with just one arm left. And actually there are no golems which would help to protect SB. Try it!
But wasn't hellbriar supported from the Staff, too? You got a whole, already constructed "settlement" and these magic-teleport-blackstones and did nothing for it!
Please don't blame me if I'm wrong here, just clear my mind up!
I'm not sure about hellbriar but I wanted to state out that not only Sb get the support you all are moaning about.
Oh yes, that was a problem till just a few weeks ago. PO Friedwulfa talked to PO Lennier because he wants to open Sb for non-citizen and non-dwarves. A short time later Lennier placed Garabosch outside of the locked workshop and he also gave him the ability to speak in the common tounge.Salathe wrote:Then there was the time when after the char/skill wipe, that ONLY silverbrand had capabilities of smelting and smithing. Where the tools could only be bought from a NPC that only speaks dwarven, whom also was locked away in silverbrand.
I don't know why the dwarves of the older days of illarion hunted your lizard and stroke him down. But I can say that no dwarf of these days would do something like that!Salathe wrote:It was quite suspicious i thought... that when i got these tools i was hunted and killed by SB. But it seemed a few grey rose members had these and SB didnt seem to care at all.
Don't blame us for the happenings years ago ( If you didn't wrote it to blame us, I'm sorry but it sounds like )! Nearly the whole SB community has changed, the was of RPing a dwarf too.
To go on... You have to know that the grey rose was and still is an ally of SB, so may they tolerated it because of that? Don't know for sure, was before my time.
May Irmorom was blind in the earlier days, but he isn't now! I can talk out of experience, he now punishes his race for actions like that.Salathe wrote:Then there is all the godly intervention that the dwarves seem to get even when they are doing as terrible shit as murdering people for smithing. Turning their backs on the island, and people that have very recently put their lives on the line to save silverbrand. Having the king come to town and insult citizens randomly, acting completely arrogant and picking fights with weak as entertainment (witnessed both ghorn and tialdin on several occasions completely instigates fights). Irmorom must be blind =P.
And I'm sure you also know that Tialdin was the first and Ghorn the second king. Btween them and the actual Queen Friedwulfa there were also 3 kings! Times has changed!
And we all know that PO Ghorn was a strange guy. May that was his way to show his power like he did with samantha or he just wanted to have fun, no matter what the other players thought? Don't know.
Again, I can't say much about Tialdin, missed his time as king of SB.
Thats a long time ago too! In these days you can mine in SB if you have a permission and no dwarf will immediately kill your char if he sees him mining without! Just get a permission and have fun.Salathe wrote:SB also had exclusive rights to certain ores for a while after the wipe. I got attacked for mining these as well. Another situation i thought that was odd after SO MANY ore deposits simply vanished into only silverbrand territory.
At the times of Thorwald the mine even was open for everyone and no permission was needed!

And now after you all complanied enough about SB and it's GM-Support you should think about it! As long as I'm a part of the community SB didn't get anything for free, the dwarves had to work hard for their support!
Now, we can get to the original reason of this thread! Matt cleared his point of view and Friedwulfa will know understand his words.
He wanted to find ways of helping SB out of the crisis and to reactivate the Goldburg PO's.
With posts like Salathes or Avalyons we won't get any chance to do so. And such posts, which only warms up old times or which points out SB is so damn pushed can be unwritten! Because it's not true and we're also not talking about the time years ago.
Thanks
