It was also around this time that the first true notion of complaining about LOTA came to be. LOTA, the “[[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]]”, was an in-character alliance of Kirav, Urcea, Kistan, Kuhlfros, and the Latin Empire. It was the most powerful alliance in-universe (especially during the era of game stats) and generally complaints were lobbied that its power stifled roleplay. In retrospect I will admit there was probably some truth in this - fear of a LOTA intervention in one’s affairs probably did, indeed, stifle roleplay. This time period was probably the first high watermark for LOTA. LOTA was opposed by the Darklanders ICly (and OOCly) and, despite clear superiority, the Darklanders, and particularly CESP, argued for their superior based on technological means and other questionable WMD developments. This gave rise, later, to the reference of deus ex machina in game technology as “Norftek” (in reference to the Northern Union, or the Darklands), also used as a term of general mockery for players claiming technological superiority. | It was also around this time that the first true notion of complaining about LOTA came to be.
