NOTICE of the Act's effect: PLEASE expand the description below.
By making any comment on this profile or any mods owned by me, you agree that your conduct will be enforced by the Counter Idiocy Act 2015.


The universe is not just infinite in its vastness, but also in its minuteness.
–The Great Gerangelos

An aesthetic judgement only becomes morality when we transfer the appraisal of the object to the subject, when we turn it into an attribution of responsibility (that someone 'ought' to like, do, or refrain from a particular aesthetic ideal). Why do we make this leap - what makes us want to attribute responsibility - is that it is powerful.

That law is not morality per se and is rather aimed at the protection and restriction of interests only - this goes to the 'function of law', as distinct from answering the question of 'what law is'. Because law is not a concept that we can inquire in the Socratic method, and find an answer a priori - but the Wittgensteinian sum of all examples, and sometimes those examples may have verged on one unified concept of law. However, if we are answering questions such as: 'why have law?' 'why was law created in the first place?' 'what function was law supposed to have, which was the interest for its creation?' then it is apt to examine the function of law. And to this we can say that it is not concerned with moral justifications for interests, but the balance of interests themselves, as a means to bridge the abyss which exists between each mode or class of thought, of ideas, and every culture when plain words do not carry meaning across. And in this way too we may see that law props up a certain imbalance of a power structure, because it can create the harmony for the dominant class to maintain its supremacy even when moral arguments with the lower classes fall on deaf ears.

4 Redistribution of Owner's Work
(1) In this Part:
A redistribution means an actual or attempted upload of the contents of the mod under any URL other than the one used by the Owner of the profile when the mod was uploaded.
(2) Any mod uploaded by the Owner of the profile onto the Steam Workshop must not be redistributed in any manner, part or whole, without the express permission of the Owner.

5 Permission to Redistribute
(1) Permission may be granted by the Owner of the profile by contacting the Owner either through a comment on Steam (whether on the profile or on the mod) or by other means.
(2) Permission will be granted by the Owner of the profile for a request to alter the mod for the purposes of a translation of the mod and subsequent upload of the translated version of the mod:
(a) if the request objectively represents a genuine request, and
(b) the Owner can reasonably infer that genuine attempts will be made to complete the translation and subsequent upload.
(3) After permission is granted, the upload of the mod by a subscriber must expressly acknowledge that they have sourced a part or whole of their mod from the Owner of the profile.

6 Failure to Comply with this Part
(1) Failure to comply with this Part will result in a report of the redistributor of the mod to relevant authorities. For example, a redistribution on Steam will lead to a report to Valve Corporation via Steam.

(b) The Owner does not have to endeavour to explain when in a situation that is time-pressed by other real life issues.

Part 4 Obligations of the Owner

10 Promises made by the Owner
(1) Any promise made by the Owner of the profile either on the profile, mod description of a mod owned by the Owner, or comment left anywhere on Steam by the Owner, will not be treated as immediately containing an intention to be legally binding under contract unless the Owner expressly provides otherwise in the promise.
(a) To avoid any doubt, the Owner will not impliedly intend a promise to be legally binding.

11 Liability of the Owner
(1) The Owner of the profile will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury incurred by the usage or download of mods published by the Owner either due to the negligence of the Owner or otherwise.

12 Implied Standards of the Owner

(2) It will be implied that any mod uploaded by the Owner will only be made publicly available when it is edited to the best of abilities.
(a) This Section does not limit the right of the Owner to upload a mod when not completed because it is in the interests of the community to do so, and this interest outweighs the interest of upholding the implied standard set by this Section.
(b) An interest of the community may include, but is not limited to:
(i) An interest in accessing the mod in an unfinished state or state that has not been edited to the best of abilities to avoid delay and waiting.

RoM is always open for new members, even if you can't do a lot

Can you please work on the LOTR mods. I want Orcs and The Evil Men
JustLeo 30 Sep, 2019 @ 7:21am 
Well, I am a submod dev and when I shared some pics of your stuff with the team we all agreed they were more than good enough
Admiral Vivec 28 Sep, 2019 @ 6:03pm 
I don't think they are good quality enough and I have learnt a lot more since making them. If I ever go back to LOTR modding I will, but I was using, for example, outdated texturing methods. I am also doing a lot of testing/modding for battle realism for total war though; if people ask for that I am happy to share.
JustLeo 27 Sep, 2019 @ 4:02pm 
Would you ever think of donating some of your models to Rise of Mordor or the submod? if so we would gladly except them.
