TOPIC 3: Types of knots

 The knots are very important techniques to do, below we are going to bring you closer types of knots


We went through a very well known source, "wikipedia" looking for really good types of knots.

This list of knots includes many alternative names for common knots and lashings. Knot names have evolved over time and there are many conflicting or confusing naming issues. The overhand knot, for example, is also known as the thumb knot. The figure-eight knot is also known as the savoy knot or the Flemish knot.


  • Adjustable bend – can be easily lengthened or shortened
  • Adjustable grip hitch – a simple hitch which may easily be shifted up and down the rope while slack
  • Albright special – used to tie two different diameters of line together, for instance to tie monofilament to braid
  • Alpine Butterfly (also known as Butterfly Loop) - a static loop mostly used by mountain climbers and rappellers for securing a carabiner to static rope.
  • Alternate ring hitching – covering a ring in hitching can prevent damage
  • Anchor bend – attaching a rope to a ring or similar termination
  • Angler's loop – knot which forms a fixed loop. Useful for fine or slippery line, it is one of the few loop knots which holds well in bungee cord.
  • Arbor knot – attach fishing line to the arbor of a fishing reel
  • Artillery loop a.k.a. manharness knot – a knot with a loop on the bight for non-critical purposes
  • Ashley's bend – used to securely join the ends of two ropes together
  • Ashley's stopper knot – trefoil-faced stopper at the end of the rope
  • Axle hitch – used to tie a hitch in a hard-to-reach place

Britannica inform:
The overhand knot is the simplest type of knot and is used to make a knob in a rope, string, or cord. It is used for tying packages, to keep rope ends from fraying, and as a first step in making more complex knots such as the surgeon’s knot and the square knot. An overhand knot is made by crossing the rope end around the standing part to form a loop, bringing the rope’s end through the loop, and pulling the rope taut. A slipknot results when, in tying an overhand knot, a loop instead of the rope’s end is slipped through the first loop. 

Such a knot is easily slipped loose by pulling on its free end. Shoelaces are usually tied with a double slipknot. A square knot is composed of two overhand knots turned in opposite ways. It flattens when pulled tight, making it useful in first aid and for tying packages. A surgeon’s knot is an elaborated form of the square knot; it is composed of two overhand knots turned in opposite ways but with an additional twist taken after the first overhand is tied. This allows the parts of the rope to be held in place by friction until the second overhand is tied. The knot derived its name from its surgical use in tying a ligature around a cut artery.

NEW PROYECT

This project has started with a conversation on Discord about the priorities that are needed in today's world, joining forces for a common goal during 2020 has created a very strong awareness regarding their respective places in the Realm of the development team. Storm. Realm of the Storm is International in nature but many people who help or work with Realm of the Storm also come from developing countries or countries with difficulties of all kinds.


Precedents

There are precedents that video games want to collaborate on humanitarian reasons, the creator of Fornite has invested millions of dollars in saving forests in North Carolina with the aim of protecting and preserving forest lands. Hellblade donates thousands of dollars to the charitable society Rethink Mental Illness to support people with mental illness. Realm of the Storm does not want to be left behind in its contribution to humanity.

The reflection for Realm of the Storm is to be able to contribute more than a single game, the development team now wants to also strive to contribute something that everyone needs. We would like to continue growing to become an NGO or collaborative association.

The world is not a video game, the world needs solutions to problems, not only due to the pandemic but many structural problems that have been occurring for a long time.

Our goal is to draw the attention of the United Nations or other humanitarian or cooperation organizations such as (Alboan.org, World Vision, Acumen, Oxfam International, Alianza por la solidariedad, Actionaid, PIH and DRC, among others.


Objectives

The objective of a possible future Realm of the Storm –NGO is to carry out potential collaborative projects or different types of organizations of a similar nature, in addition to offering our humanitarian side or our entire community of the Realm of the Storm- video game.
