d

In the Depth of the Pit

The pit has been dug very hastily, as though only time mattered to the

digger, not quality. The earth is pretty damp since not much water

vaporizes in an autumnal climate under the heavy layer of fallen leaves.

The walls lack cross-beams and look like they would cave in with first

heavy rain. It would have caved in long ago, were it not for entangled

cobwebs of the trees’ roots piercing the ground and ensuring some support.

Exits: Up

A slice of a young gang member is lying on the ground. [3]

look seek

The man looks like he hasn’t had a decent meal in a few months. He is

close to the point of total emaciation, his face is a mass of hair jungle:

a long, matted moustache that joins an equally long beard. His clothes

are tattered grey rags, and his only weapon is a greasy shovel with which

he digs determinedly. To all appearances, the treasure hunter will either

find his dear fortune or wilt trying.

The fortune hunter is in excellent condition.

Trajan recites a scroll of recall.

The South Gate of Newbatia

A rutted dirt roadway leads north between a pair of squat square towers

that mark the southern limit of the thriving community of Newbatia. Heavy

traffic moves between the town and the aerial docks to the south. The

road is lit by regularly spaced lanterns hanging from brass poles. Mountains

are visible on the southwestern horizon.

A large sign with info for newbies has been placed here.

A large note dispenser, with a button on the top, is here against the wall.

There are two sides to every story. Careful manipulation of copy-paste might lead one to think one way, when in reality, it was something else entirely. I,myself, who have chosen to make this thread about me, can rest assure you that I am, in fact, subject of the same censorshippingism. Oh, the Imm’s don’t normally interfere in mortal matters.

Happy Humpday [That’s Wednesday for the non-informed]

:twisted:

Stupid is taking action without really knowing the situation.

From your side of the story, Static, the other player was definitely out of line and should not have recalled you.

But, I don’t know the other side, maybe he had been cycling for the last 10 hours, had the mob posted in his title, and was regening in the room above? That would put you as the offending party in my book. In which case you probably got off easy. javascript:emoticon(’:twisted:')

Twisted Evil

Almost everyone here is quite decent when approached with the facts. Well, most of us anyway.

What is stupid is taking action and maybe starting a silly war without really knowing the story, although we have had the occasional player who thought this was what the mud was about.

Anyone can make a hasty judgement every once in a while. Best not to take it too seriously. Forgive and forget and you may find that character is your running buddy next month.

We lost a “real” newbie from our mud last month due to crap like this. He rudely complained when someone “stole” his mobs and further pissed him off. A couple of 5x40 heard one side of it and gave him the “treatment”, blind, web, slept, attempted idol dive, etc. Not good for a sub level 20 new to the game.

When this crap happens, it best to talk the other party and give it a day to get perspective. Hell, the mob wasn’t even loaded. (Well this ran way too long)

hell i do that to random people for fun… or i’ll just pkill you and leave you for dead.. either way i still get my fun..

:twisted:

Quit lying auto….u’ve always raised me after pkilling me in town.

Resouh

I guess newbatia is the friendliest continent after all.

My apologies for recalling Static. Perhaps the wandering young punks in the autumnal forest near the fortune hunter should have been a sign that someone was cycling said fortune hunter. Now thanks to someones inquiry my password has been locked out.

quit tarnishing my evul bastard reputation or next time! i’ll leave you there dying and shag your woman!

muahahahahahahaha :twisted:

You cant be serious.

They locked your password for the 1x action of recalling a player? With half the crap that goes on this mud, that they take action on, and plock a player?

If it is that simple, thats really dissapointing. Is it any wonder sloth is in 6th place in voting?

well anywhere but VK i would probably agree

i think penalties for being a downright asshole

should be stronger there, since that;’s where we

send new players to learn.

although im not sure i would have plocked the character for it

i may have rerolled them tho

Plocked over a first time recall? I bet there is more to the story. Much much worse has been done with no action.

It really depends on the Immortal involved with the problem. When the same thing happened to my newb I just resorted to threatening the guy. This will make you feel better but does not do much good. The only response I got was that if I retaliate then I will be in trouble. So the story sounds fishy to me. There is no punishment for recalling someone. It seems fairly petty to me.

Accepted 5 prime level loss to get character back. Henchforth bloody piles of mob corpses shall mark my presence.

seriously must be more to it..

but glad nobody leaving over it.

Let dead dogs lie already. I hate it when you guys go on and on. If you people could let all parties involved hash things out without all the innuendo, it would be a better all around.

How do you know it was a real newbie and why wasn’t this addressed? The same treatment was given to Fyrstenheart, unfairly I might add, and he left awhile and had to start over with a new secret,secret char. My point being, harrassing other char’s makes no sense whatsoever. We should all check ourselves in these situations. Hated that “realnewbie’ had this happen. Someone should have stepped in and corrected the situation,explain mud-politics to the newb etc., or at least brought it to the crier.

Plocked for a recall? Loss of 5 levels? The story doesn’t justify it.

I think a newbie who’s trying to steal seeker as a solo should know better than to whine to immorts about being recalled once. I would think most of us have broken in on someone’s run b4. Let’s cry, I had to regen cause I got recalled in the middle of a fight

–Seeker didn’t pop anyway – Then we’d have a real fight. (got popcorn?)

Fyrsten gave a newb that treatment for not buying an item he

and F. went off on him with the full treatment. Luckily Daedalus and

Ok 13, I almost took the bait but realizing what an attention whore you are, I decided to overlook your many faults. However, with regards to Fyrst, you sir, are full of bunk. You and your clique of hog lovers decided that Fyrst needed killing since he didn’t take any of your crap. You think you can bully around and to a small extent you get away with it. However, your reputation(s) precede you from your ingame and crier attitudes/responses that shows how silly and insecure you really are. Shame. Oh, feel free to swear more, maybe one day when you older than 14, you’ll hopefully realize how immature it makes you.

“bark bark bark, woof woof!” – tiger –>an american tail, fievel goes west

Anyhow guys, this topic has gone long enough.

Enuff with the rants and badgerings..

Im sincerely forwarding my apologies if everyone feels that Im such a whiner for bringing a discrepancy up to crier.

For me, I would have expected

(1) Someone to tell me off

“Hey jerk, you are killing my runs, can u git ?”

“I got here first, do you mind ?”

“I have been cycling this, I want the spot back after this mob”

etc..etc..

(2) Let me finish off the mob and tell me off 1)

(3) If the mob didnt load, “Thanks for killing it, saves me 1 run”

(4) If the mod did load, “Thats was my run, can I have the item”

In any circumstances, I would have finished killing the mob and got myself out of anyones way, and if it did pop, hand over the item ( if it wasnt Personal flag ).

And yes Trajan, I did notice the thugs that was charmed out of town around Autumnal ( identifies someone was cycling area ).

Thats why I always do a ‘Where’ cmd to see who is in map.

And when I saw no-one, I solo-ed holy cleric, wandering kender, and 3 punks which I use embalm corpse for peri etc.

In that whole time, no one came back to Autumnal, which I assume was free for my taking. The seeker was in ‘Excellent Condition’ even if u did a 2-run to regen and kill him. To me, it was identified as no one touched him, just repop, and time to kill him.

But the moral of story here isnt about breaking someones run, stealing loots, player killing or hashing it out with each other over tells/reply with harassment or unproductive arguments, until someone has to quit and make ‘secret’ chars.

I was just trying to make a point to the public, that anyone can manipulate the system by a simple use of recall. And since there is no argumentative definition of a rule to using that ’exploit’, there is also no pre-defined penalty for using it. So anyone can get away with it ?

To the folks, yea yea, you would do any of the above mentioned ‘just for fun’ and laugh over it in ctalk, gossip, tells etc. But thats because you have been here long enough to joke around with each other as a token of friendship.

When two newbies or strangers, who have never interacted with each other do, its a whole different story.

Give it a rest, time to forgive and forget. Aplogies have been made, and I hold no grudges against Trajan. Im sorry if the Immortals had to take a step into this dispute. Im not into mud-politics, but all I ask for, from players is fairplay, courtesy and practise good etiquettes.

Finally, my apologies to Imm staffs, Trajan and the people of Sloth for any inconvenience caused.

applaud Good thing bc I just ran out of popcorn.

Tap you’re 100% wrong, I don’t know where you get your information, but they lied. As for swearing, that’s just how I roll with my limited intelligence

and my picayune vocabulary. Did ya expect me to come out and say

Dear sir,

I am terribly aggravated with your continued misbehavior and tendency

towards falsehoods. Sustained action of this sort will surely result in the

loss of your precious life within the game. It will not be tolerated by myself

and the upstanding members of the ‘Dogs of War’ clan. Thank you for your

time.

Sincerely,

All talk there mr. Pirate, we all hung out for a good 2-3 hours over in Indy and the most you went for from the lady was a hug. Now I appreciate it, if you were just being polite because of me, but I really think you are just one big (well slightly skinny) teddy bear. :)

Better watch it Resouh I found him in one of these meetings before.

nods Todd is the teddy bear, I will amend my last comment towards you auto, I’ve never heard of a teddy bear using language anywhere near as vulgar as you can spout at a moments notice.

and yinao, nice yellow dress in the picture, didn’t know u were a CSC member as well:)

resouh

I always thought the rules were pretty clear on this kind of stuff. At least they used to be.

If you are cycling a mob and your not sitting on it, it’s up for grabs.

From a non-rule perspective you are also a dick if you kill it it knowing someone is cycling it and if you don’t know it’s being cycled and somone shows up you appologise and find a way to make it right.

It’s also been pretty clear that if you maliciously screw with another player you can be subject to immortal punishment if they bitch about it. Near as I can remember it’s always been this way. Did things change while I was gone?

Seems like the imms took a pretty standard action in this case.

Snicker That was Auto with a pre-shag with your woman :shock:

So you’re saying Auto looks like a white ‘80’s michael jackson?

That’s messed up man.

resouh

Truth hurts throw a pirate cap on him and a hook with a side of a peg leg and you got yourself a pirate :twisted:

Regarding this incident, the standard action is for Imms to do what they think needs to be done. If you want more information, ask one of the imms. It’s clear that the whole story isn’t posted here, and I bet that it won’t be.

In the end, it turns out that Sloth is a game where you play with other people over the internet. If you’re mean to those people, they will be mean to you in return.

nice summation Avatar :)

I was not personally involved, but I think Mahkra and Avatar pretty much captured the reasoning behind the punishment. I would like to emphasize that I think 95% of these types of incidents can be resolved peacefully if both players keep their cool and talk. I dont understand what would make a person lose their cool and either go off on someone else or take action to disrupt their play without discussion.

Take a minute, ask nicely, and if that doesnt work consider some other action. We need to try a bit harder to get along. In the real world, if things dont go your way, you dont get far by going off on someone, trying to kill them, run them off the road, or whatever. Consider that next time you have “mud rage” ;)

did you just coin a new phrase erik?
