Whenever you call me a dumbass, because you stole my pop. I remember why I hate autumnal forest. People have higher level chars come and steal your kills and then berate you, or use moldy scrolls on you. Hell with that, theres a reason i stay on lyme.

im gonna lite you up like a fat blunt.[/quote:zw2ng9sc]
hehe classic :twisted:
Edited twice, what did I miss?
I need to know Zanax/Tripper main char, what clan hes in and who he is.
Mike
Medios,
Lets set the record straight here. Just because you are running a two man group in the autumnal doesnt mean all of the mobs are yours. Earlier last night, I hit a few of the smaller mobs with Zanax, mostly for gold and a little exp ( kender, harpy and miki). You and the other person you were grouping with were hitting the larger mobs, ie Dragon, warty, seeker, etc. I go back to town to bid on a few of the auctions, as Adagio / Baa was cleaning out his closets. When I returned to the autumnal, no one was there. Like a million times before, I start by killing the cleric. I’ve had him dispel me way too many times. During the battle, you and another char show up and start harrassing me with tells about how I am stealing your pop, snaking your kills etc. The reason I called you a dumbass was because all you had to do was ask, and I would have given you the gloves. I certainly dont need them. I even offered them to you later. So, if you want to hold a misunderstanding against me, so be it. I have always tried to be helpful on the mud, whether on vk or off, and have given eq and cash away to newbies many times. ( including the autumnal pops ). I certainly didnt use a moldy scroll on you, or anyone else for that matter. If you need to talk to me ingame, some of the characters I play include Karna, Tripper and Zanax.
PS: Send the 5mm to Tripper. He could use it after buying a cinq. last night.

You openly say this, then start your next run with cleric first? Look man, you checked all the pops then killed cleric because it loaded. Do not talk to me like im an idiot. You didnt kill kender, harpy and miki, you went straight for the cleric. I honestly dont care about the eq. I was letting my girlfriend lead me around and was going to let her deal with it. I was not going to let you take the fortune hunter, so yeh I said something. That sir is when you called me a dumbass and told me to go screw myself. All this because I asked if you planned on snaking fortune hunter? I think we got a little defensive didnt we? I want everyone to understand that I dont care about some crappy low level eq. I do however care about someone running off at the mouth. If you tell me to fuck off, or call me some random name at your discretion you can plan on facing my wrath. In real life you dont talk shit like this. or get your ass beat down. I cant be any more clear.
Mike
PS Oh I forgot, im never asking nicely for something that I have been killing. You think im going to beg for you to give me something, your crazy.
I already talked to both of you about this. You called him a thief, he called you a dumbass. Next time maybe we will be a little less hot headed and provoke the other guy, but as for now its over – let it go.
I want to take this opportunity to clarify something, because I saw in your gossip about pkilling people that you think are stealing your pops – this is not a pkilling mud. We, the admin, enforce the rules, not you the mortal. You can web, recall, etc, if you have a personal quarrel. Pkilling is only acceptable under the most dire of consequences, kind of like self-defense in rl. You had better make sure its gonna hold up to an immortal asking you about it, and this one certainly isnt going to hold up.
In rl, if you beat someone down for talking smack to you, you go to jail. Here, I dont care how big you are, you will get punished the same way. This would come in the form of level reductions, passworded for a while or a wipe.
Thanks,
Krom

See this doesnt happen off vk, and that was the whole point.
Mike
Just out of intrest, we’re not alowed to take any action in the event that someone stole a real, off-valk pop now?
I don’t think the argument is quite what you think it is here. Killing the cleric first is very common for safety since it will attack sleepers and dispel anyone it sees in battle. Its not a hard mob, gloves aren’t that sought after, but the cleric will almost always die first because the mob itself is a pain in the ass if you leave him alive. I do it myself unless I’m killing the mobs near Miki only. Its just not safe to leave him alive.
I understand the argument about the cleric, however I was killing the area for many many cycles, and the cleric was never the first mob to die. Not by us and not by him.
Mike
PS Hah , Rynquald you know what im gonna do. It wouldnt be fair to let them rent with the eq :)
Of course :)
Well, for stealing a real pop you could do the things Krom mentioned. Web, recall, silence - anything short of actually causing the other person’s death.
Perhaps more effective though would be to let other players know about the actions. Other players here might make it a point to be mean to that person as well. At some point, that player would probably wipe the char and start over, if that reputation persists. It’s just the golden rule, repeated for our little environment.
You could perhaps call them names, like poop head, or Mr. Ugly pants.
He was killing the mob some, you were killing the mob some, area empty, he is killing the mob. You say oh we were killing him, and really needed the gaunts, im sure he gives you the gaunts. People will be reasonable if you are reasonable to them, for the most part.
We like to foster a friendly playing environment. Friendly means you talk to the person first, not immediately threaten them. I dont want to babysit anyone, just get along and have fun, thats what its all about.
PS True story, I was running autumnal a while back myself, and left the area because I needed to afk for a min. Normally, I set a spirit watcher, but this time for some reason I didnt, no one was around or running the area besides me. I run back and see my mob, the maimed elf, actually poped (and this was after like 20 tries), but someone had ran in there and was killing him. I talked to him, and even though I know I left myself in a bad position by leaving the area and no spirit watcher (especially autumnal!) he was nice enough to let me finish the kill and get the mace. See it can all work out… :)
That was probably Lockjaw, I remember when it happened. Im apparently hard to get along with, so ill just keep my mouth shut and run with my friends(off vk).
Mike
krom…..
dont you think you are a little big to be cycling in autumnal?
loser :twisted:
So I get from this that it’s okay to ruin someones day as long as you want with webs blind silence sleep etc, but you can’t kill them once and just get it over with. Probably better to drive them off entirely by making any attempt at gameplay worthless.
A side note: I think it’s worth mentioning that VK is very unfriendly. You never know who is in which newb and a majority of them are bots/kill stealers, or will just shit talk you endlessly. I know damn well that Karna would not have pulled that shit if it had been Medios and Daedalus and Karna, but under the cloak of anonymity, EVERYTHING IS OK! WELCOME TO THE INTERNETZ!!
No sense of accountability. I know if I pkill someone that I am going to suffer the consequences. If I do it, you can believe that I am mad enough not to give a damn about someone passwording me or taking some levels. Characters can be made and xp is like water. Your (percieved) pride is your own.
Well, that just shows you CAN get along with people, Mike.
Auto – I have a ton of characters, I test pretty much everything out, check out every area, have raised up 6 different primary class characters to see what it is like, and have grouped with every one of you probably 100 times. I came in to sloth as a player in late 92 and have always felt that in order to make a contribution I needed to really understand how things work, and the only way to do that is to live it by playing, autumnal forest and all.
Besides that, I enjoy playing… :wink:
Balrog you 100% right.

Can I hear the end official version about webs/blinds/sleep/blah blah from the immorts? ‘Cause Krom says it’s OK, but then Clink gets mad when we do it.
Thanks.

We dont expect you to be a bane to the mud or harass someone continually. Attempting to disrupt someone when they are leading a group or generally actions disrupting a group because of a personal grudge are considered being a bane to the mud.
But, you need some method to take action though if you think the circumstances are dire enough. So its a fine line – if you feel your action is defensible and it puts no one else in danger besides the character you have the problem with and does not amount to continual harrassment so they cant play, im sure you can come up with some creative stuff. Again, we would prefer to see you resolve it in a friendly fashion first. Think of it as a real world scenario – you have a problem with someone, how would you handle it? Certainly some actions would end you up in jail or getting punished. Like I said, I dont want to baby sit the mud, but you can always ask an immort for assistance too – id rather you do that than attempt to pkill someone, because in the end we get involved anyways.
Known pthief is of course an exception to all this.
deep bow
i have my moments :wink:
Thanks for the nice answer, Krom :)
That is prob the best picture Jason has ever posted. On a side note. Chrissy doesnt want to play sloth much anymore. Her thief Kail , just like all thieves, really sucks right now with the stablag. She just wanted to play a n00b and learn some stuff on her own and try to have a good time. Well long story short, she didnt have a good time in her n00b and told me last night shes probably not going to play this semester. I pretty much made Minstrel so that me and her could 2 man. So since Im bummed out about this whole mess, im just gonna play Dogs and keep to myself. If you need anything ICQ me , I will prob be notell. No more getting mad about bots in my groups and having to tell everyone 1000 times what to do. Have fun.

Try your thief(s) recently? There is no stablag for several days now – I can still get in my circle or blast before the mob gets its first round of attacks in most cases…
Thanks Krom

Hell is quite nice this time of year, especially with the deep freeze hitting the States. Die and come stay awhile :twisted:
