I know this may bring flames. I really am not interested.
I started mudding on sloth back in the very very early 90’s. On Sloth II, I was Drew. On Sloth III, I have at least three main characters.
I have seen lots of changes on Sloth, including the growth of it’s fan base and how many new players there are.
I was impressed for quite some time by this mud.
Now, just like most things, I am sickened by it.
There weren’t clans when this mud started.. in fact, I think one of the players I know personally and introduced to this mud, spawned some of the ideas for clans. Now, clans have become nothing short of cliques. Ways for people to exclude others and shun people they don’t personally like. They are also ways for people to bully other players.
Which brings me to my next subject. There are people on this mud that make it hard to enjoy for many other characters. Other characters that don’t want to say anything because they would rather just have a good time without the confrontation. Which is wise, because of the impact of the cliques on the mud.
And third, the immorts turn a blind, non challant eye to almost all of the rules, provided that the “right person” has committed the infraction.
Otherwise, LOOK OUT.
All I can say at this point is, where do I vote? Because I would like to vote for my favorite mud!
Alexus
For those who have no idea what she’s talking about, heres the wrapup.
Alexus and Van were fighting over Elemental School and Alexus starting harassing him until he pkilled her.
Neither of them corpsed. No one was punished.
No one cares.
Cheers

Oh God, whining about the deserved pkill is so lame. (If you ask me, I won’t bitch if someone kills me while having a long argue or something.) It’s sometimes much quicker and really, that’s not like killing a lowbie, so letting imms know that is.. childish :)
(imho)
Someone mudmail Alexus a box of Kleenex and some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Perhaps a dvd of Sleepless in Seattle as well or another similar movie.
If your not a steaming pile of cow flop, people tend to not do that to you.
Id back up Van every day of the week. You must have been truly stupid.
Boo-Hoo

This mud has always been about who you know. Thats one of its coolest
features – clans only enforce this.
There will always be bullied and bullies.
There will always be the shunned and the shunners. (I refuse to use shunnied!)
Cliques started forming between classes thousands of years ago, and still do it to this day – I mean “why not?”. :roll:
Well, I do not harass mudders. And, for you pkilling may be fun. For me, that is harassment.
Boo hoo if you like to think of it that way. Without rules there would be no mud and no forum.
If you enjoy pkilling, keep it amongst your fans. Because it is against the rules on this mud, which is part of why this mud is popular.
And, if you enjoy bullying people, well, trust me, the truth always rears its head, and people already know you for who you are.
Go ahead and be an ass. But always know, if you do it to me, you will be whined about forever and I can whine REALLY REALLY LOUDLY!
Alexus
It still amazes me that men try to make up for their penis size, even on a MUD.
Wouldn’t you like to have some berries to go with that twig?
Alexus
Wouldn’t you like to have some berries to go with that twig?
Sounds like someone here is in need of berries and twig herself.
OMFG, I just don’t know what a person should do to make Van mad, he’s usually very calm guy. If you can’t solve your problems without letting whole mud know at tard levels, well, you suck.
Go get a fuck or something, this whining is really annoying.
(sorry, tired, angry, blah-blah)
There you go talking about stuff you know nothing about.
It wasn’t a ‘deserved’ pkill. That is why Clink pkilled him back. As lame as a punishment that it was.. it was because he got me raised.
Why? So he didn’t get wiped I imagine.
And I have something for you.
WHINE
WHINE

I can do that all day!
I am very good at it. And, I am very loud.
See, you hear me already!
Alexus
Well nods, go ahead, report everything, accuse everyone, I wonder how many friends here you’ll have soon.

The best part about this thread is this. Whether Alexus likes the mud or not, the sun will still rise tomorrow morning and set again in the evening.
I like your sleeves, they’re real big.

I guess I’m just tired of dealing with people at work, so I apologize if this sounds a little frustrated. What’s the point though? Can’t we deal with interpersonal problems ourselves? In any group of people, there will be some that don’t get along with others. If you don’t get along with someone, it’s a large mud there should be room to avoid certain people. Alexus, I’ve grouped with you and always enjoyed it. I’m sure there are a lot of people here that you get along with.
So, stick with the people you like. Take a chance sometimes on people that you haven’t played with in the past. Avoid the people you know you don’t enjoy being around.
Everyone expects a little argument or fight once in awhile. Sometimes both people in an argument have a valid viewpoint and both have some reason to be angry. Still, it’s a game and most people come here to have fun. If you forgive the other person, it’s quite possible that you may enjoy their company in the future.
Good luck,
Charles
As a side note. Don’t shoot down clans just because you had a disagreement with someone. Dogs of War had a clan long before it was put in game. We fought for each other and defended each other just the same as we do now that we have ktalk channel. We strive to find the best members, players who can solo, group, and try to make sloth more fun, not less.
I started thinking back to my whole time on sloth. I cant remember a time where a mortal pkd me. I have snaked someones area for quick coins. If I caught you sleepin whos fault is it. Coin mobs have always been a race. Its just coins. There are how many mobs on this game? Elemental school does have some nice coins but its hardly worth started a pr war that cannot be won. If a mob loads eq and you blatantly take the eq, I would consider that stealing and a reason to get pkd. Coins are not a reason to get upset.
On another note:
I would also like to say that “attention” players are spotted just as easily as bots. We all know who you are. You come and go usually to the sound of. Im not voting, or I hate you, only to come back awhile later and start again with a new name. Remember in school how a kid would run and tell the teacher every time someone beat him up. Then eventually everyone was kicking his ass and the teacher didnt believe him cuz she was tired of hearing it. Then remember the kid who stood up to the bully and gave him a black eye. What happened to that guy?
Mike
What happened to that guy?[/quote:z7ulkcja]
He takes a gun and kill all his stupid classmates and the teacher, right?
There you go! What did happen to that guy?
I have smoked quite a few bullies actually, but I often had to. Being a military brat and moving around.. I learned that I had to stand up for myself.. and over and over again because I moved. I may not be in the mud all the time.. I don’t live there. But I have been there a long time. And I just keep showing up. And you can count on me to whine about injustice.. It is in my nature.
I’ll admit though.. forgiveness is not my strong suit.. Perhaps because I have a memory like an elephant.

No offense or anything, but in my 12 years of mudding I have found that muds that allow pking tend to attract more people.

That’s because there are so many a$$holes out there …imho, of course. :twisted:
I can’t help myself :(
The best part of this is.. the hipocrites who criticize me about all of this… and then jump into alternate characters and follow me as the leader of their group. Hehe. If that isn’t a big bully with low self esteem, I don’t know what is.
Get real! And, like I said earlier today, does anyone want to borrow my balls? I think they might be a little heavy, but hey, better than no balls at all.
Seriously, anyone here mush or muck or moo too?
Alexus
Finally I want to address the black eye that Medios just posted about. So many mudders think I should just pkill Van and that he should learn by that as a lesson. There are two problems with this. One is that this action would make me a hippocrite myself, and two it would subject my pchar to even more harsh punishment as was publicly declared by Clink.
When Van was pkilling me, I snored. Literally I snored and waited. I did not recall. Despite the fact that I had recalled moments before when he webbed me.
Why didn’t I recall? Because by allowing him to pkill me I exposed his character flaws. He is a bully!
I have never seen Van lead a large group around on the mud. Maybe I just haven’t been around on the rare occasion that he has done so. But, I haven’t seen it. That doesn’t mean I haven’t grouped with him though.
I have led large groups of mudders for years. Despite the fact that I am lazy or don’t want to learn new areas, large groups of people continue to follow me. People trust me and like me. They may not want to be involved in the drama of scenarios like this, but believe me, they watch.
Although not everyone may agree with what I say, many people know my character on this mud and know.. And, to me, a blight on the character of someone like this will last much longer than the black eye of a pkill.
If you don’t get it.. sorry iq points are not able to be acquired. You either have em or you don’t.
That is why I whine. It is not the squeal of a child scorned in a class room, but rather the roar of one who will not be bullied and knows how to do the damage without the childs play.
Character assasination complete.
shut the fuck up thank you
btw, Alexus, I think you are using a pic which Falsra uploaded for himself, that’s a lil bit confusing for reading the crier
I’ve been trying to stay out of this, but I think it should be mentioned that Van was surprised when Alexus died that easily. It seems that spell does a little more damage than he was expecting it to. The fact Van had Alexus raised shows he was expressing frustration more than any genuine desire to harm Alexus’ character. Pretty much for the same reason Alexus says that Clink killing Van was a non-punishment.
I don’t have an issue with either of these characters. They handled the situation they were in poorly, it happens sometimes. If you could turn the flame down some, now would be a good time.
