*/ posted in conflicts for lack of a better place /*

After all these threads about how well RP'd the brute-force ferry 'muggings' are; I have to say I was quite disapointed in the experience. The story is this: I successfully defended 3 people on the Xing->Leth ferry and what did I get for my skill and responses? A very lackluster, "your perception ownz me" (paraphrased), 1 lost diopside (och!), a warning to not point again, and a focus from hiding (gee, not a TM spellzorz!!!11).

I will grant that I stepped out of character in not killing you straight up, but only because I, the player, wanted to see this great RP adventure up front. I guess next time, I have only one recourse, to kill you.

4 macroed reactions to getting caught on the first try, an OOC comment, and an unresolved conflict. /snore

You use macros because you have only 'so much time' before the spells and arrows fly? You didn't even give a half-chance for me to participate. If death and favors are of no concern to you, then I do not understand why I was not allowed to reply with my own version of adventure which was not macrod, just a couple of acts, and such.

You simply used game mechs to avoid any RP whatsoever. Hope you had fun.

"... and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

My issue, and reason for posting in the first place wasn't to highlight the stealing... I'll compliment that aspect. Spamming macros is not RP.

I wasn't part of it. I didn't even feel like a victim. All in all, its better to just kill him, rather than try to RP.

"... and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

he fishes too hard for a conflict.

He stole from me as I was digging my grave (gem from pouch) and I was rather irritated. This was my first encounter with him and i didn't know if he was snert material or not so I sought some assistance. He then chased me around zapping me for a bit, even while at the autopuff. Finally, he discussed it with me in whispers and allowed me to RP it out with him very generously. I was impressed. Thanks Ragran for the RP experience (no sarcasm). Now keep yer friggin hands off me till at least my former corpse warms a bit! ;)

We are just trolling the boards like you

::chuckle:: I am just amused Ragran's player that you assume it takes most players any real effort to post. As if it's this hugely angst filled, deeply thought out concept, sweat on the brow etc. I mean this bit of dribble took me what thirty seconds to write?

Jim

p.s: As a side note, I don't feel that your character is a threat to my characters, I the player am amused by your antics in the game and the acrobatic verbal twisting attempts you make on the bbs to qualify what you have Ragran do. :>

>I remember fondly him flying off the handle about "little geeky nerds" sitting at a computer desk "talkin lots of [trash] and offering to come find them and see how much [trash] they talk then." Sadly no one ever took him up on it.. he's a 6'3" 220ish lb cajun redneck who likes to be violent..

They probably would talk even more trash after he found them...when he was in jail.

I suppose using the word sarcasm...

nevermind..

That is quite funny. I laughed my a** off when I read that.

I'd say that was a clear and concise reply by Praxis. Ragran's player the problem is what I am seeing posted by Praxis is pretty common from anyone who's had dealings with Ragran in the game. If you repeatly see these sort of posts laying out rather clearly that you do the same repeated thing, what do you think players are supposed to think?

That there is some wicked conspircey to discredit your role-playing? To make you look like a snert? I mean seriously what I see is that your vision of role-play is one where your character does all the actions and talking and the other party does not. Once they do start to react whether verbal or otherwise your already going into leet killz mode. That's not role-play as most of us judge it, sorry it's not.

Oh and before I forget (silly that I have to say this but I've seen far to many of your replies whether directed at me or others imply this), I hold no personal grudge or ill feelings against you or your character. I am simply stating my opinion based on what I observe by your characters actions with my characters and as reported by other players.
I do not lose any sleep, my sex drive doesn't take a dive, I dont take up heavy drinking nor do I beat my children or pets because of what your character does in the game. Mostly I am amused by your characters antics and your own verbal antics on the bbs.

Sad that I had to write a paragraph on about this, but having seen far to many of your posts where you assume players are mad beyond all belief I feel that it is one of those things that has to be done like the small print on a contract when ever I post to you. The lesson I think that you should take from these rather consistant posts from players directed at you, is that you are indeed doing something wrong. You will not be able to correct this till you admit that you are indeed doing something wrong.

:oP Ragran

::chuckle:: Admit it Adam, you've always wanted to say that in bold and all capital letters on these bbs. :>

Jim, who will admit to wanting to say much worse at various times over the years.

Sabbath rawks! Ozzy wasn't always "so" drug-addled... and he was a total peacenik!

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah.

Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.

Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the bodies burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!
--Black Sabbath, War Pigs

:oP Ragran

"War Pigs", and "N.I.B" are actually 2 of my favorite songs. In total, I've seen them perform about 40 times, including the Ozzy, RJ Dio, and Ian Gillian eras. I even saw Rob Halford as lead singer once. My first experience was in 1980, the infamous Black and Blue Tour.

Trippy good times.

I see I was likely correct in posting here. :P

"... and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

>We are talking about Black Sabbath and BOC right?

Thats the only Black and Blue tour that mattered. I still have the concert baseball shirt (those 3/4 sleeve things) from that tour -- its for my zone-room when ever I get around to building one.

>I think we are off topic.

Yeah, probably. I'll quit now.

<<I posted to compliment your RP ya big fat oaf! :P>>

I know. That's why I called all of them witless and stupid and you really really smaht! Cuz you is...and stuff.

Yeah, Ragran stole from me once. He stole my heart....

Uh.. I mean.. I hate'm!
