Tom Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Is it considered against the multi-ing rule to log off and onto a different char for RP reasons? Say, you spot six of another char's friends all playing tag, and you want in, but the one you have logged in would just eat them all? Discuss.

Chayesh Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 That's sort of OOC but kind of unavoidable. Now, get PKed, log off, log on another and take revenge and they'll be finding pieces of you in the Dune Sea in FL 4.0. And logging on lowbies to check if someone else is on is something we've been telling players not to do for some time now. That is, logging on lowbie without log timer, check who, log off, log on pinn character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it could be sheer coincedence but I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I personally see nothing wrong with logging on a good level 20, seeing nobody around to group with, noticing that your evil level 20 has some people he could group with, and so logging onto him after you can log off the good. Yeah, it's OOC knowledge, but some levels of OOC are acceptable when it comes to that kind of thing. I AM against what Chayesh said, logging on a lowbie just to check "who" and quit, or dying, quitting, and logging on someone to kill that guy. But sometimes you'll be on one char, notice someone's on who another char NEEDS to talk to (IMMs, cabal leaders, etc.), and switch then... I've got no problem with that either. Now, of course, if the IMMs don't hold this point of view, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I know this is pretty crappy but when I had access to wiznet and I noticed a lowbie log off and a high ranked char log on and it was someone who had applied for knight or something like that I'd immediately go wizi and snoop them. If they weren't disappointed that I was gone shortly after they logged on or went into some rp or pk with someone else then I became vis again to see what they wanted or whatever. I was just about as sorry a god as I am now a mort....hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 What became ridiculous is that people keep lowbie-under 10 characters to log on and check for certain people or cabals/enemies of their pinns. It was quite the recurring theme and began to really bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 It's no different now I think. One caballed char logs on, then right soon after vendetta caballed char does. I know sometimes it can be happenstance but I'm also fairly certain that sometimes it's a lowbie seeing that pinn on and looging his pinn on shortly after. Maybe just not as prevalent as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Some muds only allow people to have on character at a time. To me this is both very good and very bad. What do you all think, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Heck no. I have six characters at the moment, four of which are above lvl 35. I cannot focus on only one character, I'd be deleting it every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 So true. I've got 13, at least. But I know that's a little crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 When I used to play all the time, I had over 30 usualy. Most of which were over lvl 35. I had no life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 If I have a character at pinn, I usually can't play any other characters. I try, but I get to about 5th rank or so, then delete because I'd rather be playing at pinn. Which means if I'm annoyed or frustrated on my pinn, I log and go throw tables at people on half-life 2. I would tend to agree with Pali about the logging in with different characters. I think logging in on a rank 1 char just to see if any new players/players who are going to give you a whipping are on is a bit silly. Suck it up and log your pinn..

Fiere Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yeah, I don't even get the motive behind that. With a pin, you're pretty much done. I mean, you've achieved your major goal, in most cases. So, the only thing that' left is to have fun. Just log on whenever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Because some people only log on when there are/aren't opposed cabals online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yeah, I know, but I still think it's weird. If I was in a cable, I'd just get on to kick crap-I.E. kick the crap out of other people, or have it kicked out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greased Weasel Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Because some people only log on when there are/aren't opposed cabals online. I think thats the best time to log the game is a hoot then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
