The-Nameless Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 This is a post that is a direct result of things I have witnessed first hand IC: Alright folks, here are some facts about FL: 1) You're going to die. 2) You're going to die again. 3) You're going to get looted. 4) You're going to get full looted. Now, these are all actually pretty obvious statements. You know each of these is going to happen. So let us clarify a few other points: If you fought someone 20 ticks ago, and someone ELSE kills you, that was not a gang. That was Rule #1. If you have a full suit of ultra shinies, and I am not wearing them. Guess what I am gonna do? That's right. Rule #3. If you are a constant pain in my side, or have wrecked me many times in the past and I finally got a lucky win on you? Guess what? Rule #4. If you come back after re equipping to take my head and lose, you guessed it. Rule #2. If I took 3 pieces of armor from you, this is not rule #4. A full loot is exactly that, you came back to a corpse as empty as a whitney houston prescription bottle. If you came back to backpacks, and 75% of your armor. BE HAPPY, it means I like you, or it at least means I don't dislike you enough to take your things, and sell them to weaker/newer/freshly pinned characters (which I do quite often to circulate armor anyway). If I pk someone, let us assume I have a reason. Let us also assume that I am not running around telling the pbase my life story, because only evil geniuses do that. If you want to complain about someone being a silent pker, or not Rping, then why not just extend the olive branch yourself? Ask why, ask how, ask what made me this way. My current character is extremely limited in a realistic sense in what he can do as a "job" due to some *drumroll* rp that led to my hand being partially eaten. How many people knew that because of IC interaction I wonder? Just because I did not give you an XML file chronicling my entire life, does not mean I don't RP. Killing is a part of FL. It is a big part of FL. If you take these things personally, FL might be a stressful place for you. This stress might bleed from OOC to IC. You might accidentally completely trash a character you have worked so hard on (see IRPEL) due to a moment of sheer stupidity. I have had people tell me (over the years): "Dude, stop, this game means more to me than it does to you" "Dude, Im a ****ing cripple, I am stuck in a wheelchair, and this is all the fun I can have" "you lazy ****" "I know why your wife left you" among countless others. Why you ask? Each of these was tied to a death. Not even to a full loot. Just a moment of pure stress exploded right out their fingertips. Completely altering my opinion of the character/player. In short FL, we are a tight knit community, and we all would benefit from mutual respect. I'm guilty of being annoyed from time to time as well. In the last several years I have made a serious effort to improve my quality of play, the quality of my interactions, and my RP. You can notice the differences between characters like Kadrinath, and Sulphax, when you compare them to older chars I played like Drakken, and Thrug. When I became a better player respect, and class-wise, I became a better player skill wise. I stopped blaming you for full looting, and start blaming myself for getting full looted. I stopped being pissed at you for landing that kill, and being mad at myself for letting you kill me. Keep your stick on the ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
