Kapera

[Sean of the Thread]

This person is a twat. Edited out the empuffin. Rlen and kapera were gettin bitchy because I fogged the dais so I could hide.. as I noticed my signs would be falling off and spirit was low.

Gedron pulls Eoghain aside for some instruction.

[Ta'Illistim, Hanging Gardens]
Although the floating platform is suspended well above the ground below, it overflows with abundant plant life. The edges of the dais are brimming with delicate white queen's lace, dark lavender, fragrant rosemary and a variety of other colorful flora. Thick grass underfoot provides an enticingly peaceful resting spot. A thin silk canopy is suspended above, providing ample shade from the day's brightness. You also see the Gedron disk, a grey wolf that is sitting, the Rheisia disk, the Kapera disk, a main gauche, a falchion, a glaesine arch, a large faenor-chased barrel and a richly finished wooden bench with some stuff on it.
Also here: Acidfire, Penquin, Eoghain, Celeerial who is sitting, Chaliell who is sitting, Gedron, Rheisia, Rlen who is kneeling, Kapera, Jube who is sitting, Maeillwynn who is sitting, Suprie who is sitting, Laccon who is sitting

Eoghain holds out the palm of his hand and watches intensely as a perfect black rose composed of swirling essence begins to form in the center of his hand. It takes shape but dissipates a few seconds later.
>drag kap out
You grab Kapera and drag her out with you...

[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
The northern corner of the court is relatively quiet, the low hum of conversation punctuated only by the occasional bursts of laughter emanating from the nearby dais. A row of monir trees delineates the curvature of the cobblestoned lane, their leafy boughs creating a shady resting spot. You also see a grey wolf that is sitting, a wooden barrel and a floating dais.

[Xyelin (faint)]: "Kapera had an accident it seems"

[Xyelin (faint)]: "Rlen becareful out there. Seems it is slippery outside the dais."

[Private - Rlen (faint)]: "I'll tell you now, you continue being an ass and murder, I'll go straight to reporting.

[Asha]

Jesus, that was a bit harsh man.

Still, always recognise a sorcerers attempt to hide.
Although they're legendary, they're fatal to pointers.

[Divinity]

wtf? Why is Rlen drinking your koolaid?

Seems like Kapera talks a lot of crap and just can't deal with the retribution on her own. One of the most common gemstoners, unfortunately. :/

Hopefully she'll leave you alone now? I doubt it.

[Anebriated]

Wow, nothing has changed. People still run to use report as first action when something happens. Granted it might not have been called for unless there is prior activity that wasnt shown in log but people have been killed for less before.

[Sean of the Thread]

There was about 20 minutes of them bickering at me for casting fog on the dais.. telling me it was "the picking spot" and I told them.. no it is the dais.. but feel free to pick here. Just escalated from there. Xyelin has always been a no nonsense character. Pointing at spirit hunters is just retarded.

[Toxicvixen]

Report is a warm blanket for people to crawl under and hide. Whimps.

[Anebriated]

There are locksmiths at the dias now? Used to have to load up my lockers until a locksmith logged on...

[Divinity]

Uhm, yeah locksmiths pick there, but it doesn't stop everyone else from hiding.

Now they're just being retarded and coming up with lame excuses. Aurawyn hides there all the time.

[Ta'Illistim, BriarStone Court]
This corner of the court is dominated by a round marble fountain. A few solitary elves sit on the wide edge of the fountain, occasionally tossing a coin inside and murmuring a wish, as they steal shy glances around them. The water descends from a tall center column, producing a musical burble that softens the noise of the city's daily traffic. You also see a wooden barrel.

A raised portcullis is barely visible at the top of the stony gate. Intricately carved columns flank the entrance, their crowns adorned with delicate silvered glyphs and toothily grinning gargoyles. Daylight shimmers across the glyphs, highlighting their curves and contours with subtle grace. You also see a yellow tent.

She also abused mechanics to get me outside the gate in the first place. I had the balls and just blasted her in town. The bitch even check to see if I was CoL and then sancted the room so I couldn't hopelessness out.

[Parkbandit]

It was a bit harsh.. I would have blown off both arms and put her in a very long ass stun.. followed by a half dozen or so blood bursts and diseases... finished up with a stun refresher.

My fine would have been MUCH lower than yours as well...

:shrug:

[Anebriated]

Yeah but youd have to find her at a time when there werent many others around. Knowing how the game worked someone is bound to step in and "help" when limbs start flying. Thats what I learned on my sorc anyway.

Fine was only 160k.. worth every silver.

[Czeska]

Why was the LK and sancting mechanics abuse? I don't know (or care) what the battle is, but seems to me she was using what she had available to help her situation.

[Leetahkin]

Next time, just do a depart confirm instead of just typing depart first.
Saves a lot of time, and would have gotten you out of there right away.
I learned that real quick.

same way 'slamming' is. in this case she is purposefully abusing the mechanics of the game (the fact that you can't decay while kept) by giving him an LK, making it so that he can't decay and come back and kill her for what she did, same way slamming is GMA in that its avoiding consequences for actions

[Czeska]

Slamming is leaving the game. Sanct is a valid spell, LK could be considered RP. I guess I just view the approach differently. If she bound him when he was alive, that would be fine, why is "binding" him when he's dead not?

[Sean of the Thread]

If you don't see how that is mechanics abuse then I don't need to explain it to you.

[El Burro]

because it's not clicking the X at the top of the screen. It's using game mechanics the way they are intended. She just put them together in a sequence that pisses you off. Boo hoo.

Is you fogging the dais so you can hide your "I implode stuff" self mechanics abuse?

The one thing I see that was fucked up was when she used psinet magic share on that one fella. That was some kind of abuse and deserved the retribution she got.

My worthless two cents

[StrayRogue]

LKing and Sancting isn't good mechanics use. It isn't abuse either. Slamming is mech abuse.

[KymberlynX]

Okay...stupid question...what is "slamming"?

[Czeska]

Logging off to avoid conflict.

[Hips]

Czeska beat me to it.

[Asha]

On one of the sorcerer sites, it describes the perfect evil sorcerer to LK a dead character and then sit and gloat.
I know it's not official becouse it's written there, but I think LK and sancting is do-able.
Also, imploding her repeatedly while she is hunting is do-able too.
:)

[Czeska]

The LK thing to me is this ..

You kill someone. You use a potion and bind them to the spot. That's better than departing to get out of it, in my opinion.

[hectomaner]

it is GMA when they use LK to avoid conflict, the same as slamming is.

[El Burro]

it is not the same

[Leetahkin]

depart confirm
depart confirm
depart confirm

before they get the chance. I'd be peeved if someone flasked Ent just to torment her. What is the purpose? Those flasks can last 10 minutes or longer.

I'd rather log off than sit there bound to my soul for ten minutes while some sick fuck does whatever they want "as payback"

[Czeska]

I'm still agreeing with Burro, etc. The point Drayal made was highly valid too. LK is a potion. It's RP.

To call that GMA is like saying using an invis amulet is GMA cause you can't be seen and can leave, thereby avoiding conflict!

[Leetahkin]

There's also a difference between two players alive and one alive, one dead. You can't do ANYTHING when dead and flasked.

It should stay on an even ground of two players being alive. I think it's a cowardly thing to do, and is avoiding conflict by keeping the person dead.

[Czeska]

It's not being debated if it's good/bad RP, but whether or not it's GMA.

I think perpetually binding someone would suck too. They can't do a thing then either, and they're both alive. But it's not GMA.

[Leetahkin]

Oh, heh. Yeah, I agree, got sidetracked there.
I don't think it was GMA.
But I'd kill her a dozen times over for it.

Just escalated from there. Xyelin has always been a no nonsense character. Pointing at spirit hunters is just retarded.

You know a fully sancted place isn't really the best spot for picking imo... Though the dais has been used forever... I don't think you fogging to hide was that big of a deal... and as a member of col and a sorcerer your actions seem valid from an RP standpoint to me. If someone revealed me while I was invis or something to hide my spirit draining I'd be pissed off too IC...

[Edited to add]

What Kapera did was bs IMO... goes along with her actiones of psinet magicing Dazmar... She needs to learn to suck it up and get over it I think.

[Edited on 6-21-2005 by OreoElf]

[Jolena]

LKing someone isn't GMA in my opinion. It's annoying as fuck and would piss me off to no end to have that shit happen to me and then to be taunted while I was left there to deal with it. But, I'm a big supporter of "Every action has consequences".

[Czeska]

Psinet is an ooc mechanics assisting system. LK is not. I disagree with that, too. What she did might've been annoying, but not GMA.

And honestly. It's not that hard to turn your magic share off.

[Jolena]

Yeah turning magic share off is something that I thought perhaps I should do after viewing that log. However I think Hecto or whoever it was that Kapera used that PsiNet function on, was justified in his kicking her ass for it.

[Asha]

I thought when the psinet skills probe went off, then the character was killed for doing so, was a bit fucked up too.

In game, that would have been a totally uncalled for murder.
Turn off your psinet, unless in your opinion it makes in game murder valid.

[Jolena]

I dunno, I have to disagree Drayal. She went OOC by using that function to determine his spells while fighting him. For me, it's justified to kill her for it. Although i spose his knowledge of her using that function was OOC too and could be debated all day, i think the ends justified the means in this situation.

[Asha]

Basicly, it was one bad turn deserved another.

Psinet seems to encourage nothing else.

[Jolena]

I disagree with your last statement very strongly as well. However, we have to agree to disagree at this point I think.

[Edaarin]

Holy shit there's an Aelotoi with a 370 CS?

No worries.
But if someone used psinet skills on me, I wouldn't see how I'd explain me murdering them to a GM.
But man, I'd agree with you if I could figure that out.

Unless you wish to fight.
I'm up for mud wrestling anytime.
:saint:

[KymberlynX]

Isn't there a feature with psinet where you can pick who gets to check your magical status? Like a befriend list of sorts.

[Shalla]

There is an option to which you can limit certain features to the people in your friend's list. Such as being able to locate, check your magical status, and skills.

[Divinity]

Yeah, have to agree with Czeska here.

LK is an ig potion to preserve people, using it was RP. It was annoying, but not GMA.

Invisibility to avoid conflict is fair play, not GMA to me either.

I wonder what you people think about people using their IFW items to get out of a situation as well.

[Leetahkin]

This is a bump, but would a sorc making you a zombie against your will after you died also be considered bad rping (not GMA, I guess)

I didn't feel like making a new thread.

Hesha died and Ent tried to find him. Hesha decayed, so she commented that he shouldn't have been so quick to become one with the worms. He snapped at her. So Ent ends up dying maybe 10 minutes later. He ran out to her to bind her soul. (Dammit, only one sorc has done that, and only one ever will).

Annoying as heck, as I had to depart before he was able to.

So, can you depart after the salts are administered? I didn't want to stick around and see, of course.

[AnticorRifling]

They can't make you a zombie against your will. I think there is a message like unlink for raising. I've never had it happen but I'm pretty sure you have to agree to it.

be nice to Ent!

[Syberus]

Group close.

[Divinity]

That's not bad RP. It's a tool, just like flasks, that he's able to use on you.

I think it's fitting of a sorcerer's RP. Well for most of them.

It is exploiting a feature to avoid conflict. Unless you're going to perform a rez or drag/fog the body to safety; you're using an exploit with the intent of harassing another player.

The intended use of either tool does not fall in line with the intent of said implimentation.

Best thing to do is bitch about it until Simu fixes it ... 20 years from now.

[Kenn]

For a while, I vaguely remember being able to depart even when kept, I'm talking before I took my break... so some time in 2001 - 2002 maybe? Anyway, if memory serves, Simu must have changed it back for a reason.

[isebumples]

yeah, you can depart once you are kept, if you are in COL. Sign of Hopelessness and poof, lifekeep fades right off ya.

[Praefection]

That only works if you're in an unsancted room.

Bingo Tsa'ah is the winner! The bitch even signalled to see if I was CoL before sancting the room. Basically I was too slow on the depart confirm but it worked out anyways since she decided to sit and camp my body. It felt like WOW days where some idiots would sit and corpse camp me so I'd go take the dog for a walk and have a cig or shit or whatever. Was always great to come back after 15 minutes and see the same idiots wiggling around in a bush waiting for me to rez..hehe.
