I crown thee Rorac, King of all assholes

[Revalos]

So...when Rorac isn't busy being a warn whore, or warcrying and provoking people into losing affinity with their Animal Companions. He's posting crap like this in response to his involvement in the dwarven WON quest:

It looked like a fun time? Well... it wasn't. It sucked. After the second hour of being still and silent I felt like going nuts and killing everyone in the room... You can only hear the same story so many times before it loses it's thrill.

The "gift" that was given out by Eregrek was disgusting. The cloak was ugly, smelled of dwarves, weighed more and holds less than my cloak, and everyone on Teras already has a cloak they probably will keep for the rest of their lives... That cloak should've been given to everyone just for sitting through three hours of "story telling". I was insulted, I dropped the cloak at his feet and told him so, and everyone got mad at me like I did something wrong.

This situation really makes me not want to take part in any more quests set up by the GM's, because it really isn't worth hours and hours of my time. I was transported from Teras to EN. During the fighting, I was the first to find the secret entrance to where Eregrek was being kept. After much digging, the prince was saved. Rakisak gave him his weapon and armor. Rakisak got nothing, I got a cloak. I think a better gift would've been the 52'010 silvers it cost me to get back to Teras. The best and most unique item that came from this quest was a chipped bowl. It weighs less than 2 pounds, and you can't do anything with it. It's disgusting.

I'm sadly disappointed in this quest, and the "gift" that was given, and I bet whoever the GM was that thought these cloaks would be a good gift is probably laughing and making jokes about it...

Although I'm aware that quests aren't just for the gifts, prizes, and awards, I believe that if such things should be involved, they shouldn't be so completely useless... a silver wand is better than the "woven grey cloak" that was given out. I heard that night everyone involved got RP awards (even the night of the story telling), I didn't though. Maybe it was because i threw that ugly cloak back at Eregrek and told him what a nothing he is.

Also, as for talking with Eregrek, nobody really got to do that, he was mostly silent during the stories, and left almost immediately afterwards. You'd think since everyone saved his life, he'd be a little more thankful. Next time i see him I think i'm gonna have to try to plant my waraxe in his face.

I would also like to know who the GM(s) were that thought of the cloak as being a good gift for so much trouble and wasted time, just so I can be mean to them next time I see them.

~ Rorac.

Wow...I don't think king of assholes is a proper title...divine soverign of all assholes perhaps.

[StrayRogue]

Thats quests for you ;)

[CrystalTears]

Wow, how ungrateful can you get. :rolleyes:

[Back]

Rorac is a tool. (Sorry Tayre)

[Chadj]

he killed grays.. good enough for me to like him! :D

[HarmNone]

Hey! Look at it this way: He probably will not be attending any more quests, eh? Think of the improvement that will make in everyone's good time. :D

HarmNone finds the good in almost anything ;)

[CrystalTears]

I think we should rename HarmNone's title to Silver Lining Mistress. ;)

[Camri]

In the game Camri hates Rorac, and argues and fights with him constantly.

But out of the game, he sort of grew on me. He isn't such a bad person, he just plays an asshole in the game.

Camri is an argumentive bitch. So I guess I have a hard time disliking Rorac for playing the kind of character he plays.

As far as the warnings and stuff like that, I don't know about it. All I know is what I've seen, and what I've seen hasn't been that bad.

[AnticorRifling]

Rorac and I get along fine, everytime I've ever bumped into him it has been hunting. I would toss strength or haste at him real quick, maybe ewave for him and he would do a warcry that boosted my AS at the expense of his voice. Seemed like a good enough neighbor to me but then again I don't always get exposed to the bad in people.

[GS4Gurl]

Actually, a chipped bowl and an ugly cloak for all those peoples hard work and the guy didn't say thank you for saving his life? I wasn't there and I'm only reading Rorac's side but I think I would've been insulted too. No quests aren't about prizes BUT if they're going to give a prize it should be something nice and distinctive of the quest. Otherwise don't give prizes. Just my opinion.

[Jolena]

I have to say I agree with Camri.. Rorac and my character absolutely do NOT get along.. however in RL he's a nice guy and is fun to talk to. He RP's his character as an asshole and is freely able and willing to admit it to anyone he encounters. He isn't stupid by any means though..he just enjoys his RP and I have never seen him out of character. Its' odd how I can speak to him on IM's and hes great.. but in the game, our characters don't get along and Jo can't stand him.. lol But.. despite what people think or say..yes Rorac is an asshole in game... but he takes his licks and keeps on ticking so to speak. And if I was him.. and was given that cloak and a chipped bowl for all my hard work.. I think I would have been a tad upset too. Course.. I never particpate in quests.. so I dunno. I doubt I would have reacted like he did.. but Jo is not RP'd the same as Rorac, who as a character does not give a damn what others think..not even a Prince.

[Rowi]

Rorac always been kewl with me, always treated me with respect and I do him.

But im always standing-by.

[Revalos]

OK, for all you who say that he's a nice guy in RL...explain the post and the warn whoring. That's the player being an ass, not the character. And if he is claiming RP by reducing affinity on ACs for people, he's going to find himself in a consultation lounge real soon.

As for the meat of the post. I boiled it down to "I want a powerful item since I did so much work, that's all I'm interested in." If anyone actually read the log of the Egrek event, they'll see that what Rorac says is complete BS.

He wasn't forced to go to this event, he went there with the idea that he'd get a powerful item out of the deal. He didn't, so now he's going to whine.

Anyone who rags on GMs or anyone else for that matter because they didn't serve his every need is an asshole in my book.

You get an altered cloak. Vreen questers get egg shards, Hochstib questers got a Mandis Crystal shard. These are all "useless items." If you don't like them, just take the item to the nearest trash bin and chuck it. That's the tactful thing to do. Dropping it and going OOC at the place you were given it is a sign that you don't know how to interact with a modicum of politeness.

Sure...you can claim that your character isn't polite, but for crying out loud, leave that in game...as soon as you post to the boards and start talking about the GM behind a character instead of the character themselves, that's when you become a true asshole.

What's the matter, you thought everyone would jump on the band wagon with you and hate Rorac?

I said in my first post, I don't know about the warnings and stuff like that. I said that because I've never witnessed him to do that. I can only comment on what I see.

What I see in the game, is a character that is a total asshole. But he's consistent with it, and I've never seen him be OOC.

If he went to the boards and said something you didn't like, I suppose you could answer his post with your own. But he does have the right to post his opinions, just as you do.

[Stunseed]

ooh, ooh, I'll jump on the bandwagon!

Rorac is a prick, pure and simple. He's an ill-tempered brat who whines when he does not get what he wants. I suppose I'm on the other side of things, I'd join a quest so that one day, my character stands for something good through the telling of said quest. Regardless, Rorac is an asshole and deserves to dragged out and killed by projectile roltons.....Twice.

However, that's his RP. If that is what floats his boat, you might as well make yourself happy. If the player can grow on you like he did on Jolena, he's alright in my book.

Die, Rorac, Die!

[Betheny]

I've seen him be OOC. He told me in a private thought that he hopes my RL mom dies of cancer.

I want Rorac haggis for Thanksgiving. Stupid jackass.

[Rowi]

Man all this talk about Haggis now im hungry!

Thanks alot Maimara~!

[Betheny]

Sure thing! My grandma makes AWESOME haggis, by the way.

what does this statement say about someone who posts on a board simply to dub someone the king of assholes and starts talking about the player instead of talking about the character themselves

does that make you a true asshole too?

[Edited on 10-2-2003 by Tijay]

[Tsa`ah]

Nope, Rorac is an asshole and doesn't know the concept of roleplay.

It's pretty simple. I wouldn't call him the King of Assholes though, maybe the joker.

[GS4Gurl]

Erm no where in his post did I read he wanted a powerful or even useful item for the quest. What I get out of it he wanted something nice, not a quick throw together at the last minute thing. In fact, I daresay he cared to get anything at all. The POINT is IF they were going to go through the trouble of making something in the first place, why not make something better than a chipped bowl and an unattractive heavy cloak? Hell I *think* he would have been satisfied with a little silver pin saying, "I saved the life of some guy in a quest, who cant say thank you, and all I got was this silly pin." At least that would have been something mildly witty and befitting of the quest. lol

[Jenisi]

Rorac has his days, but he's an all-around nice guy when you get to know him. He doesn't piss Jenisi off in game, but she gets upset when she see's him arguing to people about stupid crap and gettin all work up about nothing.

His post on the boards wasn't exactly "in character", so claims that he is an asshole in game and not out of game, are really unfounded. I agree with Revalos.

[Rorac]

If not liking a cloak, and not liking the people who thought the cloak was a good gift, how does that make me an asshole? A lot of you were making opinions and you weren't there. The people who claimed to Eregrek that the cloak was a great gift put them on infront of Eregrek (probably to ass kiss) and I tracked them all down and guess what, not one of the people that got a cloak is still wearing it!

I think it takes a bigger asshole to lie, then it takes to tell the truth and hurt someones feelings. As for my real life, no, I'm not an asshole, and if I was, it's really none of anyones business.

It's still funny to see people that don't know me, or my character very well make all of these great opinions of me and somehow manage to capture the entire person I call Rorac, and myself, into one word.

As for being a "warn whore", I'm really not. There was a time frame in which I wasn't having good days and was getting attacked by the entire city of Sol Haven for attacking the invading trolls, at which point I did WARN a lot of people. There are also people that follow me around that I don't RP with that somehow feel the need to cast/attack/attempt to kill Rorac without any consent. Those people I warn as well, if you want to fight, get permission first.

What signifies a WARN whore anyway? One who warns a lot, or one who warns for no reason? I only ask this this because there are noobs that I have thumped for having terrible names (Snowwolf, Mountain, Powerz, And, Owned, Squarehead, ect) and got WARN INTERACTION by most of them.

Eldrec WARN INTERACTIONed Rorac for tackling him after he took Rorac out of hiding several times in a row, Whirlin WARN INTERACTIONed Rorac for kicking his ass when he tried hurting Rorac.

As for wanting a GREAT AND POWERFUL ITEM. No, most items mean shit to Rorac. Silvers don't really mean anything to Rorac either. But, if they're going to be given out, at least make a half-assed job of trying to do something fairly nice. Cloaks... everyone has them. Everyone. It's completely useless, and will either be sold to noobs, or stuffed in lockers. Rorac dropped his on the ground for whoever wanted an extra one, everyone else was too much of a sheep to do the same.

The only thing Rorac wanted from Eregrek (and he asked) instead of the cloak was the 50'000 it cost to get back to Teras, or his signature inside the bowl that Rorac had found.

As for not knowing the concept of role-play, I think i'm well on my way to mastering it. Well, maybe not. Maybe I should be more like everyone else and go on the amulet how my waraxe is +20, my shield is +35, and my armor is +32. I should probably also go around saying, "I only have 16'520 exp to go until I get to the next level!" like the majority of people i've seen.

I should probably also go, "brb", make text smiley faces, and do "actions" on the thought amulet (because everyone knows you SEE what's on the amulet, not HEAR it...)

And Revalos, how would you know if I'm an asshole in real life or not? Have you ever met me?

It seems that the lot of the people that post on the boards about EVERY problem they have with someone, in a very "out of character" way seems to be more of the asshole than someone that doesn't like the level of service that they're getting from a company.

I'm paying for a reason. If I don't like something, I will speak up about it. If the company can't handle it, they can shut down or cancel this service.
If you don't like my opinions on the service of this game, then why bother attacking me? Do you think that there will be some chance that I'll see the "error"of my ways and change who I am in the game and out of the game just make a lot of people that mean nothing in either life happy? No. It doesn't.

Well... in any case... keep the posts coming, it's still amusing to watch everyone think they know it all, and can not be wrong.

~ Rorac.

I completely see your point here. He is doing just what he is bashing the player of Rorac for. And honestly..I have never seen the warn situations either. There will always be people who like the person you are bashing and there will always be those that agree with you. Either way it goes.. we do have a right to our opinions which is what he's posting here. All I can go off of in game is what I have seen of Rorac and he's consistently a jerk but it IS rp. Sorry to dissappoint you that I won't jump on the bandwagon too.

PS. Love you stun! hehe

[isenghar]

boohoo Rorac was mean to some chump over some stupid cloak. jesus christ you people are pansies, i can't believe you would go through all this effort to make it known you dislike rorac. it almost sounds like you want his attention. Do you love him? theres better ways to go about winning his favor then whining on some stupid msgboard about something stupid. seriously.

-isenghar

[Izalude]

Isenghar, the thread is about why they dislike him. I don't think anyone is 'trying to win his favor', nor do they want his attention.

[Warriorbird]

It's a place to vent.

My addition? I find him much more annoying out of game than in. I've never had a problem with the character.

[Revalos]

Yep. I just come here to vent.

I'm not even going to try to respond to the various posts. I have my opinions on Rorac and his player, and that's it. They are based on my limited experiences and the experiences of others I have talked to.

My only interaction with the person was when he WARN INTERACTIONed me for 115ing him for attacking the trolls in Solhaven. So, when I run into a person who, ater several people have told him to stop what he is doing, continues to do it because he knows he can WARN everyone that tries to stop him, I think that's pretty assinine.

Now, I'll add to that that every Ranger on Teras wants him dead because of his constant warcries and annoyances of their companions. It is bad enough that it takes forever to increase affinity, but if someone intentionally gets your companion killed to reduce it, that's just being an ass. I've read enough there that furthers my belief that he's a jerk, and I'm not talking the character, because what he's doing is hurting other people even after multiple times to tell him to quit it.

The post was just the icing on that cake.

I should post Khaladon's response to your post, Rorac. Any time you make anyone feel like that with a post of yours, you've done something wrong. And obviously you don't regret a second of it.

I don't give a flying fuck what other folks think I'm trying to start or whatever. I simply stated that I thought Rorac is just about the definition of an asshole. Am an asshole for thinking that? Sure. Start up a thread about how much of an asshole I am.

>I would also like to know who the GM(s) were that thought of the cloak as being a good gift for so much trouble and wasted time, just so I can be mean to them next time I see them.

Evening Rorac,

While nothing in WoN in Prime had anything to do with me, lemme comment.

GMs do their best to make an entertaining experience. A gift, a title, even an RPA, is a bonus, next to the event, quest, merchant, or whatever it is their doing. While I hope everyone has fun in the events I do, I know I'll never please everyone. That simply will not happen. Its human nature.

Nothing kept you in the tent listening to stories for three hours. If you only hung out to get something, then its personal choice. Seems like others had a good time. Getting directly involved in an event with a GM seems to be every person's goal. But what do I know when someone REPORTed after a Council of all that is Good and Pure and Light was 'harrassing' them. <smirk>

To be blunt with this post, I will think long and hard before i'd ever give out items for a quest again. Its not worth it basically to be attacked. If you didn't enjoy it, pass it on to someone who was involved who would appreciate it.

Getting stuff isn't a requirement, its a bonus. Its not the ending, its the ride that mattered.

Khaladon

[HarmNone]

To me, it is quite sad that someone as caring as Khaladon had to make that post at all. So many of the GMs are great people who try hard to give the players a game in which they can enjoy themselves. It must be very difficult to give up your leisure time to bring pleasure to others only to have your efforts spit back in your face with such venom.

I do not care what kind of character you play in-game. There is a point at which the character of the player shines through. This, I feel, was one of those times.

[Artha]

Rorac, you are a greedy asshole.

[Betheny]

The sad thing is, if they had given out anything better, people would've screamed favoritism. All I got for my GSS involvement was a scar with a neat story, and I was damned happy. People screamed favoritism about THAT.

THe GM's walk a f ine line. Rorac needs a needle for his ego. Now the rest of us who participate goodnaturedly in a quest will get fucked because it isn't like we'll get any tangible reward. Whether that's good or bad, i don't know.

I think Maimara should have been given a "Thorn of Mularos" Title. Like at the end of her name. That would have been sweet. And it would have made the event so much more 'real'. But that's just me.

I gotta say, rorac is prolly pretty cool IRL. He looks pretty tough in real life. And most likely its all RP crap. Besides the mattock issue, he can be a good friend.

If I remember correctly, those who participated in the Feithidmor (or whatever) hunt below ground got no special items, either. I think only the Teras team actually killed the monster, but the others teams' characters went to what they believed to be their deaths, as well. I do not remember anybody whining over not receiving anything for their efforts.

HarmNone thought that was a pretty good quest for everyone

What does it matter where he lives? Hell, what does it matter what he looks like?

Personally I snicker at teens that pose for a web cam shot brandishing a shop at home sword.

This isn't about Rorac outside of GS; this is about Rorac the ass-hat in GS.

I really fail to see how trolling the sewers for potential scripters is good roll-play. Hell, I've yet to see roll-play in any form in my limited encounters with the clown.

In my opinion he's nothing but a boulder bunny that forgets where the frickin boulder is.

You're thinking of Reyek doing the posing with the home shopping network weapons.

[Tsa`ah]

Doh!

[Edited to correct Tayre's correction]

Nope, adolescent brandishing a cheap sword = Rorac.

One thing.. Warc, please never post about how cool I am. I know how cool I am, I know how tough I am, and no, I don't live in NY.

As for the sword, I don't shop at home. Shopping at home is for pussies. I went to a store that deals only with sharp blades. It's awesome, you're just jealous because you aren't sexy to.

A third point.

I noticed you typed "roll-play" twice, and you didn't attempt you correct yourself. You do mean "role-play" right?

Final note...
I don't hunt the sewers for scripters, stop being stupid fucks and drop that. If you're going to insult, flog, or make fun of, at least do it with facts that are accurate. Thank you.

I don't hunt the sewers for scripters, stop being stupid fucks and drop that. If you're going to insult, flog, or make fun of, at least do it with facts that are accurate. Thank you.

So you deny the claims that you have done this? Please.[/quote]

[Missoni]

I will vouch for Rorac's intelligence and decency, because he is always ever so nice to me!

Of course, he can be really arrogant and completely mean.

I see this as good role-play! Not everyone can be sweet and charming!

[Rorac]

Punk? Hardly. I'm a nice guy. If you think I'm lying, convince my great grandmother (www.angelfire.com/rpg/roracimmortal/granny.jpg) of that. She might have no mercy in drop kicking you though... she gets defensive when people pick on me. );

[Camri]

I just have one question.

How many of you people who are dissing Rorac, actually know him? By know him I mean, have spent time with him in the game, possibly spoken with him in whispers, or in IMs?

Knowing him doesn NOT mean encountered him on the boulder, or out in the wilds a couple times. It means ACTUALLY SPENT SOMETIME GETTING TO KNOW HIM.

I'm sure there will be at least a couple who actually know him and still don't like him. Everyone has people with whom they don't get along. But I would be willing to bet there aren't many.

[Tsa`ah]

Camri;

First impressions are important.

Rorac does terrible first impressions.

[Rorac]

Rorac does terrible first impressions on purpose. It weeds out the ones with no tolerance to immaturity, ignorant people, the dishonorable, and the morons from the people with other, better qualities.

[peam]

Agreed. You only get one first impression.

My impression of Rorac is an idiot with an itchy trigger finger. He harasses people, walks on thin line of being OOC, and is a general detraction from the game's overall environment.

Has nothing to do with getting along with or without.. I simply believe people who cannot remain in character deserve the 'tool' title.

But can you really judge a person on your first impression of them?

I'm sure Camri gives a bad first impression too. She argues with everyone she gets near, and tends to get a mean. Does that make me a bad person? Do I deserve for people who don't even know me, or haven't taken the time to try to know me, to badmouth me?

And I would be willing to bet that just a few of you are just runnng on hearsay anyway.

Do you really want to go there Rorac? I have about 3 years worth of logs.. I could take the time and do a RORAC search on them and pull some if you would like me to.

Or.. you could just go quietly into the night.. no one would blame you.

Wow, you mean you'd actually waste that much of your time? You must have a pretty lousy life. ):

I'm talking about fairly recent history (last 5-6 months). I'm sure everyone at some point has been OOC, even if just once.

Hey... you used to shit yourself, remember when you were one and didn't know any better? We could talk about that to since we're busy going into the past! (:

Actually Rorac.. it would be quite quick. I've rarely had interactions with you that you were able to actually remain in character for the entire term.

And you are correct.. we've all been OOC at one time or another. Heck, when I started out I bet I was OOC quite a bit.

Difference is.. I learned how not to.

Have you?

[Scott]

As much as I hate Rorac because our styles clash so much. He had me cracking up in Gemstone today. It's not very often where some guy can be a complete asshole and make me laugh at the same time. The whole time he was threatening me and stuff but he was very entertaining. I've seen him around a lot lately and I haven't seen him go OOC at all.

I do not have to talk to this guy on IM's, or in OOC whispers, to know that I hate his character.

His player, I don't know him. The character's a stupid turd, though. And I'm inclined to think the player is kind of a hothead, too, after that post he made -- on an OOC board, in an OOC manner. You can't tell me he made that post simply ecause he RP's a rectum... He, as a player, was pissed and acting like a jackass.

I hope you don't encounter Camri in game much, because I'm pretty certain you wouldn't like me then.

My guess would be, he made that post because he was expressing his personal opinion on the subject he was posting about. Just because not everyone agrees with his opinion, does not make him a bad person.

I've made some pissy posts when I was unhappy about something, and so have you.

[Betheny]

You don't even know the reason I don't like him.

The reason I don't like him is because he's two-faced. One minute, he's really nice to you, the next minute he tells you to fuck off and die. :?: Am I supposed to LIKE that?

He's never been that way with me. We consistently fight and hate each other in the game, and get along well in IM.

[Kia]

You know, I really don't mind Rorac. He likes to make an effort to be involved in the game (sometimes a slightly misguided effort) which is more than I can say for a lot of people. Some of my favorite characters are those I love to hate.

KIA.

I have to kinda agree with kia there, there are too few people in the game who do much but try to be nice to everyone and avoid conflict. I have yet to find one truely entertaining "nice" person in GS. In other words there are two few of us assholes that really really play the part... ive interacted with this one a few times he seems ok.... nothing close to edine in arrogance, or does he stand out as much in a crowd but it is good to have a few characters about that are not like everyone else...

[CrystalTears]

I don't know Rorac either in game or personally. He IMed me once and we had a two minute conversation and he quite pleasant, and I didn't even know who he was at the time. (I'm one of those bizarre people that will speak to anyone that IMs me simply because I'm that bored at work.)

However just because Camri nor I have had bad experiences with someone doesn't mean it's never happened. I don't really think people would just make up stories to side with people on their feelings on someone. I don't always buy the "bandwagon" theory, especially when it has to do with a character that is not well known at all.

[StrayRogue]

Remind me to pester you during working hours CT. I am ultra bored watching my scripts make me uber. What do you actually do?

[CrystalTears]

I'm a slave in the customer support arena. All I do is answer phone calls and solve people's problems. Right now the calls are dwindling down so there are quite a few moments of downtime. Which explains my constant meandering on these boards. :D

Everyone has different perceptions of people. My ingame husband (aw ex now) was a great person, however there were times that people would come to me and tell me they didn't like him for whatever reason. I would find it hard to believe. I couldn't deny them their feelings though since I wasn't there for that interaction so I'm not one to say whether he did or didn't do it. I'm sure it happens with nearly all characters. Hell I'm sure there are characters that hate mine but I can live with that. I have enough friends to offset the bad ones. I hope. :D

I have to agree with Kia here because I thoroughly enjoy interacting with those that come from both sides of the spectrum.. this game..although a game.. is indeed a separate world and in every world there will be assholes.. and good guys.. and those that are annoyingly bleh (meaning they have no viewpoint) which is what makes it versatile. As for seeing Rorac OOC, I personally have never seen it. And as I stated in my previous post about this thread, my character hates him.. does not enjoy him or his attitude not one bit..but on IM's he's a sweetie and is funny and interesting. Although his personality out of game is not on trial so to speak (even though a few have mentioned it and assume he's a jerk in RL too) I have to say that I enjoy RPing with him a great deal.

Basically, Rorac was being an asshole to the doorman, the GM's, and several people at Hearthstone. Rorac swung at someone (i thought his hands were empty, but they weren't. Rorac had a claidh out) at killed them. I suppose that's when the doorman/bubba had enough with Rorac. And he kept going back to.

Death can't stop Rorac... so why bother fighting back at all?

[Chadj]

im gonna vouch fer Rorac here...

Hes pretty good at RPing, and yes, he RPs a total ass.. so what? Ive been talking to him on AIM the past couple days, and he has been really cool.. so he aint really an ass. :)

EDIT: Not a TOTAL ass.. just an ass to people who arent his friends.

[Edited on 10-3-2003 by Chadj]

[Betheny]

I don't like the guy, because when he got mad at me in-game, he told me in a private thought that he hopes my mother, IRL, gets cancer and dies.

Mmmmhm. Nice guy indeed.

[Chadj]

never heard of him do something like that before..

In the off topic folder there is a folder called "Picture Post". Theres a yummy pic of Tsa'ah in there.:tumble:

[Tsa`ah]

Same picture is in the Simu Sex party thread. But stop, I'm blushing and I think you folks are demented. Only my wife and mother can tolerate me for more than a few minutes.

Per Topic:

I try my damndest to not cast aspirations I have for a character on the player. When I first started playing I took things too personally. I had played a few tabletop RPGs but this genre of gaming was something I wasn't familiar with. It took the move to the web to force me to let go of personal feelings about the players behind the characters. There are very few players in this game I wouldn't waste my time with. It's a small and exclusive list.

That's not to say I don't form opinions of players via character interaction. Rorac, the player, may be the nicest guy in the world to those he includes in his inner circle of friends. He may, and I do stress may, be a superb role-player. I have yet to witness it; in fact I have never been able to discern the difference between character and player, in game or on message boards.

You may not be able to accept that I don't think highly of either, you won't be able to change my opinion simply because you have seen a different aspect either.

People are funny like that. Every asshole has friends that don't think said person is an asshole. It doesn't negate the fact that said person is an asshole however.

[CrystalTears]

Yep. I totally agree with the hottie. :D

[Chadj]

Aye, tis very true, Tsa'ah.. There is one such person on this board that i feel the same way towards.. although they may or may not know it.
But you are totally right.

[Edited on 10-4-2003 by Chadj]

[HarmNone]

I do not know Rorac in-game; therefore, I have no opinion of the character. The player, however, is the one who posted on the message boards wailing loudly over the gift he received at the end of the quest. It is that on which I would base my opinion of the player, himself.

HarmNone does form opinions based on words and actions

[Rorac]

A pair of guards wander in and bind you. One says a quick prayer than loops a rope around your neck and tosses it over the crossbeam. As its pulled up, you begin to realize this is the end. Mercifully, it all goes black in a moment.

When it's just friends who don't think the person is an asshole, then chances are, the person is an asshole.

[Graveyard, Crypt]
The entry foyer to this enormous granite crypt is stark, adorned only with grisly friezes sculpted in low relief into the walls. Bands of bluish-green ahnver are inlaid into the stone in thin strips just below the ceiling throughout the entire structure, bathing the rooms in a subtle light. A shadowy arch curves overhead and leads deeper into the inner sanctum of the sepulcher. You also see the Yipouy disk, a stale apple cupcake, an iced raisin cookie and a cracked urn.

This backroom is where many of the items pawned are offered for resale.

Hey, I must admit, I had a great time when he (Rorac) was holding up the pawn shop. I almost felt bad when I stunned him and everyone started beating on him..thats why I started forgetting people so they could not cast. Was rather fun though!

Usually I let things like this slide, but since I'm playing Skadii and not Lalana, I've never interacted with Rorac with Skadii and I had her hiding and AFK.

Broken bottles, discarded rubbish, and uneasy feelings pervade this dank, ill-lit dead end. Several unsavory-looking citizens seem to be lurking here and there in the shadows for want of anything better to do, and the scratching of rats can be heard from within the nearby walls. A pile of old crates is stacked against the back wall of the alley. You also see some tan pants and an empty wooden crate.

Yeah well you know what? I didn't appreciate that. I never interracted him, therefore don't drag me around and don't touch me. Usually I pay him no mind, on Lalana or Skadii. Seriously what is his major malfunction?

Rorac is one of those guys who Is a kick to watch... He has always been nice to me except when we are beating on each other for fun... I find a lot of people use the term attention whore... If we all acted so dull and quiet...would be kind of boring wouldnt it? Sides who would we all have to bitch at if everyone was perfect in everyone elses eyes? Rorac makes alot of us laugh from stupidity or just plain fun. A lot of it is rollplaying too. Lets not yell at people for rollplaying and others for not rollplaying enough!

[JustMe]

You can rollplay all you want.... I roleplay. Thx

[Ansherak]

Bah, I miss Rollplaying! Bring back the autoroller!

heh

Ansherak

[Ladyteeoncy]

Ya Ya Ya, Give me a break guys i wrote that last night after a long day at work and needing much rest. You rollplay in bed, you roleplay in Gemstone.

[Kurili]

Personally, I like Rorac. I must be lucky, I've seldom seen him OOC. Two of my girls loathed him, the current two get along with him.

I think he's a lot of fun most of the time. Annoying, but hey...he's not dull.

[Stunseed]

Wish he'd just find his balls and quit. Was definately an asshole previously, now is merging into attention whore at his finest.

Love you Jolena!

[Ladyteeoncy]

ok I hate to say it, But what Rorac really needs is a kick in the ass! Just Joking!

He needs a girl! We all know who really controls Elanthia... the girls... and I believe thats what Rorac needs...someone to whip him into shape and get him to behave! All guys need a leash!

[GSLeloo]

Rorac has a girl IG, Missoni.

[Ladyteeoncy]

Well maybe he needs one that can control him....

[Amaron]

I have had a few experiences with him... he harassed two of my new characters in the cul de sac months apart.

Then he comes down to solhaven just to cause trouble with the trolls and pissed my character off to no end.

I have never met in rl or spoken to him in rl..

Maybe he is an ok guy.. but his character takes away from my enjoyment of the game when his character is around so I avoid places where rorac is and ignore him.

[isenghar]

don't bitch about the idiotic troll storyline

the whole premise was flawed. All of a sudden, we as adventurers were supposed to forget centuries of war and invasions by trolls, and let them walk unharmed through our town so they could go to their promised land.

Me and Rorac figured that was idiotic. We decided we would get rid of trolls once and for all while they were all grouped together. We could have had mass genocide, and trolls would never kill anyone again. We weren't going to act like lobotomy patients and suddenly forget that trolls had attacked and killed people from the first day we got off the turnip farm.

So we went down there to make trouble with trolls, and all of a sudden, people in solhaven started attacking us. NICE JOB! So you're ATTACKING people to protect TROLLS? everyone was acting like we were just being jerks, when we were the only people being reasonable about it.

the best part is, there was no troll promised land, and, as rorac and I predicted, the trolls organized and invaded, killed a bunch of people and went back to being the monsters they always were and always will be.

Rorac and I were right about the trolls, no one listened to us, and even now that we were proven to be right about the whole thing, people in solhaven still villianize us like we were horrible people for wanting to attack trolls.

[Latrinsorm]

Some people are willing to forgive. They do not deserve to be vilified for this, even if they happen to be wrong from time to time.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Rorac is alright. I'd rather see a Rorac or Bob than say Warclaidhm, Vif or Haashek.

I actually like Rorac is some ways, because he doesn't take any shit.

[Rastaman]

I agree completely with Isenghar.

As for Rorac, I totally enjoy what he does. Not everyone in the world has to be nice. Some people are going to mug you, deal with it.

[Revalos]

Oh get off it about your "roleplay" regarding the trolls.

I had zero problem with people who roleplayed that they were going to kill the trolls. In fact, I expected it and enjoyed it from a variety of people who took the time to roleplay.

What got me was that when I stunned Rorac, after multiple attempts from my char to get him to stop through verbal means, instead of him roleplaying it out, he starts out with a WARN INTERACTION. WTF? Explain how that is roleplaying. If you are resorting to an OOC medium just because your char isn't strong enough to fend off a ranger casting a spirit spell, then perhaps you need to rethink what in the fuck you are doing there.

If he knows he can't touch me mechanics wise in game, engage in parlay about your position, try to avoid me by hiding, whatever the fuck you want. But when someone is an obvious warn whore, I have zero respect for them as a person.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Why should he be required to "roleplay" with you, because you could stun him? Because you were older? What makes YOU have to roleplay with him? Why should he have to hide or parlay with you if he didn't want to?

PS - I hate warn. Its a pussy way out, agreed.

[Moist Happenings]

Rorac did the same thing to me the other day. He was dragging people out of the cul-de-sac randomly so I stunned him for being a dickhead. I went invisible afterwards for about half an hour. I go vis and immediately I get warn harassment from rorac. He shouldn't HAVE to roleplay with anyone. However if he's going to be a fucking dickhead he's going to get stunned. He can deal with it.

[Moist Happenings]

On another note, see if he'll "roleplay" his character being a fuckhead if he knows you're older than him. He won't talk to you at all, regardless.

[Jack]

That is not the only example of Rorac acting like that. A few days ago Kinshack confronted him, and that band of idiots who go around robbing people. Upon confrontation, Kinshack asked them what was to stop him from slaying them all for their crimes. Rorac's reply, "Consent, and policy". Outstanding roleplay there.... Basicly, Rorac likes to be the bully, and anyone who can stand up to him will get slapped with a warn, and reported for doing so.

-Jack

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

LOL, ok, if this is true my opinion is swaying.

[Moist Happenings]

Then report and assist for him being a dickhead. I do it all the time. He's got about fifteen notes on his record from me alone.

[Moist Happenings]

On a completely unrelated note, i'd like to say something about Rorac's girlfriend, Missoni.

I don't know whether it's good RP or just how she is, but she fucking annoys me. Whenever you do something to Rorac because he's being an ass she chimes in with "Stop being mean! You're using your powers when you shouldn't."

I'm sort of leaning towards the conclusion that she's not that bright herself. She gravitated to one idiot before, and now to another. Don't think she's the brightest crayon in the box.

[isenghar]

seeing as he and I are both watched like a hawk by GMs, we have to be careful. If people initiate PvP against Rorac, and he doesn't WARN them, and instead kills them, etc. then he can be locked out.

He does what he has to to not get locked out, but still have an enjoyable time in game. Don't blame him for going OOC, when if he reacts another way he could be locked out. He used to stay completly IC during PvP, and its almost got him banned from the game entirely because of people reporting to whine and complain about him. Now he is smart about it and works within the rules, instead of against them.

Rorac knows the rules and regulations in gemstone as well as just about anyone. Seriously he could be a gemstone lawyer. haha.

So what you're saying is that to enjoy the game Rorac needs to be an asshole and be OOC? There would be no need for him to be warning people if A) he wasn't a fuckup in the first place, and B) didn't harass people.

[Edited on 11-11-2003 by Neff]

[Moist Happenings]

Furthermore, he SHOULD be locked out, just like Silleck was. Silleck got away with a lot of shit because he skirted through the grey area of policy for years. That's just stupid, and I personally don't think Rorac should be in the game.

I "chime in" all the time. Not just when it involves Rorac.

Nice conclusion! Try basing it on fact.

[Moist Happenings]

Pssht. You know perfectly well I was just giving you shit.

[Missoni]

You know perfectly well that I am fragile! I just might cry...

[GSLeloo]

Aw! No crying!

[Moist Happenings]

::rubs his thumb and forefinger together:: Hear that?

[Myrianna]

Cry... it's more fun for the rest of us...

::tosses some klenex at Missoni::

[Moist Happenings]

Yeah great. Let's enjoy the show. I have popcorn. It's a little stomped on but it's still good probably.

[Jack]

Warn interaction has nothing to do with Combat. He doesn't warn people for combat unless he knows for a fact he can kill them, if not he warn interactions them. That screams "Bitch" to me, I don't know about the rest of you.

warn interaciton is most cases is used when certin players push somebody to far and know they will be killed for it so they use that to get away with their actions

[Myrianna]

I've only ever wanted to WARN Interaction once... But that was on account of numerous death threats, which while they may have been for an RP'd reason, were entirely unreasonable ... Being told you better like being dead, because you will be until you return such-and-such... Damn ex-boyfriends...

[Jolena]

Well.. if he is dragging folks from the culdesac then he should expect retribution. If he is bothering someone and makes them angry enough to want to duel him he should expect retribution. However.. the 'challenge' verb is there for that reason. If someone bothers you to that point you officially challenge them to a duel to end your problem. If he doesn't accept then simply have no more interaction with him in the game anymore if it so suits you. If he continues to harrass you then you warn him also. I hate the warn verb as well but in that particular case it may be what's best. If he is truly skirting being locked out of the game and he has bothered someone, then refused to accept their challenge and won't leave them alone afterwards..well another warn interact from someone might just give the GM's that push they need to deal with him. I personally like the player of Rorac a great deal..he's a nice guy to me. However, that type of behavior isn't warranted if he's truly behaving like that.

that is the exact reason there should not be a challenge verb because then they refuse your challange and you cant kill um... not to mention they know its comming. I mean come on do you Think that The Edine would be honorable enough to Challange somebody to a duel... or would he just kill them when they are undefended

[Moist Happenings]

And that's why the challenge verb goes unused. As it should. And though he wasn't bothering me directly when he was dragging people out randomly, he was dragging the people that I was talking to out. They had had absolutely no interaction with him at all. But he would only touch those that he KNEW for a fact were lower level than he was. I don't care what he's like IRL. He shouldn't be playing Gemstone.

[Rastaman]

Why would he mess with people over his level? I too only pick fights I know I can win.

I guess thats my flaw I have bhambi after me now but I will wager I kill her again before she gets me

[Blackroses]

Ummm thats funny b/c Bhambi is after me now too ..LMAO .. I heard she is bought now ??! anyone know who is behind her now ? She threw some names out there but i only know one of the people she mentioned.

[Jolena]

I had a rather interesting encounter with Bhambi at Ebon's. She had on one of those chokers that actually chokes the person to death and she was choking.. she followed me into the shop she got it from and was frantically trying to remove it as it tightened around her neck. She managed to squeak out that she needed help and I tried to remove it to no avail through the act verb but she managed to die anyhow. *stares* Of course.. I'm human and she's a 350 pound giantkin and I could not drag her out. I couldn't even LK her because no magic was able to be used in the shop. As a person I laughed so hard but Jo was mortified lol Finally I found another giantkin to drag her out and I had her raised. If shes' bought..she seemed awfully nice to me. I mean.. she was definately in character the entire time I was interacting with her. Was one of the funniest moments I have had in Gem.

[CrystalTears]

I ran into this fabulous guy yesterday. Big pain. I roleplayed it out and my girl thought he was just being an ordinary giant tool, but I just couldn't stand him. :lol:
