Sadly, I had no silvers for the opening of Ebons this year due to poor saving. Luckily, this wonderful guy messaged me in the EG chat room offering to buy my staff that I had posted for sale a few days earlier. I agreed to sell it to him for a mil cheaper than expected, since he had recently been "cheated by Meksill" and I was desperate for silvers, but the exchange never took place due to his having to leave.

Having scrounged up enough silvers for the Ebons IPO, I wasn't particularly keen on selling it today. Kembal has a SECOND part to the log for TWICE the fun.


[Boniface Inn, Common Room]
A massive rock fireplace dominates the common room, nearly filling the far wall with its girth. A staircase climbs the eastern wall, and a thick black felt curtain hangs discreetly in the recessed area beneath it. Facing the staircase is a long oaken bar fronted by several stools for socializing, and tucked into the far corner is a pair of quiet tables for patrons requiring more privacy. You also seea LARGE sign that you feel you really must read, a large silver drink cart with some stuff on it and a basket of sticks. Also here: Alter people

You see Grhim Anyukal the Historian.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be venerable. He has crazed, gold-tinted eyes and pale skin. He has long, unkempt white hair that is knotted in many places and ripped shorter in others. He has deeply sunken cheekbones. Jagged silver canines can be glimpsed briefly between his lips.
He has several painful-looking scars across his abdominal area, and a mangled right arm.
He is holding a slender golden imflass vial in his right hand.
He is wearing a translucent spidersilk backpack, an ominous night-black onyx jackal symbol inset with eerie ruby eyes suspended from a fine black ora chain, a three-orbed black ora talisman, a hooded leather cloak, some blackened veniom cufflinks, some silver-insigiled ebon silk casting gloves, an onyx-inlaid vruul skin thigh-sheath lined with crimson velvet, some ancient black ritual vestments, a rune-stitched Faendryl bag, some silver-buttoned supple black leather pants, and a pair of vaalin-trimmed boots.

A vaulted ceiling of simple, polished oak planks slopes down to meet walls of the same wood. Near the oaken double doors, a sturdy coatrack stands, holding an assortment of outer garments. To one side of the room, a small clerk's desk holds the inn's registry. Above the desk, a large painting hangs on the wall, its colors muted and soothing. A long, narrow rug leads north into the common room, past a cluster of comfortable leather chairs. You also see a large white-bellied hawk that is flying around.

Squishy.

Though the lack of OOC whispers the whole time makes it a very OOC situation.

Kembal

Background: I just sold Grhim an Olba holy vial (the one that sprinkles) about 4 days ago and at that time, he asked me if I knew Evyrsio and about Evy's staff. I told him yes, I did, and that Evy and I were friends as players, though our characters bug each other all the time.

So while Evy and Grhim were discussing in there, Grhim starts whispering to me about how I should tell Evyrsio that he's going to die lots of deaths. I don't even know Evy's in the room at the time, but I whisper back to Grhim and ask what's going on. He starts talking about the staff, and asks me whether I think it's right if someone pulls back on a deal. I say yes, because people have the right to change their minds.

He goes on with one more whisper, and then he and I see Evyrsio walk out of the room, and that's when Evyrsio kills him.

After he gets raised, he comes back in the room, and the following transpires (slightly edited to remove a bunch of extraneous crap):


A massive rock fireplace dominates the common room, nearly filling the far wall with its girth.

lol...thats hilarious. Ghrim sure seems to have a stick up his ass. Evy should make a deal with him to sell the staff but for a ridiculous amount. I would love to see his reaction at that point.

LEgally, once you agree to the terms of a contract, you were bound to sell him that staff at the price you agreed to. It's called reliance, bitches.

I really wish people would pull this shit with me.

AestheticDeath
10-29-2006, 01:19 AM
Well, its bad form to pull out of a deal, no matter how you entered into it.

But, it was a verbal agreement. Nothing seriously binding ya know.

Grhim really has no reason to take it to the threats and killing etc..

I'd be pissed off, and most likely not deal with you again. But death threats are stupid. Especially considering hes much younger than you.

Mistomeer
10-29-2006, 01:37 AM
If you make a deal, you should honor it.

I also like how you complain about how everything is OOC and then attack first. If you were really so concerned about it being OOC, then why would you even attack? Why not let him attack you then report it? Seems to me like you just checked his fame, decided that he was someone you could bully and thus killed him.

Jolena
10-29-2006, 01:56 AM
And this is why, when I have a sale, I usually add in that I reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone for any reason at any time, and/or to pull the item for any reason at any time.

Though I do agree that you taking the initiative to kill him brought the situation quickly IC. You would have done better to let him take it IC instead, and then reported.

Dropped_In
10-29-2006, 01:12 AM
Yes, Mistomeer, you're right. The mature thing to do would be drop all of my spells, lie down, and spit on my dick so it would double as a lightning rod when he bolted me into next year.

Jolena
10-29-2006, 01:23 AM
If you can't see the advantage you'd hold by letting HIM violate the TOS and bring an OOC interaction into game, attacking you without cause etc, so that the GM's have a reason to speak to him and NOT you, then you are more foolish than even Grhim treated you.

Dropped_In
10-29-2006, 01:37 AM
I have/had absolutely no inclination to have anyone warned or otherwise disciplined by GMs, and since you are not one of them, and I was *not* disciplined, let's refrain from making moral judgements about my foolishness.

Jolena
10-29-2006, 01:46 AM
Yes, because its so much better to perpetuate some childish OOC battle between your character and his IC, over a deal made on an OOC medium, than to simply have the GM's deal with his ignorant ass and squash it.

Also, I never said you were disciplined. However, should they have chosen to, you would have been in the wrong, as the entire conversation taking place between the two of you was considered OOC, yet you killed him anyway without any other IC interaction. I doubt they will do anything to you at all, to be honest, because he was clearly in the wrong or he would not have been pulled. That being said, you truly are foolish in my opinion (which is allowed on an open forum where you posted up a log for us to peruse and comment upon) if you fail to see the logic and advantage in letting him overstep his boundary of CvC vs. PvP

Dropped_In
10-29-2006, 01:55 AM
When our argument perpetuates and spirals wildly out of control I'll be sure to give you the heads up.

Lassiter 506
10-29-2006, 02:55 AM
Yes, Mistomeer, you're right. The mature thing to do would be drop all of my spells, lie down, and spit on my dick so it would double as a lightning rod when he bolted me into next year.

No one suggested you lie down. Though the fact that:

1) you rubbed an invis amu prior to his arrival
2) he didn't actually cast a spell
3) you included the "Yes. I'll be dead a lot" comment

does suggest some e-peen stroking on your part. Wellldone though. You initiated the CvC action by casting the first spell and he got pulled.

Ignot
10-29-2006, 02:59 AM
and most important lets not forget that this is a game and supposed to be fun. A simple, "oh okay thats too bad, let me know first if you ever try to sell it again, have a nice day" would have been a better gaming experience for both people. Now look at the shit you started. It's not fun for you and it's not fun for him. GM's involved blah blah blah.

It's just a freakin game...try to enjoy it.

Kembal
10-29-2006, 03:48 AM
I highly doubt GMs were going to get involved in this at all until he started threatening me for no reason. Heck, they were reading his OOC threats to me in that room. Once he made up the crap about having a GM friend, that's when they took action.

Heck, Grhim messaged me in a PM on IRC after he got pulled with this:

<Grrrhim> let's see what happens now hmm

I didn't bother to respond. It's pretty obvious to me now that he figured out he couldn't take Evyrsio, and so he thought threatening me would be a decent second course of action.

In retrospect, anybody who emails me in a deal negotiation and says this in order to convince me to sell an item to them, I should be suspicious of:


Hey, I read your message on the forum and am really
interested in it, please mail me back with a price
you'd like on it.

I'm a consumate roleplayer, so I promise it won't be
going to waste, or rot in a locker.

Silly me for believing that was actually true.

Considering its totally against policy to even hint at sharing someone else's conduct record or other information with another player... I would say he's either full of shit or a complete idiot.

Either way I'd have yanked him out just to see if he was stuipd enough to give up the GM if it were true.

And I would think that any agreement involving the sale of a tangible item would need to be accompanyed by a written contract, much like real estate. I dont remember verbal contracts over the agreement of sale of tangible items being enforceable. But thats way bringing RL into the auspices of Gemstone reality - which is foolish to consider.

Lucos
10-29-2006, 04:00 PM
Ghrim is a douche. He was trying to sell me some stuff on the Landing amunet and when I told him what he had for sale wasn't worth my time, he got all pissy. Tossed threats and made comments about my character's name. I never considered wiping the floor with his ass, which would have been so easy, but I realized I was being sucked down to his whining asshat playing level by arguing with him on the amunet, so I just shut my mouth and dropped it.

I would suggest that you do the same when it comes to him.

If there is one thing I would do differently in the entire 11 or so years I have been playing GS, it would be the day I picked a name for Lucos. I didn't even know there were Akarti, much less one named Luukos. I got the name from the old search engine Lycos...heh.

Fair enough. I don't think he has any room to talk, though.

Latrinsorm
10-29-2006, 06:12 PM
So you talked about levels all the time in game?This is a false dichotomy; your only choices are not to refer to levels as levels or to refer to levels as age. The best choice is to not refer to level at all in-game.

You've also made an odd side-step/reframe: your first comment was made on a message board (and thus not IC), whereas the (faulty) defense you postulated was made as if your first comment was made in-game or in-character.

All in all, point to Alfster.

Caede
10-29-2006, 06:23 PM
I always get a giggle out of Grhim -- I've seen him on Psinet repeatedly (just in the last 3-4 weeks since I think he's been back?) tossing around how many GMs he knows, going so far as making fun of another player for saying he knew 'a GM'. Looks like knowing all those GMs didn't help him when they watched his OOC whispers, though. Darn.

Uh... don't care either way about this deal. Grhim is a dick; this is well-known; let's all move along.

AestheticDeath
10-29-2006, 07:00 PM
This is a false dichotomy; your only choices are not to refer to levels as levels or to refer to levels as age. The best choice is to not refer to level at all in-game.

First off, quit playing with the dictionary. Secondly stop wasting our time.

Your choices are the same. If you dont refer to levels as levels, yet refer to them as something, then you must be using age as a descriptor.

In our supposed argument:
Level = Level or Level = Age

That is a dichotomy, not a false dichotomy. Unless you are calling levels by something other than those two, like train. In which case I guess its a false dichotomy.


You've also made an odd side-step/reframe: your first comment was made on a message board (and thus not IC), whereas the (faulty) defense you postulated was made as if your first comment was made in-game or in-character.
Your inferring something that isnt there. I couldnt care less about IC stuff, here or in game. Tearing apart someones post, because of a pet peeve you had in a game you no longer play... is rediculous. Trying to support someone over such a farce is also rediculous. Give him a reach around or something, I am sure he would be just as appreciative.

I tend to equate level with age for whatever reason. Get over it.

First off, quit playing with the dictionary.A more appropriate dig would be "quit playing with the encyclopedia", seeing as how "false dichotomy" is more an esoteric term than an esoteric use of vocabulary. It becomes apparent that you're unfamiliar with the phrase, though, so I can see how this happened.

A false dichotomy is when someone proposes two choices as if no other choice exists. For instance: "If you don't want to vote Republican, you have to vote Democrat." Your particular false dichotomy was: "If you don't want me to refer to levels as levels, I have to refer to levels as age." It also got a little befuddled as the frame of reference shimmied, but I've mentioned that before.
Tearing apart someones post, because of a pet peeve you had in a game you no longer play... is rediculous. Trying to support someone over such a farce is also rediculous.Tearing apart someone's post looks like this: ridiculous not rediculous, someone's not someones, you're not your, isn't not isnt, and so on. Asking a question isn't tearing, it's asking.
I tend to equate level with age for whatever reason. Get over it.You realize of course that no one told you to stop; it was only brought to your attention that you were making the error (by Alfster) and that your defense was questionable (by me). :)

So I'm not the only one with a problem with this guy?

I just had the pleasure of meeting him friday. I was chasing a thief and had quaked to slow him down and knocked Grhim over, I picked him up and apologized but that wasn't enough, he bitched and moaned then attacked me. I left him cursed, stunned, and without limbs in the street.

Then an hour or so later within the EG grounds he started threatening me again, so I did the same again. Except I also left him with a 5 minute nightmare as well.

I haven't heard back yet.

Let's drop the vocabulary lesson and age/level argument from this thread. You're welcome to make a new thread about it.

I tell ya Grhim, ya needs to lay of the cock for a while. "Grhim" and one of my cahracters had headbutted also...he was going to kill her over and over. He tryed kill her (I'll give him credit for that much) when she just blasted him with Dark Catalyst and took his punk ass out. Well, yeah she went to jail, but it doesn't say alot when my fine was only 24k for his death...hmmmm

Grhim does indeed know members of staff. Doesn't mean they wouldn't tell him he's an idiot too. I think that's what he got from a mutual acquaintance the other night. Pulling out on a deal was lame...but he was lamer for going all OOC about it.

I'm confused on how knowing members of staff makes people special, anyway. Depending on who you know, it might make you special ed.

Ghrim is retarded. The end.

Actually he said, "No, I have to go," and left the chat room without telling me his character's name or leaving any contact information. I'm not a Stop 'n Go.

Much like Ghrim, this thread needs to die.
