Miscast

[Donut]

So I had some issues with Miscast in the past, then I kinda got involved again. He warn interacted me, after getting his ass handed to him a few times in OTF. (He likes to cast implode and then rely heavily on his mica amulet).

Anyway, after not talking to him for a while, I log in this morning to this..

This guy needs to get a hobby...

[Gigantuous]

yeah...he holds grudges for a long time. apparently, he has a notebook he writes peoples' names in that piss him off.

my name was one of them, until he realized that i had completely forgotten about him in the year or so since i had last fucked with him.

[Donut]

My fine for killing him (I've killed two people in EN in the last six months, including him) was only 2k. Don't they lower fines when you kill individuals who have large criminal histories?

[Asha]

He has a notebook with peoples names in it lol

[Miscast]

Dear Donut (I think you should change your ID to "Pussy"):

You warn interacted me after I killed YOU multiple times in OTF, and then you killed me after the warn because you knew I wouldn't attack you. I know you enjoyed your official warn for that.

Now I think the GMs are going to look the other way every time I kill you.

[Gyldemar Road]
Although the forest is visible on the horizon to the south, there is no way of getting there across the treacherous swamp in between. Slowly the swamp seems to be reclaiming the cobblestone road, leaving less than half the cobblestones even visible in this area.

The roadway rises slightly above the swamp. From the appearances, someone has purposely built a small hillock here atop which two massive granite sentinels stand, silent and unmoving. No method of circumventing the sentinels presents itself. If one wishes to continue along the road in an easterly direction, one must pass between the sentinels. Westward the road slides into the swamp and fights to stay above the sucking mud. You also see the Zodier disk and a large faenor-chased basket.

A few moments later......




[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.

Only a matter of time now before this little bitch lets this get under his skin AGAIN and breaks his own bitch warn. Hilarious.

[Donut]

Sorry pal. I've never warned you before, that was you.

However, I'm not getting into some e-pissing match with a child. If you're going to abuse game-mechanics to get your kills, thats fine. I'm just not going to deal with some retard who can wait by the water in OTF all day, cast quake, then cast implode. Its not really a skill-based PvP/CvC game, despite your best efforts to kid yourself otherwise.

I just thought the earlier encounter was funny because your little mica amulet failed.

Anyway, carry on with someone else; I play the game to enjoy myself not deal with morons.

[Gan]

:(

This thread had potential for a moment.

[Miscast]

The GMs already have the log of you warning me first way back when. Not that it matters. You're a little bitch through and through. Have fun with your gay character.

Also, lets not forget your other display of extreme maturity... (on the dais)

Most of the teller windows that line this room are missing the gates and gratings that once secured them. Impatient clients stand at one of the two intact windows, waiting to get the attention of the tellers on the other side. You also see a low arch and a large sign.

An ancient gnoll keeps a watchful, though nervous, eye over the people visiting Wehnimer's Landing's main bank, the First Elanith Secure Stronghold.

[Town Square, West]
Here in the midst of the town stretches the cobblestoned main bazaar, its serpentine lanes abuzz with traders bartering, bickering, and hawking their wares. The freewheeling vendors in the bazaar provide a lively alternative to the somewhat stodgier merchants whose shops border the square. The gilded but peeling stone facade of the First Elanith Bank dominates this side

Another of his screen names, this one, I'm told, based on something from Sailor Moon:

By the way, Miscast, how's that swim to the barrier working out for you? :D And it might not be wise to taunt Starkly for slamming- Rusty and I have dozens of logs of you slamming to escape us. Over, and over, and over.

Miscasts, you're a little bitch. Before all of the current drama that's getting you your ass handed to you, you killed me multiple times in OTF by "accident" so I've known you were a fucking idiot for a while. You've been getting your ass handed to you by Sabreon and now you want to do the same thing with Starkly? Whatever, but in my opinion you are the definition of a high maintenance customer and I hope you get banned soon.

[Dropped_In]

Good lord. I never expected to see him get past level 30.

[Necromancer]

The current player behind Miscast isn't the original one. He purchased the character around 8 months- 1 year ago. I know this because he came to me for training advice when he did- claiming he had been gone since GS3. He was so astoundingly ignorant of his profession and GS in general (he saw Jamus fogging to him and had to ask me what spell he was using to do it- he had never heard of 225) that it was obvious he had barely played the game.
Since he got the character, he's been nothing short of pathetic- creating dramatic grudges between himself and several other players for the fun of it. (read: he's a little boy with mommy's credit card who's too ugly and uncool to have a real life).

Miscast dude- seriously get a life you loser.

[diethx]

I hate when people fuck around on their laptops in class. In one of my programming classes a few years ago some little guy used to play WoW in the row in front of me, and i'd find myself missing entire lectures because that was more interesting than Java.

[LMingrone]

A few years ago the kid in front of me was playing Everquest on his laptop in Java class. He had his headphones on btw. I watched him slowly start to slump forward and fall asleep. I don't think anyone noticed until some loud ass sound went through his headphones. Kid flew straight backward and smashed his head on the steps behind him. Ran out of the lecture hall probably still half asleep and probably with a bad concussion. No one ever saw him again.

Soz for my violent outburst of hatred.

[Necromancer]

I'm sure he dies a little bit every day. When he looks in the mirror. When he looks at his empty AIM buddy list. When he looks at his empty contacts list on his phone. When he plays GS, and even in a magical world far, far away where no one has ever had to meet him in person...they still hate him.

Does that help?

Everyone fucks around on their laptops, even 1L year. The only time I ever had to read these forums was during Property, though I wasn't quite at the lvl where I was playing GS or WoW in class.

[yesicj]

Yea, I definitely did a lot of power bountying (that's a word now) through the second half of CivPro. There's only so much Erie doctrine and rules of civil procedure a guy can take in one sitting.
Every couple minutes, switch over to Avalon, if I was down from saturated, go do a task, then switch back to class. Rinse, repeat.

[TheEschaton]

I loved the Erie Doctrine! Mainly because it's from my part of the world. I, for some reason, really loved CivPro. The Rule of Perpetuities in Property, or the Uniform Commercial Code in Contracts, though, made me want to gouge my eyeballs out with rusty spoons.

-TheE-

[Nilandia]

If I can manage a wireless signal in class, I'm definitely online, either on IMs or checking message boards. On those rare occasions I find a wireless network in a classroom that doesn't block GS programs, I've been known to log in to work on artisan skills through a script. My poor computer is about to die on me, though, so I don't trust things enough to do anything else.

Gretchen

[TheEschaton]

I think the law school requires wireless signal at any point in the building. We were one of the most wired law schools in the country recently - we're currently putting in a system which can remote record classes, digitize them, upload them to the bc.edu server/iTunes University, and send an EMail to the professor showing them how to give their students access to it. It's fun times over here.

(I only know that because I'm a dork and have a student job in Media Technology Services...yes, I'm an AV dork.)

We were one of the most wired law schools in the country recently - we're currently putting in a system which can remote record classes, digitize them, upload them to the bc.edu server/iTunes University, and send an EMail to the professor showing them how to give their students access to it. It's fun times over here.

(I only know that because I'm a dork and have a student job in Media Technology Services...yes, I'm an AV dork.)

And I'm now officially jealous. We have wireless signals here in student lounge areas and the library, but it's rare I can get a signal in a classroom, and it's been a year since I've been able to pick up an unrestricted signal in a classroom. Wish I could. Half of my profs teach straight from powerpoint with no elaboration, and I have copies of the powerpoints, so I desperately need something to keep me awake.

That's when I start up my emulators, of course. :D

I hate professors that do this. The Powerpoint presentation is a supplement to the lesson, not the entire lesson! I can read those on my own without your help, thanks. These are the classes I do the worst in because its always easy for me to rationalize not going because I don't get much from the "lecture", but then I miss some change to the syllabus that affects my grade.

The teacher I can credit most with my desire to learn and enjoy history and philoshophy....No homework, no text books (this was in high school mind you, where the higher-ups required a set lesson plan) but everyone was required to bring in any article they felt was interesting and explain it for a minute or two every class. The teacher showed up on different occasions dressed as Abe Lincoln (with coffee grounds glued to his face as a beard) and other historic figures. These are the kind of teachers we need.

Hint: People like to learn, especially children.
