fucking vulture empath Tayre

[RichardCranium]

Doesn't matter. She is the single biggest detractor of the game today. Fuck her and everything she stands for.

[Methais]

You act like she was the only one that reported :)

Exactly what rules was Tayre violating to warrant any reporting in the first place?

[Dwarven Empath]

TSC!

I'm surprised so few remember Banauge. He had an extremely complex script for healing years ago, and managed to get up to level 130 with it, one of the oldest in the game at the time. When he was finally caught and punished he got a 100 level demotion out of it.

Anyways, as I recall his script included interactions with it, he said he had hundreds of possible conversation combinations for asking, thanking for tips, etc. Additionally I believe his script worked by timing things. He specifically did not start healing people until they had been in the room for a little while, thus giving other empaths a chance. So in the end he was more like a failsafe healer for TSC rather than a vulture healer. He would scan the room for people who had wounds and had been standing around a little bit then ask them if they wanted healing.

Really though, empaths are one of the strongest hunting professions now, the territorialism being bandied about is duh duhduh dumb. Fuck, needing empaths for healing annoyed me so much that I got my own back in 1999, and thankfully haven't really needed to visit a place like TSC since.

[RichardCranium]

I remember the name, but not much else about him.

[Bobmuhthol]

The story is credible, because Banauge's first blog post in 2003 was "Hello, World!" He is clearly a programmer.

[Methais]

Whatever happened to that old GS hate page anyway? I remember reading all about Banauge on there, as well as other "cheaters" like Dartaghan, etc.

All I really remember about the page was a picture of a pissed off pig that was supposed to be Sayzor.

Nah, pretty sure cunts like you did too. She's your ringleader though. Ringleader o' cunts is the formal title, actually.

that's fine. i'm not going to dispute it. i don't really care. but they all left at exactly the same time.

[SayGoodbye]

Oh no. Conspiracy.

[Bobmuhthol]

Let me guess, you were in one of the most popular rooms in the game. Holy shit!!

[SayGoodbye]

I know I've said it before but I can't stand shit heads who say "OMG THEY IS THE SAME PERSON" because they log on or log off at the same time.

In this case I don't know if it's true, but it wouldn't matter because the shit heads don't believe you when it's not true.

Haha, that the best you got? I never reported Tayre. I returned to the game a week ago and only saw him in action one time when I went for healing. As for the Medica whatever her name is, I don't know her. But, if it came down to choosing a side... I would choose hers, some of the people here are real winners and wouldn't want to associate with that.

As far as what rules he could be breaking. It is all a grey area, but a few examples could be... "However, any scripting activity that lasts over 10 minutes will be considered long-term scripting. Also, spending 25% or more of your time online scripting will be considered excessive." "However, any script that's deemed by a GM to be disruptive or not in the best interest of GemStone IV or its players will be warned when discovered."

I could quote the whole scripting section of the Rules of Conduct, but I won't.

[Gan]

This thread is beginning to fail.

Beginning?

:(

[Deathravin]

Bottom line. If people didn't want a vulture empath, they'd just put Tayre on cold so he couldn't heal them.

It's not a secret that people like efficiency. And it's not a secret how to prevent people from healing you. I'm glad somebody finially got up the balls to stand up to the communist empaths in TSC. This is simply capitalism at it's finest. He built a better mousetrap and it's putting the rest of you whiners out of buisness.

Tayre is Walmart.

This all boils down to the fact that there is something wrong in the head with people who play empaths. They are all wackjobs.

"However, any scripting activity that lasts over 10 minutes will be considered long-term scripting. Also, spending 25% or more of your time online scripting will be considered excessive."

In my experience they only apply this rule for when you get caught, for instance if you stand like a zombie in consultation for 10 minutes your punishment is generally way more severe then if you snap out of it 10 seconds into it. Ive been caught in both situations, when I got a "scripting violation" I lost my head experience and got a firm talking to. When I got a "long term scripting violation" I lost my head, all my silver, 10k experience and an official warning as well as the highest level DR possible. Also just to head off the comments coming, I fully expected to be punished and am in no way complaining about the penalties just stating what they were for each situation.

Are you trying to say you want to be associated with losers?

It doesn't take 10 minutes to completely heal someone.. so you lose. I would also say that there is more downtime for a healer.. than actually healing someone.. so that makes you a 2 time loser in one paragraph. You did hit a homerun with the catch all 'rule' though.. essentially making a GM the king of the game and if they don't like it.. tough fucking shit.

he didn't just heal one person and he didn't have any 'down time' either that most of the problem. The 'script' was causing a lot of disruption and was also very obviously a script, like the scripts that run you around towns to get citizenship are obviously scripts, there was no response time and it was spoiling other paying customers enjoyment of what is meant to be a fun game.... there's no need for that at all, people pay to play to have fun for the most part and the 'script' was ruining it for a large portion of people over a considerable time period. Also given his past sentiments on script healing its obvious that the player of Tayre knew full well the upset he was causing.

[Blushy]

Wow, Gib's healing script was rude as hell. He was so concerned with vacuuming wounds off people faster than Tayre that he didn't seem to notice he was vulturing victims out from under everybody else. Anybody can write an insta-vacuum cleaner script; Tayre's is cool because (among other things) it's scrupulously polite.

Also "Gibreficul" is a stupid, stupid name.

Wow, what a fucking whiner....what an entire crew of fucking whiners about someone getting the wounds before them. Go eat a bowl of dicks & hunt or something if you don't like it. God forbid you put some EFFORT into levelling.

As a result of this thread I've decided to use herbs unless Tayre or a few other empaths (Senato, Ana (if she's in the landing)) are available.

Hmm... and hunting takes more effort? hunting with my mage is easier than any healing i've ever done because i don't use a script... Also, i'm hardly 'whining' just commenting on a forum which was designed for people to post comments on, and no... i didn't complain to any GM's about it, I've simply stated my feelings on here.

*note to self*
must run to a hunting ground with a travel script, then hit the macro buttons a few times to gain experience, then script back to show how much effort i can put into something while sitting on my ass in front of a computer screen.

[Xiandrena]

hunting with my mage is easier than any healing i've ever done

What kind of healing are you doing?

[Daniel]

The anal kind

[Raffles]

What kind of healing are you doing?

Not using a script basically, that and screen scroll and judging who is more likely to die on a busy day and taking their wounds first when possible, but as i said earlier in the thread i don't really play my healer all that often any more.

Im not on here to 'support' the whole empath profession, and i'm not one of the empaths in TSC, i just think that what Tayre's player was doing was wrong due to the needless upset it was causing. And yes i feel there are plenty of times when hunting is far easier than healing.

[Audriana]

Unfortunately, Raffles, that goes both ways.

[Xiandrena]

Empaths are versatile and I feel bad for the ones who pigeonhole themselves into doing just one thing. Hunting or healing. Let Tayre piss off some Landing empaths, maybe they'll find out that hunting is fun too.

[StrayRogue]

Hunting rats is easier than healing. Thats about it.

[NocturnalRob]

Hunting rats is easier than healing. Thats about it.

yeah, i don't understand how running around trying to kill things that can kill you is easier than sitting on your ass in a sanct'd room and having experience come to you. And on top of that, most of the time you get tipped.

Stop whining. Type faster.

[Drew2]

Stray was saying the only thing easier than healing is hunting rats. I had to think about it a minute too, he worded it poorly. But he's not complaining.

[StrayRogue]

Perhaps I should have quoted.


And yes i feel there are plenty of times when hunting is far easier than healing.

Hunting rats is easier than healing. I can't think of many other things that is easier, in the game, than being sat on your ass all day transferring.

[Bobmuhthol]

Healing is so infinitely fucking easier than hunting. Risk-free experience at a constant node? SO HARD!!

<<Empaths are versatile and I feel bad for the ones who pigeonhole themselves into doing just one thing. Hunting or healing.>>

Having played a healing-only empath with absolutely no hunting ability, there's nothing wrong with choosing one or the other. I was a million times better as a healer than most capped empaths.

[TheWitch]

Empaths had seen the last of my gals months ago, after the following:

My rogue was hunting, at which she sucks.
She stumbles onto the dais, gasping and clutching her arm.
She crawls over to the bench, but there's none of what she needs.
She wails, and generally makes a nuisance out of herself (very typical).
This stupid stupid stupid empath, who says things like, "need healies?" (aren't those sneakers with wheels in the bottom?) whispers to my rogue, "Is this your way of saying you'ld like healing?"

JFC.

They're either too stupid to live, or they're all about bouncing and hugging and whining and general bunny puppy kitty shit they just seem to ooze from their every oriface.

There are maybe two exceptions.
The rest of them don't exist as far as I'm concerned.

Never said healing only or hunting only was the way to go. I said I "felt bad" for people who only did one thing because in my case that would drive me absolutely batty. To each his (or her) own.

I've been an empath and healed somebody that didn't want to be. They are real assholes about it most of the time. So Empaths make damn sure that you actually WANT healing. Obviously that empath could have done a better job to RP it ("Would you like me to ease your pain?" instead of "Healies?"), but for him/her/she/they/it to just heal you even with something that obvious could potentially be wrong and get you all pissed off.

[TheWitch]

Yea, the vulture defense. "I don't wanna be a vulture!"

I suppose it works here.

Except there's a rather LARGE difference between someone injured coming quietly into a room and the empath swooping in for the free exp with nary a word from either party,
and
responding in some sort of IC manner to someone who's thrashing around on the ground wailing.

So, yea.

Yes, because in 12 years of playing, the Healie Gal was the first empath I've ever encountered.

The original post pointed out that that was what put me over the edge.
After hundreds of other unpleasant, stupid or overly cuddly encounters.

Your not really running around killing things and being killed, your hitting keys with your fingers... I've just found in my experience that hunting with my Mage is easier AT TIMES than sitting a healer in a busy square and healing people who can be incredibly rude sometimes, also my healer never accepts tips. To top it off i've seen more off the cuff RP in town squares (not the landing admittedly) than on hunts where generally people are just firing off at critters, filling their heads, running back to town only to go through the whole charade again 5 mins later. But then i'm not just in it to grab the most experience in the shortest alloted time but thats just me.

Sadly i don't know many people that can respond faster than a computer program so typing faster wouldn't of been an option if i'd had a healer in the square when this was going on.

Healing is so infinitely fucking easier than hunting. Risk-free experience at a constant node? SO HARD!!

Until yer script fucks up (or YOU FUCK UP) and overheal. Then suddenly there IS risk involved. Mind you, risk IF there's user error, but still, there's SOME risk.

Empath hunting = INcant 1106 (I like F3 for this). (repeat until something dies) Then LOOT (I like using F4 for this)

So, my typical "empath hunt" after spelling up, of course, is F3 F3 F4, F3 F3 F3 F4, F3 F4, F3 F3 F3 F4. (continue until mana is out, then go to town.) It's MUCH harder for me to keep starting my healdown scripts than it is to tap 2 macro keys. So long as it's not immune to shatter and you can ward it, yer golden.

[Ben 2.0]

Tayre is cool. Stop cryin'. go heal in river's rest.

[JamusPsi]

Until yer script fucks up (or YOU FUCK UP) and overheal.

My script, and therefore Tayre's script, does not make this possible.

if(%health > 75)

The comparison is kinda iffy anyway though. With sufficient automation they're both equally easy. Type one line, go fap. Healing you have to type a few letters of someone's name (or worse, actual injury locations, gasp). Hunting, you have to get there, get back, and enter directions to move around looking for monsters. The relative difficulties are not a straight-forward comparison.

[Stanley Burrell]

Tayre is cool. Stop cryin'. go heal in river's rest.

Empaths have no idea how hardcore they're missing out in the Rest. This due to the lack of certain healing herbs being purchasable from NPCs, not to mention all sorts of injured folks. Constantly.

RR healing is sort of an undiscovered art.

I forget I'm dealing with the majority of you who never have to deal with losing unique items which definitely puts a whole new perspective on the dangers of hunting & risking losing your gear vs the 'sit on ass in tsc & heal then whine it's just as hard as hunting' train of thought.

It also says nothing about the random death mechanics from mobs like illoke. There's no random element to healing. You're either smart and don't over heal, or dumb and over heal and die.

My scripts never overhealed me, because I neither use nor create shitty scripts. There is absolutely no risk in this case.

<<It's MUCH harder for me to keep starting my healdown scripts than it is to tap 2 macro keys. So long as it's not immune to shatter and you can ward it, yer golden.>>

Yep, some of that "Giggly Puff Fluff" is pretty unique. It sucked losing it before when you guys got off your fat asses and went to hunt once in a while.

[Gnomad]

RR healing is sort of an undiscovered art.Every once in a while, when i had my roommate's pocket empath in RR, i'd charge people upfront to heal them.

"2 missing arms and you're convulsing so badly you can't cast spells? 8k." And people would make the bank run.

Also you can buy any landing herb/potion in RR, you just need to know where to look.

[Blushy]

Healing may be "lower risk" than hunting if you're at least as smart as a rock, but it sure doesn't haul in the experience as quickly.

So both sides are right: hunting is "harder" in that you might actually die. Healing is "harder" in that you level more slowly.

Well you are right, I am a retard due to lack of reading comprehension, but not because of the quote you posted. I was responding to this:

Which I retardedly read to say "I forget that I'm dealing with the majority of you who have never had to deal with losing unique items".

Lacking reading comprehension skills, and/or reading words into your post that weren't there, I erroneously assumed you were talking about playing when droppage still existed.

My apologies. Your point certainly has merit with me now. Especially because of people recently explaining that almost all Empaths in plat hunt primarily for exp, as there aren't enought people to really level without hunting.

[GeminisChild]

:wtf:
Tayre is a kickass Emapth.. So.. he runs a damn script.. whatever.. Last time I spent time in Hell.. er I mean TSC Half of the empaths didn't do anything while people ran in bleeding to death.. and the other half bitched about the two that was killing themselves to keep others alive..

As for Tayre.. Once again.. Great empath, comming from another empath.. He's saved my ass countless times. I'd take him over 100 TSC Empaths..

[Misun]

Now if only we could get him to Solhaven. I dislike having to wait for the empaths in the landing to stop flirting, giggling, dancing or whatever they do to heal me. It's why I eat herbs most of the time. But seriously, if I didn't want him to heal me, which he hasn't yet, I would just whisper to another. Not a problem there.

Oh, and I do have an empath who has healed next to him, so what? I enjoy more rp (no, I don't giggle or dance or touch people. ::gags::) and some prefer that as well, they will whisper to my empath. If someone wants a 'quicky' then it's Tayre they want to see. Simple as that.

[Methais]

he didn't just heal one person and he didn't have any 'down time' either that most of the problem. The 'script' was causing a lot of disruption and was also very obviously a script, like the scripts that run you around towns to get citizenship are obviously scripts, there was no response time and it was spoiling other paying customers enjoyment of what is meant to be a fun game.... there's no need for that at all, people pay to play to have fun for the most part and the 'script' was ruining it for a large portion of people over a considerable time period. Also given his past sentiments on script healing its obvious that the player of Tayre knew full well the upset he was causing.

Unfortunately for you, he's not violating any rules.

Therefore, you...well just click here:

http://reallylose.ytmnd.com


But then i'm not just in it to grab the most experience in the shortest alloted time but thats just me.

You're playing the game wrong.

[Philosopher]

Unfortunately for you, he's not violating any rules.

Well, at least he's not violating policy by virtue of scripting alone (he's not violating Policy 18, for instance).

I think that Raffles might say that he's violating Policy 3, though. In the portion you quote, Raffles says, "The 'script' was causing a lot of disruption . . . and it was spoiling other paying customers['] enjoyment of what is meant to be a fun game . . . [P]eople pay to play to have fun for the most part and the 'script' was ruining it for a large portion of people over a considerable time period. Also given his past sentiments on script healing its obvious that the player of Tayre knew full well the upset he was causing."

If Raffles is right (and everything quoted seems pretty reasonable to me), then this is at least somewhat plausibly thought to be a violation of the following policy:


GemStone IV Player Policy: Abusive Or Disruptive Behavior

Because GemStone IV is a multi-player game, there can sometimes be a conflict between an individual player's idea of entertainment and that of the majority of the players as a whole. In such situations, the majority will be given the greatest weight.

GemStone IV is designed for the enjoyment of everyone, and as a general rule, any behavior which is specifically targeted to lessen that enjoyment for another player may be in violation of GemStone IV policy. While what is disruptive is an extremely long list, it includes things such as harassment, sexual advances, and actions specifically targeted to be disruptive.

Now, maybe the "majority" of players don't have an idea of entertainment that conflicts with Tayre's idea of entertainment -- though a large number seem to -- and so perhaps the first paragraph doesn't apply. I'm not sure. But even so, if Raffles is right, the second paragraph is perhaps violated because Tayre's player knew that his actions were lessening the enjoyment of the game for other players and continued to do them, even specifically targeting them (if I understand correctly) to interfere with Medica-whatever's ability to heal.

I think this was the "official" line on the Tayre situation, too, but I could be wrong about that.

Every single part of official policy has a loophole that lets the GMs do whatever they want. Quoting it and pointing out where someone "Might be violating policy" is pointless. Your always violating policy if a GM says you are. The end.

I disagree. Even so, I admit that applying the particular policy that I quoted is going to involve appeal to largely subjective criteria. I quoted it only in response to an outright, definitive statement that what Raffles was talking about violated no rules. That's not clearly true, given this policy.

What's more, if it's true (as you say) that you're "always violating policy if a GM says you are," then it's probably just as pointless for one of us to declare definitively that no policy violation occurred, especially when this is something about which GMs have taken some action, apparently (if I recall correctly) citing the very policy I quoted.

The translation of your 1st paragraph into normal = I disagree but I agree except in responce to this other guy even though I am quoting your post not his. Fail.

The translation of your 2nd paragraph = If what you say is true theres no point defending him using policy either.

Ya I suppose, I can always defend Tayre outside of simultronics policy. I know theres an awsome thought that right and wrong exist outside a non-legal policy made by an online roleplaying company in 1995. Shocking. I think simultronics policy is about as important to me, and my characters, for that matter as the covenant contract of a condo I dont live in.

=

If your basing your "false" on the fact that you said "This particular part of policy" please remember that one of the policies is the high maintenance user policy which states anything deemed destructive by a GM may result in termination of account which overrides all other policy by basically giving them cartblanch to ban whoever they want.

[C-3PO]

What mission? What are you talking about? I've had just about enough of you! Go that way! You'll be malfunctioning within a day, you nearsighted scrap pile!

And don't let me catch you following me begging for help, because you won't get it.

[Philosopher]

Sorry in advance for all the bolding. To be clear, you said (with emphasis added):


Every single part of official policy has a loophole that lets the GMs do whatever they want. Quoting it and pointing out where someone "Might be violating policy" is pointless. Your always violating policy if a GM says you are. The end.
This is what I disagreed with. I then said:


I admit that applying the particular policy that I quoted is going to involve appeal to largely subjective criteria.
This is not saying "the same friggin thing [you] just said." You said that every single part of policy has a loophole that lets the GMs do whatever they want. I said that the application of this one particular policy, Policy 3, involves (but does consist entirely of) appeal to largely (i.e., in large part, but not entirely) subjective criteria. What I said does not say, or entail, that every single part of policy has a loophole. It says, at most, that one particular policy has what might be construed as a loophole. But even if it says that (and I don't think that it does), it says that this is only largely, but not entirely, true of that policy, so that even this policy does not "let the GMs do whatever they want." It has some objectivity to it.

So what I said is not at all what you say in your translation.

Now you go on to say:


If your basing your "false" on the fact that you said "This particular part of policy" please remember that one of the policies is the high maintenance user policy which states anything deemed destructive by a GM may result in termination of account which overrides all other policy by basically giving them cartblanch to ban whoever they want.
If what you say here is true, then it would show that I am wrong to disagree with you about every policy having a loophole, but it would still not show that my very disagreement itself is translatable into your alleged translation. Whether what I said is false, and whether it means what you said it means, are two different issues.

Hopefully this is clear. This is not very productive.

My original response to you was four sentences long. One of those sentences was two words. My second response to you was one word long. My posts only became (slightly) complicated when you insisted on mistranslating what I said and riddled your posts with sarcasm and insults. I simply then explicitly clarified what I had said in order to hopefully move the thread back to its original topic (which is why I said that that this was unproductive).

In any case, I agree with Methais's last comment about this thread.

[Miss Ismurii]

EW. That's so gross dude.

[arlia]

If you people don't want him to heal you, then ask another empath for healing via whisper. Will probably make a new friend or two this way.

That's what I do.

[arlia]

Empaths actually started healing without permission just to get around him.

PS My character hates Tayre, that does not mean I do.


I've noticed that happening quite a bit more lately, even in rooms other than TSC. That's why my demeanor is usually set to cold.

[arlia]

Yeah, good luck finding a healer then.

That is if you don't have your own healer on another account. :)

[Miss Ismurii]

Honestly I don't see anything wrong with Tayre or any other empath healing you as long as it is QUICK. No one likes those slow ass healers who take like literally a minute when you could get healed from someone who will heal you in like 3 seconds. That's whyy I don't nod.

She has a delicate vaalin chain looped with crescent moons and stars in the upper ridge of her right ear, some spiraling golden rings in her left eyebrow, a silvery moonstone stud in her left nostril, a twisted blackened ora ring in her lip, and a twining ivy tattoo on her ankle.
She has a strange case of muscle twitching, and some minor cuts and bruises on her left hand.
She is holding an elven krodera tower shield incised with a ruby-eyed skull in her left hand.
She is wearing a wiregrass bracelet, a silver-traced dark emerald collar, a tree bark amulet, a crescent moon clasped cloak, a small rose, a dagger pierced heart escutcheon, a moonlight silver sylvan bodice laced with some white diamond-beaded laces, a royal blue herbalist's satchel, some contoured black sylvan leathers inset with tiny emerald moons and tiny diamond stars, a polished blue diamond ring, a short black velvet skirt slit deeply on the side and edged with tiny diamonds along the hem, a wiregrass anklet, and some tightly-laced black dancing shoes rimmed with tiny diamonds.

Boooooooooo!

[stonegonad]

I don't so much mind the script. It looks like a good one.
The problem with Tayre is that he treats my character like an asshole.

I wouldn't mind a little CvC fighting, it's been a while since my char's had any drama.

It's just a shame that this thread brought so much attention to Tayre, now any drama that happens is gonna be on the highlight list of the GM's screen. And i'd rather not have to deal with any in game staff.

oooh the woes of Gemstone.

[Seran]

Wouldn't be so much hate if some of those c-bags couldn't hold it against Tayre for the guys wanting his pretty Latino ass more than their gaping meatflaps.

[KrolvinScout]

People don't think very much I guess.

Befriend Tayre Cold works wonders I'd assume for you or your "Clients"

If people did that, poof Tayre would no longer be able to heal whoever befriends him in a Cold Demeanor. If the other empaths are getting pissy at his script, tell people to befriend him that way *shrug*

As for me, I have no problem with anyone who wants to heal me, even without asking..Less time wasted out of my breath :)

Not True. I very much enjoy the time a healer will take to interact with my character as the heal. In particular Nilandia, and she will ask you if you prefer her more surgical approach to healing, or just want it quick and dirty. :aww: I prefer a healer to react to the fact that they just took my missing leg and had their own ripped off, and not just giggle and hug me, or push me away looking for the next patient.

I'm not saying this is 'the' way to heal, there are as many ways to heal as there are empaths. And just as many to avoid empathic behavior you want to avoid, all of which have been mentioned throughout this thread.

I've even whispered to Tayre myself for healing, if I'm in a hurry, because I know wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, its done and off I can go.

I will NOT seek healing at the North Gate. Not necessarily because I don't like any of the healers there, I disagree with the GM intervention of promoting healing there with 'heres your sign'.

Aw... thanks! I'm glad people appreciate it!

I just about fell out of my chair last night when I was talking to Baelog while waiting on the Star to get back to the Landing.

He had called Nilandia a girly-girl because she said she actually cared about who won the tea platter, at which point she pulled out her jar of maggots and showed it to him. His immediate reaction was something to the effect of, "So? They're good for cleaning wounds."

He was the first person to understand why she carries them, and after a while, he said he would come to her if he needed healing, because he knew she actually knew her stuff.

So thanks to Baelog. I don't get the chance to play that angle too often, and I'm always glad to see other people who look for it.

I understand because of the healing, but most people don't want to waste time when they want to be in then out real quick to be hunting or whatnot. I do give kudos to those who RP but in a not too lengthy obnoxious way. And I really dislike the bloody empaths who giggle after they're missing like 3 limbs = bad RP. And at least Nilandia asks.

[urmom]

After the last week or so I can honestly say I will whisper to tayre every single time I see him, for healing. Sitting in tsc repeating "Could I get some healing" or 10 other variations for 5 minutes before some empath gets off his ass has just made me go straight to the herbalist after the first try. I'm not gonna sit around repeating myself forever like a jackass when I can eat herbs in a minute or two.

[Methais]

Empaths can vulture me all they want. The less injured I am, the better. I'd even go so far as to tip them more just for being on top of their game.

That's like asking what would happen if everyone in the world farted at the same time.

What would happen though?

15 minutes after Tayre gets banned, the game fucking implodes.

Coincidence?

I wanted to revive this thread because it's fucking awesome. And since Tayre is back why not.

But this confused me.... How can you get banned for being ATK?

[JackWhisper]

He'd been caught previously using the autoheal script. The GM was hawking him to see him initiate it, I'm guessing.

Though, not in his defense mind you, it doesn't seem to be quite apropos to ban based off utilizing a vulture script, if you're at the keyboard, does it?

[Astray]

I read through this and the threads posted, man they are pure gold.

Since when is scripting against the rules? You'd have to ban all of Gemstone.

[Astray]

The crackdowns they do are moronic. I know if I couldn't script, I'd be done with GS. Sorry but it's not fun to manually type all the damn directions to and from Landing to the nation.

Simu tells you what's fun!!!11

[JackWhisper]

I can't speak to why, just that Tayre was known for doing it, and had a bad rap with some of the GM's over it. One of them waited for their moment, I guess.

[JackWhisper]

Astray, I can still do Icemule-Landing from memory using the num pad. So much sadness in how long it took me to memorize every step.

[JackWhisper]

TGO!

In Soviet Russia, YOU tell SIMU what is fun!

Some GMs get off on thinking they are some sort of cop on a sting operation or something.

It's probably been 15-20 years but I can still do Icemule to Pinefar by memory too :/

[JackWhisper]

LOL TGO I remember when Neelin got scriptchecked by some ASSHAT GM. Here's what went down.

11:01:03 Greater earth elemental: TELL ME WHY YOU ARE KILLING MY BRETHREN.
11:01:05 Me in real life: WTF?
11:01:06 Me in real life: *PANIC*

11:01:12 You feel yourself being whisked away...blablabla..... South Lobe, Bowels...
11:01:25 [SEND] AsshatGM: Didn't catch you respond. Next time use words, not just an unintelligible scream please. Thank you for being responsive to the gaming environment.
11:01:37 Me in game: >Yell YEAH LET'S SEE YOU NOT FREAK THE HECK OUT WHEN A ROCK STARTS TALKING. THEY'RE PETS, NOT PEOPLE.
11:01:43 You feel an old memory bubbling up...blabla
11:01:58 [Send] DifferentGM: I laughed at that quite hard. Thank you.

Absolutely pissed me the fuck off that I was being targeted like that.

[Tgo01]

GMs be crazy.

I also like how a GM is telling you to act out of character in response to a script check that is very much in character :/

[Astray]

I remember being script checked in fucking rats. Fresh character, no strikes on the account.

[Tgo01]

I remember being script checked in fucking rats. Fresh character, no strikes on the account.

I'm almost positive there is some sort of flag that is put on new characters to watch them closely for script usage; GMs probably assume the character might actually be a new player and are not familiar with the scripting policy.

The last 5 or 6 characters I've created have been script checked at least once before reaching level 10.

[JackWhisper]

I wouldn't have cared, but that entire thing literally took less than a minute. That fucking GM was ON MY ASS READY to yank me INSTANTLY. Five seconds reaction timer? Seriously? The fuck is the matter with some of these powerhungry prickfucks nowadays??

[JackWhisper]

I scripted Neelin through giant ants because you cant script giant rats in the sewer area. Sucks. Never got checked though.

[Tgo01]

Less than a minute to determine someone is afk scripting is stupid.

[Astray]

My response was "Really?" and got an RPA. Blatantly out of character but fuck it's annoying.

[Wrathbringer]

I heard if you scream profanities at them they'll leave you alone.

[Gelston]

You have to run breakgs.cmd

[Tgo01]

My response was "Really?" and got an RPA. Blatantly out of character but fuck it's annoying.

One time I just said "I'm here" and the GM left me alone.

Some GMs go over board with the shit though, like the ones who used to give me like a quiz of sorts to make sure I was really at the keyboard.

They said something like "You buy a cup of coffee that costs 35 cents, what two coins would you give the cashier?"

I responded with something like "You trying to trick with these script checks now or what?"

The GM said "No, just answer the question."

I think I rolled my eyes or something or said some smart ass remark and the GM said "Which two coins do you pay with? If you do not answer I will have to assume you are afk scripting."

I was thinking "Really dude? I'm fucking having a conversation with you and you think I'm afk scripting?"

[Haldrik]

GMs be crazy.

[JackWhisper]

The sewers are all repeat rooms, identical wording. Bigshot has trouble with that because wander sucks with identical rooms.

Oh. It should take like all of 1 minute to set up a path system using a predetermined variable list. But I guess it could be irritating having to edit it into bigshot.

Fixed with proper script check response.

LOL Inorite?

[JackWhisper]

TGO!
Proper response to GM: I pay with a BALLER silver dollar, and demand 75 cents in change. Because she has to pay ME 10 cents for the silver dollar. Osnap.

And then demand they answer you or they're AFK GM-Douchetrolling.

[Latrinsorm]

Just fyi, you can kill Rock Jesus if you want but it's kinda pointless.

It's such a great response it makes sense anywhere. These fucking gms never change.

There's a second Shitter on the grassy knoll!

A roll of quarters in the sock across the face and run? Two quarters go flying out of a hole in the sock.

What I can't tip for a cup of coffee?

[JackWhisper]

Just go emo and be like I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO COUNT! HOW DARE YOU BRING UP THE FACT I WAS NEVER TAUGHT MATH! DAMN YOU GM!

Or pull the race card.

I AM CHINESE! I ONLY DEAL WITH YEN! WHAT IS YOUR CONVERSION RATIO!?

I did consider making a joke with Japanese yen, but problem is you have to pay with minimum 4 coins if you want to do exact change.

Incidentally, China's currency is the yuan.

I'll give 1m to the next person who gets script checked and answers with something code looking like:

You say, '&((afkscript-check alarm=1 goto logout)]] =put quit."

>quit

Connection to the game has been dropped.

Must show proof. Like a 30+ day ban or something.

Do you have lich? Do you use ;go2? Congrats, you script!

No and no.

[Haldrik]

People were scripting long before Lich. People kill people. Not guns. Jeeze.

[Wrathbringer]

Yeah, but "people ruined gemstone" doesn't quite ring the same.

[Haldrik]

Yeah, but "people ruined gemstone" doesn't quite ring the same.

I'd counter that Lich saved Gemstone. Because I guarantee no one would be playing if it was still manual. Or, if 10 people were playing then Simu would have shut the game down a long time ago.

[Candor]

Heck I still use the Wizard FE. I'm not the only one to do so, but I admit I'm part of a fairly rare breed these days.

I have never...and I mean never...scripted. I do go AFK while my characters are resting/healing, but beyond that I never leave the screen and manually type everything.

Yes I still live in 1998. What's your point?

If you only hunt and AFK while you are resting/healing, then you might a well be scripting because you bring no interaction to the game.

So, script away sir, your impact on the game is meaningless.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said I only hunted. And I should have I sometimes go AFK when my characters are resting, sometimes I don't.

Now stop mincing my words and go impact the game.

Why the fuck would you be resting/healing if weren't just "hunting." That's like saying, "I went out during the day to buy a soda." And I said "Oh the fucking sun is yellow. And then you were like "I never said the sun was yellow."

Maybe there is a statute of limitations on debt collection. Just deactivate for years and poof, debt erased.
