Ive noticed a few people complaining about vultures and people not taking the proper steps when rescuing and whatnot. So i thought id post a question.

What should i do/not do in order to not piss people off when i want to rescue them.

Here is what i do now when im rescuing someone.

Locate, then fog to em.
minor sant if needed.
LK them, and i dont ask if they want it. I figure if they are still there after i locate and then fog they want a rescue and LK isnt uncalled for.
Next i ask if they need some help, and if theyd like a fog.
If they say yes, i grab em, ask if anyone else in the room wants to go with us, then fog back.
Next, i drag em to a healer. (ive noticed i dont really take into consideration the wants of the corpse, once youve said you do want me to rescue you, your my responsibility, and im ganna get you an empath, i never ask if there are peticular empaths, or races they dont want healed from.)
Sit until they are healed.
When they are ready i WOL, then raise. (ill note that i dont go through any pre-raise hoopla. My cleric is half dark elf, and he doesnt accept the fact that hes actually half human, so he doesnt feel his abilities are god given, just another expression of manna. So no need to pray, or bestow "the graces of some god")
After they are back up, i wait for a tip that i will most likely decline. (Unless its particularly nice, like a neat trinket, or something that goes with my character. Oh and if someone tries to tip me with a toy of some sort, or food, i always accept.)
Then im done and we part ways. Maybe ill ask if they need some spiritual spells before they run off.

So, anything about this wrong? should i add steps or take out steps in order to please more people?
What do you folks think?

Vuuuulture.

All I care about is that people ask me if I want help, and don't force it on me.

When doing rescues, I ask for explicit permission to help them, because my cleric is allied to a dark god, and a lot of people get pissy about it.

That sounds good an all, but im not that kinda guy. I dont just raise for exp, i raise cause its fun, and i like helping folks out. And just raising them with no reguard of their wishes kinda goes against the main reason i do it, to make friends. Also if i piss everyone off, i wont have anyone to go raise anymore.

Being aligned to Andelas, I started asking if people mind being raised by a Nalfein follower...after a while it started feeling silly because I've never met any of those OOOO TOO goody two shoes.

You sound like your being more helpful than you need to be at the end of it all, heh. If I notice its some kind of spiritual caster I'll try to send some mana if they're Col'ers. So they can get the amunet back and running.

If they don't like it, they can unlink.
