Snowdrop was hauled into the consultation lounge yesterday regarding her running battle with snerty Rarr and her weird family.
She was informed that her rate of killing (the GM called them murders, which I would disagree with) was unacceptable for the game - 22 killings in a 90 day period (and that isnt a patch on some folks :whistle: )
When you look at the fact though, that 10 of the killings were of Alcoven, Lymbo and Rarr, all, I believe, the same player, all of which were in response to his stupid attempts to kill Snowy (two logs posted in my other threads), it doesnt seem so bad. I have been very careful not to make this a PvP situation and ensured that the only interaction I had with any of his characters was in response to something he did or said. It is crap that Snowy is read the riot act.
In fact, I can think of only two of the killings that Snowdrop has done that havent been in response to her being attacked and or killed first, so calling them murders is a little harsh. Furthermore, some were under duelling conditions (loosely speaking) i.e. consenting conflict, so I think it is shit that they sit in judgement in the way that they have.
What grates with me is that if they want this to be a game without characters killing each other, which is more or less what the GM said yesterday, then they should fix the mechanics that way. All the while it can happen (and I think it should be able to, with protectors from abuse), it will be a part of the game, so...GM's, make up your mind, should people be able to attack each other or not? If so, then stop jumping in unless people are complaining about being harassed or abused. If not, go watch the boulder from time to time and see what happens there, jump in each and every time a character attacks another character, and change the mechanics so people understand that you dont like people fighting. In other words be consistent.
Furthermore, if the systems in the game were able to deal with some of the problems that characters encountered, there would be less of a problem. Rarr/Alcoven/Lymbo have all made blanket accusations to the constable about Snowdrop, mostly for no reason. One such accusation was stealing, for which Snowdrop was arrested and fined (she has never stolen anything). Yet when characters have attacked Snowy and she has tried to report it, it has NEVER been listened to by the constable - R/A/L, being three such characters, a high level character in Illistim dismembering Snowdrop on the dais, "Sorry Snowdrop, there's not enough to go on against ********". Is it that difficult to believe then, RP-wise that someone would take the law into their own hands and try to seek vengeance for whats been done to them. Certainly not snowdrop who has been taught to believe in vengeance quite strongly by her father, who has encouraged her to align to the Huntress.
I refuse to use the assist/report verbs to roleplay conflict in all but the most extreme conditions (i.e. a 100 trained character incessantly abusing my character). While some people wont like the way I do it, I have tried to roleplay it. More than you can say for the schmucks Snowy has been dispatching.
If Snowdrop was vastly better trained than Rarr/Alcoven/Lymbo and picking on him, then I could understand the GM's getting involved. The ironic thing is, that when this gap in trainings did exist, he was the more powerful. He was the aggressor and no-one from the GM's jumped in then. Of course, that is unless Rarr's player reported yesterday, which would fit in with the snertiness s/he shows in game.
Just to show that Snowy was not just looking to kill Rarr for the sake of it, as enjoyable as it was, I have included a log of the last time she killed Rarr, which was on the boulder, and was only after Rarr attacked Snowy, using other people to help her do so, because thats the spineless piece of shit that both she and the player are.
Note that Snowdrop had every opportunity to attack Rarr and didnt, even after she (Rarr) encouraged her friends to cast ewave twice (failing to knock Snowy out of hiding both times) and it was only when she started dispelling her and telling others to do so, that Snowy shot her. Rarr has, in return, killed Snowdrop twice. Once when someone else bound Snowy first and then yesterday, when she was sat in town, having just been raised (following a glorious killing by Alarke - ) with 4 health points and no spells.
Yeah, Snowy is breaking Policy....bleh!

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Boulder]
The crest of the towering boulder affords a good view of the surrounding countryside. To the north, you see the dense forests of the Lower Dragonsclaw. Looking northeast, the verdant grasslands sprawl down towards the coast. Gazing southward at the slopes, in the distance you see the snow-covered summits of the Dragonsclaw mountain range, shrouded in perpetual mist. You also see a white cat, a wooden arrow and a hawk that is lying down.
Also here: Great Lord Asben, Lord Ericos, Jenovadeath, Great Lord Reminion, Dionisius, Karmon, Lady Rarr, Lord Thore, Glavanor, Dimeare who is lying down, Lord Masthix, Karlite who is lying down, Great Lord Trade, Zimrahn, Rimlin, Varsus

And how many did it take?
My point is, Rarr cast at me so that was clearly consent to conflict.
Furthermore, I have never even seen the others who joined in before, so other than sticking their noses in, how many of them had any cause to jump in?
none
How many of them used the warn assist report route to resolve it?
none
How many were hauled into the consultation lounge?
none.
Be consistent...that whole things sucks and when you let tossers like Alcoven/Rarr/Lymbo attack people with low trains, you have to allow those same people to attack back when they overtake the sad fuck!

>Trade is revealed from hiding.
Trade fires a pure white arrow at you!
AS: +302 vs DS: +119 with AvD: +23 + d100 roll: +67 = +273
... and hits for 86 points of damage!
Shot shatters shoulder and severs right arm!
The air about you stops shimmering.
You become solid again.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
You feel the inner strength leave you.
You are no longer moving silently.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel your extra strength departing.
You no longer feel so dextrous.
The powerful look leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
You feel the aura of confidence leave you.
You return to normal color.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.
...departing in 10 mins...
The pure white arrow sticks in your right arm!
> * Snowdrop just bit the dust!
>The voice of Masthix squeakily says, "Ya'll quit gangin up on snow."
>Alarke chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...
>Dionisius's hands glow with power as he summons elemental energy to his command...
>Trade softly says, "Theer."
Karmon says, "And down goes snowdrop."
And how many did it take?
My point is, Rarr cast at me so that was clearly consent to conflict.
Furthermore, I have never even seen the others who joined in before, so other than sticking their noses in, how many of them had any cause to jump in?
none
How many of them used the warn assist report route to resolve it?
none
How many were hauled into the consultation lounge?
none.
Be consistent...that whole things sucks and when you let tossers like Alcoven/Rarr/Lymbo attack people with low trains, you have to allow those same people to attack back when they overtake the sad fuck!
