(PRELUDE)
I was in a sanctuary on plane 3, minding my own business - doing some shit around the house actually. I sit down to get ready to hunt and I see this immediately...

> * The death cry of Pulsegiver echoes in your mind!

(And so the following ensues...)

You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Locate Person spell...
Your spell is ready.

You gesture into the air.
Your vision begins to become murky and clouded. You have a sensation of rapidly passing distance. Eventually your sight begins to clear and a vision of Pulsegiver's surroundings fills your mind...

[The Rift]
A cold, grey mist swirls around you, making it difficult to gain any sense of what is here. Through the haze a huge, gnarled hand stretches upward reaching grimly for something past your vision. As you move closer, it turns out to be only a dead tree, the bent and gnarled limbs twisting toward a blood eagle hovering just out of reach. You also see a vexed forest spirit that is flying around.
Also here: the body of Pulsegiver who is lying down
Obvious exits: east
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
(Forcing stance down to guarded)

(I exit my 220 and look... how fortunate...)

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

You puzzle over Pulsegiver.

You see Pulsegiver Ravenscorn the Soul Keeper.
She appears to be a Giantman of the Vaikalimara Clan.
She is very tall and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has silver-flecked violet eyes and tanned skin. She has waist length, ringleted blue-black hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by some ruby and gold filigree hairsticks. She has dimpled cheeks.
She has a tattooed symbol of Lorminstra on her arm, a frothing troll king tattoo on her neck, some twisted black rings etched with Lorminstran symbols in her left eyebrow, and a thin black silver-streaked shard in her lip.
She appears to be DEAD!
She has a fractured and bleeding left hand, minor cuts and bruises on her chest, deep gashes and serious bleeding from her back, a case of uncontrollable convulsions, and a completely severed left arm.
She has a black-and-blue left eye, and a black-and-blue right eye.
She is bleeding from the left arm, and slightly from the back.
She is holding a glaes-swept faewood runestaff capped with a spiked orb in her right hand.
She is wearing a glyph-etched silver headband, some faceted black diamond prayerbeads, a cobweb-covered dark blue spidersilk cloak edged with silver velvet trim, a grey-spotted owl feather quill tucked behind one ear, a carved star emerald buckle, a translucent glaes spider charm, a butterfly charm, a delicate white gold rose pin, a blue black glaesine orb, some steel-rimmed spectacles, a mithglin-bound spidersilk Adventurer's Guild badge, a pearl-inlaid elegant black thigh-sheath, some soft black leather gloves, an opaline snowball pin, a mossbark long bow slung over her shoulder, a back quiver, a loose-fitting white cotton shirt with cut-away cuffs, a set of giant battle armor, a topaz-inset silver bracelet, a black ora bracelet, a thin silver-link waistchain, a veniom-worked black silk gem pouch, a gold-threaded silvery hip satchel, a tightly woven spidersilk sack, a pair of slim white spidersilk pants, a hammered gold ankle cuff, and some knitted black and silver stockings under some tall white leather knee boots with thin buckled straps.
>app pulse
You glance at Pulsegiver and immediately realize she has 0 spirit levels out of a maximum of 10, and is not currently preserved.
You also notice that she has a completely severed left arm, a fractured and bleeding left hand, minor cuts and bruises on her chest, deep gashes and serious bleeding from her back, and a case of uncontrollable convulsions.
She has a black-and-blue right eye and a black-and-blue left eye.
She is bleeding from the left arm and slightly from the back.
She is also quite dead.

A n'ecare swings a wickedly curved falchion at you!

Speaking to Pulsegiver, you say, "That is inconvenient."

A n'ecare hurls itself at you and connects!
A n'ecare pins you to the ground!

Roundtime: 3 sec.

( LUCKY ME :-) )

The ghostly voice of Pulsegiver softly says, "Not so much."


The air begins to thin rapidly.

Air is sucked away from a n'ecare!
... 20 points of damage!
Throat swells to near bursting!
Air is sucked away from you!
... 1 point of damage!
Veins in neck stand out briefly!

A n'ecare stands up slowly.

You ask, "No?"


You stand back up.

You are now in a defensive stance.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

The ghostly voice of Pulsegiver softly says, "No."

[Pawnshop, Porch]
Several tables line the porch, offering Bumblefinger's odds and ends to passing adventurers. A sleepy-eyed halfling leans against the pawnshop door, keeping one eye trained on the tables at all times. You also see a heavy wood door, some white stairs, an armor table with some stuff on it, a magic table with some stuff on it, a miscellaneous table with some stuff on it and a weapon table with some stuff on it.

Pulsegiver just left.


(And then I lol'd and walked away)

Dunno if it's the same Pulsegiver or not, but she was always really pleasant and a good friend IG. This doesn't sound like her, but it could be, I suppose.

Pulsegiver has always been cool and nice to me. Maybe just a bad day (or possibly the character was sold).

Twat, or not? 08-24-2009 02:13 PM try posting a log that makes sense -Aller

Yay! My first ever neg rep where the person credited themselves. Props Aller. I'm gonna give you some positive rep for that :-)

Secondly. Why exactly doesn't my log make sense?

Why does she start with not so much? Did you ask if she wanted help, try to grab her hand, whatever?

Just seems to be a slight gap there that I'm missing.

This.

I'm guessing the reason the OP thinks she is a "twat" is because she got disconnected... but that's merely a guess.

looks like the only real inconvenience to you was coming out of your major sanct. If you got voided, sucks for you for not peering. You posted nothing that made her deserve the Twat title.

didn't call her a twat. he asked a question.

WRoss
08-24-2009, 03:52 PM
I've known her quite a while. She's usually really nice. I do sometimes think that someone else plays her. Everyone once in a while she is just really quiet and keeps to herself. Who knows?

RelentlessJew
08-24-2009, 04:15 PM
Anticore - I started with... Speaking to Pulsegiver, you say, "That is inconvenient."

Which was a 2fold statement. One, my character is a cleric and his roleplay currently makes him wish not to raise the dead unless it's extremely inconvenient not to. Two, she was dead, and being dead is often inconvenient, even for a cleric who can cast 350. To further expound, she had several injures which would have made her unable to cast, even if she did/could use 350 on herself. Improper use of 350 in the rift is just getting yourself killed again.

Parkbandit - She didn't get disconnected (well I guess she could have, but I doubt it). I came back and waited there for about 10-15 minutes actually.

Allereli - congratulations on totally not answering my question. To clarify something that you seem to be confused about - you can't peer out of a major sanctuary in the rift. Also, I'm obviously not worried about being voided...

Air is sucked away from you!
... 1 point of damage!
Veins in neck stand out briefly!

I :lol: at it.

Nocturnalrob - EXACTLY. I personally got the feeling she was just being pissy, but maybe someone who KNOWS her can point me in a different direction, which several people have tried to.

Emotion is difficult to convey through text, and can often be misleading. Thanks for being defensive and irrational on her behalf Allereli. I'm sure she appreciates it :-)

If you didn't think she were a twat, or being twatish, you wouldn't have felt a need to come down to the boards and post anything, or you would have excluded names, and not posted in the nuisances and annoyances folder, with the word "twat" in the subject.

Allereli... you're working awfully hard at getting your own 'twat or not' thread. Why don't you shake the sand out of your vagina. Step back. Take a deep breath. Detatch your emotions from your keyboard and monitor. Then go take a midol and drink a beer. Get laid. Come back. Then smile and realize your emotional involvement is your own choice.

Asha

One, my character is a cleric and his roleplay currently makes him wish not to raise the dead unless it's extremely inconvenient not to.So then why did you go out there?


I personally got the feeling she was just being pissy, but maybe someone who KNOWS her can point me in a different direction, which several people have tried to. There were exactly two things that this character said. "Not so much" and "No". Where is the pissiness? Maybe sarcasm with the "not so much", but still not worthy of a twat characterization.


Emotion is difficult to convey through text, and can often be misleading. Thanks for being defensive and irrational on her behalf Allereli. I'm sure she appreciates it :-)And yet you're the one who took the time to come here, post a log which didn't make any sense off the bat, and called the thread "Twat or Not". You had already made up your mind or those wouldn't have been the options.

Allereli's always put his name on his neg reps to me. Mad props. A lot better than a random "fuck you" and nothing else.

RelentlessJew
08-24-2009, 04:57 PM
Mostly, Crystaltears, because even though my character isn't very nice nor does he have the desire to raise, I personally will still try to help someone out who's dead in the rift. It sucks, if you've never experienced it. I think of it as 'paying it forward'. I'd sure hope someone will come drag my corpse out of the rift too. I like to at least extend the same courtesy.

Getting a 'no' and then logging out in my face is pretty rude. Does it make her a twat? I don't really know, nor do I care. The point of this thread was to see if other people had similarly twattish impressions of the alleged twat in question.

Nice spin, Allereli. You should be in politics :lol:

Yep, Elcid, and I even went and gave her some positive rep for it just like I said.

I'm a jew of my word, whether you like or dislike me. It's called ethics.

Something many of you heathen amercians know little about these days.... JYHAD!!!!

Also, we clearly need some more Billy Crystal movies... you people have no sense of jewish humor.

The point of this thread was to see if other people had similarly twattish impressions of the alleged twat in question.And I think this is where you lost me again. You're assuming that she just logged off and not giving the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having connection issues the whole time which is why she died? Maybe I'm just a half-full kind of gal to not assume someone was being mean and move onto calling her a twat without knowing for sure. :shrug:

To clarify something that you seem to be confused about - you can't peer out of a major sanctuary in the rift.Have you bugged that or posted about it? Any idea why you can't in the rift but can everywhere else?

As to the situation...

I think you're reading too much into it.

When I get frustrated.. I'd probably be prone to just logging out pissed off instead of staying in at that moment. I dunno.

There's a difference between doing something assholish in character ("No I will not accept aide from a giantman lummox such as thee! Hark!")

And as a player, not paying attention at all to the situation then just basically telling someone to piss off and slamming.

I'm not saying that's necessarily what the alleged twat-in-question was doing, but just saying.

Pulsegiver has never displayed any behavior in my presence to make me believe that she is an annoyance or nuisance. She may have a twat but I would never catorgorize her as one.
