I don't keep logs, so you'll have to trust me.
I'm goofing around in game Monday with a friend in River's Rest, wiping out a warcamp. Someone dies, we get the corpse back to the town center, there are a bunch of people sitting around chatting. Ask if a cleric is about, no answer, ask the directions to the town cleric, get a couple of wise ass remarks, but still no answer. Fine, we decide to drag the corpse around to likely places on our own.
I comment out loud 'I hate the people in River's Rest" just as the leader pulls a U turn and heads back to the center. Oops, it's not really my "characters" feelings, but I said it out loud in a group, so it's part of the game now, and let's roll with it. We get in a fun little argument and I call them all a bunch of inbreds, and state there's no point in being polite to them because I've never gotten a raise in RR anyway. How can it get worse? (It's true, I once spent and hour chatting with people in RR, walked off, died, and decayed without so much as a locate. But this isn't a complaint against the River's Rest people.) All in all it was a nice little roleplaying moment.
I'm in the middle of a large group hunt with friends last night, and ended up having the following psinet chat with. It's from memory, so this is just the general gist of it.
Arachnegirl: You're capped and warcamping in RR? I thought Pogy was nice.
Me: Huh? Yeah, I stopped by to help a friend do warcamps, and Pogy generally is nice.
Arachnegirl: You burned all the warcamps near the citadel the the low level people rely on.
Me: We wiped out one camp of 500, that's hardly newbie fodder. There are a ton of camps, and more will generate. What's your point?
Arachnegirl: Oh, sometimes two of us get together to clear camps.
Me: I don't understand what your point is?
Arachnegirl: I remember Pogy from Solhaven, she used to be nice. We risk death when we try to get to the camps in the moors. Why are you so mean? You used to be so nice.
Me: This has nothing to do with nice or mean, it's just a warcamp in a silly game. There will be more. This conversation is over.
Arachnegirl: Ranty rant rant you are so selfish and mean and hateful and a jerk just like your selfish mean hateful rant rant rant.
Random commentary added by me:
- I thought initially she was wondering why Pogy was mean with the inbred comments, but NO, it's about a freaking war camp! A war camp? Really? A war camp? (To paraphrase Iverson)
- Try not to mix OOC with IC. Pogy was bratty in the town center, but hunting a stupid camp is neither mean nor thoughtless IC or OOC.
- I switched to GOS last week after I hit cap a month ago.
- My character may be capped, but sucks hunting mechanically with limited sigils, and a pure locksmith training plan. I got the chance to hunt with an empath and a bard. Sweet!
- War camps are renewable resources.
- Clearly you had staked your claim to this camp by knocking it down from 500 to ... 500.
- Apparently two level 20 characters warcamping is more virtuous than three level 90-100 characters from an OOC standpoint?
- My camping in a ghost town like RR, is safer for weaker characters overall. Around the landing, I constantly dash out of camps the second I see a non guard grim.
- My RP of this character hasn't changed much since level 1. If anything she's more nervous, and afraid of the tall people's world than ever.
- In character, you suck. Sunfisters are sworn to destroy Grim, your character should be pleased.
- Who the hell names a character Arachn-whatever and then role plays a cheerful helpful persona? It's a game, try to stay true to your initial vision of your character. Don't roll up an edgy spider priestess name and then be the nicey police.
- Your gaming experience , your time, and that of your friends, is no more valuable than mine.
- Your ranting through chat was mean and selfish, it interrupted a group roleplaying activity. If you want to rag on me some more, do it here.
- Stop being such a hypocrite control freak and just enjoy the game.
- Yes, Now I'm being an asshole.
