I'm sick of MA Groups

[TiredOfMAGroups]

I am getting sick and tired of MA groups coming in and getting their umpteenth alteration.

Weryn, Larenusia, Sacru, Drevihyin, Livn



Maialynn picks 10 people, Livn gets spun and immediately Larenusia passes an item. Don't you have enough alterations already?



>l livn
You see Livn Shinam.
He appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
He is shorter than average and appears to be extremely young. He has predatory feral green eyes and extremely pale skin. He has extremely long, lustrous silver hair pulled back from his face with a glowing black sharp eahnor hair comb. His fingernails have been sharpened to fine points.
He has a claw-marked Nalfein crest tattoo on his wrist, a deep crimson tattooed symbol of Andelas surrounded by a ring of stalking felines on his wrist, and a tattoo of a silver-eared kitten leaving behind a trail of sooty pawprints on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a low wide-brimmed distressed leather hat, a crystal shard cradled by a small petrified selshis, an ebon-veined viridian cloak, a suit of dark claw-marked leathers, a silver-stitched gambeson of heavily quilted ebony fustian, a claw-marked kitten hip-satchel, a mangled leather catnip bag, some multi-pocketed pants, and some large morduska hide boots.



>l wer
You see Weryn Shinam.
He appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
It is difficult to properly see his features as the hood of his cloak is pulled down over his face.
He has a claw-marked Nalfein crest tattoo on his wrist, and a tattoo of a fierce looking large black panther stalking around an intricate symbol of Andelas on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a soot-covered krodera shield in his right hand.
He is wearing a heavy eahnor-detailed full helm, an eahnor-cradled shard, a deeply hooded elven cloak, a set of dark claw-marked leathers, a claw-marked leather catnip bag, a chewed leather hip-satchel, some many-pocketed black linen pants, and some large morduska hide boots.



>l laren
You see Larenusia.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She is taller than average and appears to be young. She has piercing jade green eyes and tanned skin. She has long, raven black hair with a pair of elegantly curved horns protruding from amid the glossy curls. She has a delicate face and sharp pointed ears.
She has an intricate black lotus tattoo on the back of her neck with lush petals falling away in a cascade across each of her shoulders.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a shimmering soft pink silk nightshirt in her right hand.
She is wearing an eahnor-cradled shard, a blue spidersilk cloak, an ahmdir blue farszig tunic, an eahnor-boned sharkskin corselet, a coraesine-laced bag, an eahnor-pinned sharkskin loincloth, and some dual-tone black leather boots.



>l sac
You see Sacru Shinam.
He appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
It is difficult to properly see his features as the hood of his cloak is pulled down over his face.
He has a claw-marked Nalfein crest tattoo on his wrist, and a tattoo of a trail of stalking felines leading to an elaborate symbol of Andelas on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing an onyx-banded deep brown hat with a narrow brim, a pale crystal shard, a deeply hooded Nalfein style cloak, a braided ebon suede harness buckled with a trio of faenor-eyed silver owls, a veniom bound lacquered back quiver, a form-fitting black bandolier vest, a shadowy black eahnor breastplate, a shredded leather hip-satchel, a large cast iron skillet, an aromatic leather catnip bag, a cracked leather belt loop, some many-pocketed dark linen pants, a coraesine-buckled ankle pouch, and some large morduska hide boots.


>l drev
>
You see Drevihyin.
He appears to be an Elf.
He is taller than average and appears to be very young. He has luminous gold-flecked storm grey eyes and fair skin. He has long, fine golden blonde hair drawn back from the face in a ponytail by a stiffened leather wrap pierced with a wooden dowel. He has an angular face and sharp pointed ears.
He has a silver harp tattoo on his finger, and a spiral tattoo of golden musical notes on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a glowing black golvern katana in his left hand.
He is wearing a shaggy brown goat pin, an amber leather backpack, a crystal shard gripped by a petrified qahzumar tentacle, a hooded black leather cloak, some golvern-edged chainmail, a veniom bound lacquered sheath, a slender leather bag clasped with a despanal-set buckle, a lumpy frog-shaped satchel, some grey spidersilk pants drawn at the waist with an iridescent spidersilk cord, and some large selshis skin boots.

[RichardCranium]

They're paying, they're entitled.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

There is no such thing as 'enough' for a Nalfein!


But seriously, why don't you tell us how you feel about MA'ing, I can't really figure out your stance on it.

[Anebriated]

Is this a hate post? OP have something against the Nalfein people?

[Shimeria]

Its not like they ALL got picked, just one did and everyone knows that a lot of players do it. If they didn't allow you to have more than one account per person I'm sure it would be a big hit to Simu and who knows how long Gemstone would last...

[pabstblueribbon]

I have 2 chars to ma with. Wizard pally goodness. The 5 and 6 man groups are annoying when trying to hunt an area though.

Although, I really don't give a fuck about merchants or alterations.

[Cephalopod]

Is this like that group of 10 housewives that all logged in for each other to get alters?

[Shimeria]

Nachos I Love your Daffy Duck, too funny!

[Stunseed]

Is this a hate post? OP have something against the Nalfein people?

No, I'm betting it's Inspire who got his and his fist-wife's ass raped by that crew, who's controlled by someone who is a good guy and not a douchebag like he is. Instead of sacking up and calling him out to be a hypocrite, he's made another account.

If it isn't, then that person obviously hasn't played Gemstone for the last 5 years when MA crews have done the same thing but much worse. Either way, it's nothing short of moronic.

[Buckwheet]

Its okay that you hate MA groups. I just ask that you PM your in game names so that I can hate you too by not saving you if you are dead in an area I frequent.

It also helps so that when we sell off complete sets of items as our teams graduate to new armor or weapons we know not to sell them to you.

I also wanted to point out that I believe the player you are bitching about gave away four event works that I know of at the festival and it could be as high as six.

So just log back in as your previous username and let us know who you are so we can just agree to hate each other.

And this.

a lumpy frog-shaped satchel...NOOOOOOO

[Shimeria]

I like your frog satchel!

[Gnomad]

Way to make an anonymous account to cry about it.

[RawR]

How come every post Stunseed does involves Inspire?

It's like man-love or something.

[Fallen]

MA Groups: Welcome to Gemstone.

Fuck, without MAing, GS would probably be dead.

[Elvenlady]

I also wanted to point out that I believe the player you are bitching about gave away four event works that I know of at the festival and it could be as high as six.

Also gives others a heads up where and when merchants are working and will gladly drag you along.

[Kitsun]

My money is on it being Inspire. It is in retaliation for making him kill a member of his own MA team.

He's doing so because he's being a hypocrite. He's tried posting about me on the officials only to have everyone tell him he's a tool. He even deleted his own post because he realized just how silly he looked. His reputation is such shit that he feels it is better to post as an anonymous nobody than post as he really is.


a lumpy frog-shaped satchel...NOOOOOOO

Sorry?

[Deathravin]

OP:

Sorry, what was that? All I heard was "Waaah"

[Methais]

Alterations are serious shit guys.

I don't care about your post I just like your avatar.

[TiredOfMAGroups]

It's very clear that MA groups harm the game. It's disgusting! Simutronics needs to ban MA groups.

This is a family-oriented roleplaying game.

If you want to MA, do it privately away from festivals where people WITHOUT tons of alterations can actually have a chance to get some.

[Miscast]

Where do I get one of those neat cloaks?

[Drunken Durfin]

Why is it considered bad when one person MA's four characters but good when four individual people get together in a hunting group?

[RawR]

I think the point is, when someone comes in with 12 characters and there are only 25 people there the odds of getting picked numerous amounts of times is obviously greatly increased. But really who cares, alterations don't mean shit. I could understand if it was for something good like padding or some shit.

[Danical]

lulz. What's a merchant?

I've only accidentally stumbled on two in the 209348023840923 years I've been playing.

But, more to the point, if the player is paying for the accounts then the player deserves it.

Isn't there a standing rule that disallows characters to pass items to the winner in their group thus preventing at least the item hoarding MA groups can abuse. I may have made that up.

[RawR]

And second note, I could find this to be troublesome if "New" people or "Comebacks" return to the game and go to the fest to find that the same 12 (just using this number, I'm not at the fest so I have no clue) are at every alter and constantly winning they could just be like WTFZOR fuck this. One person with eighty alters gets picked while the person that's been playing for two months and has nothing has a low chance due to the MA.

That is true, but passing items happens quite often actually. Most merchants just don't give a damn. Oh well what you gonna do, like stated before if they got rid of MA'ing there would only be 50 people playing GS.

I'm sick of MA Groups 05-18-2010 08:51 PM Then why are you posting about it?
Cause I have an opinion too!

Although, retarded gnome bards that don't make any attempt to RP are just as bad, for a roleplaying game. At least they tend to stay away from anyone . . . ever.

[DCSL]

Oh. Please. Waaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Ryvicke]

Sorry?

I think he said this because Drevihyin (PC) is no longer the owner of Drevihyin in game and whereas Drevihyin (PC) sold me an insane load of fucking nice menswear when he quit, Drevihyin (IG) is now wearing a lumpy frog satchel...

That's got to hurt.

[Anebriated]

To be fair I've been back about a month and have stumbled upon 2 random merchants and gotten work done at the festival when said MA group was in the room. They also handed out some work while I was present.

[Izzy]

Oddly enough, the more lottery tickets you buy the better your odds are at winning. Why do you think you deserve an equal chance to win as someone who is paying ~5x as much as you to even be there?

[Buckwheet]

I'm sick of MA Groups 05-19-2010 04:06 AM Useless turd. You ruined Gemstone III and GSIV.

Apparently I am getting more credit than I deserve! All your Gemstone happy funtimes r belong to me.

That made no sense whatsoever. Fuck you for making me read it.

[Shimeria]

Funny that some people are giving me negative reps for just sharing my opinion that Livns' group doesn't bother me. At least I don't hide behind a member name that isn't a character I play or create a new member name just to be a hater.

[m444w]

Kitsun is by far one of the most considerate and responsible of the MAing groups.

[Cephalopod]

^ This.

Which is why it's frustrating that his PC handle is so easy to confuse with 'Kizun'.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Seriously, and he goes out of his way to to spread the word on available merchants so everyone can get a character there for a chance. Not that he even has to do that much- but he does.

[morgothaod]

I think MA stands for mine attack but I'm not sure.

I think by default anyone who hangs with Kitsun, just due to his coolness, is granted said cool for the duration of time they hang.

I hate you and think that MA groups are the downfall of gemstone III. That and people who buy characters. I mean seriously. Where is the joy in that? And you know, while I'm at it, all those hoarders and merchants in game, they really are the ones that make this game horrible. Everyone should aspire to be like those few select very inclusive, merchant whoring, storyline hijacking, great RPers from Solhaven. They are what make gemstone great!

I got some green for my comment LOL.

Well said good sir, everyone knows Solhaven is where the real roleplayers hang out.

If you pay, what's the difference. The only thing out of your list that really bothers me are the storyline hijackers. The same people are the focus of storylines over and over and over again. I can't say I hate it, it's more like annoyance.

I got it. Sarcasm. I guess I wasn't clear.

You're right WROSS. We hear the same whiney arguments over and over again about maers, merchant whores and the such. It's a game. I do get annoyed over the storyline hijackers. I can almost sympathize with the whiney masses then. No matter what people claim, it's not easy breaking into the rp clicks. You need to know the right people (not necessarily GMs) to know where the action is.

But yeah...what?

Negative reppers are morons. MA groups are usually helpful.
