[Ta'Illistim, Hanging Gardens]
Although the floating platform is suspended well above the ground below, it overflows with abundant plant life. The edges of the dais are brimming with delicate white queen's lace, dark lavender, fragrant rosemary and a variety of other colorful flora. Thick grass underfoot provides an enticingly peaceful resting spot. A thin silk canopy is rolled back to permit an unobstructed view of the starry night sky. You also see the Ana disk, a green-eyed white cat that is sitting, some manna bread, a black cat that is sitting, a long-tongued pygmy bat, a large faenor-chased barrel, a richly finished wooden bench with some stuff on it and a glaesine arch.
Also here: Maendal, Querthose, Xaerve, Aenir

Rofl. Panteloons.. haha.

One of my favorite bits of Teeoncy wit.

[Aqueduct]
A side tunnel heads east off the north/south aqueduct. The area is unnervingly quiet. The only sounds are those produced by the lapping of the water against the tunnel sides and those produced by interlopers from outside. Even the lapping, though, is an unnatural consequence of the invasion by those who do not belong here. The area was totally quiet before the intruders arrived, and it will become totally quiet again once they leave. You also see a gremlock, a gnarled being that appears dead, the Dessedemona disk, the Teeoncy disk, a festering taint and a scratched bracelet.
Also here: a stunned Dessedemona, Teeoncy
Obvious exits: north, east, south

You gesture at Teeoncy.
A void rips open in the area, directly above Teeoncy!
Teeoncy is sucked into the void!
Rather abrupt decompression causes Teeoncy to explode!
Billions and billions of tiny bits of flesh shower everything.
Quite severely dead.
* Teeoncy drops dead at your feet!

The glowing specks of energy surrounding Teeoncy suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
Teeoncy seems a bit less imposing.
The light blue glow leaves Teeoncy.
The silvery luminescence fades from around Teeoncy.
The dim aura fades from around Teeoncy.
Everything in the room seemed to stay in place. The void disappears without further incident.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

The Teeoncy disk disintegrates, dropping everything on the ground.

[Things2Come]

I dunno, you look like the idiot there.

Can't wait to hunt next to you.

[TheEschaton]

Teeoncy deserves it and more.

[Artha]

It's funny that she was hunting with Dessedemona. Birds of a feather.

[Elvenlady]

Ugh... I didn't feel like editing the whole log but you get the point. These girls were never hugged when younger... or hugged too much when younger. Either way, need a crapload of attention (good or bad)

I'm pretty new to these boards but having recently finished reading most of the threads here it seems there's a common denominator in most complaint posts over the years, namely Gracy.

[DCSL]

I nominate these two 'tards for Moron of the Night, to be joint winners. It's time for "Look, I'm sexy because I'm a lesbian!" hour.

Foxye just arrived.

You see Lord Liaro the Dissembler.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be very young and average height. He has bloodshot hazel eyes and dark skin. He has shoulder length, unkempt black hair streaked with silver. He has a gaunt face and long pointed ears.
He has a trio of laje rings dangling a black diamond half-moon in the upper ridge of his left ear.
He has old battle scars on his left arm, a mangled left leg, old battle scars on his right hand, developed slurred speech, and old battle scars on his right arm.
He is wearing a royal blue felt captain's hat, a ruby amulet, a spiked black leather collar, a filmy flowing black cloak stitched with faint designs, a tiny black glaes spider, some sparkly gold butterfly wings, an elegant midnight black silk smoking jacket, some ivory ichor-spattered fangs, an ornate rune-embossed staff harness, a coffin-shaped satchel, a crimson rune-stitched backpack, a light leather vest embossed with a viridian pentagram, a pair of black imflass gauntlets, a silver coiled serpent bracer, a gold ring, a rusted wire mesh wand belt, a fang-latched leather scroll tube, a small shadowy black velvet pouch, a gold-clasped crimson leather kit, a pair of slim black silk trousers belted with veniom wire, and some slouched black half-boots.

Oh lord.

[HarmNone]

It's scenes like that that make me wonder why in the hell Simu lets people like this stay around. You've got Teeoncy, Cleara, Gracy...hell, the list is endless. Nobody is going to convince me these people haven't had plenty of complaints lodged against them; yet, they continue and even proliferate. If one gets away with it, others will follow. Get these people the hell out of there, Simu! You might just find that people who got fed up with this kind of nonsense might develop an renewed interest in the game.....

[Asha]

It's scenes like that that make me wonder why in the hell Simu lets people like this stay around.

$ We both know the answer to that one, HN $

[HarmNone]

In all honesty, David, if people didn't have to put up with total idiots like this, many would return. That just might make up for the loss of these few tools. It's a good game if they will just take out the garbage.

[HarmNone]

On a side note, I'd thought about reactivating my mother's empath. She's gotten to where she could play, I think. She wouldn't be as fast as she once was, but she might be able to enjoy the game, at least. I'd thought to reactivate the empath and level her up so mom wouldn't have to do much but roleplay, which is what she loved the most. I've never played an empath, so it would be a challenge for me, but...well, she did love the game and I'd like to see her get that joy back.

[Asha]

That would be awesome. I hope you do come back even if it's just to help out your mother.


In all honesty, David, if people didn't have to put up with total idiots like this, many would return. That just might make up for the loss of these few tools. It's a good game if they will just take out the garbage.

Hmm, I guess they're shooting themselves in the foot then.
Maybe the problem is they have no definate proof people will return once they've got rid of the tools. Espeially since there's more competition now for MMORPGs than ever.
I want them gone too, btw.

[HarmNone]

I think the reason the tools come to GemStone is because they can be really annoying, which is what they want to do. In most of the MMORPGs, there are bigger, badder tools than they are, so they don't stand out. GemStone, being text-based, doesn't attract (or hold) the kind of players that are attracted to MMORPGs, for the most part. There are a few exceptions, but they're generally people looking for both an opportunity to roleplay and an opportunity to engage in open PvP. They like both. These types usually aren't tools in a text-based game (unless they forget where they are ;) ).

The reason I decided against reactivating the account was because of type of thing seen in that ridiculous interchange between two total idiots. I know my mother would hate that, and it's no fun to have to keep running from place to place just to avoid the freaking tools. It's just not worth it.

[Asha]

A real shame. Totally.

[HarmNone]

I agree wholeheartedly, David. When, and if, Simu finally realizes that they are a niche game that appeals to a specific group of people who will be VERY loyal if their needs are met, they might just get something going. However, to show people like me that they have come to this realization, they'll have to start using HMP the way it was designed to be used...to get rid of the assholes. While there are Clearas, and Gracys, and Arionds, and all the rest, it's pretty obvious they haven't reached that conclusion yet.

[StrayRogue]

Yes, but where is the line going to be drawn and who is going to draw/enforce it? I'm sure you're more than aware of how hard it is to determine and idiot/misguided person over the internet.

[HarmNone]

I understand what you're saying, Stray, and I agree for the most part. However, people like Cleara are Reported constantly. Yet, there she is and she hasn't changed anything. Same goes for Gracy. They cause chaos, people complain, nothing is done. It might take a bit of effort from the GMs to watch these people and catch them at their idiocy, but I think it would be worth it in the end. Hell, look at the problems Seany causes, and he returns like the bad penny...again, and again, and again. He's not hard to spot. Get rid of his ass!

[Merzbow]

It's scenes like that that make me wonder why in the hell Simu lets people like this stay around. You've got Teeoncy, Cleara, Gracy...hell, the list is endless.

Get these people the hell out of there, Simu! You might just find that people who got fed up with this kind of nonsense might develop an renewed interest in the game.....

Dunno, after a two-year absence I've found that the number of really disruptive players has gone down significantly. Coinner, Michaelous, Warclaidhm, Dionisius, etc., they are all gone. Could be because Death's Sting has finally put some teeth into dying 30 times in a row. Now if the GMs could simply turn a blind eye to the killing of bad RPs on sight perhaps we could make a dent in the kind of people you're talking about.

[HarmNone]

There was a time when player policing of imbeciles was the norm. Of course, at that time, we didn't have the ratio of idiots to sentient beings we apparently have now. Those bent on griefing learned pretty damned quickly that they wouldn't be tolerated. They either chnaged, or left.

Now, you have to Assist/Report these incidents and hope that somebody will care enough to do something about it. Knowing that the ones who are mentioned regularly here have been Reported many, many times, it's pretty obvious that there's no real consequence to being an ass.

[War Angel]

If the extra $ each month isn't a huge factor, you could always start an emapth in Plat, HarmNone. I haven't encountered anyone that's hard to deal with yet, and with the 3 month free trial, there are a decent amount of people in game usually.
Just a thought, I know some people can't stand Plat, but it's what keeps me a Simu customer, at this point.

If you stay outside the Landing (and I assume Vaalor, haven't been back to EN after my return yet), it's really better.

[Asha]

EN really isn't much better I'm afraid. Icemule's not too bad but you get your idiots who'll talk AS, DS.
Infact i think all my player problems and witnessing of serious griefing ect ect, was in EN.

The extra cost wouldn't be a consideration at all. However, mother was very attached to the character she played. She put a lot into that character, and worked hard to help the character grow into who she was. It would also take me a lot less time to get her existing character (83 or 84 at the time she left before GSIV) up close to cap than it would to get a new character far enough that she wouldn't need to worry about leveling at all. She never cared about levels, but it's important to be able to stay current with your peers if you hope to be able to play off continuous roleplay.

If it were possible to move an existing character to Platinum, I'd really consider it. In fact, I'd probably jump at the chance.

and

(Victorae begs for need of 4 green garnets)

It took everything in my power to not meteor swarm the dais.
Basically the only thing that stopped me was that it likely wouldn't touch him anyway. So I reported him.

[Stunseed]

I'm so glad I went to the Rift when he came to EN. I couldn't stand his dumbass on the Landing blacknet, and he's just as stupid face-to-face.

[Bobmuhthol]

Moron of the day is Drew for having Brees and Addai reserved while keeping Leinart and Washington active. Good job missing out on those 25 points that would give you a commanding lead and a win this week, dude!

[Stunseed]

He went to Germany, and seeing as how he drafted THE BILLS DEFENSE in the second round, he figured he was screwed in our league.

That being said, Alok needs to revamp his team or he's going to be winless.

[Artha]

Reading the start of this thread sure brings back memories. Good times.

[Asha]

I just did the same thing, Artha.
I end up re-reading an entire thread when they're bumped and it's been a while. Good stuff.

[TheEschaton]

I'm fine with being winless in the PC Fantasy league. That way, I can kick all your asses next year when I actually get to draft my own team, and you ain't expecting it!

It is becoming a disease. I say we form a committee to stamp out the disease. First, we can have a meeting to decide what the first meeting should talk about. Then have an In Progress Review (IPR) to see where we are at for the first meeting, to ensure that we are all on track. Next, we can call up some famous people to talk about it publicaly on the news channels and form protest groups.

Or, we can be like Republicans and just blast the shit out of them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone saying, "...". It happens in movies (subtitles), it happens in video games, it happens in comic strips. If you had any intelligence at all, you would realize my character isn't actually saying anything. Your character isn't seeing mine say, "...". YOU, however, the retarded player, can actually see it. It's the same thing as if I would use a verb to express a blank/stunned face.

Ergo, stop being a fucking retard.

[CrystalTears]

Yes because god forbid you not use a video game as a torch for roleplaying How about you ROLEPLAY and ACT out something rather than using an ellipsis. It makes you look like a dork both to the character and the player.

[Liberi Fatali]

Wait, wait, I'm sorry. Do you even PLAY Gemstone anymore? I'll ALWAYS use "..." over a verb that expresses the 'same' thing. Always.

You're similar to people that criticize others for not spelling correctly in the game. If someone says, "My naem is CrystalTears, pealsed too meet yuoe", you'd probably say, "What?" or something similarly stupid. If you were truly in character, how the FUCK would you know he couldn't spell? People like you have ZERO imagination.

[CrystalTears]

Right. Spelling correctly in a TEXT game is so absurd. :lol:

People like you are why I don't play anymore.

You sit there and talk about your Psalms and your John 3:16, well Aus...

Oh. You sit there and talk about how shitty my roleplaying capabilities are, and yet you are precisely what I deemed you as: an unimaginative d-bag. If you were truly 'in character and roleplaying to your hearts content', you wouldn't notice dumbfuck things such as that, chickpea.

[Goretawn]

Although I am not really taking sides, but a misspelling is not as critical IG. If you were to say it out loud, and it sounded the same, then you would hear it the same IG. Everyone has made a keystroke error before. Everyone has been typing faster then they think and may have typed week instead of weak. It sounds the same, so what the hell is the difference. Use it in context, not by it's spelling.

[CrystalTears]

In response to Goretawn, I don't mind the occasional misspelling. It happens and I don't care about that. But I'm not the only one who has problems with people who speak in |337 in the game, or just in a complete mess when there is no need to. It's annoying.

It's like reading a novel and most of it being misspelled. I'll still get the gist of it but it will bother me nevertheless.

Someone talking to me about lack of imagination when he can't even make up his own name and pulls it out of a video game gets ignored after a while.

Impressive that you know where the name Jenovadeath originates from, truly. What the FUCK does my name have to do with the price of tea in China? Stop being so feckin' obtuse. Again, you're picking at OOC things -- this is probably why you don't play Gemstone anymore (see also: you're retarded).

I remember trying to create a character in 1997. I tried every name imaginable that I could think of. NOTHING would work. I looked to the right of me and there sat my Final Fantasy 7 strategy guide. I opened up to the back where the bestiary was and randomly picked a name: Jenovadeath. I did the same thing for my last name: Nattak. Both are bosses in the game FF7, which is how I constructed my name. But again, what the HELL does that have to do with ANYTHING? You're complaining about my ROLEPLAYING, remember? Not my OOC mannerisms. If you looked at the names from an OOC perspective in Gemstone, 80% of the population would be 'ignored', as you stated so cleverly.

Seriously, stop. Just stop.

It's a stupid, uncreative thing to do in a roleplaying game. There are plenty of verbs and actions you could do to portray your character's feelings, other than using punctuation.

Falgrin says, "Period, period, period"

Sounds stupid... and it is.

[TheEschaton]

My naem is CrystalTears, pealsed too meet yuoe

I, at the bare minimum, would not, IC, know what "pealsed" is. I imagine, phonetically, that my character would recognize the other misspellings are, but that one, no. I would never point it out, though, unless it was chronic beyond all belief.

And the point I was trying to make is THINKing "...". Since no one can see your "stunned, blank" face on the fucking thought net.

Isn't Kulbaen a super super super old character?


He was fairly young back when I was playing.

[CrystalTears]

How young? His age was in his 100's (in GS3 when there were ages linked to levels) when I played and that was at least 3 years ago, unless he rerolled recently.

[Artha]

Malok's pretty fucking old too.

[Martaigne]

Character Age != Player Intelligence

[Landrion]

Yeah but if I remember the right guy, Kulbaen's player was pretty respected and ran a useful/informative website. Maybe he sold out or something.

[Martaigne]

Either that or he just doesn't give a shit anymore. Seen a lot of both going around since I got back.

[Artha]

Character Age != Player Intelligence
Oh, I know. If it's the same guy who wrote the sorcerer (?) guide all those years ago, there's even less of an excuse.

[Makkah]

Yea, he is/was a fairly old and respectable character/player. My guess is he sold out.

(log from '98 found via google: http://members.aol.com/Roguespel2/Volume1a/SharKulbaen.html)

[Warriorbird]

He sold out. I remember discussing it.

[Sean of the Thread]

"Old" = respectable? Why is malok such a joke then?

[RichardCranium]

Well to be honest, Drizzdt turned out alright didn't he?

[diethx]

He sold out. I remember discussing it.

Kulbaen did not sell out. I spoke to Derek a few days ago when he first came back. It's definitely the original Kulbaen.

[Warriorbird]

? Well...there was some suggestion of a powerful sorc and a lot of his stuff going at around the time he originally left. I could be wrong. The game does pass people by at times.

[diethx]

? Well...there was some suggestion of a powerful sorc and a lot of his stuff going at around the time he originally left. I could be wrong. The game does pass people by at times.

Yeah, I dunno about all that. I sold my account and went into my on and off playing habits before he quit for good a few years back. I'm 120% positive though that it's him. I think the deal is that he just probably doesn't care. He did say how the game seems pretty crappy now, so that's probably it.
