Spoken to with major disrespect by a GM · on 1/12/2005 3:13:34 AM 15703



Well this seems to be the folder to get a response from a GM so I assume this is the best place to voice my concerns.

Today a lot of "Crap" for lack of a better word happened. From my understanding nobody was warned, but a lot of people were upset from everything that happened.

What I'm having a problem swallowing is the way I was spoken to by a GM who came to put an end to the mess. I understand if she's frustrated, but this could have been handled much better.

I wouldn't think too many customers would appreciate being told to Shut up when asking that a completely OOC conversation is taken to whispers. Even if the conversation was acceptable in public, that type of response was not necessary. After making her rude statement to me, Kyalia pulled the other character involved. (So why make the comment to me?)

I was also pulled after the other character returned, and I was threatened with a lockout (With no previous warnings) if I spoke to the other character. I honestly feel like I'm the victim in the circumstances that happened today, and I feel that Kyalia was taking things out on me, which was not necessary. Is this acceptable behavior for a GM?

The area where you named Kyalia. I noticed that you didn't use the other names, so why keep Kyalia's name in there?

I figured someone would ask ... Aside from reporting about the situation that took place today, there was nothing else I said or did. I would assume a GM should not be upset that someone reports when others are attacking that player, or when another player makes OOC comments in public, or uses vulgarity such as "faggot." -> Another players words which I'm not really happy to repeat.

So yes, there was more to the story, but I don't think that it was still called for.

Kyalia gestures and a shaft of scintillating light from somewhere above pierces the ceiling and engulfs her. When the light recedes Kyalia is no longer there.

Stop posting stuff you know will get pulled?

[TheRoseLady]

I noticed you edited your other thread to remove the part where she said she was watching you all day. Way to try and make yourself look innocent.

I thought just about everyone knew that you can't post logs on the official boards of GM interactions and expect them to stay. There's no way to prove they aren't doctored, nor is that a good business policy to allow things that can be made to look unflattering about GMs to hang around on the boards, use feedback.

Man that's a great smiley.

Boo-frickety-hoo.
