WHAT THE FUCK, ITZEL

While you're here and we're on the topic, what do you think about Vif/Rocksand/Mecixacvjavhdioha? And why is she still allowed to play?

I remember Vif told me she was a GM once a long time ago. That was a lol moment.

That'll be in the open letter, I assure you.

[Renian]

You think that's "win." That's why you're locked out...

Pretty funny.

Never lose your sense of humor. Especially when it involves LOLcats.

I apologize for not parsing the text of a gigantic log, but he didn't sit there and continue to argue about policy with her? Why would you do that? What good is going to come of it?

This was 100% the GM's fault? You've got to be kidding me.

If you're unhappy with policy on scripting, or the particular GM, fine. But this was a pretty awful way of dealing with it. And without knowing anything, as Andy said, I think it's pretty ridiculous that you're all calling for this girl's head.

I didn't say it was 100% the GM's fault. Notice my "(and going completely by the log)" statement, indicating there may be more to the story. It appears that either one of them could have ended it, the GM by accepting his agreement to stop the scripts pending a talk with feedback (which would have gotten him the same answer), or him shutting his mouth. If it's common GM policy to ban people for stating they're going to talk to feedback about a policy issue, it should be written into the official policy docs.

Regardless, if the GM was going to just ban him and all the accounts he was using over the incident, and not simply because he had an unpleasant demeanor or that he dared to argue with her briefly, why did she offer him a way out without even a warning?

longshot strikes me like the type to let the cop search his car even though there's nothing in it and there's no reason to search.

Sometimes you make the argument because what is being done to you is WRONG, and shouldn't be uncomplained about. When you don't complain, you get Administration officials saying shit like "Well, he had all the opportunity to take this up with those people back then, instead he's just writing this book 3 years later..."

In re: to GS, I cancelled my accts because it was a tedious grind with no variety whatsoever. And that was WITH all my scripts, including spellup scripts from ancillary, MA'd chars (but like Methais, I don't have them set on "auto", I alt+tab them). I couldn't even imagine playing the game without that kind of help, it'd be even more of a pain in the ass.

Well, first off... having players, specifically the group on these boards, go after Vif/Rocksand/Mediawhatever, helps her case more than yours (general yours). Specifically targeting, harassing, griefing a player will get GMs on the target's side faster than your side.

My honest assessment would be to ignore her, and stop trying to get her on petty things by reporting everything she does. If there are serious infractions, then report.

Maybe. I think she wanted my ass from the start.

Yep, that pretty much confirms the GMs are "somewhat" biased against people that post here.

That's totally not what I said.

Par for the course, though.

Renian,

I'm uncertain of how long the time delay was between you being addressed by the GM and the time you responded. If it was less then 60 seconds then this GM is COMPLETELY WRONG to have done what she has done. I don't know if GMs can "check" how long it took you to respond since this is a text based game but perhaps all commands inputed into the game has a time stamp attached to it?

Anyhow, it looks like from the log that you were fully attentive to the screen seeing how the both the bot and the person using the bot was YOU on two different accounts. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Lothwyn,

The rules should be if one of your characters in the room are attentive and the person using the bot is the same account/same IP address then there should be absolutely no problem. Because the person illiciting the response from the bot knows what the bot WILL do and is EXPECTED to do and thus being attentive to both characters. Really, the only reason why this rule exists is to deter players from multi-accounting altogether. If Simu wants to lose money then be me guest.
