#134684, "Not really sure what to say..."


          

I had no idea you had any intent to follow Rahsael or meditate on Loss.

Dhaudeshia was sphere Necromancy, and her role seemed very Emnon-y. She made twelve prays, and all but one of them were utterly OOC. The single IC prayer expressed a general desire for pestilence to spread by the will of the dark gods.

I did watch you quite often. Any necromancer looking at the Becoming is facing down the probability of Loss regardless of the outcome, so I like to drop in on them sometimes. While I watched for an opportunity to approach you IC, I saw a strange mix of stuff. You had some interesting emotes and spoke in tongues. Cool flavor, I thought.

But then there were thinly veiled OOC comments over the cabal channel and in tells.

And then there was the full looting. It isn't against the rules, and sometimes it isn't even a #### move. But in one case that I witnessed, you fought two Battleragers in a graveyard (one of whom you brought into the fight with area spells) and died. Then, after they left you with all of your gear, you complained to them and anyone who would listen for quite a long time and later killed one, fulled his mediocre warrior gear, and put it in the Tribunal pit before logging off.

I saw and heard about other cases, as well. It seemed like a spiteful thing that you did fairly often. At that point, I decided I didn't want to really deal with you. I may have tried to have a discussion with you if I had any inkling you considered yourself a Rahs follower, but I saw absolutely no indication that you were from your role, words or actions.

And then, you threw an absolute fit when the tables were turned and you were full-looted for the first time. You posted the log on Dio's, you sent up multiple angry prayers demanding IMMxp for handling it so well(???).

You are obviously an experienced player who knows his or her way around the MUD's areas and around PK.

My advice to you for future characters would be:

- Explicitly say what you are going for in your role. Corrupt Tribunal? Note that you plan to be one and hang on for as long as possible. You might even get a little bit of extra leniency from the immortals so this plays out. Following a god? Let that god know!

- Stop with the thinly veiled OOC comments and OOC prayers. Yes, immortals tend to reward their favorite characters. Those characters become their favorite by excelling in some aspect of the game, usually RP. You had the potential for a really fun and interesting character here, and you squandered it by allowing your anger to take the wheel.

Know why you weren't my favorite? It was because when I watched you, I saw you claiming there was an IMM conspiracy against you, that you never got enough rewards, and some occasional full-looting of quality characters that made me sad.

- Try to keep other peoples' fun in mind. This is a game, after all.

- Finally, I'd ask you to apply the positive and thoughtful personality that you used to write this goodbye note to your characters. From my vantage, the positive and hopeful Dhaudeshia goodbye-note-writer and the often ####ish, whiny Dhaudeshia player seem like polar opposites. I love one and can't stand the other.

I think you have the skills to bring a lot of fun to this game. Here's hoping your next character is utterly unrecognizable.
