#72787, "I agree, but it was not well-handled"
|
Though I don't know exactly what he said. Except with 4 players online with you, maybe you can probably assume an Imm may be watching you, since I think Imms know anytime someone dies and he had been warned before. So maybe the Imm felt it was directed generally at them, who knows.
I've certainly yelled at my laptop or cursed out loud from playing CF in the past. But typing it in as a say, I'm not sure I see the point. If it is in game, that is to convey what my character would do, not me the player. However, when you consider it, expletives are a completely valid part of CF and RP.
For me personally, I am pretty sure CF is meant for adults, not children. Adults swear and can handle other people swearing. Words are not inherently bad, and the whole concept of being punished for using certain ones is a little ridiculous.
If I say M****** F***** BS when my char dies, who cares? If I say fargin sweaty arse svirf testicles! instead, would I get Imm XP for RP?
Reality is, most people will probably let a few colorful expletives fly in situations that piss them off. Why would a dark elf (I think he was one?) be any different? Say he just got ganged down by three paladins. He's going to vow to himself to find and torture each one of those <insert favorite expletive laced name for paladins>, and then <insert other unspeakable profanity laden acts> their entire family. Because he's an evil sadistic drow, and that's what they do. What they would not say is "That was well fought, good job on besting me!"
Frustration at death is RP and if anything should be encouraged, not punished.
So really, he got punished only for the manner of his character voicing his frustrations. I am really hoping he said things like **** CF and Umiron for designing this BS game. Though Umiron as a god can rightfully be used as a target of rage, though he might just hear you and smite the ever loving #### out of you for it. Cause you know, he's a god in Thera. Carrion fields can be a colorful name for Thera given the daily amount of death and destruction that is sown in Thera, and to a drow life is nothing but a game. There, all fit neatly into RP and IC.
But if he just died and went on a nonsensical expletive filled rant? Congrats. He just RP'd and you punished him for it. Or he broke char, and you enforced the breaking RP on him. But then I suppose you'd also have to punish people for all the other inane things people do and say in CF that breaks RP.
I'd say the Imm should have just vis'd and beat him into oblivion for it. Slay purge is just so OOC, it's as bad as the offending behavior. The Imm should bring him back into the IC fold with a good old fashioned RP session that still ends with him dying. Player probably would have responded about how awesome that was instead of swearing off CF. Still lost a con, he gets the point, and both of you have a little more fun with the thing instead of it being what it was.
Just a thought.
