Can we finally see this role?

Hargath is a giant who hails from the mountains north of Arkham. When he was
young he met a knight while venturing south beyond his mountainous home. This
knight offered to teach him the ways of knighthood in exchange for Hargath
helping him out on his farm. Hargath accepted the offer and after working for
him for a while, the knight began to become suspicious that the local
magicians were meddling with his crops, for the more Hargath worked for him,
the more he grew! The knight, recognizing that his size confered certain
advantages, and aware that he needed to augment the cavalry force of his
order, began training Hargath in the ways of a mounted knight. The only
problem was that the horses had been stricken by a wasting disease by the
local lich. Hargath came up with a great idea for his mentor however, he
would continue jousting, maneuvering and mounted combat training without a
horse. Initially the knight was skeptical, but Hargath showed him just how
equine a cloud giant could be. Greatly please with his progress, but
disappointed that the crops stopped enlarging Hargath, sent him on a quest to
find ones to replace the now seemingly mundance harvest. Hargath agreed, and
he set out on this quest. But he soon forgot what his quest was for and found
it more enjoyable to hit things with sticks.

I don't get it. Is there supposed to be humor here?

Because that was a funny fcking role

because the only thing funny about it is how sad it is that he thought it was funny.

That is just what i needed to read first thing in the morning, especially while stoney. Lol thanks.

AND MAKE IT JUST LIKE THIS

Maybe the "I'm quitting!" tirade was supposed to be HUMOR too?
Something so ridiculous that we're supposed to be laughing at it? :)

The issue is that when you rate a character's initial role with 0 exp, they automatically get an echo saying their role is crappy. I did not know that until I rated this role and this particular player went off.

I mean, anyone can form whatever subjective opinion about this role that they want, but I could not, in all good conscience, give it 500 exp when there are countless other 500 exp that reflect much more legitimate effort and thought to character building than this one. However, although no one will convince me this role was worth any immexp, I wouldn't want to "punish" the guy with a local echo that unnecessarily hurts his feelings by telling him his role is crappy. And honestly, I had no idea how invested he was into this role until I saw his reaction first and second hand. Definitely a depressing moment for me in imm land.

So. Since then I've learned how to give 0 exp without engaging the "crappy" echo, and I've experienced much less angst ... although I'm not sure if those players can determine whether their role was rated :)
