#55398, "Today's Karma PSA:"


          

If you are, say, a necromancer who chose a name that would make it nigh-impossible to attack you in the heat of PK while standing next to any number of summonable mobs from Akan, Mortorn, etc?

Even if you're subsequently forcibly renamed, you don't get to bitch about other players being unsportsmanlike assbags. You're at least as big of one as any of them.

Since we're being a drama queen about it elsewhere, let's examine your last week's worth of deaths (during which you didn't level, level sitter!) in detail. I'll highlight the PK deaths in red.

Friday:
PKed by level 40 conjurer.
Two hours later, PKed by Outlander warrior.
Much later, killed by High Lord's Keep elite guard.

Then in our Tuesday night - Wednesday morning session:
Killed by Wedirin the Paladin (NPC).
Killed by a lower level necromancer.
Killed by an assassin. Now, this was right after you unghosted, but you started that fight.
Killed by a greater jaette watchman.
Killed by a greater jaette watchman.
Killed by a greater jaette watchman. Those are all in about a minute. Why you kept attacking it is anyone's guess.
Killed by yourself by casting armor of living bone. This is right after the greater jaette deaths. Oops!
Killed by druid. Nice little call lightning kill.
Killed by ourselves with armor of living bone again shortly thereafter. Will we never learn?
Killed by ourselves by casting vampiric touch on ourselves eleven minutes later. Why? Who knows.
Killed by a jaette watchman a minute after that. Why are we attacking them as a ghost? Hell if I know.
Then we do that again.
Killed by the sewers red dragon sixteen minutes later.
Killed by ourselves with armor of living bone again immediately after that. Might want to lose that trigger!
Killed by ourselves by casting chill touch on ourselves for some reason three minutes after that.
Killed by ourselves with armor of living bone again immediately after that.
Killed by Consortium apprentice mage half an hour later.
Killed by elite dwarven guard twenty minutes later. Oh, the irony!
Killed by elite dwarven guard again five minutes later.

Which brings us to this morning's session, at which point:
Killed by the same druid.

At this point, it's 30 RL hours later, and it's also roughly 2 full hours of playtime since your last death. You definitely did not "just unghost."

Ultimately, you were repeatedly killed by an assbag. It's just that that assbag happens to be you.

That's not including the pray tantrums, tantrums directed at staff, etc. Thus far you've been treated with kid gloves because we could tell you obviously had very little experience, but you forfeit that courtesy after you show us that you're not capable of being a decent player.

And of course, as per Hammurabi's Immutable Assbag Code, the Assbag in question has to go off on a long rant about how it's everyone else that will cause new players to not try CF.

Hint: People are much more offended by immature ranting hypocrites than they are about being killed two days apart by the same character in fair fights.

Second Hint: While we're of course interested in retaining players wherever practical, this will not extend to breaking our rules. The guy who logged on his Tribunal on Wednesday for the first time in a couple of weeks, flagged his whole range, and deleted? Hammer came down hard. Expect the same if you return and continue down the path you've chosen for yourself.

Being the conjurer in question, he didn't go nuts on me when I killed him despite it being a cheap nightgaunt-to-cursed-maze kill.

I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that. Just...wow.

Word on the street is that this is a traded/shared character, with a certain veteran player stepping in at times.

Oh, the cheating and scandal! Unfortunately, it appears that the truth is both more simple and more sad. From a cursory examination of the logs, it appears very likely that only one player actually played this character. The conclusion I draw is that aforementioned veteran player, in fact, played the character all the way through and is now trying to distance themselves from the ####storm of shame that followed.

Tres sad.

A while ago, I named my 2004 CF fantasy football team "______'s Girlfriend", after said player played a notably inept character, and blamed all the ineptitude on his girlfriend, who allegedly played the character most of the time. Said girlfriend seemed to have suspiciously similar grammar and spelling to said "veteran" player, displayed the same OCD behavior with respect to skill spam, mysterious variables, the luck stat, etc.

The idea was that if my team tanked, I could blame it on the fact that ______'s girlfriend drafted and traded for me.

What can I say? I learnt from the best. However I still don't understand the nigh-impossible to summon with a character name of Vizie.

I'd be quite angry too if I'd been PK'ed by armor of living bone four+ times.

Vizie wasn't the original name; that would be Dwar.

It's not impossible to summon; it's very very to target with, let's say, dirt kick.
