> 1) Your post was clearly intended to slander the roleplaying ability of the other conjurer, as shown by your first few lines, post title, and your attitude within.
I honestly wasn't intending to slander him in any way.. My attitude was only temporarily angered; I posted right after the incident, so I apologize if I really did assassinate him.. I only wanted to roleplay with someone a bit more than "Greeting, care to group" and the like, and I was just ticked that he didn't share my viewpoint, or so I thought, scroll down to 2..
> 2) The other conjurer was roleplaying consistently, and deserved none of this. Just because he was not roleplaying someone who would wish to help a young arial conjurer.... doesn't mean he wasn't roleplaying.
You may be right here, I really didn't take the time to think about it from his point of view.. Sure I would have liked the help, but I also started this little conversation to try and roleplay a bit..
> 3) Ironically, your attitude during the conversation was not exactly appropriate for Neutral Evil. ("There is no reason to be rude!", etc.) Just because the other conjurer was evil (gear, imp) doesn't mean he will want to be part of some SuperEvilTeam, out to help all other evils in his big family. You see, evil doesn't work that way. You offered him no incentives to reveal the secrets he knows. Why -should- he tell you?
I was trying to portray a sarcastic attitude here.. "There is no reason to be rude!" was meant to be taken sarcastically, since obviously I wasn't exactly friendly towards him, being evil and all.. This is how I roleplay my evil characters, I'm sure it doesn't fit your exact perception of an evil character, but in my eyes it does.. Of course I didn't offer him any incentive, I'm out to get all the information I can without having to do much for it, I expect him to assist me and when he doesn't I lash out. (My interpretation of a pure evil character following Knowledge)
> 4) On a non-RP note: I never post my 'score' in logs. Now, anyone who cares to know is aware of your recall point, sphere, alignment, age, etc. I don't personally care, but someone might.
I don't really care much.. I don't really expect some group to attack me and have someone waiting at my recall spot.. Sphere and alignment I try and roleplay anyway, telling people I seek Knowledge, etc..
Sure I could have said some other things, and I didn't take into consideration his side of the conversation, so I was just ticked that he didn't want to participate.. or something.
