So, if your character is -that- amazing, and you have 150-200 major roleplaying qualities (that you act out religiously), why do you keep having problems? Why do your characters keep getting selected for arbitrary fucking-overs by the Vast Immortal Conspiracy? (To be referred to as the VIC in future posts. It comes up a lot.)
Nowhere, in any of your repsonses, have you stated "Gee, it's possible I fucked up."
As far as the IMM's 'effort level': You have no idea at all. You could have been snooped for any amount of time. Your pfile can (and likely does) contain annotations by IMMs who have watched you in the past. They could have read your role and description, and not liked what they read. Another IMM could have written "I can't do it, but someone else should unempower this whiny clown right away, for the following reasons:" in your Pfile.
No, BoltThrower is not the only one who can/should be able to decide if a paladin of BoltThrower is a retard. If he's really away a lot, he may have actually asked another IMM to watch his empowered flock.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant, by the way.
As a concrete example of something you have COMPLETELY FUCKING WRONG: Charity, as suggested by the Paladin's Code, is not about only giving away a gold piece when you are absolutely, positively sure that you will never ever think of a use for it. Altruism and sacrifice just don't work like that. Part of being 'good' is putting the interests of others before yourself. Give that some thought.
> Yeah I know what you mean. But if i were to list the next level of major character changes I would still have about 150-200 entries. They wouldnt be 1 liners. That would still be a good 50 sixty screen lengths long. And unless a specific immortal (eg my god) wanted to know something there is no fucking way he would read through all that.

> The imm who un-empowered me put no effort into finding out, So wouldnt have read a shit long role either. Is there a problem here, yes i think there is, what can be done from a players point of view... Nothing. From a immortals point of view, everything.
