> 1) The shield thing is a joke and my sense of humor isn't all that good. It would have done that particular character more harm than good.
I remember your favorite joke was to "accidentally" say something
on the master cabal channel meant for the imm channel... like
[Master] Nepenthe: Honestly most masters are just a pack of bloodthirsty
idiots, no better than ragers... oops wrong channel
Around the same time there was a master leader who used to accidentally CB
his mud-sex emotes, and then turned the CB channel off so it wouldn't happen
again. Obviously, the standards were a bit lower back then.
I don't think Nepenthe needs people jumping to his defense, but I certainly
think he's played with far more class than most everyone. Posting something
like Nep saying there's a giant merc out there loaded with EQ might seem lame
now, but back then CB'ing goodbye and telling everyone your plans for the night
wasn't that uncommon. It's all relative.
> It's wishful thinking in speech that shouldn't have had to be guarded.
I think that's really well put. Nep keeping his chars pretty much to himself
is more than could be said for some imms, so don't give him shit for talking
about them with the few people who'd have to know who he is. Becoming a high-
level imm doesn't mean you're not allowed to enjoy the game on the same level
the rest of us do. If it did, we'd probably still be running descriptionless
around the Ganglands with names like hitmeimamage, or CuChulain.
