Before i right anything here for people to read, don't reply if you intend to insult me, i know who i am.
This is based off 2 recent immortal interactions...
A, as an empoweree looking to Cyradia
B, as a mortal who refused to change his mind just because Astein demanded it.
In (A) I followed my view on how mortal/immortal interaction should be handled, they are the allmighty and are to be in awe of and respected.
gods are not mere mortals.
Response to this, i was called a snivelling coward and most of IRC intimated that i handled the situation utterly wrong, result? immortals are not to be treated as immortals but as mortals in funny suits.
In (B) I followed the advice of others and stuck to my guns, i had an opinion , i had a belief, Astein had an opinion and a belief, i argued with him (using say, not tell or pray) and he killed me at least 4 times in 20 minutes.
Result? WTF? In the first meeting i was laughed at for being in awe of a god , in the second meeting i was murdered at least 4 times for sticking to my opinion and not just changing my mind because some immortal disagreed with me
Overall result? WTF? How the hell am i supposed to interact with immortals.
I am fed up with this game rewarding only those who look at things in the same way as a the imms do and only do.
Am i supposed to roleplay how -I- see fit, or do i keep having to roleplay in a manner to please the imms?
I roleplayed my interaction with Astein and lost 2 con because of it, my interaction was only a disagreement over a point of law. Result, why the fuck am i ever going to interact with the immortals again when they can happily screw over my character on a whim, without resort to recompense or a satisfactory response.
Please immortals will you get it together, can you work to provide a cohesive mix or attempt to see things in other ways when you come upon a situation.
This game is played by some 16 immortals (random number) and some 100 players.. there is more than 1 view on situations, would you please start appreciating other peoples views more and stop sacrificing those who don't fit your mental map, but who are equally attempting their best.
I'm fed up with immortal reactions because half of you act like you are mortals and the other half act like you are immortals
and then there is the fair shade who think it's fine to wipe con of my character because you can't see another way of dealing with a situation.
