> I'm not going to mention his name because it would probably just be character assassination (But I should because he's a fucking idiot)... I'm just mentioning it because I haven't seen the utter lack of roleplay in Thera in a very long time and you take more shit from people roleplaying than not.

> I group with an obvious newbie, it's alright I say... I explain to him that my only rule is that he never attack in the precence of any sort of guard (we are in orphanage, I am tanking though he's jumping now and then, and there is a town guard outside that could walk in). O.k... an hour later he attacks a boy in front of a watchman and I'm splattered in a round, I come back re gear and start the tounge lashing-all kept in roleplay I explain it to him and that the point is that I made a rule and he broke it-I demand that he pay for his actions by giving me an item (he didnt' even have use for-a serpent ring-hell it was just roleplay). After I demand it (I'm being really calm right now). He starts explaining that I am only in a game, and that I dont' really exist in the mud... in a last great act of frustration to keep some rp here I get angry and yell that beleives I do not exist and perhaps that is why my death means nothing, he continues that I am only playing a game, a mud in his exact words so I says "Oh you want to play do you?" "you think I'm playing with you? You think this is a game do you!?" and he replies with some more of the garbage so I start beating his ass and he flees, runs, hides then starts telling me I play too much (I already knew this), I'm a big baby (well...no comment), and that I musn't be more than five years old. He replies with "I dont' want to have to kill you, I want to be your friend" .... at this point I'm just done talking to him, I find him in town and decide to start piercing every empty room until I find the piece of shit and he says bye then logs off. I'm fed up trying to fucking roleplay, I slur a few words when I'm drunk and I got people telling me they are foreigners and I need to use regular english because english isn't their first language (You can complain about not understanding me in character you know)... I bitch at someone and I'm now a five year old..... what the fuck am I roleplaying for?
