> I was sitting in my guild, Lvl-11 Warrior, and an Immortal trasported me to the desc room and forced me to type up something.
Did they now? Wow. That must have been really traumatic for you. You are supposed to have a description by level 10. If you were at 11, and without a description, than the Immortal who transferred you was not being a "dick", you were. By not having a description, you were wasting their time, and the time of whichever other Immortal had to sit in the description room with you while you wrote one. Ask yourself this: "How hard is it, really, to come up with a description by level 10?". Right. Not hard. Spend the ten minutes it takes to come up with a description right after rolling up the character, and save all of us, you included, time and trouble.
> A while later, someone gave me a bunch of eq and an Immortal saw it and said we didnt roleplay it, and had us both KILLED.
Wasn't there, don't know why. But the fact that they were watching you that closely suggests that either your site has a history of cheating and/or bending the rules, or you yourself do. Or the Immortal in question just happened to be watching you when you did something that was not in keeping with your character's ethos/alignment/role. You do have a role, right? Right. That's what I thought.
> Does anyone know why Immortals are such dicks?
Picture, if you will, a person who has to deal, on an hourly basis, with a bunch of other people who whine, bitch and moan about how they are NOT breaking the rules (when you know damn well they are), lie to you, call you names, curse like a sailor, say things about your family, make accusations about your sexual preferences, and threaten your dog with physical harm. In other words, picture someone who has to deal with a hundred clones of you every day. That answer your question?
> All they do is sit around, waiting with their fingers crossed for people to break the rules.
The above is why the subject of this post is *Heh*. God knows that's all I do!
> The WORST part is that we can't do anything about it because everyone else grovels at their feet. Im about to call an uprising to take down these power-hungry bastards.
I feel for you, man! So I have two suggestions. The first is to tell you that if you want to remove this particular hassle from your life forever, you can just quit playing. End of story, no more Immortals bothering you, looking over your shoulder, making sure you are playing by the rules. But I hate to say that, because why drive people away from the game who enjoy it? I would much rather you took suggestion two, which is to really role-play your character, interact with other characters (beyond PKing them), make a good description that supports your role, and learn and follow the rules (which are there to level the playing field, rather than provide power-hungry bastards like myself with targets for their aggression).
Sorry if I came across as a dick.
