1) I play alot when we do not have the head...that is fine.
2) I die alot when the mob of empires raids when I am the only rager on. that is fine.
3) When 5 rager heroes are on, and Me (35) that is fine.
4) when Those five rager heroes keep taking the codex, making me defend against 7+ empires....hmmm.
5) when I die to that mob 4 times in one day, and the one time I can not get back to the village in time to defend because I am at 10 hp from trying to reclothe myself, and I get scolded by lauderan for not being there...not so fine.
6) we had a long talk over the cb.
Basically it was stated that it does not matter if I have to die naked over and over and over and over, I should use stupid tactics to fight a mob on Their terms, or I do not love the village.
I have played a number of villagers in the past. And this is just stupid. If you keep dieing in the same situation, how is it smart, or good for the village, to die in the same situation again? why not use my assassin skills, grab at least enough to cover half my body, and hunt them one at a time? I asked this, and lauderan threatened to boot me from the Village. Heh, I know he does not have the authority, but his words are the result of a trend I see in the village.
heroes bored from no competition, raid everything, the mid ranked ragers (myself alone mostly) get spanked when everyone comes to retreive. Those hero ragers refuse to help us reclothe, or even loan money for food, so we mid ranked ragers(once again, me alone mostly) have to go find our own way. this is fine, as long as we are not threatened, and called cowards just for trying to use tactics to survive rather than just dieing again and again.
Look at it in a totally ooc way. The heroes are doing more to kill off the midranked ragers than anyone else.
Look at it in an rp way, Why the fuck does it serve to make the village stronger to die the same way 5 times in a night?
On a side note, I disliked Minalcar's rp. Especially after he accused me of stealing from another ragers corpse, when there were rager witnesses that witnessed me NOT do it, and the fact that Minalcar was off circlejerking it somewhere for all I know. The fact that he fled from a dual twice, then attacked and killed another rager who was hurt from defending with zero warning. all part of his rp I understand, I just did not like it.
I told everyone I was quiting cf before, but that was a ruse so noone would think Erlien was me. I have deleted ragers before because of seeing to much gangbanging. I delete Erlien because it was nolonger fun. I like playing an underdog. But when you are an underdog with Zero support from the heroes in your own cabal who go out of their way to try to get you killed...shrug.
C'est la Vie.
I guess I just do not like rping beneath dumbasses like Lauderan who think dieing naked 5 times in a night is what being a rager is about. I will give you a hint, that is not what it is about. It is about fighting smart, and killing your opposition on your terms, not dieing naked on thiers.
flame me if you like, I will not return to the forum. I am retired.
