Yee-ha...Arolin, the fact that you have this nonchalant look at blatantly breaking rules, makes me dance that you're gone.

Yep...and here is why most of the immortal staff is disgusted with IRC and we tend to not be overly helpful if we even bother to show up. You ruin the game, you undermine a lot of what goes on in the game...for what? Just so you can be 'the best' in your mind? That type of selfish bullshit disgusts me.

This comment is nauseating, if there's is anyone who agrees with Arolin here, please, do me and yourself a favor and just stop playing. You'll save someone on the immstaff the time later on from denying you.

Again, I'm revolted. To hell with exploring and using your brain...just spoonfeed you and you're happy.

By this defintion, my dear misguided Arolin, you've just defined the 'skilled players' (those being in the loop) as some of the most unskilled players of the game. You've just said that the only way they're good is through cheating, the only way they're better than other people, is through squatting on the game...and flicking thier nose at it. This post is like saying Tanya Harding was a better skater than Nancy Kerridan because Tanya had better people to swing a lead pipe.

Again, my lunch rises to the surface of stomach. May we weed all of you and your little loopy friends out of the game, Arolin, it'll make me giddy.
> Anyways...by all means define your character by your IC roleplay. But dont expect other people to do the same. Cf has so much more going for it than background stories and story containing conversations. But if you truely like this, go ahead, i really pity the people who do it, because they are after brownie points from the
No you selfish, conceited, arrogant asshole...they're the people who are playing the game BY THE RULES . Imagine that! People playing a game, and abiding by it's rules...enjoying roleplay, digging the fantasy landscape and areas in it...actually playing a cabal/religion/race/class because it fits a role not because 'it'll make me a killing machine'. Gee...what losers those people must be...
immortals (way too many people who kiss ass). Do what you want, when you want and never be afraid to say what you think.

I'll agree with you here...never be afraid to voice your opinion...no matter how wrong it might be.
> People think i roleplay worse, or cheat more, not the case. I JUST ADMIT IT!, heaps of people exchange knowledge on irc. Do you have any idea how many people ask me on irc for info, even people i dont speak to. There are also tons of people who play chars that only pk. Most keep a low profile, why? because they dont want the imms attention. Which is why it takes balls to say what you think and what you do and who you hate.
Want a cookie? You want me to say what I think? This is what I think...I think you are a selfish, misguided, aggravating, undermining, elitist, pathetic, small-minded, uncreative, waste of time, worthless little fuck who doesn't have the slightest idea of exactly how selfish and vile you are. You achieve nothing except destroying the game for others, making the whole idea of exploration a fucking joke...and ruin any and all effort the immstaff puts into the game....it's people like you that make me seriously think about hitting the double delete every now and then...it's the others like you that keep me from doing it though.
in summation: Arolin, bite me.
flame off.
