No. And this is why

January 22, 2010 06:16PM
I'm 28. I've been playing CF since I was 18. Back in the day, I could have easily done 14 hours per day and come back for more. That was fun and exciting back then.

I'm older and have more of a life. I have a wife, I'm starting up college classes, I've got a full-time job, and we want to have kids eventually. If I want to casually play a game within the bounds of the rules, why can't I do it without getting hassled? There are plenty of mobs with short "full descriptions", so why does a player have to be different? Regardless of that, the description length is subjective. If I were an annoying assbag in game otherwise, I could understand the "extra attention". Instead, they pulled me aside. I was already annoyed by a previous imm encounter, so this was the last straw for me. To add insult to injury, I asked to be transferred to another room so I could delete. Rather than accommodate the reasonable request of a player, the cloaked imm decided to be a dick, which is why I was a dick back to him. So, it took six months to stomach rolling a character again. This left a really sour taste in my mouth and I can find other ways to entertain myself that are less frustrating.

There's a deeper problem here that no one seems to want to address: What the exact role of the imms are. Should they be such micromanaging fascists that anyone who plays the game in a way they don't like gets pulled aside and told to change? Does pulling me aside create a better gaming environment if two lines were added to my description? Have you ever played a game where this kind of bullshit occurred and was even defended by players like Briartangle (who is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, I guess)? I'll be the first to admit that I can be a total prick, but I didn't break character or role (not added yet, but written down at work). I stood up to what I didn't agree with and posted the result here. Tell me my penis is small or whatever you want. I can take it. Just when they get bored and pick on you, either be a pussy, bend over and take it, or stand up to them, spread the info, and force them to either change their behavior or risk bleeding player numbers. Whatever, dudes.

Deletion has lost its charm for me

The Baron 953 January 22, 2010 05:05PM

Completely devil's advocate, but proof of my earlier point.

Sam 330 January 24, 2010 01:27PM

That looks like an ESL description though

daurwyn(VIP) 269 January 25, 2010 10:07AM

Nope! NT

Sam 298 January 25, 2010 07:56PM

This really was your own badness man, obviously you have a lot on your plate otherwise right now.

jalim 386 January 24, 2010 03:47AM

Having read that fully, and not just your description

daurwyn(VIP) 370 January 24, 2010 03:42AM

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Good ridddance. (n/t)

cointreau 353 January 23, 2010 10:07PM

CF has lost another whining bitch. Oh noes! (n/t)

CommonSense 247 January 23, 2010 12:37PM

What everyone else said. nt

Cosimo 257 January 23, 2010 10:46AM

You, good sir, are a ninny. NT

Batman 286 January 23, 2010 04:16AM

lulz ur a douchebag. (n/t)

Vhoren 228 January 22, 2010 11:50PM

Gotta side with the imm on this one

daurwyn(VIP) 335 January 22, 2010 10:13PM

Lazy sob, how hard would that have been? Or to make a proper desc to begin with? Hell, you've played for 10 years. Not even my first char 8 years ago had that a crappy desc. (Though it was in engrish) (n/t)

deriveh 218 January 22, 2010 09:37PM

ROFL. You are what is commonly referred to as...A bitch. n/t

Derexal 306 January 22, 2010 08:00PM

Description help for you.

pendragon_surtr 424 January 22, 2010 07:13PM

good post (n/t)

Tiberius Odgen 274 January 22, 2010 07:36PM

You are a whiny drama queen (n/t)

dervish 288 January 22, 2010 06:44PM

You are not special just because you are a vet.

The length of time someone has been on the staff is irrelevant. He's an IMM; a game admin, and if you're playing the game you play by his rules, whether you agree with them or not. Glad you decided to just not play. nt

Splntrd 265 January 22, 2010 06:06PM

You're an asshole.

briartangle 338 January 22, 2010 05:34PM

So much for being candid, sincere, and transparent

Re: Deletion has lost its charm for me

Gihn 321 January 22, 2010 05:19PM

So tell me, what's the big deal about adding a line or two? Is it the principal? Lazyness? n/t

jmc 308 January 22, 2010 05:16PM

Here's a principal!

TripHitNdip 455 January 22, 2010 05:21PM

Who are these griefers?

alansmithee 368 January 22, 2010 09:32PM

They are the characters who do well in the game

Stevers 288 January 23, 2010 10:03AM

By really good

daurwyn(VIP) 310 January 24, 2010 02:40AM

Naming griefers = character assassination = illegal on these boards. But frankly I don't think they exist. nt

Splntrd 229 January 23, 2010 07:48AM

There's some retarded newbie cheating ring that likes throwing that term around now.

Starscream 316 January 23, 2010 02:59AM

I have to agree here.

BattleCharmed 337 January 22, 2010 06:19PM

Huh?

WarEagle 298 January 24, 2010 06:54PM

Re: Here's a principal!

Gihn 317 January 22, 2010 05:26PM

Meh, I also don't write long descriptions.

Sam 327 January 22, 2010 05:35PM

Like I said

Gihn 286 January 22, 2010 06:42PM

Oh please, this is just another one of those players who say they're leaving forever and come back next week. (n/t)

Starscream 280 January 22, 2010 05:23PM

I really do try to leave though...

Sam 279 January 22, 2010 08:24PM

No. And this is why

The Baron 356 January 22, 2010 06:16PM

Yeah, yeah...

Engurd 248 January 25, 2010 02:54PM

People have always

daurwyn(VIP) 295 January 24, 2010 02:43AM

I've been playing a long time..and your an idiot.

minyar 329 January 23, 2010 04:38PM

That last paragraph is so emotionally charged I can't help but laugh.

Starscream 282 January 22, 2010 06:49PM

So how do you take a stand?

Thom 335 January 22, 2010 07:36PM

I don't think it was actually about the literal length

Gihn 314 January 22, 2010 06:45PM

i can ban you too if you think it'll help. nt

Isildur(VIP) 232 January 22, 2010 06:20PM

Easy there Comrade, he is just explaining his point of view nt

Thom 221 January 22, 2010 07:32PM

Wow... that sucks... (n/t)

legobelt 292 January 22, 2010 05:14PM

No...what sucked...was his description, and wasting my time reading that post nt
