even mighty towers collapse one day.

Yes, but the GM's will is eternal. I would strongly suggest respecting it, because to do otherwise makes you a dick.

Being a dick comes in many forms, including the guy who plays his character so harshly that no one else has fun.

In reply to Gorgath (msg # 913):

this is why i feel justified.

Well, it didn't take a diviner to foresee this.  Jin, you might want to look up My Guy Syndrome, and ask yourself if anyone other than you is having fun with the way you're playing (and the way you played Grend -- which I presume was the same player, based on posting style).  My opinion (the player): you could play Jin as tough, heartless, ruthless, and fanatically loyal without killing the fun for everyone around you.  I've played characters who were that way.  It's been a long time, though, because I found around 1980 that I didn't enjoy it, and it led to inter-character civil war in a campaign where PVP was not just allowed, but mildly encouraged.

As things stand now, Jin is a huge asset in a fight (as what I believe to be a highly optimized fighter) -- and a detriment to the group in every other way.  I sincerely hope this is My Guy Syndrome, and not Mary Sue style self-insertion...

My (player) opinion, take it for what it's worth.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never said I wasn't a dick. However, I have respected the GM's word every time he's asked me to tone it down, and have even PM'd him a few times to ask him how I should interpret certain things or how to proceed.

I don't care if you're a dick to me, Iskander. I'd be fine with you attacking Jin, even killing him. However, the GM has requested otherwise, so maybe don't?

In fact, if it makes things easier: The instant Iskander makes his move, turn Jin into an NPC, so it's no longer PVP. Does that work, boss?

We avoid PVP, and Iskander can still have his Pyrrhic victory/catharsis/whatever. Everybody wins.

In reply to Jin (msg # 916):

haha.. i do enjoy watching you squirm... sweat bullets.. sweat them!

Iskander, we don't need another A-hole ... you are F'ing goading as well.

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 918):

because i want blood now.

It's cool. I don't feel goaded. Iskander should dislike Jin. He should perhaps want him dead. However, I am bothered that Iskander's player seems willing to disregard the GM's wishes, when there are perfectly acceptable means to achieve the same goal.

I am afraid that there's no blood to be had here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In reply to Jin (msg # 920):
rules schmules. you seem to want to follow those which suit you, and ignore those which do not.. lol

The GM has had to eject a player of two in the past... don't make him do it again.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 921):

why would iskander want to be trapped in an arena, fighting for the glee of scum, no doubt money staked over it? and even apart from all that, if he were killed in the combat, he wouldn't wan't to give anyone bragging rights. no, this is a matter of "don't let me catch you in a dark ally" sort of thing.

Yeah. I admit I get overzealous at times and I'm trying to work on that, but if I was seriously going "rules schmules" I wouldn't be here.

Not true.  It works just fine on PCs if the Player is willing to play their character straight (and doesn't have disads that require them to stand up against the rough treatment).




So... you're taking this IC beef OOCly?

I don't know how our Narrator runs things... but Arena doesn't necessarily have to mean an IC arena.  It might also just mean some area (read thread) in which only the two combatants are dealing with their personal (read physical) business.

ICly the Guild requires personal disputes that turn physical be dealt with in the Guild Arena for various reasons (probably so it's 'legal' and not just murder, so they can make book on it, and so the PCs has an IC excuse to keep PvP to a minimum during missions).

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 926):

ooc and in rl i never back down and am sort of unhinged. a part of all us us makes their way into our pcs  :D

Doesn't that get tedious?

In reply to Jin (msg # 928):

I suppose it could, but each of us has a button, and some like pressing it. So it goes with each of us.


Btw, I   may be scarce this weekend

I try very hard to make characters that do not have my own personal beefs or personality issues.  I rp to get away from myself.



Though I'll admit... they all tend to be a bit Impatient... which is why so many of them end up with Absent-Minded, Curious, Impulsive, or the like.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 929):

yeah, memorial day weekend

In reply to Iskander (msg # 931):

mine are all usually optimized/idealized versions of how i wish i could be

In reply to Jin (msg # 928):

oh yeah! mom always told me to pick my battles! xD

In reply to Iskander (msg # 933):

No, really, his main beef with Jin is the bully/tyrant thing. That's a specific quirk he has ( hates bullies & Tyrants) he also has an intolerance for malevolant supernatural beings, but this also applies to mortals that obviously evil as well. He would not murder anyone in cold blood, that's true...but how far do you push somebody until it's war?

In reply to Iskander (msg # 934):

Back up tomorrow
