Subject: RE:What to do with a bad bard?


Sylly,
Firstly, I don't recall asking you to post this on
the list here, and wasnt bringing it here
too...however, since you have made it known, perhaps
you should calm down and look at the facts.

First, look at some later posts. We bards ARE INDEED
Rogues too. Playing Jokes is something we do. There
is a particularly annoying (to me) wiz named Lomax on
my server, and he and I have had many arguments (in
char, and out). When he went afk last night, and a
mob aggro'd him (while medding), I pulled it off him.
Why? Cause it was the right thing to do. HE simply
had to go to the restroom.

Why was I so nasty to the bought char? For those of
us who EARNED those levels (and I DO have a character
who did, so being SCOLDED by the higherups isn't
likely to happen) its actually bothersome to see a
char bought. I really think Verant should ban
accounts of people they can prove this was done to.

However, back to the rogue thing. DID I in ANY way
cause permenant harm to him? No. Will he have more
than a long walk to his corpse (Im guessing he WILL
have his songs, and finding a body is no trouble for
bards)? No. Did he learn a valuable lesson?
Certanly. It's NOT A NICE WORLD WE LIVE IN. Things
KILL you in Norrath. Any newbie with a manual would
have bothered to /con it. Would I DO this to a normal
newbie? No...I normally give them all the assistance
I can.
What I did, was done partially as a bardic prank.
My target WAS CERTAINLY chosen by his appearant buying
of the character. Why? Because I personally didnt
approve of it, and he was annoying me.

I NEVER trained a horde of critters on him. I never
targeted him. All I did was suggest he say "HI" to a
giant. If he was THAT NAIVE....he NEEDED that lesson.
SO he lost some of the EXP he never earned in the
first place.
Did I ask him to /consent me so I could help him get
his stuff back? Nope. That would have been stealing,
and wrong. I just told him some fallacies that ANYONE
of his level should know to be false, and that ANYONE
who bothers to even BROWSE the manual would NEVER fall
for.

Now....I responded on this list, only because it was
taken here. Please desist this thread from the list.
It wasnt MEANT to be posted here, and it violates
QUITE a bit of basic internet etiquette for you to
have posted it here.

My last words on this were said.
