Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
Loss sucks. Perma-loss can suck even more. Death is a risk you take by playing the game. In BL it is perfectly legitimate to kill each other over these sorts of arguments.
What is incredibly inappropriate is rolling into someone's DMs to vent your frustration with them.

It's not hyperbolic, it is wildly inappropriate, and you should be embarrassed and, tbh, contrite.

Don't be churlish in bloodloch if you don't wanna risk your hardcore character getting nuked
Don't play a hardcore character if you don't wanna risk your hardcore character getting nuked
Never DM someone OOC to be an asshole because you got PKed, nobody owes you anything. If you think someone broke a rule or you were seriously sleighted in some way, that's what issues are for (HELP ISSUES if you haven't yet). This was a wildly inappropriate reaction.

HELP HARDCORE and HELP HARDCORE FAQ have all the disclaimers. Don't make a hardcore character if you're not willing to embrace the risk. That's the whole point.

They know it's a risk of being an HC character. If they can't handle that risk, they shouldn't be playing HC characters. You are, at the end of the day, in charge of your game experience - if you grow attached to your character to the point you lash out at others OOC over an earned death, don't play HC.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
I mean, I felt bad initially. I didn't know, and while I dunno that I'd go out of my way to avoid killing a HC character, I'm def not gonna go after HC characters on purpose, exactly. But then the person in question came at me in DMs, so... my remorse dried up real fast.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
I dislike the way HC characters seem to be getting treated with kid gloves, and relatedly, I dislike that there is an attitude of "how dare I have consequences" among some HC players.I said it earlier when it came to offering corpses for blood and other stuff that I genuinely gather corpses for.
If you mouth off at someone, you may find yourself PK'd. That goes for all of us. Hell, it just happened to me. If you don't want your HC character to get PK'd, keep your mouth shut.
And definitely don't DM me in Discord to tell me off immediately, especially when we've had no previous contact.
ICly, if a character has chosen to be alive/a blindspot, they are already weak to those of Undeath/Ivoln. If your corpse gets nabbed and defiled, you made that choice opting in.
By becoming a hardcore character you have resigned yourself to the role of "extra" in the story in my head. If you made a bunch of connections, and built yourself up from that role.
Congratulations, people get to RP a meaningful funeral.
My character will 100 percent behead a HC character with ZERO remorse. Sorry about your luck
Your choice, is yours alone. We are not obligated to feel bad for your characters death.
