Best Of

I've no complaints about the fights that revolved around the event honestly. Fun fights overall. However, 2 things happened yesterday that are worthy to bring up as peeves:

1.) Summoning people those are not participating in a pk event from irrelevant areas and then killing them in the pk zone because they were forced into aura. (This was at a lesser, so not related to the event pk at all.) I am talking about people who weren't even close to the aura, not even like within 5-6 area range of it. That is just poor form. I thought it was established that being in a pk zone is consent to participate.

2.) Using a customized god curse as a get-away-from-jail card during combat.

I am using the word use here, but 1st one can just be bad sportsmanship sure, 2nd one is honestly just an abuse. And while I do not believe either should have happened, you should be reasonable enough to not attempt a clear abuse to begin with. It's not funny, it's not smart and it's not fair.

I cannot speak to 1) because I am generally not around on the weekends. But while not related to the event, was it related to the war?(not baiting a response, like I said I did not hear about anything)

But as to 2), if you truly believe it was "abuse", and you are not just being a bad sport yourself, I would issue. Getting on the forums and making claims of abuse is bad form. That is a very strong word and claiming it without admin confirmation or input seems rude. To me 2) specifically sounds like a character turning a god cursing them into a win. Which I think is a cool story beat and is both fun and clever. What better way to stick it to a god that cursed you? Turn their curse into a boon. This sounds super similar to a very toxic sentiment echo'ed on the forums earlier of "wishing they would rp being losers."

onto my pet peeve: Stuff always happens when I am irl busy.

If 'someone else did it first' is a good enough excuse to do it then Nipsy is fine. And in your own words, that should be blah blah I'm not using your words, you see where this is going, right?

Don't be a hypocrite. If it's bad, don't do it. Don't go through an elaborate set of mental gymnastics to justify it. You abused things, you've encouraged abuse of things, and you're on here lecturing people about abusing things. Pick one.

I suppose I'd have to provide receipts to prove the Sacrifice tidbit, and sadly I don't have enough, but I think the timing is proof enough for people to make their own assumptions, especially after all the heat that skill has gotten in the past.

Edit: If we want to keep going back and back and back to pointing figures at who did what first, the first abuse I witnessed with Orrery globes originated on Spirit by someone who doesn't play anymore. We don't need to blame them. We can all be responsible for our own actions instead.
