You can still interact IC even if you've broken up. Set fire to her car or something.

OMG Emelle, you just made my day...

Screw guys, I just wanna dance!

Moirean

Aetolian version: I bust the kneecaps of your mule?

Rivas

Moirean

I wish I could like that twice. XD

rage at Server side LAG!!!!    Ugh...its been rough all day!  at least to me!! 

Moirean

I don't like getting nasty tells about who I am RL, because of PK in a video game. That is not fun.

Angwe

@Moirean

H8rs gon h8.

If they're that mad, you must be doing something right.

Moirean

It was because I used impale during a team fight.

Illikaal

That wasn't it, actually. You called an Ascendril who 1. Is running firstaid for curing. and 2. Is actually bothering to learn combat, and willingly put themselves into scenarios to gain more knowledge a "clueless vibebot" just because they're an easy target. Frankly, I found it quite offensive that you would say something so off putting about a player who is fairly new to combat, and trying to learn it. 

Lets not play the victim here. 

Moirean

I really don't want to get into a mudslinging contest here. I'm not going to debate specifics. I simply was/am upset by your comments.

Sending tells which directly attack personal issues I am tackling RL because you died in a video game is not justified. 

Seir

Personal attacks are never justified. This may sound as a shock coming from me, but this is just a game. There's no point in demonizing other players simply because they choose to play on a different side that we do. While this may be the internet, people do have feelings so there's no point in acting like a jackass.

Mind, this is not directed at anyone. However, I've found the game considerably more pleasant ever since I started being social and getting along with folks on the other side. I don't like certain people still, but those bad apples don't spoil the bunch for me.

Rivas

Hearing some of the OOC talk on the various "strategy" clans when there's a holywar or leyline fight or whatever. I get that you're going up against people whose make-believe character is opposed to your make-believe character, but some of the things I'm hearing people say about our fellow players is just...ugh.

 

Goddamn, guys. We're all just people. Calm down.

 

 

 

Addendum: I shall, always and forever, rage at the "well if they're being cheap/cheating then so will we" mindset. That stuff is one of the BIGGEST factors that drags this game down, and does -nothing- but make one person feel better at the expense of a large group of people. Grow the hell up.

 

Serrice

Got to spread those negative vibes around, man. Ain't no good to play all high and mighty if you LOSE.

Xavin

Yeah, I was stunned by some of the language that I've heard today, and I don't even particularly care for the people being talked about.

Malok

This is why I don't join OOC clans. I was recently invited multiple times to the Chaos Cafe one and turned it down. I saw OOC clans ruin Imperian, not interested in participating in them here and furthering their causes. I rage that they're even allowed to exist in the first place.

Ezalor

Heh, I'm kind of wondering what kind of "cheap tactics" and stuff we are accused of doing.

It's like...11 Order members for them to 2 for us (where you at @Rivas), not to mention the setup-Rites-and-leave tactic Dhar is doing to prevent people from defiling properly and mount killing (to be fair, I'm not sure if our side is doing that too or not). The closest thing I can think of is using Wand of Portals to coordinate?

Milvushina

OOC clans are well-intentioned and very necessary when trying to coordinate for combat, even if just to enlist for a combat web. For that reason, they should very well exist. The problem is people get too invested in their characters and 'side', blurring the lines between IC and OOC. And it's easier to do that during things like holy wars, when you have to put a lot of time and effort into your character's cause - in those situations, I think everyone is probably a bit guilty of letting out a little rage about other players, because it can be extremely frustrating.

That said, I've also seen a bit of unnecessary and hostile remarks about other players that are well beyond what I think is appropriate frustration, even outside stressful events like war, and it's extremely uncomfortable. That sort of attitude really needs to stop, and some of it could probably be enforced by the players if you keep expressing and reminding how inappropriate these comments are.

Areka

It isn't 11 to 2. Even trying to do more even fights doesn't work out on either side. For at least five or six hours today it's been three of ya'll to me being the only one at my computer, outside of a few congregants willing to snoop around.

Edit to that: So excited to try PKing and seeing how some of this stuff I have works, to have the numbers shift 2v1-3v1, and errybody AFK or a nomcom (though I dat Lucus and his enthusiasm), up until Dask logged on.

And now the real ANGUISH? Newer computer's bluescreening like mad so I keep having to log on the mac at which point I'm stuck. Wth win8. Wth.

Daskalos, Illidan, Lucus, Areka, Teani, Belgarion, Zion, Ciarelle, Konnorn just off the top of my head. 9, close enough.

We haven't had more than 2 Order members on all day.

Regardless, that's irrelevant. I'm more curious as to what cheap tactics are we being accused of doing?

Areka

Ilyon, Xiuhcoatl, Ellenia, Ezalor, all with combat experience

Today for the most part it's been me, Lucus (who is a noob, and still learning how to check his AUDIT, two-skill-1-virt adorable little lum), Zion and Belg both AFK, up until this last hour, and the other skirmishes have been at least two of you, if not all three, against me.

Ezalor

Congregation, not Order.

Lucus has actually defiled the most shrines out of anyone, I think, heh. Zion's been very active up until I think nearly everyone burned out from 10+ hours of Holy War already (you came around after everyone already got sick of it and afked which is probably why you're not seeing many people anymore).

Xavin

Kids, kids. Holywars suck no matter what.

Areka

and Illidan, Konnorn, and Teani are congregation as well.

Ezalor

Ah fair enough. Still outnumbered pretty hard on the defiling front :P. In any case, I think we can all just agree with Xavin .

Haven

>_> Orders need another revamp imo anyway.

Daskalos

The cheap tactics aren't cheap other than the sheer, complete imbalance in team combat that exists in the game. One side has far superior ranged and hindering abilities than the other. But that's neither here nor there. In terms of pure -people- though, I haven't been on the advantage side of numbers at any given time today. Xiuhcoatl, Ellenia, Ezalor, Moirean, Ilyon... not once.
