« on: August 18, 2008, 10:33:19 am »
Thank you for that Grish.
As a side note, Im fine with you/others lashing out at *me*. In fact, thats what I was trying to do almost with this post, and it's kind of worked. The drama seems to have calmed right down, some situations got completely resolved, we got things out in the open, and people seemed to have backed off a little from Knecht a bit.
I'm fine with people having it out on me, I'd rather that than a new player copping crap, just as long as it doesn't affect them. You're free to say whatever you like to me, I just don't want it on a new players shoulders is all.
Thanks for your reply, no more really needs to be said I think. I appreciate what you said there, and i think things have calmed down a lot.
In retrospect, I'm sorry for snapping, I really did just *snap* after so many many days of it all going on. I've had a pretty .. annoying.. time RL at the moment which isn't helping either.
I know I roleplay a bitch, and usually am very nice nonetheless, but lately I've become so shut down and cynical that I fear I may actually BE a bitch too hah.

A JOKE?
Do you want me to go put the things you said in tells in here? This was no JOKE, you made THAT very CLEAR. You made it VERY clear that you were personally upset because a new player didnt join your clan, and you even had a go at ME for helping you and Rynock a little.
Not reading the rest of your long winded reply when you start off with stating something that isn't even true.
EDIT:
Hm. Actually. No. I should reply, because I said I would, and me going off like that and saying "screw you I cant be assed reading what you have to say" is a tad hypocritical and unfair.
Firstly. I wasn't NOT minding my own business, so to speak. Fact is, Knecht has been on the receiving end of this crap, not just from TR mind you, for a few days now. it's gotta stop. And I've finally snapped, mainly thanks to Jason's pathetic antics and lame name calling, which I DO find insulting and offensive.
Even IMMs have commented that whats been happening needs to come to a stop because we are pushing new players away like this. Knecht has a good mind, I for one don't want to lose him. I don't care WHAT clan he's in, if you want him, take him, if that's whats going to stop this drama. But, by that same token, I am now loyal to Knecht and I don't want to be seen as if I simply give up my members.
You made it very clear that what you said was not meant as any kind of joke, by your follow-up comments, and by what you said in TELLS. YOU got angry at ME for him joining vampires, after you so "selflessly" put so much "time" into him, to quote some of your wording, only for him to up and join another clan.
You don't even have any idea what went down with Rynock, do you? And I won't bring it up, because he has apologised, and I'm trying to leave it at that, however it IS a contributing factor.
I can understand your dissapointment. I can. And it sucks. But jesus, there's no need to act like this. And I'm not just talking to YOU, by the way, I'm talking to EVERYONE. Jason's antics, both in open channels AND in tells, are unwarranted, as well as Asmoday's. I mean hell, after I posted that little snippet, which isn't the first time this has been happening mind you, he then went on to say shit in open channels, and call me a cunt and whatever else, for like the next 30 god damn minutes until I managed to get Belgarion to log in so he might shut up.
I made it clear in my post that I was talking to everyone. Yes, I made special mention of TR and Jason, because damnit, those are the three main situations going on right now. Jason's antics have been completely out of line, and only calmed down when Belgarion logged on, and Jason finally shut up.
Also, on another note in your post, yeah, I know, I've been inactive. It's called a real life. It happens sometimes. But damnit, don't go saying I don't do shit for the MUD. I try, more than you know, and I'm sure some of the IMMs can attest to that. Sometimes it's only small, but damnit I try. I've been here a rough ten years, with some breaks mind you. Don't be sitting there telling me I've never done anything -.-
EVERY clan is pretty much inactive. Look at them. You can't single one clan out and say it sucks and is completely inactive. Where's TR's CL? I'm at least usually logged in every day. What about Sics? It has one member, jason, effectively. Saints? Dead. Vikings? Not enough players (playerbase wise).
DJ's is about the closest thing to active as you get.
Look. My point is. I'm seeing all this shit going on, with everyone, and I'm seeing it from Knecht's side too.
He's new to mudding, he's new to 4d, and to be honest, he doesn't understand you people, he doesn't know HOW to act. So yeah, he's responding "in kind", because so far all he's seeing is immature whiney insulting dickheads. Again, not necessarily speaking directly to you Grish.
Take a minute to think.
You're a new player. You've never mudded before.
Every time you log in, someone is telling you how you suck for joining vamps, or screaming at you to leave, or telling you to join their clan, or insulting you, or yelling at you, or giving you shit.
EVERY TIME.
How the hell would you react? By being nice? I certainly wouldn't. I would have quit by now.

BTW, if you guys in TR wanna be saying SHIT in open channels, then step on up boys. Got an issue, how about you voice it, and Ill reply.
But i know one of you at least apologised.
Is the other stupid enough to try "state his case" as to why he's being so pathetic and idiotic?
Lets get this crap out in the open shall we? Blah blah blah you hate vampires, blah blah blah you hate me. No. What it comes down to is, you wanted the newbie, and didn't get him, and now you're all whiney bitches.
So come on. Step up. Try me. Or shall I just go post the logs of you saying crap in tells, on gossip and in NEWBIE channel?
NEWBIE channel for christ sake! Yes, there's a smart idea, let's go shout SHIT on the NEWBIE channel. Well done!

I have tried and TRIED to deal with this behind the scenes, to calm situations, to ignore, to attempt to stay quiet in people's best interests.
And by all accounts, I should probably still be doing so.
But I am SICK to death of this BULLSHIT.
You want to know WHY we don't get new players? Or WHY the new players don't last more than a few days, or weeks, at best?
Look in the fucking mirror.
As you all know, Knecht joined recently, a very promising player, with intelligence, a brain. What a rare thing. And you all HOUND him to join your clan, and then proceed to whine, bitch, moan, complain, when he joined Vampires. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. Except for Erwin.
Wanna know WHY he joined vampires? Aside from the fact the clan is more "in line" with his personality as an individual, *I* did not hound him. I didn't go begging him to join, I simply said hello, and spoke to him here and there, and did NOT pressure him.
Meanwhile all you IDIOTS are fighting over him like he's a piece of fresh meat.
Since then, there has been a number of issues. Table Round have acted like children, both of you, Asmoday hasn't been any better, and Jason's behaviour is COMPLETELY unacceptable.
I have put up with a lot of Jason's crap. His insults, swearing, drunkenness. I put up with the crap he tried to pull about the clan war, whilst he made ME look like an idiot, I attempted to remain quiet and let it slide.
After numerous troubles with everyone on the damn mud, and after a whole line of childish CRAP from TR members, Jason starts his bullshit AGAIN. Mind you, this was after he MSN'd me with some stupid "flirty" line, as if he's trying to half-assedly pick me up at a pub or something.
Knecht tells you, 'now jason is messaging me with an attitude..what is up with everyone here'
You tell Jason, 'leave Knecht alone damnit, everyone is just pushing new players away'
Jason tells you, 'shut the fuck up and leave me alone you cunt I'm playing hellgate'
You tell Jason, 'Do NOT speak to me like that Jason.'
You tell Knecht, 'He's drunk, ignore him. Seriously, use the command ignore.'
Jason tells you, 'fuck you, ill adress you by youre true worth, now piss off or next time I might not just post on your board.'
Molly. This shit is unacceptable. I've put up with enough of this crap. Do something about it.
As for the rest of you, how about you stop pressurizing and bitching at players. Yes, Knecht joined Vampires. Why dont you stop giving the clan, and him, crap, and work TOGETHER, as a MUD, to create a GOOD playing environment.
ALL clans are fairly inactive. DEAL WITH IT.
I'm sorry I'm not as nice or explanatory as I usually am in posts, but damnit I'm FED UP.
You idiots are going to cost us any new players.
And I can't STAND idiots.
BACK THE FUCK UP and cut the damn drama.

Anyway. He's dropped off the face of the earth. I HAD organised for him to film the gig I shot on saturday, which would have been utterly fantastic. But he didn't show up. Which left me having to tell a national and international act that "Im sorry, I wasn't able to have your show filmed like we agreed as my filmer didn't... show up".
:/
But yes. I dont do model photography really. But shooting Jaymie is always great fun.

It will be, however I don't know when Im flying to Brisbane to do the shoot yet.
I'm not really one to model myself, nor do I think it would produce great and desired results, and I dont know any hot pretty girls over here where I now live, yet.
I knew one, but her boyfriend flipped when he found out she liked me, so no she can't talk to me anymore *snicker*
So it's prolly going to be some time before this is done...

stay_zone doesnt stop it, at least it doesnt on BP.
Vampire clan mobs on BP for example - all are stay_zone.
Yet I caught them wandering about in other zones on BP.
had to seal the exits up with !mob.
