> Both denied for so called mixing fucking information. It's a stretch > Ismail, Quinthen and Omniera ask yagar if he was up for adventuring. > So i group with them, but we go to the mines of sitran, i obviously realise they are there to get shannagens lich item. > Well i didnt know how to back out easily with yagar I'll give you a few suggestions. If you were in fact thinking about backing out, it's easy. "I just saw someone who owes me something" "I have to go kill brownies, they're saying things about my mother" "My portal is torn away" "I've got a ragin case of inflamed hemmeroidal tissue" "What about frogs? I like frogs" "The force is telling me to stay in my guild" pray about it if you feel nervous; get an imms ok or gentle nudge away. "I don't like caves" "On second thought, I can't" "I'll have to depart earlier than I first thought" "My village was killed by the slavers and they kinda scare me" shape eagle, *chirp* and fly away "Why are we going here? I don't like it" "I changed my mind" >I knew the group was too small to get the item anyway, i figure i can go down for a little while. Two small? > So we did, killed a few mobs and left. Yagar was carried out perfectly as if I was not shannagen. Twist told me motive is ilrelevent *mutters* Huh? Did you get what you came for? Just get bored? Get outgunned? Have to go to the bathroom? > Then i get denied for mixing information! So i should have told the masters for the first time, "no i wont help you, that could impact on my other char". > Even if you argue what i did was wrong, killing both the chars off is a bit harsh? I'd have to be around or see a log to argue that what you did was wrong. Yeah, killing off both chars seems a bit harsh. As for having the hours "ripped" away: Several other things that do that including con-death (not too surprising), age-death, Item related deaths. Yup it stinks. > ps...I know yagar was essentially just a pker....But Shannagen was not, i put alot of effort into him. I imagine you were walking a thin line with the Tamuera/Palan/Yagar thing among others (and others and others). That it came to this is unfortunate because it doesn't appear (from not seeing a log) that this was earthshatteringly terrible.
> And Twist did it too, i thought he was the only imm that liked me. Its just too easy for 600 hours to be stripped from your life so painfully and unexpectably.
