I was just a chillin...not really in a bloodthirsty mood, hell its christmas, walking through galadon and hay! What do I see! A person in range just sitting there...so I just mosey on over to take a peek. Damn...he is naked. But he is just sitting here...then I hear him acting like an asshole to others in the room...even though they MAY or MAY not be waiting to pit loot him. Being a good southerner I cant stand a pissant...so what would any selfrespecting man do...exactly...I handed him his ass. Then here comes the barrage..."You are dishonorable" "You need to work on your RP" "Your RP sucks if this is it" "I am not bitching, I just want to know why" all that shit...each one making me want to do what? Exaclty, kill the bastard again. Here are a couple of rules. 2. Do not tell people their RP sucks, and use "OOC" when yelling at them. Not only does it ruin every arguement you have against them, it makes you look like a retard. It is possible to roleplay that you are pissed about dying (go figure). But going OOC doesnt help your fight. 3. On the rare occassions you actually ask someone why they killed you, and they are willing to take time to talk with you, that in pure essence is RP, some stronger than others, but it is. Do not sit and bitch at them. All you do is warrant another future asswhipping, one of course you will recieve and again bitch at the person about, making him want to kill you yet again...and again...soon this gets expensive on the ol constitution. Basically people. Your best bet is to just suck it up and take it. Be pissed, sure, but learn from your mistakes. I tried to help this person I nailed, but he had no interest in listening. CF is a tough place...wear a cup. As an aside...I know most of the people that read this forum are of the more mature CF stock, beyond the stage of what I describe...but I want to end with another short rant. Dont you hate it when everybody assumes that you are honorable? That for some reason honor means anything to you? That being called dishonorable at times is stating a fact, and is nor offensive? Or that by calling someone dishonorable when they did something honorable to them may get your ass handed to you? RANT OFF... Damn, my skin is too thin...I need to not let these little worms get to me so...then again...it is fun to imagine a kid sitting at his computer almost pissing himself because his little internet character just got whacked. I can see the little tear in my mind forming on his cheek...then anger sets in, and things he would never say to his mother being pouring from his greif quivering lips...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH...damn...I am bloodthirsty..now where is that asshole I axed.......... From Winston-Salem...happy holidays. Merry Christmas, and happy asshole hunting! Alex
1. Sitting at the dark temple naked bitching and moaning to all those around you is not smart. At least get an orcish sword or something. But dont be naked...the game gives you a few minutes of invincible time Use it.
DO not expect the person who just killed you to suddenly say "Oh...you know, you are right...I am so sorry...please forgive me...here I will take off all my gear, give it to you, and you can kill me so we can be even." It WILL not happen.
This honor thing has gone too far. Some there is no rule that everyone must be honorable in CF. It just makes those who are stand out a bit. Besides, honor is alot like good and evil. What is honorable to me, may not be to you. EXP: Hitler thought what he was doing was good and honorable. Most everyone else in the world disagreed thinking him evil and dishonorable. This is my exact point.
So newbies...just stop. If you die, die, take time, grab some gear, and then whip the guys ass. In the entire history of CF there has been no character killed by bitching at him, and vengeance has never been achieved that way. So...take some advice. Bitching is asking to be killed, over and over again. Dont complain to the immortals, because as soon as you do, you are probably going OOC...a thing they look down upon.
As cador used to say, you cant accuse someone of being ooc without being ooc yourself.
