Gentle Reminder

[Mímir]

Obviously blatant griefers who admit to causing grief for the sake of it should be punished, but they are already subjected to rule 0.0 or whatever the fairplay-rule is called. By articulating a 'reminder' like this, admins just legitimise whining or even reward it. Silly.

FYI many years ago I wrote long sobstories about the wicked Reavers and how they saw us all as meat bags put there for their entertainment. It annoyed me so much that I started going to conn a lot and before long I got good enough to win most fights. I never got to Yber or Haste's level, far from it, but I was decent enough to handle most situations. Everyone can do that easily if they are determined to do so, but why should they when it's faster and easier to whine on forums until you get your way. Admins, hell-bent on 'making things better', have long been useful tools in this process, since they themselves lack experience of the other side of the coin.

Also shooting IS role play and you have to forgive some of us for not really being that interested in sub-standard clichéd storytelling and dialogue. To each their own, but to me it's much more 'immersive' getting jumped by a mean pirate who is actually mean through his/her actions, rather than said person just telling me how mean they are.
