Never underestimate the power of Lolwutters

[Marburg]

Well said Ron:cool:

Y'know, one good experience on the server can erase a dozen bad ones.

When I was new, I was running alot of pot from Islay to planet Harris, & occasionally I'd get blown to smithereens for ignoring the RP that was being attempted towards me.

I didn't grasp the whole rep thing & figured that if I could land on a place, it was cool to do so...& always got pissed when some guy would fly up talking like a cop & getting in my way.

I specifically remember berating one guy for it & in essence told him to drag his overly geeky a** back to his mothers basement, throw away his Gandalf robes & try harder to get a life.

...The dude never broke character

I ran into him the next day on the way to Harris & said more mean & nasty things

...The dude never broke character

I ran into him a couple days later & did the same thing again

...The dude STILL never broke character, but this time, he mentioned basically that I am a wanted man & that the others in his faction have orders to kill me on sight.

That got my attention long enough to shut me up & wonder what the hell these sewing circle geeks were saying about me, & that is how I finally found my way to the forums.

It took a while, but things like rules, reps & RP finally started to sink in.

Anyway, being the primary system I spend most of my time in when I'm actually on the server, for the record, it bugs the snot out of me to hear about lolwuting in Edinburgh, but it ain't the end of the world. Just don't ever break character around 'em & you may actually get through to one of 'em

Also Teny, I really do think it's funny in this case that even though you have a history of railing on the admins when they do something you don't like, you're also very quick to run straight to them when someone else does something you don't like.

about 95% of everything that happens on this server can be handled without any admin intervention whatsoever.
