' Wrote:Look mate, I specifically pointed out that you didn't break any rules because there was RP prior to the firing of guns. It's just that it's a bit impolite. On a related note, I don't care when someone breaks the rules(Except those bigger cases of swearing, gross RP violations and such), nor do I look at the little things, as long as they make sense, but I do care about general courtesy.
Me typing out that you have a 60 second timer was meant to make it all a bit more dynamic. I moved because, well, you drained my shields and took some of my hull.
You just turned after that and finished me off. I didn't try to dodge 'cause I just said 'Screw it.'
So, let me get this straight. You're complaining that I didn't adhere to your particular style of RP? Because I didn't fit inside your little box of what I should do, you're going to complain? Because you threatened me, and I RPed with guns instead of my mouth, you're going to complain? It sounds like another case of "Lets talk about our feelings!" syndrome. If you threaten us, or at least me, I'm going to attack you. I don't know why anyone else would respond to a threat differently with this kind of character. This is an RP action. I'm sure that if I were an Outcast Sabre, and you were a =CR= Nyx, and I threatened you, you would attack me too.
Frankly, I think it's not courteous to complain about RP when a great deal of RP occurred. We RPed a lot, and I felt rather good about the entire thing. The Miner we had was a great RPer as well. Overall, today has been a great success, in terms of RP (Minus the Hessians). I don't know what more you want. I can tell you about Pitchfork's feelings here, though. She's very depressed.
' Wrote:I was perfectly prepared to fight if need be, and without fake modesty, I'd have wiped the floor with you, but it's just that I was planning to RP more prior to it, and in fact was typing as you attacked me, after which I pressed escape just to move a bit to try and let you know I'm not trying to fight just yet.
So, those lines of RP that we exchanged wasn't enough? You wanted us to spoon before we fought, too? I know, it's so attractive (I like to be the little spoon). But, in all seriousness, you didn't want to fight us when you had lain out a timer? That's just silly. What do you expect us to do?
If you weren't ready to fight, don't act with hostility. I honestly haven't the faintest idea of what you expected to happen...
And about that floor, 'eh, maybe. If you did/do/will, oh well. That's cool. But, this leads me to believe that my buddy Harlequin was right when he said:
But judging about how you said "Screw it", I doubt that you were too enthused about fighting, but, rather, were just looking for something to complain about, saw a popular Phantom, and came to see if there was something that you could complain about. I don't see a real complaint, though.
' Wrote:What I have a beef with is that all you said after my line was 'Oh?' and just attacked.
You didn't break rules, and even if you had I'd not have a beef with that precise thing, but the politeness thing (Out of RP). I'm just saying that you should've at least given me a chance to figure out that you're going to jump the gun and attack me all of a sudden by typing out a normal line..
I did give you a chance. I gave you a warning shot and almost drained your shields. You moved. That usually means that someone figures out that we're fighting. You should have noticed that I shot you a couple times and figured out that we were fighting. Honestly, I don't know what tells someone "We're fighting" more than gunshots. Again, I don't know what you want here.
' Wrote:And Akura, thing is that that char of mine doesn't even know who the Phantoms are. Running away crying would be metagamingish. Plus, you're not aware of the context. We were having a pretty friendly conversation up until one point, which is kinda why I have a beef with it. Silly things ruin an encounter.
So you made a Roleplaying decision. The consequence is that you died. Now that character knows that if he's going to attack the Phantoms, he had better be straightforward.
Also, please notice who made the conversation hostile. You were the one who took a great offense when we said that we weren't going to hire you. Looking back, I didn't even realize why you were giving us a timer to "Wipe the floor" with us until reviewing the conversation just now. All in all, I really can't recognize what you want. It looks like you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. What did you really expect us to do? Give you a job to go kill Admiral Hale or Shogun Sulu? I don't really understand what exactly is silly about me killing someone that threatened me...
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
