Was aether shopping to admire designs. Stepped into the Twisted Spire to inspect a particular item.

Jozen moves over to block the out exit.

Your masochistic tendencies go into remission.
Izekeal appears to play a black ash lute, but you hear no sound.
(p) 6430h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-
That is not a valid design command.
(p) 6430h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-

"May the Threnody lead your soul astray." sings Izekeal, while a black ash lute lets loose with
screaming melodies, and he looks directly at you.
(p) 6430h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-

Sweat breaks out on Izekeal's forehead, as he continues to maintain the screaming note of his song.
Ghostly spiked bands materialize around you, which slowly begin to spin and screech like rusty iron
cogs.
(p) 6430h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-

(m&m): Careful: Izekeal still has Deathsong on you! Become deaf, fear them or run.


Jozen gives you the once over.
(p) 6430h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-

Sweeping an etched-platinum klangaxe through the air overhead, Jozen sends it whooshing straight
towards your left leg. Your left leg is elegantly struck and swept out from under you, knocking you
to the ground.
You are afflicted with sprawled.
Glands in your mouth secrete mantakaya from your bloodstream, and you store the poison under your
tongue in readiness.

(Izekeal deathsong you) Izekeal brings the killing note of the song to a screaming conclusion.
Harmoniously screeching with each rusty turn, the spinning spiked iron bands close around you, and
you can only scream as you are chopped into a bloody puree.
(Izekeal deathsong you) You have been slain by Izekeal.
(Izekeal deathsong you) (p) 0h, 4200m, 4800e, 10p, 29400en, 18900w esSilrx-

You tell Transformational Izekeal, Insidious Lord-Crescendo, "Why PK me in a manse shop?"

Izekeal tells you, "It's a Mag shop."

Izekeal tells you, "And you're an enemy."

You tell Transformational Izekeal, Insidious Lord-Crescendo, "That's lame."

Really? Griefing a non-com in an aether shop may be fair game... but seems lame IMHO.

EDIT: Hope this act helps inflate your ego.

EDIT: Buyers beware!!

You claiming to be a non-com is just sad. You are a demi, a member of your guild's security and an envoy.

You are about as fair game as it gets.

Not quite as sad as two people jumping you while you are minding your own business and shopping in an aehtermanse, but still pretty sad.

I enjoyed reading this.

this thread has potential.

(in before Eventru)

Envoy doesn't equate to combatant. Look at the stability of monk envoys over the past two years. I am envoy because I am stable... And generally write half-decent reports.

Being demi doesn't equate to combatant. I grinded and aetherbashed for three years; two of them without a system and manualy curing.

Your "sad" comment is simply misguided.

Ixion:

Bwahaha, me too. Good job, Llandros!

All I have to say is that I agree with Janalon. 'Kudos' to Jozen and Izekeal, there.

Lame. That's just low. Go gank somebody who fights. Love you to try that on me, Izekeal.

Edit: Also, for the record, just because somebody is envoy and security means nothing. How often do you see the guy fighting? Like... never.

Heck, because someone is Champion dosn't necessarily mean anything. We've had some champions that couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, just so we could have one to use the champ only privs. We've had security in place just to turn on liveforest, otherwise there wouldn't be anyone period.

Seriously now... What is there in place to inform or protect a player against entering a shop from the aetherplex that may also be linked to an enemy org?

Nothing, unfortunately. I guess knowing the owner.

Unprovoked attacks against non-coms are low. Attacking them 2v1 is lower. Ganking players that have no chance to defend themselves isn't fun for anyone involved, unless the attackers get off on being jerks.

Just because somone decides to abuse game mechanis or take advantage of positions they don't deserve doesn't mean that they don't open themselves up to the related consequences.

You see somone just out the portal, not enemied to anything you can see, then you really shouldn't mess with them.

You seen a well established character, listed as security, as a guild leader, an envoy and is enemeid to your city then that's a different story.

Attacking people doing their shopping is lame. If you don't want people in your manse you can change the privs. Creating a death trap for them instead is not cool.

Pretty lame, yeah. Unfortunately, nothing out of the ordinary.

I can see where this thread is headed. Let's just leave it at that and stop posting, eh?

Man, the Magnagoran grief squad is really getting riled up for some reason. Even I got jumped the other day, and good luck trying to count me as a combatant. My enemy statuses are from village influencing.

I wish I got jumped.

Walk around in neutral territory alone without a cloaking gem and wait. Someone's gotta do it.

I got jumped once after I had seduced a buttload of things in the room. So I shielded until the jump-er ran away. They also used via to jump me, first time I had seen it used for anything semi-serious! It is a cool message, but not so useful.

Rivius:

Cloaking gems are requisite for aether shopping?

Are we talking neutral avenger-protected here or neutral offplane, cause if I stay in the latter, I'm more likely to get ganked by multiple people.

Which I guess is the point, maybe.

Edit: Also what Janalon said.
