We dont need nooses, pitchforks or torches. I have this thing. Its a sharpened, rusty spoon. We'll just castrate him with it. And various parts of his body. IC and OOC.

Whoah, easy there Yrael...0_o'

For whoever is crying "Deal with it IC." I'm sorry for this insult, but you're being an insensitive and idiotic jerk. You should never deal with sexual harrassment, molestation, etc. IN CHARACTER.

It is a felony and a human rights violation.

RP'd rape needs to be condoned and confirmed by an admin, and even then it is very taboo and needs to be done with incredible taste.

This is not an IC violation, if there is a violation. It's a pure OOC one.

I for one would like to see someone handle a situation like this one ICly. No one has ever done it, they just go ahead bitch. Roleplay please!

Roleplaying out something like a rape should only be done with the consent of all parties involved, planning of what will/will not happen, have administrative supervision, and have some sort of clear purpose in terms of creating or advancing roleplaying.

If this had been planned OOCly and executed tastefully, I would agree, Silvanus. However, from what I can see, the person in question just decided to start being a horrible little prick to annoy people for OOC reasons.

I know. But I'd still RP it, if I were in the girl situation.

Go ahead and roleplay all you want, but it needs to be handled OOCly in addition.

I'd roleplay it by running away, getting him outcitizened and outguilded, raising a mob to slaughter him, and then hiding in a dark cave until he leaves or gets shrubbed

I have also met Alfen and he is a little creep. The Admins need to find out if he really did this and ban him if he did. RPing a rape is major sexual harassment, and action needs to be taken. Imagine how that girl must have felt, the other players are at risk too. You have a right to feel safe while you are playing Lusternia, especially if you are giving money to the company. The Admins need to bring justice before there is another rape.

Alfen is a little creep. Everytime he sees my alt he asks her to take a walk with him and makes a general nusiance of himself until I get sick of it and tell him off. I have no trouble believing he did something like this. He just hangs around the newbie portals asking every female character he meets to take a walk with him. Guess now I know for sure (though I had a pretty good idea) what he expected to go on during that 'walk.'

Estarra, can we please pike Alfen's living body inside of the portal of fate, with his mouth sewn shut, just writhing in agony for eternity, as an object lesson in the seriousity of the stance of IRE on sexual harassment? I mean, look what happened to Pain in Achaea, and that wasnt one thousandth as severe as this.

What happened to Pain? And for what? I didn't hear about it. *curious*

As much are you are harking about this, I'm beginning to wonder if Alfen has harassed you too. Seriously now, I think everyone needs to step back, take two breathes and repeat after me: Lusternia is a game. With that done, I'd like to point out that the administration always handles issues of this nature promptly and if the person in question objected to Alfen in any shape or form, he or she could have reported and Alfen would be all bushy by now. If said person did not feel that it was important to report then who are we to say it was?

EDIT: In Aetolia, I've seen -far- nastier things roleplayed by some rather interesting/sick people.

Alfen is very forward. Personally, I think that if he's going to be walking around, the new young ladies need to be forewarned. It took me 3 'months' to shake the creep. The only way to avoid his advances is to avoid him entirely.

Which is rather hard to do, since he stands there in the middle of the portals, usually in plain view of the guides. Any novice girl who appears and heads to the Newton portal room or the City-Commune room gets harassed in tells by him.

"Hey! Want to go on a walk with me?"

"A walk where?"

"Oh, through the caverns."

That's basically what he said to my alt. Then, I wanted to see what he was up to, so I agreed. He said to meet him at the portals and follow him, so I did. Then he heads into the fink caverns, and starts getting emote happy with snuggles, licks and rubbing.

"Oh, sorry. My guild just announced that they're having a novice meeting, and it's required that I attend. Sorry!"

Quick exit out of there.

Or you could just say "no" to begin with and leave him. A while back, someone sent me a tell saying hi, then introduced himself and then asked me if I wanted to "meet" him. I simply said no, and that was the end of it.

This is why I don't play female chars anymore.

Are the Divine doing anything about this?

Just hunt the idiot. Have you guys bothered to talk to his guild? It's a GAME, roleplay it out. It's not like he's harassing people OOC with "a/s/l plz"

All I hear is whine whine whine. He's a novice... throw him at Spindle if necessary, but this is an IC thing that needs to be handled there.
