Hate

The icy pummelling of the hailstones is too much for you to bear, and you die in
freezing misery.
You have been slain by Rhona.
You become visible once more.
You come back into focus as the blur illusion vanishes.
The phantom shadows that plague your mind are lifted.
You gasp with the realization that Rhona has reached the level of Eminent.
The corpse of a hulking three-horned bull falls out of your inventory.
The corpse of a hulking three-horned bull falls out of your inventory.

The corpse of a hulking three-horned bull falls out of your inventory.
The corpse of a hulking three-horned bull falls out of your inventory.
A bog myrtle leaf falls out of your inventory.
A sparkleberry falls out of your inventory.
A swirling force begins to tug at your soul and the world spins around you.

You are dead and cannot do that.
0h, 4660m, 7972e, 0p esSix<>-
You are dead and cannot do that.
0h, 4660m, 7972e, 0p esSix<>-
You are dead and cannot do that.
A lifeless plaza.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. A rainbow halo surrounds a
crystalline power node that pushes up from the ground here. A subtle aura of
blue flame emanates healing energy from a shrine of obsidian stone. A massive
eagle perches here, silently preening its midnight-black plumage. Crackling with
blue lightning, the Handmaiden of Shakiniel hovers in the air here. The twisted
remains of Athana lie here. There are 11 corpses of a hulking three-horned bull
here. A bog myrtle leaf lies on the ground. A sparkleberry glistens darkly on
the ground.
You see exits leading southwest and northwest.
0h, 4660m, 7972e, 0p esSix<>- < 17:30:13.250">
Person spits in your face.

...

Later...

(The Saitama House): You say, "Person?"

(The Saitama House): Person (from Celestia, Plane of Light) says, "Please don't speak to me here. I only joined for Yuni and kari."

(The Saitama House): You say, "Alright I suppose, I thought this was an OOC clan."

(The Saitama House): Person (from Celestia, Plane of Light) says, "Turning this off."

------------------

Okay things like this really affect me on a personal level because I usually consider myself to be a reasonable person..so I'd like some feedback from everyone. Do you all think I play Athana's character so intensely that it causes people to hate me as a person. I -really- don't want to be so much of a burden that I actually invoke OOC hate from others... sad.gif Please let me know if you (mostly players with Celestian characters) think I should scale things down because stuff like this really hurts me...


NOTE: Rhona isn't the 'person' she just got the last hit on me
Shamarah2006-05-24 00:56:48
That person obviously takes things way too seriously. You're a very nice person for an icky taintscum happy.gif
Marcalo2006-05-24 00:56:58
no I don't believe so, Athana IMO is just like Ialie one of those people who everyone can like. ya you help fight and have made some enemies, but I don't think you play her so that people have a real reason to go OMG I HATES HER PLAYER! If they actually feel like that, they are the ones who need to unplug from the game for a while and take a break.
Revan2006-05-24 00:58:29
No, I just think that person doesn't have a sense of IC/OOC difference. Athana is nice to most everybody, enemies included (why? tongue.gif). That person probably just has a stick up his arse. Ignore him, Athy.
Rhoan2006-05-24 01:00:26
Anyone who takes their hate of a character to the player itself needs to take a step back and think to themselves "Hey this is a GAME! That person over there is just playing their part, like I am playing my part." If you can't seperate fantasy from reality, I know some good head shrinks.
Vesar2006-05-24 01:02:09
Yea, that's pretty lame. Shame on Person. I never saw a "Person" following me, though. Weird!
Unknown2006-05-24 01:06:36
Having fought against you and even been betrayed by you (when you left for Mag waaay back when), I'd say that you are probably TOO likeable as an enemy tongue.gif
Vesar2006-05-24 01:10:12
Yea... I agree. I jumped you once and you killed Vesar and apologized for it!
Shiri2006-05-24 01:23:12
I can't imagine it being your fault, to be honest.
Unknown2006-05-24 01:37:17
I sympathise with you.

But alas, there will always be assholes. You have no idea how much crap I have to go through on a daily basis. Of course, I am far less likeable than Athana, but even with that proportion we must remember that idiots just happen.
Ialie2006-05-24 01:47:12
I usually get spit on by random novices from Glomdoring and Mag just because I'm Seren and I disgust them or something, but that doesn't have much to do with this. If that happened to me Athana I would feel horrible sad.gif

Rowena is such a bad influence. sad.gif

No Glomdoring people should be spitting on anybody else!
Hazar2006-05-24 01:51:06
Psssh. This is why they invented the SNUB command, Athana. Some people take things too seriously. You're from California. You can do better then that.

I don't mind Aerenna, i just rip on her cause it's fun and she takes it so hard....talk about waving a red flag at a bull
Unknown2006-05-24 03:30:44
Leave the game so I can raid Angkrag! And take Ildar, Ildaudid, Mederrach, Telrath, Revan and Daevos with you. Thanks.
Terenas2006-05-24 04:47:35
Personally, I think the person is just horrible at separating IC and OOC.
Unknown2006-05-24 05:20:11
Now, I don't know "person" but that is beside the point. There is little you can do to keep from having at least a few people in rival orgs upset with you. Athana, there is little to do but steal yourself, and ignore it if someone else takes it to far. This is a game where people benefit the most when they disadvantage others.

As for IC-OOC separation, I'd blame the OOC clan, not 'person'. Then again, I've said I don't know 'person' so they could very well be horrible at it anyway, however the ooc clan is not helping, I'm sure.
Unknown2006-05-24 06:09:46
Maybe it wasn't OOC hatred?

If 'Person' was treating the clan as IC, then that may be all there was to it?
Richter2006-05-24 06:25:04
No, you're very likeable out of the game (well, in it too wink.gif ), don't worry about it.
Anisu2006-05-24 08:57:01
the only thing you should change is from being mag to going Celestian!

You aren't doing anything bad and I think most of us can seperate your character from the person behind them.
