Of men behaving badly

[Auscia]

This is a good example of how some players really rile me up - no manners, and complete and utter lack of respect for your fellow players. Despite being a chat log about what happened to my guild mates, the issue of disrespect is not limited to this certain event - people playing on this server sometimes behave inconceivably badly.
But, since this was directed against my guild members, I'll take this somewhat personally. If any of you knows who this Kaylos fellow is, please let me know - I'll reward you with a nice, warm smile

Anyway, the situation is this: as is typical for our guild of roleplayers, we're calmly and quietly sitting in a bar in Tir na Nog, simulating the everyday life of our characters: drinking beer and telling tall tales about bravery in war, when suddenly...

...and so on. There's more, but I think you get the idea

 

[Lessurl]

Sounds like the type of person /ignore was invented for.

 

[Auscia]

Heh.

Way ahead of you, Les

 

[Whandall]

Get him to the court and he shall be banned from the city or at least prisoned!

 

[Blade10]

Public flogging seems in order to me. Grrr.

 

[oblivion_6]

man it always amazes me why so many people try to mess up other peoples fun in the game

I guess it just shows that even though this is a game evil people still find a way to upset others.

Im guessing the dude was abused or something and feels inadequate and wants to be accepted by others hence his attention seeking shite

id be tempted to inform his guild get im kicked then tell all alliance leaders not to allow him in

i personally will be tellin HoF not to let him in

 

[Chameleon]

Very poor show Keylos! Let people enjoy the game, the way they want to enjoy it!
Maybe it's an age problem?

 

[drummer]

OMG

 

[llixeraxu]

I wanna know how Keylos found out!!

******************

Nice to see both Sable and you going strong. Possibly one of the very few reasons i would ever return to DAoC!

 

[Faeldawn]

Sounds like a classic cry for attention, the kind of thing 4 yr old kids do, well, at least you can /ignore em

 

[elerand]

Either he is totally retarded or....well just retarded I guess, how hard is it to leave people alone ffs

Guess some people are anxious to try tricks in game that would earn them a trip to A&E IRL, spending several hours leaking vital fluids from a trolly in a cold hallway

Such antics would easily earn this guy a bit of lead where I live but he wouldn't have to worry, Homerton hospital docs are some of the finest gun trauma medics going in London

 

[Erekrose]

Hmmmm <notes down inbred & kindred for future poetic oportunities>.

Seriously though that guys just a prick. Hes what /ignore was invented for.

 

[Gorguss]

Can't see any real problem, just /ignore them as soon as you find out that they are pricks with the brain capasity of a 3 year old.

No problem really..

There are arses everywhere, imho Hibernia is pretty lucky to have so few

And rename the thread to: "Of children behaving badly".

I do. Occasionally after first shaming them into shutting up.

My gripe is that pricks like this always eventually find someone who's day they can actually ruin, because some people just get too embarrassed to react. Taking abuse constructively is a good survival skill, but it shouldn't be required to play the game.

I expect tht's Auscia's main reason for posting this -- just because we can stick up for ourselves doesn't mean we sould let pricks like this wander about, free to harrass people who can't.

And Llix, if you ever get back, give us a holler.

 

[Dodgy Geeza]

Yeah, its a shame that some people have nothing better to do...
Obviously has problems in r/l, you know - has no g.f, bad breath, dresses badly, has no friends, no personality, etc... /flame off
hehe

[Erekrose]

Couldnt waste the rhyming opportunity & wanted to try my hand at limericks, so.................................................

Well now the poor old members of Kindred,
They were Interrupted by a guy calling them Inbred,
Well his name was Kaylos,
And for him we don’t give a toss,
Now lets all make sure his DAOC future is dead.

 

[Auscia]

Haw!

Couldn't put it more accurately if I wanted, Erekrose
Culling people like Kaylos is a sensible idea in every way I can imagine, and they most certainly aren't limited to online playtime. But, like Sable pointed out, it's not just about my guild having to face idiocy in its purest form, or specifically about Kaylos's bad behavior. I'm talking about showing some semblance of manners in general, to each and every player online. Although experience has shown me that expecting things to get better is as futile as wishing upon a star, I'm still keeping that small kindling of hope. But, as experience has shown, I'll be let down again, probably sooner than later.
Still, I can dream
