After being called a coward (because Xenormoph can't stop me from running apparently)

Cain raises his arms above his head, and a strange blue light begins to emanate
from between his palms.
Blue light crackles forth from Cain's palms, striking you down and snapping your
puny limbs.

Xenomorph steps down off of a blood steed.

You take out some salve and quickly rub it on your legs.
The bones in your right leg mend.

Xenomorph reaches out for your chest but his hand stops short of it.

If Xeno didn't have any arties Otha would kill him.

Otha is pretty good, yeah.

Why don't you guys take this kind of pseudo-OOC roleplaying into the actual game? If you already are doing so, then good for you.

I mean, calling out Xeno on his honour (in game) could possibly produce some more fun and engaging results for you, while not giving people this kind of precursory soap-opera-ish impression of certain characters.

I mean, this is clearly not for the purposes of a combat log, is it?

It's like there's some sort of internal struggle within Xenomorph.

"His limbs are broken! I can kill him with one strike."
"No, you are not being honourable. Don't do it, me!"
"Nonsense! Ignore that me! Purge the weak and all! Do eeeeeet!"

I get that sort of sense from him too sometimes. He challenged me to a duel way back and I got lucky with Retardation and Burst him. Afterwards, he wanted to know if I was going to keep using Retardation in future duels. When I said yes, he said I didn't need to be dueling. But at the same time, he was otherwise gracious and said well done. Never know what he's really thinking, deep down.

Xenomorph is a horrible fighter, and a hypocrit.

Why does this surprise anyone?

I killed him four times in 10 minutes a few weeks ago, all while he kept talking trash to me.

Fight 1: Xeno tells you, "15 seconds to leave or blah blah blah." He flees mid-fight to get more sileris, I end up killing him.
Fight 2: Xeno tells you,"<see above>." I leave to get a boar tattoo. I get called a coward yadda yadda (to the end that it would somehow hurt Otha's feelings?)
Fight 3: Cain/Xeno failed cripplesect.

It just humors me that someone who tries to play an 'honorable knight' would resort to a teaming instant-kill setup after calling someone a coward for doing the exact same thing they once did. The maldaathi (or at least those that RP honorable Mhaldorians (Andante, Xenomorph)) make me cry inside. Otha really has no interest in interacting with someone who so hypocritically demands respect.

Chima and Dumah on the other hand are great examples of 'honorable' duelers from Mhaldor in my interactions with them. In both cases I've had a blast winning/losing/just fighting them.

Disclaimer: The above is based on my interactions. I probably should've posted this in the rant thread.

Because people have ridiculous amount of ego attached to the ability to text-pk someone, mostly as a form of adolescent male aggression. Therefore they need to console themselves after dying by insulting whoever killed them.
Otha
From Xenomorph, since I don't believe he can post. It's only fair to show his side of the story. I bolded parts for -s and giggles.

QUOTE
On your item "1" you say I fled a duel to go get Sileris then you killed me???? This ----never---- happened. What are you talking about? You are more than likely thinking of somebody else, because that -never ever- happened to me, you are confused. Know why? I don't run out of -anything-, my rift is -stacked- more than anbodys. If memory serves correctly, we dueled at NoT, and we failed to have any sort of results, and I gave you props for getting to a stalemate, then I continued to leave you alone, not jump you based upon mark/infamy status, etc for quite a long time.

Now, item 2. there is the topic of dishonor, you my friend, went to go get a boar, get a shield, whatever, mid duel. I chased you down and attempted to kill you. If you ever at any one point would have said timeout please, I would have shown you the respect and let you. In any case, i think you notice I went rajamala late into the duel and you simply had enough, and fled into ashtan instead of taking your burst, essentially fleeing from the duel.

That is why you were to be cripplesected, because you obviously are not interested in doing an honorable duel to the death like I do, and it only goes two ways in your head: 1, you get to kill me, or 2, you will not be killed by any means and will flee instead.


Edit: Generally Xeno is a good guy. I just find it funny that knights only have to be 'honorable' when dealing with targets that stay in the room and don't move.

Well, that's kind of sad that it will get these kinds of reactions from people by calling them out on their IC honour on the forums and not in game.

...and no, I've rarely heard of someone publicly calling a knight out in game. It's a shame.

This is not possible because 1. Cain is not possible to RP with, and 2. Xenomorph is too arrogant and ooc to RP with. Any factual insults result in 'I am Lord Xenomorph blah blah'

I don't want to call out names, but it's just funny to me that "results" of IC actions like these are produced on the actual forums in situations like these. I wonder what some people are really playing this game for!

edit: this goes for both sides of situations comparative to these. People who don't wish to carry on meaningful roleplay and those who are utilizing this game as some sort of ego-booster.
Darroth
Person: You have no honour.
Knight: You don't know what honour is insolent swine, I am a mighty honorable knight and won't be ridiculed by a fool. Your opinion means nothing!

Or they just don't reply and act like nothing happened.

Exa: A knight jumped me while I was afk, told my comrades it was a duel and proceeded to kill me. No response on tell. Oh and don't even try to telling the houseleader, they don't care if their knights are unhonourable.
Boz
I've talked to Cain a lil bit IG, he didn't seem bad...only interaction with Xenomorph was the time I got cleaved randomly as I dashed to NoT headed for my wormhole, and the few times he has lunged me to death (running away from a knight by using EVADE was probably stupid..)

evade is good to run away from a Knight. especially if you wait until right after he hits you and so is off balance long enough for you to dash away from the following lunge.

If you just leave without evading, engage will hit.

I am told that engage hurts.

Engage got nerfed bad and does 1/4 of what it did. I made this statistics up. But they're close.

I guess it depends on if you're assuming that all IC actions are in fact motivated by meaningful RP reasons. However, there's also evidence that RP motivations are utterly meaningless to the IC actions of some people. They use them solely as a pretext to engage in behaviours that would otherwise be prohibited or result in punishment, and care absolutely nothing beyond that.

In this game, as in life, humans are (in general) not rational creatures, they are rationalizing creatures. Most people do not take the time to think and make a decision beforehand. They act based on what they want, then they come up with a reason/excuse after that sounds good. I do realize there are many who don't do this, but unfortunately they are not in the majority.

...posting when I'm tired is probably not a good thing. 1, arc not cleave, and 2 he says he didn't lunge me so I could be wrong. Sorry for the mixup, Xeno.

Cooper,

While I'm sure all of sapience is fascinated with your escapades about
being punished with boards by other men for being naughty instead of
honorable, and while I must digress that your leaving of Mhaldor was the
biggest blow to city morale and organization that I have seen in my 150
years+ as a citizen, and while I do pray every waking hour that the
Lords help us in our torment and desperation that has arose without you
valiantly guarding Drake Gloom with the might of 10,000 knights that
specialize in guarding stores next to a guard stacks, I must once again
remind you publicly (Public Post 18000) of your debt to Evil:

If it's a question between who is more of an idiot between Xenomorph and Cooper, it's a tough question. Xenomorph might be stupid as hell but he doesn't stoop as low as Cooper does, it may be that he doesn't have the intellect to, but... Cooper's always been the turd that floats in the punch bowl. Yeah, I vote Xenomorph the better man.

This post has my approval.
