Man, that log goes to show why you can't be nice in a game when you have people like that.

Cooper

You both seem annoying.

Jibrix

Jibrix is annoying for asking for spars when I am a new player to Achaea and trying to raise Jibrix's standings in a house that is the most combat oriented organization I have ever had a character a member of? Funny

I want to spar, I'm trying to sort out my gear right now and I'm pretty sure you will mash me into the ground. But it's all fun.

Cynlael

So ask for spars from people on SPARWHO. It's what it's there for. Not so you avoid it completely and go around asking random people.
Also 6 days in a row, 5 of which you get no response. Learn to take a hint.

Cooper

Yes, that is exactly right. Asking someone for spars every day when they say no every day is incredibly annoying to that person.

No response or responding no? There's a bit of difference there. Sometimes it's best to take the painfully obvious route and actually spelling out to someone. Simply ignoring them doesn't always translate as you've received the message and are declining...

Cynlael

They coincidentally didn't receive your message 5 days in a row, some of the days it wasn't received multiple times in a single day? Yeah no. They don't want to spar, stop asking and use SPARWHO. Simple.

Tesha

I assumed Cynlael was afk when I asked him and he did not say anything two rl days in a row, but I stopped after he said no the third time I asked. Communication is key.

Garao

While the way Cynlael reacted was dumb, Jibrix was the first to insult, and then issued a death threat on what was only a return insult, to follow up with the non-existent "cause" claim. By all logic Jibrix was going by in their interaction, Cynlael was well within his rights to hire a Mark. Although the Mark he actually hired is pretty dubious. 

He clearly doesn't want to fight, so just leave it at that and let him be

Cynlael

Hiring 1 enemy to kill another enemy. I was tired, and wanted to sleep, and Penwize took forever to respond. Leave me alone >.>
Already admitted to Eleusis it was dumb >.>

Also don't recall you ever asking me aside from today...

Or just say no the first time and save it with all the buildup and lolblowup

Tldr: I Vaehl

Garao

I take my previous comment back after seeing this "He is the 17th ranked combatant with a rating of 200." in Cynlael's honours.  #-o

Cynlael

If I didn't misjudge my lessons after I classchanged, would've gladly sparred. Or if he asked while I was still Magi. -shrug- w/e

Tl;dr Vaehl is an awesome guy, more people should be like him.

Town centre of New Thera. (New Thera)
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. Some graffiti has been scrawled here. It reads, "Hashan touched my puppy." Awash in a constant array of blossom petals, an amber-gold metal and marble statue of Ariel, the former mayor of Thera, sits here. A marble fountain sculpted into a lifelike blossom tree within a basin sits at the centrepoint of the plaza. A small wooden lottery box stands here. There are 2 burly Theran guards here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground.  You may ENTER the WILDERNESS map from here.

LOL Hashan

I only touched them to feed them to the Humgii's and that stopped when I was fed to one!

I wouldn't call that part annoying. But first lightly asking for a spar and then immediately going down the "Rawr I'm Mhaldorian and you're filth!" route when you're being rejected seems a bit contrived and annoying. It's clear he didn't want to interact with you, so just shrug and walk off, rather than going on a token-Mhaldorian RP tangent when it's clearly futile.

You joined the combat rankings. Joining the combat rankings is saying "I want to test my combat abilities against other fighters of Achaea". Getting yourself up to 200 points in the rankings, then refusing to spar people you don't want to fight or fear you might lose against is lame, because ranked people refusing spars effectively robs others of the chance to increase their rank. If you want to be picky about whom to fight, just spar them without joining the rankings.

I understand that there are times when you have to refuse a spar because you are busy otherwise. Or perhaps you have a truedisfavour or are sick IRL or something. But you should then still extend them the common curtesy of saying "Sorry, I can't right now". Just not replying is annoying and will result in the other person annoy you in turn by continuing to ask repeatedly.

Jibrix

Jibrix felt insulted by Cynlael speaking to him in such a manner.. I am still trying to establish my roleplay for this character....Rawr !! Your filth!! was first instinct...sad panda

I remember when Wyst was still barely level 30, she used to have quite a few equal strength Mhaldorians ask for spars as part of their tasks. I'd say no, they'd push, I keep saying no and they'd come after me anyway for Suffering etc. So after I somehow managed to beat them while in Lake Vundamere (why is it always Vundamere?) they'd just leave me alone. I didn't even have Viridian at the time. They couldn't call for cause either in those old rule days Just put it down to an unwanted experience and leave it at that for the moment. Your character is working out quite well given the situation too.

What I get out of it is ... Jibrix is kind of annoying, and Cynlael has no real concept of an OOC/IC barrier, no concept of the current PK rules (THERE IS NO CAUSE. NONE. IT DOES NOT EXIST. STOP IT!), and hired a city and permanent forest enemy on dubious grounds at best.

Mark system OP.

I only have one thing about the Jibrix/Cynlael thing.

Cloudwalker @Cynlael Du'Vantae, Sapient Tempest (male Viridian Human).

He is 32 years old, having been born on the 4th of Mayan, 585 years after the fall of the 

Seleucarian Empire.

He is ranked 462nd in Achaea.

He is the 18th ranked combatant with a rating of 200.

Blade Prefect @Jibrix, Sentry of Mhaldor (male Grook).

He is 19 years old, having been born on the 12th of Miraman, 598 years after the fall of the 

Seleucarian Empire.

He is ranked 1416th in Achaea.

He is the 55th ranked combatant with a rating of 100.

Bolded are the important parts. Don't join rankings if you don't wanna spar. Simple as that.

Sena

While I was standing half-AFK south of Central Market:

Vroutos arrives from the north.

Vroutos says, "Fk u."

You raise an eyebrow questioningly.

Vroutos (male Human).
He is 18 years old, having been born on the 2nd of Aeguary, 600 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire.
He is unranked in Achaea.
He is an extremely credible character.
He is not known for acts of infamy.
He is a Peasant in Hashan.
He is considered to be approximately 0% of your might.
He is a Sightseer in the Fellowship of Explorers.

Vroutos says, "Im a paladin and i will always be!"

He is a human.
He is wearing:
 flowing purple robes, and
 a canvas backpack

You say, "You don't look like much of a paladin."

Vroutos says, "Tell me this shit one more time."

Vroutos says, "I dare."

Vroutos says, "U."

Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

You say, "You aren't in a position to make threats at the moment."

Vroutos says, "Hmm so what do u propose."

You say, "You should come back when you're a bit stronger."

Vroutos says, "How do i get out of here."

You say, "The city gates are roughly southeast of here."

Vroutos says, "Kk i ll return and kick ur ass br0."

You nod.

You say, "I'll be waiting."

Oh god that was amazing.
