Lol. Joke's on them. I don't log in for more than 5 minutes at a time anymore.
I'd also post the entire interaction, but it was boring and stupid because I was the only one able to come up with an insult besides "f- off" or any variation thereof.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

The "f-off" was what I considered to be an effective way of communicating with someone who a.) does nothing but insult people without provocation and b.) does not understand what, "Get out of my head." means.

ETA: Just to clarify .. you log in for five minutes a day to do nothing other than insult a new player for making polite inquiries concerning policies of the city you represent in an official capacity, before logging out and bitching on the forums? You could save time by just changing your avatar to some picture with the caption, "I'm a jackass." and cut out logging in altogether.

Dude, I'm not going to break character and be pleasant to some random Ashtani noob because you feel that I should be. I'm really a pretty nice guy IRL and that's how Mosr started, but he's evolved in such a way that makes him a pretty unpleasant person to speak with unless you're Targossian and even then, not an idiot that bounces around snuggling everything.
Also, this is the memorable quotes thread, not the ranting thread. You should probably figure out what bitching actually is.

While in general I agree with you, being too rude to a novice is pretty much a dick move, no matter where the novice is from. You want to make them stick and roleplay, not scare them away with insults.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
Finally hit 133, and after an hour and a bit I haven't gained a shred of xp. Send in an issue, and I get this!

Feathery Fantabulitation is my favorite, although the very last certainly leaves a firm impression.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Make level 140 flagged to no longer give experience after, say, 11%. Don't tell him that, just call the level "Penwize's Wild Ride".
In about three, four days, the problem will solve itself.
Level 140 is pretty much impossible now. It'll take him 7 years to get 134. Another 6 levels? He'd be retired by the time he got to 140, if they didn't slow down even more.

"About three, four days" is a carefree jaunt for Penwize. He's like a monk meditating under a waterfall of trucker pills and Mountain Dew.

I don't see why somebody should feel compelled to water down their own roleplay just because they're dealing with a novice. It's made pretty clear that Achaea is a strict roleplaying game, people who come here should expect every interaction they have to be with another character, not another player.
@Antonius - if he is role-playing an emotionally damaged, sour old man with Tourette's Syndrome, then yeah.. the interaction made a lot of sense. No one is asking anyone to 'water down' their role-play. I just personally don't think, "Throw insults at anyone who is not a citizen of Targossas." is very well though-out, deep, or stimulating role-play. *shrug*

Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."
Well, if they don't want to come up with a name for it, that would work. Then it'd take more than a lifetime to get there.
