You played an alt. Great. You probably didn't spend dozens of hours logged onto that alt on a consistent basis. People do that on their mains, so they have a bit more time to find creepers.
The thing is! The thing is, it's like telling a guy it's his fault he got mugged because he's carrying money in his pockets. We don't think that way about muggers, so why should we shift focus away from the fact that someone is acting poorly (and I'm not talking about the siren here) to begin with, especially when the only proof we have is an anecdote that only seems to show that the odds were in your favor?
It's been said time and time again: if you come into contact with a creep, report the creep. Done, no further discussion necessary. Can this stop cropping up in every thread from RP to Rants to "What happened today" now?
Talamond Averial says, "You are the least charming siren ever."
Nah, don't quit. It goes away! Unless you are actually a sexalt, which you aren't. Just inform the jerks that you are a LADY damnit.
P.S. You are doing nothing wrong, unless you are walking around cities naked screaming "Sex me!"

I wish I were kidding. Last time I logged in, sure as the sun'll come up tomorrow, got called 'Miss' by someone selling me commodities
So rude.
Happened last year when somebody thought it'd be funny to run Belladona to Atop the Gatehouse in Eleusis and then leave her there to attack anybody who logged in or walked past (thankfully I was the one who came across her first, rather than a novice).
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
- Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
- Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
Looking forward to more good times
The war has just begun.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
I still feel like @Seragorn basically gave them back....
Description and behaviour go a loooooooooooooong way to how a person will perceive your character more so than race, age and preferred hang out areas.
I had two siren alts, it's true I didn't play them as much as people play their mains but I gave them both a fair chop.
My first alt I created purely as an experiment to see if sexual harassment was really as prolific as the forums was making it out to be. I made a Siren and purposefully placed her in known target locations (Archway of Minia, Brass Lantern Inn, the Theran Inn that I can't remember, Centre Crossing). I would sit on her for 2-3 hours a day at varying times of day (ranging from 0000GMT to 1400GMT) and see if I could lure some predators out. I only quested to get enough gold to eat and cloth her but that was it, I stayed unranked.
Her description was 'normal' she had hair, eyes, height and two remarkable features. Her clothing was just, normal. No cat ear headbands, no items that had 'sexy' or 'seductive' just a shirt, skirt, boots and cloak. I had quite a few pleasant conversations with other characters (mostly just wanting to talk an offer genuine help to a novice) but noone came running up to her screaming 'LET ME PUT MY DICK IN YOU' despite hitting the three of the quoted 'must be a sex alt' criteria.
There was one guy whose conversation was obviously trying to lead on to sexual stuff but in the 5 IC years I kept her alive I was honestly disappointed that I didn't have anything to go dibber-dob to Tecton and Sarapis when the whole point of that character was to be bait.
The second siren I still play and invest 8-12 hours a week into her. I didn't plan to use her as bait and she's been busy at work and I've been playing without any intent. She's only had two incidents of what I think were people feeling out her mudsex potential but they never were explicit or suggestive and they began talking to her because of market ads. To make a point, there has been a character that has contacted her multiple times unsolicited when she was a lot younger and was more irritating than those people and it was you, @Kiet. Bugger off with your Mhaldorian propaganda to her market ads already.
Maybe these predators just have sophisticated ways to track my I.P. adress and tell that these characters where played by me and didn't bother me. Maybe sexual predatation isn't rampant. Maybe it is and I slipped through the radar twice. But this was the point I intended to make : If you were put off making a Siren character because of things you have read on the forums, don't be. Just because you are a young Siren doesn't automatically mean you will have boys trying to stick cocks in every orifice as soon as you escape pygmy captivity.
Dear IRE,
My bank account hates you.
Just went down House members and counted all the Insidi I saw today. It looks like at least 22.
So excited to see the House coming to life a bit. That's probably the most variety I have seen thus far, let alone 11 of us present at once.
Had fun jumping in on the KoTH in Cyrene alongside Zimona, and Saea - you guys killed it.
When I retired my old main that I'd built on for +10 years, I knew exactly what I was doing when I decided to be a siren magi, because I knew exactly what artefacts I was going to be getting. I didn't want to be grook, and I've never quite been able to picture what a Tsol'aa looks like, so I went with the best option for me. And I have been propositioned by some real creepers, but thankfully for the most part it's dead silent now on that end. I love my hourglass.
I figure, if someone wants to hate me because I'm siren, that's their problem. I've got no fucks to give about that.
Wait. Someone actually thought that I gave you a loan because you 'convinced' me? lmao. That's kinda friggin hysterical. Does no one realize that I'm about as straight as a circle and have more interest in sailing than I do women? I gave you it because I knew you were good for it. You also loaned me some dosh for a mutual investment just recently. Fred and Perse are actually really friggin good friends and hunting buddies. Hell yesterday I showed her how to captain a ship and even let her complete a trade deal for 25 CR. Today? I let her captain the ship on a marque run.
Honestly, screw the people that think that Persephonia 'convinced' me. What did she convince me of? That she's a pretty trustworthy person.
PS: She paid back the 171 credits literally the next day.. or within like 6 hours. I still don't know how the she devil did it, but she did it.
FINALLY
