The elfin girl hardly hears him, clearly self-involved with some thought that brings an angry expression to her pretty face. "I cannot believe," she mutters loudly enough for the guards to hear, "that my design was not considered the best." She steps coldly over the bodies on the docks without even noticing them. "But... to lose to a cheater? Aggh."Petulantly, she kick one of the corpses in the leg, and stomps off back in the direction of the academy.
Paladin characters get labeled with all sorts of unflattering adjectives all the time; it doesn't make it so, though.
Link092,Would you please clarify your grievance with what you are thinking is being implied which you are determining is uncalled for.It looks to me as though SteveMaurer is making a (wholly) in-character post (which you acknowledge) about his character's response to what took place.As you said, the issue has been addressed. Could it not be that this was his character's response to that outcome (viz, his character was not satisfied with that outcome).Also, just to make the disconnect explicit, just because a someone's character thinks that someone else's character's is a cheat, doesn't actually make that character a cheat. Paladin characters get labeled with all sorts of unflattering adjectives all the time; it doesn't make it so, though.Regards,Script Wrecked.
Ditto. To me it read as a totally acceptable and reasonable in-character reaction - apart from the kicking a corpse in Vehl bit - you know that very well could have been Arkolio.
So, in esence SteveMaurer can just ret-conn this in-character bull-crud hissy-fit about a situation his/her character wouldn't have had any in-character knowledge of in the first place. A public apology might go a long way to restore SteveMaurer's reputation as a person/player in my eyes, provided it's worded carefully and sincerely, but otherwise I'll remain rather dissappointed in this person's behavior. I'm not saying there wasn't a vallid OOC complaint in this situation, but it should never have been brought in-character. Point-blank and simple.
This is unwarranted. SteveMaurer has made an IC post to an IC situation. Nothing wrong with that.
