Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[Kemrain]

I've been yelled at by my boss for having a woman lividly complain to her boss about me. She thinks I was rude to her, repeatedly, and apparently now I'm not allows to 'play games' on the computer. I'm unsure whether or not this means I shouldn't be posting to EN World, but as I don't consiter this a game, I don't think I'll be stopping just yet. Tomorrow I'll move the monitor so I can see the customers more easily (and they can't see what I'm doing) and hopefully then no one will know or care what I do on here.

Stupid lady, complaining and not letting me defend myself. Does she expect me to fall all over myself with joy when she comes in? I have a few ideas as to who it is, but as she's said she'll never come back, I can't be sure of much.

I'm not always a ray of sunshine, I'll admit, and where the monitor is now (it was recently moved) I have to turn 90 degrees to see anyone (bad placement) but that doesn't mean I'm being rude. People that come up and wait for me to notice them even though I can't see them at all, now THAT is rude!

Those mean old want-to-be-noticed people!

I don't know about your situation, Kemrain, but I refuse to set foot in one of the only two FLGS's in my area. When the BoVD came out, I went in to buy 2 copies; one for me and a friend. The proprieter was in a chatroom, and never bothered to even turn to speak to me when I asked if it was in. He threw his hand over his shoulder and said they were still in the UPS boxes, and if I wanted one, I had to get it myself.

Put out, I did so, and decided to buy them. I stood at the counter over 5 minutes while this guy chatted, and when I made it very clear I was ready to leave, he actually shifted in his seat so as to hide the screen from my view. I threw the books on the counter and swore I'd never buy from his store again, as well as campaign with all my might to keep my friends from shopping there.

Well, I am officially not the first to kill a PC in LEW now, nor will I ever be.

By the way, Kemrain, I wasn't trying to attack you with my post. Just wanted to clear that up.

 

[Aeson]

I started a reply but I was afraid it would sound like an attack.

Important part is she knows we're on her side and we know she was in the right.

Wow, durn it! All these critically wounded PCs are escaping my evil clutches.

Don't worry, my other character got killed in a different thread. Kind of confused about what she did, but she's dead.

Spock-esque: She's dead, Jim.

Two made you charge a guy with a polearm who had set against a charge.

So he got a readied attack and an AoO.

One of them missed, the other killed you instantly.

Long story short: Nobody would do that, not even an animal would be that stupid, and certainly I've never seen a GM force a player to do that.

Then again, I knew something was wrong when he added *more enemies* after the two rats were enough to kill us alone. I mean, I may have thrown CR 8 monsters at the level 1-3 party, but at least I *playtested* it to know that you guys were likely to win, and they wouldn't have chased you and hunted you through the day if you just ran.

Ok, at a bit over 24 hours, this is more like what I was hoping the thread would do. Much faster progression, now. Good, good!
