[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 715543, member: 1194"] You asked, so I'll answer as succintly as I can. I'm angry because you are abusing your position, clockwork. You are using the supposedly unbiased Gawds who you say are representatives of their alignments as instruments to get across your personal vendettas and biases. That makes you look petty, and completely undercuts any facade of fairness you attempt to put up. But that's been known for awhile, I guess. :( But before, you stopped at simply being biased in House Rulings. Now you've gone too far - actually having "Zeus" ridicule Jade, in character?! For simply trying to survive? Hell, the only reason I had he ask for a boon is because you yourself said that we could do so awhile back. But it's not good enough for him to just say "No", he's got to make himself look dumb by misinterpreting what Quest can do, and punishing her _again_ for it. Remember, he already nerfed Quest, causing her to be crippled right after. Now, he also uses something he [b]didn't allow[/b] as the reasoning to not help her? For you (it's obviously not any attempt at portraying "Zeus") to compare Jade to Martok is frankly disgusting. Berk is freakishly obsessed with killing Jade. Jade is simply trying to survive. How you can't see the difference there is kind of strange. I will thank you, though, for not cussing or being personally insulting in your responses on this thread. And I think that's it's good that you now clarified what kinds of boons might have a likelihood of being granted. But please stop saying that "Zeus thinks that Jade and Martok are moral equals." That's YOU, clockwork, and everyone knows it. I understand that you don't like my style of play, or me, and you made that quite clear to me before the Game even started when you stripped so many things from my character build and insulted me. But that's cool, I understand - just stop trying to sugarcoat things, please. Don't say it's Zeus when it's you, and please don't have Zeus make mistakes about how Quest works and use that as a reason to have him act against my characters. And he not only didn't give Jade a Restoration (which would have been fine - I wasn't really expecting it, in hindsight) : "he" said "she" was begging, etc, and also prevented any other Gawds from having a problem with Martok's despicable actions (from other alignments' viewpoints). You've already had other Gawd's help out some players. You just had Zeus prevent the other Gawds from ever helping out Jade (not that I expected that to happen). She did not get a 1 on the Diplomacy check, so he shouldn't have gotten a worse attitude towards her. You also haven't punished Martok for being hated by the audience OR for violating Zeus' decree from the Quest (which by the rules he cannot ignore). I did hope that you would be using your own guidelines for this Game to apply (that involving the crowd well would provide player benefits), but I guess those just won't apply when I do it successfully.... :( Anyway - no hard feelings, and just use your own voice if you want to say things about the game. Don't put your personal words into Zeus' mouth. We're adults (I think) and should be able to tell the difference between players and characters. Don't blame me if you read this far - I'm just replying to your direct question. I don't twist a knife and force anyone to read my posts. Please - if you don't like me talking about the Game, just ignore it. [/QUOTE]
