[QUOTE="gillette, post: 2559748, member: 38083"] I could not have said it better myself! If I had a nickel for every time someone has come up to me with no reason, no provocation whatsoever and tried to get me to duel, fight, or whatever, I'd buy myself a server. Hey, I love the dynamic of good, evil and neutral characters mingling in someplace like the tavern. My only hope is that those characters have some reason for doing what they do, even if I and my character don't understand it. All too frequently, I feel like I can almost see the [B]player[/B] complaining of being bored, angry or whatever and just looking for someone to take it out on. Sadly, I must admit my roleplaying in settings like the CRT has changed drastically over the last six years or so because of this exact thing. Mostly at the urging of my friends, I no longer just go with the flow of any unknown person's actions or events if I can't see at least some sort of character choice behind it. Believe me, I wish I could, but I've learned that a lot of the players on the site don't have the attention span to deal with events that don't resolve themselves in a few days. They play an evil or callous character, for example, and can't understand why a whole [B]month[/B] later, Gillette still hates or avoids them. Hello, people! If you are going to play evil or just rude (yes, I'm guilty, I know), expect consequences! They may not be bowing, scraping or cowering in fear, perhaps none of the 'glory' some who play evil seem to crave, but there will be reactions. At least, I promise you Gill is reacting. You just may have no idea what she's saying and doing to your detriment. Because I prefer to play all those lovely shades of grey between the good and evil. :smirk: [/QUOTE]
