[QUOTE="Felix, post: 2931262, member: 3929"] Nothing but sarcasm. You guess wrong. If it's an evil campaign that I was running, I would immediately make the Paladin an unplayable PC choice. If you did all suggest to him not to, good on you; the DM still should not have allowed it: as soon as the Paladin figures out you (if not other PCs as well) were Evil, he'll have to leave anyhow. More sarcasm. Were I to tell you that you are wrong and I hate you, I certainly wouldn't use these boards to do it. The problem I had with your post was your off-handedness with which you dispatched the new player's PC (not that you shouldn't defend yourself) and proceeded to cry, "Calmuny!" You didn't understand why he would attack, but his reasons for attacking were obvious and fairly understandable. When werk responded with the mild reservations about your game that he had, you responded with sarcasm similar to that which I've quoted above. Perhaps I've earned it, but certainly werk did not. That is what I found response worthy: why did werk rouse your ire? Land of the free, what what? I wouldn't enjoy it, no. I might apprise foiks of that, but I'm not going to stop you either. That makes me the "Sergeant Major of Gaming" and the "Arbiter of Fun"? I live in Virginia. We only have hills, and not real mountains. Or you were being sarcastic again. And in a Good game, yes. Saduul should be brought to bear for the murder of 1000 people. Were I to try to do that in-game as the new player did, then instead of rolling up a paladin I would create a rogue/assassin. I can then be Evil, fit in, and work towards your death (in the same way you had worked towards the death of that assassin's employer and generals). I submit that this style of Evil character would fit right in with your group. What you did at your session was not wrong, just something I don't enjoy. What you said to the new player [i]might[/i] have been wrong, and if you resort to sarcasm in speech as quickly as you do online, I wouldn't be suprised if the new player tried twice more because of that. So, no. I have not decided I am the Ultimate Judge. Or the Sergeant Major. Or the Arbiter. Please cease the exaggerated sarcasm. Now, that's not nice. This is not nice either. It is also a direct insult, which I have never directed at you. I might dislike your gaming style and your portrayal of the events, but I am permitted to both maintain and post those opinions. What I would not be permitted to do on these boards is call someone a "braying Jackass"; that wouldn't be nice. I don't like your style of play, no, but then neither do I like cafe-lattes. Doesn't mean I'll stop others from drinking them. But when you get on the case of somebody who posts that there might have been a few oddities in what you did, [i]then[/i] I'll cry foul. This whole bit started with werk's suggestion that fun is good, but only as long as [i]everyone[/i] is having fun. And it sure didn't sound as if the new player was. If he's decided your group is worth sticking with, good for him. Have fun. But to create three characters specifically to kill a PC, that sounds like someone who isn't enjoying himself. As long as you're not having fun at other's expense, game on. I suspect you might have for that first session. Sarcasm. I'm sorry Warlord, but I think there are some problems, not with the way you game, but with the rapidity with which you lash out with sarcasm at folks who disargee with you. Furthermore, this last bit of yours is somewhat awkward for me to respond to: you cannot tell me what to do, but then, I really don't care to continue a conversation with you; unfortunately, not saying something would seem like I slunk off because you told me so. So shall we say that I'll not bother you again if you return the favor by not being as sarcastic in the future? [/QUOTE]
