[QUOTE="Jardel_Karabella, post: 2558617"] Your ultimatium was: [i]Someone come over and heal my character now or I will make my character slowly and painfully die infront of you![/i] That means, I have to stop what I'm doing, come over, use a healing power/device/process on you and hope you decide it's enough. Then if I want to make some vague attempt at realism talk to you about it, because I doubt anyone who uses this tactic would be happy with a driveby cure light wounds. Infact experience tells me such people generaly keep having more and more wrong with them so long as they get attention. Yes it is wrong to ignore someone because they are new. It is not wrong to ignore someone because they are trying to bully you into roleplaying what they want. Newbies can be excused for not knowing the ins and outs of the setting, they can be excused for not understanding exactly what is happening, they can be excused for having wierd screen names and not knowing how to private message or emote. They can be excused for any number of ignorances about the site. They cannot be excused for lacking basic courtesy or respect for others. And what would that have taught them: That the proper way to come in and get attention at Wizards is to emotionally blackmail people into coming and helping you, that doesn't make for much of a regular roleplayer. This is what I mean by a Guide to entering ISRP. A quick little summary for newbies, link provided either on the main page or the sign up page, which outlines to them what things work and what don't. That way they can be given suggestions on how to make a good first impression, make friends and learn the right things from word go. [/QUOTE]
