I'd like to thank the citizens of Zoluren for treating Hurrfy here the way it might have been done in Medieval times. Although no one called him a witch, that might be useful for next time you encounter this poor Tog.

The Story
In ye old Elanthia lived a fair Gor'Tog of strength and no mental capacity. He travelled to Crossing to make his way as a doorknob, but finding all posts in this capacity filled was directed to the Barbarian Guild since it was pretty much the same thing anyway.

Thus begins our tale of Hurrfdurrf...

The Log

[Empaths' Guild, Main Room]
This is the headquarters of the Empaths' Guild. Here healers both novice and experienced gather to share techniques, methods, the latest information on healing, transferring and application of herbs. There is a small but modern library to the east. You also see an Empath donation shelf with some stuff on it, a bucket of viscous gloop, some smoothly worked stairs of golden oak, and an Empath renown scroll.
Also in the room: Attendant Zamara who is sitting, Campaigner Barola, Kerby, Nuri who is sitting, Hurrfdurrf who is lying down, Ranger Swac who is sitting, Graknok, Waigun who is sitting, Attendant Barlow, Battle Empath Nimmi, Tydala, Initiate Empath Bridor who is sitting, Darkling Dreamricti, and Wolverine Vithero.
Obvious exits: northeast, east, west, down, out.

He has milky white eyes. He has pockmarked skin.

He has some faint scars along the chest.

His wounds are infected.

He is holding a rock in his right hand.
He is wearing an orange silk bowtie, a wide-brimmed straw hat and a large canvas carryall.

Yeah, but you're married to Nimmi.

People drink entirely too many beverages while reading the boards. Why is that? Why are do people always have a mouthful whenver they read something funny too? The odds of people spewing liquid all over their keyboard/monitor seem out of whack with what I would expect.

Anyway, this reminds me of a "gully" dwarf I had years ago. He was a moonmage. A doomsayer to be more specific. All he could say was doom. He got shot by a number of crossbows in his prime.

Kudos to you Hurrfdurff, I applaud your style.

Kurako

>> I love how silly logs like this always exclude the morons prior actions.
By all means, Socrates, enlighten us. Being privy to most of those "prior actions" I have no idea what you're talking about, because the rest of the log was pretty much more of the same.

>> Personally, I'd've thumped him a lot sooner, as well as dragged him outside and tossed a 70 mana halt at him to give those inside a break for his silliness.
If that's the in character thing for your character to do then I would encourage it. All Nimmi and Nimshar appear to have done is choose to roleplay their characters as close-minded bigots, and there's nothing wrong with that; I would venture to say DR needs more of them. After all, it's quite reasonable for people in such a setting to be distrusting or even outwardly violent toward people with mental disabilities for no reason other than that person being different. This is doubly true for Prydaens since as I recall they actually murder their young if they are born with such a disability. They pulled off their role quite well and I commend them for it.

>> A bad RP choice is never an excuse to be a dork, act like a fool, don't be surprised when you are treated as such.
Well it's a good thing we've got you around to tell us which roleplay is "bad" and which is "good." I'm curious as to what makes this bad roleplay, though. He wasn't out of character, he wasn't out of genre, he didn't do anything overtly bad at all. No one even got hurt - except him, of course.

Perhaps if people were able to roleplay characters with variety more often without being told their roleplay is "bad" because it's not what you expect more people would roleplay in general.

>>A bad RP choice is never an excuse to be a dork, act like a fool, don't be surprised when you are treated as such.

A point to mention here, look into Prydaen's and how they deal with sickly/handicapped young, could be enlightening if you wanted to go that route.

>>By all means, Socrates, enlighten us. Being privy to most of those "prior actions" I have no idea what you're talking about, because the rest of the log was pretty much more of the same.

Miss Cleo has nothing on me, I'm just that freakin cool. Just because Samsaren wasn't there, doesn't mean I didn't get to read it as it unfolded.

And finally...
>>Yeah, but you're married to Nimmi.
To take a page from my friend, the Player of Drongol, I, the player of Samsaren, am neither married, nor in any way required by some game-based bond to defend a friend from the incredible powers of silliness, whereever they prevail.

A point to make kids, Barbarians are not all frothing braindead piles of meat. The CHARACTER presented by the TOTAL of that fellas actions were rediculus, add in his deliberate moves shortly before the thump to antagonize, I'd say he got off easy. Lastly, however little you may think of my opinions, I'm finding day by day the enviroment of Dragonrealms is slowly but surely decending to ever lower depths, which, while only a small part is due to arguements like this (Not blaming the actions of the barb, if he holds consistant, rock on, just expect less then honey and strawberries in responce), as well as the continued efforts of the various griefer type folks, who seem to log on just to attack people.



Samsaren Remlane
I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, target practice on the other hand, is another matter entirely.

<<Every good story needs a villian or two>>

Completely agreed. No one sucks in this log for what they did role-playing wise because your story can only be as impressive as your opposing side that faces you. To me, this is really similar to telling a joke. It could be an extremely funny joke objectively, but if your audience doesn't laugh, your joke seems lax.

The interaction in the log was very nice all around.

>>Right, it's not a game-based bond because (a little birdy told me) you're married in real life to the player of Nimmi. Of course you're going to take her side, opressively dreary and OOC as it may be.

>>:D

My other half knows better, she knows that if she's wrong that I won't be backing her or taking her side. Of course I expect the same in return. Really has always bothered me that people do that instead of correcting or pointing out the error. (shakes head)

If he feels I'm wrong he lets me know it. There's loyalty and then there's loving someone enough to be willing to say I think you're screwing up here.

Gyfford says, "Maulem your wife is giving me a headache."
Maulem says, "Well, at least I'm not th' only one she does that to then."
[Lystid] "do you know the two most important words a married man knows?"
[Maulem] "Itwasn'tme, IsweartoKuniyo?"

Whoah! I'm married! Neat! I'll expect wedding gifts from you all, and can someone send the pictures, I seem to have lost them. As Jim said, nice thing about having a relationship with an adult you can trust, is when they are wrong, you don't have to skirt around it, you can actually tell em. But, its sure nice to know that the average little bird is still totally off base. Make sure when it tells ya the winning lotto numbers for your state, you save the dollar and not bother with it. :P

More on point though, just because a few people decide someones not being a dork...doesn't make them less of a dork. Take a moment and truly consider the world, yes, it is possible for a mute to make progress in Elanthia. A line to consider is we, the adventures, are Heroes (yeah, capitalized on purpose). We are several cuts above and beyond the average peasant, with abilities and powers to match. Could someone potentially overcome a serious problem of something like, being unable to learn a meaningful vocublary, sure. However, using such a crutch as a way to get away with potentially rude and annoying actions, not so logical. Speaking, or not, responding to a polite request with actions delibrately to annoy a few people will always cause a negative reaction, which brings me back to my first point at the beginning of this nonsensical thread, that I love how logs like the first, never include the prior stuff. This being a rather universial trend, even for the normal targets for this stuff like Ragran(who gets props for rolling with the punches, even if I'm not a fan of his actions).

Sadly, this whole thing has fallen into a depth of sadness that makes even reading it further a waste of anyones time, so I'll leave you kids to it.
P.S. Note the sig, its awfully applicable this weekend appearntly.

I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, target practice on the other hand, is another matter entirely.

No one sucks in this log for what they did role-playing wise because your story can only be as impressive as your opposing side that faces you

ya, i wouldn't have changed anything. but, to me, nimmi and nimshar were the villains was my point.

they don't include the mentally challenged in their reindeer games.

:oP Ragran

You seem to enjoy condescension yet you lack the ability (or will) to form a proper argument. Let's think about it:

<<Speaking, or not, responding to a polite request with actions delibrately to annoy a few people will always cause a negative reaction, which brings me back to my first point at the beginning of this nonsensical thread, that I love how logs like the first, never include the prior stuff.

If your point truly is that you love how logs like the first never include the prior stuff, then that's not really an issue of debate. Or of public interest. You may as well have not posted it because I'm assuming most people find that fact as uninteresting as I. If your point is that people who role-play in an annoying fashion will be responded to accordingly, then I don't understand why you've taken such a disdainful tone considering everybody in this thread seems to be in agreement with you. I've seen nothing but people agreeing that Nimmi and Nimshar were necessary parts of this role-playing experience, which seems right in line with your original post.

So please, patronize us little people with one final post to clarify how you are even disagreeing with them, that you feel it necessary to be so condescending to them. I suppose it's easy to claim yourself the champion in a battle of wits when there isn't even a debate.

LOL! I sooo didn't need that, I've managed to pull some muscles in my side from all the hacking/coughing I've been doing from this particularly nasty cold I got a few weeks ago from the kids. I've never had a cold so long nor has it been so bad that I've actually hurt myself from the coughing! So laughing is rather painful, thanks for the laugh and pain. ;p

My kids gave me that same crap! It's awful! Hope you stop coughing soon. I have been coughing for about six weeks now. Anyway back on topic...wait, I have nothing to say about that sorry.
