GM sloppiness

07:52 PM

An old huntress on her way to provide for her family overhears what is said. She gasps with disgust while quickly grabbing a bar of lye soap from her backpack.

The huntress says, "Rusval, I can't believe you weren't brought up with better manners than that. Maybe this will teach you a lesson!"

She then promptly washes your mouth out with the soap and continues on her way.


The gods have instructed their assistant, the old woman, to wash your mouth out with soap. What you are saying in no way adds to the experience of the game but often offends other players. You are NOT getting an official warning at this time but rather a friendly reminder to please watch what and how you say things.

Only you will know of having your mouth washed out therefore there is no need to tell anyone else unless you wish to. Please do try to watch what you say.

swear

You squeak out an indignant suggestion involving stale tart crumbs.

EHHHHHHH, that kind of defeats the purpose of having your mouth washed out, Heh heh heh

08:40 PMI don't consider the newest verb to be of much damage to their rules, considering that you don't actually see any of the profanity.

And honestly, I almost like the SWEAR verb. Now if people would just learn to use it with some timing, instead of doin it cuz its fun...

09:17 PMYou obviously missed the whole purpose of the post. He got his mouth washed and was still allowed to use the swear verb. This basically nullifies a mouth wash.

11:00 PMUm I think he got the post, he just was stating his oppinion about it. I do not think you understand it. It still let him swear even though his mouth was blocked out. The GM's need to look into eliminating the verb while silenced with bubbles. reg
11:17 PMWell, this is what I think about the issue. Soap is an "IC" fix to an "OOC" issue. The GMs want to shut you up, they have some almighty huntress slap some Mr. Bubbles in your mug. Thus, there is no reason to eliminate the verb. It's not an RP tool, it's basically a masked OOC thing. Putting further restrictions on it is retarded.

09:07 AM Rusval just bit the dust!

Your head snaps back suddenly as a hand clamps over your mouth and pulls you backwards. Three slashes across your throat cut short any attempt to scream.

... 130 points of damage!
Wicked slash slices open your chest!
Heart and lungs pureed!
Sickening!
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
You come back into focus.
The wall of force disappears from around you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
You feel your extra magical awareness leave you.
The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.
You feel your extra strength departing.
You no longer bristle with energy.
You notice the faint image of yourself disappear.
You become solid again.
The translucent sphere fades from around you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 16 mins...
So apparently my chest and neck are one in the same? 3 slices to my neck obliterates my chest..... HMMM reg

09:23 AMHmm, someone's been talking..

Might want to bug/typo that in game. reg
