Shattered Kingdoms

You(the plural you) choose to take this discussion to other levels, not me. I bring arguments and everything that is needed for a healthy gameplay discussion on the skill named taunt, but you all [REDACTED] and whine about me as a player(how I should be sitebanned, how I should rage delete and all). Or you simply ignore what I point because you are afraid your buddy imm's image might get hurt or whatever.

Not my problem if you lack the intelligence and education that is needed for a proper conversation. I guess that's why it turns to be a waste of everyone's time.

I have been more than courteous with you. You have sworn at me and failed to listen to me, a person in authority in this little world. I may not be perfect but there's definitely one thing I've been with you and its patient. There have been repeated times where I could have punished you, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I never did anything to **** you over. However, you may be earning a forum ban for cussing in Gameplay. Please refrain.

Do you want me to paste our tell discussion here for everyone to see Achernar? Do you want me to post how you claim that Dulrik believes you shouldn't be able to want out of taunt(something that he didn't support in this thread)? Do you want me to post you how you refused to undo the damage you did to my character for doing something you thought Dulrik agreed with but you were wrong all along?

So what was the reason behind you [REDACTED] up my char and my game experience as a player? Oh right, OOC cliques or whatever. You certainly were no unbiased moderator, else you'd at least wait to hear Dulrik's opinion first and you'd have the decency of sending a tell to my char about the possible consequences of your tweaks(aka [REDACTED] my char's items).

The person in authority in this little world has no authority to [REDACTED] up the players in a total fascist way for no valid reason at all. At least that's what I think. If I am wrong, please tell us of what really happens to the imms of this game so we can all know and not bother much with these threads.

So, if calling you Mussolini is cussing for you, you may call it like that. To me it seems you have studied well the work of Gentille and you excel in it.

For whatever contribution this opinion may be:

When you enter the ethereal plane, your (now ethereal) existence still can't leave the room while you are taunted. This is still giving the swashbuckler the chance to either keep you taunted until your ether-spell wears off, or have his friends dispel you.

When you leave the room, though, you strip him off his options.

I think this is the way it makes sense, at least balance-wise.

But I am afraid that this conversation has already slipped its weight from actual gameplay discussions to a flamefest (from all sides) so... *shrugs*

Check out what Achernar said in the bug discussion thread(that I quoted some pages ago) to see why your logic is wrong.

When you enter the ethereal plane, you avoid damaging the swashbuckler and you only care for your char's safety. According to him(and on his theory Dulrik, but in reality not so much ) your char should have no will to cast such a spell or activate such a device. That's the idea of taunt. That's why you can't quaff a WoR potion(unlike when hit by BoG's nimbus for example).

And mechanics wise speaking, the swashbuckler can't harm you really when you turn ethereal unless he has access to the scripted items that can make him ethereal too. I've explained earlier tactics that will either break taunt or make you leave the place faster than a swashie linking taunt attempts on you(because spam taunt lags him, unlike spam quaff word or spamming a direction).

I posted the way I see it and hoped you would try to read through this, not in an effort to simply make a come-back, but understand my opinion. I see now that it's far too late for that, as it is too late for those who oppose your opinion to see any right in it. This thread is over for me.

Best option is ban him for his lack of respect for you ICly & OOCly. He deserve no less.

You have some serious issues with me, right?

Go see a psychiatrist, it will do you good. You might even get a chance to sleep well at nights.

As soon as you admit that you have serious issues with admitting you are wrong once again.

I am 100% right, especially in that issue.

No matter what Dulrik's opinion is finally, I win. This is a win-win thread, and so far I've laughed hard at all you people being incapable of presenting a single logical argument in the discussion.

But I've laughed harder reading Achernar's posts and mocking him for his fascist ways in public.
