hmmmm....Well, I can't figure out if I'm being 'fussed' at or supported here. LOLOL

All I know is that I get tired of certain role-playing where character change is all too rampant and, after several attempts to get said roleplayer to stop 'ubering' so we can all go back to playing regularly, said individual would not, so I quit. I don't like uber-playing. Then I'm followed around with explanations of how this individual is NOT ubering, yaddah..yaddah, but reacting to others. T'weren't but a tad ubering before said individual popped in and started giving his minions whatever they needed to survive/resist/regenerate. Also, clan wars have never been ONE individual telling everyone else what the rules were.

When the ALSB/HADB conflict happened, Avatar led his group and Azurewolf ours. I thought that was a GREAT battle. I really enjoyed it...a certain someone [img]tongue.gif[/img] ubered a bit, but we fixed that with our own posts in reaction to him. (and you know who you are, don't you hon? [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

In this recent case, the person in question was asked REPEATEDLY to stop 'ubering', claimed he wasn't and continued...so those on the opposing side continued as well. And maybe I should have PM'd you to complain, but I just want him to go away and leave me alone...He read, commented on and then disregarded as unimportant any attempts to get him to play within reasonable limits and continues to not set limits for HIS character while setting limits for everyone fighting against him. Some may be able to laugh this off, but I can't. The 'disadvantages' he gives himself aren't feasible. "Saying" you've lost constitution, yet still hurling unlimited numbers of spells and such PLUS changing your character CONSTANTLY is NOT in line with regular play of any sort that I've ever seen - even giving that people have different playing styles. What this person needs is an omnipotent opponent (perhaps a certain modding Mage? ).

I guess I've just gotten spoiled RPing with people who actually have reasonable characters with limits to their abilities and who follow the guidelines. Oh well...there's my input FWIW. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now...to go stir up trouble elsewhere.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

P.S. - I have been lurking about the adventures here and most are QUITE enjoyable. [img]smile.gif[/img] There really is a great group of talented RPers here. [img]smile.gif[/img]
