Slaughtered II

[Poet]

Started this thread because the other became locked.

QUOTE:
Course, even though the rules state the faction PKing is allowed short of harassment, players that exhibit good sportmanship are encouraged and nurtured.

Players that shout 'LOL - pwned you noob!' are placed on a short leash and probably given much less leway when decisions need to be made.

The more you exhibit role play in your faction raiding actions and display good sportsmanship, the more the gods will smile on you.

Disclaimer: the above does not necessarily represent the official policy of NS for you lawyer wanna-bes, unless I can get an Amen from a DM higher up. But, just makes good sense. Try and make NS4 an enjoyable place for others to play as well as satisfying your own amusements.

Somehow I haven't seen this mentality applied to a certain DM's character who I remember myself saying "ROFL" to the first time he killed my lowbie character, to which he came back and did it twice more in the same session within a couple hours.

Please tell me how I should best handle this situation as I hate to whine and I try to avoid him but it is becoming very annoying when he is on.

Last I heard Netrom was away. Netrom would be your first contact for this situation, He is the DM Supervisor for NS4.

If you do not hear from Netrom, please forward any information and details to me. I will follow-up with Netrom when he is availible.

If a topic becomes locked, you do not just remake the same topic.

... right ...

Unless it is 'justified' ?

Hence the previous suggestion ...

Yeah it is hard to quote an important reference from the developers like Poet did if the topic is already locked. Also if you notice this topic is about certain DMs who also have the power to lock forum topics. So if something needs to be said about them and they don't want to hear it they can just lock the topic or even worse just edit the post or even just delete it. Certain topics have been locked far too often because the DMs don't want to hear about the problems that have been happening on the server. So I believe some topics should be allowed to go their course so these problems can be aired out. Lets shed some light on what has been happening so we can make NS4 a better place for everybody.

lmao you guys crack me up. I locked slaughter because it became a personal war between kst and some others.

and it was turning into a flame war. if you dont like that then o well. im not going to watch player make personal attacks on each other.

Actually only a few of those posts even mentioned kSt. This topic was started because of Player/DM abuse against new characters/players. I too find it harsh that some DMs think that NS4 is there own personal stomping ground for abusing players. It's one thing to throw events out to encourage player participation but quite another thing to make players participate in tedious or deadly games that only make the players frustrated and not want to continue. Especially games with only penalties and no rewards. This kind event only discourages players and makes them try and avoid DM interaction and events. Not sure, but I don't think this is what the developers are looking for regardless of what the "rules" are.

If the original topic was locked from going of topic with inanities or flames, then there's I don't see the problem of continuing the original discussion.

If the topic all along was the reason the thread got locked, then let the person who foolishly brings up the subject suffer the wrath of the mods.
