GM abuse
« on: April 03, 2012, 12:08:07 am »
10 min ago in NCR I meet Voland, I called him "pker" and "evil" just for joke, he dissapeared and 10 sec later character named "AngelFour" tried to kill me with plasma granade, but he failed (-7hp left). Someone used first aid on me, 2 mins after that character AngelFour (Voland) is back and shows GM powers like killing animations on himself. Moment later i got bombed by him

And did you get jailed?  Did you get banned?  No?  Then people had a little fun and no harm done.

It's all really about suppression of dissension, consensus through censorship.  Whether through extermination of those who have different or conflicting viewpoints or subtle spin of available media.  If there is only one opinion left, it must be right, right?

I joke around too much [and my sense of humor is odd] so i have found it's best to keep my humor to myself in-game and maybe share it in voice chat. Also as a Polish friend told me more than once:hings that make us laugh hard in America don't even earn a wince in Poland. Senses of humor are cultural and vary greatly over geography. So it's easy for people in one group to say "those other people don't have a sense of humor".

Example: "I got food poisoning last week. [pause] I don't know when i'm going to use it."
To me, that's a hysterical joke by the famous comedian Steven Wright. To my Polish friend, he looks at me like i just put random words together that don't mean anything.

Additionally, humor can be very difficult to distinguish in text-based communication. Your funny jokes [and mine] can be easily taken as offensive. So i avoid the IRC chats now. I see them as an easy way for a silly-mouthed guy like me to just get into trouble. And game staff? I avoid 'em! They are too powerful! Imagine i crack a joke with a GM and they take offense instead of laughing! Crap! I could get banned so easily for joking around - it's almost enough to make me stop joking around all together.

Lastly, as Trokanis stated: Voland just had some fun with you - you didn't get into any actual trouble. Yes, anyone who can exploit an abuse for fun, will. Remember playing Doom in godmode? If the Doom monsters had a forum, they'd complain that you abused your player powers.

If it was Voland, I would say it seems like maybe he thought if he was to be accused of it, he may as well do it.

But hey, shit happens, right?  As was previously stated, you were not jailed/banned/sent to the bottom floor of the Glow for it.

Not abuse.  Just amusement.

Get over it.

Last wipe I was in NCR, waiting for a brand new player to meet me so I could give him 10 hides.  While I was waiting, Voland exploded everyone, and then resurrected us.  Something like 15 players.  Guess what?  We all lost our shit, and the noob went another hour without a tent.  You know what NONE of us did?

Post a whine thread about it.

You should have.  Not only would it have been amusing but you're supposed to report this kind of shit.

Speak up. ::)

You made fun of Voland and Voland made fun of you if that was really Voland. It's a circle you can't break.
