Hello Dear Friendly People

about an hour ago, when I was hanging around in NCR, something happened.
I was calm enough to make a screenshot:

as you can see on the screenshot, some GM decieded to place a new workbench in NCR, which would be great if not the fact that it also blew up few people.
before this happened, I didint believe when people told me about GM abuse, but it seems quite clear now.

I know what you're going to say, and tbh I can't wait to read it. I predict something like this: "You were killed by a suicide bomber, and the workbench was just a coincidence" am i right?
others will say "wasteland is harsh, get used to it". some may say "you're guilty for standing in a crowded place in NCR, its like asking for trouble".

sorry, I keep forgeting. I thought GMs are here to improve the game. how stupid of me.

I hope this is a good joke

Or else ...you won't belive me, but you actually were killed by a suicide bomber

There is a bug with that you can "pick up" workbenches and place them on other positions. I guess someone placed bombs in it, which exploded then.


Seriously, this GM paranoia is going me on my nuts already. As soon as we see real GM abuse, we kick them in the ass. It didn't happened yet.


/Edit: I see player "Abdullah" on that screenshot. This player is known for a lot suicide bombings, and I bet he wasn't there now to craft on the workbench.

Why isn't this retard banned/jailed anyway?

This covers the (obvious anyway) guilty party. What about the workbench? There's a recent bug that cause some fraction of people that used the workbench on a map, and died on the same map, to drop a workbench (formally it becomes an invisible inventory item once the map-placed workbench is used - this allows recipes with workbench as a tool to be crafted - and it's supposed to be removed when the player leaves the vicinity of the workbench - yet sometimes it does not work. This is also the reason for all bugs related to ability of crafting workbench-requiring items without the actual workbench). Here's another instance of a workbench left by a recently killed player: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3520/screen11022010211636.jpg

What do we have then? No GM abuse, that's for sure.

so thats how it works!
i was wondering how those workbenches multiply in the garage
shame it works only on this same map ;/ would carry my workbench to my tent^^

SuGGESTION: maybe temporarly disable crafting without using workbench if it causes problems ? (better then having to despawn the workbenches ...

[Solar]

Its always the GMs fault!!!!!!1111111

[baaelSiljan]

like the monthy python, workbench just fall from skies... i guess it is great that it wasn't elephant or spam.

[Vindict]

ok now I really feel stupid.

I apologise for blaming GMs. It didin't occur to me players could do that. And I heard a lot of GM abuse recently

*covers face in shame*

[Izual]

That were all false, as always.

[gordulan]

what about the purple robed brahmin invasion, was that some sort of prank the gms pulled?

[Rejfyl]

Today some mysterious stranger was shooting at us. Without any explanation. It was while  we were making an ambush for enemy gang.

[Lexx]

I see nothing in that screenshot.

[Rejfyl]

That person was appearing and shooting at us. I dont have any screenshots to prove it. Just my word. You can belive me or not. I dont care about punishment for that GM. It was just unfair, but i can live with that.

Of course maybe im wrong and it was a player controling that "mysterious stranger" npc. New kind of slave which wasnt typed in changelog.

"I see nothing in that screenshot." Is all you will get when you report a GM.
