<Fernando didn't supply a description>
WARNING: LONG READ I'll try to be brief tho, I got hardbanned. *My chars: Sckul, maxxed wizard, 1st char, got levelbashed and abandoned. Burgul, bounty hunter, ex-Commander of Durbatuluk, ex-Commander of AotWU, and one of the leader of the RioT ERs. Fernando (the old one), harassing servant lowbie thief with boosted skills, ex-KV GM. Nox, Hitman, ex-PoT, ex-Durms, his last fines were 8,7k. 18 Solos (9 Contracts, 4 ERs, 5 idiots). Vladislav > Petra, ex-warlord of the Thrakatuluk legion, namechanged after some idiot said it would become a riot legion. Lestat, lowbie assassin, 5 pkills on newbiekillers. Pau (both of 'em), first RiOT ER, first to use the term 'riot' to designate a rebel evil race. Zeh, civilian lvl 12 got eaten by activity daemon. Mom, lvl 4 fighter, just to make jokes on the comm. Senaquerib > Pederasta, lvl 9 sniffer. *Chars from other people that I played with: Bilungada - Ex-Beorning Senior of the Order of Bair (Orbair), 2nd in command (AGM). My RL friend stopped playing this game when New Rangers were introduced, he loved 'charm'. Bilungada was a lvl 13 ranger, I changed him into assassin and then it became my main char. Kingozzy > Fernando (the new one) - An alt of the same friend, got him as a lvl 8 warrior, and when the old Fernando suicided i levelled him up and namechanged. There's another one that i can't say because the guy still plays. (hah!) Last theft: a phial, from some elf. Last pk: cozoq, as burgul. I knew it would happen some day but not for such thing, not now. I have always wondered what would be my reaction, but amazingly the first thing i did was to yell at my brother to bring his car in so we could wash it together. Didn't get frustated or angry, sad perhaps. Some might say that with the hardban all the effort i put on my characters were trashed, no way. I enjoyed all of my characters since its creation I've been playing this game for 5 years, with some intervals, and those were good 5 years. But my desire for playing had been decreasing for the following facts: - Introduction of the ERs, which fucked with guild relationships and created infinite imbalance issues. - Removal of fade. - Dev 22. - Failkill. - A lot of other stupid changes. - The great one: Rambler abdicated Beornings GMship for Gristwen, whom i never liked much but at first she started doing a really good job, but then she started letting straight in and promoting every player that she mudsexed with, and my guild was full of peverts. She never talked to me, and i was 2nd in command, and never put those applicants on vote. I made a polite post about it when Grandeur left, but she erased it said to 'post it up in my ass'. So i left my only guild, not before telling her to use that log of her getting pk'd while mudsexing with Grimscar in the plains as the new Theme. If i still had it, i'd post... the figure says: 'May I join?' and attacks! The hardban was the 'coup de grâce'. Ok, it can be easily lifted and i could come back but the point is: they can do it again, so that isn't fun. But I'll never regret the time i spent playing this game, i made good friends, met a lot of new people, learned a lot of new things, and improved my english. *People I'd like to mention as great friends: The Brazilians, my best friends Brof, taught me most things i know about pk'ing and triggering breaks, awesomely fun to party with. Gawen, showed most of Mordor and the Lair, great party leader. Grandeur, the first friend i made here, almost unkillable, he's stopped playing for the 45th time :P Rafa, the one who taught me most things and had more patience with me, also the one i had more fun with. Sigfried, taught me almost everything about zmud, smart guy and lazy-but-loyal great friend. Never had much contact with Jonny, Rhoads or Guilherme, but they're nice people too. *Non-Brazilians that i like most and have been mutualy loyal: Daywalker Esteban Fyng Hart Scarn (not mutualy loyal, he has screwed me and i've screwed him in the past, but i like him anyways) Winnetou If I didn't metion you it doesn't mean that i wouldn't buy you a beer if we met, even Baklen, the majority of the players here are nice persons (some like Ecidon, Rathmar, Paraiko, Altar i wouldn't buy a thing) , and there are some (like Athin,Tlaloc, Kelos, Grick, Gaul, Tevildo, Dorf, Giro, Eomar etc...) that i do regret i didn't get to know 'em well.

Before reading this, ask Pounder to tell you his 'Small Penis Theory', it fits perfectly. I had a char named Senaquerib, and somehow everyone knew it was my alt, so i used that legend-free namechange feature and namechanged him to 'Pederasta'. Pederast means: 1. A athenian sage, who took younger boys as aprentices. 2. A man who practices anal intercourses with boys. But they don't have good history books in that sanatorium Melkor lives. I've choosen that name because i was watching a movie, comedy, and the guy said "hey, pederasts" when he met his friends. It was the first word that came in my mind, i needed a name quickly. One day, i found myself imprisoned, Melkor appeared and started being rude, i figured it was because of my name, but i asked him, to make sure, he called me 'stupid'. He never, ever, asked me: 'change it'. He just imprisoned, insulted and nuked. I logged on Fernando to talk to him, he imprisoned me without a word. I logged on Lestat, he imprisoned me, and we had a long talk, i apologized, he said it wasn't enough, he wanted me to mail the Powers saying why they shouldn't hardban me, but due to mailbox bugs, i was only able to mail Melkor, and he didn't forward the letter, as i found out later. I logged of and went to university. When i came back, both Fernando and Sckul had been silently nuked. I logged on Lestat and talked to Aule, he said he didn't recieve my letter, i begged him, but he said that doing that with a character named after a vampire in a novel wasn't helping. On the other day, I came back from work and logged on Lestat and here's my last talk with Melkor, the only one i logged: You tell Melkor: hi, are you busy? Melkor tells you: ive got nothing to say to you. far as im concerned you should not be here either. Melkor tells you: frankly im not sure how you are getting aroudn the hardban. clearly you dont get the message. Melkor tells you: but time will fix that. You tell Melkor: i'm not getting around it, i just logged in You tell Melkor: man, please don't ban me You tell Zimrathon: parece q ele vai me dar hardban (looks like hes going to hardban me) Zimrathon tells you: o melkor? You tell Zimrathon: sim (yes) Melkor tells you: we've been through all this. i know you spoke with aule last night. im not sure where you and he left things. you should know that I do not approve of your presence in this world. Zimrathon tells you: por causa do nome? (because of the name?) You tell Melkor: i've spoken to aule because you told me to talk to the powers You tell Melkor: and he said he didn't recieve my letter You tell Melkor: and again i apologized Melkor tells you: i forwarded it on to drogian, perhaps he sent it to aule. i also found your apologies to be insincere and halfhearted. not that it matters, really, because i have grave concernes about letting anyone in our midsts who would self identify as a child molseter Zimrathon tells you: eh serio? (seriously?) You tell Zimrathon: eh (yeah) Zimrathon tells you: isso agora? (that happened now?) You tell Melkor: for gods sake! i'm no child molester You tell Zimrathon: tah rolando ainda (it's still happening) Zimrathon tells you: entao vou parar de fazer eq pro burgul (so i'll stop getting eq for Burgul) Melkor tells you: and then, when confronted with this issue, be unapologetic, defiant, and choose to argue with me on the basis that 'it doenst mean child molester, its a greek word meaning 'man who has mentor relationship with boys', that has been taken out of context by 'stupid masses'. You tell Melkor: neither i defend it, and i never made fun with that name You tell Melkor: i didn't say it! You tell Melkor: i said it meant also an elder who takes a boy as his apprentice You tell Melkor: to sex involved You tell Melkor: and i never defied you, i'm not crazy Melkor tells you: furthermore, your apologies and explanations to others make no mention of this level of thought and research you have into the etymology of the word, and instead, try to chalk up your choice of words as 'something you heard in a movie'. I see this as feigned ignorance. You tell Melkor: i did no reasearch, i learned about it on college Melkor tells you: i thought it was just some random word you heard in a movie. That's how you are portraying it to others. You tell Melkor: but at the time i was looking for a name to my namechange, i was watching that movie You tell Melkor: no, i'm not portraiting it to anyone, i said that was why i put it... Zimrathon tells you: e ai? (so?) You tell Zimrathon: ele tah sendo erístico (he's being eristic) Melkor tells you: at the end of the day, i dont think you are being straight with us, your apologies have been insincere, and i think you are doing anything you can to get your characters back. Melkor tells you: including lying and omitting the truth. ! You tell Melkor: lying?! Zimrathon tells you: Mas que que voce acha (but what do you think?) You tell Melkor: no, man, hell no, i just felt that nuking 3 alts or hardbanning isn't fair for someone who played this game for 5 years and the max admin punition i got was for a bug abuse i didn't commit You tell Melkor: i didn't lie at all, neither ommited the truth Melkor tells you: now, do i know if you are a child molester or not? No. But I do know that you 1) self identified as one, 2) have not been sufficiently apologetic about it, or straight up about the scenario. That dos not sit well with me at all. Melkor tells you: and frankly, I dont want to find out if you are a child molester Melkor tells you: after what has transpired, i feel that allowing you to play here is a risk. You tell Melkor: dude, i'm really sorry, deeply.... please believe me Melkor tells you: oh, so that is supposed to mean something? You tell Melkor: i didn't know i was causing that harm, no one ever sent me a tell about it, i didn't recieve any warnings You tell Melkor: please believe me You tell Melkor: i beg you Melkor tells you: you created a character names 'child molester'. Do you honestly think that under any circumstances I am going to allow you within this community, where CHILDREN play? to do so is irresponsible and a risk that I will not take, regardless of your pleadings. Melkor tells you: you might not be a child molester. I cannot take the risk to find out. You tell Melkor: melkor so if the problem was just that character why not just force a namechange? Melkor tells you: you really dont get it. You tell Melkor: or maybe just nuke that character and erase that legend Melkor tells you: which is even more troubling. You tell Melkor: i do You tell Melkor: i do! HP:130 EP:130> Melkor tells you: time to go now. you can suicide or i can nuke. your choice You tell Melkor: wait man You tell Zimrathon: Esse eh meu ultimo tell pra vc cara, valeu por tudo (This is my last tell to you man, thanks for everything) Melkor tells you: as I said before: Zimrathon tells you: eh serio? (seriously?) Melkor tells you: you created a character names 'child molester'. Do you honestly think that under any circumstances I am going to allow you within this community, where CHILDREN play? to do so is irresponsible and a risk that I will not take, regardless of your pleadings. Zimrathon tells you: msn You tell Melkor: I won't do it anymore! You tell Zimrathon: please You tell Melkor: please Melkor tells you: you are not welcome here You tell Zimrathon: misstell, bah akele era pra ser o ultimo :P (that one was supposed to be the last one :P ) You tell Zimrathon: flws, n tem graça mais jogar com um admin assim (cya, there's no fun playing with an admin like this) Zimrathon tells you: tu vai fazer oq (what will you do?) You tell Melkor: please man, please Melkor tells you: and if you are indeed innocent, then please know that i take no joy ain this and apologize; I do not have a choice. I -cannot- allow people who identify themselves as child molesters within our community. Melkor tells you: it is irresponsible of me to do otherwise. You tell Melkor: i won't do it anymore, you have my word *Melkor waves at you. l The Two Towers Thorondor been dazed and confused for so long its not true (Overlord) Melkor the Dark Lord [unholy eternal] (Vala) Total ainur: 2 Total users: 71 You tell Melkor: please don't ban me Melkor tells you: find another game to play You tell Melkor: i have friends here Melkor tells you: seek out professional help, too. You tell Melkor: 'I'M NO CHILD MOLESTER' Melkor tells you: that may or may not be true. I, however, cannot afford to find out if it is true. You tell Melkor: i can prove you Melkor tells you: sorry (best part of the log) You tell Melkor: sorry?
