read 24 Note 24 Azhagzhur (Thu Mar 10 2005) *FDL* Item #22 To : Azhagzhur@Erebor Cc : Boffo Scatha From : Boffo@Bywater Date : Thu Mar 10 04:57:57 2005 Subject: Wrap your head around this. =================================== I've cc'd this mail to Scatha, as two GMs who are having conflict may be part of his province. Letter follows: If you hadn't already grasped this, I am fed up with your continuous disrespect towards me on the public comm. On the GM comm, you stated that you speak to 'everybody' that way. I accepted this fairly conciliatory statement at the time, however I no longer think it's true. I would say from the amount of attention you pay to my affairs (when your affairs are of little concern to me) is indicative of some sort of fixation. I can be idling in my Guildhall doing paperwork, and all of a sudden you're sniping at me on the GM comm. I can be questing gear, and you feel some need to make snide comments about what I auction. That you spend so much time and energy following my exploits and tossing barbs at me that it actually sets you beneath me. This is how it works. You feel a need to get cheap approval from the MUD's lowest common denominator by flinging unwarranted cheapshots at me. There's enough Munchkins here that can't do much more than pilot a Client tricked out for PKilling that I'm an easy target. I believe that the work I do on this MUD is for the betterment of this mud. Some of that work is in Roleplay. Some of it is in how I submit ideas for Code or in Petitions... and Munchkins just don't understand that. When you play to this small-minded, bloodthirsty crowd, it doesn't make you anything special, it just makes you the King of the Munchkins. For the record, I never claimed to be anything special, or that anyone ought to 'ph34r my l33t ski11z.' I consider myself to be an adequate player. I can gear myself up from scratch without buying anything, I can evade a gangband, and I enjoy myself, most of the time. You don't play a game for 9 years without learning a few things, so kindly save your condescending bullshit for someone who's actually a n00b.
