Hey you.

Our LARP has been around for years, so of course we have old members and new members and power level differences. Most of our outdoors are kinda on the higher end of the power-scale, mostly because the older players are more plot-savvy and pick up plot threads a lot more easily, and they tend to ignore minor plots and focus on major problems. To counter, every now and again someone will point out an interesting plot that doesn't seem too difficult, and request a low-level outdoor, which are mostly aimed at new players.

You are not a new player; you have been here for YEARS. You are also not low-level. Your character already has magic items, money, about a years worth of XP; you do not NEED to go on a low-level outdoor, and by doing so you take those rewards away from the low-level players who probably need them a lot more than you do. You take party room away from players who have been here a lot less time than you have and who have possibly never got to play on an outdoor before. The monsters are statted low so people have a chance to kill them without high-level magic or magic weapons, so you just walk through them without effort and thus take away the fun of being able to go on an outdoor and actually succeed on their own abilities, and also any kind of triumph or challenge or feeling of being useful.

Stop it. Go on an outdoor that might actually have some challenge, for once, and let the low-level players actually, you know, play on an outdoor that won't kill them (hopefully).

Newer than you and still not going on a low-level outdoor.

Other you;

If you're just going to complain about EVERY indoor, why even bother turning up? Three times you've up and left in a huff, and at least one of them was entirely your own fault.

Oddly enough, if you cast a spell of confusion on the local militia PC, she's probably going to arrest you for assaulting a member of the watch. It's actually in the laws that even non-lethal magic, when cast on an unwilling target, is assault. IC actions have IC consequences.

Yours,
Fed Up

Yous generally,

Yes your god is the local trickster god, but he's also the god of contentment. You abusing your priestly powers "for the lulz" is annoying to the players you do that shit to, out of character for what the priests of that god are meant to be like (trickery is meant to be for a purpose, not just for your amusement), and mildly irritating to other followers of the same god who now have a bad rep thanks to you. Knock it off. 5 minutes of forced silence or confusion, especially multiple times in one evening like you keep doing, is annoying and spoils people's fun, and oddly enough, they're here to have fun too.

Yours
The priest of contentment getting shit because people aren't very content when they keep getting their lips glued together.
