Have you looked into Cougar Ridge yet

I'm pretty sure I had finished the key lime soda by then. I still have diet Pepsi left, though.

There's no way I could keep up with this incarnation of the Ridge. Just way too much. I doubt I could resurrect Tyler's bizarre speech patterns anyway.

So skip Tyler. Come up with someone else.

What in the world are power gamers and griefers? I mean, I can make an assumption, and that assumption is that it's not good, but I just want to make sure...

A powergamer is someone who, instead of playing a role in a game which is interesting to all participants prefers to play a character wielding as much personal power and influence as possible. Often their attempts to maximise their power will be at the expense of the character's plausibility and will attempt to exploit loopholes in the game rules.

A griefer is a particularly unpleasant kind of player who derives enjoyment from doing bad things to other characters. And by this I don't mean that they set up great tragic dramas worthy of the Bard. More typical behaviour is to kill other characters for no good reason, steal their possessions and so on. Griefers are typically also powergamers since their mischief is easier to enact if their character is stronger than everyone else's.

Thank you. I think that if anyone sticks their head in one of my loopholes I'll tighten it until they choke.

Very succinct. Thank you.
