To answer your question: If you have tjhe power to do so, ban his ass. screw any "consequences", just ban him.

regarding consent: I think what you meant to say is that you are FOR consent (actually having permission or having worked out the details prior), not against it.

That said, the above story is a prime reason why I detest all SLs of any kind that treat consent as if it were a bad joke. There is always someone (or in the case of some of the SLs I have seen, nearly everyone involved) who is out to rack up kills.

for this reason alone I do not play in realms that do not allow for consent minded players ( ... )

I would also like to add that I am something of a dick when it comes to teaches players like Horatio just what sort of shit they can step in with their actions.

As I have said before, I had a host of characters specialized in handling Powergamers .... The very next character to be used would have been one of them and Horatio's head would have rolled.

Each and every one of them has a rational explanation for their abilities and for their power. this includes attacks that are, quite literally, unblock-able/impossible to dodge.

Those who use "To Play is to Consent" as a reason for PKing at whim have the same tendencies as Horatio, adding in that many have attacks that are like my own anti-powergamer squad ... without the virtue of being so solidly established and built.

The instant the tables are turned, they whine, complain and try to godmode out of having their character killed.

to which I fire off OOC: "Don't you believe that playing is giving consent? Take the hit like a good little lemming and learn from that mistake."

Well in this dream and with the systems that we use, that would not be possible unless you rolled a Boss character which pretty much works as an NPC. But even in the current system, there are a lot of flaws such as one of Horatio's abilities as a Psion to manipulate or suggest other characters to do things such as kill themselves in as little as 2 prepping posts. His character shouldn;t even be that kind of powerful kind of character that would even survive all the damage that his character takes. (E.I. Scrawny psionic black mage.)

Seamstress here. Need to correct you: she's a blue mage, but Cure falls under normal magic.

Also. Horatio got a Life Drain for trying to kill someone already heavily injured. It really only weakened him and made him pretty damn hurt, but yeah. ICC.

iwantasammich November 13 2010, 05:28:00 UTC

Oh My apologies. That's good to hear but you would think that his character has learned from it by now.

higenshi November 13 2010, 06:59:00 UTC

If anything, he's learned not to piss of Seamstress. 8/

hobokitten November 13 2010, 05:57:24 UTC

If you're unsure on this, I would gather 'Evidence; of this and send it to Top-Admin.
I'm IC staff in a dream I play in, and I do this when ever someone is really bothering my character.

midsumnight November 13 2010, 06:20:16 UTC

Tch. I would either ban him, or go and kill him the next time he shows his face, using his own stilted logic.

higenshi November 13 2010, 06:58:29 UTC

If my Blue Mage weren't a Princess of Heart (one of seven maidens that are pure light), I'd just Life Drain him to death. It disrupts any spells and takes 20% of of their life. :/ He's just that annoying and keeps fucking with Seamstress' friends.

I wish you could get away with banning his ass yourself, and I'm not sure what else to suggest besides impressing on the top admin that he should be banned...

But, totally off topic, your "current music" -- Midnight Crew, by any chance? :D

iwantasammich November 15 2010, 01:47:41 UTC

Why yes it is. I love Homestuck and even rp as terezi in the dream. xD

poisontea November 15 2010, 01:55:58 UTC

That is awesome and you should feel awesome. Terezi is such a BAMF! And I'm not big on instrumentals, but I could listen to Homestuck stuff (especially Drawing Dead) all day.

Back on topic a little, now that they've mentioned it, I actually totally agree with the people below me. Your best bet is probably to talk the top admin, if she wants you to be the "Bad Cop," into giving you power to actually dole out some punishments instead of just scold.
