Them demins is srs bizness

[summertimesongs]

I play in a WoW guild whose plot centers around killing all these unbound disguised demons who have recently infested my server and for some reason have found myself on the pointy end of the general Sharpened Broom Handle 'o Server Hatred. I mean in the sort of way where I am now a bad person in real life because we killed your half-demon,

I'm really having a hard time understanding the issue here. If these are idiots on the same faction, you aren't killing their character. Game mechanics don't allow Bitchslaps of Righteousness yet. If it's alliance versus horde, hell, they deserve it for rolling on the enemy faction.

Then again, I play on a normal pvp server. A little explanation of the situation, please?

Basically we have a lot of people wandering around talking in demonic and openly announcing that they're the child of succubus or whatever - basically making it obvious that they're a demon. Usually we settle it in RP fights which often turn out with said character being resurrected at some point but hey.

[djinnofthesea]

...Okay, so they fail at WoW lore so you descend to their level of fail?

[paperclipchains]

Basically, yeah.

And then complains after RP stabbing them that they don't go and reroll their char immediately, I guess? IDK.

[mongoose_bite]

This reminds me why I don't play anymore.

[paperclipchains]

IKR?

[shadow_otm]

Because it's serious business, even on BRPS?

[mongoose_bite]

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, the demon rpers are, well, silly, but have you played this game? It's full of silly.

Basically, you're wrestling pigs because you don't like how dirty they are.

[appalachias]

This.

Never actually said that, but. *thumbs up*

srs bizness indeed

Maybe you should bold the Edit Number 2 so people see it, and not the first paragraph, and then mistakenly decide you are a Petty Hater

Dear god, there's been a lot of World of Warcraft drama recently.

For all those people saying that she's a bad for this, I applaud you for speaking your opinions. However, I'm a part of the same guild. I have seen these demins with my special eyes. I've watched some guild members deal with them. I dealt IC'ly with one myself.

And guess what - none of us metagamed. None of us Auto-Knew that these people were demons. Because we are not bads.

To give you some perspective, the demin I went up against was a definite Bad RPer, and if I had had any contact with him after our one disastrous scene, I would no doubt have eventually posted here about him. If you put aside the grammar fail, the continuity fail, and the fact that he is apparently immortal, you're left with this - the demin strode around Silvermoon City openly declaring his Deminosity, basically challenging everyone to kill him.

That's not the point, though. The point is more that if you're playing a Ghostbuster it really doesn't make any sense to berate people for playing ghosts.

[summertimesongs]

I- that wasn't the point of my post?

Why am I bothering? It's obvious that you're just ignoring me any time I point out that it's not because people are playing demons, it's because they're taking IC matters out on me OOCly.

[bangstand]

I love how everyone is missing your giant neon fucking point. Jesus Christ, having a character who hates demons ICly and reacting accordingly does not bad RP make.

[themiskyra]

Okay, I think people are getting a little unreasonable here, on both sides. It seems the main argument point boils down to what an individual thinks should be done in response to a fail!player on a game like WoW. One side thinks you should just /ignore them because of their obvious fail; the other side believes you should respond to their fail IC, even if you think it's fail OOC

[mongoose_bite]

But if the only outcome for a demon character when meeting the OPs character is death (or godmoding to get out of it) that's not going to encourage good RP, is it?

I HAET DEMONS is just as one-dimensional and boring as I R DEMON. And the OP gave no indication they wanted these players to improve, they just want to kill demon characters. They have an entire guild for it, apparently.

[themiskyra]

You do have a point there, as far as only allowing for one response ICly. That I do think the OP could improve on. Though to also be fair, if these OMGDEMINS are running around talking about eating babies and whatnot, trying to justify an IC response other than "Imma kill you horrible creature!" would be difficult.

[mongoose_bite]

Well yes, the demon players haven't exactly covered themselves in glory either. Honestly, both sides look like dicks. The OP seems to be approaching RPers that are probably going to be bad, baiting them and then coming here to complain when, surprise surprise, they don't turn out to be the most mature people OOCly when their character gets stomped in.

And I do wonder if the OP would allow their character to be defeated by one of these demons or not. Unless you take it to a duel, I honestly don't see how these IC fights are settled fairly.
