Why is /yell *Gunshot!* hated?

Umm, at Krasarang that was pre-arranged with Thunderbraid to take down the shields of his Gunship, allowing the PvP from the main Horde force ( Which we took no part in) to happen on the deck. As for not being able to RP with my unit, uhh, you can? Just add us on Bnet and if you’re doing something, we’ll take it, It worked in Redridge, it worked in, well, every campaign including the recent Silverpine one. We are not, and never have been, unwilling to take anti-air attacks. That has always been our policy, but in order to -take- them, we have to know they are -happening- We usually RP the fact that we are taking heavy fire, even if attacking a small fortification, but we can’t react to things we don’t know about. They -had- an option of RPing with us. They chose not to use it. That’s not on us… If you want to do anti air stuff then hit me up on Btag. It worked with the Nightfall lot. People -have- the option. They just don’t take it and then complain later.

Yeah, but we’re suckers for injuries, and play by the spirit of the game, as well as the rules of the game. If the tower is hit -now- then the tower is hit -now-

Do I agree with that Alliance superweapon? No, there is nothing in the game world that even resembles that. Did we take the effects without whining about it? Why yes we did, two characters died, and Brigante is permanently lame, due to rubble falling on his (recently healed) leg. We could have played the “That’s Kodo Excretions” card, Which to be frank, is becoming more and more necessary these days, but we didn’t, we took the hit. It Came out of nowhere, and suddenly struck us all, and was specifically emoted as hitting the tower that three injured observers were watching the battle from. I’m not sure of the military logic of that, given that there was a pitched battle going on that we were -watching- and that such a weapon could have been beneficial towards the actual Fighting. But We took it. That’s roleplaying.

I don’t like Cheese, I don’t trust it’s motives, there is something very sinister about Cheese and I believe it is conspiring against us all. Oh it lulls us into a false sense of security, with Dairy Lea pieces, but that is the gateway, Next thing you know, it is Edam, then That horrible Italian cheese that actually has live maggots crawling through it as it is served, So yes, I will stick by my stance that I do not like Cheese!

O-oh now look what you’ve done! You’ve disturbed the fishstick! And have disgraced elves everywhere with your paranoia and hatred of the most HEAVENLY thing produced across the world! I will fry your liver and serve it to the nearby Night Elven orphanages, ill use your small intestine as a skip rope while I use your pancreas as GARNISH for the local children, before I flay ye scalp and add it to my collection of burnt scalps for leaping over fiery coals of a crazed inter dimensional man with a cheese addiction!

105

Well, I feel disturbingly honoured by such…

106

I’ll also fry your Dragonhawk into a kebab,

You disturbed the fish stick, it’s a very delicate state of mind!

That’s the thing though I was caught in the act but here’s the other problem with guard RP.

When you live in a world with mages and adept adventurers, people tend to take matters into their own hands making people who RP as guards obsolete.

It’s all over, lawbreaker!

That’s probably why both factions have elite Magi and Sorcerers to deal with situations as well as normal Guardsman. Its a terribly put forward answer that I always see when in fact every example we really have of Guards shows us them just easily beating up trouble-makers when needed. (See: The Seventh Legion Elite Magi locking down the entire stockade)

I think you missed my point.

I am fine with you using mana bombs.

The first most of us in Redridge knew about it was after you’d done it.

Like you said, if you don’t know before how are you supposed to be involved.

On the second point. If you’re happy that you reacted IC to the mana weapon. And happy you took injury. Why are you complaining?

Because it literally (In the correct sense of the word) affected -no-one- on either side as players. We bombed 100 npc soldiers, we were nowhere near any player characters, what input would people half a zone away have had? I already threw obstacles at us, so it wasn’t a cakewalk, it was fraught by danger, not to mention the moral dilemma aspect. What were we supposed to do, contact the Alliance -players- and go "We’re doing something that you can’t see and can’t do anything about, but just to let you know, something is being done. Byee! "

That just seems, a bit unnecessary, not to mention unrealistic (If we can use that word in a fantasy setting) But seriously, what would it have profited -anyone- to know that?

Probably being in the area involved would have been a good start, and to be honest, I would have found a way to abort the mission, because dropping mana bombs on player characters is pretty much an instant death, force killing, and as such, not something we do. We have never, and will never, use Tactical Mana bombs on actual player characters, we may saber rattle with them, but just ain’t happening.

Sheer fact is, why should I tell people half a zone away what we are doing when there is no earthly way they -could- interact with it.

I’m not really complaining about it, I was just pointing out that the Alliance used a Mana Weapon on Horde players, the Horde did not use a Mana Weapon on Alliance players. I’m actually fine with taking the injury, it has added a neat aspect to my character, on the ground, without putting himself through severe pain, he is a cripple, in the Skies he is like a God, Its a cool touch, and bizarrely brings things have went full circle, the bone walking cane he uses is a bone from one of Garrosh’s Protodrakes that we collectively shot down during SoO, which then spurred on 4 years of plot as a vengeful lover took their revenge for his shot down lover. I’m not complaining about it at all, it has added an interesting facet to my character. It was a comment, not a complaint.

Now you have gone too far, I will have you hounded from Silvermoon and then turn you to ash…(If we could fly) Alright, I will hound you to Eastern Plaguelands and -then- turn you to ash! :laughing:

Please Gods no. I genuinely cannot stand Cheese. I mean I’m not even Lactose intolerant, I love drinking milk, but Cheese just…turns my stomach, especially that Italian one, where part of its allure is that they have -maggots- in it, to add flavour! Perhaps it is because I know what maggots do, and you really don’t want to know if you are a cheese fan, so I will leave it there.

Double portion for you.

faints in horror

115

I think we’ll do an Italian.

116

Washes his head like Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse now and mutters “the horror…the horror…the horror”

117

Out of curiosity, how would you explain that IC. Belay the kill order there are enemy soldiers below us?

In honesty , I would have enemy air defence be so severe that bombing said players would be suicide, or that the enemy had anti air defences that were so numerous they were a risk, There are a multitude of excuses I could fabricate that did not involve us force killing players…

119

What if your pilots are suicidal? If they’re shot down, the bomb will probably explode, and if they’re not shot down, they’ll drop the bomb anyways.

120

Well, that’s kind of down to them, I mean they -are- player characters…

121

It is down to your suicidal player characters, yes. But what becomes the excuse to not drop the Mana Bomb now?

122

The fact they are ordered not to? I mean what stops the Forsaken Blighting every Alliance hold and claiming a victory? “The boss said no”
