MP: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 8: A Dance with Illithids

[Admiral_Aorta]

Little known fact: Torgon is actually a galapagos giant tortoise.

[bbz]

Has anyone talked to him?

[iRFNA]

I sent him a PM, but it has yet to get a response. I'll probably have to look for a sub soon unless something changes.

[bbz]

yep:S

[Thanatus del Dragos]

Boo to slow players. Yea, I went there, Boo!

[Finalgenesis]

Well he was logged onto forum sometime midway through that last game turn.

I presume he staled that turn, as there's no communication/post from when he's logged on nor taking his turn, and this isn't the first time. I'd say it looks pretty bad and we should just shoot for a sub if there's no reply to your pm for another day.

I really am tired of playing coy and playing polite to players obviously lacking a molecule of consideration, I seem to run into 1 or 2 every MP game. Past a certain point its up to the possible culprit to prove their innocence, not us having to play PC until proven beyond a doubt.

So Torgon, prove me wrong! You're not an ahole lacking a single molecule of consideration, are you?

[bbz]

Thats a bit harsh, but yea I'd say go for the sub or we might keep on seeing 48 hrs turns + him staling.

[Finalgenesis]

Na not really, that's 13 other human players he's holding up, what's harsh is him not taking even 15 seconds to make a post or pm admin (even if just to say he still plans to play but is busy with real life stuff, rather then leave us hanging and in limbo) especially when his profile showed him to be logged onto forum last turn, it's been ongoing for 3-4 turns and we have made polite comments and inquiries to no avail.

Why won't some people spend even 15 seconds to clarify the situation for other human players? Because they are aholes without a molecule of consideration, in fact I consider them going out of their way to ruin a game, these aholes should never be allowed in any MP game and I make an effort to look through all the new recruiting MP games and pm admin if I notice known scums to make sure these scums don't make it into a game where normal players try to have fun and infect it.

Now we haven't gotten to the point where Torgon is confirmed to be one of these creatures, from my past experience it's only 50/50 at this juncture, and at this point it's up to him to prove he's not one of them, not for us to play nice and coddle him.

All I ask is 1 molecule of consideration of players joining a MP game, but unfortunately the anonymous nature of internet brings out the true scumbag hiding just beneath the skin of some folks.

I will end by quoting our excellent host iRFNA to put things in perspective:
"If you want to quit mid-game for whatever reason, please allow me to find a sub! Just post and say you're done! Having someone stale out or spontaneously go AI really sucks! It's ok if you're losing and want to quit, just say so in this thread and let me find a sub!!!"

[bbz]

Well Im still new to thes forum and I guess thats why I have bigger thrust in people. Mb he couldn't PM or sth. If he actually posted some other comment somewhere I'd agree with you.

[iRFNA]

Well, I'm not going to have niefelheim stale another turn. If it starts to look like he's gonna do it again, which it already is starting to, then I'm going to have gandalf kill the timer and find a sub. I'll still give him today to reappear.
