Eerie Sightings in the Mire...

[Captain Whale]

Aye Sven,

I am assuming yer meaning the bad pirates are testing the GM's. If so I agree tis a sad thing to see. That's why I be advocatin we start lettin these scallywags know how we feels. Me guild knows not to do this and that they be gettin one warning fer it. Me mates are abiddin by this and we even have a group that talks and goes a huntin fer the ghosts.

I ask the GM's to talk to yer guilds about this and let'em know to respect the GMs. There will always be disrupters in online games. Some folk find this to be fun. If we all band together and show our displeasure most can be handled. The rest can be tossed from the game by the GM for all I care. At some point the GMs will be forced to stop these events or start bannin pirates for it. Let's do what we can to curtail those that just need some advisin.

alright, sorry fer the rant but it's redicuous. Thx fer your post Sven and all the others what feel this way.

Captain Whale, are you implying that a Guild Master should ban anyone that goes into the ghosts' house?

If so, I see this as ridiculous.

I fully agree that you should respect the GM, but how is it disrespectful to want to be the antagonist in the storyline? I can understand pirates testing to be KO'd. But other than just walking in the house, I don't see how anyone would make the GM angry through chat. And if they do, they deserve more than just a KO.

If we all band together and show our displeasure most can be handled.

Why would he have displeasure from people walking into a house, exactly? Unless there is rude chat, I don't see why you should tell someone not to go into the house.

Once I meet the ghost I'll go along with the little storyline and probably walk in the house as a "foolish pirate". Does that make me bad? No. I simply have no time in my real life. Some of us can't wait hours and hours to meet this ghost. And if we do, we'll be curious and odds are we'll try to see what this GM can do.

It's a game, remember, and if people want to walk into a house and get KO'd they should be allowed to. Seems very odd to want to get knocked out, but if they want to, let them. It's not like anything important is going to be said by the ghost, although only seeing one person get knocked out would be better than, say, ten.

I just don't see how any important information would come from a GM. Important information should be on the Lore on the pirates site, not from the game, where only few may get information.
