waste of oxygen burden

i like it a lot when oxygen burden gets wasted - away away CO² (for all you nongermans: ² sounds spoken: zway )

[tsvaɪ], to be correct

then here's to hoping a quick but fatal car wreck in Real Life solves the problem of the needless waste of oxygen burden you place on this earth. And yeah, I really sincerly mean that.

someone has issues

Definitely!

Lol, my exact words when Rhiannon implied to me that everyone who chooses to play a 'griefer' would one day grow up to gun down innocent school children, there really is no point trying to discuss anything with her - I've since wondered if she has had some horrific rl experience which has clouded her reasoning.

Interesting.

In all seriousness though, I had thought about playing a raider a few times. Why? Because I need to re-learn danger and learning how to die once more which, in my opinion, is actually an important part of a player's staying power in Haven. Odd as it may sound, learning how to cope with death or loss of a base is a required skill and a steel yourself for the loss of a character (and I do not mean disposable vandalism alts). Also, as a raider, I will inevitably be tracked, assaulted, and re-learning how to think on my feet once more. (Of course should I go with the plan, I apologize to my quarry ahead of time.)

I do not really consider myself a bad or evil person. However, polite as I try to be, I am not 100% virtuous either. Though to be truthful, those type of people are very rarer and even the ones that seem to be are mostly but not completely as circumstances may cause them to take less-than-virtuous methods or perish. What kind of person do I consider myself to be? An analytical one.

Ditto.

When I played Salem, that was my exact intention, I even used another name over there so as not to be associated with the mayhem I was going to cause, I wanted to see what it felt like and why people play that way, lol, it never worked out.

I raided one camp, felt incredibly guilty afterwards, esp when the person I raided never returned - or not to that camp anyway - but, it was sort of exciting at the time of the raid, so I at least get that.

Shortly afterwards I killed a thief, who blatently stole from me whilst I stood there asking him/her to stop, when they just laughed in my face and carried on taking my items, I lost my temper and engaged in combat. I fully expected to die, being totaly unconfident and unknowledgable in combat, but to both our surprise I ko'd him/her, I could have stopped there but i'd recently aquired the kill skill and still being annoyed I used it. Needless to say I felt even more guilty, even though they brought it on themselves, not to mention my own fear of being summon killed by the scents I left, and that was the end of my criminal career.

So, whilst its not for me, I do at least understand it, if you can live with the guilt or not feel it, it's a fun and exciting way to play. I don't like being raided anymore than anyone else and i've admitted before that I cried in W5 when I was murdered and my base destroyed but I don't blame people for choosing that style of game play and I certainly don't think they are all evil.

I am also an analytical type, I feel the need to understand everything from people and thier actions/reactions to the workings of the universe, lol, and I don't exclude myself from it either.

Not quite the same. I am doing it mostly for combat experience reasons while yours is mostly for understanding/empathy reason, though both of us do it for (different) knowledge. However, as a side effect, we always learn each other's experience as well (with me being in a shoes of one and you learning how to fend for yourself). Kind of amusing how our reasons converge.

AN UPDATE TO THE OP:

So since I got raided, at the time I just logged and hoped for the best, i'm back in to playing comfortably now, fixed up my place and went on with my life. I didn't know that a friend i also play with actually come on WHILST they were getting in, KO'd him and took his keys.

Upon closer inspection, the only thing to be taken was 3 peculiar flotsams... nothing else. absolutely... nothing...

They didn't break anything, take anything or even kill a cow/bull.


But today as I was working on my farm, i noticed my hunger being rather low, took my alt to my table to eat and there before me (still nothing missing) laid 5 pieces of Q173 beef.

I think I just witnessed some kind of friendly banditry, where they break in to your place and if they keep a key, will bring you stuff?

They also replaced the keys with only one of them missing. the only key is to one of the gates into the palisade (i know get a brick wall...) but still, the fact they now seem to be giving me stuff, i'm not sure if this is down to guilt or the fact that almost all of my stuff's quality shouldn't even consider being in existance or what... but I kind of like it aha!

Anybody else got any friendly bandit-like stories?

They added beef to the table slots to feed [FEP] their paly-bashing raiding character and simply left some scraps behind. They killed you and a buddy then sat down for a nice meal ... at your dinner table. This wasn't an act of egalitarian kindness, its an insult.

I came across two guys in a boat who started hurling insults at me for no reason. :/

Griefers will distract you with insults whilst using the [destroy] function on your boat. When the boat is destroyed, you drown.

nonono, perhaps i wrote it badly, i didn't get killed. they just knocked out my buddy, didn't kill him. And the beef wasn't when they raided. they must have came back and put the beef there. when they raided I just assumed the worst and was ready to set off the next day after I was sure they were gone in search of a new place to build. But yeah, what I meant was that they actually came back, again with teh key. Let themselves in, took nothing and then put the beef on the table.
