RP'r Harrassing help needed


Blarg

 

Posted

I was in steel canyon university and another player was RPing as a mime, followed me around doing annoying emotes, spamming alakazam react and wouldn't leave me alone. I repeatedly asked it to leave me alone in tells and received in reply "((RP WITH ME OR I WONT STOP))", then back to annoying emotes. Is there any way to stop players from forcing me to RP with them??

At the moment he started to extort you ("RP WITH ME OR I WONT STOP"), he definitely broke the harassment guidelines.

/petition Harassment/Stalking by <Character Name>

And fill out the details.

Even if he didn't say that right away yet continued to do so after you asked the first time, it breaks the rules.

You're basing your opinion of all RPers on a single, potentially-isolated pillock?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

To be honest, I'm thinking that this is a pseudo-reply to Arctic Princess's thread, sort of an answer to "people bugging RPers suck!" with "RPers suck!". To be brutally honest, I'm doubtful that this happened at all.

Giving the benefit of a doubt that it actually did, though, the same answer pretty much applies. Ignore them. If they're actually "physically" harassing you (as much as one "physically" can in the game) by moving you around or keeping you from doing something you're trying to do, then petition them.

no, i base my opinon of rpers off of erp-ing catgirls was just lightheartedly talking about how now we have 2 threads based on rp harrassment, surprising since usually this sort of thing doesn't come up on the main boards.

i do notice that this is deuce though, who admitted that he likes to stir the pot occasionally, so who knows what the story is.

i'd go with this. Accepting his claim as true, then he should petition the fool. Honestly, harassment is harassment, regardless of whether any of the involved parties are trying to RP or not.

Still, the OP's claim sounds more like a cry for attention on the OP's part, or a search for a bridge, than an actual likely story.

Edit: Out of curiosity i took a quick look at the OP's posting history and a recent gem was in this thread: "I put that in my letter to show that I play on both sides of the field, an avid player that loves teaming and taking on large groups AND a complete jerk that gets his lulz from watching a Giant Monster 2 shot people in portal corps or making toon names like 'SGT. Titty Tassle'."
So, yeah, now i have even greater doubts about his claims.

Yeah, my money's on TonyV's interpretation, based on seeing similar copycat counter-complaints in every forum I've participated in on the Internet. It's a pretty standard ploy that, to be brutally honest, I've used myself, although I was not implying a real incident, but a what-if, and trying to be funny.

Yeah I think this one's a joke. I give it an 8 out of 10 for originality, and for using a mime!

Rep is silly

But a more serious thought relating to the OPs original statement is simply that if a mime dies in Paragon and there's nobody to see it, does it make a sound?

Given what I've heard about the original poster, and given what I've seen from his posting history, I find myself in the camp thinking this event never happened, or at least never happened to the original poster as described.

However, I know that events, such as those described, can happen since I've had it happen to me in other games. Case in point for me was Tabula Rasa in which a group of griefers made it a point to follow my known avatars everywhere in the game world, and kill anything I approached. Made travel real easy, but mission completion impossible.

Part of the problem, as I see it, is one outlined by Castle here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...&postcount=139

The GM's may or may not respond in a timely manner to those truely griefed, and in most cases, the griefers seem to get away scott-free.

So, for those looking for a reference on what to do if something like this happens, start taking screen-shots, log your chat file, and be prepared to follow-up with the GM's through the email account associated with your game.

In response to the said RPing mime I have created a Clown toon and my wife and friends have created a band of midget toons. I believe the old saying is, "If you can't beat em, join em".. Now all we need is a /emote jump out of small car thanks for the laughs though everyone.

I'm glad you've taken your trolling from in-game straight to the forums. Who needs to learn lessons anyway?

This is why everyone's favourite tyrant has Mimes hung upside down in the scorpion pit, with the words 'Learn the words' written upside down on the wall.

((Kudos is you know where that comes from ))

That sounds like Lord Vetinari, who is certainly my favorite tyrant.
