Meeting to chars with the names of dead people my chars have known giving me a slight creep at times. It's just like seeing a ghost. :D

I hope that when they wake up they're all bedraggled, because it's rained a lot and they're not using their lovely umbrellas.


Similar to this, town leaders who sleep and sleep and sleep holding important keys, not so much as batting an eye or offering more than the occasional feeble (ooc: I'm still playing the game, I'll be awake soon don't worry) ...while other characters you know have the same player are awake.

If you don't care about the character or their town anymore just...hand over the keys and use the old age death. It only takes a moment.

Even more annoying because you know if anyone was to finally get fed up and drag them off somewhere they'd be instantly, magically awake and enraged at their 'betrayal' :roll:

Emergencies aside, I'll probably start reporting those OOC messages if they aren't accompanied by an IC justification. It's not fair to expect people to roleplay based on an OOC message.

Yes. This. Dragons. It really limits everyone and some towns have so much potential. Same thing happens if it goes on so long that you try and unlock some important rooms for useful things you can't access. Dragons.

The kind of guys that are always emoting about how powerful their muscles are or drawing attention to their scars or whatever, in a 100% serious fashion.

Not annoying I guess, so much as it makes me roll my eyes and laugh a lot. We poke fun at women with the ridiculously oversexualized descriptions, and I guess that's basically just the male version. :P

Ahahaha yes, I find that hysterical too. Also the brooding badass guys who make 20 silent moody emotes in a row.

When a tick before starvation kills a bunch of sleepers with keys, cars and gear, a dude shows up with kilos and kilos of spare food, feeds them all without a word, and drives off again.

Your fault for not filling their arms with bones in advance.

Eh, just kill them. I feel like it's fair game at that point!

I believe dung is traditional. A warm, wafting armful of it.

I'll admit that I've deliberately fed starving people before, just to troll a few vultures transparently hoping they'll die but not having the balls to come out and actually say so or do anything about it. :twisted:

My char was just being compassionate, it's not like they were ever told otherwise. :P

That's why I hide sleepers in a building with no window :twisted:

If I tried that, the sleepers would wake up just long enough to murder my character, then go back to starving.
