[quote="Elsie":19hedhal]
My reason for doing this, apart from my good nature (I've done this to a lesser extent for many new players), is that he was getting hassled by as I understand it 3 members of DoW who took offence at his name or wanted to buy his char.
I told him not to make a quick decision and gave him eq and gold worth at least 3 times the best offer he'd had, which was a paltry offer at best, I also suggested he get in touch with the clan leader (sorry I've no idea who that is) and explain his name choice and see if there was likely to be ongoing problems and try to come to some arrangement if need be.

To be completely frank I will admit that I find the fact that he's running around with the name Dow and there are clan members with his name in their title funny, personally I find that hilarious, but then I'm warped.

Elsie[/quote:19hedhal]

Well I never knew of any harassment. Lis come to me one day and asked If I knew about said char. I had no idea and figured it was another clan starting a joke. Catherine (Dow) sent me some tells one day asking why she was so popular in titles. I explained about Dogs of War and told her I would happily help with another char and gold to remove any confusion that might occur. She told me she had rolled good stats and wanted to keep them so I was fine with it and didnt think anymore about it. Everyone on Sloth should know that regardless of our 'jackass elitist' attitude we still do more than our fair share to help others. I never thought Rub didnt like Al, and I know him and Aaron like to talk smack. I just honestly don't understand why anyone would want to piss us off. I know Catherine likes to ask alot of simple questions on gossip due to being so new. I guess this might be funny to some since I guess they think its associated with our clan. Seriously we already have Brad if you wanna make jokes. :P

If your helping someone because your nice cool.
If your helping someone because you think its funny. cool
If your helping someone to piss me off...

Understand?

Just what the **** is going on here? I wasn't aware that anyone was 'hassling' this guy Dow, (who I still think is not a true newb). I guess
Lis and Medios offered to buy the character, although I'm not sure why
they would give a damn about it either way. Rub and Elsie like to rub me
the wrong way, I'm sure it's no secret. What's the big deal?

No clue. Read the X-Mas thread. It's more entertaining. (I even got Aaron presents!)

noob

Postby Toxis » Thu Dec 07, 2006 3:37 pm

I'm the DoW noob, yeah yeah... that's why I can't wait for Gimlet to return, he makes me look good. :)~

hehe

As far as this thread goes, it's all just rediculous, and whether Dow is a true newbie or not doesn't make a difference to me. You can't stop people from playing a char name that isn't taken. And if Dow is a true newbie, well then I wish him/her the best of luck playing Sloth because this place is very fun to play at... hey, I wouldn't stay here 15 years if it wasn't.

New Players

Postby Ingold » Thu Dec 07, 2006 5:49 pm

Smile. Ok guys it's too close to Christmas for this. :P Anyway my opinion is that Dow is a new player, who was pulled into this. I have seen this player asking too many "real" new player questions of us in groups and in person.
Anyway my opinion is that names that contain clan's icons can not be used just like in titles during character creation. As a mud evolves then that is when the immortals get to change, fix and sometimes mess things up *grin* as situations arise.
Everyone needs to chill and Dogs of War folks why not get to know this person and invite he or her into your clan if able. (just a suggestion).
Again I do think this is a new player and lets avoid dragging new players into messes like this, so they continue to be able to enjoy Sloth as some of us also do.
I also want to say that as a Clan Member of Dragonsworn this was not a clan situation and I think that Rub was just having some harmless fun, while Elsie was honestly helping out the new player. Great Equipment by the way.

What ever we do let's insure that new players continue to enjoy Sloth.

Hmm what is funny in this?

[quote="juggleblood":3kq0canp]I'm a newb. You're a bitch. So what?[/quote:3kq0canp]

[quote:3kq0canp]Marge -- 'so me and elsie are helping this newbie named dow'
Marge -- 'Just to piss certain people off'
[/quote:3kq0canp]

Or maybe i have no sense of humor?
I have nothing against poor noob. She is nice and smart person.
But I really can't understand Rub's point.
And DS members think it is funny?
