[grimjim]

SARCASTIC DISCLAIMER
-----------------------
This quiz in NO WAY whatsoever inspired by the latest invasion or the behaviour of The Usual Suspects during that event. Uh uh, no way, no how, cross my heart, etc.

QUIZ!
-----
Find out whether you should go anywhere near any events with the following quiz!

Q1 - Nothing has happened for, ooh, at LEAST thirty seconds. Do you...
A) Attack something, preferably something high level that herds and stands a good chance of wiping out half the people here?
B) Have a loud conversation using shout or region chat that has nothing whatsoever to do with Ryzom?
C) Chat quietly with your team or help the guides build up the event by talking in character?

Q2 - The guide characters are trying to set the scene for the upcoming event with some roleplay and exposition. Do you...
A) Kibbitz and heckle, taking special care to be OOC as you do so and to complain about the devs, guides and any other pet hates of yours?
B) Run back and forth leading a train of Mektoubs and saying 'LOL' a lot?
C) Aid the build up by talking in character, arguing about the in game issues of the day or acting like good little soldiers?

Q3 - The gathered players are from a lot of different levels and a lot of different computer set ups. Some aren't as fast or as high level as you. Do you..
A) Not care, n00bs are lame. ROFLMAOBBQ!!!!!1111!!!ONE!?
B) Charge on ahead, you cliffed your way to level 250 legitimately and why should you have to share any glory or worry about anyone else having a good time.
C) Hang back a little and make sure everyone is grouped up together.

B) Start bragging about how many people you have killed down here and what level you are?
C) Ignore it, unless it's part of the event?

Q5 - Someone outside your team drops dead in front of you during the event. Do you...
A) Laugh, use the point and dance emotes at them and shout 'PWNED!'?
B) Ignore them, you're too busy looking after your own team and getting some elemental XP?
C) Help them up, strength in numbers?

Q6 - The event is over. Time to go, but a few people are still hanging around. Do you...
A) Spam them with duel requests constantly?
B) Brag about how you're level 250 in elemental and that you've killed a gazillion times more enemies than they have?

[vinnyq]

woa, cancer of the genitals a bit harsh, dontcha think? Maybe just wish for a burning sensation when they tinkle or something.

(missed the event, so can't take quiz, but still keep away from Jyudas just in case the curse is AoD)

I got 2 points... thought I might have more since I am opposite of the spectrum to what you like IG.

Bear in mind events/RP are not just for the storyteller group...

One Point

Q3 - The gathered players are from a lot of different levels and a lot of different computer set ups. Some aren't as fast or as high level as you. Do you..
B) Charge on ahead, you cliffed your way to level 250 legitimately and why should you have to share any glory or worry about anyone else having a good time.

Guilds and teams are responsible for dragging along folks... We want action wherein you want the story...

One Point

Q5 - Someone outside your team drops dead in front of you during the event. Do you...
B) Ignore them, you're too busy looking after your own team and getting some elemental XP?

Guilds and teams are responsible for dragging along folks... It goes "Jena, Melinoe, Team, then others..." Once the priority in front goes away, you go back for the others... Tend to those on their feet first or you may all be on your backs.

We are each allowed (Yes, I saw the clown with the mektoub as well) to play this game in the way that is best for us. You shouldn't make a poll that degrades anyone that doesn't choose to play the way you like. It only makes the rift between players wider...

Someone missed the point and the joke I feel.

However, I'll expand a little for you.

Its not even necessarily a matter of roleplay/story, its a matter of ettiquette and not being a selfish muppet.

Whether you charge on looking for 'action' or not you are denying people the opportunity to participate and you are not acting like a sensible army or group. You are being selfish.

That's a constant whether you're a roleplayer or not.

Grimjim,

This is a great way to inject some humor in to a not so humorous topic.

I'd love to think this will have some effect on the behavior of a few of the less tolerable participants, but truthfully I know it won't. Still, it gives us that do try not to ruin it for others (whether intentional or not) a good healthy laugh, and the knowledge that we are not the only ones bothered by such things. Sometimes knowing we share concerns with others make them more tolerable.

At the same time, it shouldn't flame the offenders into rants that would serve no purpose except reward their already offending behavior. This is always a good thing.

Kudo's for brightening my day.

"Guilds and teams are responsible for dragging along folks... We want action wherein you want the story..."

The two are not seperate.

"Guilds and teams are responsible for dragging along folks... It goes "Jena, Melinoe, Team, then others..." Once the priority in front goes away, you go back for the others... Tend to those on their feet first or you may all be on your backs."

Fine during guild hunts etc, but not in the coming together of large events.

"We are each allowed (Yes, I saw the clown with the mektoub as well) to play this game in the way that is best for us. You shouldn't make a poll that degrades anyone that doesn't choose to play the way you like. It only makes the rift between players wider..."

IMO its the few acting like asses that cause the problems. I'll refrain from pointing out some of the congruences between attitude on forum, PK/PVP advocacy and acting like a problem child in the game. That would be mean...

[grimjim]

You would have hoped eh?

Humour is good for making points, but people do often take it the wrong way.

C'est la vie.
