Here's a few rants I have had lately. I've never posted in here before, and I am not so sure what good it will do, other than to get it off of my chest - but we will see. If I come up with more at a future date, I will add to this thread, rather than start a new one. So anyway, here's my opening salvo:
Rad's Rants:
1. Yes, it is very cool that you can colorize your text in chat windows, but understand that the *background* of my chat windows are black. If you choose to colorize your text to a dark color, don't be surprised if I choose to ignore you, rather than spend the next several minutes trying to decipher what it is that you just said. Trust me - if you aren't important to me in some way, it's very likely I don't care what you said anyway...get over it.
2. Far be it from me to tell you how to play your game. We all do what makes us happy while we are here. However, if a gaggle of you choose to spend your time sitting in a coffee clutch primping, preening and boasting right smack in the middle of New Trismus town square, don't get all butt hurt if my toon ends up running through your toon. Complaining to me about it will have absolutely no effect on me, whatsoever. Deal with it.
3. I'm a very nice guy - really, I am. I actually *like* to help newer players along by crafting something they need, or helping on a quest, etc. but understand something - if I choose to help you in some way, I am doing you a FAVOR. If you start speaking to me, or acting towards me like I am putting you out or like I owe you anything, I will finish doing what I said I would do for you - and that will be the last favor you get, from me - ever.
