Well, fact is indirect player killing is not allowed here.

Anyway, the reveal spell already has that player check in it, but the skill doesn't, so i've added that and it will be effective as soon as i restart.

I am only guessing here smith, but I assume you are the other that was involved with revealing. Going AFK is not against any of the rules since I was not gathering resources, farming gold or leveling a weapon. Knowing none of the creatures in the area can reveal and none have area effect, I should have been perfectly safe being hidden. Right up to the point other players simply felt like being jerks. Perhaps its a way some to get their kicks? As hard as Coli works to keep this shard family friendly, I have to ask: Are players of that caliber really who he wants to play on his shard? I also believe the only whining being heard are the comments made by you.

Who are you in game? I run by there name of Polar Bear. I am the GM of the Little Monsters Clan, and I won't let idiots ruin the playing experience of my guildmates without saying a word.

Getting players killed directly or indirectly by other players is prohibited. End of story.

Nope, def not for me. I think its time to clean house. we dont need peeps here who want to cause trouble b/c we have too many good peeps here. its an infection and if you let people stay around who do this kinda stuff it sets a (lack) of standard for anyone else who likes to pull stunts. sorry that happened to you. it amazes me everyday what people will do. hopefully it wont happen again. oh btw, i dont think removing the ability for players to reveal players is neccesary i just think people need to own up to their wrong doings and be punished for it. alot of us use the spell responsibly and wouldnt use it maliciously. and for anyone who agrees with the ones who pulled this stunt then shame on you. you need to check yourself and ask yourself why you're even here. if you're not looking out for other players and only looking out for yourself then you're on the wrong shard. theres plenty of low end shards where you can go til you mature.

It's revealed, and guild mate. Just since you seem to need that help. My point was that you shouldn't go afk anywhere where you could possibly get killed weather you can hide or not. Stuff happens. Oh and btw I never bashed you crap guild so don't start on mine and try to spell better, I am fine with poor grammar though.

Well i just want to say that no i didnt have anything to do with this. lol i have no idea who was involved with it. and i dont want anyone to get me wrong. i disagree with what was done also. if you know that you can hide there and be totally safe thats cool. i have no problem with thats i think i was missunderstood. i agree with you that the admins +colbri who ever should do something to prevent this in the future. i was simply stating that if you have done this before while afk and nothing everything was fine cool. but ya dont have to watch for yourself. but ya kinda have to look out for other idiots. i mean its obvious they did it just because they got a kick out of it. and now that its fixed or gonna be fixed they cant do it again but given the oppurtuinity because someone is afk... wich i understand is not illegal or against the rules in any way. except under the aforementioned circumstances. just kinda want to ask everyone a question. if you leave home to go anywhere to do something what ever life may bring. and no one else is home. do you lock the doors on your house or do you leave them unlocked? and when you came back to say find out someone had came in and stolen alot of your stuff would you be suprised? theres just certian things that ya don't do. what went on here was wrong i agree. and they should be spoken with. just dont always depend on things ya never know what can happen :scared:

English is not my first language. But it's still interesting to see how low one can go when he has no valid argument. Are you really bashing on my spelling and grammar? Well, think about this:

"I never bashed you crap guild" ...your "crappy" guild
"Oh and btw I..." Missing a comma and an exclamation point.

... since you seem to need that help.

WOW! ok first thing I was the one to reveal calan caitlin. i did it cause i am evil. NOT
this definately got blown outta proportion. i hid went afk came back and was unhid and craig was there with his horses protecting me in case something popped up and so it amused me to invisible him and all his horses and then to reveal them and as some may know the detect hidden skill has an area range and he was standing there. hey i got revealed too ya know! so am i a victim also?
and I DID NOT INTENTIONALLY TRY TO REVEAL HIM!!!!!!!
i cant believe i have to explain all this to you all. maybe we do need pvp to keep you guys occupied so you dont make a big deal out of NOTHING.
in short... me and craig were just fooling around hiding revealing like we always do wherever we go
THE END

I think you are both being childish now. I know you dont agree with the way everything happened fingers which is good but don't stoop to their level of word punches b/c it weakens your stand yuh know? stick to the point of the thing and dont get off track and people will get it or not, but its not your problem whether they do or dont as long as you stick to the real issue.

Llexa, I would never talk about some people spelling and grammar, I just wanted to illustrate how stupid this false argument was. I beleive it's called sarcasma, in English.

And june, I do not buy your story, but whatever, this is not going to be an issue at next restart.

Hahahahaha, you seem to also not get jokes... Or know how to read English. (reread my last statement in the quote) I do however know that my not be funny to you, fingers (polar bear). And really all i missed was a comma (grammar) so you really are just an idiot. "you" and "crap guild" were two different things. Sorry for your confusion. I know lists can be hard to understand.

Oh, another thing. If the words are spelled right then it falls under grammar not spelling. So again you are wrong, Fingers (polar Bear) or (Polor Baer) that's how you spell it in your English right?

I had assumed that this topic would stay its course, however that is not the case. This thread is now closed.
