DKP Minus?

Post by Phil the Fisher »

Apparently I won a raffle the other day and found a tan scroll in my bank box with the following text:

Deed for 50 DKP Minus
Whelps...Left Side. Even Side...MANY WHELPS!
:Now...Handle It!!! :

I have absolutely no idea what this is for or what I should do with it. Does anyone know what this does? I've tried double clicking it and dropping it on me, but nothing happens.

That is hysterical! Brought me back to the days of Leroy Jenkins!

Never link ANYTHING on the forum that leads to violating language and discussion rules of this shard's codex. You have been here for a while Gwendolyn, you should know better.

Oh that's hilarious V.

Oh sure, it's fine for you to put an object in game in a players bank box that will invariably lead them to the source(All they have to do is Google the phrase) but if I link something on the forums it's wrong.


all I can say is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool


How many months was that raffle item sitting infront of the trinsic bank waiting for people to mouse over it and see the phrase, ask questions and get answers like the one I gave?

you going to infract all those people to?

you going to infract yourself for bringing the source into the shard in the first place?

I know you're a smart guy V, surely you can see the logical fallacy of this.

Lol Gwendolyn, this IS hilarious.

Surely there isn't anything else in this game that can be further googled and eventually lead them to a location on the nets that is questionable as far as compliance to the shard rules.

Perhaps we should get rid of the drinking references that the imps say? Maybe "Balron Damnation" is too taboo since one could google that and have it eventually lead to an evangelical Christian site that is very puritan in nature, which would not only be promoting a religon on the shard but also making people think they will be going straight to hell for playing a game that deals with magic. I mean, there are pentagrams all over the game too, that surely can't help.

It was a gag item that was unique in nature, it referenced a pretty well known event in the online gaming community, and importantly...it did not violate the rules by using profanity or directly linking to the original video...which is what you did.

The item was up for maybe a day or two before +Colibri hid it due to a pending discussion of this very nature. The auction ended before any final discussion on keeping/leaving it was conducted. Not too sure about the fate of that item, it may be deleted and the player reimbursed.

You are a smart person Gwen, surely you can see that your post would eventually lead to it being removed and you being talked to for violating the rules.

This is a game rated T for teen with blood gore violence and all manor of things deemed inappropriate by this shards hypocritical rules.

You said it!
Edit the unarmored or unclothed paper dolls so they are wearing undershirts and shorts rather than underwear as well.
actually send me an e-mail i bet i could pick through tons of stuff that should be deemed inappropriate.

by the time im finished we'll have a game similar to packman mixed with pong!

Didn't violate any rules directly. Directly is the key word here.

I don't know why i'm even bothering to argue this point, since we live in a society that finds euphanism acceptable for expression of things inappropriate or unmoral in nature. But who is all this for, whats all this hub bub about....Oh sure it might be put in place to protect people who get "offended" but ultimately, it's meant to protect children, right? But what is the one thing a child is always guaranteed to have? Curiosity. So in the end, I find most Euphanisms to be self serving and pointless. But thats just my opinion, one i have seen in the past clearly not shared by larger portions of the populace.

The item was up for maybe a day or two before +Colibri hid it due to a pending discussion of this very nature. The auction ended before any final discussion on keeping/leaving it was conducted. Not too sure about the fate of that item, it may be deleted and the player reimbursed.
so you're admitting i'm simply a victim of circumstance due to a mistake some one among the staff made? Good.

i c wut u did thar. heeheee

Look,

I get that you thrive almost entirely off of this sort of mixture of online picketing and point proving, like a panda bear and bamboo...so I will leave you at it with this:

You linked to a video that violated forum/shard rules. It was deleted, and I pointed out that you have indeed been here long enough to know that what you did was not the right thing to do.
