I love google. This word only came up when a certain word (7th from last in rant) wasn’t reconized as a real word on spellcheck.net (which I also love). It seems to describe this quite well to say the least.
I’m still in insane-energized mode from blogathon. Sitting here dancing, in a good mood.
Then some people were complete asses and just plain mean on dofus. This lead me to a rant about how people have no honor anymore. This completely sickens me that I even have to write this. I hate ranting, and when you’re forced to rant about something that shouldn’t be an issue it makes it worse. I attempted to keep it clean, but vulgarity slipped itself in there. So I’ve put it in the extended to keep it from anybody who may be offended by it. So look in the extended if you want to see it.
Bah, I’m going to find something else to do. I need to wait for certain people to come online to help me out on dofus, I’m done playing fair, everybody is playing dirty so I need help playing dirty. Until they come online, I need to find something to make me feel better. I hate when people play dirty, it ruins the fun for everybody else. Bah -.-
Honor Rant: Beware, ends up being quite vulgar
So I hop on dofus to waste some time. So killing some stuff on moon island (where you can’t aggress other people) and it’s all good. A guildie needs something, so I leave moon. While off the island some low level challenges me to see my spells; that’s cool I like helping newbies. So we have a mock-dual and I show him some stuff, he asks to see my gear. No problem, I finish the battle and take my gear off to show him. The second it’s off, a person 30 levels higher decides to attack me. Fantastic, what a coward, waits until I take my stuff off to attack me. So I have 821 HP compared to my normal 1215 HP.
So I’m mad, but I still have my level 5 wings to wear all my gear, so it’s not important (in player vs player you gain/lose honor points and get rank, rank is needed for certain gear). For the gear I have, rank 5 is the highest I need for the gear I have, so I try to avoid PvP since I have no gain from it. Anyway, I go to my in-game house to pick up some bread. The second I leave it, I’m attacked again: 4 vs 1, all of them level 100 to 115 (I’m only 126). Yet another unfair battle, this time I’m downgraded to rank 4 and can no longer wear my belt. Now I’m mad.
So I decided to go to Bonta’s (the ones attacking me) city. They won’t be expecting me to attack them from the center of their city. So I go the nearest zaap to run there, 1 screen from the zaap I went to: Attacked 3 vs 1. This time they’re levels 155, 120 and 103. Great, even more honor points lost. What completely pisses me off here is that the 155 and I already fought. He had me scrolled (so he can track me anywhere) and after we fought he destroyed the scrolls, he just wanted to get revenge for a guild member I killed; that’s totally justified. So I figured “Ok, Contre (155) and I had our fight, he won’t attack me again”. Yeah, what a dick, he attacked me 3 on 1.
Note that when attacking people, I attack the person once, and we fight. I feel attacking somebody again is just mean, and uncalled for. To beat somebody repeatedly who is trying their best is like an artist telling a pre-schooler his picture is crap. The only reason that I would attack them again is if they were a poor sport, win/lose isn’t important; a fight is a fight.
So I’m now more then 300 points down from being able to wear my belt again. Which is crap. I lose a minimum of 130 for every fight, yet only gain 20-100 for winning one because I attack people 1 vs 1 (player vs player, not ganging people player vs player&player&player). You can easily get more points ganging up on people because there is less chance of losing. WTF is up with a game that promotes people to be cowardly pieces of shit?
Online or offline, I think I hold a fair amount of pride and honor towards other people. However it seems that today nobody else does, which is incredibly sad. In the past you would see people having duals using swords 1vs1 to the death; an honorable fight. However now you have cowards (not saying any north American countries with a red, white and blue flag in particular) who use bombs to attack people from a distance so they can’t defend. Win or lose, there is no honor it attacking a target who can’t defend them self. What excuse do they have? Yeah, I’m sure that sickly dying kid in Iraq was dangerous, huh?
Now what is this rant going towards you ask? My internal system has always been based on the idea of “If you’re going to do something, do it with honor and respect.” You can’t have honor if you’re attacking somebody who is defenceless. You want to take their lives, put yours on the line as well.
So as this doesn’t seem to work anymore, I’m going to start putting through a trail having no honor and no respect for people anymore unless it’s good for me. Some examples of this:
On dofus: I’m going to start attacking people with a group; completely make a fool of them. And I’ll do it over and over again.
On youtube/commenting sites: I’m not going to give people CC (constructive criticism) anymore, I’m just going to say they’re dumb, they suck and should give up. Because that seems to be what everybody does lately.
So simply put, I’m going to try being mean. Until a person shows me their not an asshole, I’m going to assume they are and going to act like a complete dick towards them. So be ready fucktards, I hope you fucking die shitbags.
