The Time of Darkness MUD

On Clan RP

*mutters*

Ok, I'm going to manage to keep my sick ass out of bed long enough to post this so there can be no more confusion on the issue.

I'm seeing something that's becoming more and more frequent and it's starting to bother me. And it's bothering me a lot, it's bothering me to the point where even when I'm not on the mud because I'm dying from the psycho cold from hell I STILL hear about it and get bothered.

What I'm referring to is this BS habit you people have of saying to hell with clan RP just to PK. Horseshit. Every time one particular clan is the current clan with the most members on the Who list, this seems to give people the impression they can screw the clan ethos and clan RP JUST to have the numbers to PK the one clan.. Have I said horseshit yet? Why yes, yes I have.

None of you were forced into your current clans and there are no guns being held to your heads keeping you there. We do NOT want to see clans that have no business working together doing so just because OTS or Dominion or IOoDS is around in numbers.

I don't care if your shiny eq is threatened, there are just clans who would NOT work together and I'm tired of seeing it happen because people are too lazy to RP. We went out of our way to post all the clan info pages before we let anyone join, I remember posting a news urging people to think carefully before they pledged a clan. Just because you chose a clan that currently is low on the who list count does not mean you can re-invent the clan's RP and go out and PK with someone who should be your enemy because you're outnumbered..

This pisses me off in a big way. There are ALWAYS options. Hire Dominion, hire Den, form some sort of bond with someone. Post bounties on the heads of those with the numbers, do something RP to accomplish your cause, cut the lazy crap of fighting with the wrong people.

I don't speak for the rest of the Imms but this is definitely a pet peeve for me and I'm tired of bitching about it. I'm not going to make an issue out of it on the mud if I see it, I'm simply going to Loner your character(s) and make sure no other clan will have you. You cannot have all the luxury that comes with a clan and bend all the RP that also comes with the clan.

Enough said, I'm dizzy and going to sleep.

New Area - Pyramid of OgDoad

The cataclysm which shook the realms long ago had far reaching effects. The explosion of Mount Kurgan disrupted the environ to such an extent that the polar regions were upheaved, changed... a new mountain range was borne, glacial masses formed. But still, the chaos of the event was not appeased, for within the Sands a great storm, a storm as none have seen, came to be, causing the air to be filled with sediments, the wind howling with a strength and bite that could strip the flesh from bone. It is only now, with the return of Order that the storm has settled revealing a long buried pyramid, lost to antiquity. What mysteries surround this edifice, who put it there, what is inside.
