runescape

[Marc Summers]

I usually hate people who act like total assholes in MMOs, but this was the exception. They were better than the people who played this game seriously.

Some of my assholery:

Tricking a low-level person into a caged area after he demanded my armor for a ludicrously low price. The gate locks behind you, and the only way to unlock it was to defeat some skeletons inside that dropped a key. They were too strong for him, and I laughed the whole way out amid a stream of obscenities and death threats.

I got pissed off at somebody who demanded that I strip for them. I was surprised, since I was a male character. Anyway, I refused, since he probably wanted my armor and weapons and crap. He then tried to kill me, which failed. Then I followed him around for a bit, interrupting his tree-chopping by standing in front of a tree he was about to cut down and babbling about virgin forests and logging rights. He tried to kill me again, unsuccessfully. I then dropped a piece of wood on his corpse. I again left the scene laughing with PMs of death threats and misspelled cuss words to avoid the language filter.

Eventually, I grew tired of that, too, and finally stopped. If it wasn't such a crappy game infested with even crappier people, I'd give a damn.
