Celtic Heroes

Behemoth, Your response to my polite post questioning your conduct, damns yourself rather than me. It is simply a semi-illiterate rant of hatred, and from a player who doesn't know me at all. Your reputation amongst entire clan spectrum on this server speaks for itself; you never have a good word to say about anyone and are constantly bullying. You are an adult but give no quarter to a 14 year old druid trying to do his daily medal quests. Since the moment I came back to this game you have done nothing but insult me, I presume because you are a great friend of DooByrn (who also loathes me, simply because I dared to start a small clan, that was no threat to his mighty one, and was done to free myself and others from the chief of Golgatha, not to in any way try and compete with Marath).

Yes, I have ranted about some of the behaviour in this game, and I notice it is always adult players (over the age of 20), who cause the greatest distress to players of all ages. That is why I bought it to forums, because I think it needs discussion, and so do many more on this server. As to my Zap stories, I only wrote a couple, and a lot of guys on game (who I don't even know me), said they enjoyed them. I can't see how they were offensive. I can of course accept they would be boring to someone like you, with no imagination, no sense of humour and limited intelligence, but you didn't have to read them!

You exaggerate grossly about the times I have been at any AV bosses, but then your entire 'rant' is a complete exaggeration. In fact I only did Mordis cos I was down there training all the time. I explained how I was at Lower Ley yest. not that I should have to, as I am free to go anywhere I please in this game.

Aileron spoke recently about how even one member of a clan behaving badly reflects negatively on the entire clan, if he is right in that assumption then you are a perfect example. You seem to be behaving as if you are the chief of Avalon....time your real chief and his guards told you to stop treating everyone outside of Avalon like excrement on the sole of your shoe. In the passing I notice in your reply to my post, that you talk about Avalon as if you are a cherished member of it. Apart from your wife, I can assure you many of your fellow clan find your constant bullying and offensive behaviour is starting to give Avalon a bad reputation. Also, many players who respect Avalon wonder how the hell they ever accepted you. My own theory is that you were accepted not only for your high level and that of your wife, but between you so many high level alts (that old saying 'Better to have your enemy inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in' springs to mind).

What ever, as your chief and officers choose not to discipline you, I will indeed make sure I never have the enjoyment of seeing your clan taking big bosses down again (and that really was my only motive). You talk about how the game should be fun, and yet it is people like you Behemoth who do their best to destroy that for the rest of us. All my 'rants' have been born of my frustration that players like you do their best to stop others enjoying the game, that really for some it is not a game at all, but some exercise in wishing to torment others. I think my record speaks for itself, and even now, players who were in AdAstra will say to me, 'I miss it Zap, it was such fun'. Not one ex member of AdAstra has ever said to me that it was miserable in there. Two of those AdAstra guys are now in Avalon, maybe they think I am a complete jerk, but ask them what the atmosphere in AdAstra was like.....I was not a ranting chief and we did have fun.

Lastly, I am not your 'dude' or your 'bro'. Your Bronx gang speak language may sound 'cool' to you, but is in fact moronic. Nor do I appreciate you making any reference to my personal life and who I might have lost in my life, and to even attempt to use something that personal to further insult me....that is way below the belt. Again, along with your smug, silly smily faces threaded through your execrable text, you simply expose yourself for who and what you are: the nasty, spiteful, bullying, arrogant player that anyone who has had the misfortune to come across you, tells me you are. Sadly, I find myself in full agreement with them.

Keep out of my way on game little man.

Sorry Zapper, I can't say anything because I don't know Behemoth.

Lucky you!

so...why make that post if you don't know anything?

@them (zap, behe) is bringing peoples behavior on forums really that important? IMO giving people heads up about a fake scammer etc to try and help others I do appreciate so I know what to look out for, but people already see how they are in game how is discussing it on forums guna help? Lets take thug brat for example talking about how he played in game do anything? all it did was get more topics locked and he still played the same way.

Maybe he is giving you the heads up on who to avoid so you can enjoy the game and not be harassed by bullys

Behe said, " i think myself a quiet man." Far from the truth considering he feels he needs to open his big mouth at every boss fight. Behe, dont think so highly of yourself. You are the scum of Dal Rita LoL...

I do wish there was a way/place for the community to try to protect one another a bit from scams and known scammers. It is unfortunate that there is really no avenue for this.

This game is competitive and I think there is nothing wrong with team spirit or with protecting the team you play with. I think it is great to put your team first and I personally find that friendly competition makes the game fun. And as I said before, if someone is hassling one of my game family, I will step up to protect them. Clan first.

I have a few friends outside of clan who I am happy to help and who I will also defend. One of my great frustrations in Golg was the dictatorial edicts that we were not even allowed to TALK to people outside our clan and god help you if you ever helped out with a nooby boss or trained with someone else. I refuse to play that way anymore. It is simply a game. I will put the needs of my team first, but if a low level friend wants me to help em kill stonefang and I have time and am in the mood, I will do it. End of story.

I do want my clan to succeed, so I'm obviously not going to help an out-of-clan friend with DL bosses or hrung or aggy or any bosses that might hinder us by helping the competition. So there are some lines there to be sure.

When discussions -- here or in shout or in say chat become personal attacks, when the language used is deliberately cruel, hurtful, insulting, badgering, bullying, belittling, It markedly impacts my enjoyment of the game and makes the game stressful for me. I agree with what has been said about the behavior of individuals reflecting upon the clan as a whole and I would hope that everyone - including members of my clan - can avoid the sorts of taunts and belittling insults that sound like skull all over again.

I do not have much time to play right now due to real life issues, but if the culture in Morrigan returns to one of hatred and nastiness, I have no desire to be there. There is no reason for a video game to create stress in a person's life.

Huge agreeance to this relating to all servers, have seen many people leave/quit over such nastiness and have personally relocated to a different server in order to enjoy the game as a game. It's in everyone's best interest to maintain an atmosphere of friendly competition, rather than slandering and putting others down.

There's no thing such as a friendly competition. There will be couple who will have certain greed.

I want to start by saying that even though this thread obviously started aimed personally at someone, I hope we can discuss behavior in general - not pointing at specific individuals or clans. Maybe i should have started a separate thread, but here we are...

Aralus, I understand that it is unrealistic to believe there will be no strife. This is a game, competition is inherent and limited resources ensure that there will be friction. Additionally, the "anonymous" nature of these games allow people to behave in ways that they likely would not in face-to-face situations. I myself have been guilty of that. I also realize the game is played by a wide variety of people - people of all ages, maturity levels, cultures, personalities, individual moral codes, degree of competitiveness, etc.

I do believe it is always possible to hope for and to model behavior which allows people to compete with some degree of respect or good sportsmanship. Maybe it is my own experience in having in-game bullying affect me in real life, maybe it is being a mom, maybe it is my own low-competitive nature, but I find myself increasingly less tolerant of bullying and poor manners in this game.
