  Oh please. I bitched at newbies? Get real. I have logged in newbie chars for
the specific purpose of leading newbies to the Newbie Academy. I've answered
posts here from people wanting help getting started. I've stopped posting in
an effort to get away from this personal flaming bull-shit. Hell, I started 
the big cross-gender episode last time. I've made a point of not posting this
time, with regards to it. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET AWAY FROM THE MORONIC
ASSES WHO THINK THEY CAN FLING INSULTS WHEN THEY AREN'T BABIED AND BOWED TO?
I mean JESUS CHRIST, I make a point of being extremely fair. Fair to the point
of pissing folks off. I'm damned either way I go. 
  
  I was in NO WAY involved with this Vaithus bullshit. The first I heard about
it was his post here. My only comment on it, is to remember that the mud is the
property of those who run it. NOT the players. True, a good Admin sees himself
as providing a service. There is a responsibility to it. But I am sick and 
FUCKING tired of people bitching and moaning every time something they dont like
 happens. If you have EVER had ANY experience dealing with players on an Admin
or high level God situation, then I'll listen to you and give you the courtesy
of listening and considering your point of view. If you have never been in the 
situation you so vehemently criticize, then there is no weight to your words.

  How did I know I would be the "default" God who would be singled out? Jeez,
some people are so predictable. Last time I screwed up. I admit that. I'm not
perfect. It most likely wont be the last time I screw up. But I'll be damned if
I keep taking heat for something LONG OVER everytime a slightly similar issue
comes up.

  In closing: Your attitudes show you have little or no experience as to the
crap Wizzes and Gods put up with. Of course, you did post you were relatively
new to muds. I get tired of people asking me to stat them, load for them, kill
for them, find objects for them, and give them other non-mortal information. If
I have snapped at any newbies, I am sorry. But I stand firm on my views of 
equip-hogging and multiple characters. I'll also trash any Immorts I catch
cheating. Maybe being fair pisses folks off and wears my patience thin. I live 
with it, So can you.

  About Apocalypse II:  Its no where near standard Diku. I was built from the
Temple base code which was at one point the cutting edge of Diku. It is still
one of the best. Most players with extended Diku experience will notice this
and the fact that it has been HEAVILY modded. I am tired of explaining this 
and wont post on it again.


  Basically, find a new punching bag. Someone who deserves it. And if you arent
lilly white yourself, dont "cast any stones".

-Chris, Default Target of Moronic Flamage
