The tale of the KewL DooD and the Jackal at the YMCA


'Sup! I am the unequivocal KewL DooD. Let me tell you my tale. I was macroing spirit speak and hiding at the YMCA in yew on Sonoma, with my disposable pretty-much-newbie character, the lovable KewL DooD. My macro included the text "please leave me alone, I am macroing"
I come back from lunch, and Jackal is killing me. Timing was great, one blow later, I died. So I rez at the handy healer, come back and ask Jackal why he killed me. He says "you wouldn't answer me so I got suspicious"

Now, the folks at the Y know me....I may be mildly annoying, but I don't steal or loot (or fight worth a crap) I add character to the place....I sit on the stool at the bar and make with the witty repertoire...

duh. so maybe I was lagged out (that was black hole day) and my text didn't appear...so he killed me for standing there too threateningly. So I put a huge 1 gp bounty on his head.

I come back later, and find Jackal and Amadeus running around killing thieves in the Y, and Jackal tells Amadeus all sorts of wicked lies about KewL DooD....and I get killed twice more. With perfect Ghandi-like demeanor, I don't resist. I do, however, make several comments about "am I sitting on the bar stool too threateningly?" eliciting amusement from the folks around...

Now Amadeus isn't a bad guy...He later figured out he had been lied to. I call him "Amadeus the Easily Misled" now, and we are on friendly speaking terms.... I think he regrets trusting Jackal too much...

So, next day I come back to the Y (hey, I like it there) Jackals back, and now says I was locking people out of the Y as well as stealing, looting, and PKing (with my massive 27 HPs). He PKed me again. No-one else believed him, this time...and he didn't keep good count of his murders either. He went red. The YMCA in yew can be a pretty rough and tumble place! Poor ol' Jackal didn't last long....poor guy was nicely equipped. A friendly stone cold warrior DooD dispatched him handily.

I, however, obeyed the YMCA's no looting policy. The only thing of Jackal's that I got was his liver.

So, to paraphrase

KewL DooD got dead
and Jackal got Red
I didn't get his head
but got his liver instead

Here lies Jackal

He got DooDicated

The moral of the story is, if you are going to PK newbies, please learn to count to at least 5.
