She/He always gets flamed by the odd random idiot for telling kids stories, but she/he carries on regardless. It's nice to see someone just trying to entertain the masses for selfless purposes.

Everyone who came in did a double take, and then most came and sat quietly in the circle (including myself). It was the cutest thing.

That wouldn't be my criteria at all. Consider the opposite: the basis for whether a player is a jerk or not is how that player behaves towards other players in this cooperative game. For example, a jerk can be considered one who doesn't play with a team spirit, or who commands or berates other players, or who leaves in the middle of a mission for no good reason (like, dinner is ready or I'm dead, etc.) or who scribbles obscene images on the map view, etc. etc. So in my mind, a "nice" player is one who really tries to make the other players in the team feel comfortable and have an enjoyable and exciting time while playing this game. And in my opinion that means not only good team play but also a good humor and good spirit. |

I didn't understand the 55 build or the skills very well at that point so I didn't know what they were doing wrong; I was just frustrated. In ToA local chat I said something like "is there even one 55 here who can survive the first mob?" A monk with pale blue FoW partied with me. He paid the entrance fee, and IIRC we cleared the entire top half of UW without a hitch. He played faster than I'd ever seen until then, and smooth -- no loitering around between groups, just running from one aggro to the next. He pulled aggros so big they scared me, and nightmares appeared everywhere but he calmly wanded them to death and waited for me to spam my spells; nothing seemed to faze him. If I screwed up on the smites and they stripped my hexes, he'd say something like "np take your time". We farmed together off-and-on for months. We watched each other closely during runs, learning tricks and sharing advice, refining our techniques and timing until "speed runs" were effortless -- we could do spider runs in 20 minutes or so. But of all the things I learned from farming with Mitch, the greatest things were patience, understanding and generosity. We don't farm much anymore, but whenever he's not online, I'll party with inexperienced 55s in ToA. I sometimes pay for any gear or skills they need, and I pay the entrance fees. When they screw up and die, I tell them it's no big deal, I've died thousands of times; I explain what they did wrong and how to fix it. And I usually give away the first ecto that drops, because they're playing for money and I'm "only" playing for companionship. |

After about 5 minutes, he shows up, Pumpkin crown and 1k Kurzick armor on. He did, WORD FOR WORD, Mad King Thorn's speech (including bad jokes), giving away gifts to people who beat him in rock paper scissors. More and more people showed up at the hall, danced, chatted etc. Eventually, he left the hall, leaving the alliance feeling generally happier. He actually did an anniversary-of-Mad-King-Lau do this year too, on around the same date xD Lau if you happen to read this, we love you <3 |
