Spoilers.

[Curiose]

This may be just a rant, but I do believe that I have some valid points to this.

I am -tired- of newbies giving away information to other newbies. Yes, I am not so much a veteren myself, but either way, I like to preserve the traditions of the game, meaning: NO SPOILERS. I hate when people blindly say to do things, especially after the fact of being told that spoilers are not allowed.

I don't know that this itself has any validity behind it, but this character was told the day before that spoilers are not allowed. There are witnesses to attest to this, but I will not name names. :/


Letholdus: Muun!
MuunLeit: yes
Letholdus: u get it?
MuunLeit: not the second one
MuunLeit: (pm)
Letholdus: i did already
Letholdus: muun i practicall gave u the answer lol
Curiose: :/ Telling people the answer to things will get them, and yourself nowhere.
Letholdus: i said practically doesnt mean it eas cur
Curiose: Doesn't matter.
Curiose: Practically, is pretty much giving the answer.

Letholdus: no. its not
Curiose: As I see it, practically giving the answer is giving enough of an answer that you've given it away.
MuunLeit: Curiose, I had got what he said before he said, but I'm stuck after that :-(
Letholdus: well have you tried his quest yet i pmed him not the answer and the biggest part is riddling this step out. which is not done yet so don't worry k? do u want me sticking my nose in your business?

Curiose: My business is everyone's business once it is posted into the chat.
Curiose: Hello, Apophys.
Curiose: I have a strict No spoiler rule, and that is something that all players should have. :/
Letholdus: like your answer tho ill give you that

Letholdus: Not me!
Curiose: You do know you can get in trouble for spoilers, yes?

Letholdus: well u can have that rule but dont put it on those who dont want it. yes but on public chat lol.
Letholdus: i didnt put on pub chat
Curiose: It's not just a personal rule. It's an actual rule of the game.
Letholdus: like your answer tho ill give you that
Letholdus: Not me!
Curiose: You do know you can get in trouble for spoilers, yes?
Letholdus: well u can have that rule but dont put it on those who dont want it. yes but on public chat lol.
Letholdus: i didnt put on pub chat
Curiose: It's not just a personal rule. It's an actual rule of the game.
Letholdus: yes well. Abide by it than
Curiose: I do. And you should as well.
apophys: Hello, Curiose. Sorry for lateness...
Curiose: It's alright.
Curiose: Apophys, please help to try and explain why spoilers are not allowed. :/

apophys: I was fiddling with the gazebo and made a portal.
Letholdus: ok i dont have time for this if i want to spoil ill do it through email.
apophys: spoilers, well, spoil.
Letholdus: got it
Curiose: Awww. I was able to do that as well. : D
apophys: spoiling is bad.
Letholdus: ya lol theyre bad alright *giggles*


It's players like this who just don't GET IT. It is one of the very few things that boils my blood and I want something done this. Not just about the player, but in general. It's ridiculous, and it ruins the game play for so many players. If I had the chance, I would do something myself about it, but I don't have the ability to. :/


Edit: I accidentally posted a bit of the logs twice. Took it out so as to make it easier to understand.

What exatly do you propose? People already regulate it enough. I see no way of regulating it more than the current.

A Certain alliance feels its alright to pass around the BPG Answer, but what can you do?

[Curiose]

I don't know. I am just frustrated.

Threats of banning, as posted on "Things that will get you banned" in the restrictions tab, don't even seem to be enough of a threat.

I think the players just take spoilers very lightly and don't understand the seriousness of the nature. Mur created this game to be intellectually challenging, not something that people should run around telling all the secrets of.
The person became insulting after I told him that I posted this on the forum. I wasn't going to be sneaky and post it behind his back, when he'd probably find it on his own. That's just... playing the benefits for yourself, really.

But I suppose it'd take a veteran or someone of higher stature to knock some sense into that player.

this may make me look bad but here what i got to say: stay out of other peoples buisness it will get you no where. just like chewett said there is an aliance that passes bpg answer and thid compared to that is small so i say just drop it.

Oh, no i wouldnt agree with that!

You need to confront these people, talk to them and tell them that its bannable. It Might not be bannable, but if you make enough fuss it can be punishable.

if they are breaking the rules, tell them, complain and make yourself a real pain in the ass. If you keep doing it something with likely happen. Keep up the good job Curi, Spoilers are for idiots.

[Curiose]

Thank you.

They are for idiots. Who wants a ruined game play just because someone decided to give out all the secrets because they think that it should be done? It shouldn't be done.

They were talking in the chat about it when I showed up. If they kept it via PM, then I'd not have known/nor would I have bothered with it because there would have been nothing backing up what I was saying. Since they obviously brought it into chat, and Letholdus obviously stated he was going to continue spoiling, I think that it was necessary to bring it to the attention of the other players.
