York - Monkeys with Machetes

[Witch Hazel]

Probably not Slayer since the little coward committed suicide thinking the NG were attacking but hadn't even started yet. It was just random spirits here in York attacking on and off. Several were even spirit Yorkie themselves.

Slayer can read, Witch Hazel, he doesn't need your chewed up interpretation of events.


Slayer, were you promised a reward?  I can ensure that you get it. 

[Maj. Arcana]

Hi sonny,

Sorry for bailing out so unexpectedly. Unfortunately, at the time you met The Hierophant, he'd been around for 8-9 months and been haunted by spirits for about 6 months and change. It just got to be too much of a hassle to continue with the character.

Although The Hierophant would probably approve of giving you orders from beyond the grave to grief Witch Hazel until the end of time, his death was sudden and he doesn't come back for chitchats. What I can simply suggest as one who knew him well is that if the militia interests you and you want to stay on, do. The command unit positions are just to draw ideas from, but they're pretty self-explanatory. You don't need an ever-present leader to tell you what to do and who to kill. Use your best judgment. As far as rewards go, you're owed an ornate staff (presented as the York Staff of Honor) and an enlisted man position of your choice, or the Sgt rank of Sheriff of York, the Hierophant's old position.

If anyone would like to take over leadership of the clan (Nursie has executor rights), please PM me and I'll make the request to the devs.

Last bit of advice to the defenders of York - When in doubt, follow the Pledge and make the rest up on the fly.

I was not griefing you Elephant. I killed you once Sept. 7th and again the 17th. Went off and killed others until killing you again Nov 29th. Again, went off killed others, went out of town, came back and killed you Jan. 12th. Stop whining. Live people killed you more then I ever did. It's hard to kill as a spirit. Come on admit it, you wanted to stir stuff up or you wouldn't have tried to claim the whole peninsula like you did. Get over it.

[Maj. Arcana]

I didn't say you griefed the Hierophant, I said that would be a fitting consequence to your actions. Basically you wailed at the character most days of the week except for a short stint off during Christmas, nitpicked all his comments in-game and on the forum looking for stuff you disapproved of because you're a politically correct wog who hasn't figured out that all the values you tried to claim as your character's are anachronistic for a game set in colonial times.

I gave up the role mainly because I realized that it was never going to get any better, that while the militia had promise, we were never going to fight anyone decent, that we'd be constantly getting harassed by players who didn't give a damn whether WE had any fun, who couldn't be bothered to roleplay, or more accurately, found a perverse satisfaction in NOT roleplaying. Players who, in short, drained every bit of enjoyment from playing the game as The Hierophant. Players who will no doubt turn to Chief Joe now and wail at him incessantly because he has many of The Hierophant's qualities, and instead of, oh I don't know, making a goddamn effort to make a space to do something fun for other characters, will continue to scavenge off other, more creative people, without adding anything interesting to the mix themselves.  

[Witch Hazel]

Please. I hadn't sign up for this forum less then a week when I get a message from you telling me I had to be 1 of the 4 following players. You then went to list them giving pros and cons on why or why not I could or could not be them. Rather rude too in your comments. The last line of your message said I was not to become friends with certain players or you would be my enemy. 0.0  Thanks for the great welcome to the forum.

 You see, you started off on the wrong foot with me from the get go. Shouldn't have done that. I tried to ignore it and even tried to rp with you but the more I tried the more rude you rp back, so I stopped rp with you. Heirophant has left the building by his own choice.

*Witch Hazel is last seen floating out the hut door looking to see who's in town to play with*

[Maj. Arcana]

If I was so rude to you in the beginning--something I remember apologizing for later--the obvious conclusion would've been to steer clear. Instead you took it upon yourself to police me on the forum and harass me in-game.

[Raffles]

Raffles,
    unless the heads of state of this island are all gibbering baboons, I should expect a brief period of respect before the vultures descend.  After which I cordially invite you to diplomatic negotiations regarding the leadership of York.  There are good people here. 

Undoubtedly I am addressing one of them. I think York could do better under the care of a healer than a fighter.

[andrewbuff]

sounds like raffles thinks fluff is needed in his home town! hah! and people thought(im guessing they did?) york was disorganized when the major was running things! im sorry for interrupting your fight. ive wanted to say, im gunna miss that ol' hell raiser, despite woody's disinterest in his existence. i for one, enjoyed the role the hierophant filled, he played so well. okay, you may resume your bickering.

(2012-01-08 19:42) Getsome Food says “Nurse House-House; please don't kill Mr Clean. Thanks.”

I thought that was a little bit soft, but I have no interest in persecution, particularly not if intervention by another person has been secured. Obviously Mr. Clean was involved in some really heavy life questions, perhaps he was considering starch and the benefits of handwashing and so on....

so I smirked and left him alone.

 You hear Mr. Clean whisper “I'll tell you why I kill Nurse House-House and it's the same reason I kill you.”
(2012-01-20 15:50) Elvemage gains 10 health from a first aid kit
(2012-01-20 15:49) You hear Mr. Clean whisper “because you are the same...”
(2012-01-20 15:50) Mr. Clean kills Elvemage with a cutlass.

Poor, old Elvemage!

Mr. Clean - if you are big enough to swing your cutlass around and feel justified in the slicing of others for mere association, then you are big enough to fend off a poor, bereaved, weasel faced Nursie all by yourself. 

Bahl - I like your technique, it was enjoyable, personal and brutally intimate, may it be repeated often.  Next time I will bring wine.
(OOC Just as a point of interest Nurse and Elvemage are not the same, we're not alts or anything.  Prizes will be given for guessing my alts correctly) 

[Billfred]

Thank you m'dear.

When I next see Mr. Clean, I shall issue him an order, don't worry.

[Nursie]

 

Rise, little thread, rise and be counted!

In the interests of updating, I made a little notice, trying to be all efficient (hopefully annoying too) which might best be posted here as no one can ever be bothered to leave their stinking huts these days.


Message:

York is now home to the conch. Please wait your turn. Just ask the current holder nicely. Unsanctioned thefts of the conch will result in valid and relentless persecution. We have many bored and unfulfilled perverts in York and if we fail to find them useful occupations they turn on us. Conch theft will be assuredly punished!

York is no longer home to the conch.  Sympathetic Phil stole it and sold it.  I stabbed him up as promised and then felt really bad about it.  If anyone wants revenge, I'm currently sobbing in a corner of the Med Hut.

The med hut has been upgraded to 'York University of Medicine and Spiritism'. Please put your pumpkins down and be ready for the cathartic and knowledge enriching experience of being chilled to the bone, followed by the thrill of DIY medical treatment as you learn by healing yourself or relax whilst lovingly tended by one of our trained nurses.

May as well give it a go, eh?

York Fight Club is to be found just South West of the University. Bare knuckles only. Bring a beer or seventy. Heal 'em when your done. Try chit chat. It's easier to beat someone to a pulp with your bare hands if you've just swapped stories about latent ornithology and stamp collecting.

This was going to be run by Pudge, but the little scally  has run off saying something about he 'needed a smoke because Mr. Clean had poked his bum-bum', or something. 

We are all pleased to welcome back The Bovs, I don't know what they do, but supporting them is compulsory.

There's been some talk of the return of The Sour Apple, let's hope it's true. Contact Honey and mither as fit.

Natives and Pirates are newly welcome, but please do your killing with decent speeches attached. Everyone prefers a show and any lack of effort when it comes to homicidal action will be viewed with great derision. We do not suffer mutes-through-sloth gladly here in York. Sign language is allowed.

If you are feeling unfairly hassled, grow a pair of weather sensitive cylindrical balls of flesh and fight back, this isn't Derby. Sometimes approaching a big bully will require the use of pals. Making friends is fun. See below for advice;

1) Say hello. Don't bother introducing yourself, unless the name tattooed on your head is in foreign.
2) Share food, trinkets, or best of all, alcoholic produce.
3) Swap news, condolences or messages. We like music here in York. Stick a record on. (For over zealous types needlessly concerned with anachronisms, please explain the frequently found GPS device, thank you).
4) Try and broach a difficult topic. Gossip or flagrantly invent narrative for those visiting the shaman or just almost out of earshot. More talk , more action. If it leads to fights - so much the better.
5) If you really can't bring yourself to commit social behaviour please at least be anti-socially fascinating. Scream, dribble, shake, sh*t yourself! We all have the inbuilt ability to be more than a name floating in a hut.

Sometimes I just like lists.

[Billfred]

No Cannibals though!

This is still going on? -__-

This is still going on? -__-

Ohhh coool!  That's such a good face.  I don't think I can do that one.  Umm.. let me see...  how does it go?  =_=  No.  no.  That's not right is it?  Hold on- let me give it another go -  ||_|| ??  WAIT!  {.}_{.} ??  Ohhh poo.  You're amazing.  I bow to your superiority.
