Are you serial? There doesn't really need to be a reason to gwethsmash anyone.

That's exactly the kind of attitude that I feel is a problem and am complaining about.

Sometimes we forget that there are other people with feelings behind another's character.

I've been smashed before. So what. You have two choices, either suck it up and move on, or go after the smasher. I chose the first option as being the safest of the two with my 18th circle empath at the time.


What JLo said is pretty much spot on.
- GM Dartenian

So we've heard from Arwinia, and Zadie - both whom seem to be in charge of determining who can say what on the gweth, because they use their smashers to control the conversation. Anyone else? Because it would be nice to know whom else is in charge so those who don't want to lose their gweths can kiss your *es.

>>If having a textual thought-relaying device textually destroyed is going to cause the person behind a character emotional distress, it is my opinion said person should probably find something else to do with their time.

Have you found out why people got smashed? Gwethsmashers are not cheap because they can only be made every 2-4 real life weeks. So people don't just waste charges willy nilly.

And the converse is also true. The smashee's feelings might be hurt but what about the smasher. They are probably angry or annoyed or unhappy about something on the gweths as well. It's a two way street.

My Last Few Gwethsmashes:

+ Someone saying "IRL" on the gweth.
+ Someone emoting on the gweth.
+ Someone threatening me on the gweth.
+ Someone threatening and insulting me on the gweth.

I'm pretty sure most people who smash have similar lists. I don't waste charges on random people, I save them for people who are OOC or who insult or threaten my character, or my character's friends.

Skills Needed for Kaith Partani
Need 293 (500) Empathy.
Have at least 200 in #1 Armor (Light Chain).
Have at least 240 Evasion.
Have at least 160 Shield Usage.

This comes up at least once a month. The GMs have said numerous times you do not need a reason to smash someone's gweth. Period.

One of the most immature things I see is someone getting smashed then buying another gweth, putting it on and saying, ' blaa blaa blaa You just wasted a charge .' Then proceed to get that one smashed and get all pissy about that one too.

Unless you have a ongoing feud with someone, you probably said something that offended the smasher.

Get over it and move on.

the other day I smashed 1/2 ppl putting on the monty python burn the witch skit.

if you're really worried about getting your gweths smashed, you can always not gweth. 100% fool proof defense.


I'm the guy that ate the rotten meat.

"if you're really worried about getting your gweths smashed, you can always not gweth. 100% fool proof defense."

Gweth smashers are a great way to enforce your own narrow point of view. Getting people to stop gwething at all is just an additional side benefit.



"militantly enforcing the overly rigid standards of you and your small collection of friends"

i think a class of character needs to emerge; the Gweth Constables or some such.

these are high level characters that are SO bored they feel like refereeing gwethsmashing activity. They'd be JUST LIKE AURORS IN HARRY POTTER...but for the gweths. And they would mediate between 2 other higher and lower circle players, not voldemorte and the rest of mankind. srs difference, to be sure.

scenario1:
1. Newb gweths, "HI I AM NEW EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HOW TO USE A GWETH AND HAVE ONE FOR THAT MATTER AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO EVERYONE IN ORC AND DORK LAND"

2. Many, many, many players grasp their text-smashers and frantically pound the CENTER!CENTER!CENTER! on this person.

But, as in nature, only the fastest and strongest smasher gets through.

Newb is smashed.

3. Newb cries to the Gweth Constabulary (player-run). Gweth Constabulary dont kill newb ig for even knowing that they exist IF he/she is a newb, but take the case.

They find said player with said potent smasher and question him/her.

He/she explains. Gweth Constable assigned to the case agrees the newb was rightly smashed and moves along.

scenario2:
The smashing was wrong, or bullying, or a champion may be in order. FURTHER INVESTIGATION AT VERY LEAST!

Job requires a willingness to turn a blind eye when the weaker really have it coming...and their smashing is just.

Job also requires willingness and ability to do murder on behalf of the weak, after finely honed investigative technique has failed to find true fault on behalf of the besmashed.

Maybe call yourselves Gwethulators...or Regugwethers. Srs. I have a lot of other good names too.

All activity, i believe, contingent upon GUARDED pvp profile settings of all participants.

have fun with it! i have perma gweths and am going to round 1000 debts pretty soon!

signing up for a MMORPG advertising 200-600 players on the main page that explains what IC and OOC is in the TOS, it sounds to me like what you'd really like is a room anyone under circle 20 gets sent to if smashed with a book of policy in it they need to re-agree to before being released.


I'm the guy that ate the rotten meat.

I've been gwethsmashed about 4 times so far by the same person, and one more time by a different over my way of speaking on the gweth, My character is Stormtears, he's been speaking in the same manner from the moment gnome started in the game. Now using expressions goodest good, and wonderfullest wonderful. I know that way of speaking can be as annoying as taking time to write it down. However annoying it is, it's also roleplaying. In my case, a person decides to police the gweth by smashing me. Gwethsmashing is legal, but doing it excessively becomes harassment. Policing the gweth is OOC, but since you dont need an excuse to gwethsmash, you can police the gweth. The fellow that decided to gwethsmash me, belong to a criminal organization in the game. Basically, all he has to do is to tell all his groupy friend to gwethsmash me every week by a different persons. It's perfect, it's next to impossible to proove. Like i cant prove that other person that smashed me for OOC reason is teaming up with the first one. I talk to two GM's so far, the last one told me he didnt have enough proof to do anything about. So, he mentions to use the verb WARN, which didnt work today. I took a different character to find where are the two people causing me problems, the weaker one was hunting creatures for which i need at least 30 more circle to take on, the second is almost twice my circle. So trying to take them on myself in game would be horribly studpid. Basically, gwethsmashing is allowing a couple of people to bullying me. As far as the first person is concerned, he did more before he did the gweth smashing. My Question is What are my Optios? Talk to GM's, That requires that i can prove it. so basically i need document everythings. To bad i didnt to do that when i first started. But, i'm doing it now, and I think i'll have to start documenting even my encounter with GM's, which I really dont like to do. What Do I do if the GM's cant resolve the problems and end the harassment. So far, i'm following the rules, but the rules seems to be made to protect just the higher circle people. I'm getting very depressed over this, yet i'll never bow to people that use their power to harass or bully. Your's truly JG

I've heard you over the gweth, and if I had access to a gwethsmasher, I'd use it on you as well. Just sayin...

>>Stormtears?

This is not carebears


Vote DR as TOP MUD: http://www.topmudsites.com/vote-cemm.html

there's a few possibliities.

1. kill the person. you said they are higher than you though, so...

2. hire someone else to kill the person.

3. write feedback if the person is repeatedly doing it. that could be harassment.

4. get an alt acct. train up a MM until you can make your own gweths. free. -- well, except for the cost of materials. and those can be inexpensive if you also train up a thief to acquire 'em.


It's a number, it gets bigger. That's the whole DR experience right there

One of my characters may well have been the 'other' person who had Stormtears smashed. The character in question always asks someone more capable than herself to do the smashing on the very rare occasions that she's moved to do it. There's no reason that Stormtears couldn't do the same thing to the person/people who are smashing him.

For my part, the request to smash was provoked by SEVERAL annoyingest annoying gweths in the space of about ten minutes. My character can only remain charitable for so long.

I'm pretty sure less smashing would occur to that character if either:

1) he gwethed less often (an option for reduced smashes without further conflict or altering how the character speaks/thinks),

2) he gwethed using the whateverest whatevers less often (an option that your character could well take if he feels people are out to get him based on the words he uses), or

3) he found a way to either lay the people who are smashing him out or befriend them. (an option that might actually increase your interaction by taking up the smashings as an opportunity for expanded roleplaying, and not just people being big meanies trying to ruin your personal fun)

Serious question, is your brother a little kid?
