Hey, 'sup.
Name is Goodgame...The Improper...Its a name.
I am a dude...a fighter dude...I like to quest. Its kinda my thing.
I work alone, mostly. Kinda my thing too.
I don't work a lot, obligations and such...so when I do, I like to be effective.
So today, I am farming for cool lewt, Muckbanes, Swords of Pain, bad dudes personal weaponry and gear...
I am alone, but reliable..so hey!
I get invited to this party, and am right in the middle of something...so I kill it and finish out, go to the party.
I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, no rich daddy or momma to buy me that vorpal. All I have on me is the stuff I sweated out with my blood, sweat...no tears...thats for sissies.
So I got some whacked gear...so? I like it. Deal. Or get lost!
I end up in a group with some cool people...Kinda quiet. I like that. Too much chatter can lead to mistakes.
We go to work for this guy named Goodblade...Yeah, should be Whackbalde, but hey...It is work. We do everything he asks us AN still got no decent weapon for my troubles..
No biggie...back to work.
We go back to Lizzards Got a New Ogre, this place is kinda cool. What the heck are bug bears though...I mean, where did they get the BUG from..ok..
Finish up that. Can't believe that every time I clear out someones warehouse, a couple of minutes later it is full of bad again.
So. We get 2 clerics in the party...Bonus! right...Naw man...Dude, these guys are so busy talking about what they can do they don't even look where they are going...Straight into an ambush...again and again and again...
Ya see, they left the rest of us behind. They got these spells to keep themselves up and all us non clerics got is little bottles of liquid. And those run out fast. They aren't sharing...They aren't paying attention...I think I have seen this before.
Me? Dude!...I am trying to scrape hobgoblins off the sorc and the wiz long enough to let them cast a spell...Helpin the rogue get off sneak attacks...You know. Being the team player...stead of the Player.
I watch as one of them....what did he call himself, "Bad Cleric"...walk right up to an ogre and keel over...Sad really...If he had just waited we coulda done it smarter. avoided the Ogre, Take out the easy Hobs... Skip out with the key..Hey. What quest were we in? Shanty Core? Thats what I said! Shanty Core!...Yeah, what you said...
So, I am not so experienced...Been to the trainer like 4 times and he says I need to come back later...He doesn't seem to be all that great...give me a couple of days and I bet I could whip that trainer in a brawl...no problem...
so, What? oh yeah...my point.
I went through a fat stack of potions, mentioned I was working hard but this wasn't working...Some of my Bros needed to do some more training before we went in there...Two cleric/fighters seemed to be trying to prove which one was better...Not my thing...
They started to ask me about my gear..I said it was ok...stuff I found. Good enough for me...I like it. Then they start trying to give me handouts...like I am some kinda charity case and I inform them I am trying to "Keep it real". Guess that made em mad...cause one of em started to get mad..
Heck...It is kind e...e...emask...what is that word...femitizing to be having someone try to tell you your stuff you worked for is no good...and theirs is so much better...
I like my stuff...It smells like me. I fits me...I even sleep in it! Yeah, you need a bath too!
Soews, hey...DOOOD! If you see a guy and his stuff is shoddy but he is happy with it...
Come on Dude, don't get offended when he refuses your stuff. Chances are your stuff is cool and all but some of us like supporting ourselves...
And Keeping it Real.
Aw...man...my point! Shi...iiinnnickerdoodles...
If you can heal but don't want to...please do not say you are a "BAD CLERIC" as most of us will only think you are being modest...The term is (though used improperly) BAAAAATTTTLE CLERIC...or more correctly, NON HEALING CLERIC and remind us to go buy our own dang healin potions as you will be using all your SP on yourself. DOOOD! No problem...Just be clear! o kay? Don't make us try to figure it out...When we are incapped...And you don't even have a heal kit. That remnds me...I ran through about 20 of those on the other cleric and the wiz...gotta go restock...L8R.

I know, some of us DDO players do not understand that roleplaying is a part of the older version, Dungeons & Dragons.
Some of us forget that this is based on a Role Playing game and that some of us old dinosaurs will try to roleplay our characters...to the dismay of others who do not....(know how)..(lol)...
If you find someone who is acting differently, not talking so much when you detail stories of your past characters and
and you are thinking about getting offended...Stop...count to ten....try not to take it personal...Did they call you a name?
Or did they just refuse some special treatment?
You can't play Patroniser and not get shot down. If someone asks for stuff...Politely...sure give if you want...
When they say no thank you (or no...man! I'm good!, or Naw, or you keep it, or gosh that is nice but I really couldn't...I'll be fine...)...please...do not get offended...Perhaps they do not want (1)to be a burden, (2)take stuff you earned not them or (3)feel like they owe you...
If, you plan on being in the group...and soloing, please let people know...
Let them know that they are all on their own and the fact that thay are in a party is coincidence.
If you are going out on your own, and do not care if the rest of the party makes it, you probably should not expect others to risk their lives to pick up your stone time and time again and after repeated, self induced deaths.
If you have had it with the party and do not wish to continue, do not expect us to kill ourselves trying to get your stone in the mess you left it in so you can rez and finish out.
Remember that bragging impresses no one. Silence is golden. The silent, solid performer is preferred to the noisy anything.
**note**Goodgame died twice, both times he was carrying one of the cleric's soul stones, to the shrine. We entered STK on hard with 2 level 4s, 2 3s and 2 2s. Cross class lvl 2 rogue while willing and trying could not do the traps...I do want to apologize for my behavior. I sent some things at the end I meant to sell in personal tells...in party chat...my bad.
I will use my good judgement in the future, to avoid headaches caused by not listening to my inner voice.
Hey Kyber...I didn't take it personally! You're good! We're good...Back to hunting muckbane for me...lol!
