When one dies

I have noticed that on EFU most people are extreamly good at taking the death and going on to another guy without a problem. But just this week I was involved in....we'll call it an attack on an entire place to keep from bringing and form of blackening to this persons name. Alright so this person attacked aentire faction A which then brought entire faction B into the mix....the person ran about attacking members of faction A as their guys attacked the person. The person then ran off for a small bit and came back to an entire populous of pissed off people wanting to kill him. We then proceeded to fight for a long time as the person did a very good job of running and potion quaffing and such unjtil finally he was subdued and one person was in full death mode. Now after person died I got spammed with tells saying that s/he was greifed and such even though the person was fully involved in pvping an entire city basicly in which case it would be easy to figure out that s/he was the enemy and all the factions of said city would attack him. But I try to use logic on the person...s/he would have none of it. So for the next half hour I am getting inflaming tells saying that me killing the person was OOC. Now I do not like killing people randomly...and when I don't have to I dont but if I kill you it is IC not ooc and I do not expect to be insulted like this for fighting this person who assaulted my town with my fellow citizens. After I had used better logic the person decided it was time to insult another person because s/he was obviously not winning with me. This also went on for about an hour as the person was so angry about this incident I then decided to take it upon myself to tell this person that if s/he did not have anything nice to say that the person should not say anything at all and the person finally logged.

Now I'm aware that these incidents don't often happen but I am not going to take being insulted for things I do IC, OOC....anyone with me?

If you were a single person being chased torn apart by ten players, some of whom were in no way related to the original incident, you'd feel griefed to.

That being said, I think it was just anger of the moment and you shouldn't think too much about it. If you feel ICly justified, and a DM can say you were justified for doing what you did, the person really has little grounds to complain.

If you've a problem with a player and how they behaved, it is better to be discussed with the DM staff in private, to avoid posts which could turn into flame wars.

Halfbrood If you've a problem with a player and how they behaved, it is better to be discussed with the DM staff in private...
E-mailing at escapefromunderdark@gmail.com is usually the best way to go about this. It's also a good idea to document the event with logs and/or screenshots.

And that's probably all that should be said on this matter.

Yup.

Find DM in game if getting tells you don't like, or if things like this happen again.
