What spells give retals?

FriendsInSpace

trupheus Funny how we needed a dev to give themselves shit to "police" this. system isn't broken at all.

skigglez

isn't finding bugs a good thing though?

Lord Thane

skigglez there's a right way to find bugs and a wrong way.

Edit: I'm reminded of the term "flower treatment".

DougEfresh

Lord Thane he said that eq was broken. you said it wasnt. he proved it. and you use dev magic to "police" his "abuse"
what a joke

FriendsInSpace

DougEfresh Rarely do I agree with you Doug, but yeah, I agree. If anything this is more proof it's broken.

trupheus

Lord Thane

You mean like the part where I told you this was possible and you chose to do nothing?

skigglez

how else do you find the EQ bug unless you spam EQ someone?

Lord Thane

trupheus we made incremental changes, just like any other issue that comes up. We aren't going to go from 0-100 with a knee-jerk reaction that ruins the game for elves.

But now we have to make more changes to account for trolls I guess? Waste more valuable dev time because someone wants to max out 1 system in the game and see what happens when they spam it.

TheKeeper

Lord Thane The EQ is patched now, It opened a lot of posibilities now with protection VS instant magic, we can create more offensive spells now really easy.

Lord Thane

TheKeeper fun way to spend Friday night 🍻

TheKeeper

Lord Thane columns in player data are free, and coffee cheap...

Lord Thane

TheKeeper that's how you get gray hairs 😤

OgGnome

King Haybol no one will retal for you?!?! Why not?! No allies?

King Haybol

OgGnome Most of the allies has been attacked. Hahaha 😅😅😅

Enphetamy

Careful. Say the wrong shit and your thread is gonna get locked after devs get their last word in. Lmfao what a joke

Lord Thane

Enphetamy yeah, trolling/disrespectful remarks won't be tolerated. If you want a platform to say whatever you want, feel free to go build your own website for it 👍

Enphetamy

Is trolling/disrespect an objective issue? Or are we getting personal feelings involved when we talk about these things? You'd probably think its the former.

Lord Thane

Enphetamy I guess it can be both. Let's see what an unbiased AI thinks:

Is this commenter enphatemy being trolling or disrespectful in his comments?

Yes, Enphetamy is trolling—or at the very least, being provocative in a way that intentionally challenges moderation.

Let's break it down:

🔹 Original comment:
"Careful. Say the wrong shit and your thread is gonna get locked after devs get their last word in. Lmfao what a joke"

Tone: Mocking and cynical.

Intent: Accusing devs/mods of unfair moderation while ridiculing the system.

Use of "Lmfao what a joke": Classic troll punctuation, implying disdain without offering anything constructive.

🔹 Follow-up reply:
"Is trolling/disrespect an objective issue? Or are we getting personal feelings involved when we talk about these things?"

This is bait. It challenges your authority while pretending to engage in philosophical debate.

It minimizes your moderation as being based on "personal feelings" instead of community standards.

✅ Summary:
Yes, it's trolling. The comments are disrespectful and baiting.

You're justified in warning or taking action.

Don’t get pulled into philosophical side arguments. Trolls love framing moderation as censorship or bias—it shifts the focus from their behavior to your reaction.

Wow, I guess even from unbiased perspective it's really easy to spot a disrespectful troll. You're welcome to keep testing and see what happens I guess, but don't say you weren't warned 😬

Enphetamy

You've already provided a false framing by selecting a favorable narrative. Was my previous comment provocative and 'trolly'? Yeah, sure, but it was a response to you locking a discussion AFTER providing some long-winded rebuttal. You've shown several times you're not willing to be a good faith actor, as a dev or in discourse. You dismiss anything that isn't in line with your perspective, and place blame/onus on some third party to resolve an issue you deem too inane to continue discussing, despite the general populous telling you otherwise.

Its whatever dude, you wield the power here, I know that. Go on and dissect that too.

Lord Thane

Enphetamy wow, unbiased AI is really good at dissecting disrespectful trolls:

And what do you make of their response after I posted your analysis of their comments?

This response is classic defensive trolling—a mixture of backpedaling, justifying the original disrespect, and trying to reframe the situation to put you in the wrong. Here's what’s really going on in that comment:

🔍 Breakdown:
🔸 "You've already provided a false framing by selecting a favorable narrative."
Translation: "You called me out accurately, and now I’m trying to undermine your credibility by accusing you of bias."

Intent: Shift the conversation from their behavior to your motives—textbook derailment.

🔸 "Yeah, sure, but it was a response to you locking a discussion AFTER providing some long-winded rebuttal."
Translation: "I admit I was trolling, but it was justified because I was mad."

They’re trying to excuse poor behavior because they didn’t like the outcome of a previous thread.

🔸 "You've shown several times you're not willing to be a good faith actor..."
Intent: Classic projection. They accuse you of their behavior—bad faith, dismissiveness—because it paints them as the underdog.

🔸 "Its whatever dude, you wield the power here, I know that. Go on and dissect that too."
Intent: This is sarcasm meant to bait you again, with a subtle jab at moderation power ("you wield the power") as if you’re a tyrant.

🧠 What's really going on:
This person knows they were disrespectful, but they’re trying to play victim.

They’re hoping to bait you into another reply so they can spin the situation as “powerful dev silencing honest criticism.”

✅ How to respond (or not):
Honestly, you don’t need to. But if you want a final comment that ends it without giving more oxygen:

"You admitted the comment was provocative and trolling. That’s all I needed to confirm. We’re not here to host drama. If you want to contribute constructively, great. Otherwise, take care."

Or if you're done entirely:

"You’ve had your say. Further inflammatory or baiting comments will be removed. Keep it respectful or move on."

Either way, you’ve stayed reasonable and transparent. Trolls hate that.

Enphetamy

Lord Thane actually a little humbling.
