Thanks for the reminder. My strong suspicion is that ‘weather’ is more accurate. I think the map on the website only updates every fixed amount of time, not on-demand like GPS does. I imagine ‘weather’ is just printing an existing variable. Hard to say for sure, though.

I don’t have the CXP to go testing that theory.

I’m sure most people know about this, but I didn’t see it in the thread: if you type ‘drive slow’ BEFORE entering the mist, you will almost(?) never crash. Played less than many here, but I’ve never had a wreck with even a junker car so long as I ‘drive slow’ if there is any chance of mist-travel.

You can even toggle the command before even getting into the car.

There is also a command that tells you which intersection the Mist is currently centered around. Unfortunately, I can’t find the documentation for it or remember what I typed. I found it on accident. I’d be curious how it compares to the visual map.

Did you really just come in here to tell me how bad I am? Do you think I’m suddenly going to Obama meme and think, “she’s got a point?”

Nope. But if everyone seems to think you’re a problem, including people that don’t even like each other, then one of two things are true:

1. They are correct, and you should get yourself together.
2. They are wrong, in which case you should probably find a place not filled with people that hate you.

Which is why I suggested taking a break from internet rants, so you can decide which it is.

The alternatives:

1. They are correct, but you refuse to get yourself together.
2. They are wrong, but you keep spending your time with people that hate you.

Both lead to you and everyone else just being miserable and not having fun.

I don’t really care which option you think is true. Just hoping you take a moment to ask yourself what you’re getting out of this. You aren’t having fun. We aren’t having fun. You aren’t going to make people stop hating you by insulting them, especially when the insults are your self-admitted guesses that you don’t actually know whether they’re true or not. So what are you trying to accomplish? What’s the goal? Is the goal a realistic one? Is there a better goal, or a better way to achieve it?

My guy, all I suggest is taking a break to clear your head and figure out an approach to actually achieve your goals instead of alienating everyone you’d play with if you decide to stick around.

Do you just want to vent? It seems like this is making you angrier faster than venting, so maybe venting elsewhere might accomplish that goal better.

What is it that you want? And is there a better way to get it than this?

Kaiser, you really have no idea whether you’ve played with me or not. I make an effort to keep my Account name and PC name separate because of people like you who use it as a weapon. So insisting I’m making stuff up when you don’t even know who I am is absurd. I was part of several scenes with you, whether you know who I was or not.

Have other people behaved toxicly in this thread? Absolutely. But this thread is about you. You made it about you. And other people behaving badly does not justify you behaving even worse. Especially not when you baited them into it with easily-verifiable lies and unsubstantiated vitriol.

I quit these forums for years because I found Crayon just that impossible to deal with, but you are behaving so poorly that I dragged myself back into the darkness just to defend them and say that, for once, we agree: Crayon is right about you. You are the problem here.

I think if you just took a few days away from crashing out on a public forum, you might be able to see that and be better. Obviously, this isn’t fun for you. Maybe consider less about who is right and who is wrong and consider instead what course of action will lead to you and those around you having more fun.

I’m not really sure why it’s being insisted that OOC collusion must be the reason here. It’s entirely possible (and indeed true!) that many people who roleplayed with him could (and have) come to the conclusion that he’s a bad actor entirely due to his own actions. It’s also entirely possible (and indeed true) that people ICly talked about how much the character was a problem.

And even if we entirely ignore everything that happened in-game, OP continues to prove they are a bad actor in this thread the more they insult other players and say things like “get professional help.”

Like, this is a pit he dug himself into entirely of his own volition. Some secret OOC conspiracy isn’t really required.

A healthy community also doesn’t have people crashing out on the forums and name-dropping and openly name-calling. A healthy community would have had this thread locked and several people suspended or banned pages ago.

And people don’t need Crayon to tell them when someone is a bad actor. I interacted with OP all of twice and OP made it perfectly clear both times without anyone else having to step in and do it for him.
