but you are not a builder or admin on the game, so if you are going to sit back and criticize the game admins, then you might as well ring your hands and play the game as is. sure, opinions are nice and all, but come on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Justin Jones To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2017 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon knock spell
You know, you really oughtn't to make assumptions as to what I have, or have not, done. Based on that last post, you are operating under the assumption that I have not made any attempt at communicating Alter Aeon's issues to Dentin. Guess what, I have, on numerous occasions. Do you know what happened? Do you know what I was told? To put it politely, I was told where to get off, and in most instances, in very direct language. That was if they were feeling polite, in many other instances, I was called a troll and much worse. So I think you need to get off your high horse and stop making assumptions. As for my years of experience as a gamer, it is what makes me right. I have seen multiple game systems and see what works (and sometimes, what does not). There is a reason things are done a certain way and not simply because it has always been done in that manner. As an aside, I had a look at the latest edition of the Dungeons and Dragons rules and at the Knock spell. Guess what? it works as it has ever done.
