So, yesterday reporting some questionable chat in general, I got hit by a GM who's RP macros were insane!!

So much text, so little content. >_<

So, see for yourself, I took screenshots...

Am I overreacting, or was this over the top?

::You feel the earth tremor gently beneath the hooves of your trusted steed. As the vibration grows stronger, morsels of gravel begin to dance amiably across the parched, splintered tundra of Hellfire Peninsula. Fearing the presence of a wayward Fel Reaver, you shift your attention to the left, then the right, fiercely searching for the likely source of this sudden quake.

The clouds then part, revealing a vicious display of lightning in the heavens above, and the earth starts to shake harder. Bolt after bolt of electricity stab at your feet, sending your mount fleeing in terror and an array of dust to billow from the nearby terrain.

Shielding your eyes from the debris, you fail see the hooded and robed individual now standing in front of you. As you gently uncurl yourself from the fetal position, you feel a soft tap on your knees and hear a small voice say...::



Greetings, Adventurer! My name is Game Master Syndri! My apologies for that dazzling show of wind and fury; I'm afraid I got a bit carried away. How may I help you? :)

Q u o t e:
^^Get a real job and stop screwing around. Yeah, I get tired of that RP garbage wall too. They can pull that "I'm a gnome descending from the sky" crap on their own time.

1) It's not professional. (You dont call tech support and get an earful of that.)
2) It's just plain annoying if youre having a conversation with someone and get bombarded by stupid macros. Almost as bad as a gold spam.


Sarcasm is apparently a lost art. My apologies.

Q u o t e:
could I convince a GM to please lock this thread?


That depends primarily on what baked goods you can offer. ;)
