what i don't understand is what is so OOC about it?
Everything. If you don't get it now, it's unlikely you ever will.
the player who plays michael acts like some dudes got a fight and now use the game to get back on each other.
That would be the player of the Ji'bari family (the judge in OG at the time), yes. Because that's fact. Everything she did was highly Out Of Character. She frequently targeted my characters not because any of them or the family did anything towards any of her characters, but rather due to OOC hatreds because I kick-banned her from an IRC chat and stripped her of her Op status when she abused it. Yeah, that's the crux of the matter right there for her.
She wasn't getting what she wanted, so she had the duchy join Sint and deleted her account.
From other reports it looks like a clear IC conflict, that perhaps could have let some players to start whining or such OOCly.
"Other reports"? Pray tell me what these "other reports" are. Thanks.
You often see people identifying them selves with there family and characters waaaay to often, as if losing a position or failing a plan means somehow losing the game making it no longer fun to play but more a motivation to sporadicaly destroy keyboards
I am not syaing we can complety NOT indentify our selves with the game, that inevitable, but atleast we should try to play decent characters instead of extensions of your self that could make up for failures IRL or such.
I agree. And I'm pretty sure Michael would as well. There are plenty of people I dislike on an OOC level, or IC level, but I never take out on other family members. Take Velax's Kindaran character. My noble there wants to see him drawn and quartered for being such a douche and suspected spy for his kin to the north. Yet his Perdan character? I believe he's a member of the Church and I have absolutely no problem with him. Wish he'd put in a little more effort though. >.>
Let me try to put it this way:
The Lionhearts, along with the old Judge of OG, know me from another game. That game is rife with backstabing and OOC power plays (such as people getting to know each other for YEARS through IRC, phone calls, even RL visits and acting as a friend just to be able to betray them later on for cash or assets). I've explained why the judge hates me already. Petty grudge that she's allowed to fester over the years.
Lionheart though? I refused him a promotion before in that game. That's really what started it. Why did I refuse the promotion? Because I know him. He tends to cause whatever chaos he can when he doesn't get his way. Can be useful if you're on the same side as him, mind you, but not if you're the one saying no. I've tried to mend the fence between us for quite some time and thought I was successful. According to Turner that was not and never was the case. Shame, but whatever.
Essentially, Lionheart and the judge wanted anything to deal with me as a player ousted from OG, going so far as to try to twist OOC conversations between himself and Turner into IC statements.
Doesn't matter anymore, I suppose. The situation is being corrected ICly. The Lionhearts will soon be persona non grata on Beluaterra and Turner has gained himself a learning experience.
