 		Lupeus II transcribed
Unto man breathed the Wolf life, but so short lived became his
work. The first, born of pure evil, performed a rite of blood into the
Earth, but the second, born of hatred, will seek out genocide, and he
himself will be destroyed by his own doing. Many will follow in his
footsteps, but never exactly as hateful as he.

The stars shifted their places,
and planets in outer spaces
The blood he spilled for the heavens and Earth
was the greater of disgraces

The third shall be born of Dark Method, his rite of darkness shall
be a reign of terror to many. The Instructor shall read his thoughts,
the director shall compose them, but sweet music it shall never be.

Was there really a need to post this kind of petty sniping in the game thread? No, there wasn't. If you really felt the need to say something to this person then why not just send them a private message? Because all you have done with your inflammatory post is try to make yourself look superior while belittling another player. Yes, that's right.....another player. This is a game after all. Why do you feel the need to be so condescending and adolescent to someone over a game?!? I thought the objective of these things was to have some fun & figure stuff out, not try and play one-upsmanship.

You say at the end of your post that you're "sorry for making this public" but I have to think that's just lip service. If you had actually been sorry then instead of adding an apology to the tail of your public post you would have just sent it as a private message instead.


LeHommeSuspendu, if that is your first or only Unfiction ID, yes it was necessary. Private Messages have been tried to no avail (they didn't work) with her. For some reason she wants to be argumentative about everything, and by she I do not mean Mountain Girl, and for some reason she does not want to play as a team member but more important than that she continues to take other peoples ideas and claim them as her own. I know this is just a game but Plagiarism is a very serious thing, for example in college it could result in expulsion from the university.

I agree with you on this following:
Quote:
I thought the objective of these things was to have some fun & figure stuff out, not try and play one-upsmanship.
However, there are two players here, I want mention any names everyone knows who they are, who are doing exactly that playing one-upsmanship and it is ruining the game for everyone.

Also, I hope that you, yourself, are aware of the fact that the rules at unfiction say we are only permitted one user name. I want go in to detail, but another player let me know that you also have another user name here at unfiction and if so your signing in as LeHommeSuspendu is in violation of the rules.

Just in case you do not know, here is a link to the rules:

Actually, there is no way you could be aware unless you were the one doing it or were apart of what has been going on. The player you are defending has been out right rude more than once and to more than one player.

 		Mountain Girl, you say he said he "just heard someone yell from XIII."
He also said this to me at around the same time, though our conversation did not go as far as yours.
Why did he say "I'm sorry, but I must go, there are more devastating thing to deal with right now," and quit talking to me because of so-called more important things, while he continued to talk to you?

 		I have no clue. He also continued talking to Tipsila. Perhaps the PM's were looking for certain keywords like "silver" or "iron." I don't know. I'm just guessing. Join us in chat #gatewood! We'll try and figure it out. Very Happy

I will 'out' myself on this... I was sent ONE PM along with an IM by MountainGirl while I was OUT OF TOWN . I tried to address it when I returned PRIVATELY and was met with negativity. It was MountainGirl who decided to try and argue with me, yet when I tried to debate intelligently, they responded with gibberish.

This is what started it.

Mountain Girl's post:



Quote:
I think I found her:


Her name is Nancy, nickname "Rouge Moon." She only has 18 friends and became a member Nov. 21.

*EDIT*
Definitely her. Here's an excerpt from her blog:
Quote:
Anyways, Claire walked after her, and all the sudden I notice some guy run out of the bushes, TOTALLY KNOCK OVER my trash can, spilling everything and running down the street.

I yelled out, "HEY, FUCKER! What the fuck is your deal?!" He then jumped into a raggedy looking Ford Taurus and peeled out.

The jackass left behind some business card thingie with numbers on it, although its not a phone nuber or anything that I can figure out. Whatever.
Fucking weirdos...



There's more. She also talks about pharmaceuticals. Wonder who her doctor is?


I posted immediately after:

Quote:
I emailed her, and got a response...

I simply said, "Nancy, we need to talk"

Quote:
Please don't tell me you're the one going through my trash. I assure you there is nothing in there but... you guessed it. Trash.




The PM here at uF that I recieved - and IM via my yahoo account while I was OUT OF TOWN was

Quote:
Greetings chick!
[21:32] *** Auto-response sent to MountainGirlXD: Time for that much needed beauty rest! Sweet dreams all Smile

[21:33] AngryBanana1125: hey!
[21:33] MountainGirlXD: I've been chatting with Nancy for about 30 minutes. Let's hold off on posting until we get some meaty information Smile that way we don't muddle up the thread with usefull stuff. I'm trying to get us over to "potential," so it will make it easier to go through if we only post the most necessary stuff.


(at this point my post was the latest....)

I guess I'm in the wrong here *rolling my eyes*, as are any others that dare mess with MountainGirl and Sylvia....

Speaking of, I know that I try and always try to document where I find my information as does tipsila so since neither one of us are trying to publish or submit anything, please explain your Plagiarism accusation, Also look up the definition before you run your mouth. I believe you should understand and pay more attention before you make such a claim.

This is the definition, and please tell me how someone has violated that:

Quote:
Using ideas, plots, text and other intellectual property developed by someone else while claiming it is your original work.

Literary theft. Plagiarism occurs when a writer duplicates another writer's language or ideas and then calls the work his or her own. Copyright laws protect writers' words as their legal property. To avoid the charge of plagiarism, writers take care to credit those from whom they borrow and quote.


intellectual property
n.

A product of the intellect that has commercial value, including copyrighted property such as literary or artistic works, and ideational property, such as patents, appellations of origin, business methods, and industrial processes.

Business Terms

Intellectual Property

Any concept, idea, literary creation, computer program, or other artistic or creative work that is definable, measurable, and proprietary in nature.


Stop it... please, we just want to play the game.[/b]

 		I am working backwards to try to figure out what's going on here between the feuding parties, but as far as I can tell, whatever happened is a matter between individuals and does not warrant making the other players uncomfortable (which, as you can see from the preceding post, is exactly what's happening here). I see nothing to indicate that the Terms of Service were broken.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be handled via PM so the rest of the players don't have to wade through pages of bickering.

So, involved parties: please continue to post game-related information here without sniping or unnecessary commentary. Personal matters should be handled via PM so the rest of the players can play in peace.

I know return you to your regularly-scheduled ARGing. Sorry for the interruption.

I was thinking of voodoo as Sladius mentions the caribbean in his most recent blog post.

One of the most famous practitioners of voodoo was Marie Laveau.

In Sylvia's IM with Elliot J Hurst, he writes:
Quote:
It's quite alright. This happened long before Gatewood became what it is. The huntsman's mother, the young girl's grandmother, became a symbol in fables, a wolf in sheep's clothing. The young girl was a blue-eyed child, born feet-first on the night of St. John's Eve, giving her second sight. She knew the woods well, and her grandmother had fallen deathly ill after the huntsman had done his evil deed. Why did this all happen you ask? That answer is simple. It was in the stars.


St. John's Eve (or Bonfire Night), is the night before Midsummer Day. St. John's Eve is celebrated in many parts of rural Ireland with the lighting of bonfires. This ancient custom has its roots in pre-Christian Irish society, however, many different cities have their own uniquie traditions associated with the festival. Historically, this date has been venerated in the practice of Voodoo. The famous Voodoo priestess, Marie Laveau, was said to have held ceremonies involving Voodoo ritual on the Bayou St. John in New Orleans, commemorating St. John's Eve. Modern day practioners of Voodoo have kept the tradition alive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John's_Eve

ETA:
"born feet-first"
The girl's name Agrippa is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "born feet first." Name of a first-century Roman emperor, the son of Herod. Possibly a man's used as in female form with the -a ending.

Agrippa has 3 variant forms: Agrafina, Agrippina and Agrippine.


Back to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and De Occulta Philosophia (Of Occult Philosophy) ... ?

And the passages:

GENESIS 23:4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight

Job 21:7
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?




The word "GENESIS" has 23:4 before and after it, but "JOB" has 21:7 after it, and 7:12 before it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Job 7:12
Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep,
that you put me under guard?


Ah. Fraught with confusing stuff.

 		Caine Blog Update
Quote:
20:34 - THE TIME OF WAR IS AT HAND.

For those of you who have decided that the dangers that await you all in the near future are indeed very real, it is time for your first lessons of war.

The sons of Loki are planning on making their first move very soon.

They may try to contact you and attack.

DO NOT underestimate their power.

The following spells which you are about to learn are but 2 of several. THESE ARE TOOLS. Treat them with care and respect. They will protect you.

Guarding Spell - "USHAKK"
------------------------------
This spell will help you to keep guard against them. It would be wise to use it immediatley upon contact. So what happens if you do not use it when you should? You could become in danger, and OTHERS could become in danger of harm and even death. I have used it myself against one of the sons, and he immediatley went away, HOWEVER, some of them are stronger than others. I realize you wish to try to gain knowledge during this fight, so such a spell will protect while you try to draw any information that you can from them. If you cannot,

Banishing Spell - "DOMKI"
----------------------------
This will ensure you're saftey as well as the safety of others hands down.
Using it will keep whatever intends harm against you or someone else instantly.

Be aware that these spells as well as most spells of battle are not permanent, so it WILL NOT keep them at bay forever.

I will teach you more as you gain a better feeling of how to use them.




I didn't see a Caine thread, and didn't want to create another one Smile
