...Paved with Good Intentions
Today, I decided that I was not going to let this job get me down. I'm going to be nice.Even if it kills me.
So, I log in.
63 GM calls pending across 5 servers.
Yay! 63 new friends to meet. And I get to visit 5 servers.
Looking on the bright side is starting to get difficult, but I cue up the first call description.
GM Call Description: A casino ripped me off.
Bright side... bright side...
Uhh... maybe I can bust a crooked casino. Yeah, that sounds... plausible.
So, I head over to Fairy server and send the player a tell.
[GM]Dave>> Hail, Adventurer! Pleasant days.
Player>> Hail, Game Master. How does the day find you?
[GM]Dave>> Uhh... good.
[GM]Dave>> How about we cut the roleplay?
Player>> Oh, cool.
[GM]Dave>> So, what's up?
Player>> This guy stole all of my gil.
[GM]Dave>> Damn.
[GM]Dave>> How'd he steal your gil?
Player>> I traded it to him.
See, this is where the casino thing breaks down for me. Trade all of your gil to a complete stranger for the chance of winning.
A complete stranger with absolute anonymity provided by an online game.
Yeah... there's a good plan.
But, alas, I am looking on the bright side today. It's getting dimmer, but I'm looking.
I'm looking hard.
[GM]Dave>> O... kay. You traded him all of your gil.
Player>> Yeah. And then he just logged out.
Shocker.
But I'm being helpful today, so I must think of something nice and respectful to say.
[GM]Dave>> Shocker.
DAMMIT. ><
Player>> What?!
[GM]Dave>> I mean... it's shocking how some people can behave.
[GM]Dave>> What was this player's name?
Player>> Takurgilz
[GM]Dave>> ...
[GM]Dave>> Seriously?
Player>> Yeah. Why?
[GM]Dave>> Tell you what: I'm going to help you out.
Player>> You'll get my gil back?
[GM]Dave>> No. But you do get a shiny new ban.
Player>> Banned?! Why?
[GM]Dave>> Well, you'll never get ripped off again.
[GM]Dave>> Anything else I can help you with today?
All in all, I think it was a positive end for both of us.
I get through a call with shooting myself and there's one less idiot on our servers.
It's starting to get easier to look on the bright side.
