Overreaction?

Hi. I think you may be overreacting. Compared to some of the profanity I've seen elsewhere in this game, the examples you give are pretty lame.

Also, you need to distinguish between whether a comment is said "in game" (also called "in character") or "out of game" ("out of character", abbreviated as OOC). I say this as a newbie to Urban Dead but as a seasoned RPGer.

If the insults are "in game" (and they arguably are) then it is their character insulting your character, not the player insulting you. And that might just be good roleplaying on their part. They are, after all, playing a Survivor's reaction to a Zombie Spy, which would be understandably hostile.

If you're not sure which it is, give them the benefit of the doubt and don't take it personally. If they start issuing a lot of abuse, and I mean pages of it, tell them to tone it down a bit, and if that does not work, then complain.

But whatever happens, don't let stuff like this stop you from enjoying the game! --Richardhg 01:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I congratulate all these people on doing their part in roleplay.--Warlord zephyr 20:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
