When your strip mining a cave and can nearly set a watch to their recall. Gave a report with 20 second time blocks when they would show. GM showed little early to talk to me and like magic the scripter showed up as predicted. Without a word the GM snatched them up by the shorthairs and both vannished. Junk gear recalling 5 spaces and no firebeetle is a no brainer.how do you know they are cheating?!?!?!?!?..... you wouldnt unless you have done it before
You have to open a page under "another player is harassing me" and then type your complaint in. After that it will ask you if you wish to target the player or type the players name in. Since there could be multiple characters with the name "Bob" targeting the player is your best bet. When you select that option a targeting cursor automatically comes up.- - Or maybe Spyderis doesn't know HOW to target a character?
I can remember not knowing how,
then finally learned how,
but haven't done it for so long,
I've forgotten how, now.
- - so perhaps, please, could someone explain HOW?
*then I'll learn HOW now too*
Thanks FLutter!
LOL!!!!!!
Do you even try to talk to them? Or do ya just help to clog the already slow GM response time by assuming they are afk?Thanks for trying anyway.
It never ceases to amaze me how many folks try to paint people like you AS the bad person in this situation. Or they try to act like there are no scripters nor afk macro'ers. Don't let them discourage ya tho, keep on doing what you are doing. They don't answer, so be it.... Report 'em all, let the GM's sort it out
*edit*
Good place to go Yomatsu mines at the entrance. Usually a person or two there afk training pets on Shadow elle's. I go there on my stealther often just to report the ones who seem to be afk.
How do you tell they are afk?

Wait. Are you saying if I disagree with you I must be a scripter? If you will rethink that comment I suspect you will agree it does not express your true beliefs. In fact, it is logically impossible to tell if someone is afk, just as it is impossible to know what someone else is thinking.
Scripting and macro'ing only? Since you're jumping ahead on assumptions why not report on harassing other players or using other illegal third-party programs.
Really? How do you know that? Have you a special ability to read minds? What technique do you use to know someone is cheating? How do you know this is usually the case?
- - or is that it? Should I start on a new city with a new character? Don't think I can go through all that again ... so back to - - ??? ah - yes - Real Life!!!
How hard is it to stop and say hello? Especially if the player persists in waiting for an answer? If you are willing to spend the time to place a harrassment charge after a GM shows up, perhaps you need to reconsider what you are doing.
Say something to let anyone interested that you aren't an unattended macroer. Seriously, how hard is that and just how many players care enough to bother to ask if you are THERE?
I generally just steal everything in their pack/disarm/DP them and if they don't chase me, I page. bonus points for when they start auto chugging pots as i poison them repeatedly. (i think my record is burning through about 30 cure pots someone had on them, would have gone higher but they ran out :/)
), i got SOOO many bags of sending from doing this I still havent run out to this day, i've literally never bought a bag of sending on siege and i use them all the time. Also gotten a ton of faction silver in the past like this.
While I follow you and understand what you're saying, please keep in mind that for me personally, if I am training a pet or doing some other tedious activity it means that I am unable (at that time) to socialize. While I may be at the computer, I may also be on the phone, making appointments, or caring for a sick person, or some other activity that makes it a hassel for me to answer a would-be UO policer. (Maybe I'm just watching a movie)How hard is it to stop and say hello? Especially if the player persists in waiting for an answer?

Wouldn't it be quicker to stop for a moment and to say hello and NOT waste the Player's time, the GM's time, and YOUR TIME too.

..now back to real life ..
Newspeak. Griefers are honest! The innocent are cheaters! We can read your mind and don't dare disagree! Yes, visitors to UHall never change.
Thanks for that level headed post, Perma Fried.
I forgot to add that in the past 14 years I have even left my character to die in dangerous places on a few occasions because something needed my immediate attention in real life. Once it was a smoke alarm going off. I don't play dangerous places unless I expect I can stay focused on the game for a while.
