I'm sorry man, you seem like you have some great intentions, but you're not going to come in and show tolerance and what not and somehow manage to reform the trolls and make them like you. You kind of remind me of one of those overly optimistic types who go into a really bad neighborhood thinking they can change it, reform it, and make it safe for people. Then they find your body in a ditch somewhere a few weeks later. I totally agree that you'll need to ensure that the people going to Gilgamesh are incredibly tolerant and can persevere in the face of trolling, but you're fooling yourself if you think it'll ever stop just because you throw out a few "LOLz" when someone comes in and starts /dancing and casting Blizzard 2 over and over and over again for the next hour right on top of you.When did I say I expected it (trollins) to stop? This isn't some out-of-touch-with-reality after school special on how (not) to deal with bullying.Â
I said I expected to find good recruits for Gilgamesh RP out of its messy community, by being robust, fun, and impossible to "get at". This is going to happen parallel to dealing with knuckleheads who's only interest in us, is trying to get a rise out of us.
And when I say that, I mean, there's going to be people who can and will cast Blizzard 2 forever. I'm not the type of guy to be bothered by that kind of thing. The proximity and actions of their character no more break my immersion than the proximity of my gurgling apartment toilet. (My computer desk is right next to my bathroom.) Whatever Gilgamesh want to do for fun is all right with me, and that includes impromptu snowstorms. It's just a game.
