To those of you with simple sets, such as only a pelt, no pelt with mask and antlers, or a pelt and flowers,
Do any of you face these problems?
- Random spellspam to give you a mask, even if you say no
- Random spellspam to give you antlers, even if you say no
- treatment like a newbie (i.e. minimal interaction or plain ignoring)
How do you deal with these problems?
Does it make you more inclined to have a different set?
Admittedly I do give spells
I don't permanently wear a "simple set", although most of the time I don't wear anything, or just a pelt. Flowers rarely. Though I absolutely welcome spellspamming, it never happens randomly, only when I initiate it. So no, I haven't had any of the issues you listed.
For your third point, I'm not sure but it might also have something to do with the fact that I play with a Gen1 picto that I've never felt treated that way. I have thought about this before and I'm sure that it happens (it is a logical thing to do). I myself "adapt" my body language when I sense that I'm dealing with a new deer. But I think it's very easy to break those "expectations" if you get it across through your body language that no, you're not a nameless with a glitched picto and you have a clue what you're doing.
[e]: terabetha below there has made a good point about spellcasting I think!
When playing Teradeer I wear
Really, I don't see this as a problem. Giving each-other spells is part of the game and an important part; the more people express a dislike for being spelled the more difficult it is for new players to enjoy forest magic. They end up walking on eggshells, "I can't spell them, they are an older player and will get mad!" and it has already become very hard to find deer in-game who are willing to help get a set; players never used to have to resort to posting a blog to get that sort of attention. Spell-casting only becomes a problem when a player ignores another players wish not to be cast upon, that's just disrespectful. Still, there are plenty of ways to momentarily avoid magic, so players do have 'defensive' tactics available to them.
I personally find letting said deer get one spell away from a complete peacock set, and then reloading my deer's spells to be very gratifying! C<
I play mostly as a fawn so I
Whenever playing, I do just that, playing. < So there are nothing to "deal" with either. (I was so much taking negative behaviours at heart when new to TEF though, but I wasn't aware of what being IC or OOC was.)
I did notice the different treatment my character get whenever having his set or not. When naked I get ignored a lot more, but a bit of playfulness usually do the trick.
All of my characters wear
So in other words, if someone casts on you, just sneeze it off, shake your head, and bow. I think that should be understandable.
Edit - As far as mini-deer, I don't cast pelt spells on them unless I'm sure they want the spell. The only person I really associate this with is Kaoori, if she's not wearing her nightfall pelt I'll take the time to give it to her.
I really hate it when people
To show them that I dont like it I either shake my deer's head or hit them with my antlers but sometimes they continue with the pelts and I have to run away.
I don't like when people do this, sometimes it even makes TEF lag
I run around the forest
Problem is, Quad, I ran in to
:/ I know people are trying to be nice and all, but sometimes it gets really outta hand.
Well, recently I started
People are so precious. The
The fact is, its an action in game. It is there to be used.
Last I checked, there was never an ettequite.
So no. I do not have a problem with it. I deal with these problems by not caring. There are bigger things to worry about.
I understand that the action
I don't really have a problem
I have both characters who do and don't like spells just not to get angry all the time.
This probably wouldn't be fair but what if there were a button you could click on the menu and it would disable spells casted on you? I think it would make TEF calm down about the whole spellspamming thing a little
But that's just my ideas ^^"
