One of the things I never understood about people who make 'timid' deer:
If they're so fearful, why do players have them run up to deer/groups then cower away?
Wouldn't it make more sense for that character to not hang around or approach in the first place?
A butterfly pelted doe with no pictogram (i think my game was glitching) kept doing that to me when I was in the forest this morning and it got really old really fast. Yeah, You're timid, I get it. That's why I'm trying to walk my deer really far away from yours and not bother it.
But following Furfur and cowering repeatedly is not going to make him suddenly get warm fuzzies and comfort said deer. Frankly its only going to annoy me considering it makes the other deer in the forest think he was fighting/attacking/abusing/harassing this deer when it's actually nearly the opposite case.
Then again I never understood a 'timid'/overly fearful character in the first place. How can it be fun to purposefully distance yourself from everyone in the forest and just button mask the 'fear'/'sad' emotes when anyone looks at you?
I can understand on site it'd make for an interesting character to write about, but in forest it's like "excuse me, WTF are you doing? what are you afraid of me? what'd I do? um, alright i'm walking away. why are you following me? i thought I scared you? What is your problem? argh go away!"
On a completely unrelated note:
If I am on Dhina feel free to hit her with all kinds of transformation magic. I'm looking for the mini-deer spell but not actually persistent enough to sit down with someone and get spammed. If you need someone to hit with a frog spell then aim for her. I won't sneeze it off and will just run around as whatever animal she becomes for that visit.
Pelt spells are fine too. She has, as far as I know, every pelt spell on right now but it doesn't hurt to have more just in case.
"If they're so fearful, why

Saosin will try to scare them away, since they just seem to want attention.
But it can also mean submission, it has happened many times that deer have cowered just as Saosin sniffed them. I think that's a good way to approach my deer.
Do you still need a transformation spell? I can try to help you.
I prefer more subtle timid
The types of timid deer that annoy me the most though are the ones who are scared of everyone but will attack for the stupidest reasons, haha.
There was a doe once who attacked me for no reason other than me being around her friends once, but she shy'd away from groups. Stupid isn't it.
Hm, I got that experience
But well he won't follow someone who he's afraid of...

@Saosin- Yeah but I'm
@VCG- I wouldn't say crazy since it could be taken as hurtful, but it is pretty strange yes.
@Sithrim: -applauds- now that's the timid I want to see. It's much more ah...player friendly?
Hehe, my only really
Speaking of Noface, I haven't played the poor guy in ages..
But yeah, that is really weird. Someone was following my stag the other day, and every time he kept running off, they'd follow, then cower and make a sad emote, and shake their head. It confused the hell out of him and he just kept trying to run. xD I eventually resorted to air-sitting to get away from it.
Only two of my deer can be
AHH.
Kitty~ I haven't played Nameless or Lace in forever...
