uh, hi.

Really?

Well, mice living aboard the aurora have evolved a natural fear of the colour purple, due to it being worn by their mortal enemies, the janitors. My mouse is naturally afraid of an overt janitor, especially when he's placing devices that look like the ones that killed her parents...

Do you want me to write a mouse backstory explaining motivations and knowledge? or...

I wasn't pointing out their locations, the captain who was looking after me saw you placing them too and was therefore perfectly aware of their location. i was merely indicating that i was afraid of them. It's pretty amateurish of you to place traps in full sight of your intended prey. There were also several other reasons to be afraid there, including a drone and a cyborg, and i recall seeing a vaurca at one point. All natural predators of the humble mouse.

As for this 'crusade' you talk about... I'm the one that buffed mousetraps to catch mice on vents, i buffed runtime to make her a more lethal mousecatching weapon, i gave diona nymphs an ability and a reason to eat mice, and i added bears that will happily maul mice on sight.

Mouse traps are traps, they work when your prey doesnt know about them, and you've killed me with them plenty of times. Are there not enough other mouse players to feed your bloodlust? You're just about the only janitor i know that habitually places those traps, in areas you know they'll catch a playermouse off guard. And i'm accused of metagaming here? Pot calling the kettle black, i'd say

I'm sorry, are you the head lore dev for mice? Because either way this is the weirdest sentence I've ever read in terms of a backstory.

please no

Do you know what mice do when they are afraid?

They run like hell due to adrenalin telling them to run. In fact, there exist some parasites in the real world that can hijack a mouse's danger sense and stop them from receiving adrenalin when encountering predators, they'll literally run into cats and commit suicide-by-cat. They don't quiver and shrink up and hide behind their "master" though, that is what small dogs do because they are actually intelligent enough to process the fact they can hide behind someone else to defend them. Mice are not. They have pea brains. Therefore they have way less processing power.

You were literally pointing directly at the traps repeatedly like you were pointing out pitfalls to whoever was holding you. Mice are literally still as tiny as they were since the second space age started, which means they are no more intelligent and lack a few things:

1.) Ability to introspect

2.) Ability to learn new behaviors

3.) Ability to evaluate and work around threats efficiently

In the case of 3, they run like hell, often haphazardly into other threats. Cats catch them pretty easily, they aren't very smart animals.

So yeah, I can pretty much honestly say you were the one acting on metaknowledge as a mouse here. You're a common pest, not a special snowflake pet.

 

Mouse traps are traps, they work when your prey doesnt know about them, and you've killed me with them plenty of times. Are there not enough other mouse players to feed your bloodlust?

The traps work because mice don't have the God-given ability to learn from their mistakes, and it's not even their brain that is working half the time, but pure driven instinct and a shit-ton of adrenalin flowing through their blood stream.

Jesus christ, Nanako. This is still metagaming.

1.) You are not your character.

2.) You play a different mouse every time you hit the become mouse button in order to respawn.

3.) Yes, you do have to roleplay being an incredibly destructive wild pest.

In case anyone's still not caught up on this, YES, this is valid as a complaint on metagaming, even if it is about fucking mice. It is still shit roleplay and should not be tolerated on the server.

Like, there is no way this is a legit complaint. No way. Just.....no.

RIGHT?

[Guest Menown]

I'm not going to be mocked by both the administration and the playerbase. Close this complaint.
