We all have them; the lazy players who sit at the Fountain all day, socializing or bitching or just idling. So, what are the top 10 excuses for not playing the Game? Here is a couple, to start things off:

1. I like to explore slowly, so I always will have areas to look into.
2. I'm a jester, that's my rp!

Worse: people that join a guild just so they can talk to even MORE people.

I only joined so I could talk to them since they're never at recall.

You make socializing sound like a bad thing.

Someone's a jester on FR...supposedly, he doesn't really do much jesting though, but more than sitting around.

I have one who just sits in a temple chatting though occasionally he does roam near the temple and kill a few fidos. He's been hanging around for about six years and I pick on him.

His excuse when I ask him is "but, I'll get killed!" Duh.

The picking on part is the funniest though, cause I've dubbed him our 'statue' and he has pigeons for friends. He plays along too which is neat. Hmm, a perma-script to create pigeons to fly around and land on his shoulders. Hmm, white blotches.

Some people come to muds to "chat" with friends rather then to really play the game.
Just like they come to IRC to chat.

Oh jeez, i'm tired to hell of those types.

I think the number 1 reason they dont move is that they're scared of getting their asses handed to them.

On a mud I used to play on, we had a kid who never used to leave the clanhall, like ever. I'd tell him 'You ought to get out more, get some sun'

He'd say 'It's dangerous out there'.

One day, i got tired of hearing it so I replied 'It's not much safer in here' and attacked him. Suffice to say, he got out more after that.

I never realized there was such a strong sentiment against players who opt to hang out and socialize around town square. I do it all the time with one of my characters, a bard, because, well, she's an entertainer.
So long as you're staying in character while you socialize, why would such behavior be considered "not playing the game"?

Oh if it's ROLEPLAY chatter, i'm all for it. Love that stuff to death. I just don't see how getting info on how to get answers to science homework is in character on a Wheel of Time themed mud.

If they were singing it, perhaps... <imagines terrible songs of gasseous masses>

"My character is a pacifist, so there is nothing for him to do."

How about :

"Ive already maxxed out (level wise) 3 characters already and explored the entire MUD"

Usually I point them to here or TMC and suggest looking for something with a larger amount of rooms (forgot which one it was, but did see a MU* that boasted over 250K "orginal" rooms)
