For the sake of completeness, the OP responds to this, which will definitely be the last post the OP writes in this forum.

Regarding the incident in question Gomoratoad is right.

What I wish to comment on here is the definition of ‘maturity’ I find here. ‘Maturity’ appears to mean ‘feeling entitled to judge others and their actions by applying personal normative concepts as universal truths, inventing the persons in question, their motives and the facts in the process’. It begins by assuming that everybody who posts in a gaming forum is a ‘he’, which already demonstrates discernible concepts regarding who plays video games and who should play video games, concepts the ‘mature’ speaker is entitled to be the judge of. Along these very lines ‘maturity’ means knowing, defining and enforcing the way players have to deal with their characters, how to relate to them, which decisions are the right ones – clearly not only in the context of a given game but also regarding real life. Accordingly, ‘maturity’ means, for example, knowing what other players experienced (’ at the first sense of unfairness’), in other words, ‘maturity’ means that facts are what the ‘mature’ person believes and makes up, in contrast to, say, asking and enquiring, which are clearly ‘immature’ practices. The remarkable intellectual and philosophical profile of ‘maturity’ is matched by equally sophisticated rhetorics which consists of bullying, derision and repetition of ‘facts’ in order to provoke me-too statements from equally ‘mature’ participants. This is an infallible practice as ‘maturity’ is a widespread phenomenon in gaming communities.

As my concept of maturity is a different one I also, come to the conclusion that I am not ‘mature’ enough to handle this forum where ‘maturity’ apparently is both the accepted method of truth-finding and the guideline of social conduct.

Hello Jeffrey – I just checked, I am supposed to do now:

’Doubt. Find the wounded gwawl shaman. (because, obviously, I intended to play the gwawl line next). So what happened must have been triggered by the step I did before – I hope this is the information you want.

Edit: this was a report on an incident in the Harathi Hinterlands featuring three champions (Ministerial Guard) which suddenly spawn and attack the character, possibly in connection with the Order of Whispers storyline. As this is now being looked into and I am being insulted for an emotional reaction on said incident I see no reason for letting the posting stand. I note the social standards on this forum and leave it.
