Fun fact: There are some hacker kiddies who feel it necessary to disconnect people over a meaningless spot. I got hit by one of em in Mushroom Empire (over a friggin Renegade Spore spot).
I thought he was bluffing when he threatened us, but then he froze my game (thankfully he didn't try to hack me - his threat, even if real, was quite tame) - which I process-terminated out of.
'Course the first thing I did when I got back on was report the friggin bastid. And then I challenged his hacker ethics - why disconnect people over so insignificant a spot? I could see if it was Discs/MP3/Skellies/Scarecrows/ToT/Lionheart, but Renegade Shrooms? Seriously?! Not to mention the map had a piss poor training layout, and if he was out for spores he could've just picked up table scraps.
But no, this guy has the nerve to disconnect anyone who is in his space and channel if they don't CC when he demands them to.
In the end the guy CC'd. Whether Nexon beheaded the guy via ban or not, I don't know.
Unrelated note, but on-topic: I am officially the first Dark Elf (AKA Black Mercedes) that I've seen thus far on Windia. 'Tis my Christmas present to myself. Of course, I probably intend to go all the way unlike Mechanic (which failed dismally when somehow it got deleted - how I don't know or remember) - most likely because Orca's involved, and I need to tie up some loose ends with the brat.
Oh yeah, Athena Pierce is older than Mercedes, btw. Apparently the Black Mage's curse stops your aging when it's in full effect, meaning that essentially Mercedes is age-locked when the first fight's over. Of course, Athena's sister, Danika, ain't pleased with that at all.
That's how Aran apparently lived through the passing of time after the First War - because as Mercedes and the Elders put it, he'd be dead by now if that weren't the case, since he's human. Quote Philius:
We're Elves. Time is on our side.
Though in some cases, that would actually backfire. Like in Danika's case: Her sister literally caught up to her in size, power, and smexiness (in the second instance, it's confirmed by Danika that Athena's actually stronger than her now, what with the curse also weakening her).
One last thing before I shut up:
Mercedes seems to act like a MapleStory player who thinks that Maple's still in Open Beta during her initial story. Loved her reaction towards Wing (though I wished she would've bitchslapped him for good measure - that would've been more hilarious).
