It is a puzzlement

[CanonicalKoi]

Playing around solo in Meathead's Deli, looking for stuff for my PvP guys and the legendary pink lvl 10, something puzzling happened. A lvl 50 player arrived during my fourth or fifth go-round. Then he sends me a PM saying, "boot me pls". Why? The only possibilities I can come up with are:

1. He's on the forum and read all the posts regarding booting and doesn't want to feel left out.
2. He's promised to cut down on his playing time and can't think of another way to stop playing for the evening.
3. He's had a burning desire to be booted by a lower-level player (playing my tank).

Can anybody else think of a logical explanation? I didn't boot him--I just sent him a message saying, "Why on earth would I do that?". He left on his own a minute later.

hahahahahaha

[Iambirdman]

He wanted a screen shot of you booting him than posted here and call you names? Lol

[Royce]

Mynas gener that joined via quick join, and didn't know how to exit on his own until you forced him to figure it out? Anyway, crazy.

Dev using a non-Dev account to test the Boot. Or, he has never been booted before in the game but wanted to comment on the recent boot threads. He needed the experience of being booted so as to have an opinion on the matter.

OMG same exact thing happened to me in balefort. He said boot me pls. I said why? Then he said so that he could join another game. No idea what he meant, so I just booted him. That's weird...

Was it Anglfyr or something like that? That was mine, anyway and I'm sorry I didn't get a screenshot--too busy going, "Wha.....?????"

[Royce]

Maybe this guy just hates himself, and wants to be punished. I bet he also hosts PvP maps, and then just sits there waiting to be killed...

Oh wow, koi, king & I reference as well as correct locale of Herr professor's studio. I shouldn't be surprised, but that's cool!

I'm not sure if "cool" is really the best word for it...

"Nerdy", maybe?

I am the very model of a modern Mage with wand in hand,
I've been from Coney Island to the sands of the old Samarkand,
Long have I studied Physick and the code of numerology,
Gazed upon the planets, stars, and moons as far as human eye can see.
I've read the palms of kings, a duke and even a rhinoceros,
Studied the phrenology of pygmies and hippopotamus,
In short, in matters scary, magical and toxins in a gland,
I am the very model of a modern Mage with wand in hand.

Lmao
If that wasn't so long, I'd put it in my sig.

OMG mine was anglfyr. That's so wired I don't get what he was trying to do...

[Raxie]

you guys don't know about this? there's a special program and if someone boots you, you get 1 gold.

[CanonicalKoi]

That is just too weird. Bonus points for the guy, anyway--he did say, "pls" both times, so he's polite. Confused, maybe, but polite.

And Raxie, I ain't buying it. If the reward was a cookie, now, or even a pony.......

[Raxie]

sometimes, you can get ponies! only if you are lucky, though.

hey stop talking about me hahaha and for your information i am not a HE.

OMG, I played with you the other day and the name was familiar, but I didn't connect it to this thread. Anyway, solve the mystery for us please

[CanonicalKoi]

My apologies. I was using "he" as the generic pronoun. And I'm with Royce--why the boot requests?
