The Derp

[blacksnout]

Hello, I'm BlackSnout, the Guide of Flow. as you can tell by the subject, this is a question of whether someone does or does not possess the disease known simply as, 'the derp'. You see, I have this other player who sticks by my side who is simply known as "Cinnamon". her irc handle, however, is "AGENTCINNAMON". she is the most obnoxious player i have ever had the pleasure of knowing ever.

First she rambles about how she can 'feel' a certain thing and she 'knows to trust her Shpirits'. that's fine and all, she's the maid of fate.

but she's also very stupid. not insultingly- well yes insultingly stupid. she's obnoxious. she types all caps and calls herself "THE BESTH MAID OF FATE WIZZARD EVUR".

It's ridiculous. is there a cure for a derp of this magnitude?

Okay, first question: have you tried thwapping her upside the head?

If you have and she's still acting like this...well, drag her through a few maturity quests. Hopefully she'll get better.
The all-caps thing is either Rangoon or she's having trouble seeing regular-sized text. Get her some better computer-glasses, maybe, and if that doesn't fix it, see if anyone will give her a quest to cure Rangoon.

(Also, if she's slurring her words, she may be drunk.)

Firstly, are you sure she isn't just drunk? Because for a game mostly played by adolescents, there are a lot of alcoholics running around. (What am I saying? It's a bunch of unsupervised teenagers. It'd be more surprising if they didn't drink, regardless of how stupid that is.)

kids remember, don't play on drugs. or vodka. leave it to me.

Don't take this the wrong way, Blacksnout, but I think Cinnamon falls more in line with what I would expect out of my consorts than you do. So unless the game rolls up the majority of its consorts pre-derped, which I'm doubting, this is probably her normal behavior.

I think what may've happened is that Blacksnout here just applyed playerdom to a normal consort, and wound up fairly normal as a result, but Cinnamon tried to layer it on top of the Secret Consort template.
