Oh lawdy, dem TLKers never fail to amuse.
My good friend spends a lot of time on her Simba character, one which she made purely for fun and OOC purposes. She made a clear bio explaining the character's purpose, though I told her it was a somewhat futile gesture considering that many Bonfire regulars don't bother with them at all.
So a couple of days ago, we were sitting in Bonfire together when a whole cast of characters came up to her clamouring for attention of one form or another.
"Oh Simba, the outlanders are attacking!"
"Oh Simba, I missed you honey where have you been?"
"Oh Simba, I'm your long-lost brother, did you know?"
She tried to explain that the character wasn't for RPing, but either they didn't see because the chat was too fast or they willfully ignored it. Also, these people had very little consideration for personal space(you know, they were the kind of people who aren't content with sitting next to you, they have to sit in you or it's not good enough). After a while we decided to shift away, since they just weren't getting the message.
Lo and behold, every single one followed us. This went on for quite some time, until they were all convinced that Simba was a grouchy old meanie and he wasn't fit to be king. Naturally, we were in stitches. This would have kept being fun, if a Scar character hadn't then also come up. When we moved away this time, he began screaming at us in caps because Simba hadn't been terrified of his presence. We politely gave the explanation again, and directed him to the bio. This did nothing to console him, in fact it sent him into a rage because supposedly you have to constantly be IC on Feralheart or it's against the rules and you should be brutally tortured.
Not sure if this is still entirely on-topic, but it seemed like an amusing example of how crazy those guys can be.
