True, true...
I remember one time, I roleplayed as my apprentice named Dawnpaw. There were two or three other apprentices; I forgot their names, so we'll go by App1, App2, and App3 (or perhaps subtract one or two, give or take.)
App1: The young she-cat leaped on the thrush, instantly killing it. She picked it up and snorted at Dawnpaw.
App2: (App2)paw's paws caught a mouse just as it ran away.
Me (Dawnpaw): A bounding leap brought Dawnpaw close to a small, scrawny mouse; it darted away between her paws, skittering across the Autumn leaves. "Mouse dung," she hissed, her claws scraping against the ground in frustration. ((Guys, really... we've just become apprentices, we don't know how to hunt, fight, or anything.))
App1 & 2: No, we're just smarter than you.))
App1: She snorted at Dawnpaw and whispered, "She's real dumb, she couldn't catch that mouse" to (App2)paw.
Me (Dawnpaw): Overhearing, she snapped around. "I'm not dumb," she retorted hotly. "I'm just beginning, and so are you. You just got lucky!"
App2: "No, we're smarter than you" his sneered at the stupid she-cat (were not lucky, were experts)
App1: Yeah, we're good at this. Dawnpaw's mentally ill!))
And so, they ran off and "gossiped to the Clan" about how Dawnpaw was "mentally ill" and "unable to catch the scrawniest mouse."
Of course, the leader saw their "gossip," seeing as they, too, were in the group, and were nearby and saw their Local chat. They were kicked for being unrealistic and harsh to another Clanmate.
True story. Although they'd been kicked, they complained to me via whisper that it was my fault they'd been kicked from the Clan, and proceeded to harass/threaten me about it, calling me "unrealistic" and "illiterate," seeing as I'd not been the absolute best at hunting or fighting.
I only said:
"You can't be serious, guys... apprentices can't do that on the first day. Maybe a decent mouse on like, the fortieth definitely not their first day as an apprentice."
To which... they said... they reported me.
LOLWUT? x'D
(They probably didn't, as my guess was they didn't know how to.)
Yay for LOOONG rant story!
P.S.
Don't go saying, "You should've reported them" and all that jazz. I tried. Really, I did, but seeing as it was a Clan with 50+ members all typing in Group/Local at the same time, I couldn't catch the whispers, no matter how much I tried to scroll up - it was always spammed. I tried turning it off, but at the time, other people were whispering me, too, so it was basically impossible.
