Every day I get on Illarion and play as my hobbit character "Talith". Well when I got home, and logged on in the internet, and started up Illarion, It wouldn't let me use my character. It said a character by this name can't be found. What happenned?!@?! Please help!

Your favorite word in the game is "gay", my favorite word in Secure Shell is "rm TALITH.player".

What are you talking about?! The only time I have said gay in the game, is when a pker woudn't leave me alone! Of course Im going to be angry! So I guess you're the one who deleted my character. Besides there are people who use a LOT worse words than that. I looked through the rules again, and didn't see that you can't use the word gay. And no warnings either. Thanks! There are PKers and you'd rather ban me because I said "gay"

then ban a pker killing noobies? Does this make sense to anybody?

Talith: I get angry! Really angry!
Bror is one of the persons who made it possible we can play this game.
He's one of them who's working for nothing, for us(!) and he's the one who pays the rent for the server/websites and so on.
He's not a gamemaster, he's
the gamemaster

and one of the gameowners!
I'd really shut up if i were you!

ok, but why not warn about saying gay?! I don't know about Germany, but here in America, everybody says it. I simply did not think it was bad.

"Gay, before about the 1950's I believe means happy. So whenever you used it you were saying "this is happy, that pker was happy". Even if it was used in medievel times, which I do not know, you were using it in the wrong context.

And using it in the wrong context is a reason for banning him?

Umm.. not in the rules? Perhaps you should read them.
http://www.illarion.org/illarion/us_rules.php
Rule 3:
All insults directed at the person behind the screen, and not the character, are frowned upon, and will not be tolerated. Neither will all racist and/or sexist remarks

Thanks Veretta, it seems you're the only one who thinks that it was a bit unfair to ban my name. Oh and Serp, you weren't there, so how in the world would you know in what context I said it in? I said that what he was doing was gay. Never that the "person behind the screen" was gay! Please don't jump in when you weren't there or don't know the whole story. But whatever it is, I'd rather leave this behind, and forget about it. Just want to let everyone know, don't use the word "gay" or you will get banned....

maybe the rules of the game are really hidden on *your* computer, on mine they are quite obvious.

read rule#3. Insults

hope it helps.
And as for "gay"=happy, true, but there is when the middle age talks is going to cause trouble, keep it logically roleplaying, and normal. (no need to conjure up "advanced ancient words"(which you didnt but just saying to others).
