First: I locked this because it totaly got out of hand. And also it doesn't even have to do with the Original Intention of the thread
Second: I said it would be a rough event in the first post, the same day I made the announcement. My events are rough, for any level range. If i was doing an event for levels 2-5, it'd still be rough. For them.
Third: Emer, you should be less blunt and try to choose your words more carefuly, it really was not cool to tell anyone they are "crying" and all that.
Fourth: Moon, you yourself said your char is squishy. 5 cleric/3 ranger, is not even a melee character, so you always have to play her from the back.
That said, I merely tried to give you a friendly advice that, even if the event is going to be rough, you would be ok and be helpful if you did a healing role.
I also told you that you are free to play your character the way you like, and if for you it's more fun to play melee and die (since you said you don't mind dying) then do it, that won't ruin anyone's fun. Contributes to RP.
To this point, also want to add that I fail to see how staying in the back and offering healing, buffs, shooting arrows to do some damage, and ROLE PLAYING with the team can be boring. It's an RP server, if I recall correctly, and so as long as you can RP your char as you want, should be fun, even if you have to stay back (which also opens doors for other type of RP, of the humble adventurer that knows this time they need to offer support rather than being in the front line).
Lastly. I will not hear again anyone saying "I won't go to your event because I can't contribute in any way". If you don't want to come because you think that, keep it to yourself, I, as a player and DM don't want to know about this. Just tell me you can't make it or whatever… but I feel as if i was trying to be fooled when I hear the "I can't contribute" thing. (Sorry, this is my personal thinking, and it IS like that for me)
Even a level 1 wizard with 4hp can be given healing balms and keep people alive. Roll a good INT roll and save the day by solving a riddle, or whatever. And for the record... if I was a PC, I would always appreciate having an extra cleric on my team, even if level 2, because when you hit negatives HP, you don't care if it's Shannon or Mr. Newbie who gets you back on your feet. You just want to get back on your feet.
Moon, you are free to come, or not come, regardless of everything. You have your reasons that make you think so, then that's fine. If you change your mind and want to come, that's fine too. To each, their own. This is a game and everyone can choose what events to go and which to skip.
But you are the one who told me yesterday "I'm used to not being in any events anyways". Excluding yourself from them won't change this fact.
