View Full Version : Stupid email I received

So I receive an email to me, but was obviously sent to the wrong person...

why is it that you mostly make new quests, items, skills ....etc for
members only and nothing new for free players? Are you trying to get
those who only play as a free play to spend money and have to get a
members account to do more quests get more items (weapons, spells,
skills etc)

And then the fun begins...

Do you have the vorpal blade for the jabberwock quest? It's how you unlock the jubjub bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.

i've been a free member since i started and have no plans on becomming
a paying member...which means i do not have the vorpal blade and can't
do the jabberwock quest

You don't have the vorpal blade? All you need to do is rest by the Tumtum tree and the Jabberwock will appear.

Those were all from Feb 11, then he finally emails again, a week later...

did you not understand anything i said? i'm NOT A PAYING MEMBER!!! so
any special weapons that only a MEMBER can get i can't i'm a F2P
runescape player

Ever read Alice in Wonderland?

And I guess he didn't appreciate my question:

did you ever read the email where its says that you will now be considered spam and any emails you send will be fowarded to runescape

I have no clue how my email was associated with some online game or how stupid this person is to keep going when I'm obviously not answering his questions, but am quoting Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky instead.

Tee-hee!

If you really wanted to fuck with him, you could've sent some Edward Lear as well.

Or tell him about hunting the Snark.

Hilarity, Jon, hilarity!

The first email made me think it was from a user of a certain somebody's text-based game.

Well, the guy has a point. He's not a paying member.

I never got my Vorpal blade either or my Joel Hollander commemorative bar towel, plus some took my hat. I'm not a paying member but I expect better service. This is the internet after all. Tanks for nuttin!

It's a portmanteau word (http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/portmant.htm) that Lewis Carroll made up. It combines "fuming" and "furious" into one word.

Humpty Dumpty explicates it in Through the Looking Glass.

Exactly why I chose to use Jabberwocky. It's just such a fun poem with lots of words the guy wouldn't get, but could still pass off as part of some stupid game. I wish he didn't wait a week between emails or I really would have ran it much longer and added alot more details from the poem, then start bringing in the rest of the book slowly.

Both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass have so much craziness to mine, it'd have been wonderful. And lots of RPG/Fantasy games mine them for snippets of plot so I definitely agree with you that they're a perfectly logical place to begin if you're going to fuck with someone like this.

Jabberwocky is the first poem I ever memorized.

I've since worked on The Walrus and the Carpenter and have to hunt down a copy of The Hunting of the Snark ... or maybe a brain-teaser book. Mr. Dodgson may have been a pedophile, but, damn, it didn't stop him from being a very clever logician!
