Rook Rollin'

Thanks to all who came to help revive the animals in Samak Shun.  Apologies to global chat.  I got so flustered at the sight of that bird that I posted there instead of in Rook Alerts...even though I am a member.  D'oh!

  • As it was a Rook Roll, I think that Rook Alerts wouldn't like you to post it there. I understand that there were many more animals down than is usual for a Rook Roll, so Global was probably the right place to ask for help.

    I came to help but most animals were up and about again by the time I got there.

    Hope you are ok now, it must have been a shock!

  • I'm a Chief Rescuer (mod) of Rook Alerts. It's okay to post about Rook Roll revival efforts on the Rook Alerts channel, just make sure you label it clearly as a Rook Roll revival request instead of a Rook Attack.

  • Thanks for the clarification, Mal!

  • Lol, I had a bad experience reporting a rook roll even though I labelled it as such, and have since been avoiding reporting them on Rook Alerts.

  • Alas, the Chief Rescuers cannot be online all the time and so sometimes it happens that overzealous Rook Alerts people get... cranky.

  • The first time I ever saw a rook-anything, I posted it on Rook alerts and it turned out to be a rook roll (I'd never even heard of that).  I got thoroughly told off by a bunch of angry senior players, and have steered clear of the group ever since.  It was utterly mortifying.

  • @oscarette
    Yes, I am afraid that seems to be the case with a lot of people. Even before I became a mod of the group several new Glitch players IMed me to help out with the situation as I was very active in the group because of the Aranna Rook Attacks.

    I can only hope that the more irritable members of the group learn a bit of restraint in the future.

  • silly question but how do you tell the difference between types of attacks??? x

  • Look at your magic rock - during a real attack it is replaced by a rook.

  • I think the Rook Roll is the easiest mistake to make in the game. It's such a rare event that when it happens the first time of course you think it's Rook Attack unless you have seen a real Rook Attack. You see hurt animals everywhere, rooks screeching, etc. Glad to see the Rook Attack board is calming a bit.
