What is "The ground shakes.. "

I keep getting this phrase sent by random unknown players. Honestly, it’s quite creepy and as a female player I dislike it greatly. The first few times, I asked them to stop and whoever it was became belligerent and angry. So I reported and blocked the first few, now I just block. What am I missing? Is this supposed to mean something?!? It’s the same phrase each time. The phrase: “The ground shakes… You barely have to to react before feeling the ground beneath you collapse - sending you tumbling many feet into the pit below. You crash with a tremendous thud, not quite knocked out and barely lucid in the dark.”

I just assume it’s someone bored with one of those auto whisper mods messing with me when I get weird random messages.

Just ignore it.

must have to do with that squid game.

Nah… I finished Squid Game, it was really good :slight_smile:

Sounds like the start of a random D&D adventure

I’ve never heard that phrase before and couldn’t find anything when I googled it. Since you’ve gotten it from multiple people I would have assumed it would be easy to find if it were a hot new internet copy-pasta or a quote from some other piece of media.

I’m not entirely sure what it’s supposed to mean either. It looks like an RP prompt but that’s a really odd thing to just send out to random people and an even odder thing to get mad about when they reply back with confusion. So I’ll confess I have no idea what’s going on here.

I’m pretty sure just about anyone would dislike it. Not sure why gender comes into play here.

I also have no idea what it is or why anyone would do that to someone. That sounds like some major boredom from someone. :flushed:

Beat me to it.

I legit threw my head slightly back, blinked and thought “Wait… what? Why?”

I would like it. I’ve never gotten a random RP whisper before from someone. That would be pretty cool.

““We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out… they are coming.””

I’m down to RP with people, even strangers. But I would generally prefer their first whisper be “hey, wanna do some RP?” Not an out-of-the-blue prompt.

I think I would’ve just whispered them back with “GRANDMA WHERE’S MY SOCK?!” and then blocked them. Just for that “what the—” factor. :grin:

your reply should have just been
“ah that burrito finally passed”

That wouldn’t be of interest to me, and would come across as pretty weird since I don’t play on an RP realm. But getting a random unsolicited RP whisper of some kind isn’t something I’d have a problem with. I would find it interesting.

They are waiting for the counter phrase “table and chair wobble wobble”.
