A Secluded Forest Trail
Here the trail appears to be less dense. Large trees form a small canopy of
shelter from the harsh environment that dwells outside of this forest. The
ground has small patches of grass and moss, most of which is trampled in
its attempt to grow on this traversed ground. Dead leaves, both brown and
orange litter the path here, as if fall is an eternal season this far south.
Low hanging branches scratch at your face, hanging so low that it is almost
painful walking through this brush. A small stump lays in the middle of the
path here, cut brutally by what appears to be a massive axe of sorts. You can
continue to the east and west here.

A Turn in a Secluded Forest Trail
Here there is an abrupt turn in the forest. To each side rests a small stump
where once grew mighty trees. A brutal cut can still be seen in the wooden
behemoth, marking the severe end of this plant's life. Prints in the ground
are distinctly that of giants, and probably lead toward the city further to
the south. Dead leaves of brown and orange litter the ground, marking the
eternal autumn that these woods have come to know. You can continue further
north and east here.

They aren't here. <- This.
He was visible to me all the time, not a thief/assassin/ranger.

Is if they don't exist (quit), or are a shifter who has shifted.

He can't hear you.
There were no pauses in conversation. And he is not a shifter but invoker.

Subject: My guess is a keepreply to a shifter, or...
the person telling to you did a noreply.

Subject: That was noreply
Heh, I just noticed this.
That was a noreply command. You had just asked me to group (after I spent like 6 RL hours trying to find ANYONE to group with and was desperate to learn so I got sloppy). I ran all the way to the past, got jumped by a bloodoath on the way, escaped from them (using my last recall potion), ran back to the past this time running around the bloodoath all to learn...and you immediately jumped me and killed me when I finally got to you (with like 5% moves left and alas no recall potion.)
I didn't really 'blame' you cause I know what kind of game this is all too well, but I was pissed at myself and all the wasted time I've been spending playing and I figured I'd prevent myself from boiling over with rage and going OOC by just saying my civil bit about 'Oh well...' and hit noreply so I wouldn't have to continue the conversation. I hoped you'd take the hint. I consider ignore to be rude and ooc.
And then you started lecturing me about how I should learn something from all this. I believe that was the last time I logged in so I suppose I did learn something from it.
But yes, long story short. That was noreply. If many people are doing it to your characters, maybe that says something.
