Question for a Red: Is it okay to quote Kled?

Assuming the one playing Kled is either the speaker or the recipient, is quoting these lines okay?

"I'm gonna murder you to death!" "I will murder your whole family!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll gut you!" "I'm gonna' cut you open and use your spine for a back scratcher, because it is itchy! Very itchy!" "I hate you!" "I'll kick the crap outta' you!"

Despite the fact things like this would normally warrant a ban, it should be okay if Kled's involved, right?

You made this thread a couple months back. Nothing has changed.

Kled's quotes are clearly in the context of the world that the character lives in, which is not the world we are in when we engage in a game of League of Legends. To use the fact that Kled something as justification to say it to somebody else is a ridiculous logical leap, and assuming that another player would understand your word usage to be a quote of Kled, rather than a verbal attack, is unrealistic at best.

Well, I'm not a Red, but I'll give you a bit of a common sense answer on this one. The IFS doesn't have Kled's lines programmed into it. So, if you type something in there like "I'll kill you!" or "I'll murder your whole family!" and you get reported for it, you're likely to get dinged for issuing death threats.

Things like "I hate you!" aren't as bad, since you don't necessarily have to like anyone, and the back scratcher one is pretty unique, so even if you got dinged for it, you could easily prove that you were just quoting Kled. But you might want to avoid saying any lines that are overt threats that aren't obviously unique to Kled, since if you got reported for it, you wouldn't have a way to prove that you were just roleplaying him.

I agree. Anything a character says in game should be fine to type lol
