I'm not surprised that you would think "no u" is going to somehow make you come out looking better here.

You didn't come out of this thread looking great my man. Whether you were right or wrong in the original exchange doesn't matter much when you show antisocial behavior in a lot of your interactions. Reputation does matter here. Consider adjusting your approach if you don't want to end up a server pariah.

From what I can tell so far? Because you're an asshole but you don't have the nerve to talk to people in real life the way that you can on the internet so this is the only place where you can feel big in the non-fat way.

"Furthermore, if you examine point seven of thirteen explaining how I definitely don't care, you will clearly see..."

So you admit that you do care?

A tale of mad and badness in misty thicket.

So I'm killing the gate guards in misty thicket. This necro Kantok sits just behind me where I'm killing them, and he sits there an unusual amount of time with no tells/activity, maybe in excess of two hours.

He finally messages me, asking if I'll tell him when the camp is free. I say sure, no problem. He leaves.

Fast forward another hour or two. A warrior named Hadwin(?)was looking for a SoW for CR. Now, i usually wouldn't do this for most people but for a warrior I figured I'd take the time to help him out. So I told him I'd hit him with SoW after i clear the next respawn if he stays near the RV entrance.

So I go SoW Hadwin. Come back to camp and 1 of the 4 mobs I'm usually killing has respawned, which is normal since the lower level ones die faster they repop a little sooner. But here is Kantok back again claiming this camp is his because "I left" it. Not only were most of the guards dead when he arrived, their corpses were still rotting on the ground, and this guy 100% knew I was camping them.

So I offer to help him split some guard spawns in RV so he could kill there(where the exp is much better I might add) and I could stay in misty. He of course says no because this is "his camp". Eventually it boils down to us claiming single spawns and everything else is FTE.

At one point all the guards respawned at about the same time. Kantok pulls 3 guards and then FDs right on top of me. Of course I get aggro and I'm running around giving him an earful for training me in tellst . At the same time kantok jumps up pulls one of the guards to him and in his zeal to kill as fast as possible and get as many FTE as possible manages to drop himself into critical HP. So of course the 2 mobs he dropped on me run over to him and kill him.

Pretty hilarious, I thought, and at that point i could have petitioned he trained me and he'd have a vacation. But upon seeing how much of a moron this guy was, I was not sure this training was the result of malice or just dipshittery. So I wasn't going to do that unless he did it again, but he then messages me that HE is going to petition ME for training HIM. LOL.

in any event, I think Kantok got a much needed vacation. You really need to chill out, dude, and stop making enemies over such trivial shit.

Idk who is telling the truth about the training, etc., but technically the person you're calling out is right. By the letter of the server rules, if you leave the camp then you can no longer claim it and someone else can take it. You could've just run into RV to bank or vendor for example and come back out 30 seconds later and someone could take the camp in that time. The second you leave the camp, it's no longer yours. That's facts.

Now, we can say the defendant is a jerk or whatever and should be a bit nicer about you going to help someone out with a SoW for a CR, but he's technically not wrong that he can come and take the camp when you leave. Better thing for you to do in the future to avoid any issues would be to have the person needing the SoW come to you at your camp.

3 "replies" in a row? I hear someone crying, but it doesn't appear to be OP.

No amount of whining or crying on rnf changes that fact.

Like I get it, you were doing something nice by SoWing some guy in Rivervale. You could return by the time mobs respawned. In a civilized world there would be no problem here.

But EQ is a competitive game with lots of players, limited camps, and no instancing. You can't blame the guy for taking the opportunity of a nice open camp. I'm sure if the roles were reversed then you would become the elf lawyer.

Also, you then returned to the camp that you abandoned, and started harassing the guy in tells and by messing with his pulls.

OP case is a sympathetic one, but he was definitely the one in the wrong here.

What if you get trained and die because of the person who inevitably took your camp while you were heading back ? Had this happen to me the other day.
