Oh and when you do submit a petition on the forums don't bump it and don't make a separate thread in RnF or any other section about it.

Give as much detail as possible and provide information such as what time it took place.
Adding your log file may help too, but that can be faked so its not evidence enough alone.

Fraps is fucking dog shit. If you're using fraps you're a idiot. (not calling you a idiot burkemi, just anyone who still uses fraps)
There are far better options now-a-days for video recording. Some of which even offer the ability to record the X amount of time and save that. Rather then saving gigs and gigs of video footage.

And another things,. fraps codec is good quality but it eats up huge amounts of space. There are excellent options for high quality compressed video codecs.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes it does,. So to other programs that can use custom codecs with adjustable settings, framerate and more.
Fraps is 90's Just because this is a 1999 server doesn't mean you have to use a recording program from that era.

Excellent video for anyone who wants some basic education on video recording now-a-days. Using certain popular video recording programs.

It also gives real visual proof why fraps is dog shit now-a-days.

I use an old fashioned kitchen timer for camp spawns. I receive batphone texts on a shitty flip phone. I run fraps. But then I also don't give a fuck. Next time someone steals your camp, pity them and move on. The more exchanges you have with them, the more of a jaded minmaxer you're bound to become. Game's fun when you don't try so hard and you can take a step back and laugh at it all. It's just pixels.

In my experience petitioning works great if there's a guide on, but I'm pretty sure they don't have set hours and that they all have RL jobs etc.

If you had a full group and he was solo to PL just start pulling like fucking maniacs and leave so few mobs up for him that it ends up not being worth his time to try to PL @ that camp. He'll piss all over the front of his clothes and threaten you because he knows Rogean personally and he'll tell you the rules and how your wrong. JUST PULL FASTER.

Worst case, he actually does petition and the guide either laughs at him or makes you guys split the camp. Just don't actually train them or get them killed and you'll win and have a clean whistle.

Also, hi Ennewi! <3

Just roll up 300 mobs and dump them on his rogue.

In the wise benevolent words of Sirken:

Yep, OP should have tried red for sure. If he had a full group on at the giant fort, there wouldn't have been anyone else to actually steal the camp.

I hope he PM'd you a thank you note.
We still have warders too.
