There are a few key assumptions one must make while playing on P1999. The sooner you understand this the better.

1) Everybody is against you. Everybody wants the best loot and they will do anything to get it. Your "friends" in your guild? They're using you to get loot. Other guilds? They want to cut you out of the running for loot completely.

2) The GMs say they are fair. Say. Always assume GMs will not be on your side regardless of the who is in the right. People will say/do absolutely anything to get what they want in P1999. Always assume morals do not exist.

3) All guilds are equal before GMs. Some are just more equal.

4) If you have better gear than another you are superior in every way. You are better looking IRL, have a bigger penis, make more money, and are more important/central to the story of EQ. All players must bow before you and acknowledge that you are simply superior.

5) Obtaining gear is a result of: a) time committed b) luck c) social manipulation

6) Unlike real life, you will be punished if you find a way to make cash fast.

7) Everybody has a wife/girlfriend/brother

8) You aren't here to have fun. You are here to work. This is serious shit.

When you act like a punk, do not be suprised when you are treated like one.

I showed up in OOT from FP. I see my friend is in the zone and I hit him up see what hes doing. He asks me the same I tell him Im gonna see if dino is open. he tells me dino had been up for a few minutes but he wasnt sure if it was camped. Then I ran across the zone from FP to dino island which takes a few more minutes. I have time to summon a pet and burnout him then I engage.
Then I /shou Dino taken.
I hear /shou Dino is taken.
I /shou No i mean, Im taking dino. Hes been up for a little while and I'm on him now.

I get a tell "dino is camped'
me: Nah its been up for a while and I attacked him man, read the rules its mine.
dude: soandso was getting his corpse. But he was at the camp so its his. And you're going to have to beat both of us to his spawn each time.
me: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
dude: or I can petition you
Me: go ahead youre in the wrong.
dude: someone was at the camp its not yours.
me: You had more than enough time to engage this mob.
Dude: we are not obligated to attack it the moment it spawns in.
Dude: Youve been petitioned if it gets answerred yorue going to be asked to leave.
me: you will too lol.
dude: otherwise we'll see who wins out each spawn.
(dino spawns in, I engage first they KS)
Dude: Sorry you lose lol
Me: circle jerk more. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dude: oh now you're crying?
Me: rivers.



I waited around for a while after this and even put in a petition myself.
Meanwhile they KSd me on every spawn I engaged.
Petition was never answerred.

I eventually just tried to just squash it and went to sleep.


But Hey, just so you know for future reference KAUSHI AND WEVLIN

Quote:
5. Outdoor pathing mobs are not campable unless you are sitting at the spawn point and able to engage it instantly. Outdoor mobs on fast respawn such as HG and spectres, if you cannot engage immediately you do not hold the camp.

Okay, I was just going to let this guy pound nails into his own coffin because clearly he's a piece of work, but I don't like to see my guild drug through the dirt just as much as the next guy. When I waited until I was level 45 to join up with an actual guild (and not just a couple of friends tooling around and XPing together occasionally), it was important to me to find a guild where standards of behavior and integrity were important values. After all, just as much as my behavior reflects on my guild, the behavior of the guild reflects back on me.

I wasn't there for the Freeti Incident. I agree it was kind of a douche move and wish it had turned out better so I don't have some person suffering from Tourette's Syndrome and his enchanter "friend" trashing my guild. But, as someone mentioned before, you have guilds getting their raid targets snatched out from under them when they fail. You have guilds cramming into Hate or Fear taking advantage of one guild's work breaking into the plane. Also douche moves, but allowed by the rules. Where do you draw the line?

The server is goddamned camped to high hell, eagerly awaiting the release of new content. So yes, you have guilds breathing down each others' necks for raid targets. You have people waiting in line for the good loot/XP camps. However, there's a difference between being douchebags, and having a spine and sticking up for yourself. You don't go double-AFK when you're duoing on a decent loot camp. You did and were effectively wiped. Yes, you lived, but you lacked the ability to charm the pets and pacify the mobs needed to handle Freeti himself. If a raid wipes to Maestro because all 20 of them decided to go take a bio break at the same time, and a FD monk managed to live... you think he still "holds Maestro"? No. He can't take Maestro by himself, that raid effectively wiped, game over, next guild's turn. It was our fault for taking the 20-person shit.

No one is going to sit around and wait for you to unfuck yourself at the Freeti spawn after you and your enchanter "friend" thought up the tactically genius move of taking a dual shit together while you were duoing. As was mentioned before, even if your enchanter "friend" got back before the next PH respawn, it was because the group from VD was clearing the way for him.

Quote:
After we killed Efreeti, we both went bio AFK.
I came back to see ENC dead, I killed the roamer that killed him.
Said ENC is bound outside of SOLB.
Said ENC comes back to his corpse, trailing VD who is clearing without question anything they come across.
You couldn't handle the spawn until the enchanter got back. The only reason the enchanter could get back was if a group was clearing the path.

THEN, we find out that poor Hobby shows up, can't figure out what the fuck is going on, because he doesn't believe EITHER SIDE:

[Thu Dec 02 16:25:32 2010] You say, 'since i dont believe either one of you two completely....we'll make this a pretty simple decision'

Which is fine, because everything is complete hearsay to him at this point. He does what I would expect the GM to do in this situation. Make an impartial decision and just let the random number generator sort it out. But then you go all emo like that Kurt guy on Glee (which I totally don't watch) and throw a tantrum:

[Thu Dec 02 16:25:42 2010] Ardipithecus says, 'no , actually ill make the decision'
[Thu Dec 02 16:25:45 2010] Ardipithecus says, 'fuck you VD'
[Thu Dec 02 16:25:47 2010] Ardipithecus says, 'AKE it'
[Thu Dec 02 16:25:52 2010] Ardipithecus says, 'HAVE IT'
[Thu Dec 02 16:26:00 2010] You say, 'well... i was going to have you two roll but that solves it too!'

Therefore benevolently and graciously yielding the camp to the VD group. THEN, you come here and post about your vendetta on how you're going to steal all of VD's camps:

Quote:
Like I said, I can't wait to come up on a VD group. I'm going to do EVERYTHING in my power to KS, train etc because guess what? GM's wont do anything about it. They will make me /ran 100 to stop ....lol. Hell, I might even get a free camp!!!! MUAHHAHA
Next, you attempt to steal the AC camp and then wonder why the GM rules against you and then suspends your ass when you just admitted to everyone yesterday what your motive was? Once again, you are a tactical genius... but that is like a notch above the Double-Pooping Maneuver you invented yesterday.

Some flaws with your argument:

Quote:
He found it, I had no idea what the hell it said! I even sent in a petition saying that they were trying to steal my camp, which I had rightfully attained since the holder of said camp went AFK. (This was a lie, obviously.) However, it still should have been investigated, right? See below.

That's not what AFK camping is, otherwise the guy camping Hadden for the FB earring would get his camp stolen every time. You may want to check this out:

In case you can't find it, here you go, from Nilbog himself:

Quote:
VD makes the claim that, "The ENC didn't show up for X minutes". This is again a lie. The ENC was back way before the PH had spawned. As I stated before, the whole incident of him dying and retaining his corpse took maybe 5 minutes. A small mistake, but we have the right to make mistakes in our camp, as long as we can...
Again, the enchanter made it to his corpse because he was trailing behind the VD group. Therefore, you needed their help to have your enchanter return so you could continue to fight, no? Or can a naked enchanter pacify/lull his way perfectly all the way there on his own? I dunno. I'm a ranger. I can't even make it past the first fucking kobold with my gear.

All I know is you're making a complete fool over yourself over one Freeti camp. That you gave to us when you nerdraged. At first it didn't sit right with me that it went down the way it did as I read it, but now that you're comparing yourself to Jesus and all sorts of insane shit like that... I'm just going to let your thread here speak for itself. Dick move in Freeti? Perhaps. I wasn't there, I'm not going to armchair quarterback this one. I would like to believe VD wouldn't have moved in had there been a compelling reason to believe you had control of the camp and were not just trying to "claim it while waiting for your enchanter "friend" to return".

Next time get a sock to poop in, did you not get that memo on this server yet? Then there would have been no question about whether you had control of the camp, this thread would not have been here, and at worst you're out a few socks. Don't use fishnet stockings though... lesson learned on that one, let me tell you.

The only good that has come from this entire situation is that synchronized group shitting has been banned in our guild.
