I told him I had been camping it for hours. He said it's his now because I left the PH up for too long. I didn't threaten to petition because my dad raised me to be a good sport.

The camp has 5 spawns you have to clear. 4 were down and only the ph was up. There was still like 5min before the next spawn after the PH so I had some time to med up to ensure that if I got a resist I wouldn't find myself oom or near oom.

Was he being a dick? Or just competing fairly? I don't really care that much either way. I have no problem with people who follow the rules and are honest about it, and that's why I have no problem with Skotos.

But the hypocrisy from Kekephee is really fucking lame. Total 180 degree reversal from his position in that other thread. Chest, on the other hands, was smart enough to stay out of this one. Shows you where the brains are... Chest runs BDA and Chest defines the culture.

Some guilds actively discourage rule fucking because they want to be good citizens that support the server and encourage a friendly community. They seem to be pretty rare in p99 though ...

The Earring of Essence sells for 4k. The Holgresh Elder Beads are going for 30k in EC right now.

My guess is because he doesn't like the horrendous mechanics of PvP on EQ, a game that was not intended to be PvP. What he does enjoy is the nostalga and pixel acquisition.

Do all 200 people from red post on the RnF forums instead of actually playing the game? Maybe swish is just such a loud voice that it feels like all 200 of you.
On a side note, Swish I'm so happy you're trying to convince us that you are developing a real life (travelling, attending social events, and even going to gym!) but to really convince us you're going to have to stop posting to the online elf simulator forums. I think that would be sufficient evidence.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm merely providing a run down of my weekly activities - which reminds me, its Friday and time to update the thread.

Why would I give up posting? Why SHOULD I give up posting? I enjoy it.

BDA uses the rules. They use them publicly. In that PoM thread where Chest stole Nixxar's camp after less than 30 seconds, Kekephee explained that "the margins are tighter at high levels" and that people expect competition.

In a world where BDA can and will steal your camp if you leave for 30 seconds.... you either sack up and give them the same treatment, or you become their bitch.

Last week I was camping the Earring of Essence in Droga and left a gnoll legate placeholder up for around 2 minutes so I could med up enough to kill it without risk. The legate's are the hardest mobs in there and my character is low 50s. I can handle the camp but sometimes my mana runs a bit low because I'm still at a low level.

A 60 druid from BDA came in right at that moment and killed the PH and claimed the camp. Bad luck for me. Good luck for him. I didn't cry, I didn't petition.

A fish rots from the head. Chest sets the example that BDA follows. BDA sees Chest rule-lawyer his way into other people's camps so they learn how to do it.

Now in this thread Kekephee has done a 180... what happened to high levels having tight margins? What happened to expecting competition? Now we should coddle the newbs who can't clear a camp after 45 minutes of failing.

This thread shows how BDA is full of hypocrites. They support their guildmates both ways and fuck everyone else.

true colors

Best post in this thread, and to spin away...far from defending any of it, the BDA posters that followed all decided to make more "we hate Swish" posts because they can't get enough of me.

Rightly so, I've been calling you out on your shitty attitude to the server and the community for months - I have a duty to inform the world via ForumQuest that you're not a guild people should be considering. The guy in the quote has also got the measure of you all with added personal experiences.

As soon as I get the camp a necro, Skoto comes up and starts talking about how we arent clearing the camp, literally 1 min after getting the camp. I tell him I just got done buffing the guy that was there before and I was medding. A few minutes after that he runs in and starts pulling some mobs off the back wall we had not gotten to yet. I ask him why he is KSing us, we were obviously at the camp and killing mobs, and he said we took to long and it was his camp. He is currently pulling from out camp without abandon and it being 5:30 AM there are no GM's responding to petitions. I wanted everyone to know what an outstanding player Skotos is. He refused to tell me his guild, I assume he is either ashamed of it or he does not want people to associate his poor behavior with his guild.

consider red

Well, I will say that I can't blame BDA coming to the aid of their compatriot and forcing me out of my camp, albeit I do think in a measure that was against the rules. I didn't take a camp because I was anon, because I wasn't, but roleplayed so that I didn't have to deal with unsolicited guild invitations being an unguilded 60 necro, Juev.

I will say that I definitely had the PoM RnFs post in mind when I started down this road. I double checked rules regarding camps and mobs being up, etc. to ensure it was a legal course of action. I wouldn't blame BDA or chalk this up to a failure on BDAs part for multiple reasons: Xetho is an admitted new app, so if there is any correlation between being in BDA and being tainted by the guild or guild leader I don't think this is the case; several BDAs member seem to even be split on the reality of this situation, some claiming it was within the rules though dickish and others saying it was against the rules and I'm a terrible person, I am also confused because all I have to go on are server rules and RnFs posts concerning similar issues; "manners maketh man" and I was too immersed and forgot there is another human being with whom I'm competing against and on this server many people play by different rules and understanding of those rules. Regardless, my experiences with BDA players has been positive, outside of this, even though I know full well that the random assortment of players and the inability to really screen personality types from playing the game will ensure that I have a negative experience with a member from every guild over a long enough time. I decided to play the Game of Thrones: Everquest Edition and use what I perceive as in-game rules to flex nuts on two players who legitimately bit off more than they could chew. I wasn't as nice as I should have been, being dictated by good manners, and nicer than I could have been. In the end, I lost out to the truly greater force - guildies and friends.

Nearly a year into game and I finally stepped hard on someone's toes. I have no real problem with Xetho and I'm sorry I forgot the rogue's name in hating me, specifically Xetho because of the differences in our personalities; a nemesis is important in a game with no real end. Anyway, feel free to gloat over your victory, Xetho! You win this time... but maybe not next, you inchoate player!

I'm not interested in any of this but let me just say I mentioned earlier that Skotos is a cool guy and we chatted when I was behind him in line. I'd like to follow up on that to say I'm surprised Skotos isn't already in BDA- here's a thread where he's camp stealing, rule lawyering, and trolling on RnF. He's a perfect fit and I vote yes

Either way you look at it, I'll apologize. Sorry you two BDA members for being a dick and pushing hard into a camp where you were probably just having fun with each other. Regardless whether I was able to get the camp within the rule set, I probably shouldn't.

I officially am eating shit/crow and saying I was wrong.

Pras, man.
