We had people coming in and out, so that was helpful, and then the druid (he toggled between 3 and 4) had a friend come, so spawn to spawn I did not know if we would have enough. Thanks to all of those before and after me.

Glimrock? Yah that guy is super selfish. Word is that he's at the #1 spot right now, and he's still refusing to touch the mob to "preserve his faction" lol.

Honestly, I think he should be petitioned, GM should watch for a couple cycles, and then GM should drag him away from the camp to pull him out of the list.

Much agreed, yes it was him. I felt bad and let him leach until the last few hours, group members were so fed up with him. So I finally kicked him tonight. I think i kept him in there thinking that when he got to #2 he would help, and I was too tired to deal. But, even in #2 he would not help. The druid said, what if I refuse to help you? And he said, well I can't kill it by myself. I do not understand his logic, but yes, pure selfishness. His inaction did not look favorably upon him.

Not sure much can be done, it's the way it was designed and working as intended. However after experiencing this kind of camp and list, I would prefer if the list members needed to be participants. Not sure how it could be implemented.

That's just pure sociopathy right there, it sounds like. Total inability to see things from other peoples' point of view.

So do you have to shit in less than 6 minutes to avoid missing an afk check at this camp? I heard the afk check can be as short as 6 minute intervals.

yeah, brand new pack of poopsocks each time.

Kidding.

No, you just need to press the button before the next one pops which is 6-12 mins. I had a timer set for 8 mins. Some had their timer set for 10.

Clicking the button not a big deal. The psychological duress of did I get it in time? Did I miss it? Constantly typing /list was the anxiety catalyst.

Preferably the moment EE pops

Success, I rec'd my manastone this evening.

Congratulations. I'm glad you made it through.

All in all, I went from #10 to #1 spot in about 2 days and 22 hours. In that time, was about 5 stones, first one being shortly after I arrives, and ending with my drop. The rest of the spots were due to missed afk checks etc.

So you were there 70 hours total. And you say during those 70 hours, 5 manastones dropped; so during that segment of time, it was an average of 14 hours per stone. That sounds pretty standard from what I've read and seen.

This guy was willing to risk his chance at a manastone to preserve live frog faction? That seems like a wacky prioritization.

In fact, it's so unreasonable it makes me suspicious. Is there another reason this guy didn't want to participate in fights or even become KOS? Was he playing another server at the same time? Watching remotely with some software so all he could do was click boxes and not actually play the game? Perhaps GMs ought to look at this guy.

[bubur]

its wacky for sure, but that whole area sans 1 basilisk and 1 undead frog right at the liveside entrance are all on live frog faction, including the minotaurs and EE himself

if the cleric has long-term plans to camp the manastone every week, i guess that would be motivation enough to maintain faction

a couple of cloudy pots would suffice at getting to the camp though. no real need for faction in that hypothetical

[Videri]

Exactly, bubur. Spend 100p on cloudy potions so you can get a priceless manastone on a cleric? Yes. Risk your own and others' place on the manastone list so you don't have to use invis to get into Lower Guk? Ridiculous.

And I do hope, for his sake and everyone else's, that this guy doesn't get on the manastone list over and over again without helping kill a single mob.
