Riot (server heroes) come to the aid of kittens

Hmm. I was hoping there was a better thread to put this in, since I don't usually drop into these forums anymore, but since this is the latest rant thread about raiding, here's a post about GMs making guilds share raid targets in NToV on Live.

"And what's the deal with suddenly "changing your mind" from Lady M to Eashen right after I pulled every last wyvern in the zone as your CoH hoe Xzion ran past me and started calling all 51 of you up to Eashen's feet? Are you too lazy to leapfrog in style and clear your own mobs now?"

Suddenly? Perhaps if people were willing to work with the original agreement that wouldn't have happened. And hey, Tribl said stop all pulls. If was your choice to continue so don't go bitching about us riding in on your break. Because as we all know getting there is so hard.

Let's start from the beginning...

At this point only Koi and Lady M were up...

[Tue Mar 05 18:35:07 2002] Tribl shouts, 'ok situation will have to be solved like this since GM had you do it before, each raid/guild leader will random roll for me a number I will come tell you, highest roll wins first choice then you can each take what you want next on mob in order'
[Tue Mar 05 18:36:22 2002] Tribl says out of character, 'I will have to solve this, otherwise each guild stays at zone in and you can get a Gm to come here andsettle'
[Tue Mar 05 18:37:33 2002] Tribl says out of character, 'ok Ct gets first choice'
[Tue Mar 05 18:37:52 2002] Tribl says out of character, 'what is first choice?'

I think we did pick lady M at this point and PD picked Koi. For some reason I can't find it in my logs where it was called. Maybe it was sent in a tell.

[Tue Mar 05 18:38:32 2002] Sleestakk says, 'OR SHOULD WE DEMAND a GM and throw a huge STINK CT?'

Slee does sarcasm! Or maybe not since we ended up being delayed another hour for who knows why.

[Tue Mar 05 18:39:43 2002] Tribl says out of character, 'I'll summon you all to zone in if need be or you can evac / egress / succor all here'
[Tue Mar 05 18:40:45 2002] Tribl says out of character, 'Ok, GM time, sorry guys, you do not wish to play nicely with one another'
[Tue Mar 05 18:49:59 2002] Tribl shouts, 'pelase stop all pulls'

Almost an hour later after leaders were talking to another GM some new agreement was reached. Apparently during that time Eashen popped. When presented with the choice we chose Eashen.

[Tue Mar 05 19:45:51 2002] Jhym says out of character, 'CT opts for Eeshan - the next choice is PDs'
[Tue Mar 05 19:46:47 2002] Sleestakk says out of character, 'PD going for Lady M'
[Tue Mar 05 20:00:51 2002] Sleestakk says out of character, 'CT your First Pick was Lady M, sine we are already breaking to Aary... We will take EOTS as our pick'
[Tue Mar 05 20:01:27 2002] Sleestakk says out of character, 'You picked Lady M right in front of the GM '
[Tue Mar 05 20:02:34 2002] Sleestakk says out of character, 'I decided its best we stick with what we started, and not to start changing our minds at will'
[Tue Mar 05 20:02:47 2002] Sleestakk says out of character, 'you had first pick, you made it'

So let's see, EOTS wasn't PDs first pick either. It was Koi since he was the only other dragon up at the time. So it's ok for them to change their mind and not us? I think it's time for our favorite word: Hypocrites.

[Tue Mar 05 21:10:32 2002] You regain some experience from resurrection.
[Tue Mar 05 21:10:32 2002] You are being resurrected...
[Tue Mar 05 21:10:32 2002] LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
[Tue Mar 05 21:10:56 2002] You have entered Temple of Veeshan.

[Tue Mar 05 22:40:36 2002] Pasiphae tells the guild, 'BE READY STICKS'
[Tue Mar 05 22:43:43 2002] You regain some experience from resurrection.

And here we have clear signs of... necrovacing? Apparently so. Although hey, looks like I'm being ressed into ToV from some other zone. Funny, that, considering you have to be in the same zone to be necrovacced. Perhaps I got a TL out t hen a res in just to make it look like I wasn't summoned.

"The only "expense" out of yesterday's ordeal was your own pride and about 5k down the drain in coffin funds. "

Again, why are you guys pulling this out of your asses? We didn't spend anything on coffins as there was no need.

However, I will agree on the pride thing. Losing to Eashen (for whatever reason) is pretty embarassing.
