oh wait, i forgot. the red community isn't the problem tho right? i'm sure the staff just sits up on their ivory thrones, making poor decisions to ruin the server, while cackling gleefully about the r99 petition response times.

theres a reason every red staff member has quit or moved over to blue, and spoiler alert, it's not because of the staff.

we'll get a new red guide, and in 3-4 months, you'll have run him off too.

And that's not even going back to a year ago when TMO was pulling the most toxic shit imaginable to win FTE on raid targets those are all recent.

BLUE RAIDING POLICY:

Policy
Mobs are cycled through class assignments as they spawn, either as Class C, Class R, or FFA.


Guilds are classified as either Class "C" (Competitive), or Class "R" (Restricted).
Guilds not listed on this page may kill a mob as it spawns under any of the 3 assignments. Once a guild has successfully killed a mob, they are assigned to that classification which the mob spawned under.


Mob Kills
Class C guilds may kill a Class C or FFA spawned mob at any time. They may not kill a Class R spawned mob.
Class R guilds may kill a Class R, Class C, or FFA mob spawned at any time with the following restrictions:
Successfully killing a mob spawned under Class R puts that guild on lockout for that mob's next two class R spawns.
Successfully killing a mob spawned under Class C advances that guild to Class C automatically.
Exception: Any mob that has been alive longer than 6 hours will be considered FFA, and will not be restricted to Class or Lockouts.
Demotion from Class C to Class R may only be done at the approval of the Server Staff.


Exclusive Mobs
The following mobs are exclusive to Class C: Druushk, Hoshkar, Nexona, Phara Dar, Silverwing, Xygoz
Respawns
On any full server respawn, all guilds are limited to two raid mob kills for 12 hours. This limitation does not apply to mobs that are exclusive to a Class.
Dracoliche spawning with Cazic Thle (including full server respawns) will be considered an FFA non-cycled spawn, unless Cazic is killed first.


Play Nice Policy
Intentional training will be severely disciplined.
Guilds are encouraged to work out disputes among themselves before involving the staff.
All raid mobs provide an "FTE Shout" that show what guild has engaged. Kill stealing will be severely disciplined.
Guilds may not have any more than two representatives present at a raid spawn location.
To encourage competitive racing, guilds may not camp players out in the vicinity of raid targets.
Invulnerability spells used on engagement may only be for mechanic strategies, and may not be used to stall engagement.

You really going to act like blues server population is any less toxic or policing raid rules like that with ten times the playerbase size is easier? I like you Sirken but honestly this server has far less shitty people playing on it. Not even a question.

noone on red is going to give a shit that your a guide, they just want you to be there, its a thankless job, and the moment u start to think you deserve any kind of praise is when you should probably just quit.

just log in ur guide accnt for the boss mobs, make yourself visible, and u will prevent 90% of the servers guild vs guild problems.

Shit, make a bot do it, you don't even need to actually be there, just run a glider/bot that logs in at boss mob fights somewhere in the zone and stand still, literally noone will be able to tell the difference.

what i would bring to the table:

1. over 8 years of emu pvp experience, i've seen it all, i can understand how complex a pvp situation can get between guild and would never "shoot from the hip" in order to solve something, everything would have to have a rigorious process so things get solved properly, gm's making hastily calls (as banning holocaust for doing naggy the same way nihilum did) can easily kill a server.

2. i don't need your your attention, it has come to mind that gm's will get inflated egos by the overwhelming attention they get from e-pusssy on blue, and that makes them skip red. i get my fix elsewhere, i'm ready to dedicate myself to red99, no bluebie attention needed.

3. ability to promote the server, i know what information would be crucial not to leak and what information is whatever, i could easily record a video each week and release "this week on red99" for everyone to enjoy only containing stuff that's actually not making anyone mad because their secret strategy was leaked due to some gm, i know what i'm doing bros, no need to worry i am from the internet.

4. hold interesting pvp events for the players from all walks of life, newbs, high end and in between. (weekends only)

Willing to help here, ball always in your court, can't really judge me until you've seen me do work, talking shit on the forums is one thing, have you ever seen me talk shit in game? Nope. I could easily swich roles becoming a serious and respectable GM

TLDR: let me help?

When i think of all what happened here: my start as a newbie sitting at bandits camp invis and totally alone as one player came and gave me a weapon and armor so i thought this could be a gm until i got stopped playing here by gm decision about my guild Nihilum, totally full raid equipped and thats all in 3 month i don't blame the player here. That was what happened by gm here that destroyed my EQ-life. I am desillusioned and i think there had been missing a professional behavior from gm.

I never used any bot or did anything bad. I am a 52 year old rl woman and i am for sure not part of any toxic population here and i got punished very hard. So that you had a normal player leaving here was not the fault of the player base.

I payed all time like on a normal server und would have liked gms i met there like in rift before they kicked out gms to save money or in other games. I would have paid further for this wonderful game i still appreciate very much. Get paid gms here so that they don't want to be loved by player from the one or the other side. Gms who just do a good job and are not on their own mission here.

The problem with picking a GM from the player base is they are innately biased from the onset and would make all the tin foil hatters go bezerk with theories.

The problem with not picking a player based GM is he(or she) won't have the understanding of what's going on and make bad calls (call in the tin foilers after said bad calls).

Now: If you got an unassociated gm who never showed his face and was an arsehole fgt and banned said known rule breakers the moment they break rules I.e: rmt = goodbye; 1 month suspension across all accounts for training; boxing= goodbye; etc etc

A gm who spends x amount of time weekly/montly looking at the "known" fgts on server I.e once a month checks Sektorz for rmt (coz guy is doing it atm an everyone knows it Mr 400kpp wtb list/vibrating gloves) I.e checks lite/bstagor/x-y-z person for boxing buff toons etc. -Disclaimer: All the above mentioned persons are just an example of suspect people and their crimes - You'd soon find that more then not people will fall in to line a bit better.

You cannot beat a bunch of fgt nerds with a tea party scheme; you have to hit them where it hurts and that is with perma bans and loooooong suspensions.

Then you have people like Aussie/Durebael etc doing CSR work..... Problems solved.

Bind camping isn't even technically against the rules. It is also easily deterred with an LNS call, and if this is violated, it's easy to get the violator banned. I'd rather see Chopper get banned for screen-dragging.

Actually you are wrong. It clearly says it is against the rules twice in the stickied rules thread:

Killing someone over and over again while at his or her bind-point or while they are in the process of looting and scooting is illegal and may result in disciplinary action taken against your account.

Excessive bind point camping (killing a player over and over at their bind point) is against the rules.

I dont like the idea of this simply because of the same reason someone mentioned earlier, Staff taken from the playerbase will be biased...Your telling me if you saw Lite first hand screen dragging or boxing you would ban/suspend your own guild leader?

Everyone is different, there will still be some controversy regardless..the other side will allways cry " bias bias bias" no matter which side the rules will favor with a player GM, it will be alot to deal with.

Sirkin and all these other GMs complain about the red community but that's not the real issue. The issue is the FEW idiots who get under these guys small skin. There are a ton more dickheads on blue then red period.

why should our volunteer staff have to deal with any shit at all from a bunch of ungrateful nerds?

its the constant false accusations, its the entitlement, its the not giving a fuck about the server, its the lack of appreciation for people like zade and aussie and derubael until its too late.

i mean, there's people on red that truly believe repops are in some way related to red server dramas/politics. do u have any idea how crazy that is? i mean, with respect to r99, that server doesn't even pop into rogeans head for a single second when doing repops. earthquake repops only exist due to the raid policy changes on blue that went into place in early 2014. the fact that they also happen on r99 was something we never even considered when discussing it.

red just has an uncanny ability to shit on the only person fighting for them, until theres no one behind the curtain fighting for them anymore. when instead, they should realize how lucky they are to have a person fighting for them at all, and literally line up outside the p99 office building to offer blowjobs to that person.

i mean, theres over 6000 active accounts on blue, and nearly 600 on red. based on that alone, why on earth would r99 would bite the only staff member on their side boggles my mind.

You put in years of work to code an emulator that everyone respects and almost makes every other box unplayable because of how far ahead you are. Then you guys hold onto the code and won't share it with other projects while not properly running the server you do have open. It's nuts. It is sad that a player has to choose between a well coded server and GMs that actually care and are present. The PvP community would almost be better off if the server didn't exist. Best case scenario would be let someone interested in PvP run this box instead of having someone neglect it that hates their own server.

I get the whole volunteer and entitled deal but putting in all that work to create a server and then not actively running it just cockblocks the community from having a server developed by someone who cares.

I know you have no control over this and are just trying your best with what you are given but having a server as good as red99 with no GMs is a giant troll.

Who is in charge of appointing guides though? There needs to be someone in charge of hiring other GMs/Guides that only works on Red99. I don't think this person exists. We are talking about wanting to hire guides and there is no one in power to hire guides that cares. Right now don't you need 1-2 people that don't care about the server to meet and agree on an applicant for something to happen?

Not sure why the staff is shocked that people generally act worse to one and other on a server they are allowed to kill each other.

And of course the volume of petitions per capita is going to be double or triple, because there are far more things to petition about.

Also, it should come as no surprise that you have 10% of the active accounts but about 20-25% of the people logged at any given time...PVP servers tend to have more die hards.

I've been very supportive of the staff, but if you're surprised in any way by how people act, the server population, the volume of petitions, etc...I don't know what to say. You should have known this going in.

I can't imagine there is any shortage of people waiting in line to be staff even on R99. I understand you want to be very selective about who is allowed to have any sort of power. But at this point, you either need to make this place SZ rules or get people in here to enforce the rules as they are. Despite being a very bumpy road in the beginning, I think the server has embraced the PNP rules that were put in place. This is a great example of someone in a position of power on the server deciding to invest some time and make the server a better place.

I've been playing on R99 for well over a year now, and in that time I've seen one patch of any significance that contained PVP specific changes. There is a laundry list of minor and major things that need fixing. We have no dedicated dev (again, no shortage of people willing to do this), no dedicated CSRs and as you said, Rogean could give two flying fucks about R99.

Tell me again why I should ever bother logging in again? You can blame the players all you want, and we no doubt need to shoulder a good portion of the blame. But you can't put it all on us. If CSRs are burning out, bring some in and put them on a rotation so they can take a break on blue before their next tour of duty. Maybe get Rogean to give a shit about R99 for a few minutes and dedicate some resources to fixing things and making the server a better experience.

Or fuck it, if no staff wants to deal with us, no developers want to code for us and the person who runs the whole emu doesn't give a crap about the server he built for us then offer R99 to P99 character transfers and burn this fucker to the ground.

alot of the problem is upper management, unwilling to admit what they have in red is not classic, and will never be classic, so they are unwilling to change the rules.

so what you have is GM's and guides like sirken enforcing a rulebase that actually works throughout the month, and then you have the people that own and run the project showing up every 6 months, getting mad its not being run the way they want it.

Lets be honest here, its not the players that is burning you out, its the high standards you are being held to on an impossibly low standard server.

the bar doesn't need to be lowered, the written rules need to be adjusted to what middle management (sirken/deru/guides) are already practicing.

I think we all know what im talking about here.

edit: just reread what i posted and realized probably noone knows, basically noone wants to GM red, or install guides for red because they would have to follow a certain rule book and enforce those rules, noone wants to do that because in order for red to even work certain rules need to be bent. if you don't know what that means just look within eachothers guilds that you know is wrong and then you will understand what im talking about. I won't mention it openly but the entirety of one guilds whole port/cleric side is all boxed.

And guess what, thats fine, cause kids.. thats the only way its working here right now.

if its really shitty people. here is your plan of attack

stage 1, GM presence, (stop moderating ooc, for fucks sake, just watch it, and wait for people being dicks, it will happen, once identifying dicks, show up, stare at them intently, at this point they will either camp out or say sorry)

problem solved for 90% of the server issues.

stage 2 : this is were your monitoring comes in handy, also your server presence, so you been on the server for a whole week, 8 hours a day, shit almost half of what i play, but that should be more than enough to have found out who's being a cock sucker and fucking up the community you GM for.

you're going to like this part, believe it or not, you still dont even have to ban these people. this is were you /tell <name> hello this is GM agatha, im here to inform you that i have been evaluating your behavior for the past week, your actions have been deemed toxic to the atmosphere and you will be punished if i observe you one more time doing so.

problems solved for 98% of the server

stage 3: ok so you have managed to guide this server for a month, you have enough presence on this server and monitoring of YT and whats going on to know for certainty who your problem makers are, the 2%, you have informed them to stop and they havn't.

no suspension, nothing, just a straight ban, boom 100% of your problems solved.

mistmoore twinks. cb twinks, lvl 54 druids porting around to all the cloth casters leveling up.... shits a joke, GM's need to get involved in that aswell.

Things I remain unsure about:

1. why the respectable community members have to suffer because of the shit bags.
2. why there aren't more in game punishments for behavior on boards
3. why the staff does not name and shame people who do things like this, you're using a VERY broad stroke labeling the community
4. why ban decisions would have to go through anyone other than Sirken/Derubael
5. why Sirken/Derubael can't immediately ban people who treat the volunteer staff poorly or do not listen to their directions. I remember the open defiance of Nizzar when he was told to move his bind from permafrost, why the hell should telling you guys no even cross his mind? Players should be scared shitless of doing something like this. Clearly some kind of precedent was set that this kind of thing was something you could get away with(??!?!?!).

I'm not bolding "why" to be condescending. I'm not bolding "why" to sharpen my tone or the words used. I'm doing it to point out that I'm aware of the fact that these things are currently the case but the reasons behind them are still unclear and the situation does not make sense that respectable, dedicated and knowledgeable VOLUNTEER staff members should have to take any kind of shit from people whatsoever.

Currently you have a system where people can brow beat or otherwise grief the staff off the server and then respectable players in the community afterwards. How the heck is that a working system? What is in the way of revising that? Really if you think of it, the staff and community end up being at the mercy of extremely toxic individuals instead of the staff. I know that's not what the GMs/guides I've talked to want and I know for certain that's not how it worked when I played on live. Instead of blaming you which some people will do as a knee jerk reaction (and because GM is right over your name on the boards and we look to you for help), please point us to the door to go pound on so we can ask them to stop tying your hands.

You know I'm in your corner (Sirk/Deru) and have always stood for a fairly enforced and classic server. I would hope the rest of the community reads something like "people are treating the guides like shit and they leave" and come forth with nothing less than outrage against the people causing it. Honestly, who would be against suspensions then bans for people who mistreat the staff?

PS: There is no way that you'd rather deal with class R/class C and who had what class where in the zone and the rule lawyering/LIES that go along with it over... anything else.

lets just be real about what is really burning these guys out.

Boxing will never be legal on this server. I don't agree that guides aren't signing up because they don't agree with server rules. I think the problem is that no major decisions get made up top so no one ever gets appointed.

The current state of the server is that it has strict rules on what will get you banned with no one to enforce them. So you have people following the rules and dealing with others breaking them paired with random bans that seem to sweep the server maybe once a year. The bans hit a very small percentage of the people breaking the rules and then the conspiracy theories start coming out giving the community the feeling that things are not being done fairly.

You either have a no rules server or you have someone online to enforce the rules and vision the GMs have. Being stuck in the middle is not good.

<3
Sirks

That has nothing to do with us. If a GM was appointed that cannot handle life on red than he was an inadequate choice for a GM.

When choosing a volunteer firefighter being around fire comes as part of the job. Volunteers are forced each day to do things that are taxing and hard yet must perform they're duties or they are removed. Any server where players are forced to fight each other daily will have more friction than a server where cooperation is the key component for winning. Player's being mean to you is not an acceptable excuse for failing in your duties when you applied for a position(volunteer or not) that revolves around customer service.

Leaving a server errant with no GM assistance is not an acceptable solution regardless of what the perceived reason is for it being so. If another Gm is chosen that cannot handle red then they were simply poorly picked.

why should our volunteer staff have to deal with any shit at all from a bunch of ungrateful nerds?

its the constant false accusations, its the entitlement, its the not giving a fuck about the server, its the lack of appreciation for people like zade and aussie and derubael until its too late.

i mean, there's people on red that truly believe repops are in some way related to red server dramas/politics. do u have any idea how crazy that is? i mean, with respect to r99, that server doesn't even pop into rogeans head for a single second when doing repops. earthquake repops only exist due to the raid policy changes on blue that went into place in early 2014. the fact that they also happen on r99 was something we never even considered when discussing it.

You also find out he has been telling the homeless that come to that distribution center that he does not have to do a good job managing the center, because he is unpaid, and he does not care about dirty homeless people.

Do you continue to let him volunteer?

Exactly, I'm sorry but applying and volunteering for a position, and then not performing the duties entitled in "said position" with merely the excuse of "I'm not getting paid" would not be tolerated in any other volunteer position in the world.

Fighting fire's, and feeding the homeless are not glamorous jobs with many rewards. If i knew a girl who kept dating assholes over and over again at what point do I stop blaming the assholes and start blaming the girl for picking the wrong guy everytime. If you have a stack of guide applications and the ones picked can never do they're job on red without quiting, maybe it's because the wrong applications keep being picked.

But I think it's pointless to play the blame game, the result is still the same, we have a server with allot of rules and none of which can be enforced. Maybe we can stop pointing fingers and look for a meaningful solution.

Logically there are only two solutions, hire more GM's or Remove all rules. Selectively enforcing rules is worse than having none at all. It punishes the people who follow the rules, while allowing people who don't to repeatedly offend.

Can't agree more.

As I have said in other posts, we all know that of the 600 "active accounts" on red, probably 400 of them have offered to be guides, simply because most of the p99 populace is sick in the head about EQ.

My expectation would be some defense that "most of those people have connections they could not overlook to current players on the server... blah blah.. conflict of interests... blah.."; but I would further guess that many of these players put a guide app in before they established and actually played with people on red, again because these people are sick in the head about EQ.

Of the random assortment of guides over the years that have been selected from the pool of applicants, they all have had unprofessional customer service skills; either by chance, or as a consequence of the selective criteria.

Stop trying to have mail carriers fight fires.

GM's should have taken more severe stance on training early on. Every single time someone trained, regardless of the severity and impact it was always a 1 week suspension that gradually escalated each time you did it. It meant absolute shit...

You trained 1 group, 1 week suspension. You trained a massive 40v40 raid costing 40 people 3 hours + of their time... one toon gets a 1 week suspension. It got to the point where one toon taking a week suspension meant absolute shit, ad following the rules was just not logical towards the advancement of the guild.

someone called someone else's mom a "super ****** drunk lover", 1 week suspension.....

we are clearly the scummiest society around and the way actions were being punished did not reflect on a staff that understood how to properly penalize us.

For example... the first time we beat Nihilum over Draco.. Nizzar trained the shit out of Fear on us,causing us to lose the battle. It was documented .... he got a 1 week suspension. that was it... No draco gear turned over, No raid suspensions.. Some events are far more meaningful than others and the server needs a GM in tune with what's going on and what means what.

Things I remain unsure about:

1. why the respectable community members have to suffer because of the shit bags.
2. why there aren't more in game punishments for behavior on boards
3. why the staff does not name and shame people who do things like this, you're using a VERY broad stroke labeling the community
4. why ban decisions would have to go through anyone other than Sirken/Derubael
5. why Sirken/Derubael can't immediately ban people who treat the volunteer staff poorly or do not listen to their directions. I remember the open defiance of Nizzar when he was told to move his bind from permafrost, why the hell should telling you guys no even cross his mind? Players should be scared shitless of doing something like this. Clearly some kind of precedent was set that this kind of thing was something you could get away with(??!?!?!).

I'm not bolding "why" to be condescending. I'm not bolding "why" to sharpen my tone or the words used. I'm doing it to point out that I'm aware of the fact that these things are currently the case but the reasons behind them are still unclear and the situation does not make sense that respectable, dedicated and knowledgeable VOLUNTEER staff members should have to take any kind of shit from people whatsoever.

Currently you have a system where people can brow beat or otherwise grief the staff off the server and then respectable players in the community afterwards. How the heck is that a working system? What is in the way of revising that? Really if you think of it, the staff and community end up being at the mercy of extremely toxic individuals instead of the staff. I know that's not what the GMs/guides I've talked to want and I know for certain that's not how it worked when I played on live. Instead of blaming you which some people will do as a knee jerk reaction (and because GM is right over your name on the boards and we look to you for help), please point us to the door to go pound on so we can ask them to stop tying your hands.

You know I'm in your corner (Sirk/Deru) and have always stood for a fairly enforced and classic server. I would hope the rest of the community reads something like "people are treating the guides like shit and they leave" and come forth with nothing less than outrage against the people causing it. Honestly, who would be against suspensions then bans for people who mistreat the staff?

PS: There is no way that you'd rather deal with class R/class C and who had what class where in the zone and the rule lawyering/LIES that go along with it over... anything else.

Well put.

Why is it so hard for people to not be a dick-blistering faggot?

We opened a steakhouse called Prime 99 Rare, we thought it was clever and called it p99 red for short. We hired some of the industries top chefs and well trained service staff.

We did well at first, lots of people liked our take on classic steakhouse dining. You got to pick which cow your steak came from; the meat was all tagged with yellow text labels of the name of the cow and the ranch it came from.

But then the problems started.

We started getting a lot of complaints. First it was the service, then it was the product, and it ended up with how we managed the entire restaurant.

We kept having chef's and server's quit, the turnover was insane. They would tell us how our customers were so unreasonable, illogical, and had high expectations. We would replace them each time only to have the new candidates say the same and walk out.

So we figured it HAD TO BE THE CUSTOMERS FAULT. They were the common denominator in this equation.

So we continued on and on and on believing it was them not us. Our investors pulled out and we went under.

I guess training lowbie grps is bad and they have no way to combat it, but raid training... please, every pvp fight has trains, every one will - sometimes it's accidental, other times it's just some guy running into mobs as he dies to try to leash a few on his killer.

I mean how far do you take it - someone accidentally agro's a mob in POH he's suppose dto run off and solo that mob or die to it if he's a melee?

Guild wide punishments needed to happen so long ago

Suspensions from specific NPC's. Suspend known toons people would use alternatively.. .AKA u suspended Nizzar. .. u also suspended jizzar ect... Everything was so inconsequential ... Someone's train caused another guild to lose the mob ? Give the guild the gear afterwards and suspend the trainers from said event for x weeks...

shit like that would have gone a long way so long ago, but it was always suspending 1 toon for 1 week. There was literally no good reason to follow the rules when taking the punishment into account. It was more detrimental to not train, ect, than to lose a toon for a week.

People wouldn't be playing here, let alone posting their ideas to hopefully make the server better, if they were ungrateful. This isn't even about their (GM) contributions, which are vast; it's about altering the way they already do things because of their limited resources.

If they set a very clear precedent for dummies that break the rules, do you think people will continue breaking them? No.

Oh man. It's an awesome movie I would highly suggest watching it.

Skip the US remake, the Korean movie is a cult classic.

you cant ban permanently here

box at steady 100-200

start banhammering and you get pop at 50

solid attempt tho

no, we can ban permanently. either ppl stop being shitheads (make their alt their new main) - or they get off the server in a mad huff and never play again. either way is a positive.

maybe after 6 months or a year of being permabanned and playing an alt and being "good" they could petition to have their old toon restored. sounds reasonable to me.


of course the infraction would have to be worth it. being a shithead (training, griefing newbs, repeated toxic posts/ooc) is the worst thing for this server, because it stifles population and growth. IMO, 2 boxing and even RMT aren't even as bad as just straight up being a dick to newbs/casuals. normal ppl (those with jobs, a family, social life, etc. - the normals you actually want on the server so it isnt a cesspool) come here and say ".... do i really want to be surrounded by assholes in what precious free time I have? should I invest in a future here?" after encountering enough dicks, the answer is no.

in a perfect world we'd have community leaders that could manage this on their own. imagine if you lite powered gongshow and some other random slosh or flowers moran got in teamspeak once a week, with the overall community as the number one goal for that meeting, and acted on in game and forum behavior from your members that was detrimental to the community and actively held them accountable and disciplined.

you know, i actually talked to lite the first week holocaust was formed, said we should do this, he said yeah man sure that sounds good every time, then on sunday before and pvp i followed up and said "hey dude, let's push the timers back a few hours so we can have some decent pvp over it, we have 7 people online atm" and he said "dude no, this is probably the best time to raid.."

so i tried again the next week, talked to powered, coat, and salem in teamspeak for like an hour one night about moving timers around, they all said "no why should we help out these faggots that were in nihilum, we have no sympathy for them, fuck them" so basically every single thing i requested was rejected, and azrael continued raiding at shitty times, i think the only thing that came out of it was CT was pushed to monday a few weeks later which would have happened naturally anyway

so then i tried making a post on the forums highlighting all the things we should do as leaders to make the server less retarded, more casual, more fun, etc., and got told that holocaust wasn't a guild they took seriously and that until we recruit and contest they give zero fucks about what we wanted

in theory what we have/had in mind was great, but most people simply just want to win everything and have no interest in cooperating

Hrm maybe they'd take you for a dev position but not GM. But they don't like giving ppl access to the code really so.. maybe not.

When the last patch for beta was done, I looked through all the change logs to come up with some highlights. Been doin a lot of changes. A very large effort was done on issues that cause item loss. The purpose of that was to free up the majority of time wasted by CSR. So they can deal with things that matter more to the masses.

Sometimes I try to see how many little fixes I can do, just to give Rogean a headach looking through all my change logs.

When life permits, coding is my de-stress tool.

think he just got too busy with RL for long enough (moved, got a new job i think?). did a lot of great things for the server. his contributions will live on, and I hope he gets back to enjoy the server sometime.

thread starts with a plea to GMs to come to server. pages upon pages of pleas, ppl saying "we need help.. not enough GMs, please help us!" GMs pay attention and respond..

ends with someone telling them to "stay the fuck out."

STOP MAKING RED STAFF QUIT (see i can caps lock too)

oh wait, i forgot. the red community isn't the problem tho right? i'm sure the staff just sits up on their ivory thrones, making poor decisions to ruin the server, while cackling gleefully about the r99 petition response times.

theres a reason every red staff member has quit or moved over to blue, and spoiler alert, it's not because of the staff.

we'll get a new red guide, and in 3-4 months, you'll have run him off too.

Video is a setup (guy knew what it was going into it, the using of ipecac and throwing up everywhere is real, he just knew he was going to be 'approached randomly' before they started filming). It's part of a series of 'failed' reality TV shows, but everything is staged.

One of them involves paying a guy to 'shit his pants' while on a blind date.
