who is the most skiled overall player on red99

[Buhbuh]

Syft, you aren't good at this game.

[Nirgon]

hes not horrible

he has resist gear, doesn't afk, knows when it time to get out of the zone and not wait around for a bard to find him...

its just he is going to constantly fail at the social aspects because he believes people are out to get him, and pretends to be other people (we always find out its him)

all he had to do was keep his bergs under control and work his way up to an aon/rile THEN turn on us and he'd be a little closer to being this mastermind he claims he is

instead he wakes up next to a hog snout in norrath and spends his days getting mad

[Exed]

Lewis is the best pvper on this box. Close thread.. FFS

Tune at 12 for more pvp tips by rmting zerging warm bodies

P.S I play a necro why would care about an aon?

lewis is #1

[Tassador]

Eq is so circumstantial that you have best players for almost every circumstance. I would put myself as best player because in the circumstances of lvl 5 fungi vs nub combat I am undeafeted on this server.

[vouss]

well, you once called vaporize a terrible player in an attempt to troll, but look how often he shit on you/ forced you to die to mobs

was 90% of your encounters with him


are you talking about the same BiS fully buffed warrior I crushed 1v3?

Fuck I look good.. But

Sadly this screenshot just reminds me how long I have been playing this box. And thats in every way depressing..

[Drakaris]

Heartbrand, Rhettiwalk, Terp and 1 shadowed reptile figure took Nizzar and Nihilum out of power

[Drakaris]

Pyrokinetic is on Drakaris status as one of two people who died to my levi-cloakless rogue while levitating. A mistake I dont' think Murda would ever make!

What, in VP 2v1 with jboot speed? Oh ya I remember that... I also remembered how you plugged from Skar on Salem avoiding a HT that burnt my timer as you zoned; relied to zone hopping Drakar in Lguk 3 times and even died to merbs.

All good pal... were on the same team now!

[Cid]

Just because I am bored I will say that I am the most skilled there is at what I do, without question. Helping others may be the antithesis of what most of you seem to think of as skill, but the title of this topic does NOT mention pvp.
I've helped hundreds of people on well over a thousand characters and I doubt more than a handful of people that have played on Red more than a few months have not benefitted in some way from my actions, whether directly or indirectly.
I do not mean that as a boast. I'm no saint nor will I ever call myself a white knight like some people love to do. I enjoy helping people and will continue to do so for as long as I play EQ regardless of what anyone says or does. If I cared about recognition and my ego I probably wouldn't conduct my business in tells but in ooc where everyone could see me helping publicly like some fucking child desperate for the admiration of others. I'm just a fucked up person playing an incredibly old game for personal amusement, and I will never be proud, angry, sad or happy over a game or it would no longer be a game to me.

That being said I am not sure anyone else is capable of, or stupid enough, to do what I do, which makes me the most skilled at it by default. And, if you think you are the best at EQ, I dare you to try it. I could do what you do, can you say the same?

P.S. I don't actually care what anyone thinks and probably will forget this topic exists, but the "unknown error" bullshit isn't letting me get on to help people and this allowed me waste time until I can.

I will vouch for ya pal! I was pretty convinced most of this box was scum after watching ooc for the first few hours until I bumped into this uber nice shaman/druid/necro! OOC was at least 10x worse than it is now and the server was dead, you were lucky to see 1 other new player levelling up that wasn't a twink.

[Colgate]

I could do what you do

no you couldn't

[Cid]

Yes, Colgate, I could. You're nothing more than a shitty ripoff of Nizzar that did practically nothing from classic until Nihilum was disbanded and you picked up the pieces leftover and now strut around like you did everything yourself.
I've created and led a guild before too, one that had a lot more members than Empire does except we recruited people who had never raided before and taught them how to become an efficient raid force that killed through more expansions that P99 will ever have. Plus I made sure that no one was ever treated like shit or used for the benefit of a few people gearing alts.
You're not that fucking special man. Hell, you are not even unique on Red considering what Nizzar did and the situation you took advantage of. The only singular accomplishment you have achieved on Red is winning the BotB in which how many people actually participated? 10 maybe? Yeah, that's really a Best of the Best. Perhaps you will finally be one of a kind when you manage to get your guild disbanded by GMs a second time like the original Holocaust.
You used to talk shit about Nihilum and now you're an emulated Nizzar on an emulated server.

I have more faults than I could possibly list, but at least I have more integrity than ego or greed. Even my RL friend thinks I am fucking stupid for doing what I do, and he's probably right, but I would rather be a good person and a shitty player than vice-versa.

Wow, great post. Preach on brother! Don't pay any attention to Salt he is just angry because he can't read the big words you posted like accomplishment, and participated.

[Tradesonred]

Nizzar was a horrible leader. On a populated server people would have ditched him and his stupid bullying attitude pronto. Same thing with Terp, people endure it because theres not much other options on this low pop server. So its shut up and take it to have access to pixels for some, even sucking up to terrible people for others.

He knew the game, ok.

Yo you good now brah?

[Tradesonred]

Its kinda funny that i consider Max the less worst current leads after picking on him quite a bit on the forums, Lite cant think for the guild, something Nizzar at least did a little. And Terp is Terp, I rarely was witness, through my MMO years, to something as sad as Terp belittling and disrespecting his RL "buddies" with his authoritay while we were playing WoW emu over some trivial shit.

[MEGANS LAW]

I nominate Littlegyno as the most skilled. He has slayed Cazic Thule, god of FEAR, 8 times by himself and looted an Amulet of Necropotence each time off the deity's corpse.

pras him

Can see video games still affecting your <3 and clouding your thoughts. Good luck in future endevours p sure no one cares.

[heartbrand]

I don't think there's a lot of skill to leading the top guild on red99. Whichever guild becomes largest first wins on a small pop server like this. Once that top guild is cemented there's effectively no way to topple them regardless of how inept / mean / bad the leadership is. Nihilum became top dog because Holocaust was banned and there were no other options. Founding fathers intentionally did not want to truly contest to be the #1 guild, and holocaust burnt out after the ban. Since Nihilum was the only option, it was either join and get loot despite how the guild was ran, or quit. Without enough people to recruit and the ability of the top guild to lock down all content easily, there's no way to ever upend the top guild other than GM intervention, or a large % of members revolting, which will just end up with most of the members in a similarly large guild but with a different tag and leader.

This isn't to say that Holocaust's leaders are bad, but you could have Abraham Lincoln/Winston Churchil and Sun Tzu leading Fresh and they still aren't ever becoming the top guild on red99. Most people who join this server want only to quickly experience the end game, get their epic, and then quit shortly after. They have no interest in joining an underdog to slay one faydedar and nagafen every 2 and a half weeks with no chance at ever upgrading their character or experiencing VP or other content. They don't care about the forum drama, who stripped who's character, who challenged who to a backlot MMA fight IRL, who RMT'ed or deleted someone's char, who betrayed this guy or joined some guild they never heard of back in 2011. They just want to right click the dragon corpse that they killed back in 1999 and loot that pixel they probably never got the chance to 15 years ago when they were hiding in the school library during lunch.

There is no "marketplace of ideas" on red99 where a guild with a better vision and charter can organically rise up and win. dealwithit.jpg or play a different game.

you have to be mean to some extent to be a good leader

[heartbrand]

I found nizzar pretty decent pre D3 break, I think he lost his will to play EQ after the break and that's when he started with the RMT and other shit. You could tell he changed.

/duck

[Tradesonred]

Problem to me in retrospect, knowing there was RL cash involved, is I think that he was easily aggravated. He needed employees, not people who wanted to chill playing a game and having fun while learning the game. Just one example was him blowing off at me because I sat at royals where the fault lied with him for not explaining that to me, even though i asked first if there was any particulars i should be aware of before the fight. I then pointed that out to him in french and he grew madder and madder lol, i thought it was amusing for a while but not something i wanted to be around for too long.

[Nirgon]

someone has to crack the whip and be disliked for it

Terp's good for the job and it doesn't get to him

[Tradesonred]

I personally dont mind some whip cracking, if someone is at fault, you told him 3 times, well, you know. Asking for people to step up their game is one thing, being power trippy and on a short fuse, thats something else. I dont care much to go into why i think Terp and Nizzar often fell into the 2nd category.

I enjoyed playing with that chanter (Sharlene i think?) who was pretty good, because he was always pushing it to the limit and it forced me to step up my game as we duo'd some fast xp.

[Pumped]

but you were bad ecoli and you wanted everything handed to you immediately

you are also a fat crybaby

[Tradesonred]

Who are you? (TM)

Anyone whos honest and isnt out to destroy my all important Red99 rep knew i went out of my way to help people i liked. Just one example that embodies how i played EQ, is me not rolling on a hiero cloak because i just got torpor, even though people in the group all told me to roll on it anyway. I was like Nah, im fine, you guys have a nice thing too today.

[Nirgon]

Terp prob best pvp cleric on the box right now and probably always will be

Glad he's bad coppin' at raids, every Velious sized raid guild needs it

[Tradesonred]

Im not saying he doesnt know how to play EQ, im saying he likes cracking that whip too much.

Hilarious example of warranted whip cracking:

That's the last time I read R99 forums before bed. Do you guys even know what it's like to dream about ForumQuest? Shit's weird.

Lots of people couldn't win that botb if they tried a million times

For fucks sake, nothxu beat Nizzar...
