Regarding Scout and <Savage>

[amandaleigh]

Everyone on the server has been showing up to scout and agreeing to /random on the roll instead of a clickfest. Everyone except <Savage>. It's been a really great time for a lot of us, we all appreciate rolling and making things fair because we all know some of you pricks like to edit your ini files to insta turn in. Probably why you refuse to roll huh?

If I ever see anyone from <Savage> trying to join my group, you will be denied. If I ever see you asking me for a port or a rez, you will be denied. If I ever see you trying to buy my wares in EC, you will be denied. My guild and everyone I've talked to agree, you salty little girls are welcome to play by your own rules. Face the consequences.

[Llaile]

Oh no!

[skarlorn]

awesome

please post screenies of you denying Savage in groups!

[indiscriminate_hater]

sounds like you can't handle their roleplaying OP

how i do app to savage?

[Jimjam]

This is so salacious, I demand fraps!

[Jimjam]

Don't forget you can check guildstatus on anon players with /guildstatus while they are targeted.

Please enlighten Swish ... not like you to take backhanded swipes at the little guys.

<Savage> being hit with sanctions now. Doom will fall upon you now, you non-conforming troglodytes...

You guys should do what Destiny of Zek did on Zek server back in the day.

They made a list of all PKs (player killers that did not abide by player made truces that disallowed random attacks/PVP on the server) and required that to get off the list, the offending player was forced to pay a bounty of plats depending on how bad of an offender the player was to their guild.

The blacklisted PKing player was never able to join any other raid guilds, until they were removed from DoZ's PK list. It was an agreement amongst all the anti-PK guilds. This forced any PK who had any aspirations of raiding on Zek server to have to stop PKing and to pay a huge bounty to get off that list.

That's how you do sanctions against a guild or players you really dislike.

***I did not support this BS, in fact I was a PK that was told I owed 300k to DoZ, if I ever wanted to be off that list. My necro remained a PK till I quit Zek server.

[deezy]

You can help power level their members with that manastone you got minutes before you quit Rustle!

That's a great idea! Thanks for the advise!

Name and shame.

We cannot justly belittle and humiliate <Savage> properly with no names given.

[Spyder73]

Take it a step further. Pack your guild up and come to red. You can either come to an agreement with the said parties involved OR....fight them over a disagreement. You will never counter this sort of behavior on blue.

I am coming to believe that you are a Swish alt

[ErlickBachman]

Can't blame <Savage>. Scout roll is a dumb and non-classic. Its humorous how this agreement exists for Scout Charisa, but not for other mobs. But I guess pixel needing children are going to be pixel needing children.

You know what else isn't classic? Scores of people all trying to do scout at once with 99% of them having better than a 56k modem. Show me some screenshots of that from 2000.

[Canelek]

I'm pretty sure non-dialup connections were becoming getting pretty common in 2000, or at least in civilized areas. That said, classic or not, a roll seems much more "balanced" as to force the rapid-clicker-app folks to level turf.

[Neno]

Oh totally: I had a "high speed" DSL connection that I shared with five other people (several of whom were usually on EQ with me). My shared part of the bandwidth was laughable compared to my current cable connection, but it still beat 56k.

However, a lot more than 1% of the player base was still playing EQ on a 56k back then, so I stand by my claim.

Give it a rest, Loramin. Your argument is that the Scout FTE should change because technology has improved over the last 18 years and your relying on the basis of "Show me screenshots..." and what have you. Which that in itself is counter intuitive of your argument because that improvement of technology allows the commoners and plebs of the yesteryears that were on 56k modems (myself included until Janurary 2002) to race with the neckbeards of yesteryears. The fact is: You can't competitively race due to lack of skill and you feel the urge to have a crusade to, basically, Bernie Sanders the Scout mob.

8964

Once again, gve it a rest. Go outside or become gainfully employed. I don't care either way, but stop stalking me on Scout mob threads. It's both pathetic and creepy.

[ErlickBachman]

@Loramin

[loramin]

You can't competitively race due to lack of skill

Wow, just ... wow. You seriously have the audacity to come here and claim that it takes skill to click your mouse over and over again? Or to make a few settings changes to your software (eg. disabling textures)? Or to use a program like autofire?

If someone's head is so far up their ass they believe that scout takes skill ... nothing I can say could possibly reach up in there, so I won't even try.

Here we go with claims of deleting text files and auto-firing. Please Loramin, tell me more.

[Jimjam]

Since this is in RNF land, where reality is distorted.

I believe an illegal activity is occurring.

Every 10 hours a group of n players are gathering.

Each player contributes 20kPP/N equity in an item to a pot.

The players then have a chance based competition to decide a winner.

If this is not an illegal casino, cooperative or not, then what is?!

[loramin]

Here we go with claims of deleting text files and auto-firing. Please Loramin, tell me more.

So you started out claiming that rolling for scout was terribly un-classic ... until I pointed out the stupidity of that argument (because the scout on P99 is inherently un-classic, and always will be unless you get people back on 56k modems). You lost that argument, so then you argued that Scout required so much skill that poor little old me couldn't possibly handle it ... until I pointed out that there is absolutely no skill involved in Scout. Again, you couldn't respond to that, so now you're trying to argue about ... deleting text files?

Seriously, and I say this as someone who has played on this server for years, and wasted countless hours, not even just in the game, but on the wiki for the game: you care way, way, way too much about how exactly 20 people in an elf simulator get to talk to an imaginary person. I mean, the mental health of most people on this forum isn't all that great, but maybe it's time to take a step back and reassess the energy you're putting in to this?

Someone who throws a temper tantrum over the use of the work "skill," shouldn't try to lecture or inquire about the mental health of another. Which, by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Furthermore, I did address your point about technology, re-read my response to your reply:

You want to talk about me caring "way, way, way too much..." Bruh, you literally said "I say this as someone who has played on this server for years, and wasted countless hours, not even just in the game, but on the wiki for the game," before you wanted to speak about my level of effort in this game. Good job, once again I remind you that you should probably go outside or find gainful employment. In terms of my level of effort, look I don't need a scout mob, and haven't needed one in a LONG time.

Apparently, YOU (http://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Loramin) do (And you should update the signature of your forum profile to actually direct to your magelo profile, since you spend soooo much time on this elf sim, both in-game and out). I'm simply pointing out that its not classic, and the agreement that folks are utilizing is flawed and can be easily exploited without any ramifications other than RnF threads. The classic system, which if people are auto-firing and etc., has ramifications from server staff such as suspensions and bans. And I know the reply you're going to make about having each character agree in chat and what have you, but guess what? If someone doesn't want to agree with the roll, they don't have to, and that'll turn it into a clickfest right there on the spot.

And by "text files," I was implying texture files, which you brought up initially in your reply (Look at the bold print incase you're having trouble):

Wow, just ... wow. You seriously have the audacity to come here and claim that it takes skill to click your mouse over and over again? Or to make a few settings changes to your software (eg. disabling textures)? Or to use a program like autofire?

So in conclusion, Loramin, pull your skirt down. And actually read replies before you go on temper tantrums over the word, "skill."

Very sorry, I thought you were advocating the "no roll click fest" situation where certain players are able to win the turn in without fail every time; please accept my humble apology. I agree, it's bad that a player of that level is eligible for the roll. Perhaps a level requirement is in order.

I mean, I do think the "no roll click fest" is better than the roll, for reasons of ramifications. I don't, however, think its an ideal situation. The problem that is non-classic is that the server is a bottle neck at end game material, such as Scout. It is what it is, I guess.

new player PSA: roll for scout to fund your equipment. play smarter not harder

Trading one players plat/time for another player's time/plat is central to EQ. This is the game where higher level players can convert time to plat by power-leveling or selling acquired gear, or lower-level players can convert time into plat by selling bone chips, potions, or even plat itself (to players farming Ice Giants). Hell, this is a game where you can effectively buy your epic weapon from others (again, trading plat for time).

All we're really talking about here is a player with plat buying slightly better odds of being able to attempt a fight, and lower-level players profiting from it. It sucks for poorer players (like most things in EQ), but they still get one unique advantage here that they don't get anywhere else in EQ: a free kill force.

Compared to (say) a non-AA Shaman who has to farm 100k on their own to get their epic, a scout player having to either take a slightly worse random chance (and getting free player help), or having to pay for a slightly better one (and then provide their own force) just doesn't seem worth worrying about to me.

[trite]

The OP is 100% correct, went to a scout roll once and two of the guys from savage were the only ones holding out. Savage had like 6 people there but two of them wouldn't agree to roll. It sucks for the other 4, because one of them ended up winning the pointless roll.

An awakened guy was wise to savage's ways and denied them by turning in first. The awakened guy let everyone know ahead of time saying something like "don't be naive guys savage is here"..one of the savage guy who didn't agree to roll proceeded to throw a tantrum in ooc and cursed everyone else out.....guys are more <babies> than <savage>

Since scout is a static spawn, can i show up before anyone else and claim her as a camp and kill her instead of doing a turn in? Sort of how Blood Guard likes to claimed enchanter NPC mobs? I think ill do this and fraps it and then petition whoever tries to take my camp.

[ErlickBachman]

[Jimjam]

Whats wrong with mid/low levels winning scout?

For starters they'll get more levels use out of the item ;).

Lowest I seen win was 41 and I was happy to help them with the kill.

If you aren't happy with who won then don't help them. But if you don't help them don't be surprised if the help is thin when you win.

I know it did. Next time stay out of the grown up conversations with the kiddie comments ;)

Good idea. You were just innocently trying to get some XP. The others would not be able to interfere for *any* reason, or it's a petition. Might want to preemptively make a /petition macro to save time.

Saying you are not upset makes you look more upset True, but that brings up an interesting question;

If one is legitimately NOT upset, how do they go about proving to online strangers that they aren't? Or does the urge to prove that automatically mean you're at least somewhat upset? :confused:

If one is legitimately NOT upset, how do they go about proving to online strangers that they aren't? Or does the urge to prove that automatically mean you're at least somewhat upset? :confused:


First off, increasing reply count directly after said accusations generally makes it worse. Also, incoherent babbling, punctuated by 'lol' or 'rofl' make it pretty obvious that homeboy (in the general sense) is upset.

I guess the best way is to selectively ignore comments/people and find some clever shit to type that will divert the general will of the mob onto a different entity and or nerd.

Saying you are not upset makes you look more upset

I know, it's terrible isn't it? I'm not sure how, but I guess I'll just have to find some way to live with the fact that a handful of nerds think I'm riled up over something I'm not actually riled up over.

Loramin, I have to ask. Did you manage to pull your skirt down yet? We don't need you waltzing around EC with that thing poking out.

Dang, a young Kurt Russell. Makes me feel so old.

I mean, you can try to kill her. You may not like the result.

She doesn't look tough at all. I'm sure I could solo her on my torp shaman with full MR gear... hell if i wanted to be a huge dick, i could just run over there on my enchanter claim im camping her, then charm her and send her in on a dragon claiming im reverse charming.

Trust me, theres a million ways to solo this NPC.

you might be aging but you post on elf sim forums like a pixel addicted teenager

:) Why is pixel addiction restricted to teenagers? :mad:

Yeah, I did. I could have left it up, but then I'd have to cast shrink every time I zoned so as to avoid making all of the non-Barbarians/Ogres/Trolls feel insecure.

upset enough to delete your magelo, awkward

The magelo thing was buggy and I had duplicate magelos. An admin fixed it but my signature was still pointing to the duplicate one (it's now fixed).

Loramin, just admit you deleted your magelo in a fit of immense nerd rage. :p

Can't blame <Savage>. Scout roll is a dumb and non-classic. Its humorous how this agreement exists for Scout Charisa, but not for other mobs. But I guess pixel needing children are going to be pixel needing children.



- 100 DKP for saying "Scout" and "Classic" in the same sentence.

And yes, Savage is the scourge of Norrath. Free ports, Free buffs and free rez for everyone NOT tagged in Savage!!!!!

This is true. I had to dig around for a minute to find his actual one.

I don't think he did it out of rage. Just don't apply the word "skill" to anything relating to the Scout clickfest. That causes nerd rage. :p

player-made agreements and guild boycotts: classic.

So that argument is destroyed. Different servers did things differently, too. As long as it's not a GM enforced rule, I don't see the problem here. If enough players agree on a way to do things and shun the pariahs, that's their problem. That's how society works baby!!
