View Full Version : Awakened 30 day

Random scenerio, if Guild A has conceded say Dagarn and Guild B trains the piss out of them at zone in (with no other competition at zone in) should Guild B concede Dagarn??
sounds like GuildA should have been more aware of a potential pull coming to the zone in and taken precautions if things did not go as planned for GuildB. Why sit on train tracks when you know the schedule of the trains unless you are looking to sue, you feel?

That's what you have asked several times now and i have answered.. NO, NO ONE talked/explained anything at all.. the only thing that was said was in OOC "we concede feshlak"
nothing more, and no explanations/apologies, nothing, hence the petition.
Soooo do you want them to get you a gift card to target or something? They obviously accidentally trained you with a dragon and conceded it as a result. And then you killed the mob you were going after. Where is the part where it makes sense to submit a petition?

They needed a hand written apology from OPmeter delivered to the emails ( must not hit their spam folder or it doesnt count ) in addition to singing telegrams to each member that died sung in their correct native languages.
This is pretty fucked up lol 30 days for an accident?
Pretty light sentence for willful negligence I'd say. Waiting to see who gets the first 60-day.

Culkasi, you absolute mentally deficient brainlet, I adore how naive you are and it puts a smile on my face to see you here defending what you know to be absolutely riddled with greed. Congratulations, you've gotten half of the competition banned for 30 days. Oh boy, I hope this means the reckoning has finally occurred and your ridiculous little alliance can sit at the big boy table and maybe get a new pair of shoes for your level 59 main. Watching you perform these mental gymnastics here in front of everyone is the cutest thing I've seen all week. If you think, even for a femtosecond, that getting Awakened banned for 30 days is going to equal anything for you or your guild other than increased hostility between you and the actual raiding guilds on this server, I truly admire your mental dexterity. Great job, my friend, you've just made it so about 100 people can't enjoy raiding for a month so that your goofy ass guild alliance can get absolutely shit on by one guild instead of two for a change. I would sooner vote to merge A/A and defy you even the most humble of pixels than share ToV with you once a week. Seeing you come here and proclaim how you and your guild have been victimized time and time again by the horrible powers that be, it's powerful. I'm sure that in the end, A/A will just have to sit down and negotiate with you the way you want.

Thats an option or Guild B could own their fuck up on an uncontested mob. Wouldn't be unreasonable for Guild A to hangout at zone in while the rest of the zone was in window right?
Yes reasonable of course, but its a risk that GuildA is taking knowing that they cannot properly 'deal' ( train away, kill it, or manipulate it in anyway ) with the conceded mob should GuildB have some trouble with it. Puts GuildA in such an awkward spot that shit could negatively affect them if an unexpected issue occurs. Sometimes its best to just be cautious and not be in harms way when there looks to be something harmful manifesting right next to you.

No, they are put in jail for manslaughter.
Ignorance is not a reasonable excuse. Regardless of whether or not a puller know theres a major fight going on, they are responsible for being cautious about an incoming pull they have when they know for a fact there are people there.

no we don't ... like i have stated multiple times. we got ZIP, NOTHING, NO communication at all from you guys, and at the time it looked fishy as fuck, so yes petition that shit.

because it looked like they did train us with a mob that we were not after, and were logging out themselves while fesh FTE'ed us at the zone in. so no, wasn't 'obvious' at all, but quite the opposite.
Thanks for confirmation. So you did kill it. Great.
yes we did, that has nothing at all to do with the petition or this thread, learn how to read pls. we didnt petition anything about the eashen kill, we petitioned because of the feshlak dump on us interfering with our eashen attempt. thanks. flame fail, nothing confirmed.
No, they are put in jail for manslaughter.

p99 i present to you the truest symptoms of pixel lust
when this is the default mindset you are in, where you think most people share your crazy world view, your lust has nearly peaked
it is essential in this time to try and distance yourself from pixels and pixel triggers to maintain any hope of rehabilitation
P99 I present to you the 'high road' argument. Anytime someone takes 'the high road' on you, you know it's because they have absolutely no other choice and your words left a mark.
But I have learned long ago that dialogue with A/A leadership leads to nothing ...
Actually, the rigidity is with you, not these other guilds. You think the server should be one way, when it clearly is not. You're on the wrong server and it's amusing you still don't realize it after all these years.
This move you made is spineless, although I can't say I am surprised given how you acted during the rotation days.
I mean, when CSG is in there, you could also just go and kill another of the 30 mobs you are killing that week and let us learn how to play better, and have some good casual fun wtih our friends, instead of killing your 461th golem and selling another Soul Leech for MQ plats?
Europa is the oldest active guild on P99 since my former guild Divinity left for Agnarr. You need even more time since 2009 to learn to play better?

You guys realize if we root em then that means nobody will do anything until every dragon spawns unless they get rid of that rule for tov. Then when every dragon spawns it will be a coth fest for tanks and clerics and there will still be trains. Probably even worse trains than before. The problem isn't the raid target getting trained it's the trash that gets thrown around so people can get a clean engage. Rooting them would cause way more headaches for staff.

It is not your place to question the god emperors of p99.
Sirken said in his suspension post that because the rules say "you aren't allowed to hinder another guild on a mob you've conceded" and Awakened accidentally cost CSG one hour on a Saturday afternoon, all 100+ players in Awakened now get to eat the harshest penalty in the history of Velious. 30 days with no ability to play the only portion of the game that they play. Serves the scum right.

People focus so much on the big 30 day, that they forget its trailing a recent 20 day, several 10 days, any XX many other petitioned things...
Its not like someone just stole a piece of gum from a corner shop and got 30 years in jail.
Yes reasonable of course, but its a risk that GuildB is taking knowing that they cannot properly 'deal' ( distract, bribe, or otherwise neutralize in anyway ) with the server staff should GuildA actually petition their shit move. Puts GuildB in such an awkward spot that they could actually eat a 30-day raid ban when caught out behaving like arrogant self-entitled twats.

As I have been saying, the server mentality is a shoot first, ask forgiveness later thing. This causes a lot of the problems as people prefer to, say, KS something first juuuuust in case their spell had actually landed that 0.00001 second prior to the other person. And the other person who landed spell at the same time also decides to KS first instead of asking them about it because its easier to already have loot and argue about it than not.
People should just genuinely care more about how their actions impact others. Tough concept, I know.
While it has (usually) been different people causing the guild suspensions, there is still the fact that somehow they are all drawn to only 1, 2, or 3 guilds all the time.

As an outside observer here is what I can comment on.
CSG needs to recognize they are a top level guild contesting end game content. You are not casual if you are contesting mobs in NToV. Paradox was casual, Dawn Believers is casual, you are not. Recognize that because it is holding you back, if you want instances content then go to Agnarr. Many of my friends are having a great time there and luclin just came out. You can't play the casual card anymore, let's be honest.
On the other hand A/A need to also acknowledge this and include them on their rotation along with the PS/Kitten alliance and BG/Ano alliance (which it seems to some extent they do) and even the up and coming Ven/TSS alliance. They don't have the experience of the seasoned A teams but they have had more and more of a presence in ToV and they want their shot too. A/A will eat more long term bans over careless stuff like this as time progresses and these other "b" guilds begin to step up their game. Better to just agree to put certain targets on rotation now and get it once or twice a month rather than continue to cycle your bans and only be able to play for 6 months out of the year.
Furthermore, play nice. Guilds need diplomats, not raging wyverens rampaging each other. If your guild leader/officers can't hold an adult conversation about what happened then you need to begin delegating negotiations to players who can (It helps your guild image and improves recruitment in the long run).
Also, WTOV Friday get some!

csg petitions aw
aw gets suspended for 30 days despite conceding the mob and following server rules
situation 2:
aw and csg contesting CT in fearplane
csg wipes to CT then kites CT for 10+ minutes while they CR
aw asks for concession due to stall/kite
csg says go fuck yourself, kills CT
aw petitions, gets told basically "csg didn't know any better" despite violating one of the only truly clear raid rules
csg made up of some of the oldest guilds on the server, led by players who have been here for years

aw accidentally trains csg due to miscommunication
aw immediately concedes, admits mistake, helps csg recover
csg kills their original mob + the conceded mob
csg petitions aw
aw gets suspended for 30 days despite conceding the mob and following server rules
No one has been able to explain how the fuck the above situation could happen and be followed by a suspension. Awakened does what Sirken wants and does everything in our power to resolve the situation, Conceding any and all dragons involved (along with others that may of popped during their recovery) And CSG were allowed to petition this?
Neither A/A would of petitioned this situation and that has to tell you alot about CSG.
that is because the above did not happen. CSG didn't get help CR'ing from Awa, we killed our original mob that is it, we didn't kill original mob + conceded mob because they are one and the same (eashen) we didn't do anything with fesh. again, learn to read.

yes we got eashen only because another guild also conceded after A/A did becaue they failed a pull and trained a whole bunch of people on CR, or we would not have. and no we didn't have a chance at fesh because we got trained with him, and he wiped us out, and AM killed it easily after you guys conceded and half the zone was dead. so no, not a chance in hell at fesh lol.

playing a pickup game of basketball on the playground after team practice, one of the kids has downs syndrome. we are all civilized gentleman, its 2018, u gotta let him participate. why not.
he fucks everything up, breaks all the rules, double dribbles, fouls constantly, drools on everbody, with incoherent excited moaning. hes never done this before. god bless his gentle heart, poor soul.
during the awkward and bizarre pickup game, you accidentally bump him with just enough force to knock him to the ground. he slams the ground with a deafening autistic screech, twitches violently for a moment, then is completely still.
then all is quiet... you could hear a pin drop. you could cut the silence with a knife. in agonizing slow motion, you gaze up from the kid - all eyes are on you, piercing your very soul through the window of your dumbfounded look. the faces are a confused, intense cacophony of extreme rage, sorrow, and utter shock.
after what feels like an eternity, the soccer mom mother of the child, who knows nothing about basketball, stands up abruptly and begins the fiercest, most estrogen charged mamma bear social justice tongue lashing youve ever heard. everyones mouths fall agape. she charges towards you, red faced, hot and bothered screaming. the basketball coach/cuckold husband tries to restrain her gently and grabs her upper arm. big. mistake. you see her slap the taste of his mouse, shouting incoherently into his faces he apologizes profusely, and submissively. as the spectical is momentary shifted away from you, you take this opportunity to slink away.

So they could not be punished because they did not get to kill the mob. I remember even joking about that you can try murder someone as much as you want, as long as you miss all the shots its FINE!

Some folks just don’t understand that if every single player in A/A deleted there characters and walked away for good that the end game would be exactly the same with 2 new top guilds competing.
It’s how this server works.
A similar example is ‘first past the post’ election rules that create two party systems. Guilds and parties merge just the same.
This is horseshit. The reason these two specific guilds are at the top is because they each have a dozen or less sick fucks that make eq their life. These individuals are the same guys that have been doing the same shit for years under different guilds tags, and will continue to do it because they have nothing else better to do. If you got rid of every single one of them the server would be a better place. Yes, there will be new top guilds, but without those AA guys joining new guilds the raid scene will be moderately healthier. There's a reason you don't see all the other guilds "competing"... because all the worst offenders are in AA and nobody else is willing to get down to their level of insanity. The other guilds aren't going to magically start being infected with the same pixel lust as AA or else their members would have already joined them. Purge them all I say, this 30 day is a good start.
If you guys can't find other ways to find enjoyment on eq for 30 days then I don't know what to tell you. Go play around and have fun with all of those shiny armors and weapons. What's the point of logging in hundreds of hours of raiding just to upgrade your next item, but never use said items to go and have fun killing stuff around norrath that doesn't require a bat phone.

However, that doesn't explain the other 600, who happened to show up the moment the one guild monopoly dissolved. What does explain the rest is content opened up and there were opportunities to finish epic quests that have been stalled for years without paying TMO 1.5 million in plat.

I've been here through every era of raiding, on both sides of the fence, and I've gotta say, I've seen some really ridiculous things.
But this situation?
I guess I'm just disappointed in the decision to petition, the decision by the staff in making the punishment, and the gibberish throughout this novel of a forum post. I'm not kidding when I say I typically deal with more vile and garbage attitudes when I leave the raid zones and go and try to randomly group or farm something out in these other zones with most of the so-called casuals.
Anyone that has played actively for a long time on this server knows who people are in all the guilds- they know who the good and the not-so-good people are. OP is one of the good ones, tries to do well and this just doesn't seem right.
I'm sure someone in AW has fraps with our TS in the background with several of us realizing the mistake and trying to pull the dragon from the entrance to the cubby, or just out trying to not train them. I mean, if it wasn't us engaging Feshlak last and botching the tag, it could have very well of been AM (or any other of the 200+ people in the zone). Conceding everything involved, apologizing (perhaps maybe not officer to officer? but members to members who know each other), helping res and buff- we tried to make amends.
30 days just seems messed up considering I really do feel this is one of the better eras of guild interactions on this server. You may think its bad, but I'll gladly take what we have now compared to the socking for 3 days straight in Naggy or Vox's lair in classic. The clusterfuck that PoSky was when that came out with DA and IB. The insanity of how cutthroat TMO was (we'd literally batphone and kill everything and probably succeeded doing that for nearly 2 years on 99% of the mobs). The disaster that the rotations were (caused my only break). Now here we are:
You people got it good. You just don't realize it. Just saying.
Much love to all my friends,

When life gives you lemons, you should always try to make lemonade. But when life gives you two McChickens and one of them is holding you down and telling you that you've been in a horrible car accident and to try not to move while the other is shouting over it that you're in a coma and need to kill yourself in your dream to wake yourself up, you should be very careful which of those you choose to believe. Also, I've seen a lot of strippers and I think the sexiest trait about strippers is that they've cultivated a certain look throughout the life, you know when they were younger they danced in a mirror and never thought they'd do that at night in a bar for money without cloths on. But what's more sexy than that is when they've been working a double and you can tell their economy of movement has been affected and they're sweaty, shiny and they are visibly tired and all of a sudden all that practice goes out the window and they know in their brain how the moves go but their flesh wiggles a little with each move because of how jerky and abrupt their movements are because they just want to be done and get it over with. Is that a fetish?

No it's exactly not this, I can attest as the person responsible. I logged into the game and tagged a mob that had already been pulled to picture hall and pulled it to entrance. I was just getting in the game and didn't know that CSG was at entrance killing Eashen.
99% of the time when its not a repop (which it wasn't) we are killing a mob in the spot that CSG was occupying.
I'm sorry CSG got trained, I would never do it intentionally and I don't know why on earth anyone would train a separate dragon they could kill on some other guild intentionally. It doesn't speak well about states of mind that believe this would be the case.
So you admit to camping out past the zone in and still engaged a mob? isnt that another ban worthy infraction?

playing a pickup game of basketball on the playground after team practice, one of the kids has downs syndrome. we are all civilized gentleman, its 2018, u gotta let him participate. why not.
he fucks everything up, breaks all the rules, double dribbles, fouls constantly, drools on everbody, with incoherent excited moaning. hes never done this before. god bless his gentle heart, poor soul.
during the awkward and bizarre pickup game, you accidentally bump him with just enough force to knock him to the ground. he slams the ground with a deafening autistic screech, twitches violently for a moment, then is completely still.
then all is quiet... you could hear a pin drop. you could cut the silence with a knife. in agonizing slow motion, you gaze up from the kid - all eyes are on you, piercing your very soul through the window of your dumbfounded look. the faces are a confused, intense cacophony of extreme rage, sorrow, and utter shock.
after what feels like an eternity, the soccer mom mother of the child, who knows nothing about basketball, stands up abruptly and begins the fiercest, most estrogen charged mamma bear social justice tongue lashing youve ever heard. everyones mouths fall agape. she charges towards you, red faced, hot and bothered screaming. the basketball coach/cuckold husband tries to restrain her gently and grabs her upper arm. big. mistake. you see her slap the taste of his mouse, shouting incoherently into his faces he apologizes profusely, and submissively. as the spectical is momentary shifted away from you, you take this opportunity to slink away.

You don't have to keep explaining yourself you've already convinced everybody that you're soft.
Didn’t you just lose your mind about a 9 month old Sev kill that was essentially an accident? Where we did everything we could to make it right including giving up all loot besides a scale, and you petitioned us anyway? Just pointing this out.
Also shortly thereafter another (I assume) member of your guild said they were looking forward to destroying us.
All because I tried to open up lines of communication to avoid petitions and suspensions.
I don’t agree with this event being petitioned at all, but I hope you can see why they felt it was among the top options available to them...

I have no idea what went on with Sev, but if you were in the wrong, and think offering up all the loot except for the best piece of loot he drops is "everything [you] could to make it right", then it sounds like they were right to petition.
If you're in the wrong, even if it is an accident, you concede the mob and *ALL* loot. Full stop. That is what Awakened did here and still got banned. What you did sounds like it would be like if Awakened still killed the mob (which they didn't) and then tried to bargain themselves into the best piece of loot that dropped. Completely different scenario.

1. Lost his mind? Naw
2. Did everything possible to make it right, aside from the one thing that would make it right
3. Did not petition, incorrect information
4. Im sure the member that wanted to "destroy" you was the member that tracked Sev all day for your guild to come in and completely ignore all rules and kill it and get 0 punishment.
5. This point makes no sense after reading my above comments

This just seems like part of the and toxic vibe (and to a lesser degree toxic personalities) on parts of the server. That entire raid moment was filled with unnecessary aggression from a lot of parties. I doubt any proper personal communication was had (correct me if I'm wrong) while the communication that definitely did happen was public and antagonizing. Ban seems excessive and/or potentially unnecessary so I do empathize with Awakened but I wonder if it could have been avoided through some healthy communication. Though I guess it depends on whether or not that communication did in fact take place and why the ban happened.
healthy communication with someone who cannot admit fault is a nonstarter

The Boy

during the awkward and bizarre pickup game, you accidentally bump him with just enough force to knock him to the ground. he slams the ground with a deafening autistic screech, twitches violently for a moment, then is completely still.
then all is quiet... you could hear a pin drop. you could cut the silence with a knife. in agonizing slow motion, you gaze up from the kid - all eyes are on you, piercing your very soul through the window of your dumbfounded look. the faces are a confused, intense cacophony of extreme rage, sorrow, and utter shock.
after what feels like an eternity, the soccer mom mother of the child, who knows nothing about basketball, stands up abruptly and begins the fiercest, most estrogen charged mamma bear social justice tongue lashing youve ever heard. everyones mouths fall agape. she charges towards you, red faced, hot and bothered screaming. the basketball coach/cuckold husband tries to restrain her gently and grabs her upper arm. big. mistake. you see her slap the taste out of his mouth, shouting incoherently into his face as he apologizes profusely, and submissively. as the spectical is momentary shifted away from you, you take this opportunity to slink away.
a few minutes later from the parking lot you eagerly peer through the cars to catch a glimpse of what has happened. is he ok? Did he get hurt? To your amazement, you see everyone standing around him, a few extending their arms, others beginning to help him up. As the players begin to slowly hoist him up, hes comes to - lets loose and angry wail, and frantically slaps the hands of the helpers away. They step back cautiously, and again the boy tumbles to the ground, moaning. He angrily, painstakingly, with great frustration, scrambles and scrapes to get onto his feet like a baby horse trying to get his legs underneath him. It is clear he does not want help, but standing on his own too feet unassisted appears to be a great source of pride for him. Does he understand pride or?
Eventually he stabilizes himself, the spectators gasp. The situation is playing out like a movie, and everyone is captivated by it. The boy instinctively shuffles to the free throw line, then glances at the coach with a hint of his mothers ferocity, signaling - its time for a foul shot. The ball is passed to the boy. he shoots. he scores. There is a roar from the crowd that has now formed, the scene is at an absolute climax. Tears stream down the face of the mother, makeup streaks forming on her cheeks, as the coach hands her tissues. Everyone is beside themselves, hooting and hollering, singing the praises of the boy. No one is more pleased and ecstatic than the boy however, who is lifted onto high into the air, onto the shoulders of the tallest players. He is paraded around with his hands held high, eyes tightly shut, streaming tears of pure happiness are everywhere. He begins chanting something, you swear it sounds like "Adrian" as he peppered by flash photography that has now gathered at the event.
The sensation of guilt, and mixed happiness twists your heart in a strange direction. In a strange chaotic way, you realize you've played the villain, in order to set the stage for great heroics.
Then, at that very moment, the sensation of slow motion takes over again. Miraculously, somehow, across the parking lot you lock eyes with the boy. Time stands still, and you see a highly intelligent facial expression begin to form, one that conveys a deep sinister, conceiving, telling, highly manipulative cunning. You again are shocked and utterly dumbfounded, as the demonic, thug-like face winks at you as if to say, and you swear you hear in the deep recesses of your mind "gotcha bitch." Then as quickly as the trance like state began, it ends. The boy breaks eye contact, his face shift back into a grimacing highly excited crying baby like before.
You regain control your senses, and fall to your knees, clutching your chest in a cold sweat. What.... what just happened?

As I see them winking and lightly nudging Sirken with their elbow hoping for another double suspension to hit so they can take 36+ hours to clear NToV and extend windows out over an entire week.....
Saying that, I hope AW guild leaders retract all active petitions specifically so there is nothing in the petition queue to suspend them for because spite

Trying to look at the situation objectively and I wonder about certain things.
1) CSG is getting blamed for Awakened getting a 30 day ban. But is CSG responsible for a 30 day ban or just a ban? With the 30 days being a culmination of previous bans and CSG only being responsible for 10 or so days.
2) If you look at the situation in the following way:
- Awakened accidentally trained CSG
- CSG didn't communicate that they felt it was worth petitioning over but just did
Conclusion: CSG was wrong.
But I don't think you can look at this as an isolated incident and I think more facts are relevant.
Despite it being an accident (which I accept is the case), should Feshlak have been pulled while Eashen was being engaged? I've read the explanation of why the train happened in the way that it did but to me that doesn't explain why the situation that could potentially cause a train was initiated to begin with.
I understand that Aftermath and Awakened do it this way. There's a rivalry but you guys want each other there because the competition excites you. Try to get every mob every week and if someone trains, it's just part of the game A/A plays. You conceed, you make some deals and win some, lose some and next week another game starts. Perhaps this is an incorrect way of looking at it, correct me if so.
But neither guild plays that game with any other guilds. And it seems like both guilds are so used to playing this game that they see it as a given. This is just the way things are (despite actively creating that particular way themselves). So another guild comes in, makes a clean pull and Awakened goes off to pull another raid mob right away, which could potentially train the other guild. And why? Was it their first shot in 7 months at that highly contested mob that drops an epic piece for a person whose main still needs it after 2 years? No, it was just another one of the ToV mobs Awakened kills again and again.
It ends up wiping CSG? Due to an accident? Sure. But an accident that occured because of 'competition!!!' ?. Also true. Well, no biggie. Just let CSG know through /ooc "we conceed." Situation resolved.
That works well when it's one mob and two guilds. We wipe you guys? Well, we conceed, and the other guild gets an uncontested kill of the target they were after. That actually helps the guild you wiped.
But in ToV with that amount of people it doesn't really work the same.
CSG wasn't going after Feshlak so how does conceeding that mob help in any way?
CSG had a clean kill going for Eashen and then gets trained twice, which jeopardized their shot at getting Eashen.
Conceeding Feshlak served nothing more than to do away with a fuck-up by means of a technicality. It also sets a certain precedent. It was mentioned that people should just start training the shit out of other guilds whenever they're killing something and then just say "we conceed". It's a magical get out of jail free card.
Guild A and B compete. Guild A throws guild C some loot and in return guild C trains guild B whenever A and B are competing. And then Guild C just conceeds. Problem solved.
What more could have been done? That's a question that was asked multiple times but never directly answered. First of all, nothing was done. Not for CSG. Conceeding Feshlak was 100% self-serving.
Send nudes, sing apology songs in their particular native language ('cause lol: they Euros)... yes. Perhaps someone in Awakened should have taken the time to send a tell and explain the situation. Apologize and see if after the night was done they could discuss something by means of making up for the wipe and potential loss of a raid boss. Because (again) conceeding didn't do anything at all for CSG.
It wasn't up to CSG to communicate, it was up to Awakened. CSG communication would require them to do more than they should have, which I will address in a moment.
But that patronizing /ooc wasn't the only communication. Other communication from AW followed and boiled down to "leave A/A be to complete and fuck off casuals". Aftermath as well.
And this is not an isolated incident, it's part of the entire raid scene. A raid scene that is currently shaped by A/A. I can't speak on it as I haven't been privy to those conversations but several CSG members asserted that guild communication with Awakened and Aftermath have often boiled down to "learn to petition". I also haven't seen anyone denying this. But it seems to me to be an important aspect of it.
So then I look at the situation as follows:
- CSG was simply killing a raid mob, got fucked over and ... nothing.
- Awakened plays their A/A raiding game, fucks another guild in the process and conceeds. Damnit, that's a loss for us and a win for Awakened. But we'll get 'em next week! Oh, CSG? The rules state we just need to conceed and our training is no longer an issue.
- Awakened thought they were jailfree because of a technicality, not for setting things right.
- No proper communication from Awakened.
- Bunch of people who didn't want to be a part of the A/A game.
- Bunch of people who were tired of being told to learn to petition petitioned.
- Awakened gets banned. It's 30 days (which really sucks and I don't enjoy it personally) but I'd say CSG gave you guys 10 days and the previous bans added the 20.

wow when i wnt to sleep i requested nerd meltdown, but now there's 22 additional pages.
it'll take most of my workday to read through this during breaks, i'll just make this post for you firegiants to chew on:
The reason why you just got banned for 30 days is because YOU, yes YOU, are responsible for turning the raid scene on this server into a steaming heap of othmir refuse. It doesn't matter that Awakened's scrub wiped an entire guild because he was so bad at the game he couldn't manage to communicate with his guildies before trying to FTE a mob. What really matters is that for the past years, YOUR guild and guilds exactly like it, mostly comprised of the same people, have been hives of degeneracy and toxic behavior. (Toxic behavior like getting a batphone and racing for a mob without bothering to contact your guild to see what's going on - nice one, genius!)
Over the years, many, many things have gone unnoticed by the GMs. But all those sleazy pull strats and culture of fucking over your rival guild to get your Fleshlight Loot first have culminated in this raid scene which Absolutely Deserves to Be Banned.
People are going to freak out and have meltdowns. People will hopefully quit the server (good riddance) or leave the banned guilds. This is all good. It means that the punishments are working because it's going to get rid of the people who cannot deal with the rules, or it's going to force people to create a wholly different raid scene where they aren't at risk for 30 day + suspensions.
Enjoy chewing on your cud (half-digested hotpockets)

I've read the explanation of why the train happened in the way that it did but to me that doesn't explain why the situation that could potentially cause a train was initiated to begin with.
I understand that Aftermath and Awakened do it this way. There's a rivalry but you guys want each other there because the competition excites you. Try to get every mob every week and if someone trains, it's just part of the game A/A plays. You conceed, you make some deals and win some, lose some and next week another game starts. Perhaps this is an incorrect way of looking at it, correct me if so.
But neither guild plays that game with any other guilds. And it seems like both guilds are so used to playing this game that they see it as a given. This is just the way things are (despite actively creating that particular way themselves). So another guild comes in, makes a clean pull and Awakened goes off to pull another raid mob right away, which could potentially train the other guild. And why? Was it their first shot in 7 months at that highly contested mob that drops an epic piece for a person whose main still needs it after 2 years? No, it was just another one of the ToV mobs Awakened kills again and again.
It ends up wiping CSG? Due to an accident? Sure. But an accident that occured because of 'competition!!!' ?. Also true. Well, no biggie. Just let CSG know through /ooc "we conceed." Situation resolved.
That works well when it's one mob and two guilds. We wipe you guys? Well, we conceed, and the other guild gets an uncontested kill of the target they were after. That actually helps the guild you wiped.
But in ToV with that amount of people it doesn't really work the same.
CSG wasn't going after Feshlak so how does conceeding that mob help in any way?
CSG had a clean kill going for Eashen and then gets trained twice, which jeopardized their shot at getting Eashen.
Conceeding Feshlak served nothing more than to do away with a fuck-up by means of a technicality. It also sets a certain precedent. It was mentioned that people should just start training the shit out of other guilds whenever they're killing something and then just say "we conceed". It's a magical get out of jail free card.
Guild A and B compete. Guild A throws guild C some loot and in return guild C trains guild B whenever A and B are competing. And then Guild C just conceeds. Problem solved.
What more could have been done? That's a question that was asked multiple times but never directly answered. First of all, nothing was done. Not for CSG. Conceeding Feshlak was 100% self-serving.
Send nudes, sing apology songs in their particular native language ('cause lol: they Euros)... yes. Perhaps someone in Awakened should have taken the time to send a tell and explain the situation. Apologize and see if after the night was done they could discuss something by means of making up for the wipe and potential loss of a raid boss. Because (again) conceeding didn't do anything at all for CSG.
It wasn't up to CSG to communicate, it was up to Awakened. CSG communication would require them to do more than they should have, which I will address in a moment.
But that patronizing /ooc wasn't the only communication. Other communication from AW followed and boiled down to "leave A/A be to complete and fuck off casuals". Aftermath as well.
And this is not an isolated incident, it's part of the entire raid scene. A raid scene that is currently shaped by A/A. I can't speak on it as I haven't been privy to those conversations but several CSG members asserted that guild communication with Awakened and Aftermath have often boiled down to "learn to petition". I also haven't seen anyone denying this. But it seems to me to be an important aspect of it.
So then I look at the situation as follows:
- CSG was simply killing a raid mob, got fucked over and ... nothing.
- Awakened plays their A/A raiding game, fucks another guild in the process and conceeds. Damnit, that's a loss for us and a win for Awakened. But we'll get 'em next week! Oh, CSG? The rules state we just need to conceed and our training is no longer an issue.
- Awakened thought they were jailfree because of a technicality, not for setting things right.
- No proper communication from Awakened.
- Bunch of people who didn't want to be a part of the A/A game.
- Bunch of people who were tired of being told to learn to petition petitioned.
- Awakened gets banned. It's 30 days (which really sucks and I don't enjoy it personally) but I'd say CSG gave you guys 10 days and the previous bans added the 20.
This is the correct outlook on the situation. However, this being RnF and all, it'll fall on blind eyes.
RnF isn't used to actually work through problems. Its sole purpose is to shitpost and Awakened has shown up in spades.

I know but worth a try. Not even saying I'm necessarily right.
Shame no edit because
"Damnit, that's a loss for us and a win for Awakened"
Should have been "Aftermath" instead of "Awakened". Don't make no sense now.

This is not the case, Rotating some targets has actually fostered a mentality from the semi-casual guilds that they can compete if they only have to face 1-A bringing a whole new dynamic of competition to the raid scene. PS+BG now contest fear, CSG has wrecked some dains and such, Statue has been contested much more these days.
Right, which is why the A/A statue rotation blew up--because PS was competing against Aftermath--and why that condition will be necessary for an A/A rotation to continue or expand.

The Boy
playing a pickup game of basketball on the playground after team practice, one of the kids has downs syndrome. we are all civilized gentleman, its 2018, u gotta let him participate. why not.
he breaks all the rules, double dribbles, fouls constantly, drools on everbody, with incoherent excited moaning. hes never done this before. god bless his gentle heart, poor soul.
during the awkward and bizarre pickup game, you accidentally bump him with just enough force to knock him to the ground. he slams the ground with a deafening autistic screech, twitches violently for a moment, then is completely still.
then all is quiet... you could hear a pin drop. you could cut the silence with a knife. in agonizing slow motion, you gaze up from the kid - all eyes are on you, piercing your very soul through the window of your dumbfounded look. the faces are a confused, intense cacophony of extreme rage, sorrow, and utter shock.
after what feels like an eternity, the soccer mom mother of the child, who knows nothing about basketball, stands up abruptly and begins the fiercest, most estrogen charged mamma bear social justice tongue lashing youve ever heard. everyones mouths fall agape. she charges towards you, red faced, hot and bothered screaming. the basketball coach/cuckold husband tries to restrain her gently and grabs her upper arm. big. mistake. you see her slap the taste out of his mouth, shouting incoherently into his face as he apologizes profusely, and submissively. as the spectical is momentary shifted away from you, you take this opportunity to slink away.
a few minutes later from the parking lot you eagerly peer through the cars to catch a glimpse of what has happened. is he ok? Did he get hurt? To your amazement, you see everyone standing around him, a few extending their arms, others beginning to help him up. As the players begin to slowly hoist him up, hes comes to - lets loose and angry wail, and frantically slaps the hands of the helpers away. They step back cautiously, and again the boy tumbles to the ground, moaning. He angrily, painstakingly, with great frustration, scrambles and scrapes to get onto his feet like a baby horse trying to get his legs underneath him. It is clear he does not want help, but standing on his own too feet unassisted appears to be a great source of pride for him. Does he understand pride or?
Eventually he stabilizes himself, the spectators gasp. The situation is playing out like a movie, and everyone is captivated by it. The boy instinctively shuffles to the free throw line, then glances at the coach with a hint of his mothers ferocity, signaling - its time for a foul shot. The ball is passed to the boy. he shoots. he scores. There is a roar from the crowd that has now formed, the scene is at an absolute climax. Tears stream down the face of the mother, makeup streaks forming on her cheeks, as the coach hands her tissues. Everyone is beside themselves, hooting and hollering, singing the praises of the boy. No one is more pleased and ecstatic than the boy however, who is lifted onto high into the air, onto the shoulders of the tallest players. He is paraded around with his hands held high, eyes tightly shut, streaming tears of pure happiness are everywhere. He begins chanting something, you swear it sounds like "Adrian" as he peppered by flash photography that has now gathered at the event.
The sensation of guilt, and mixed happiness twists your heart in a strange direction. In a strange chaotic way, you realize you've played the villain, in order to set the stage for great heroics.
Then, at that very moment, the sensation of slow motion takes over again. Miraculously, somehow, across the parking lot you lock eyes with the boy. Time stands still, and you see a highly intelligent facial expression begin to form, one that conveys a deep sinister, conceiving, telling, highly manipulative cunning. You again are shocked and utterly dumbfounded, as the demonic, thug-like face winks at you as if to say, and you swear you hear in the deep recesses of your mind "gotcha bitch." Then as quickly as the trance like state began, it ends. The boy breaks eye contact, his face shift back into a grimacing highly excited crying baby like before.
You regain control your senses, and fall to your knees, clutching your chest in a cold sweat. What.... what just happened?
later that afternoon your approached by the coach.
"hey man, i know this wasnt practice... but we feel its best you to take a month off to let this blow over"
read it this time, loved it
Trying to look at the situation objectively and I wonder about certain things.
1) CSG is getting blamed for Awakened getting a 30 day ban. But is CSG responsible for a 30 day ban or just a ban? With the 30 days being a culmination of previous bans and CSG only being responsible for 10 or so days.
2) If you look at the situation in the following way:
- Awakened accidentally trained CSG
- CSG didn't communicate that they felt it was worth petitioning over but just did
Conclusion: CSG was wrong.
But I don't think you can look at this as an isolated incident and I think more facts are relevant.
Despite it being an accident (which I accept is the case), should Feshlak have been pulled while Eashen was being engaged? I've read the explanation of why the train happened in the way that it did but to me that doesn't explain why the situation that could potentially cause a train was initiated to begin with.

My favorite part on that is the part where Siryado in the comments is talking about how toxic the raid scene is, and how unfair it is that he's black-balled from raiding.
Guy threatened to kill/rape the wife of an AM officer.. Got caught continually exploiting fungi king, and +6 dragons pulling them under water.. Dodged raids for 2-3 months straight farming plat while convincing other guildmates to dodge raids to farm plat as well.. Caused general dissent by trying to convince people not to raid until certain roles were paid more, and would have a temper tantrum any time he lost a bid in teamspeak.

Guild A and B compete. Guild A throws guild C some loot and in return guild C trains guild B whenever A and B are competing. And then Guild C just conceeds. Problem solved.
What more could have been done? That's a question that was asked multiple times but never directly answered. First of all, nothing was done. Not for CSG. Conceeding Feshlak was 100% self-serving.
Send nudes, sing apology songs in their particular native language ('cause lol: they Euros)... yes. Perhaps someone in Awakened should have taken the time to send a tell and explain the situation. Apologize and see if after the night was done they could discuss something by means of making up for the wipe and potential loss of a raid boss. Because (again) conceeding didn't do anything at all for CSG.
It wasn't up to CSG to communicate, it was up to Awakened. CSG communication would require them to do more than they should have, which I will address in a moment.
But that patronizing /ooc wasn't the only communication. Other communication from AW followed and boiled down to "leave A/A be to complete and fuck off casuals". Aftermath as well.
And this is not an isolated incident, it's part of the entire raid scene. A raid scene that is currently shaped by A/A. I can't speak on it as I haven't been privy to those conversations but several CSG members asserted that guild communication with Awakened and Aftermath have often boiled down to "learn to petition". I also haven't seen anyone denying this. But it seems to me to be an important aspect of it.
So then I look at the situation as follows:
- CSG was simply killing a raid mob, got fucked over and ... nothing.
- Awakened plays their A/A raiding game, fucks another guild in the process and conceeds. Damnit, that's a loss for us and a win for Awakened. But we'll get 'em next week! Oh, CSG? The rules state we just need to conceed and our training is no longer an issue.
- Awakened thought they were jailfree because of a technicality, not for setting things right.
- No proper communication from Awakened.
- Bunch of people who didn't want to be a part of the A/A game.
- Bunch of people who were tired of being told to learn to petition petitioned.
- Awakened gets banned. It's 30 days (which really sucks and I don't enjoy it personally) but I'd say CSG gave you guys 10 days and the previous bans added the 20.
It's not like CSG doesn't come out and play the game. I remember a Cazic Thule not too long ago where CSG wiped and Blood Guard kited CT (leaving out detail for simplicity) and conceded. This gave CSG time to recover and they were able to kill CT. Were we upset at blood guard? Yes. Did they cost us CT? Probably. Did we petition them? No. I'm pretty sure it felt great to be in CSG's shoes getting a satisfying win.
Look, I get what you're saying. CSG are more conscientious objectors than anything to raiding in ToV. However, we treat you like any other raid force. Maybe we should have contacted you and given you a little scratch to make you feel better about the whole situation, is that what you really want?
Listen, your leaders can reach out to us after the fact too. In fact, Culkasi and Cloki messaged Eratani a few hours after this thread hit the fan. For a raid issue? Nothing, just petition.
As far as what you think about the length of the suspension, whatever you want to think is fine with me. I know you guys don't control that.

At the very least this is going to secure the rest of Awakened a month without me crying about not getting an AoW hat on my main.

So your guild trains and wipes another guild and you don't think the offending party should have reached out first?

oh boy sirken talking about more shit he doesn't understand
you know why A/A rotates all of that? because if they fuck up a pull they might get suspended for 20+ days, so it's easier to just rotate instead of deal with bullshit suspensions.
has absolutely nothing to do with cockblocking casuals
keep up the shittalking from your white tower tho sirken, maybe you'll get some more viewers for your monday ego stroking streams
Well A and A could just stop putting in petitions...when was the last suspension imposed that didn't involve a petition?
That being said AWK could do better in avoiding petitions. When we messed up by training Vulak they wanted 4 Vulaks. When they mess up with Feshlak they offer nothing.

Reading some pages of this thread is like reading Trump criticizes Trump
Mikeo, are you referring to these posts from AW leadership?
Let me get this straight. We cleared a separate camp since the one we usually use was taken. We attempt to pull a mob into our new, solo camp, but it gets dragged onto another guild, so we concede the mob. We then get suspended for that? Sounds like we followed procedure on what to do when you accidentally train a guild.
So you trained another guild with fesh while they were currently killing a raid target (eash) that you previously conceded. You then also concede fesh in ooc like that is going to make up for it? Guilds can train whoever they want now as long as you concede said mob?
I wonder what the goal is for signing off on such a harsh sentence when the rules were followed conceding mobs after they were trained. Do we have to have make up sex with all the officers of the parties we offended too? What exactly are we suppose to do here?
As stated above, you think conceding a raid target allows you to train and wipe other guilds without repercussion? If this were AM, would you not reach out to guild leadership to work things out before a petition is sent in? I think we know the answer to that one

It's funny how people really think we care if "my competition" is getting geared. I couldn't give a fuck tbh. Hope they get good gear everytime they kill a dragon.
It has nothing to do with gear, it has to do with execute perfectly before the other team, bring to camp, kill the dragon clean. If you are not part of the pull team, or never was you have no idea how much joy you get when this happens. shrugs.
Velious was beaten with kunark gear by <Rampage> at day 1. I was there, if you really think blocking competition from getting gear will make em less stronger you are just a moron. Monk bots with no gear and just voiddance/DA idol can pull ToV just as good as a full BiS monk.
We rotate mobs with Aftermeth because the petition bullshit that come out of those targets is insane... and if we were not banned everytime something oppsieeee happened, maybe we wouldnt rotate as much. But truth is: when you playing and coordinating fast as fuck shit can go wrong very easy (but again, people who never raided in high level wouldnt understand since they can take 2hrs to prep for a target).
The adrenaline is what keeps me playing EQ in p99. I hate rotated targets, tbh i often don't even log in to kill those at all...
I am pretty sure lots of Aftermeth people will dislike these 30days of our ban. Because killing mobs without competition is terribly boring.

How much joy this gives you? Give it a rest nerd. This is fucking EQ, not a life moment.
Try getting your "joy" in avoiding your next suspension.

Cheat? what you mean? lol.
We killed first Version Vyemm, hardest dragon ever... after that version Red99 QQ'ed so badly that it was nerfed like twice? Just like Sontalak full nerfed version. rofl
Anyways, if you dont get my point... you are a moron.
You dont need Velious gear to kill anything. We do content with 2x the numbers required most of the time.
Game is over, Progression is over, banning people preventing them to play the game is retarded and i am sure lots and lots of people are getting burned out.
Again, not my call but just posting my 2cents here, i feel the P99 staff should reconsider the direction they are taking.

Just poking fun bro. Relax. But by cheat i mean you pulled him to Aary steps and avoided the aoe with your entire raid while the continued to be able to dps without getting hit by the AoE.

No it's exactly not this, I can attest as the person responsible. I logged into the game and tagged a mob that had already been pulled to picture hall and pulled it to entrance. I was just getting in the game and didn't know that CSG was at entrance killing Eashen.
99% of the time when its not a repop (which it wasn't) we are killing a mob in the spot that CSG was occupying.
I'm sorry CSG got trained, I would never do it intentionally and I don't know why on earth anyone would train a separate dragon they could kill on some other guild intentionally. It doesn't speak well about states of mind that believe this would be the case.
So this was a known live pull. Why is nobody talking about the Aw tank(s) letting this gargantuan dragon run by them at cubbies to the entrance while they say "derp eep" and not engaging? Didn't see it? Please. Didn't know it was being pulled? Please. Puller didn't hit his INC message? Right...
Why this puller wasn't parked at the entrance? No wonder they get so many FTE's...
Why were they pulling beside the entrance when they would know that Eashen wasn't dead yet? That's a lot of coincidences to be accidental.
Then showing their class by trying to flame casual guild's skills. When if this truly was an accident, they lacked skills on many levels themselves.

Technically true but we were allowed to do it because we specifically asked if it was ok to do that at the time, we were told yes but there was a misunderstanding so we were told not to do it in the future which we didn't.
Don't think Rogean was super pissed about it or he would have reset the mob during the encounter instead of letting us kill it.

All these ideas for rotations and deals for everyone is pipe dream. The reason why is because people haven’t forgotten the fuckery CSG has caused in the past. The raid suspended for a new member learning how to do train out for the first time and trains zone out while CSG was there. No attempt to communicate so Aftermath could make things right. Just strait to the /petition. How about the Ring War fuckery that caused another suspension? I’m sure the list can go on. These things are why it’s a issue. IMO of course

Now theres a coincidence. In ancient Froglok , “semenko” translates loosely to “i dont know how to raid”
Should probably start with learning raid rules mmmm.

Well in the end CSG shot themselves in the foot by ending the ring war rotation.
