The 矛盾 of /Lists: To Participate or Not to Participate, that is the question

[Castle2.0]

Chinese for contradiction. 矛 is a spear. 盾 is a shield. You can see the imagery.

Back in the "Classic Legacy Era" it seemed the common stance from the powers that be was "everyone on /list must participate". Fine and dandy: we down PHs at lightning speed.

Recently during the "Kunark Legacy Era" while on a /list I was told by #1 on the camp there were "special rules" for the /list. The camp belonged to #1 - I am not allowed to kill for exp or loot. They were unable to point me to where these rules were written on the P99 website. They mentioned "UN Discord" which I asked for an invite to see. Still no invite. They said the GMs showed up in zone the day before to say so. So I decide to reach out to the powers that be for clarification.

I'm not going to believe this random player from a guild of ill repute, known for breaking rules (even rules they have made for themselves.) For all I know he would say the rules are written on a rock I'd need to go stand on to view, and what sense is there in that?

I'll follow what the GMs say. But the problem with such an impactful ruling when it's merely /said in the presence of a few people is hard to pass that info along to the next guy with the same authority. Sitting in my little corner, clicking my little box, waiting for my turn on the rollercoaster is pretty much what legends and heroes are made of. Playing "telephone" is for children.

It's especially hard since the /list is transient and sooner or later there will be no people left on the /list who weren't there when the GM was speaking.

I was hoping for a place to read these rules. What I got was a new update from the powers that be.


It's safe to assume #1 on list has been here the longest, it's their camp


It's a good assumption.

But what if #1 wasn't participating and I was the primary person killing the PH/named? What if #2 is FD AFK and not participating until they are #1? Then when they get #1 they want to claim the camp's loot/exp because they are #1? That's exactly the situation. I had camp, but I'm not #1 at list, just #1 DPS Character Serverwide (with video proof) (https://streamable.com/ftle4)

Still, rules are rules and if a Green-named lightning-sword wielding, oversized elf says so, that's what it is. As an aside, when we reach CatsOnMoon Era with "Grow" and lightning-swords (maybe?) - this might get me in trouble because only Green names will separate mortals from immortals. Red-Green colorblind people BEWARE! Is this why we won't go to the moon? Maybe we never did... If we do, we will overtake the powers that be... Keep an eye out for more on this from my other forum handle: ElfAnon.

So, to end this 啰嗦 extemporaneous thought... LIST: to participate or not to participate, that is the question. What would you do?


Don't participate at all. It's #1's responsibility and their loot/exp.
Participate enough to help, but make sure to pull your punches in case you accidentally over nuke and get the kill.
AOC has a list. Lists are bad.

Patience young grasshoppa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErvgV4P6Fzc) You and I, but maybe just me, will be whistling our way to scrollzexpz in no time.

I'm still alright to smile. You?

No bush/towers poll invalid Sorry, towers eliminated under Green New Steal ala AOC list. Therefore, tic last box. Last box always Bush towers relevant.

Playing "telephone" is for children.

Playing 20 year old elf sims is for wildly successful grown men with ravishingly good looks.

I think the consensus is you were born to be a little bitch lol

Did your warded staff get upgraded to summon an epic pet yet?

[BiG SiP]

You have a healthy BMI yet?

[Comoc1]

I know Ripqozko doesn’t. The guy eats fast food 2-3 meals a day.

Every post he makes may very well possibly be his last.

[BiG SiP]

So, no
Got it

Well hell! There's your problem right there!

Easily fixed.

Mannastone helped me kill PHs as I was falling asleep
Nice guy

[Nexii]

Help out as you can and cry less. If you were more clear in your writing probably they would have invited you to group. I had no problems getting into list groups, most people are friendly and don't care about the trash drops or exp that much. Even Snortles although he was AFK/FD as much as me

Galach's avatar is having the same effect the one ring has

[adichi]

if you're talking about chief rokgus camp that camp is a bit different from others. you're on the list for the locket but theres also a chance you could get a CoS drop, which definitely complicates things.

on launch day many ppl were ksing #1s mobs which is why the implemented the rule... they're trying to adapt to how we the players play the game so it's not really their fault but ours for not being more civilized

Also, you were the AFK guy behind a wall at the Jboots camp - There is an entire thread about it.

Fake news. I did nothing wrong, and thus none of my accounts are suspended. You can reread (I mean, that is, if you can read) to get your heads straight on details.

Also, all my scrolls are on mules, not corpses, so they can't rot. Maybe Galach has me mixed up with another scroll champion.

To the elf in this thread fomenting at the mouth that the elf who out-elfed them might get suspended. It ain't gonna happen; I've done nothing wrong. Haters gonna hate and weak trolls gonna weak troll.

Voted 1 in poll before any one else did.

I wish I had OPs level of energy and time to participate in this community.

[chuckleluckle]

OP is just frothing at the mouth chewing on his beard as he types threads across all media platforms hoping someone, anyone, will listen.

This just in, no one cares, get fucked.

Would be a shame if they just banned all your associated accounts for talking shit lol

If this server wasn't full of 40 year olds trying to relive a coke-like high they had 20 years ago, instead of actually just enjoying their real life, I would say absolutely help out #1.

But no, 95% of the server are snaggletooths who get offended by anything that is not in their 100% interest, 100% of the time. Helping out somebody wastes precious pixel-seconds.

[Castle2.0]

Guys Castle is important, haven't you read his signature?Fact Check: True

blah blah
Fact Check: False

Would be a shame if they just banned all your associated accounts for talking shit lol Ya sure pal because Galach reads RnF thoroughly and gets deeply offended easily... I think Galach would be more offended by you casting aspersions that Galach is a censorious tyrant looking to mass ban/suspend accounts because of RnF banter... Sure pal, soon™

People be assuming I am doing drugs. The jokes on them because I imagine most of you forumdwellers have used brain-rotting narcotics at some point. I haven't :D *ubernerdflex* Also, true story.

Enjoy your weekend elves. I'm enjoying mine ;)

Lists are probably the best thing to happen to the game tho. Who cares about community agency.

If you're patient list will give you your shot regardless of positive mental attitude.

[magnetaress]

List? Are you not a Tranny? Pretty sure you are on a list. Sorry to break your walls mentally ill person.

I don't know what you're talking about.

For the record I don't prescribe to any silly genderist or sexist ideologies.

I am a Starkind.
