View Full Version : Improper use of BROADCAST messages


Gugg
09-15-2023, 11:47 PM
I always thought it was for vital server messages but I guess not.

I don't care what <Kingdom> is doing and I don't want to send jokes to a GM.

Is there any way to turn off BROADCAST messages?

See you October 4th (https://nypost.com/2023/08/30/nationwide-all-device-emergency-alert-set-to-scare-us-all-very-soon/)

It is unfortunately not a Tuesday, though it is very close.

Also, in Classic, GM was invis, and only vis when necessary, not sitting around like a regular player and using broadcast for personal stuff.

Is there any way to hide GM characters so I can delude myself into believing P99 is a professional operation?

PS. Now I'm being told in BROADCAST the loot distribution...what's going on?

The problem Sir Gugg,

Is that you are burdened by expectations. Let go of your burdens and you will find Ascension ✨ much easier!

I will never settle for 2nd best.
I will never be happy with 2nd best.
I will tolerate it because I have NO CHOICE.

Tolerance is not acceptance.
Tolerance is slavery

Are you getting spammed by people in authority?
Have you been nerfed to hell?
Do you have toothache?
Are you suffering from hunger pains?
Did you lose a loved one?
Are you in a wheel chair pissing yourself while getting slapped around by "care" workers?
Do you have a brain tumour?
Was your child raped and murdered and his death report used for profit by the tabloid mass media?
Are you terminally ill on life support?

Don't worry.

Honestly I've noticed this more and more the last month or so and I agree it's kind of annoying and spammy. Or going to EC and there are random huge zombies running around, and at first it's like oh cool must be a GM event happening but it's not, they're just bored or something.

But yeah, it's a minor annoyance on a server I otherwise really enjoy. Screw that stupid mooncat server.

First step to turning off broadcast messaging is to remove the stick from your ass.

Create a new chat window.
Filter only system messages to it.
Move the window off screen or minimize it.
Problem solved.

There was like 6 just yesterday; the broadcast channel being used to comminucate with raiding guilds. To anybody that's not part of that raid it's dumb and makes no sense. Those messages are sent to every zone and you can't ignore them.

I don't care what <Kingdom> guild is doing.

You're just making excuses.

That's what the non-gentiles said in a holocaust once...

"This gas is free so I can't complain!!11".

On a serious note,

The sun is free.
The moon is free.
The stars are free.
The beaches are free.
The oceans are free.
The air you breath is free.

Should we really expect it all to be of a poor standard just because it's 100% free?

I don't see the sun telling me what <kingdom> is doing but it's 100% free.

Side note: Capitalists should pay for the sunsine and the air they breath otherwise they are communists in disguise?

Thankfully, what you want for me is irrelevant to me.

Everybody, and I mean everybody, should be thanking their lucky stars you're not in charge of their happiness because if you were we'd all be sad forever.

You can be in charge of darkness, not LIGHT, but death is a short lived affair so make the most of it while it lasts dear death cultist.

When the Light returns you will all scatter.

So I see Dove Cameron is posing nude now.

What is it about these Disney "girls"? They go from one extreme to the other.

It said in an interview that it only played with dolls as a child because it was conditioned to by men. Now it's conditioning young girls to take their clothers off in public.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

I know that this is not my project and whoever is running it has been pretty MIA lately. I'm just saying that i'm stoked i get to play free semi classic eq regardless.

Death cultists always suggest therapy. It's their de facto "solution" to everything...a weak attempt to destroy credibility and trivialise the problem at hand.

Classic death cultist propaganda...CHRIST.

Christ being something which doesn't speak for itself; others speak for it.

Christ being invisible to the naked eye which only the expert few can see.

If you don't obey this christ you will die so there's a violent threat involved.

This version of christ they peddle sounds a lot like COVID.

A distraction, a false flag, a fake solution to the proiblems.

Fun fact:

You're either on the side of death or on the side of life.

If you're on the side of death then death is your reward.

If you're on the side of life then life is your reward.

You can't be on both sides at the same time.

You can pretend to be on the side of life when you're really on the side of death.

The current state is not life, it's death mislabelled as life; death cultists mislable things to trick.

The best is yet to come.
