We do appreciate it if you attempt polite conversation with the player you are petitiong first, however, and try to work something out so that everyone can share the zone in peace - this is almost always the first thing I will do when called into a situation like this. Obviously if a compromised can't be reached for whatever reason, I'll usually just limit the bard to a single camp and they'll leave on their own accord (after raging at me in tells for a bit).

Bottom line, for me, is that I'm more interested in making sure the group of 6 trying to XP has mobs to kill than the 1 bard PL'ing someone for platinum. This goes double for newbie zones, where a lot of people get their first impression of P99 and really start to "relive" Everquest.

Juntsie affirms well-exercised discretion of Derubael and adopts reasoning set forth therein. Importance of protecting lowbie zone paramount. PL bard have rights, but it well-settled that rights of lowbie group take precedent.

Juntsie offer to draft clause to Project 1999 rule set codifying this doctrine and publish guidance materials on behalf of Derubael in consideration for reasonable fee. Because GM involved, Juntsie cut discount and set fee at reduced rate of 3,000 plat per hour to be paid by GMs. Juntsie require 10,000 plat retainer up front. Very reasonable considering extensive professional licensing and decades of rules lawyer experience.
