Jesus...WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE?

I'm not even in VP and I completely understand. The only people asking for "clarification" (well, okay, the majority of them on this thread) are trying to play sneakyfag with the rules so they can see that little window of a grey area they can exploit. I mean come on, you know what he asked you not to do, when the zookeeper marks a line next to the sleeping bear would you edge up as close as you can and ask "Is this okay?", take an inch, "Is this okay?", ad nausium?

a wild clueless idiot appears!

So show me how I got it wrong, Xarz.

I think the issue is that guilds are currently competing with each other, and an escalation of arms and tactics is utterly inevitable. It stands to reason that if one guild is permitted to /q cycle within 20 seconds that the opposing force should desire it as well.

Further, some individuals are undoubtedly seeking to have others banned or punished for any number of reasons including both petty vendetta and deontological concerns. It's only logical to seek out the bounds of acceptable conduct.

a) The thread in question is a fraps of someone logging into their account from a second client insta kicking or 'poofing' their character. Nobody is questioning this part

b) There are concerns that you can unintentionally break this rule depending on how it is defined since now DA /q and just a regular old /q relog are in question. Enforcement of this type of /q seems sketchy at best

all I know is that a lot more people died in VP today because of this post thanks Sirken!

Ok, I've read and actually not dismissed your points out of hand. Makes sense, I can see how you both would see it that way.

I guess all I can really offer at this point is that this thread makes me kind of glad that I am not in VP regardless of the pixels because it's stuff like this, right now, that turns what would be a beautiful game / server into, well, this.

No hate on either of you two Xarz or Frieza.

Most people don't like underhanded shit. Just because it happens and people make a big deal out of it here doesn't mean it's common and that we don't usually have some clean and fun competition.

I have to say I was impressed with the majority of the "FE Gets a VP Kill" thread, and especially enjoyed seeing a lot of the TMO crowd coming out and saying "No joke, you guys got a good kill well done".

poor sports are also in the minority here - most people are really cool

Personally I just don't like having to interpret vague language broadly to ensure I am safe from the whims of the perma ban.
