Thanks for the support. My suspension was a little less boring thanks to you guys. It did get me thinking about a little analogy. I don’t ever make long posts so bear with me, if not that’s cool too. Probably just delirium from sleep loss.

Blue99 is europe. Red99 is like the united states before colonization.
Now, the native americans had strange customs. Some would say difference senses of humor and logic. A lot less people too, compared to the rest of the civilized world. I liked it that way. Our way of life and customs gave me great pleasure. That time has come to an end.

It's interesting to me that the GMs or I could be considered good and helpful people, yet our views are so different in so many ways. Rogean called my work grotesque, he's clearly repulsed by someone like me. That got me thinking.

You have to put yourself in the shoes of bluebies and GMs. I do this by listening to their twitch channel and observing their comradery. Think about the things they say, and the things they laugh about and find humorous.

To put it lightly, that type of humor and conversation makes my skin crawl and I feel very uncomfortable listening to it. You may find that absurd, but I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. Now in turn, you have to remind yourself every now and then that they feel that very same way about our interactions on red.

This is obvious logic, but sometimes you need to truly feel that disgust for something and for a lack of a better term, manually associate it for a moment in order to genuinely empathize with an opposite viewpoint.

It's easy to do this when I read comments the blues make about why they don't want to play here, such as "the ooc is unbearable". Immediately my nose wrinkles like I have smelled shit, because I know deep down that person is a huge pussy and a tool. The type of person that would nod their heads to a Nickelback song. That's not only the blue server, 95% of people who play everquest have this aura about them. Jim Jeffries for example, would not be welcome in our community even though he is a swell guy.

They don't need to understand our collective sense of humor or allow us to keep living the way we have (corpse camping, etc). Basically they are trying to colonize red99 in the name of bluebs, and make the server in their image. It will always be the majority's right to do so.

I can't really blame them. Server is more cost effective if more blues are playing on it. It's not so bad being a minority. You get to appreciate vastly different things and move onto new stuff before others do. However, every once in a while you blues could try to put yourself in my shoes for a second and think about what I find repulsive. Then you'd really know what it feels like to have to hold your tongue. Dare I say it would drive someone of your constitution mad. Maybe you might even have more respect for someone who is your polar opposite.

I wish I could take all of you pals to a reservation where we could practice our ways in peace.

tldr : differences in humor shouldn't garner all of this abrasiveness, we could all be a little more objective sometimes

Going DEEP with dr casey

Being a minority is exactly what i want on red99 tbh, i played on vallon zek and looking back at it that was the bluest pvp server of them all. There's nothing like a pvp server which has 90% bluebies and 10% red, i absolutely love life on such as server. Each kill you score expect to get a book of tells about how bad you are, which to me is what feeds the flame for me to keep on trucking, bluebies talk by far the most trash.

tldr: free casey

Seriously Casey is a super helpful guy in-game. He gave out a fortune worth of items to new players and guildies and spent a huge majority of his time PLing people so they wouldn't get bored.

Fucking free Casey.

P.S. I agree with the novella written above this server was at it's best before guard assist, before PnP, and before all the crying. As much as I dislike it I've had to make peace that most people have terrible taste in their elfsim emulation and as such understand why the changes made were neccesary.

Casey comes in extremes. He is extremely helpful to his allies and new players (almost to the point of being sick) and extremely hostile towards his enemies. You don't hear him say it much and if you didn't know him you wouldn't know you self but he has leveled dozens and dozens of people for nothing. Many times he would just let his pals AFK while he solo'd on his druid (and they were hybrids) all night long.

It sucks when one bad deed can condemn a man who has a thousand good deeds. I guess its like RL. EverQuest = RL

Insane people don't have the benefit of fitting in or having similar views as others, this is correct. The majority will tailor the rules to fit the majorities play style whether intentional or not. Not much anyone can do about it Casey.

There's a difference between humor and just berating people. It's the difference between a great stand up comedian and some fat black guy who just starts making fun of obvious people in the audience. It's good for a laugh or two, but you start to feel a bit uncomfortable.

Gonna add to the list of good things about Saint Casey

He has a Titanium torrent that has been up for a year or so. It has a setup guide on how to log on p99 as well. He has brought players to both blue and red. I think that serves some pras.

He is also helpful in the technical forums which most people dont even bother looking at.
