That being said, I personally have had contentious convos when approaching high levels farming the belts when I was on my lowbies and can see why Darkfae reacted aggressively.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried the "nice" approach in the past and was told "it's in the rules I'm allowed to farm here get lost nub." Not justifying or condoning his supposed behavior, I am just saying I can empathize with his frustration.

I personally don't hold low level camps hostage for plats with my high levels particularly in high population zones or zones that are easily accessed and played in by lowbies. That's just me.
I could sympathize as well, however, I'm not one to bend the knee to some dude being a dick when I haven't provoked or slighted him in any manner. I honestly had no idea he was in zone and planning to snipe camp (if thats even the correct term to use for this situation) from me while I was afk until I hopped up from Feign Death and was well into slaughtering Filbus' kinfolk. However I'm not going to concede to his argument that he is there solely for the xp. Anyone who camps Deputies while they're gaining xp is doing it to get that added bonus of the coin. It may not be the fastest coin, but its consistent.

Ehhh, maybe you're right. I didn't have my logs turned on, and I went to scroll back up for the chat text but it'd had been wiped out to my vendoring of spears and shields.
You'll never get any respect around here without logs.

When you look back on your time playing P99 the only somewhat tangible thing you will have produced is a massive text file detailing your mundane activities. So turn those fuckers on.

Most of the time people are given the benefit of doubt, I don't assume anyone is lying when they give an anecdotal story unless it sounds unbelievable and/or the person has a history of fabricating truths.

Logs add some concrete evidence for us to judge accordingly but a persons word can provide plenty of material to hand down a good proper judgement!

OP, logs are just added fun bags, your word is good until it's found you have lied. Carry on sir, name-and-shame as noted above always gives you bonus points! You did well. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Default Boxing in Rivervale, maybe?

UPDATE: So last night after Aftermath, Awakened, CSG, BGA (Blood Guard/Anonymous), and Paradigm Shift killed Norrath after the earthquake, I decided to run and bank in Rivervale on my druid. As I entered the main central area of Rivervale, I noticed the deputies were laying lifeless on the ground with no one in sight. So I checked to see who it was, so I could toss out some buffs. Upon checking zone, I saw the name (dun, dun...DUN!) Darkfae of Dawn Believers. Also noticed he was level 45 (unlike before when he was on /anon).

I figured I'd be the bigger person and throw him some buffs since I was on my druid since he wouldn't know me from our first encounter on my monk. As I started to cast out Chloroplast, I saw him get hit with a buff while he was sitting and medding. And then it happened again. Without another single person in sight, I was wondering where these buffs were coming from. So I went back to check the /who result and found Cherangel of Dawn Believers in zone. Still didn't answer my question as to where this other char was at. I checked my druid track (which druid track is awful for tracking other players), and it was telling me that Cherangel was straight ahead. So I went straight ahead, then track ability was saying that Cherangel was behind me. As I stood there befuddled, it hit me, Cherangel was above on the mountain ridges.

So I took to the skies of Rivervale with my levitation spell (Thankfully I had just refreshed by supply of bat wings.). So I managed to get myself to the highest peak of Rivervale, and I found Cherangel. I flew up on her with superior camouflage on and noticed that this Wood-Elf Druid wasn't moving...except for standing up to cast buff spells on Darkfae and his pet companion. It became apparent to me that Darkfae was breaking one of the cardinal rules of Project 1999...Boxing. So I sat there and submitted a petition in game. After watching for about 30 minutes, both characters, Darkfae and Cherangel, logged out of game before a GM/Guide could show up to verify my suspicion. Thought I had him dead to rights, but either a GM or Guide wasn't online, or they had bigger fish to fry. Who knows?

Pretty sure the rules mention something about profanity...wait...here it is: Server Rules

Limit your use of profanity, especially in public channels. Remember there is a difference between cursing and cursing at someone. You will receive warning, and if you still refuse to cooperate, you will be banned.

Interesting, and they even tried to hide the boxed buffer. No reason some pal would come to buff them, then hide out of sight as they did it. I think you onto something.
