Server policing expectations

That seems really wrong. The server rules (#2) do indicate it is up to interpretation by the GM, but it sounds like you were holding those spawns down and the person stole the spawn. I can't understand why a GM would essentially encourage that behavior by giving them what they want. Anyway, sorry you had to deal with that.

You cant 'camp' outdoor mobs. Ask any Druid who has ever quadded their way to 60 how many f#cks are given if someone comes and starts stealing your quad mobs. Answer: zero f#cks given. Seafuries are definitely FTE regardless of weather you can keep the entire island down or not.

Caveat to the FTE rule is if a player is kiting more than 5 mobs you can tag off their train. So when you see a Bard with 10 mobs behind him feel free to start picking them off and killing them.

Gotcha. I think that is what NegaStoat also found out. Even with static, non-roamers, you cannot camp outdoor mobs (with the exception of a single static spawn?).

This is all news to me ... I figured you should camp static spawns that you can hold down, but apparently not.

All of that is of course irrelevant with respect to seafuries... those are roamers.

Nope. Not that it really matters now that Seafuries suck, but back in the day you could definitely "camp" a single spawn. The one by the tree at the druid rings was best cause you could sit right on the spawn and still nail 2-3 other spawns with a javelin without moving and not as many people tried to FTE them as the top of hill spawns. It was shitty plat, but sometimes it was better than getting no spawns when 10 people were there.

Wrong. I guess I should have been more clear in my explanation. If you are sitting on a single spawn point, then sure, you can "camp" it. But if you and another player are camping 1 spawn point each, and fighting over a 3rd spawn point (that is not camped by someone), that NPC then becomes FTE. Don't expect to sit on multiple spawn points and claim it as a camp, you get 1 spawn point, the rest are FTE.

Not sure how to quote closed threaads but that^^ is Llandris re: seafury camping

I was on of the third parties in this "indecent" and every excuse that has come up for the GM's behavior is incorrect other than what the GM was doing personally (dog needed to potty?).

• Did OPs friend deserve a warning? Yes
  
• Did OPS friend deserve a suspension for technically breaking rules by KS accidentally 1 time? Maybe?
  
• Is 7 days suspension way overkill for a long time player on a first offense who did not say anything offensive in a "tell war"? Absolutely

The only nasty words were said by the other party who was ranting and raving with walls of texts about one accidental KS pull that we thought he accidentally pulled from us.

"Indecent"!? I think you meant incident.

All I heard was petitioner was sending walls of text and we didn't really think much of it because if he broke the rules, it was accidental.

I for one am glad our 1st Amendment rights are strictly protected on this server.

We don't have pesky gm interference in red99.

Keep logs.
