Remember all those massive WTS threads by Nizzar?

Uthgaard seems to have the right attitude and intelligence to be a great GM but he also sounds crazy. I think it could end up being a liability when he resorts to calling someone at work or their cell phone threatening their life because they broke a rule on an emulator.

The part on this thread where he mentions that he looks for peoples phone numbers or better yet their SSN, I begin to think having this guy monitor all the players here would be a mistake.

He's really not crazy in his general dealings with normal people.

If you put him around crazy, he will fight fire with fire every single time.

I know Rogean would probably never let Uthgaard back on staff after their tiff and Uthgaard probably wouldn't want to GM red but if he did and was given completely free reign (something else Rogean doesn't give GMs), I'd be smiling hard as hell.

Having a known RMTer from blue come and lead a guild, have a 95% raid attendance over years.

Get caught RMTing, and still actively plays a new warrior that was 60 a week later.

Interdasting, can't imagine why the shit rolls down hill on thsi box.

If Uth would do it and could only touch red... I'd say release the kraken.

Let me tell you the story of Ralph. Picture a time before the anti-hax dlls. No way to easily or verifiably confirm whether anyone was hacking without a lot of time and a lot of luck. Ralph was a druid, he had track. He had a perfectly viable excuse for knowing when mobs were up in the zone.

So he sat in Dagnor's Cauldron and farmed the everliving fuck out of Pearl Kedge Totems. Ralph also 2boxed an EC account, on which he kept all of his money, and from which he sold the PKTs. Months passed, with Ralph supporting his actual living expenses by doing this.

One day, a brand new guide named Uthgaard gets a petition from Ralph. Someone trained him while he was sleeping and waiting for the timer to wake him up. Ralph was now level 30. It was too late for all but a few rezzes, and Uthgaard just didn't have the access to help poor Ralph.

Then, not two days later, it happened again. Ralph was down to level 20. This time, Ralph threw the biggest hissy fit ever thrown, and blamed the staff. Well, Ralph took some of his proceeds and reinvested in his business, securing a powerlevel back up to 40.

The person who trained Ralph secretly came forward and confessed. They did it because they were tired of him locking down the PKT, and they also knew he was using MQ2. Armed with that knowledge, Ralph managed to get busted, after having wasted most of his profits on relevelling. Ralph wasn't going to be able to pay his bills.

His alt was still a secret however, and he used his money to buy a new Druid. This new druid did exactly the same thing for about a month before anyone figured it out. But he still had this alt where he kept all of his money. He couldn't afford a new character anymore, so he just made a new one, gave it a PKT, and started levelling. He made it to mistmoore before someone ratted him out for two-boxing.

But that still wasn't the last time Ralph showed his face. Sometimes it's one person just being determined. Other times, it's a guild who lets one of their members get caught training, then publicly throws them under the bus while privately letting them play another account for the duration of their punishment.

Never underestimate people's determination to be pieces of shit.

If a power level from 20-40 ran Ralph dry of all operating liquidity then Ralph is a retard and or you falsely accused him of being a hacker/rmter and or you just wasted your time being an Internet detective and investigated someone for making 25 cents an hour on a 15 year old game.

Or these kids are scraggly looking losers with yellow teeth who probably live welfare style lifestyles, and just play EQ all day?

I doubt anyone thinks Nizz is a high roller, but he does ruin the box.

I don't even have this shit installed anymore. I just come here because I'm the kind of guy that can't see a hornet's nest and not swat it.

I will never dev with sundawg derping all over my faction tables.
I don't want to GM and deal with the endless political bullshit and constant upstream second guessing from people who are out of touch with what's actually going on.
The best you'll ever see is an event or two. All of my events were really successful, and it's a positive, low stress thing.

Are you aware Sundawg is Arzak and he's in Nihilum? LOL.

Exactly the reason the GM in charge of the server needs to have free reign and not someone higher up/that has no idea what's going on holding them back while the corrupt player base makes a mockery of their efforts to enforce.

I don't blame you.

Probably the reason all GM's just don't give a fuck, why would they - just go GM on blue where it's all good.
