By the way, since we're talking about breaking rotations and all, let's talk about Djones going into the wiki and changing Awakened's established Sky day (Thursday PM) to Rustle without even attempting to negotiate a change with Awakened's officers.

Trying to change the raid scene for the better and all, right?

Rustle has been doing Sky on Thursday nights for over a month and have yet to see any awakened in zone. Why negotiate for a position that you are not using? After 30 days of doing sky we just updated the wiki to reflect the current state of affairs.

If this was a problem. How come Awakened was not up there on Thursday night? Are they trying to monopolize pixels without even killing them.

Usually its the guilds seeking a slot who are responsible to inform the slot holders leadership they are interested in their piece of Sky time.

We do not raid sky weekly but always kept the slot reserved to keep necros/warriors/mages happy with epic pieces. I dont think we would have had an issue with you guys doing Sky on Thursdays so long as we could coordinate 1 Thursday each month to clear some stuff, its just the fact that no one was approached and the WIKI was ninja updated that seemed off base.

I mean you are being aggressive even in your response lol We had that spot for several years and would have gladly shared it. I suppose this will get twisted though.

Sounds very entitled that you think you can reserve a slot and not kill it. As we been been actively raiding sky for the past 30+ days on Thursday night, if you need to slide into Sky for an epic piece, let me know I may be able to work something out.

Awakened has been a guild for less than a year, so I do not see how you had that night for so long.

More greed showing...

"Hey we don't need or use this slot BUT you better damn well come ask us of you can use it!"

Come on man I know you're better than this

If you're gonna quote someone quote them properly... He said we do sky once a month don't leave out info and try and make him sound a way he wasn't.

Oh please forgive me. How dare I misrepresent what he meant. Let me give it another try

"We're awakened, we have people who might or might not at some point somewhere down the line in the not so distant but distant future could possibly someday maybe need to possibly go to sky so we lay claim to an entire day that we might or might not, in the not so distant but distant futute possibly might need maybe. If you want to use it, we'll run a guild wide poll 30 days from now and not come back with an answer then get mad you used our day that we don't really need but might someday down the line in the not so distant future."

I remember when rustle took the coth bots back. It was because awakened was being dicks and decided to batphone a vindi that rustle wiped to and the leadership was seriously worried that rustle was a threat so they contested it. Keg then took all the bots back.


Don't be dicks and you'd still have the coth bots.

Dunno why the server being at its end is really relevant to be honest. Rampage didn't need the gear to clear Velious, Kunark raid gear is mostly junk, just a few neat clickies.

Eh rotating 16 mobs versus the Velious mobs I can sort of see that being a point one could make. But there are plenty of mobs left up unmolested by the guilds who race in ToV every week. They're just not all that exciting to some like Velketor, Lord Bob, Wuoshi, Kelorek, Tal/Gore/Sev/Fay, Sontalak, Vindi. Maybe even Trakanon, VS, West ToV, Klandicar, Ikatiar, Sevalak, and Fear golems on occasion, I dunno anymore. So I would agree to some extent.

I think an equal point to be made is that guilds have some outlet of raid targets to hit. Whereas back then even Maestro was tracked and instantly ported up for during the majority of Kunark. Guilds could only do planar clears, Chardok royals and that's about it. Doing that with no other targets for years would've gotten lame. Would you not agree here?

I'm all for sharing, but I'm not in a position to negotiate. I still dream of a P99 where you can schedule a raid at hour X, plan to raid for 2-3 hours and slay some dragons. But that's not a server P99 has ever been and the powers that be aren't interested in that unfortunately. Nor am I going to be able to convince them of that as I'm a huge minority. The majority of awakened enjoys competition in some style, and a fraction of them actually do that competing via racing. Never been my style and I won't ever understand it, but like the many guilds before them on this server, I suppose that's their right to do until Rogean says otherwise.

So I took my ball, and went off to another server to enjoy Luclin and PoP! I just float around here for the ForumQuest and randomly people request my assistance for various P99 related quests and occasionally raid mobs that require all hands on deck like Tunare or AoW.

Just split each cycle. Half the mobs one week are to be raced for, half to be rotated. Repops are full races. Periodically shuffle the mobs so it's not always the same crap. One hour to engage your rotated mob or it goes FFA.

Maybe if everyone played nice papa Rogean would reduce variance in account a the server first agreement.

[Rokzor]

If competition is such a big deal (which I can understand for some), but holding back a rotation. Why don't we throw in one or two FFA's in between a rotation cycle?
