Disclaimer: This is not a defense of the OP. I don't know the person and to be honest, seeing their other posts, they could quite possibly be a troll or a serial complainer. Complaints may be valid at times, but then there are those who abuse the idea.

Onward and forward.

Even if the OP is a troll or an otherwise bad influence, the point they bring up is valid. It can be found in the server rule set. Specifically in rule set 10. However rule set 9, 11 and 12 can be applied. I have conveniently cut and pasted them for people to read or re-read.

Then there is the general idea of a "Play Nice" policy. Any player, group or guild dominating an area or a spawn is definitely not "Playing Nice." It's using unnecessary force, in a sense and bullying tactics (like a pitchfork mob, not a snowflake) to effect control over other players and/or zones and/or spawns. We are not talking raid zones. That's a completely different circumstance.

9. You may not harass others.

Harassment is defined as specifically targeting another player or group of players to harm or inconvenience them. As harassment can take many forms, the P99CSR involved will make a determination as to whether or not a "reasonable person" would feel harassed and act accordingly.

10. You may not disrupt the normal playability of a zone or area.

Zone/Area Disruption is defined as any activity designed to harm or inconvenience a number of groups rather than a specific player or group of players. This includes, but is not limited to::

-Monopolizing most or all of the kills in an area.

- Deliberately blocking a doorway or narrow area so other players cannot get past.

- Refusing to cooperate with the other parties at a contested spawn site after having been instructed to do so by a P99CSR.

- Making excessive and inappropriate use of public channels of communications (/shout, /ooc, etc.).

- Intentionally causing excessive zone latency (creating excessive corpses, abusing spell effects, etc.).

- Causing intentional experience loss to other players (deliberately impeding fleeing players by blocking their escape route, intentionally training NPCs on other players, etc.).


11. You may not defraud other players.

Fraud is defined as falsely representing one's intentions to make a gain at another's expense. Examples of this activity include, but are not limited to, using deception to deprive another player of items, slandering another player or impersonating them with the intention of causing harm to that player's reputation, or falsely representing one's identity in order to gain access to another player's account or account information.

Fraud in all transactions between players may result in disciplinary action when confirmed by a P99CSR.

This is not permission to not watch out for yourself during interactions with players. Players may still scam or defraud you on Project 1999. It is your responsibility to protect yourself. The player who scammed you may be subject to disciplinary action, but there is no guarantee you will get your items or PP back. It is in your best interest to be wary of other players.

You are responsible for the people you let onto your account. Disciplinary action may be enacted upon your account even if you yourself were not responsible for any rule breaking. Do not share account info if you are not ready to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions.

12. You may not abuse other players or Project 1999 Staff.

The following actions would be considered abuse:

o Hate Mongering - participation in or propagation of Hate literature, behavior, or propaganda related to real -world characteristics.

o Sexual Abuse or Harassment - untoward and/or unwelcome advances of a graphic and sexual nature. This includes, but is not limited to, virtual rape, overt sexual overtures, and stalking of a sexual nature.

o Attempting to Defraud a CS Representative - Petitioning with false information with the intent of receiving benefits as a result. This includes reporting bug deaths, experience or item loss, or accusing other players of wrongdoing without basis for it.

o Impersonating a Customer Service Representative - falsely representing yourself to another player as a Guide or a member of the Project 1999 Server Staff.

o CS Personnel Abuse - This includes, but is not limited to, sending excessive /petitions (as an individual or group), sending excessive /tells to a CS Representative, excessively using say or other channels to communicate to a CS Representative, making physical threats, or using abusive language against a CS Representative.

o Implying favoritism by members of the Project 1999 Staff - Implying that Guides, GM's, or Developers will show favor towards one or more parties involved in any given situation. This includes, but is not limited to, using threats of retribution or inferring that you will not be held accountable for your actions due to special consideration.

Note: This list is not all-inclusive. Other actions may be determined as abuse at the discretion of the P99CSR.

Nobody harrassed him. It is not harrasment if someone got to a mob before him
They also were not specifically targeting him... they would have attemted to get the AC if he wasent even there... so nothing was specifically targeting the OP.

AC in SouthRo is a FTE mob... i believe it even sends a FTE announcement.
Nobody monopolized the area. OP is just mad someone beat him to the AC.

There is evan an AC in another zone where you can camp the spawn, if the OP is not able to get FTE in SouthRo he should go to that camp and wait his turn (he will get better results doing that, than crying on the forum)

Again, nothing like this happened. Apart from the OP claiming that the Staff are biased.

Oh wow OP's alt account is salty because his post trying to support his other account was completely inapplicable to the situation (hence the stupidity)

We're all my alt accounts. Fun fact- cd288 is me too, i'm OP.
