My original opinion still stands. This guy obviously has something personal against DA and/or Phallax and he's blown this situation into something far more significant than it really was.
he just posted a SS of his conversation, nothing more, nothing less.

I have a problem with Daverik and Jijika, both training asshats and noone in DA cares either, yet I am always told to "bring it up to an officer", but nothing is done.
Daverick is possibly the worst player I've encountered on the server. Both attitude as well as skill-set.

Whiney baby that thinks everyone owes him something.

"Board-warrior skills" hahaha. I like that.

Phallax disregarded this claiming he was adhering to the rules, which he was.
I guess I'm confused why people keep missing this. The rules say do a courtesy camp check first. Phallax didn't. By his own admission, he never follows camp check rules. If he had CC'd, the OP would've responded, and could've then moved in to sit on the spawn.

Honestly, from what I understand about this camp (that being just the info in this thread), there's no point is sitting on the spawn point, other then being pedantic with the rules.

How can a camp check "courtesy" be a rule? If i'm not obligated to answer a camp check (and i'm not...) then i don't see why people would be obligated to call one. The reason people wouldn't follow these is because on occasion you get a single group calling 4 different camps.

I still don't think this is about the rules, it's about etiquette and how someone would rather screw someone over by claiming to the rules than show play-nice etiquette to a fellow player.

Hrm yeah, you're probably right. Rules seem to just give people the wiggle room they want to interpret however it best fits them, and abuse it.

We obviously need camp lawyers available in all zones! Or ya know, people could just learn to share in busy zones, and be more considerate of people camping retarded stuff like 36 hour spawns.

I love the double standards...Keep 'em coming! There are other scenarios played out quite a lot where rules are quoted by players with pontifical airs, and a morally superior index finger reaching for the heavens and any dissenters are shouted down and ridiculed by the peanut gallery.

I have recently had a situation where someone was a complete douche, yet his behavior was celebrated by some... I have moved on from my issue.

Here's a story I think many will enjoy:

Two monks, Tanzan and Ekido, were walking down a muddy street in the city. They came upon a lovely young girl dressed in fine silks, who was afraid to cross the street because of all the mud.

“Come on, girl,” Tanzan said. He picked her up in his arms and carried her across.

The two monks did not speak again till nightfall. Then, when they had returned to the monastery, Ekido couldn’t keep quiet any longer.

“Monks shouldn’t go near girls,” he said, “and certainly not beautiful ones like that one! Why did you do it?”

“My dear fellow,” Tanzan said, “I put that girl down hours ago, back in the city. It’s you who are still carrying her!”

Never happened on live, will never happen here.

Remember, these are the same crapweasels from live, 11 years older, still acting like they're 12, still unable to get along with anyone, still rubbing everyone the wrong way, still living in the basement at home, unemployed, miserable, and taking out their rage against their own failures on everyone else around them.

Phallax is no longer in DA, either was removed, or ragequit. Either way, he is un-guilded.
