I was the on PLing OP on Dhrud

Due to a motorcycle injury, I don't have a functioning left arm and my right hand only has 2 fingers. I also lost my right eye from a dog attack and take many pharmaceuticals daily (antipsychotics, opiods, ect). My laptop died right as I was about to start the box test resulting in it appearing that I intentionally disconnected. Sorry for the confusion folks

Haha love it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

OP
Mistake #1 - joining a guild
Mistake #2 - joining KWSM
Mistake #3 - coming here for help
Mistake #4 - thinking guides are perfect human beings
Mistake #5 - having any kind of communication with the morons who dwell on these forums

I could believe this and I used to get concerned when playing on a similar shitty laptop that I would fail a boxing test. It's also kind of doubtful though. Even playing on that shitty laptop I likely could have passed the test.

If you normally played on that shitty laptop you likely would have gotten good enough to use it enough to pass the test. I know I could have. Actually I really do think I even got tested on that shitty laptop and passed and the only reason I was using it was so my wife could power level me so I was borderline boxing anyway.

If your dog is playing EQ for you on a $10 laptop using VNC over a high latency connection so they can power level you then you're already 90% of the way there to boxing anyway.

I'll add if GMs were bros they would ban the PL account and leave the newb account alone if it's questionable but who knows what they saw. The laptop trackpad and buttons thing is real though. I know I was good enough even with that problem though to easily pass the test.

so um guys, like um,*the player, who i don't know, who totally wasn't being boxed by me; power leveled me and also binded his up down left right arrow keys to something else, and that's why i... err he failed the boxing test on the laptop i know he played on but am not sure who he is

Out of curiosity is it actually true that laptop track pads get disabled when using keyboard keys? Is there not a setting on the laptop to change that if you want to?

Just curious because if you can’t turn that situation off then perhaps there is an argument for using a different boxing test

Yes. This is a modern feature on most laptops/operating systems to prevent accidental clicks.

also because RnF is the correct place to go to get a boxing ban overruled and/or the methods with which boxing is confirmed to be seriously discussed. this will work every. single. time.
