This is standard practice here on the P99 forums!

Phragmar, with each post it seems you care more about lording your supposed moral and philosophical superiority over us than you do the community's health.

Your earlier post suggested that I had or would develop mental issues because of my position, so I'm sure it seems a lot of things. Let me spell it out though. With each subsequent post, I don't care about lording anything--what exactly do I have to lord? What is moral superiority? What is happening, however, is that I'm losing my patience, and as much as I believe in treating people with dignity, I do not believe in being a doormat.

That said, it looks like aside from a handful, the only people left in this thread are people who want to make personal attacks, flame, or call names because they feel like their guild membership obliges them, if for any reason at all.

Bubbles, I've articulated my position, several times and in several different ways. People who genuinely disagree and have a basis for it have articulated theirs; just because none of us immediately change our minds doesn't mean we don't appreciate constructive contributions to the discourse, and just because I don't respond to every criticism doesn't mean I didn't read it. I'm not defending my dissertation here; I'm having a conversation with strangers on the internet. Your previous posts have been hyperbole, mis-attribution, and editorializing meta-discussion; I'm sure you understand why I'm not taking your criticism seriously.

You've backtracked and jumped ahead rather eloquently.

Bottom line is this:

If you wanted a legit discussion on the matter, you would have presented the situation as a hypothetical.. Gotten a couple links to server camp rules... Gotten a couple cute ancedotes about personal experiences. And the thread would have died quickly and you would have been quickly forgotten.

Instead, you plasted a guild name to it, put the blood into the water, and lit off an inevitable shitstorm that got a zillion times bigger than whatever (lost) point you were trying to make, or answer you were searching for. Your method of bringing the topic to light damned the conversation before it even began.

Solid troll, though, i do give you props.

Phrag, on your ride to 50 take it slow and enjoy the game. Based on what you have stated in this thread you would hate this server as a raider. Take it slow and enjoy the fantastic gift the devs have given us.

lol why do you keep trying to talk sense into the guy? A very wise man once said "You can't fix stupid". He was right you know

[YendorLootmonkey]

Eh... he's not stupid. He just has somewhat unrealistic expectations for the community of a MMORPG that is based on risk/reward and progress being proportional to time invested. There's nothing really more to say because no one is going to change their minds here. Just wish our guild hadn't been drug through the mud for playing by the rules.

I'm gonna go play WoW, where the community is mature!

Wait...

Fuck. This. Thread.

[Mcbard]

Lol an entire thread of VD* trolling somebody because he called a group of you douchebags for jacking some other players (not even his) camp when he died, which is laughable, and acting offended because he "uses semi-colons" and "big words"? Fucking eh, you all sure proved him wrong, rofl.

Enjoy the game and server phrag, I've enjoyed it so far! There's good and bad people in every guild on all games and all servers. Don't sweat the small stuff! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*yes I'm aware you're not all VD but the vast majority of posts that can be summarized as "Wall-of-text-leave-vd-alone!" are.
