Plus no one remembers the good things people do, people focus on the negative.

Also, remove that tinfoil hat before it becomes part of your anatomy. No one is going into your vent to disrupt your raids. Bush didnt knock down the towers. TMO didn't pay off Amelinda. Barack Obama isnt a secret Kenyan Muslim.

Get over it.

A lot of us were in the "top guild" back when it actually mattered and meant something. This is a nostalgia server, pushing every situation to ad nauseum extremes just makes you look like desperate losers. And Amelinda was in your pocket. Any question of this can easily be answered by the VP incident where adriana and getsome had the entire TMO raid trained into oblivion for 5 fucking hours and she just appears and bans them in a no rules zone so you could CR. Not the only incident, just the most blatant one.

And yes, I know the individual in TMO that initiated a digital attack on our ventrilo server. Given its crude and amateur nature it has been overlooked this one time. If any future digital attacks happen, expect retribution. This is the only comment/warning that will occur on the topic.

FTE works fine.

Common Sense works better.

Nice response bro. Do me a favor and look up reductive reasoning on the internet. FTE is fucking stupid, just like the title of this thread states. It makes raid mob engagements even more tied to rule lawyering and stupid bullshit than 15 on spawn did, and even that rule was not good.

I realize being a GM on a server with so many awful people probably gives you a pretty jaded outlook but honestly, just because it is minimal effort on your part doesn't mean it is a good policy for the long term. Sad truth is this server is a big deal to a lot of people. I think some serious reform is needed in the amount of GM's, their general policies, and the rulesets as a whole that the server abides by. How many have quit due to these "works fine" rulings that have been used to screw people over so many times?

I'M GONNA TELL MY MOMMY IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, YOU JUST WAIT!!

No wonder you are the ones getting stomped on in competition.

I am pretty sure all he is saying is that TMO can behave like cockbags inside game and win at it because, well, there are very few people who will go to the lengths that TMO will go for pixels and in-game notoriety. TMO will not win, however, if they take this behavior outside of the game because its success relies to a large extent on the fact that people are not willing to put in such effort or go to such lengths in-game; outside of game dynamics are quite different - many people take real life far more seriously, and the repercussions for acting like TMO are far more serious as well.

'Expect retribution' is a warning to not take it to this level. You guys can be the rulers of the emu-server all you want - you are not and you will never be anywhere close to this in real life. If Taelara or anyone else does this shit again, expect that it is returned tenfold not just on the individual but the guild as a whole. It has nothing to do with anyone's ability to compete in-game, and you have to be a fucking moron to interpret it this way.

Bomb any vent's lately, or was that a one time thing?

Careful.

I've been literally told that "common sense doesn't apply to these situations" by some of the people here.

I'd mail them a toaster if I was confident they'd jump in a tub with it.
