72 hour lockout on re-adding yourself to the list after getting an AC Ring?

Decent compromise to thwart mindless farming and unclog the list a little bit?

I'd say a 1-week lock out seems fair.

Who needs more than 1 JBoots a week?

I'm half tempted to build a web app the manage this thing, since the google doc seems to be getting somewhat abused.

Here's a couple of snippets I took from the evening in question. I wish I had taken a snap of the conversation directly with Impeaches (I like your name, btw, fwiw), but if I recall it was not much different than the one I had with Chalara, who was right before you. Sure, maybe "this list shit sucks" can be labelled "whining", but I guess we can leave it to public opinion to decide if it was that egregious or disruptive.

The other screenshot is from a nice gentleman in Kingdom, whom I reached out to regarding his opinion on the situation in real time, since Kingdom's website runs this list. Have a look at what he had to say.

BTW, Impeaches, I just re-read your post and saw that you told me to go fuck myself. You know, my gripe was never with you personally. My problem is the list itself, and my opinion from the start was that you should not have been burdened with sending dozens of tells to random strangers when you should have been on your way to go get your jboots (or sell your MQ?). That is why I offered to let you leave and maintain the list in your absence until I got my ring, since nobody else was there.

Yup. I should have just taken it... but I chose to go fuck myself. Lesson learned: nice guys finish last.

I would be very curious to see how many people on the list are from the same account. And honestly, is that really a crime? I guess it really depends whether or not the person is selling the MQ, but by putting multiple characters on the list, you increase your odds of being online when one of them gets called exponentially. You would actually be gimping yourself by not doing this, and it would be hard to blame someone for doing it.

Yeah but boxing is gay and not allowed here. The ultimate self-gimp is getting banned. Also you can't play two characters from the same account even if you are boxing, I'm sure you know this recondojoe

Who said anything about boxing? I'm saying why not constantly sign up with every single level 50 character you own? I bet half the people on the list aren't even online ATM. They don't actually check.

That is an interesting way to put it.
Normally people who are at the AC camp are pretty much in agreeance of how it happens.
If you want on the list as a "main" then your name gets added. If you want to log to an alt then your alts name gets added after your mains: Main (alt).
If none of the above main/alt is online at the moment of transfer, then it falls to the next in line.
Its that easy really..

But i guess i can write a story of how i was having trouble contacting people on the list, just to make a big story out of it. Here goes: One day when i logged on - i was camped out at AC in OoT, i saw someone at AC camp. I said "hi" and they replied "hi" back. I though "hey should i ask if i could be put on the list" and i did so. They replied back;you will be added rigth away!

I was estatic and thougth "YAY". They then offered me a list in /ooc that went like this:
/ooc "AC camp; Currently holding X; Next main(alts name); Next one(alt); me

I had nothing better to do, so i waited around. Soon enough the AC appeared, and tells was send to "next main, then next (alt)" none of them were on. Next tells went for "next one, then next ones (alts)" none of them were on. So i fell to me to take the camp.

That does not seem unfair to me. If you are on then you can get the camp, if you are there within the next 6 min 30 sec spawn. If you are not on - even if your name is on the list - then the next one takes your place?

I'm not sure why it's any different than blue, if you want on the list you should be at the camp (or at the very least come to the camp to be added then stay in the zone, online) - I was skipped twice, even though I was 100% online one of the times and was bound at AC just so I could get there.

When I inquired I was told they contacted everyone and it skipped like 45 people, which I find hard to believe.

The third time I went and sat at camp, proactively contacted the person who was #1 and made sure they knew I was online and in OOT and I finally got the ring that day.

It should 100% be like blue tho, person camping it holds list, if you want to be added you need to be online and in OOT
