Raid rules suggestion

[rioisk]

I say make it a FFA. May the best guild win.

If you don't see any differences between those two situations then you are dumber than your thread makes you seem.

I've used larger words in this thread than you have in your entire life [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is no difference in these situations, the end sum is the same. You can twist whatever logic you want into the grey area to make it seem like it's totally different but at the end of that night what it came down to was the current set of rules being un-respected and shifted to benefit one party over another.

If I were a GM I would've given out chestplates of sad exploitation and dropped both raid forces in the middle of OOT, neither party deserved loot, and neither party deserved a re-pop because no one there showed any sign of compromise or mutuality.

As for you and your guild:

In my honest opinion quit trying to be a Afterlife/FoH/LoS clone guild it doesn't suit you well because you don't have the balls to pull of some of the things they did without crying petition, you want FFA so you can be ultra-dominant but the moment you get trained to oblivion, have mobs bugged, or in the future having people drop glowing black swords/velium swiftblades on raid targets you're going to be suckling a GM's teet for vindication.

First, allow me to remind you that you guys are fighting over 10-year-old content on an emu server that, quite frankly, could be shut down at any point by Sony's legal team.

How can it be shut down if the server has not violated their EULA , They do not charge for service, and sony has our money from purchasing the client side software?

I have a thought:

Since this is all for funsies and whatnot, why not just jack the spawn rate for these high end mobs? Crank that shit up to 11 to allow more attempts by more guilds. Couple this with a very simple and easy calendar system and you're pretty much squared away.

The calendar system worked wonders for KTF on Prexus. And there were minimal complaints.

From http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/83055/page/4

"Trademark rights can come from a number of game elements. Titles are the most obvious, but trademark rights can arise from well-known characters (e.g., MASTER CHIEF), settings (SAN ANDREAS), and even game items (ASHBRINGER). If the emulator continues to use EQ terminology, they may run into trademark problems." Even though the emulator does not compete with the original EQ game, Monahan notes that Sony could assert its trademark rights in the well-known EQ franchise including EQ2 and other EQ merchandise. "Even without direct sales of emulator accounts, the project faces brand problems, because trademarks protect against consumer confusion as to sponsorship and affiliation. It is not hard to expect consumers to believe that the emulated EQ game does not have the sponsorship or approval of Sony."

This was one good thing about Rallos Zek. If your guild was having issues with another guild, you could just go and stomp them while they were pulling inny or cazic and be done with it.

You mean how Salty and crew got a ban for KSing Transcendance, and IB didn't get a slap on the wrist and got a free draco re-pop?

Iron fist ruling isn't fair ruling, there is no tribunal of players who get to decide what happens we don't take a democratic vote so it is in no way legit or honest. GM's can waiver on a case to case basis and depending on their mood be draconic or be downright showing favoritism, we can't keep this in check so it should NOT be by all means "iron fisted"

If you couldn't tell my post was tongue-in-cheek with threats of leaving flaming bags of dog poo on people's real life doorsteps, you might be functionally retarded. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Come on, now.

However, there's something to be said for deterrence...
