Some Questions About the UN and Federation

[Trexller]

Well you gotta realize, well adjusted people don't spend 18 hours a day playing a 20 year old game.

For the most part, well adjusted people don't play eq at all.

We're all batshit crazy.

[Phaezed-Reality]

cant wait until red 2.0, lot less complaining. never has an mmorpg server fostered a more crybaby atmosphere than blue p99 servers. the staff and playerbase have fostered it. We are all 30+ males. The fuck is wrong with all of you.

[Convict]

some servers were softer than others in 1999, the rathe had a rotation going between the top 4-5 guilds or so well into velious

Only thing I know is I've got a Federal Corvette. Keep staring at those walls while i stare into the abyss of a black hole at an obscure corner of an unknown galaxy.

Nerds.

TMO's period of dominance was about 2 years - not 5. TMO pretty quickly fell apart after staff outlawed VP train wars and its core largely quit. I feel like that was early 2014, but I'm not sure now. TMO rose to dominance in late 2011 / early 2012.

I think now about how TMO was and how the staff allowed them to be, and then I consider Seal Team and their willingness to give up competing on lots of stuff, and their willingness to subject themselves to the rules created in the UN (in which the Federation has made numerous attempts to stack votes in their favor, including trying to sign up a friendly guild behind their back that didn't even want to join), and it makes me think that a lot of raiders don't know how bad they could have had it. I've never seen a top guild so reasonable and willing to compromise, so willing to quickly concede when they know they screwed up (instead of lawyerquesting everything), and to ask for reasonable concessions when another guild/force is in the wrong. Couple that with the Federation and how they fight (lawyerquest) tooth and nail when they are clearly in the wrong, present embarrassing ignorance of fundamental game mechanics when attempting to defend their shenanigans, and seem more interested in getting Seal Team in trouble than actually improving the raiding landscape - and I'm surprised that Seal Team is willing to cooperate at all.

This is utter nonsense. Someone JUST quoted the stat that ST has had 11 of the 16 total raid petitions. I struggle to recall more than one or two concessions they've made since the teal merger vs. the ones they've forced on Fed which seem to be one a week at this point in Fear. There's only one guild in the UN who are lawyerquest pros, you're right on one thing the rest of the guilds are complete newbs to that facet of P99 raid scenes and it shows.

You know, anyone can just go in the green UN discord and observe...

Just looking it over, seems like you are right though, this "Federation" is worse at lawyerquest than at actual raiding. Hard to believe, but true. It seems like they lose most cases, on either side, just like they do on competitive dragons.

So? ST fucks up less than the Federation.

adding "questing" as a suffix to a word makes you cool and makes the other person super owned

Velious helps on blue right now mostly on quakes. The farther the windows get spread out the more it benefits the biggest guild.

People losing to ST now don't understand that more targets ends up meaning you just lose more times in succession as the dominant guild camps one window after the next. The smaller and/or more casual guilds burn out on tracking/socking windows that they mostly lose anyway or can't field a force for at 3AM....morale sinks lower and lower, you lose more people to the dominant guild, new recruits have to be retrained to sock/track/attempt FTE...rinse/repeat while getting only scraps.
