The pic was to make light of the situation. I know the truth, and eventually they will too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hope so [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but my comments were more to Kinadarra and not you.

Hey, I agree Serkin is one of the Best GM's we have had no doubt in a LONG time. But this big brother is looking over your shoulder stuff is a bit scary for me.

I am all most 66 years old. Have done and seen things you don't want to know about. Been in Vietnam, guns and knifes, and in more than a few Bar fights, guns and knifes, a few Marriages, knifes, etc and I am not fond of just any Joe Blow throwing people under the bus trust me. I have been playing this game since 2000. And IT IS A GAME. Nobody is going to die, nobody is going to jump off the roof, or lose their job etc. I have been on P1999 for close to 2 years now and have over 700 posts and this is just a stupid thread as far as I am concerned. Quit being a RAT and play the game and help others out like I have tried. Life is short trust me. Try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It could be you down the road.

i could get my wife to take a pic with a sign too. not saying you were boxing but a pic is hardly proof other than you have a significant other. good luck and hopefully you arent a boxing scumbag.

Samwise, normally I like you and appreciate what you have to say. This is one of those rare opportunities where I feel I must disagree with you.

I seriously doubt this person is boxing, and I am must assure that they are just gaming normally. It's unfortunate, but with the technology that is currently available to us you really must suspend your moronic vendetta and let this couple play.

Unfortunately, even if they are the same person (I don't believe you are, and I apologize for all of this trouble), you need to prove so before the people can be affected by your evidence.

Honestly, if Samwise allows himself to be affected by such "who cares, 3rd party" players, then they have already won. Samwise; if you ever ask me, I would never lie to you. Nihilum made popcorn and invited no one else; are you surprised? Everyone knows that N is the bad guy; they exploit and cheat as they need to advance.

Also I am drunk, so if anything happens or matter please remember that I am inebriated.

Not saying there was boxing going on but it has been getting bad lately. It would be very tempting, if my wife played or w/e, to use her char to port/buff/heal me as well. I dont have an exemption nor does my wife play just saying people dont think they will get caught and do. Obviously something seemed off or the GM's wouldnt have bothered them. I know this because ive grouped with couples on blue for hours with no problems. if they werent boxing, i hope they get their exemption back, if they were i hope he/she just mans up and faces judgement.

sorry i dont give everyone the benefit of a doubt.

i feel anyone that posted in this thread should owe me roughly 35 seconds, form a line to the left.

that said, we do not suspend or ban people on a whim. if you were suspended, we had a reason to do so. every staff member has to make a thread every time they ban or suspend a player, so that I or another staff member can look up the situation.

now, i noticed two sets of players crying that they were suspended. i have no doubts in the world that these people have wives that play EQ. that being said, players need to be aware of their situations as well. on the off chance that ALL of our detectors were giving false positives (near impossible, but whatever) i still like to send a tell. if you /q out, or, if you fail to respond to me for a few minutes, i have no choice but to assume that the time delay is due to nothing more than the husband running off to get his wife to sit at the computer.

having a wife and an exemption does not mean that if your wife doesnt feel like playing you get to 2box until a GM /tells you (at which time you go to get your wife).

also, believe it or not, how I treat players is based on how they treat the staff.

lastly - petition forum. if u want to discuss something, you need to make a petition. contrary to popular belief, nothing we read in the server chat or rnf is taken too seriously.

In my experience Sirken has been great. Certainly far better than Amelinda.

Also I would like to point out that boxing is classic. It makes me just a little bit sad that boxing isn't allowed, because if it was I would use MQ to write some scripts. Everquest is pretty repetitive and ripe for automation; I think it would be a fun challenge to have scripts so that I could box 50+ characters while sitting back and playing general. Oh my god the neckbeards on the pvp server would hate me.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I think Sirkens one of the best GM's this server has to offer. With that being said, I do have a question for you Sirken. Is it possible by any stretch of the imagination that you decide to pop people with these tasks to verify themselves not AFK during say, autofollow'ing my gf to another place in the zone as I got to the restroom?

The scenario I'm playing out in my head is you've watched us for about 30 mins, and due to the autofollowing and little interaction from her shaman makes you decide to ask us both to do tasks as Im off using the restroom while autofollowing her. So obviously not going to see your tell right away, and quite possibly could result in a ban before I ever get back to my keyboard? (my gf is pretty lazy, rarely looks at chat even when we do play together I normally inform her of anything group says that is relevant) - this is also something that worries me if we were ever to have such situation.

What it really sounds like is that the staff makes you run in circles, do this and that while the other is doing something different or answering questions. And if we don't dance to your liking it will end up in a ban?

Its sad others have to ruin it for people like us who duo legitimately and thus force the staff to harass legit players.
