No problem with you bards until tonight, what you guys should understand.

Not sure if they just like arguing or what, but it's pretty crazy how emotional Kenzar/others are getting over this.

If you've played on the server for any amount of time you probably have noticed that, while most people are very cool on p99 and many are much cooler than you would normally have run into on live, the server is simultaneously infested with a large contingent of complete nutsacks. All servers have them, but p99 has a disproportionately high percentage of lamer poons to the overall population than would have been found on live.

These types of people often have a sociopathic tendency towards rationalizing publicly why their unacceptable behavior is acceptable. After years of putting up with these stooges, the need to respond on the part of those of us who really like the server and want to see it do well and be a good place to play is sometimes there, yes.

Bard kiting? Root a mob, or get an enc to cast Blanket of Forgetfulness.

Problem solved.

Zone monopolization is against the rules, it doesn't matter what zone it is, whose lawyering the rules, or whatever else the fuck you guys can think of. If one person's actions can actively restrict/prevent a zoneful of outdoor people (because someone might not actually want/have the time to sit and crawl Lguk) then that qualifies as monopolization.

What 'monopolization' rules are you referring to? I can't seem to find them. The only rule I can find seems to state that you cannot claim outdoor pathing mobs. Can you point out the monopolization rule for me? Thanks!

Not going to look for it again, check the thread. Sirken has stated before that zone monopolization, claiming multiple camps, etc is against server rules.

Claiming multiple camps is indeed against the rules, but again, if there is a written rule about 'zone monopolization' you should link it. I cannot find it.

If the official rule is 'a post Sirken made at some point' then somebody needs to update the already established list of rules.

I've already quoted and linked the post in this thread.

Ok, I found it. Thanks.

We need our 'Server Rules' post updated if one GM is going to change the server rules and expect everybody to have seen the post he made at some point. Because isn't Sirkin basically saying, 'If you don't see any mobs around and spot a bard with a HUGE train, just petition, as that bard is breaking the rules of monopolizing a zone'.

Am I missing something? It seems like it would be extremely hard to enforce the 'monopolizing zones' rule. This just goes against what is established as the rules and even against what many people here seem to believe the rules are. The fact is, the server rules specifically state that you can't claim outdoor roaming mobs and there is no mention of 'monopolizing zones' which seems difficult to even prove. I personally can't check on all mobs to see if they are ALL up at any given time. It takes time to run to the other side of the zone and see if those mobs are even up. I just don't quite get how we, as players, can determine when a zone is 'monopolized'.

As I said above, I can only interpret the rules as saying 'start petitioning anytime there aren't mobs to pull near you and you see a bard kiting in a zone'. It just seems like 'when is a zone monopolized' is a difficult question for both player and GM to answer.

Explain what "camps" there are in Overthere?

I'm going to roll a bard right now because of you babies.

There are no 'camps' in The Overthere. The server rules state that you cannot claim outdoor roaming mobs. I was only trying to find out where people got this 'zone monopolization is against the rules' part that doesn't seem to be stated anywhere in the official rules(yet people are claiming that is the rule).
