PnP rules are't working too well. Some problems/clarification

You were one of those who just logged in for DKP day, nothing else to help people.

It is easy to talk about taking it easy when you have every item you want right now. We will see how that attitude changes when you are denied new loot you want.

That is when you will see the real Checkraise come out.

I was at probably almost every single Epic Fight there was for guildies. I was part of the crew helping farm Chardok Faction. I made 75%+ of every single piece of Hoshkar / Nexona jewelry, etc., that the core now uses. I was one of the few people who were ever willing to give my items that were upgraded for free to people who needed. I burnt thousands and thousands of plat on Midnight Mallets during my free time. I could go on and on, but the truth is you'll just respond saying "not true blah blah." That's fine, that's actually quite normal it's what we call: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias"

"Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses."

So, since you once witnessed me perhaps not help with something, you've established that as your belief. Ok then, that's fine.

As far as loot, 1) it's impossible to cock block in Velious for a variety of reasons, but chiefly because there is no new content EVER coming out on Project 1999 after Velious This content will not be monopolized forever. 2) There are tons of options for progression in Velious, be it Dozekar / Tormax / PoG / PoM / Planes 2.0 / Dain / ToV, etc. If you think you'll simply stroll into ToV and just plow everything with no PVP then you're mistaken. Many fights are 15+ minutes in duration. There will be far more competition. 3) I don't play for loot, I play to see others have fun and progress. 4) If you think Velious is a way for me to gear myself, then you're mistaken. To me, a guild leader should always come last, to avoid any accusations of impropriety.

In closing, I've probably helped more people on this server than almost anyone. I hate saying it like that because it sounds pompous and conceited, and I don't help people to puff my chest out, but if someone is going to come at me and claim otherwise, then I'll certainly respond. Your contribution to the server has been logging on for several hours a week, hitting auto attack, and logging off. Congratulations on your accomplishments, and I hope they carry over for you to the next game you embark on in a year or two, when this server will surely die as there is nothing else coming on the horizon for Project 1999.

I don't think many people grasp that this project is coming to a certain end, and it's sooner rather than later. If people would relax a bit, perhaps they could enjoy it a bit more. For those who rush to reach the top of the mountain as quick as possible, it will only mean your retirement will be sooner. I don't find zerging things down in Velious with potentially 70+ people exciting. I did Velious when it was current, with mid 30's numbers, and it was thrilling. Alas though, that's why Project 1999 will always be pretty "meh" compared to live. This is a game meant to be played with thousands of people concurrently, and here we play it with often fewer than a hundred.

I hardly play at all so don't worry. The little time I do log on I have tune bug my corpse so I can't loot it and watch Nihilum grief the new players in the guild I'm in.

I want this server to thrive man and blossom. PNP is a step in the right direction but as top guild of the server you dudes have some obligations to hold back and not grief people trying to grind and gear up to your level. I have new players send me tells daily thanking me for calling out the bitches that grief them. I'm just being the peoples voice because I don't care about my rep here. Like I said earlier I just want this server to be the best it can be.

I defend HB because I've personally seen this guy log in and cleric BP heal groups everyday now. He helps put groups together, lends loot to people that need it and generally a pretty cool guy.

Maybe he used to be a disease but now he's actually a legit dude.

Seen the same thing. HB is a saint leading casuals to the pixel promised land.

Tune is just mad that he can no longer corpse camp lvl 52 planar raids until the casuals either quit the server or app Nihilum. The PNP worked perfectly when we were wiped in Hate last night allowing us to cr in an orderly fashion after being wiped.

For people reading this thread not named Checkraise, just keep in mind he is one of the most dangerous people on the server. He will tell you one thing and convince you but will do the opposite behind your back. He plays for his own selfish gains. Little things will leak if you pay close attention but be careful. You wont find out about it until it is too late.

Keep this in mind, you have been warned.

Perfect example of why I find you to be what I would call a "faggot." You can't just enjoy this game and have a friendly rivalry or what not. For some reason, my guess would be some sort of lack of fulfillment in real life, you have a need to try to take it to the next level. I understand what you're trying to do here. You believe that perhaps you can cast me as a nefarious villain in hopes that because of your guilds disdain for me (not shared throughout I might add), that maybe someone else will take over Red Dawn or something and you can fist pump and go "YAW WE GOT HIM GUYS WE FINALLY GOT HIM!"

If I left this server, Red Dawn would die. It's really not even a question. There's literally no one on this server willing to put in the time to build a guild and everything that goes with it. Nihilum knows this, which is why they work so hard to discredit me at every turn, and have brought in their new playbook of "just convince people to get rid of Checkraise and we will stop griefing them." I admire your perseverance and determination to "get me," but I'm afraid you are quite misinformed about the server, which stems from the fact that you've only seen it from one perspective.

Of course, I could question you for "prof" of why I'm "dangerous" (have I killed someone or assaulted them?), and you'll respond with more vague comments meant only to create distrust and suspicion rather than provide factual information. You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing from the Saul Alinsky book of propaganda. Perhaps you'll just repeat some prior discredited stories, knowing that maybe, just maybe, it will be some innocent ForumQuest browser's first post they read. Or maybe, more likely, you'll be convincing no one other than yourself and your pals, while looking like someone who is just a wee bit too immersed in EverQuest politics to everyone else.

tl;dr - Chill the fuck out

I heard Nihilum awards extra dkp if you buy the leadership a new computer and recently lost additional members who were banned for RMT.

Nihilum is VERY protective of mobs that drop pixels they don't even need anymore. Always wondered why....?

Honestly I read all of your post like I read a speech from a politician, 90% lies 10% truth.

I have zero problems with almost everyone in Red Dawn, I was even willing to overlook your lies as leader in the beginning when you first said what you wanted to do. However almost everything you say you want to do as a guild as been a lie. You let the worst scum on this server be in your guild or allied with your guild. You ress people and then kill them for no reason. You break agreements.

If Red Dawn were to kick you and all ex azrael and one of the current officers were to take over I would call for sharing of some dragons right away.

That is impossible.. We fully gear people out in 90 days normally. About 30-45 days to get full member and then 30-45 more days to get everything you could need except the extremely rare stuff.

We reward people generously. It has burned us in the past but we still do it.
