Origin.
Basically it went like this.
I join some silly Pug so that I can get some seals(plus a possible rani KI to save time later) but they keep on getting outpopped by this giant alliance. Group leader asks how many ironclads they have left and the response is 20+.
The pug then tries to outpop em and keeps failing etc. Then out of nowhere when im about to say fuck it ( they spent the last 2 pops amusing me by trying to figure out how to macro trade 2 items at once) I see a member's HP fall to zero and some shitty <call> got used yelling at the blu to do something. Ten seconds later the blu unafks and i'm having a little laugh at the PUG for what i assumed was them actually losing an ironclad and they come barreling through with a red ironclad. Everyone gets told to blockaid because the LS is trying to curebomb people in order to gank the ironclad and the pug tries to kite. I have none of that shit and eventually get it over to a spot with a wall behind me once i have hate to straight tank it.
Then out of fucking nowhere goddamned Cujatenders and long barreled chariot start barreling over at me, the PUG is forced to kite it because of the constant mkp attempts which for some portions meant ther ewas no damage on it other than bio2. The derpy little pickup group even realizes how retarded the mkp attempts are eventually because it would have been dead faster and the ls coulda gone on to popping them after 5 minutes of me striaghttanking ironclad. The blu resorts to killing sand sweepers for TE(and probably due to links against the other members because we had to kite it around) and best of all i had rl aggro during the moments i'd stopped to straight tank where they hadn't yet managed to Zombie a NM near people and they STILL couldn't fucking manage to kill me by the time I got back.
49 minutes later the thing is finally dead.
Oh right and it turns out that the PUG ganked it from the LS but lets be honest here. If a person is afk for 10~ goddamn seconds with the thing yellow after a previous attempt to claim it when yellow while at the ??? the thing was going to depop anyway.
I had some good times fucking people last night, but all in all that story sounds like a ballin' time. Needs a kegger thrown in and yep.
wait, is that Queensmith in your SS? Cause if it is, that's the fail in your SS right there. That bitch is the worst Whm I've ever seen. I did those fail JoL/AV runs with them as my Whm and they didn't cure anyone in my pt. Infact, the only thing I remember them doing that was Whmy was using Bene at some horrible time. Like everyone over 70% Hp horrible. I think I even posted some of their /p chat when I asked for a cure they flat out said "I don't give a fuck" then 5 seconds bitched at everyone that we weren't all working together to get JoL killed.
Yellow is yellow and if you wiped at the ??? without anyone coming in long enough for it to have despawned if noone claimed while being beaten to the punch by non botters that were afk you're probably being a poor sport. I know if I wiped to something with a 5 minute repop when I popped a NM due to bad luck and another group claimed it before it despawned I at least wouldn't be trying to "steal" it or spend nearly an hour trying to mkp the group.
That only makes it more fail that they couldn't manage to kill me while i was afk tanking. And yes i know the PUG was made of fail. The ones I had checked deserved to be in the gimp thread.
.mkp
What was the ls? Don't think I saw any of them in the SS.
Spoiler: show
Was screens of this, but apparently organizing and killing NMs for atma with your own popset and charging people 50k to leech is 'Duping gil and RMT'.
Fucking Asura as usual.
He meant duping as in deceiving not duplicating
lol Malekith... feel sorry for that server.
I feel like I'm playing maplestory when I see 'shit' typed out as 'sh1t'.
fegget
Technically its liable, not slander.
super technically it's libel
Stupid super technical latin spelling![]()
As I'm uncertain as to whether I've told this tale on BG in the past, I'll just share it regardless.
Before Abyssea conquered our lives, my closest Pandemonium migrants and I added a new member to our Salvage group: a native Asuran named Malekith. The decision was not mine, but rather a result of a friend /shouting for additions to our static, which -- as you can imagine -- is almost always a recipe for disaster. I was disheartened when I learned how they'd recruited him, but supposed we'd give them a shot nonetheless.
As what was essentially policy, we wanted all our members to have and use either Skype or Ventrilo (the latter being preferred, especially since we had our own paid server), and Malekith eventually figured out how to make this work -- for the longest time, he could only listen, and never really perfected the whole "using a microphone" thing. Most of the time, we got along well enough, but he was always a bit... paranoid.
Well, one day, while he was on -- if I remember correctly -- Red Mage of all things, he was kiting during Brainjack, and his HP wasn't the best. Coming dangerously close to dying, he suddenly -- and I assure you, this is not an exaggeration -- screamed like a little girl over Vent, "OH MY GOD DO YOUR JOB AND CURE ME!"
I couldn't help but burst into laughter, and I didn't just keep it private, later. When the boss was dead (I honestly don't remember nor care whether he actually died while kiting or not, especially since he was a fucking Red Mage), I started joking about screaming like a scared kid over Vent, even doing a whiny imitation of "OH MY GOD DO YOUR JOB AND CURE ME".
He signed off Vent without a word, and didn't really talk to us much at all after that. I often made fun of Asurans, knowing it irritated him. Our group eventually dissolved as interest in Salvage waned, and the one item he got from his time with us -- Morrigan's Robe -- is something he apparently full-timed near forever. Only recently has he, I believe, established a reasonable grasp on how to gear adequately, but he has no friends, as ascertained by his endless /shouts in Port Jeuno.
Everything he does -- just as it was in the case of our Salvage group -- is via /shout pick-up groups. No one, apparently, can stand him long enough for anything else.
