Oh god, Herculesone. I troll'd him so hard during his Tojil Alliance spam. Had one of my LS newbies ask him about his "service." Hercaleez1 asked for upfront payment of 5M just for the party invite while still in the city.
So yeah, anyone with half a brain on Shiva has already blacklisted this fool. I haven't done it yet due to the entertainment value I get by trolling him. But I will blacklist this asswipe as soon as trolling him is no longer fun.
I was told he once organized an abyssea cleave party, requesting payment up front (which would have been something like 500-800k per player)... a bunch of people actually obliged him, and once he collected a ton of gil, he disbanded the party and went along his merry little way.
If this is true, I'm shocked he's not banned yet. Aren't GMs pretty harsh on people who scam / don't honor their agreements? Regardless, I make it a point to call him out on every time I seem him shouting for something.
If anyone wants to get their money back, they need to have a clearly written-out agreement, for one, and for another, they must actually report the scammer. I imagine that a surprising amount of people simply say they're interested, wait for an invite, and then walk up to the scammer and hand them their Gil, and a GM can't do anything about that. An implied agreement isn't good enough.
I was against posting in this thread, but on this one I couldn't resist:

Aside HQ skirmish staff the set contained:
Staff strap
Phantom tathlum
Lemegeton Medallion +1
Insomnia earring
Antivenom earring
Ixion cloak
Mahatma cuffs
Serket ring
Zircon ring
Errant cape
Hierarch belt
Hagondes pants
Orvail souliers
This guy don't deserve to wear this staff lol.
1) It's a downgrade staff from a joke-tier event.
2) How is he wearing two backpieces?
3) FFXI confirmed for gameboy color.
Think you just need to turn SuperSampling on in Windower.
I apologize for the necrobump, but this SAM I'm about to do an SKC20 with is worthy of reviving this thread. I applaud him/her for finally upgrading some AF but geez....get some better stuff please! Oh, and just having the JSE 119 GK doesn't really help.

That extra space between STR+3 and "Double Attack" annoys me.
Why does every gimp player have the most appropriately stupid linkshell name?
Because anime.
I'm wondering why a ring that only has 3 str and 1 DA needed a +2 slow to make it even worse
I expect my mule to show up here when I finish my Spharai in a couple of weeks lol. Still in full time sparks gear! Can't get the fucker into anything cause gimp mnk is his only job lol
Guy has been trying for weeks to clear that shark...
Spoiler: show
think the real fail here is that someone actually paid 1m for a tojil clear
Is it too hard to decline politely?
For a surprisingly large amount of people, yes.
I do enjoy being an asshole every now and then, but only if someone has earned it. Being an asshole all of the time is not only exhausting, but irritating. That, and it ruins the comedy. You can't make people laugh at dickishness if you're predictable.
To be fair, though, I presume that Lyramion has interacted with this person before, and that their ire isn't unprecedented. It isn't as if their assuming acceptance of the offer and then inviting them isn't shitty, either.
(Also, I would have totally taken that 200k, but I'm easy.)
I actually try to be as little of a dick as possible in game. In an ever smaller growing community a good reputation is an important commodity to have.
However as Kohan said I ran into him before few weeks ago when I actually tried to help out his Hennetiel run with Strategy and Tips and instead got met with rudeness, got "bro'd" and tried to bully me into his failrun.
If it were me, I'd have made him get on Vent and sing this for the entire duration of the run (and if he stopped, I'd just warp out of the run and let him do it himself)
I'd also be streaming
