I am making this thread to warn any Free Companies/Statics who might be seeing this player apply in the near future. I will list all the necessary information to identify him at the bottom of the post.
Background: This player applied to my FC in the past 36 hours. We are currently seeking a BRD for my static and he provided a strong application with experience in Turn 13, so we were inclined to trial him. He server transferred after the Team Speak interview went well and was able to make our raid for today's reset. We gave him a trial which was supposed to last for 2-3 weeks.
My stupid mistake: I had a long history in FFXI so I saw my share of scumbags, however, my FC has yet to have any kind of serious loot incident aside from an argument or two. We had laxed up on giving loot to trials because we wanted them to obtain items for their time and it was also supposed to serve to gear them up should they become a permanent member assuming they did well on their trial.
We never had an issue with it until today, but again, that is entirely my fault. I am merely making this warning so that others might not need to deal with what happened to us.
What happened: We got our first T13 kill with a sub BRD from inside the FC, so we were looking to gear up another BRD quickly to make sure we could kill it without a relative struggle the next time we went in. My officers and I had decided to take a chance on him and give him the tomestone from T11 and the sands from T12.
He went to "upgrade his weapon" and then we popped into Turn 13. We told him to put on the weapon before we pulled, and that's when he told us he needed a second to rearrange his gear. When he took more than 30 seconds to put it on I basically knew we had been had, and so did most of my group. I was streaming at the time and recorded him as he suddenly disconnected from both the game and Team Speak. Obviously, he has not logged on the game since and is most likely waiting for his 3 day server transfer cooldown to come up so he can move and name change.
He did send me some PM's later on Guildwork saying that he had a "RL emergency" and that he needed to leave. But given he didn't disconnect until we told him to put on the weapon I assume this was just a tactic he used to try to stall or get us to not report him in some fashion.
PMs alleging why he had to disconnect:Spoiler: show
In Conclusion: tl;dr - New guy we decided to give a Cabontwine to on his first raid with us disconnected and pulled one over on us. It's my fault for letting it happen, and I know that. Just figured I'd put this out there in case he tries to pull a fast one on anyone else.
