First DaySummary
We win multiple claims and post-zenmetsu claims vs Japanese LS GGxxEExxHH. They begin to snap back with insuring themselves a turbo voke war on Fafnir, an MPK attempt, and false accusations that we ignore random rules. It's BS.
But read it anyway.
Nidhogg pops within 2-3 minutes of the servers undergoing very heavy stress and kicking almost every person, including JP. The LS consisting of 3 JP LSes that teams up wins the claim on Nidhogg. All LSes there run around and wait. Most leave because they think the 3 LSes have it under control, but we remained patient. GGxxEExxHH or w/e died and we won the claim and killed Nidhogg.
Second Day.
Fafnir pops and we win claim. Yes, Xavier won the claim over the 3-4 NA LSes there as well as GGxxEExxHH or w/e. We kill it and from future events, I guess GGxxEExxHH got really pissed off that they lost a claim to a gaijin, even one who got us all almost killed before by miss voking a darter.
Third Day
Before the pop times, GGxxEExxHH clears darters so that they can use their connection to guarantee themselves the claim with 150-200ms faster server response. Whenever we have won claim - whether it be NA (3 times: Malign, Mitzki, Xavier) or JP (a few more times) it's because of the concentration and luck required to pull among the darters. In response, we kill the next set of darters strategically so that hopefully they pop a few seconds before Fafnir does. I don't see how this is any less ethical than their clearing - we were both using the darters intelligently to both of our advantages. Moreover, Winona, an RDM from GGxxEExxHH casted poison on a darter that went unclaimed, leaving it unsleepable and hitting Lito. He called this RDM on MPK and her response:
There's nothing more convincing of a willful attempt to try to MPK us with our own darters. In my opinion this is where either of the LSes began to act unscrupulously. A lot of says followed in which GGxxEExxHH 'apologized' for MPKing, while Winona insisted that she had just gotten back from AFK, and that poison was a miss. Bullshit. So was the "^^" I guess? They started the crap, they couldn't take ONE claimed Fafnir vs NAs (whereas we have taken double digits' worth in stride vs JPs) so they had to stoop to this crap. Anyway, they kept voking after we had timed a kill, they got 1 darter, they still got Fafnir with a Darter blocking their spam (guess they didn't need to clear them huh?) and they died. Seeing Namie say "Flail" was pretty comforting, and for the hell of it, it served them right. We went back, pulled it, and won. And killed it.
Fourth day.
We decide to do KB over Nidhogg despite Fafnir window being one hour earlier, because we want KB more, but we saw Fafnir had popped. Lain's LS won the initial claim, got Darters, and died. After that GGxxEExxHH, Anbu, and BG were there. Anbu went with a lot of people, put up a pretty good fight, but couldn't get it rolling and ended up getting flailed. At this point:
**No random offer had been made by ANY LS there to us**
GGxxEExxHH had maybe 10 or less people there and was NOT ready to pull (this is proven by later events). We judged them to be not ready as they had 2 PLD/WHM tanks(???) and had not said anything about random.
Fafnir was unclaimed.
So we pulled. We had a rough start, and Fafnir did a 90 degree and almost spike flailed. He didn't, but it was still otherwise insanely hard at the beginning. I would estimate it took us 30 minutes or more to get it to 60%. Around 60% HP, Fkai began asking in tell why we didn't random. Ed, while tanking mega Fafnir (I don't know how to explain it, maybe the previous LSes pissed it off), talked in say for about 40 minutes from 60% to death saying "You guys weren't ready" "You guys didn't offer a random" "You can't not offer random before and then expect us to random after we've begun to fight," which were all true. Fkai began an insanely rude rant about how we disregard the rules (as if randoming after the fact that they werent ready is a requirement) and saying how we were gaijins and we dont respect the rules and how other JP LSes should see we don't random.
All of Fkai's claims are lies. We have randomed so many times for NMs -every- time on KB/aspid/nidhogg where it's come to the point of multiple LSes being there who have 1) not yet zenmetsud 2) the ability to kill the NM. We've randomed with PG on multiple occassions for Fafnir or Nidhogg (but never woFn), we've just recently randomed with SekaixLS and Anbu for KB, we one time randommed with Taiki's LS for KB a long time ago, and won, but uchino didn't zenmetsu. We respect common HNM etiquette and that is proven by history. Ask PG, ask Sekaix, ask Wayfarer, ask Anbu. GGxxEExxHH (or w/ewwwww) just seems pissed that they were unable to kill yet another Fafnir, although they've done it multiple times before, as if those weren't enough.
It's unfortunate that Ed was the only line of communication between us and them, and that now they all say "i hate ed" and "ed's LS is unethical," but it's bs. I guess this statement won't help much since they're mainly targetting JP LSes to try to ruin our reputation, but other NA LSes should be careful if they're competing with GGxxEExxHH. They cannot take a loss without some sort of sour retaliation as is proven by 1) Their attempt to turn Fafnir into a turbo voke war to be guaranteed the claim within 99% of all probability, 2) Their attempt to MPK us when we were trying to counteract their darter clearing with our darter clearing 3) Their attempt to call a random AFTER not having called a random before we went, and AFTER we had fought Fafnir for 25 or more minutes.
