[Odin] Morrow/Critical (bc)

[blah234]

His Odin name was Morrow and he moved to Valefor under the name Critical.

He said he was from LS OneThousandNeedles on Odin.

Any information on him would be appreciated.

[Bolemudile]

I've known Morrow pretty much since I started playing ffxi. Good player with endgame experience who has always been willing to help people out.

[Doofus]

You registered just to say that? suspicious. What is your name on odin? I've never heard of that one.

Anywho!

I wouldn't call 1k needles HNM experience, sure they killed fafhogg a few times but they also wiped a few, on the other hand i dont recall any personal interactions with morrow, was sort of a loner iirc.

[morrow]

I'm not going to justify Doofs by remarking about his comments about 1KN.

but doofus use FFXIAH.com as a research tool next time please.

show me where we wiped?

PS: Isn't doofus the retard who CFH on KB a few times? Yeah... I thought so.

I lead 1KN Morrow was a good guy but make him come BRD to events

[Kaeko]

I do not know the person in question nor have I ever spoken to him; however, I can tell you a bit about the LS he says he was in on Odin.

There is currently a great deal of fighting among the active NA-led king LSs on Odin - a lot of trash talk, who is better than who, etc. (your typical HNM epenis war). I would not take too seriously any person from one of those rival HNM LSs as they will be extremely biased (in a bad way) - for instance, the poster who laughed at 1kN in this thread. Just be careful who you choose to listen to on here - sometimes you ask for a background check on someone and you get responses from players who probably need a background check themselves.

The LS in question, 1kN, does do kings, but is not one of the 'haijin' LSs that camps daily or in awkward times. They have killed kings; however, they tend to be inconsistent. This could be due to LS disorganization, or more likely due to weighing out other events - I don't know you'd have to ask him. I'm sure they've wiped to some things at some point just like every other HNM LS, but they aren't like the joke of the server or anything. It's a relatively new kings LS compared to the others on Odin - never attempted Tiamat, maybe a Cerb I think. In summary, it's not a joke LS, but it's not considered top of the server either (can't fault them due to how new they are).

I think because the LS he was in was a bit newer than most, try asking questions regarding how much experience he has with things - maybe ask about very basic strategy on certain mobs he says he's fought?

Good luck with your search.

[LLK]

That's probably the best answer you could get.

And the reason we don't camp 24/7 365 is that our LS leaders / members generally have RL commitments during the day. We're not a bunch of college or highschool kids who can be on every hour for every HNM.

We camp when we can and we do pretty damn well. And we'd love a chance at Tiamat, but it's always claimed with in 20min of popping. (Atleast when my mule is out watching) And generally at 3am

We've raped some Ouryu if that helps :3

[Hex]

Morrow and I have not had much contact in the game but I will give a few things that came from a LS member that doesn't post on here and said it was ok that I posted this.

First he was part of a LS called ULdynamis or something. Anyway he was kicked from that LS as the person says for being an "idiot". Nothing too major there.

However he was also kicked from a very active social LS. The LS is known as CroxxexaminsCoejus. The LS is made up of many members from many different HNM LS. The Leader being a member of my LS and the co-leader a good friend in another LS.

The story goes that one night for no real rhyme or reason Morrow starts bashing on Jewish people. Not jokingly or in a fun tone but just being 100% racist towards them. The leader, Croxx, joins in on this after it being taken too far and tells Morrow that he is jewish himself. Well Morrow doesn't stop his sluring and even picks it up a bit. Asking Croxx various things about being jewish including what # he is, which if you can't figure it out is a take on the concentration Camps during WW2. Even after this Morrow continued to be rude and racist towards Jewish and eventually brought Concentration Camps and the rest of the events of WW2 into the picture. He was kicked from the LS promptly after being warned numerous times.

Morrow then either logged into his wife or had his wife log in and come into the LS to start more shit involving the whole ordeal. A little while after Morrow tried to apologize and get back into the social LS and when denied he just went on more racial ty raids.

After this incident I asked Morrow about it and got the same angry slurs that Croxx said he received.

Checked his gear once at a Fafnir camp and it was Comparable to a few unnamed Bards on Odin. When I asked him why he didn't wear any Ring piece and why he was wearing certain pieces that no brd would wear for any real reason. He just said that 75 brd was enough and that gear didnt matter. Just gave off that vibe that it was all about him and what he wanted to do and bettering himself for the LS wasn't worth it.

Enjoy with whatever you decide with him but this was just a little insight.

[morrow]

lol @ hex.. i wouldnt take anything this guy says to heart.. He is easily the 2nd most hated person on the server only behind the Famous Feiwong. all he does is create problems.

I mean all you have to do i scroll up 5 posts at the poster doofus and look at his Sig. (thats if he hasnt had doofus remove it already)

Kaeko is a member of TK undoubtly the best Endgame Shell on odin. he Put it very simple your going to get trolls and flames on BC checks and the best thing to do is talk to the person yourself and make judgement that way. if you want to see how reliable the comments hex will ever make on BC are? ... Do a BC check on hex and watch the posts errupt.

*edited for correct Knowladge*

[Doofus]

i'm sorry, didnt realize hex owned me, i have the same sig on our linkshell forums, he isnt as anal as people make him out to be
our LS gets things done, get out of the 'they are mean, they hurt my feelings' mentality

as for odins HNM scene, yea there is alot of talk but nothing really happens, every LS has its idiots and jackasses, some have more than others, ours has its fair share, but the majority of res are decent players/people, the last time i can remember that someone in res tried to MPK someone(azeral+FX) he did that on his own and was kicked for awhile, we dont condone MPK or stealing like everyone seems to think

PS: did you just say kaeko is the owner of TK? he has been in it forever, but i'm pretty sure he isnt the leader >.>

[Kaeko]

Kaeko is the owner of TK undoubtly the best Endgame Shell on odin.

I'm not the owner or the leader. It's a JP LS with only about 20% NAs tops; I just write a blog about TK in english.

Again, I don't know anything about the person in question, only the endgame LS scene on Odin (which one of the LSs was mentioned so I posted). The LS Hex is in and 1kN do not like each other, so there is going to be some obvious bias. I must admit though, facts are facts no matter who states them - if the guy went on a jew-bashing tyraid, the fact that it happened doesn't disappear just because the guy who said it has a lot of haters.

I'd like to think everyone is good at heart and that people just happen to have some bad days sometimes. I'm pretty sure you can always find dirt on someone if you look hard enough and they've played long enough. If he was in UL, I would try PMing Ashira about him since she's a leader in that dynamis LS. She probably would have a lot to say, although I can't say if it'll be good or bad.

Just be careful when you take advice from people you've never met. It's hard to tell who the hell is answering these background checks from other servers; it's hard to tell the biases, past histories, or if someone just happens to feel like making the guy's time online miserable even across servers. The best way to check is to find out for youself - I think as long you can you establish that the person won't like ninja lot a ridill, didn't RMT his account, and has a reasonable IQ, he's worth looking at for yourself. The risk is pretty minimal imo.

[Doofus]

Wullawulla thinks i hate jewish people for some reason, yet she cant remember what i said to make her think that, so i agree one opinion isnt enough to draw a conclusion but i'm sure we can get some more CEC members on here to confirm this story, i am being told croxx doesnt get on the internet/forum scene much, but rest assured we will find someone.

[morrow]

oh dont worry i will deal with this futile little problem right now.

(details on everything are fuzzy cause i was bombed and xping Blu in crawlers nest when this went down - keep in mind i am also jewish <not a justification just a fact>)

<Unnamed Cec member #1> blah blah blah only hebrews

(Morrows attention is grabbed)

"bunch of random party spam"

<unnamed Cec Member # 2> blah blah lol

"more pt spam"

<unnamed Cec Member #1> does blah blah aggro blah? (legit question of something)

<morrow> only hebrews lawl.

"cricket noises"

<croxx> ...

"more pt spam"

<morrow> ???

"more pt spam"

<croxx> I'm jewish

<morrow> Me too, whats your number?

... "busted linkshell" some people find humor and others find fuel for the drama train.

like i said im jewish i have a great sense of humor and I dont let shit like that bother me, well i found out the hard way croxx did.. i appologized to croxx for offending him but i sure as hell didnt take it any further than an appology.

so if all you have on me is 1 night of drunken boligerant self bashing fun .. then the world is a much safer place than i thought..

but this is very interesting how the 1KN and Ressurection hatred continues to find itself on every crevice of this game, lets continue shall we?

However he was also kicked from a very active social LS. The LS is known as CroxxexaminsCoejus.

Hex has gone completley Seniel .. CeC is not Very active lol, randomly 1-5 people on at a time .. weekends u MAY see 7-10. JP hours its 0 sometimes 1 .. Are you goofy? Now i have not been in that shell now for about 2 months so it could have gone on a Huge recruiting spree, but i doubt it.

Checked his gear once at a Fafnir camp and it was Comparable to a few unnamed Bards on Odin. When I asked him why he didn't wear any Ring piece and why he was wearing certain pieces that no brd would wear for any real reason. He just said that 75 brd was enough and that gear didnt matter. Just gave off that vibe that it was all about him and what he wanted to do and bettering himself for the LS wasn't worth it.

This i truley have to say is a made up pile of rubbish. feel free to send me a tell in game if you want to check my brd gear.. Not awsome but hardley gimp. i will admit that MNK is by far more equipped but that job is also much easier to gear up than brd. i have resspectable brd gear enought to do my job well as i slowly upgrade to the gear I need/want.

Even after this Morrow continued to be rude and racist towards Jewish and eventually brought Concentration Camps and the rest of the events of WW2 into the picture. He was kicked from the LS promptly after being warned numerous times.

Yet another piece of made up tid bit from the book hex wrote called "i create drama" Hex your not even in CeC you dont even have the facts straight.. What I entered above was as brief and Simple as that conversation got. it was maybe 1 min tops. the only part i'm missing is the blah blah blah's becasue i was intoxicated and XPing. there was no Numerous warnings, There was no added talk about concentration camps. and absolutly no talk about WW2 lol. so seriosuly hex, leave it to those that know the real story and dont make shit up for the sake of makeing shit up.. If Croxx doesnt want to come on here and Post fine, but what can he say now that the OMGthehorribletruth has been reveled. lol grow up

[Doofus]

Its ok because you are only racist when you're drunk? I see..

and if i am not mistaken hex is speaking directly to croxx for this information.

stories don't appear out of nowhere, they may get exaggerated, for instance i still meet people that think i've CFH'd every mob there is, when in fact, it was just that one KB, people hear things and add their own part to it, but my point is stories such as these, especially one with such an accusation of racism, don't appear out of thin air.

Thats all it boils down to

[blah234]

um.. guys. Only person with helpful post here is Kaeko. Please don't turn this thread into a flame war. I just want some information on Morrow and/or his previous LS OneThousandNeedles. Whether his old LS wipes to fafnir or his rival LS cfh on KB is not important. I am just looking for overall reputation of Morrow and to a lesser extent his ls.

[vagus]

Morrow has been in a few LS's. This is due to his RL. He has a child and that can change his commitment to a LS in a second. Some LS's feel its a downfall, others have no problem with it. He is a educated player, and very outspoken. If he see's something is wrong, he won't be afraid to speakup. His Brd isn't the best geared out, but his war and mnk aren't too bad. With more training as a brd, i'm sure his gear can be topnotch in a snap. I think he's in the process of leveling samurai. He has experience at kings, KS99, sky and sea.

Kaeko probaly said it best though.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to PM me.

[Keshdr]

I've known Morrow pretty much since I started playing back in January of '05

I'll be the first to admit that he can come across as confrontational and an ass at times, but that's just the way his personality is and is usually the result of some sort of provocation, not just random outbursts. If you take the time to talk to him and get to know him; listen to what he has to say, and not judge his words prematurely, you'll find he's just a normal guy like the rest of us.

Everyone has bad days (I'll admit I've had my fair share) and you can't make a decision about someone based solely on that because nobody is perfect. When you are looking to recruit someone, you take the good with the bad and weigh it out to see if it balances in your favor. I earnestly believe that Morrow ends up in the good column.

From the very beginning he has been nothing but helpful. He is always willing to give his time up to help his friends and his shell. In many of the shells he has been in, he has taken leadership roles and been very successful in them. Sure he has skipped around shells and positions at various times, but these were all due to RL obligations or issues with changes in the way the shell was run (almost always for the worse).

What it basically comes down to is that Morrow is a capable player who is willing to put forth the time and effort (RL permitting) to help his shell and others. To the best of my knowledge, he has experience in most areas of HNMs etc (can't speak to ToAU but sea/sky/wyrms/kings for sure) and even if he hasn't he makes sure to be knowledgeable about them in advance. He can be a great asset to any shell if you give him the chance.

[Xajii]

Holy shit, it's Keshy. Hi Keshy.

As for Morrow, your only concern would be his RL, he does have a child which can require immediate and random removal from the game for any amount of time, it is not his fault, but it does come up. I was one of the unnamed members in that CEC conversation and while it is not as Morrow said exactly, it was not exactly as Hex said it either, and some of it may have been taken out of context. It was offensive to me and others, I'm no Jew but it was a pretty harsh comment and it pissed people off. Drama is drama. But that has nothing to do with his player skill and it's not like he walks into the shell every day hatin' on some race or another. I'm sure you'd do fine with Morrow.

[alphacat]

I've known Morrow for a long time. I've never done any HNM activities with him, however, I must say he's a very nice person.

In terms of HNM scene, Odin has been and still is pretty far behind many other servers. However, those who do them are pretty bitter about each other. Pretty much every LS calls the other LS botters and what not. Take things people say in this thread about the person without ever doing anything with him with a grain of salt.
