Taj

[Sonomaa]

Once upon a time, I had the utmost respect for this shell and the people in it.

please be more vague.

I didn't think any explanation would be necessary, as I'm sure most of you know this drama story even better than I do.

Gordie is one of the best people I've had the pleasure to meet, in or out of game. Only to have some shell screw him over on some misguided crusade. On top of that, its treated as little more than a joke.

*edit

ok, i realize he may or may not be a part of the shell proper.. so lets say this community instead of shell.

right, I'm still not getting it. What "community/shell" screwed him over? Ultima? BG? Wut? Because iirc it was taj and noone else(so where is this shell/community mentality coming from?).

Im moderately upset if people are saying Taj is BG, because he isnt. There are 9000+ BG forum account numbers, there are about 40 actual members.

I get upset about this kind of thing too on the other end of the spectrum.

It pisses me off when people clump the whole of this forum as BG and issue out insults to those who did nothing to deserve it, but what would you call the other 8960 forum users here? :/

[Shuemue]

I'd call us trolls.

Bluegartr forum members. The other 40 are linkshell members.

HEY HEY HEY HEY

HEY


No you're right

[Xajii]

this whole thing reminds me of v for vendetta

natalie portman as Ashira
etc.


To be honest before this I never even thought of Taj taking anyone's account via his methods. I found it interesting that people exclude him from their anti-hacking flames, but most everything he did (even after he hacked into e-mails, supposedly) was recieved with a larger percentage of praise than disapproval.

And somehow I feel like if he's not posting here it will be a lot harder to find out the entire truth about this.

I just honestly feel bad for these people, I lost my first ACCT by giving PW out, took a break came back and I was fucked, it was a shame yeah but I got over it and I learned my lesson, never since has someone had my info.

But people like Rydiu, or w/e his name is who recieved shit from taj that was not taj's to give keeping the items for myself is just really really scummy, and in my opinion, worthy of being given the kalia treatment. They recieved items worth large amounts of gil, worked for by others, through ilicit means. Is it the same as buying gil? No, but I think there should be as much anger directed at the people who are able to help the victims recover their items and outrightly refuse as is directed at Taj.

Being an accomplice and then posting on BG about "blah blah dont give your password out" is fucking beyond stupid, and worthy of ridicule.

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

Bullshit lynsy had nothing to do with it. <lynsy on vent> im trying to clear this character out but i dont know where to put all this stuff. so if you had stuff on hades more then likely she has it and is just waiting for shit to blow over.

Don't even bring up the vent.

I'll agree with you on this.

BG forum readers, they arent in the BG linkshell on bahamut.
There are other sections on this forum that people dont see, they are for members only.

I think it's pretty messed up tha- ... CAIT SITH??

Hi-five Shue.

(I'm pretty sure the Manteel was returned.)

I don't think either Manteel was returned but I could be wrong. I never saw one redistributing items on the Levi accounts.

re: Lynsy, maybe she's just real private but dropping her AH history to a 1 transaction limit on ffxiah.com seems a bit shady, especially when your name shows up on the transaction history for some of the missing items. http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=17558&sid=32
That may have been unrelated but I doubt it.

Regardless, it looks like Symbolic is selling the rest of the gear.

Maybe that's all just coincidence though.

In the end though none of this matters other then to reaffirm to people who to avoid and what not to do with your info. I don't expect anyone involved to give back anything and we know that SE is going to get right on a resolution.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that when someone does that, they're doing something they shouldn't be.

At least, in the wake of situations like this.

Since when (and why) are people allowed to control their history on FFXIAH?

Some people don't like having their purchasing habits broadcast to everyone.

And lynsy just got owned.

If you register you can set Transactions Displayed to any number from 1 to 255. I thought it capped at 50 but when I checked the options just now it said 255 so I'll go with that.

Fixed.

Some people are just paranoid about privacy for no reason other than paranoia about privacy.

[Saraphym]

all the more reason for people to be suspicious if you need to go and hide your transactions.
