[Asura/Ragnarok] Mattchoo (bc)

[Enoikos]

Hi, this person applied to my LS, would like to see if people on Ragnarok/Asura can provide us with some info on this person.
Small info:
Originally from Asura, moved to Ragnarok in October '08. My name was Mattchoo on both servers.
Job at level 75: WHM 75, SMN 75, BRD 75, RDM 75, SCH 75, WAR 75.

Which was your last LinkShell, and why did you leave:
DeathTax on Ragnarok, it recently broke.


Thanks in advance.

I recognize this name on Asura but nothing specific. If you are concerned about his history on Asura I might be able to help with general info on his shells if you can post names.

I was the leader of his shell on Ragnarok before it broke. He was a good member with a decent attitude towards anything. He's very quiet, but will talk when there's something wrong. The only jobs i only ever realy saw him as was WHM or RDM, he plays WHM very well, he's fast on the ol' macros.

You will proberbly have his friend applying too. His name was Gavvy on Ragnarok, Kumbai on Kajuta and Kumbai on Odin.
Gavvy was my best FF friend for about a year, but then we both started to make a HNMls, after 2 months we started arguing about pretty things then it got worse untill i said "fuck it, you run the shell". That was the end of our friendship, and the end of our shell.

Sad to see you go Matt. As for you, Gavvy... Why so serious? :] your life problems arnt too bad compared to alot of other people, so just chill and relax.

Was in DeathTax with him. A very capable member, would make a good addition to any linkshell.

was in chroma briefly, left on a sour note as he hadn't been in the ls long and quit because a long serving member got Bahamuts Staff before him. The same week he got a.feet and seveneyes but obviously wasnt satisfied

Not that this concerns me in the least, but details are always nice. How are we to know if he deserved it, and got screwed because of seniority or not?

There are no threads or details that I can find on Chroma forums about him aside from his application review, he applied to the LS on 4.Dec.07, was accepted and became full member around Xmas time. I joined 4.Feb.2008 exactly three months after his application and by then he was already gone because I don't remember him at all. At that point the shell had already been going for like a year and a half ish, so yeah, if you are a member for 1-3 months and QQ about a Bahamut's staff I don't doubt whoever got it on seniority deserved it more. Lucky as hell to have gotten a Seveneyes so fast after joining.

Also, looking at drops history the Bahamut's staff in question was the one that went to Linkx who always has had outstanding attendance, had already been a member for 10 months when Mattchoo joined and as of last summer became the active leader of the shell when the original creator stepped down. Seniority is a bitch indeed.

Note that I don't know this Mattchoo guy personally at all, was just elaborating on the circumstances Suicidalsnowman posted.

I Was in the shell shortly be4 Matt (and still am!), still remember this. Yeah was a bit of hassle over that Bahastaff back then. All-in-all the right person got it, Mattchoo left over it, but other than that he was really a nice guy and a skilled player and I dont feel this incident should classify him as lootwhore or anything because it all went down a little crazy.

edit: grammar etc.

[Tsuko_Asura]

That's cool. I certainly wasn't accusing Chroma of anything negative, It'd just be unfortunate for a player to get a so-so reputation over something that could have just as easily been a misunderstanding.

[Vigilia]

No worries, I wasn't present for the events mentioned so just laid down the facts I could find. It was probably like Acheron summed up and this Matt guy just happened to have an epically bad day or something and things snowballed because I can not find anything negative mentioned on him at all otherwise.

[Jem]

I remember this happening and what's been said is true but not the whole story. Yes, he did QQ about it and made an over the top topic on the forum quitting the LS. However, it was only because if our loot distribution system had been followed correctly then he should have been able to lot. I wasn't Chroma council at the time so I don't know if it was just a genuine mistake by the council leading the event or if they individually decided that Link deserved it more.

Link did deserve it more and in my opinion the right person got the item but his main gripe was that by rights he should have been able to lot and he wasn't allowed to without any sort of explanation as to why he couldn't lot.


In all honesty, if he reapplied to Chroma right now then he'd probably be considered if we were recruiting his jobs. I know that I would at least be willing to give him another shot anyway but can't speak for the other four council.

Other than that, his attendance was pretty damn good iirc and he played his jobs decently. He was a nice enough guy and it seemed really out of character the way he left the LS.

[Sizah]

Lol ....

Mattchoo is normally a good guy, nice, good attendance and whatsoever.

I was council at the time this happened and yes the staff hasnt been distributed like it normally would have been ... normally Linkx and him together would have been allowed to lot but council decided to just let Linkx lot since he was a member for 10 months longer and had 200 RP more (for the record in the 2 years I was in Chroma and played alot I got a total of bout 1100 RP so you can imagine how much this is).

Since he got AFeet and Seveneyes already (which I even passed to him) after being full member for one week and then leaving just cause we decided to just let Linkx lot (which was correct since its clear handled in the rules that when a council feels like someone deserves it more, he can do that) we didnt give a shit bout it. He didnt like it and quit Chroma.

I really really have to bite my lip though to the last post, since its just ridicolous and you Chroma peeps know what Im talking bout Good that its not the topic!

Anyways to Mattchoo ... I really always liked him a lot but this thing changed my opinion a bit. Still I would say he is a good asset to any LS.
