I really don't think this is Hempone, because Hempone has talked to me in the last few days and said he came back to my LS, he's also a pretty mild mannered guy. From what I've seen he is outspoken and doesn't get mad or overly emotional like this person is doing. Hempone talked to Eklm just a day or two ago. It seems from what I heard, that he went back to his previous linkshell, as he told me he "didn't want to be involved in any of the drama" which I respected. However, after finding out what really happened and reading this thread, he sent me a /tell in game saying he was sorry for leaving, and did not understand the full scope of the situation. He returned to the shell, but as I said, he is a very mild mannered person, not the type to post something like this. At least, as far as I know. Trying to use common sense here. I'm not sure if he ever joined Snaggletooth's shell or not.
Also, the only officer that left my linkshell was Juilan. When he joined he made it clear he was close to complete on several sets of relic and only needed a few more pieces, which he got. I don't think he got everything he needed, but it seemed he started getting bored, and kept begging me to let him sponsor. I'm pretty sure he left because he wasn't allowed to sponsor, but I'm not going to say for sure. I don't hate Juilan, although he's given me some trouble lately.
But anyhow, to address whoever posted that. A few things I will note.
The run I got 3 AF2 in, was a Xarcabard run. I got Bard Legs, which I lotted over 2 people for who had gotten Xarcabard AF2 fairly recently. Then, WAR and DNC fell. No one needed, no one wanted, I even offered them to those with the job lower level, everyone suggested I take them. And yes, I felt a bit guilty about that. We've gotten more since then and have free lotted it. This has happened for many people on many runs, and happens in a lot of Dynamis linkshells. Some times people simply get lucky and will get 2-3 pieces in a run because no one else wants them.
The Valor Cape I took some time down the road, because once again, in the 8 months of this shells history I've missed a total of 1 run. So I decided to use my attendance again, and snag it (no pun intended). Other than these two instances I'm not sure of many times I've outlotted people on a piece of AF2, I might have against Linkn, but me and him are pretty good buddies so if he wants to punch me in the face or slap me around he's more than welcome to, but once again some people are adults about this shit and are able to work it out in a very simple and mature manner (thanks Linkn<3). The only other time I remember is when the shell first started doing Xarcabard some time ago, and had already told people I was saving up for the first pair of TH4. Do you know how often I use Thief outside of Dynamis? Or my TH4? Hardly ever. I wanted it so that as long as the shell was running, it would benefit overall drops. Did I mention I'm Thief for all Dynamis runs?
Again, I'm not sure how long this person was in my linkshell, but I had to take about 3 weeks off the game because I wasn't doing so well medically, and needed a bit of a break anyways. The funny thing is, during this time I didn't miss one event. I simply wasn't on between events. Snaggletooth didn't run jack shit during that time. He asked if he could start running some ZNM's and I gave him permission to. Low man, 6-12 person ZNM's that you do with a already filled up linkshell shouldn't be too hard. I will give him credit for finding a good deal of members, some of which were either gil sellers that I ended up having to kick or people who only went to 1 run, but yes, he did recruit well, and by that I mean he would stand in whitegate non stop shouting even when I asked him to stop shouting and simply scope out good people to join.
I smashed his shell because of the commotion he had been causing over such a stupid drop. I was planning on repearling him as I later explained to him, but after I did that he flew off the hook, even when I gave him a chance to calm down, and tried to talk to him for a long ass time.
I did only post the part with him threatening and all his bullshit. The other parts are simply me and him going back and forth and me trying to calm him down. I don't give two shits if you're drunk or not, being drunk doesn't excuse you from your actions, if anything it multiplies the ramifications. And his actions speak for their self.
Everyone knows I'm from Asura, and as I've said before, I'm surely not perfect. But I'm not some cheating, botting, piece of shit who ripped people off like a lot of others. I'm sure I had enemies there, just as I have had here, but I also had many good friends there, as I have had on Siren. When you are in end game for many years, there will always be people spewing shit off saying shit, talking about how you were horrible because they got butthurt over something or another. Human nature. One of the main things people were upset at me about for a long time was when I finally got 5/5 PLD relic armor, a month or two after that, I had to move back to California from where I was staying. I had a shitty apartment with no Internet, and was not able to sign on the game between that and my work for a good 3-4 months. Real life happens, I'm really sorry about that, but some one else did take the shell over, and it continued on to even beat Dynamis-Xarcabard, so they ended up being quite fine.
As far as snaggletooth trying to apologize, he came out to Rolanberry Fields when we were camping Simurgh. He stood there, after several people asked him to leave. I'm not sure if he did ever attempt to apologize or not, but I know several people in the alliance said he was spouting off the same shit again, even saying to "confirm his flight number" that he was flying out to see me and "wanted to do lunch". We all kind of laughed about it and shrugged it off. If he was offering a honest apology at any point I would have gladly taken it. As I tried to even apologize to him myself over what had happened.
Also, I'm sorry for my medical disabilities and having to take off from the game for them, but once again, real life happens, and some times you have to do what you have to do.
As I've explained before, and as Silenka said. I'm not forcing anyone to stay in the linkshell. Many people have left my shell for one reason or another, some simply didn't like the points system, and they left on good terms. I don't care that they left, and wish them the best of luck where things can work out for them. The thing that is so hilarious is how overcomplicated some people make this game.
No, my points system isn't perfect. But when it's a group of people using as what I try to describe in my rules section "common sense" it has worked fine without hardly any complaints since it was implemented. It's a game, where people come around, do a event, maybe get something, maybe not. No one is favored, and if they cannot trust that, they can simply leave. This isn't the damn US constitution. It's a MMORPG that is in it's elder years as we wait for the next one to come along.
I'm not a rocket scientist, but I wouldn't be going to far out on a limb to say this post was made by snaggletooth himself. The "F???" kind of gave it away, he also likes ending sentences in "!". Also, the petty insults only hone credence to the points I've been trying to make.
More than anything, I just want this god damn stupid nightmare to be over. I'm keeping to myself, and leaving him alone, yet he still pesters me and cannot just let this bullshit drop and go about his marry way. This post he obviously made should be enough to show that. As I've said before, people get kicked from linkshells, shit it's happened to me, and I've been pissed about it. But I got over it, moved on, went to other shells, did good deeds, what have you, it's part of life. In life, you'll get fired from jobs, kicked from groups, and friends will some times turn their backs on you. You've got to man up, deal with it, and move the fuck on.
And for the record, I hate candy bars. I eat mainly a complete organic diet (aside from splurging about once a month and getting a in n' out).
