Beginning in the Maseki MPK thread members of your shell have repeatedly demonstrated an apalling "we will do what we want because its allowed by game code" attitude, not to mention a mindset consisting of immature highschool insults such as the all-too-popular "faggot" "cockboy"
"pull the dick out of your ass" and so on. Not clever insults, which are appreciated on the flameboards, but ridiculous highschool 15 year old trash you'd hear at the bus stop. This is naturally going to do bad things to the reputation of both those members and your ls, and ultimately you as well. As we all know, if your best friend is the biggest asshole in the world........ you have to be at least half asshole as well. At Least.
at this point i would like to make it clear that your ls and you yourself watch had WON in that Maseki thread, pic was posted, Maseki at fault, end of story. Proof Positive MPK. He had been, as the kids say, "Pwnd". Then your "boys" as you called them opened their mouths and out of them came vile, disgusting name calling filth for no reason i could fathom. all you kids had to do was Say nothing, like Deniro said he would in the OP and let the pic do the talking. Couldnt resist, i guess, but i think it would have been best for your cause if you had just kept quiet. The resulting spewage from your recruits (and sadly you) shifted attention from the focus of MASEKI MPK onto the general gutter-mouths and guttermind behavior of your own ls, who had been, hitherto, simply the unfortunate victims. which moves us to my next point:
2nd, I mainly stated what I saw and encountered in this situation, nothing more, nothing less, but heres 1 thing that might separate me from you... I will stand for what I believe is right and justice, yea these are the flameboards, yea shit talking happens, and expect the unexpected, but you see...Yea ok, my members actions represent the LS, name calling shouldnt have happened, and you claim we shoulda just kept quite right?... hmm I dont think so... why? well lets see... no LS is perfect.. this game is vastly populated by a large majority of kids who enjoy the FFXI theme and storyline.. and "these" are the flameboards.. if they're way of expression doesn't fit your criteria of respect, then you'd go on bashing "Every" direct post that was made towards BoL, from all members who fit the "criteria" for which u see fit. I dont hide behind my man, I dont expect them to hide behind me, what I did expect is, these people "personally" approach me with the problem, so I coulda handled it in a better fashion, but lets face it, they didnt, therefore these are the consequences and issues thats arisen. You say the words out of their mouths and mine, are just childish and immature? well I say to you friend, that noone is the same, everyone has different personalities, and I'm not about to change anyone for any reason.
You, and members of your ls, have stated, and continue to state, in various wordings, that you will, do, have and/or intend to steal any NM of any kind if it goes yellow. This is a given, its all over both these threads, you say baldface that you Will claimsteal. Say it however you want, its translated the same way. Now, its been reported by your ls members that when maseki claimed serket, No steal attempt was made. Good for you, you still Say You Will. Repeatedly. And THAT is the source of all the animosity, the general lowering of opinions of your LS, that "dont give a shit attitude" as someone else said.
1st off, the claiming/stealing of mobs is not against TOS rules, therefore theres not much anyone can do about it but gloat and bitch. Ever since i've played.. (I dont speak for everyone) its been accustomed that stealing happens, even at the lvl 1 stage of your character hunting rarabs, it happens. But being these are HNMs, yes there is a code of ethics to follow by, and if you think we steal claims everyday, then i'd see a whole page of bashes against my shell. Point being its gonna happen, but what can I do? This game does not revolve around my life, but it is a big part of my life, because of the time spent.. so maybe its just easier for me to forget and forgive, but maybe to others, its the biggest downer of the day. So lets see.. do I honestly care if a claim is stolen? well yes and no.... Yes, because its not how BoL rolls, and I dont enforce any of my members to do it, and due to the past month, wont be tolerated at all, period.. No.. because I just see it as.. "Oh well.. JP's gonna keep doing it.. what can we do?, U wont see me flame anyone for stealing a claim, because its MY Fault I lost it" However now put it in another perspective, if my friends from other LS's claimed it, it will never happen, but seeing that my list of friends run thin now due to these threads, do I really care anymore? nope.. I have better things to deal with, its not worth my time arguing over, but being that BoL Is a elite NA Shell, we gonna get bashed, but if a JP shell does it.. its a forgotten problem within the next day.. see my point?
To older members of the HNM scene, who generally knew and understood the old HNM ethics i outlined in my last post, you have basically stated that as far as BOLSF and you yourself are concerned, rule 1) does not apply to you. But you expect rule 2) to be followed. Bullshit. Break rule 1, all rules are off. Make public Your disdain for rule 1, expect to be MPK'd by any and all ls's you compete against. I dont endorse it, but those are the rules. If you Openly and Publicly claim that the old rules Do not apply to your ls, even if its just One of the old rules, and Others will Not do you the courtesy of abiding by those rules either. The honorable are Honored. The honorless are hunted down like dogs.
Now to make myself clear, It has no bearing on this matter whether or not BOLSF HAS or HAS NOT stolen claim or Mpk'd. It is simply that here, in our servers public forum, you have personally stated as ls leader that claimsteal is allowed, and have said things along the lines of Dont like it? Too bad. Yes. It is too bad. I would never ever want to put myself, my ls or even an ls i was barely a member of in the position that that attitude, and a multitude of statements, has placed You and Your ls.
To make it brutally clear: You, by your own statements, Have Declared Open Season on your own ls.
Read above, but again those who take this game more serious than the next person, can complain all they want, its gonna keep happening, Hopefully never again from BoL, but this will never end, because its not against TOS rules. Maybe your linkshell is made up of the most mature group of people you can find, congratz.. I dont discriminate in mine... young or old.. respect your peers.. your linkshell.. yourself period, every LS will have its problems, but until your LS has went thru half the things mine has.. you are entitled to your own opinions.
-Hate us or love us, the underdogs on top, and we're gonna shine homie until our hearts stop" -The Game
So true.. This is a game to me.. i'll never meet any of you, so therefore opinions about me, will not make me faulter.
I am a fan of rules. Of protocol. Of decorum, dignity and Honor. But adhering to the rules, as they have existed thusfar in the world of HNM......
It pains me to say it, but you did it to yourselves, you are now under the same heading as Lucifar. That is, in case you didnt know, MPK or claimsteal = Greenlight.
In this game, as in real life, you reap what you sow, you get what you give. Dont give a fuck? Dont expect one in return. You cannot have it both ways.
Oh, as a postscript, id advise you not to attempt to claimsteal in [sky]. The decision is yours of course, and those who are with you.... But whatever may occur down on the ground, no matter how cool or badass you think you are, you DO NOT want to fuck with anyone in [sky]. I urge you to trust me on this. For your own good.
If you wanna challenge us, go right ahead :wink: because if I dont give a fuck, ha! I dont expect u to either, because 1 thing is VERY CLEAR, BoL has never MPKed, so pleaseeee dont even put us in a catagory like that, stealing and MPKing is not even on the same level, you live by an old code of ethics? great!, we're diff people, you run your LS, and i'll run mine, but the way I see it, BoL hasn't fallen yet, so you cant hate us or love us. And if issues in Sky will pop up, then i'll face them in the same fashion like I have here, but 1 thing is, this is a game, stealing happens, dont put words in my mouth, I dont think im cool at all, infact I think im pretty wack lol, but I'm "real" take it how u want it, Thank you for your opinions, happy hunting.
j/k
