Hahahaha, some people are just unbelieveable, you know? It's funny how some people lack any kind of "Social Skills".

For the past week or so, I've been trying to get my Samurai to Lv. 40 so I can sub it for my Lv. 40 Warrior. I'm doing pretty good so far. I jumped 6 levels in 2 days. I'm a Lv. 27 Samurai at the moment. 13 levels short of my goal.

I'm with my party in Yuhtunga Jungle, leveling up my Samurai. One of our members decides to leave, then another, and the PT pretty much breaks. Belgarath enters my LS, ShiroiNoSora, and asks that can I switch to my WAR and go help him get the Ice Weather he needs for the Summoner Quest.

I happily oblige, and speak with the Nomad Moogle. Switch to my White Mage, and Teleport-Holla myself. I'm running through West Ronfaure without any armor on, and I see Sheikz shouting for people to join him for the Garrison quest. I figure it'd be nice to help out other people get the Mannequin pieces. Belgarath & I meet up in Southern San d'Oria, and I notice that Xcalade is pretty much shouting the same as Shiekz was. I told Xcalade that I'd join to do the Garrison quest and that I promised Belgarath that I'd walk him to Beaucedine Glacier to get his snow weather. Xcalade decides to invite me right there on the spot. I said I might be 10 to 20 minutes. He said he'd give me 10...

I pretty much said "Alright... I can deal with that", and I went on.

Belgarath & I hopped Chocobos to Ranguemont Pass. I had switched to a WAR/BLM combo so I could "Warp" myself back to San d'Oria. Belgarath invisibles himself with Prism Powder, I believe. He got aggroed by a Float Eye, so I killed it for him. We finally reach the top. and Belgarath gets his Ice Weather. With having that done, both of us Warp back to our respective homepoints.

I switch off to my Lv. 42 White Mage / Black Mage and go to the Outpost in West Ronfaure to meet up with the Alliance.

The alliance decides to invite a third party... Was that really necessary...?

And I was dissapointed to see that out of the entire 3 party alliance, I was the highest level...a Lv. 42 WHM. Even though there was a Lv. 20 cap that was about to go into effect, it was rather discouraging to see that some of the people weren't even Lv. 20 yet... and were also new (I noticed because some of them asked could I cast certain "Self-Only" spells on them).

I thought to myself:

"Uh-oh... I know where THIS is going... I better cast Reraise on myself."

And so I did.

Some of the new people had begun to ask what wss the reward for beating the Garrison Quest (Yet another bad sign). I explained that one of the reward was Mannequin parts. I went further on to explained that 2 pieces could be gained from Garrison, and the remaining 3 from BCNM.

The whole time I was explaining for the people who didn't know, Xcalade spent the whole time telling me to "STFU" and "shut up" and that he "knows already", and decided to end it with "/em casts [Silence] on Devifoxx". That was very rude right there. I was about to go off on him right there, but I held myself and simply replied: "I wasn't talking to you. I was telling the people who didn't know".

When everyone is gathered, Xcalade decides to start talking in all caps to sound important, and say:

"WHMS GET READY TO USE BENEDICTION BETWEEN WAVES!!!!!!!!!!11111"

"USE BENE ON THE PARTY"

"WHMS LISTEN USE BENE ON THE PARTY"

I began to think:

This is a really... REALLY bad sign... *Cancels his Reraise effect, and Re-casts it on himself, to be DOUBLY sure*

Then I said:

"You know, if you're doing your job right, it shouldn't HAVE to come to the point where we'd have to USE Benediction."

He replied:

"ummm ur gonna have to use it ne way."

I just shook my head. This was already shaping up to be a bad idea, but I went along with it anyway. Finally the NPCs and the first wave of Orcs arrive. I'm doing just fine, I'm keeping everyone alive, doing what I can with my Lv. 20 cap. Being a good WHM. Then my MP runs out.

The lag was so incredibly massive, I mean SO massive, that even the battle spam was having trouble keeping up!! Now you know THAT'S bad. I mean, you have the Orcs moving, the NPCs moving, the swords clashing, the sound effects, the mages casting dazzling spells, the passersby either watching us or just running past, then the new people who are just standing there like goons, not sure WHAT to do, other than stand there and watch the fight... I was lagging HARD. I cured people as much as I could, and ended up tapping out my MP completely. I couldn't even type "/heal" fast enough.

Now here's the kicker... There were THREE other White Mages in the party... Xcalade turns to me and says:

"DEVI !!! USE BENE !!!"
"DEVI !!! USE BENE !!!"
"DEVI !!! USE BENE !!!"
"DEVI !!! USE BENE !!!"

Flooding like a noob, like it's gonna make me go faster. That's not doing a damn thing, except making me lag HARDER. So I pretty much had it at that point, and replied:

"I CAN'T, YOU DAFFY BASTARD!!"

And I FINALLY get to sit down and try and recover MP. He went quiet for like 5 minutes... He was lagging hard too, I guess. The other White Mages were just sitting there like goons, or dying because the melees didn't provoke. They could've used it too.

I finally manage to say in the party that "my 2hour won't be ready until 20 minutes", and my MP is charged back up.

Xcalade spent that 5 minutes, going through the lag, trying to navigate his way to the party menu, and he up and kicks me. Heh.

He kicked the ONLY White Mage who was healing the whole alliance at Lv. 20. He just screwed himself over. So I laughed to myself, and I decided: "Hey, I got nothing better to do now. Maybe I'll mess with his head." ...So I start sending him tells. The conversation went something like this:


>>DeviFoxx : Hmm... You kicked me. I see. Oh well, you just screwed yourself over. That's why everyone at QCDN.org badmouths you.
>>Xcalade : shut up u slut u let the team die
>>Devifoxx : LOL is that the best comeback you can come up with?
>>Xcalade : u slut y dont u go back to ur forums and cry.
>>Devifoxx : lol, I'm not crying. I joined to help YOU. I already have my mannequin pieces in storage.
>>Xcalade : oh yea
>>Xcalade : i sold my legs and feet for 80k
>>Devifoxx : lol, no you didn't.
>>Xcalade : yes i did, u slut
>>Devifoxx : lmao
>>Xcalade : [Black List]
>>Devifoxx : LOL
>>Xcalade : ur a slut
>>Devifoxx : Dumbass XD


/blacklist add Xcalade[/i}

I wasn't even MAD at this point, I just wanted to heckle him because he thought he could treat me like shit, when he can't. LOL! I made him look retarded, and on top of that, I accomplished my mission. When he kicked me, AND when I heckled him, the alliance got wiped out. So really, Xcalade screwed his own damn self.

I guess I should've listened when you guys added Xcalade to your list of people to avoid. I hope now I've given those who haven't done so a good reason to do as such.

But still, arguments where the only comeback he could make would be to call me a "slut"... I'm sorry, but that's just HILARIOUS. I mean, I was laughing so hard in real life, tears were streaming down my cheeks.

Lv. 50 Warrior. Excuse me.
 
Wow... I think it was XCalade who recently invited me to join his linkshell (completely randomly - I was just checking out the AH in Bastok). Promised that it was a great place, with tons of high-level, helpful people. I already had my own linkshell, though, so I declined.
If this post is indicative of what sort of people are in that LS, I think I unintentionally made a very wise choice :p
 
Alrighty, im glad i now have another person who has experienced the idiocy of Xcalade.

Oh.. and Camryn, If you did join Xcalade's LS, id suggest leaving it immediately. He's an immature wannabe know-it-all noob, and if you ever have him in your party or talk to him about game related things, you will soon find out.

And as a sidenote, more on topic with the name of the thread. Last night i was running by West Ronfaure's gate house and noticed there were a lot of people there. I asked them, and sure enough it was for Garrison. I dont believe it was the same one you had the misfortune of joining Devi. No.. this one was actually pretty good.

The funny thing was, after I had came back from Sandoria and changed into my lvl 10 Sam to get some exp, when they finally got started and something odd happened. It was cool at the same time though, they had 3 full parties in an alliance so there was like 3 rows of particians. Like a mini army almost.

In came the first wave of Orcs. The Orcs got slaughtered big time.. I was impressed with how fast they were able to dispatch them all and none of the particians died. However, this is where.. something happened. We all waited for the second wave to come.. and it never did. So.. theres about 15 particians lined up in formation, Orcs never came and all the players were scratching their heads, me included. Needless to say they did a GM call and I dont know if the GM's did anything but about 20 minutes later all the particians dissapeared and the Garrison event was ended. Never did see a GM.

They reassembled several minutes later and started the Garrison a second time. This time they successfully completed the Garrison event without any bugs. :) It was pretty interesting to witness all in all.

I've done a garrison once, so I stood there explaining to all the noobs who had neverending questions what Garrison was untill i finally got sick of explaining things to people who would run off after they asked a question. Noobs can be so fustrating. How the hell am I suppose to answer a question when they dont want to listen to an answer.. Oh well. :evil:
 
I WAS THERE!!!

It was the most rediculous thing that I have ever seen. I was running by leveling my WAR sub (10 at the time) with my pt flag up, when I got an invite. I join to see a huge alliance, and I was the lowest lvl. I thought wtf are they doing inviting me..... then- skrew it, I'll just hang out and maybe get something for free! hehe.

The lag was AWFUL!!The first wave comes, and utter chaos... but we made it. The second wave, and I'm standing by a WHM that gets aggro, and decide to voke off him- thinking that someone will voke off me-WRONG. 3 or 4 hits = KO :( I'm just about to HP, when I get a raise from someone- didn't even see who.... God the Lag was bad. Anyways I hid in the back to heal, see the carnage, and /disband. What a waste! And completely unorganized.

Devi, If that was you with the raise- THX!!
 
Blind Invites = Evilness... Somewhere along the lines of "Mickey Mouse owning you as a little kid at Disneyland" Evilness.

Been alot of blind inviters as of late, and I prefer to not be a blind Invite-ee. Usually that's a dead giveaway that it's... a... "Lesser Party".
 
"Nice" story, Devi!

I'll back you on that one : Xcalade is a terrible player. I haven't play with him yet but I've endured its stupidness in Yhoator Jungle. I even got the benefit of having 2 parties laughing of the jokes I've made of him :D
 
Yeah, I also don't like blind invites much, but recently the PTs have not been so bad, not compared to the earlier crap I was involved in. The only blind invites that really piss me off is when I have no flag up, that just makes no goddamn sense to me. :x
 
........

Krm..... there are endless points to debate regarding the proliferation of rude, incompetent, and bigoted newbies. Especially of late, it seems. I've had what probably ends up being the good fortune of having not experienced much of it directly recently... though that's probably because I've not been in a leveling party for over a month...

I could go on all day about these countless points, but suffice it to say that I am heartily in agreemend with Devi regarding Xcalade. I've never partied with him directly due to my separation from him by level..... but I chanced upon one of his shouting matches in Bastok Markets a while ago- it apparently started by him spamming /shout advertisements for some common and worthless merchandise- and I've no desire whatsoever to associate myself with so immature and childish an individual.
 
Alas...

Alas... If only there was a way to actually TELL in Selbina / Mhaura when a Ghost Pirate ship is about to set sail. Then we could stick Xcalade on it and tell him that an easy NM that drops expensive rares is on it. I'd get on board with my WHM/BLM ... Invisible / Sneak myself, and record the whole thing with Fraps to an .AVI file.

He'd probably be screaming at the pirates, calling them "Sluts".

To which point, I'd Warp off the ship, my laughter echoing as my Elvaan body transcends time and space.

XD

I got too much spare time on my hands! LOL
 
Xcalade is teh stupid, OWNTEDED crap player of the day.

I've seen the guy running around doing some lame things, but this would bothered me too.
 
I saw him on chocobo the other day, and I was tempted to do this:

/em slaps a "Pwned by Devifoxx sticker on <t>!"
/s Pwned.

But I thougt the better of it since I don't know the guy ^^
 
We saw him yesterday in yhuggot grotto when we was doing mission 2-3 with Farys. We had a good laugh beside him :lol: !
I think he is a celebrity now ! ;)
 
What you should do is walk up to him, and say: "Hey... c'mere! I got a secret to tell ya!" then whisper... "u slut". XD
 
Heh, he made my /blist last night.

If there is one thing I can't stand, it's immature people. He takes the cake.
 
Ok now for you. Yea Ok We started Garrison. I was there doing the stupid thing all day. I had done it like 10 times before you went in there. I was helping for recruiting. What you gotta know is that Garrison/eco warrior is filled with n00bs. You never gonna get the same results with 15 random people then wit your own LS. I invited you. YOu never metioned that you were doing it to just help cuz you already had the pieces. I thought you were in it like everyone else For the Items or experience. NOw after Going over and over and over same damn shit all day I'm frustated. Now you joined..THis is not a perfect garrison Alliance b/c people are just random. You would know that if you done it more. Well after doing it 10 times I was aware that benediction will help the party win. Well that Why i made it cleared to use Benedection between waves. Now obviously i didnt ask you to use it During the waves cuz thats a death sectence..well The first wave was done. and the second one.. we were badly low on HP and I called for benedictioon!! i shouted yea cuz theres so much spam and Lag.. I waited...no bene..so I shouted again..then Your like STFU i was lagging...then i dindt say anything...5 secs go by..10secs... 20.. No benediction...and you were talkin so obviously you weren't lagging..so the third wave starts....everyone in our Group is low health..we die.....You didnt.....You wouldn't even benediction during the fight to save the team and actually help finish garrison...So WTF you expect to do. I kicked ya for the lack of care. GEt over it. You sent me a /tell i dindt want to hear w/e You had to say, YOu bashed me about this forum, w/e I don't care your one person I really don't care/or need. You will always find those People that you don't get along with..SO all you people that had said shit about me. Don't play with me but Bashing me on a forum telling everyone else to not.. Its messed up.. either way I'm lvl 50 with my Gankai 1 done. waitign on auelin to lvl up...I made it to that lvl b/c the friends i have..I'm rank 5 b/c the friends that have helped me... I even got my AF2 done becuase of friends that I have. so obviously people do like me and can get to know me without readin BS posted on some server. I gotten invited to statics...I refused them all b/c of auelin.. I got invited to JP pts i partied with before..So stfu And stop making comments on one incedent that Both you and I had both faults in.
 
I just.. I just gotta ask
Xcalade... Are you drunk? Or were you drunk when you posted this? I gotta know.
Are you drunk when you play as well?
 
Oh man.. lol, this is too good for me to pass up.

First off... Xcalade.. You dont just invite random people to a freaking Garrison O.o... You need people with experience and/or people who just know what they are doing.

Congrats on your lvl 50, how your "friends" have the patience to put up with you and get you there is a miricle in itself.

Also.. you wanna know why you get lots of invites.. its because your a god damned paladin you idiot, people seek out plds like they seek out whms. It's just too bad you turned them down, more people need to learn how bad of a paladin you are. Unless you magically got better.

Oh, and good luck when/if you manage to reach lvl 60. No one will be holding your hand when you do the Matt fight.
