I see what you mean, personally wouldn't go about it that way, but its your shell, still I would expect someone with his military background to show some sort of morality.
 
I'd expect everyone to. Then again I give people the benefit of the doubt until someone does something like this. Once you wrong me, you get the other side of Jamal that you see here.
 
3 failed attempts now with the only thing that's come close to taking me or my ls down is shooting into my personal life. Good work Kotsu, Hollie, and Lavi. Good work and good night.
 
Ok well I haven't dropped it yet but lets make a deal. I'm up for a negotiation. 15% of the going rate of Zahak's Mail if you want it back. Its less than the 10mil Jamal wants me to pay to the LS for winning a free lot. I think taking an 85% hit for what I could sell it for seems fair enough to drop this whole situation. Considering there's no way anyone can take it off my character and this offer is being made to come to a conclusion seems fair enough. Asking me to give up something that nobody can take away from me doesn't seem logical.

As for military morals, you try having faith in a organization you fully believed in but once you blow out your knees and fight for a year and half until they say you're unfit for service so they boot you out with nowhere to go and by the way the medication they gave you may have caused irreputable damage to your liver, you try not hating them after they tell you they can't diagnose whats wrong with you. And you don't qualify for a liver transplant until they can diagnose you.
 
Jamal I'm not trying to shoot your personal life down its just this whole grudge is getting rediculas I want it over and done with hence the "Live and let die" title let both of us live our lives and let the grudge between us die.
 
Zahak Mail for the betterment of a shell? I think a shell might be better without anyone who might benefit from it.
 
you're really trying to pawn off something like that?

This has douche bag written all over it, if they gave it to you and it causes you so much stress give it back. If there was guidelines saying "what you get in the ls stays in the ls" it's not 100% yours. Asking to have it bought from you is just stupid, putting in 1hr of work doesn't deserve shit for a reward.
 
Fine its a douche bag move I'll retract it then. But remember I open the lines of negotiation of fixing this confrontation.
 
I recommend just trading it back and SS it and post it here. Then if Jamal or anyone from SnB is still giving you shit over that item or anything related to it. Just SS them harassing you and post it here and then they will look like the asses/douche bags. Its either trade it back to them or keep it. If you drop it, sell it, or try to sell it back to them for a certain % of its worth that all screams douche bag.
 
i think he just wants both ends of the deal have some benefit but resolve the conflict when there's really just one thing you can do, inbetween ones like his suggestion would just spur(rightfully) more anger from the ls.

I'm all up for a solution, it boils down to Hollie and Jamal settling it. But it's my opinion Hollie should get no gain from any of it, 1 hr of work =/= 500k or what ever 15% is.
 
are you that much of a fucking moron. Seriously, or are you trying? If something goes freelot and I have never been in the shell in my life... save maybe one run, I'd let the ones who had been in the shell a while a chance to lot before me, because well.... they earned it not me. I'm not saying what Hollie did was right or wrong because well.... it isn't my place, however if I was given the chance, I would have passed... easily.

I seriously LOL'ed at this. You start of by resorting to cussing me out, even though this thread 1) has nothing to do with you, and 2) seems like youre still harboring a grudge from our last encounter. You know, I saw a few of your posts, and figured you were a bit smarter than i gave you credit for, but i must say you managed to blow THAT out of the water LOL.

As for you saying you would pass on the item, please, not even the devil (the king of liars) would believe that one. The shell hadnt been together long enough to FULLY establish rules as to WHO could free lot and who couldnt. You seem to forget that most, if not all shells, have probationary periods where member CANT lot on anything unless it goes to free lot. This item went to free lot, so your feeble attempt at an argument gets shot down.

Next time you wanna stick your foot in you mouth, do it right so that you DONT stick it in, understood? People are having a meaningful debate here and you cant help but try to steal the spotlight and be the center of attention can you? :nono:

Considering Hollie has the item, I don't think you have much of a choice.
 
The ball is in his court, honestly, if Jamal and crew want that item back, they gonna have to be willing to bargain, cuz at this point, they really have no clout. Hollie has the Z.Mail, and THEY want it back. Theres room for negotiation, but in the end, either they offer some concessions, or the items stays with Hollie.

So whats your move Hollie? Remember, YOU decide, not anyone else. And please folks, continued bashing isnt gonna get either party a resolution. This is now for Jamal and SnB to sort out with Hollie.
 
Considering Hollie has the item, I don't think you have much of a choice.

If the item causes Hollie "so much pain" and "sucks the fun out of the game" because of the drama it's caused, i don't see why she is still making a big deal about it, obviously thats a quick fix to just give it back.

I hardly consider me saying fucking one time as cussing you out... And yes ask many people, I HAVE passed free lots several times. Are you seriously that dense? I also hardly believe that one or two posts in a 15-20 page flame hardly constitutes as trying to steal the spotlight. You on the other hand have PC+1ed several times in this thread... probably amounting to at least triple my posts in a thread that as you put it so well "has nothing to do with you" So by all means continue to try harder :\

The devil of liars wouldn't believe that I would pass a free lotted item? Do research please. Not all of us are as self centered and gear whoredly greedy as you Hexx. My argument is a valid point and you saying it was shot down was a moot if not illogical attempt at being coy.

If it is free lot and I had not been in the shell long enough, I let those w/ tenure lot first. I have been in linkshells, both end game and social. I have helped several shells out without any need/want of reward. Ask those who I have tanked Jailers(something you still can't do) or tanked NMs/HNMs, i guarantee I have helped camp millions of Ungars and even got a few people an astral aspis to name a few people... I don't ask for a reward when doing so, nor would I really need one...

Being in the same situation as Hollie, I would give it back so there would be no serious backlash towards Kotsu. Honestly, I wouldn't want to drag Kotsu(who is a standup guy) into this. I don't know Hollie well enough to make opinions, however I seriously believe that if this involved someone, albeit by association... I would try to rectify the situation as fast as I could.
 
So let me see... Someone(s) got an item, from a monster that the LS killed, and they got this item under the system in place at the time? And that system had no clause about returning said item?

Sounds like its Hollies Zahak's Mail to do with as he/she wants to, including ditching the shell with it.


The issue is fairly cut and dry people, they didn't ninja it, cheat it, borrow it and not return it, or be leant it by the LS bank with expectation to have it returned. Jamal n co., you're being dicks, and you probably know it. Move on.

Besides, its a fucking Zahak's mail, not an Antares Harness or Ancient Torque. Jeez.
This...especially the part about not having a return policy for the items that can be transferred from one player to another. Ultimately it was this shortsightedness that has caused all this e-drama. But who can blame him? He expected that people who lotted and won a piece of gear would be committed to the shell. Which leads me to...

All drops were for the betterment of the shell...
Explain what you mean by whats in bold...
What's in bold means the drops were to go to the players who were going to stay committed to the long term success of the shell once a more permanent lotting system was set. Getting a drop and then ditching the shell for whatever reason in no way helps the linkshell. By lotting it, Hollie basically agreed to the long term success of the shell. This gives justification to ShakenBake's call for it to be returned. But again, without a concrete return policy, there is nothing much they can do about it.

Well its nobody's now so stop attacking me, stop attacking my friends
Trying to diffuse the situation with false claims of dropping the item was the wrong way to go about things. It only raised the anger of some people and caused more e-drama.

Being a grammar nazi as a comeback is weak, youve provided better arguments than THAT Jamal :nono:
This should read "Being a grammar nazi as a comeback is weak. You've provided better arguments than that jamal."

Says the guy who has contributed 1/5th of the posts in this thread to this point. This thread isn't about you so why are you so emotionally attached to it? Jyak stayed on topic so no fault there. This is also the FB, so he can take digs at you if he wants as long as he stays on topic. Don't get so butthurt about it. But it seems as if you also hold a grudge. You insult him and, whether you meant to or not, make it sound like you're better than him in a "holier than thou" sort of way (which you do quite a bit actually). If you're going to take shots at him, don't condemn him for doing likewise. As you've basically said before, practice what you preach. Also about the last bolded part, count his post count vs. your post count in this thread. It went from being about Jamal, Hollie, and Kotsu to being about Jamal, Hollie, Kotsu, and Hexx.

Seriously guys, quit this free Kotsu bullshit otherwise I'll up the read only to a one month ban.
I'm not on the free Kotsu bandwagon, but unless you could provide conclusive evidence Kotsu is behind it would this not be abuse of admin power? If he's not, you would be punishing him for something he had no control over. (If you did it. I'm not saying you will or will not)

To sum: Jamal takes FFXI way to seriously and seems to like to ruin people's e-lives if they break his trust. Kotsu is on read-only and can't defend himself right now. Hollie has a Zahak's Mail he doesn't know what to with (hint: think of your friends when making this decision). Hexx takes QCDN way to seriously and wants threads to die by continually posting in them. And Miros likes to abuse his admin power. Fun times. It seems like there is one or two users who need a break from QCDN that could use a Dejavu type of ban.
 
It's too late to salvage your rep, Hollie; the best you can do is come to your senses and give it back to the ls that was dumb enough to let you lot for it. I don't expect you to have especially high morals for being in the military; there are a lot of shitbirds in uniform. Don't be one of them.
