Peregrine, the omnipotent

[Isotope]

Wow, Invictus sounds like some kind of military outfit or something. Do you guys allow fun and smiling or is that breaking some sort of rule? Looks like everyone's just whipped into doing their role and nothing more.

No really, moogle rods have been encouraged already by leadership during runs. I ask you wtf is a moogle rod doing being whipped out no a Dynamis run? You lose your TP switching weapons continuously & although I haven't checked it's stats, it probably sux as a weapon.

 

[Bigboy]

Stop now and read hte whole thread before you reply to every post. He actually already explained why he doesn't want to make a PLD team leader. If you disagree with that, reply to that. Dont make 5 posts saying the same stuff.

You're making yourself look bad this way, cuz you aren't taking in everything he's said before you reply, which kinda relates to his beef with you in the first place.

no, the LS is spamed with idle chat, so i guess i understand why pere doesnt like giving orders, since no one will see them

I agree, in other MMORPGS I've played, ls/guild chat is restricted to leader, officers, group leaders & job/class leaders & for the sole purpose of giving orders & having them be seen.

Iso spams so much irrelevant fodder that the other tanks are drown out and rendered confused. Literally, every time it went like this:

In linkshell:
Peregrine:Tanks, get that select order hammered out.
Isotope: What's the tank order?
*Isotope: Hey anyone want to get rings with me tomorrow?
*Isotope: lol I need them
*five minutes of chat*

In alliance, where the pull team, the blm team, and the tank team is:
Peregrine: Tanks, did you figure a select order out?
Tank2: No
*Isotope: What's the tank order?
Isotope: Whm goes last on my cheat sheet that i made, right?
*Isotope: Got 4 people for help on my rings

The lines marked w/a * were made up just now by Pere. I never tried to set a day to get "rings". At one point (not during a run) I did ask if anyone was willing to help all tanks of the shell get Jelly rings if they need them. As for asking the tank order, I only did that on the last run because Cherron usually told us & forgot, but hey he's human, you however decided to get loud & be an asshat.

Still not clear on one thing, was it Isotope's job to provide the tank order or was it the task of the Paladins as a group to come up with a tank order?

It is reasonable for pere to have the paladins determine the tank order, however, a smart leader would have delegated the task of choosing the tank order to someone who has the ability to make that type of decision, it obviously wasn't Isotope. All of this drama could have been skipped if pere were saavy about his players and their abilities. An inability make a decision concerning tank order doesn't make him a bad tank, and you could have worked around his difficulty if you <both> weren't quite so stubborn lol.

Pere saved it till last minute to make it a PLD group thing, however I'm the one getting bashed for it. Once again PLD grp leader {can we have it}?

Instead of belittling people's shortcoming you learn, as a leader, to use each person to the best advantage of the linkshell. You weren't using Iso to your shells best advantage, that's for sure.

Yes, it is possible.

Quite very well it is. But as I belive I may have stated before, early at the beginning of this thread, I was the only tank of what Pere had left who went & did his Dynamis homework. If I had been designated PLD group leader ya, due to gear, lvl, etc. I woulda set it as:

1) GB (best gear & same experience as myself I believe)
2) Isotope
3) Elleshar (He is 2 lvls above GB & me, but new)

Reguardless of even being new Elleshar has shown he can step up w/o fail. If it weren't for me & GB being in longer, I'd a put him higher up.

Take Isotope. I care not one wit who grabs this idiot up. Us and him are through. Don't believe me that he is a waste of time and a liability to any endgame shell? LOL you be my guest and take him then. Put your money where your mouth is and give this homeless dog a home. He doesn't meet MY standards.

What else are you morons here for if not to come to poor Isotope's aid? To weigh in that you don't like me? Get the fuck out. I know that. You don't have to tell ME ten times. I'm not Isotope.

Take him. He's not my problem any more.

I've made a few enemies out of some members on QCDN who've never even known me in-game. These people are not coming to my aid, most of those who've posted in this thread I do not know, they are merely stating what they've observed.

Stop now and read hte whole thread before you reply to every post. He actually already explained why he doesn't want to make a PLD team leader. If you disagree with that, reply to that. Dont make 5 posts saying the same stuff.

You're making yourself look bad this way, cuz you aren't taking in everything he's said before you reply, which kinda relates to his beef with you in the first place.

Hard to do that while your at work. To read anything I gotta do it in short bursts.

*prays that Sculli tries to merge Isotope's ridiculous multi-posts and manages to delete them in the process*

If you can't post everything at once, there's this amazing program they invented a little while back... I think it's called Notepad.exe. Type your posts in there, name it something that resembles your job, and just bounce back and forth until you've replied to everything. Then copy the text in that Notepad document into QCDN.

But I think you're just spamming your postcount up, and using work as an excuse. 5 minutes between posts... and you say you've gotta do everything in short bursts? Bullshit.


For once, I agree with Peregrine. Isotope = idiot. Why should he have to make allowances for idiots? He's got his way of running the shell, and if one or two people don't seem to -get- that system, then they should get out.

I could really care less about a post-count.... Once you reach a certain # of posts you can make your title on the boards whatever you please & change it as frequently as you please. As for the notepad thing, yes I do agree that would be smart, however as previously stated, I am at work & have people checking my computer screen periodically to make sure I'm not playing videogames or doing other such nonsense at a place of business. I'm lucky QCDN even will come up here. What would happen if I had a notepad or wordpad window open & one of the floor-walking supervisors or the Operations manager were to come by & start reading even just the 1st line of it? I'd be diciplined. One supervisor sits just 3 seats down from me in this little row.

 

[Zylia]

You don't listen. People in the shell, non-leaders, think you don't listen. People outside our shell on this thread think you don't listen. Peregrine ended the discussion on the forums. You restarted it. I told you that if you continued unnecessary drama on our forum, I'd restrict your access. So what'd you do? You came here. Why didn't you post my vulturistic response on QCDN? Telling you that you were causing drama and that I would not have drama.

Excuse me for trying to maintain control of a shell I am a leader in. You were pissing the leads off. All of us. It's hard to nail all four of us at once. We have an Leader only topic on the forum about you specifically. This isn't just Peregrine and me. This is Daveman and Cherron as well vouching for the fact that you were a poor choice to invite. And this topic arose out of many tells from everyday members telling us that we needed to get you under control.

Instead of understanding why we'd want to keep full blown drama off our forums, you ran to here to get support from people you already knew hated Peregrine. That in itself denotes weak character. If you're going to justify what you do, I suggest you avoid the use of the 'Well everyone on QCDN hates Pere anyway, I'll demean him in order to make myself look better' shit. It really gives you no foundation for your own complaint.

Why not read all 8 pages before you even start posting. There are people agreeing here that you're a bad person to invite and also people agreeing with Peregrine even thought they hate him.

My personal theory, I think you were AFK at the start of Jeuno and didn't want to admit it. What kind of tank has to 'set up macros' as you told us to do his job when we're already in the zone???? We've told you before how /assist activates. We told you when we entered the tank order would be Iso > name > name. You fucking stood there. For 2-3 minutes. Our melees stood looking at mobs while you stood there. Finally the other PLD, realizing the tank that had been asked to main, wasn't doing his job and he selected. And you complimented him for 'stepping up'? Where the fuck were you. He was typically the LAST paladin in the order and he selected before you??????

Why couldn't you walk up to a monster and provoke/attack it so that we could get the melees fighting it? Even if there was no /shout, you could've at least done that. You weren't a new paladin. You have no excuse. You know how /assist works, you created a thread about it on our forums about how you wanted things done. Pere told you then how it was done and you rejected it and kept arguing what you wanted. You don't listen.

Anyone wants this guy you can have him. Cheat sheets and all.

And you somehow don't run the same risk while reading QCDN? You obviously have some method to avoid being seen replying to my post, I can't understand why you can't do the exact same, but with notepad.

And postcount does matter to most people, less in the "I have more posts than you, ha ha ha" and more in the "wtf? You had 400 posts yesterday, now you've got 475, quit fucking spamming" sense.

 

[Isotope]

You were pissing the leads off.

The only "leads" I obviously pissed off was Pere, you decided to jump on his bandwagon.

It's hard to nail all four of us at once. We have an Leader only topic on the forum about you specifically.

Doesn't surprise me, nor do I care.

My personal theory, I think you were AFK at the start of Jeuno and didn't want to admit it.We told you when we entered the tank order would be Iso > name > name. You fucking stood there. For 2-3 minutes.

Sorry I don't do that random afk bullshit to others for a smoke, a pee break, a phone call, whatever. & neither do I in an EXP pt. When I AFK, you know beforehand. Telling the tank order didn't happen till after we entered.

Why couldn't you walk up to a monster and provoke/attack it so that we could get the melees fighting it? Even if there was no /shout, you could've at least done that. You weren't a new paladin. You have no excuse. You know how /assist works, you created a thread about it on our forums about how you wanted things done. Pere told you then how it was done and you rejected it and kept arguing what you wanted. You don't listen.

I don't remember Pere doing anything more then the same old "PLD are responsible in making a group decision". Pere shoulda made some job officers, in this case PLD. I woulda accepted that role should it have been offered.

Anyone wants this guy you can have him. Cheat sheets and all.

Ya, that's right! I cared enough about the shell to do my homework unlike most other PLD, so stuff it!

 

[Isotope]

Bottom line... Think ahead, try to increase use of the forums because they bearly get used at all for discussion by members (except for me when I was a member), don't wait till last minute to drop responsibility on others (especially a group & not an individual), have compassion toward the members of your shell. If this was EQ2 (which it's not) & the shell had it's own dwelling & you were the ruler, we'd be living in Freeport not Qeynos. Because you'd be no male version Antonia Bayle, you'd be the Overlord.

 

[Tagrineth]

I think, what it all boils down to is this:

The leaders of any endgame activity linkshell reserve the right to boot someone if they feel that someone is more trouble than they're worth. For whatever reason, the leaders of Invictus decided Isotope was more trouble than he's worth... they have NO obligation to keep anyone in their ranks.

FFXI has no "Right to a Linkshell" laws.

Since Zylia added her input, I'm strongly inclined to believe the decision of Invictus was the right one.

 

[Astyanax]

It's hard to nail all four of us at once.

Sounds like a challenge.

 

[Isotope]

I have no reason to pursue said challenge. Yes there are no "right to a linkshell" laws or rules, but technically they never booted me, I did leave the shell of my own free will after Pere's last outbreak directed at me for her own ignorance. They only thing I've been booted from is their forum after posting here & leaving a small post w/my resignation.

 

[Tymon]

only read the OP since I'm leaving to drive home now

from what I see you're both in the wrong. you misinterpreted your place in the LS and peregrine didn't take enough initiative upon himself to lead his own shell

more from me in about 5 hrs

GOODAFTERNOON AND GODSPEED

 

[Isotope]

You misinterpreted your place in the LS and peregrine didn't take enough initiative upon himself to lead his own shell.

I'm not sure how I misinterpreted my place. I never considered myself a leader, never tried to act like one, wasn't made leader of PLD's didn't try to be one, asked questions (maybe a few other members don't care about or are too afraid to ask) like a member should to be on top of their game & improve the shell. I won't know your reasoning until you get home, but I am a quite curious.

 

[Alerith]

Ummmmm

"I hate to do this but I'm as curious as I am not a fan of your kind. You mention in your scam thread, http://www.qcdn.org/showthread.php?t=25541, you are from the Hades server."


Scam? Hardley. Quite the opposite actually. If you had the oppertunity to trade your old armor for the next level up, and only had to pay half the cost of the new armor, wouldnt you? I see in no way how that is a scam.

 

[Linhjah]

So, I'm confused. Are you still on the Hades server? Are you on the Quetzalcoatl server?

If you are on another server and not Quetzalcoatl, why would you be posting at QCDN instead of another forum for your server?

If you are part of Quetzalcoatl now, say so and leave Hades out of it.

 

[Sneakypants]

Just a clarification. I live in NY. Peregrine is in Kentucky.

Isotope. Theres several people who sent me tells after seeing what I posted on that forum in support. Non-leads. People who are even reading this thread who are still saying that what I did was fine.

You.
Do.
Not.
Listen.
Bottom line.

If anything is learned from this, do not invite Isotope to you're linkshells. Bad decision.

That's why they were locked. I've never locked anyone elses posts. Honest to god. We tell you something. You babble more about your own initiatives. We tell you no, you keep babbling. It has to end at a point. Sorry.

Ask anyone who knows me personally. Outbursts like that from me are few and far between. You really have to do something serious to irk me.

Iso, I think this pretty much sums it up about you.
You almost always display warped perspectives.

That said, I think this is the only time I have ever agreed with you on something. Peregrine is a pathetic piece of shit. He is the only person I have on ignore list here. You aren't even on my ignore list, and I think the comparison should speak volumes, coming from where you and I come from.

I think you should listen to what Zylia says. It's just an observation from an apparently level-headed person. SEVERAL other people have given you the same observations, opinions, instructions, etc before...
But like Zylia said:

You.
Do.
Not.
Listen.
Bottom line.

Take it as an important lesson in life rather than another opportunity to show how personally you can take something.

Yes Peregrine is garbage...So why bother paying an ounce of attention?

 

[Isotope]

Well Sneaky, your opinions of me are your own, I won't try & change your mind, however in reguards to everything else you've said I do acknowledge.

 

[Bumblebetuna]

No, what is funny is your lack of thinking skills. You now truely remind me of this guy...

There to many Pricks in this game

 

[Linhjah]

I do not know Pere at all other than from QCDN. The way he presents himself (i.e. like an asshat) here in many instances turns people off. He gets a lot of backlash for this reason. I think that many of us are just siding with Isotope like he’s the lesser of two evils (how many Isotope flames are there? Its not like he has a spotless record…).

I don't know what took place, but as a leader of any large real life project understands, delegation is important. That is part of being a good leader. I think that delegating the tank order to the tanks is fine.

If the tanks prove they cannot handle this responsibility, you should first try to help them. Pere said he did this. Zylia backed him up. No one who actually had anything to do with the situation is backing Isotope up. I believe Pere. He may have not been really polite or understanding about it, but I believe he did explain, probably more than once.

Another part of being a leader is knowing when to fix your mistakes. You should not have to tell someone the same thing over an over and over and over. When that type of stuff happens, its best to just part ways.

I think that it is best to try to part ways friends (ex. Hey, this isn't working out. This is what we're looking for and how we operate; I'm sorry if that is not the way that you want to do things. Let's just part ways friends.). Telling someone something over and over is incredibly irritating to just about anyone, so I can empathize with losing your temper. But losing your temper in front of those you support (the other ls members and even Isotope himself) does not make people respect you more; it can damage yours reputation and most importantly the relationships you have with those you support irreparably. This can undermine your authority as leader.

As a leader, it isn’t about making friends, its about accomplishing the task at hand. I get that. You are much more productive and successful when there is harmony and people enjoy working together with each other. Remember that Pere. I’m not saying you did the wrong thing by booting Isotope. If you had to explain repeatedly, booting was the right thing. I’m just saying you maybe could have handled the situation differently for better results.

Also, I was completely shocked to just see numerous posts and no polls by Isotope. I am also surprised that I’ve seen no posts from SneakyPants on this subject yet.

And stop with the PC+1 – respond to everything at once. If you don’t have time to do it because you are at work, wait until you get home.
