Not a *** thread – just a warning to others organizing events on Sylph
Held a pick-up dyna-xarc run on Fairy, 21MAR10, got about 35 people. Someone outside ls gave a glass to Samusamu who proceeded to lot everything that dropped. We asked people to lot currency that Samusamu won so that it could be returned to the sponsor, but he still got ~30 pcs. Sponsor was going for thf af2 and normal currency, all other af2 and 100pcs were freelot with comment. When thf af2 dropped, samusamu lotted low and the sponsor beat him. Then Treyvan lotted and promptly got himself killed. I raised him with 3 minutes to go before the drop timer but he wouldn’t get up or return tells. People tried to outlot him, one succeeded but passed for some reason. He hp’d as soon as he got the drop.
tl;dr version
- Samusamu (uninvited, probably a mule) lotted everything. He even stole a war af2 from one person that actually wanted it! So sad.
- Treyvan ninja-lotted thf hands, got lucky, hp’d and logged.
I know this probably wont matter with the merge/name change/etc, but hey, more info the better.
As for RB (sponsor), we will get him his hands someday… unfortunately with work/school, none of us have enough regular free time to maintain the old dyna shell at the moment… hence the pickups. In time, I guess.
To address the usual replies/arguments I have already read:
- “Treyvan was trying to help outlot Samusamu” – nope, he had a raise and lots of time to get up. He stole the af plain and simple.
- “It was a pickup dyna” – we all know that there is an inherent risk with pickup dyna. Once the glasses are handed out, it only takes one person to totally screw an entire group over. I do not mean to defend pickup dynamis (or pickup anything), just to pass on info about dirty players.
- “oh no my fake stuff is gone you guys ><!” – lame argument for someone who is posting on a mmo website.
Thanks for reading and sorry for the lame drama/oldest story in ffxi.
Cheers,
Trig
