(shrug) who knows, I'm feeling like we'll never get Tyhm. :(

grim_squeaker_x 03-11-2001 06:43 AM

Hmm, well it of course depends more fullhearts does make it so that the NPC Scripters will probably make stronger weapons, which would in turn make it so that it is indeed all the same except that it takes longer to get. Although if you calculate it a player with anAP between 20 and 40 would die in 3 blows with the goldsword and with 4 with the lizsword, so in a way it would make people with 20-40 AP die faster. Not that it really matters to me, I'm the oppostie of a PKer. ^_^

FatherDante 03-11-2001 06:47 AM

I'd say even the best stuff from Tyhm's resolution won't address attitudinal inherency- that is to say, bad players make for a bad playing experience. That's why nations is a good idea, it might straighten things out some. But the "creme de la creme," so to speak, of the Graal players are on Graal2001.

Oh well, Tyhm is the master of his own business.

grim_squeaker_x 03-11-2001 06:49 AM

Well making the Classic players play in Nations will make them slightly more like we are and force them to cooperate (sp?) in certain cases. And well there are smoe people who haven't paid who could be counted to "de creme de la creme".

FatherDante 03-11-2001 06:57 AM

Well, certainly we left some good players behind on CGM, but we brought few bad players with us. So it's not so much that CGM = Bad players, it's just the G2k1 = good players.

grim_squeaker_x 03-11-2001 06:59 AM

I'm one of the (If you check versions at least) newbies who found their way to Graal2001 though, not that newbies are bad in all cases.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 07:11 AM

Yeah, but you guys also have Antago and Lycia. This does not favor your server....
Lomgren is correct. The Goldsword will be limited to a certain area. Maybe, eventually, I might create a Paladin Nation that can carry the goldsword as long as they maintain 100 AP...

grim_squeaker_x 03-11-2001 07:13 AM

Well Dante did say that we have a lot of good players, but some bad ones too, and who are the good ones and who are the bad ones is of course something completely personal.

And if I play CGM when/if the Paladin nation comes online I'll join 'em, I used to be the guy who was second on the saints list so I should fit right in. :)

FatherDante 03-11-2001 07:55 AM

Antago quit and Lycia can't script NPCs or make very good levels. Tyhm, you know that you're a level making saint. You could make cool stuff for us if you wanted to!

Fai 03-11-2001 07:56 AM

Yes when it was first released.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 08:09 AM

Eh,
 
I'm decent. Stefan's better. If he can't do it, no way I can.
And Antago certainly SEEMS to be back...

FatherDante 03-11-2001 08:58 AM

Antago just showed up out of nowhere and mysteriously made 4 tight pictures. [shrug]

Crono Illusion 03-11-2001 09:00 AM

I haven't seen Antago on the server for almost a month... Therefore, I think he's quit.

Fai 03-11-2001 09:00 AM

He just made 2 posts ***** HAHA

FatherDante 03-11-2001 09:02 AM

I know he quit, he said so. I don't think you could really say he made two posts, he didn't even say anything! It's too weird...

Nai 03-11-2001 09:36 AM

yay! Tyhm coming to G2K1!!!!!!!!!

i think that's only because you're looking at it from the "player killer" perspective. Not EVERYONE is a cold blooded murderer on Classic but 90 percent of them are

freddyfox 03-11-2001 10:23 AM

I've got an idea! Lets make the golden sword kinda have flames all over it, and we'll make it so only the paladin nation can use it, and we'll call it the Fiery Avenger!

FatherDante 03-11-2001 10:36 AM

I'm certainly not a player killer I've killed about 2 people in my entire life on Graal. But it affects everyone- non-playerkillers die too. Besides, if you're not going to kill people, why would you want a gold sword anyway?

Lycia 03-11-2001 10:37 AM

Antago needs to come back.

vergil 03-11-2001 10:52 AM

Dante, it's an RPG. You get swords, you get items, it's just part of the game. You feel as your character is more important if he has the most powerful sword in the Graalian world, no?

If you're not going to kill, why want anything? Why want a sword at all? Why want bombs or arrows? Why PLAY? I think you are mistaken... Graal isn't a game about killing.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 11:15 AM

Huh?
 
I never said I was going to G2K1...in fact, I specifically said I wouldn't. Don't think I could if I wanted to. Antago and Lycia are both of high esteem on this server, and despite occasional attempts at friendship between abusing players, I don't get along with either of them.

Lycia 03-11-2001 12:04 PM

High esteem?

Explain.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 12:24 PM

Of high esteem, meaning held IN high esteem, meaning even if I could prove to the admins that you guys were clearly abusing your power and driving away players and you lost your administrative powers, it would only be a matter of time before they decided to give you yet another second chance. I mean, Lycia, how many guilds do you have to destroy or try to destroy before you run out of second chances? How many more times can Antago insult the "peasants" and quit before they change the locks?

You two are favored by the admins, regardless of your admin status.

Lycia 03-11-2001 12:27 PM

Errrrr, I haven't done anything since January, Tyhm. My record has been clean since then, so hi.


Clearly, my second chance is being a success because I don't abuse my powers on G2k1.


greezi 03-11-2001 12:29 PM

You did abuse your powers?

Lycia 03-11-2001 12:30 PM

eh?

greezi 03-11-2001 12:37 PM

Have you every abused your powers on New Main or Classic?

Lycia 03-11-2001 12:54 PM

Hmmm, I didn't do anything terribly bad on Classic. Most of it was easily fixed, but no, I haven't abused my powers on G2k1.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 01:27 PM

(Since January)

freddyfox 03-11-2001 01:41 PM

The famous last words!@

FatherDante 03-11-2001 03:16 PM

Tyhm, we already told you Antago is long gone, so he's not a problem, and Lycia, well...

She's not held in high esteem. :) Lycia is just a somewhat important person on the server, and you can never count on getting along with important persons. But in terms of actual esteem, Mr Bear, Hawk, Stefan, they're much higher.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 03:22 PM

I disagree on both counts. Antago's back enough to make your sig, all he has to do is ask Stefan and he'll have an admin rank. And as for Lycia, she'll never be without RC for more than a week, no matter what she does.

FatherDante 03-11-2001 03:31 PM

But by definition, to be held in high esteem is to be respected and admired. Compared to most other staff on G2k1, that's not Lycia at all.

Tyhm 03-11-2001 03:58 PM

Which is why I specified By The Admins.

FatherDante 03-11-2001 04:02 PM

um... not until just now. :)

FatherDante 03-11-2001 04:08 PM

Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I can't convince you, so I guess it's just G2k1: No tyhm!

Excuse me, but you did do at least one thing on Classic that is still not fixed, Lycia. When you were a GP (and therefore a representative of Graal itself), you, when the opportunity presented itself, went into the Avelon Guild Manager and systematically deleted all the members of Avelon.

At first, you denied having done it, but when proof was brought forward you grudgingly admitted it. Of course you spent most of your posts repeating that you had not hacked anything when no one had accused you of hacking, as a way to shift the focus off what you had done. And you made it clear that because you were a GP, that should make you less responsible, instead of more responsible, somehow.

And when other people started criticising you for your behavior, you did finally kind of apologize on the forum... although, I don't consider it a real apology if you say you're sorry with one breath then comment that you don't see that what you did was actually so bad with the next.

And then, after you found out that all you were getting as a punishment was one day's suspension from Graal, I actually spoke with you on Graal about the whole thing (on a different account, of course). And I clearly told you that the very least you could do as a Christian (which you have vehemently proclaimed to be so often) or just as a truly sorry person would be to apologize sincerely to the Avelon guild members.
You never bothered to even try. That showed me how sorry you were. As I've said before, actions speak so much louder then words.

And please, Do Not tell me again that it was a minor thing. I find this highly offensive. Especially since you were a member of TAW when Contego deleted their members so you knew exactly how it would feel and how it would affect the members. Anyone who runs a guild knows it takes alot of effort and time and even trust to make it strong and keep it going. It is very demoralizing to the members to have the security of the guild breached in such a way. And by a GP, no less.

And Avelon isn't even the only guild you've messed with. I believe there was also an altercation with NBK? And now you claim to have totally mended your ways but I look at what you're doing with SM and I can't believe it. You are purposely putting SM in your tag and avatar, even though you are not a member or even a pending member. Your continued casual claim to the right to the SM tag is causing arguments and strife within that guild, but because at this moment you want to be in SM, you don't seem to care about the guild itself, just what you want. Again... your actions are belying your words.

Good luck only lasts so long.


BTW, I'll be more then happy to provide proof of anything I claimed to do with Avelon... I did save all 80 pages or so of the Avelon thread from the old message board before it was shut down, and I have our conversation logged, too. :)

FatherDante 03-11-2001 04:54 PM

This is my little Lycia anecdote:

At the time when there was some controversy over a number of SM members leaving because of Lycia, there was also a situation with her being removed from the GP force.

She consequently casually published an "imortant" message on GRN, reminding players that they have to obey all staff, not just GPs and LATs, as though defending the better rights of the Graal staff.

Well, other staff, who could that be? [scratches head] FAQ captains?

This is the one thing I never told her about that really really annoyed me. :)

I wasn't the only one involved, so, if you want to point fingers, then go point them at the other peoples involved.

The Avelon thing was done while off the RC, thus, cannot be included in anything GP related since it had nothing to do with my actual duties of being a GP. I did admit it. I did apologize to the leaders and to the public on the old boards.

I "kind of" apologized? I _DID_ apologize. I even apologized on the GPCP in front of my co-workers, so please, give me more credit than "kind of."

Nah, what Contego did to his own guild was his decision. It was his guild, he could do whatever he felt like with it. I had no say in it until Contego gave me the guild in October, thus, making me the new owner and leader of TAW. It THEN became my business and responsibility. What does Avelon have to do with my GP performance?

The NBK thing has already been straightened out with both me and Bhala. I thought I had authorization to do it from Bhala, but there was a miscommunication between us both and it lead to this. Nothing major happened, nothing was majorly screwed with because I told Shayde to not do it and he also willingly put control of NBK back in Darkman's hands. So please, spare me on that detail.

The deal with SM, well, all I can say is this. I am not screwing with SM. I went into the guilds board, posted peacefully as a new member, I got attacked by a few members in the guild who had prior problems with me that didn't have anything to do with the guild, and they attacked me. Yes, I care about SM, yes, I want to be loyal to it, and I have been thus far. I don't even wear my JF and TAW tags anymore. I don't see your point. Most of the members that had problems with me don't anymore and now want me in the guild, so, please, get your facts straight.
