Players To Watch Out For - The ReturnFollow

Wow, this thread went from a warning of bad players to a flame thread, who would have thunk it....

Well Aluace I dont kick it on ventrillo so I go by what I read, and "he" lends you nothing to believe "he" can speak a bit of English.

And being that I dont hit on online people, I go by their character. "He" plays a girl character, so I call that a "she." Both points basically irrelevant to the tale, Daniella sucks my junk.

So the other day I was decided my Gaxe was below par. So I took my thf up to jimmy and started getting really good skill ups... then Machtaru came along and MPKd me. ZOMG! Jimmy was down to 50% AND I got like 2-3Lv ups in 5min FLAT! yes... 5min FLAT! Gawd mach you have some nerve... I hate you.


Edit: meh my Gaxe needed skilling instead of sword. Makes more sense that way.

I've held this in so as not to hijack the thread, but I just can't take it anymore.

Who the crap is Jimmy?

Is this a place, like slang for 'Boyhada Tree'

(Yo yo, me an' Sephiroth be goin' up to jimmy to smackdown some goobers, know what I'm sayin'?)

or is it a guy

('Jimmy, I need you. It's skill up time again.')

or an NM

('JIMMY POP!....CLAIM!....oh man, I'm getting me a Jimmy Club today, yessir.')

or is it just a standard, like being 'up to par'?

('Well, I think my THF is finally up to jimmy...time to apply to one of those HNM linkshells.')

I don't think I've ever seen a term used with that much ambiguity. That's hilarious. ;)

Jimmy = Jormungand

Timmy = Tiamat

Vinny = Vrtra

He definatley did not react the right way, but (and i have not played whm in some time) I always thought haste order was Tank > Melee DD regardless of tank type (nin/war/pld).

I agree Shuzo should not have stopped provoking/tanking because he was upset over not having haste.

However, I think (as I am sure fellow mages would agree) tanks should get haste regardless of Ninja or Paladin.

Especially with a RDM in party, hasting all melee jobs shouldn't be a problem.

When playing my DRG I always like to have haste on (high delay weapon) as my PLD I'm not bothered. I'm certainly not gonna ***** about having haste put on me, but I'd rather the high delay weapon DDs got it first.

To be fair, the PLD was perfectly in line asking for Haste... Raptors have an attack that causes a slow status effect. If he was asking for haste that much, it could possibly have just been because he got hit with the attack and was slowed, which would affect his ability to tank.

But tanking in a scorpion harness? Laff. He loses points for that.

I'll second Shuzo for this list, not because he's bad, but because he will get you killed if you don't immediately obey his every word.

The first sign that things were amiss was the Scorpion Harness.

Now, when Rubix and I pt together we have a system where WHM hastes and I Refresh. We've done this from 40 on. So we were minding our business, everything goes smoothly, until Shuzo just kinda...stops...and Rubix buys the farm. Didn't say anything then, just stood there. No "Busy" dot by his name, nothing. Party goes on. He starts ranting about haste again, and then he ceases tanking and lets the Velociraptor start chomping on whoever it feels like; namely, me. Rest of the party frantically tries to get hate off me (temporarily, enough time for me to sleep it and tell everyone to disengage and run) when we notice Numbskull running with us. Back in Cape Terrigan, and once everyone is healed, he is given a complimentary Warp II, and kicked (not sure if he left on his own or was kicked though).

And then the /tells began.

Here is my end of the conversation (Note: mild language), which was brief due to my unwillingness to let the matter last.

Now I'll be perfectly happy to admit that I should have been hasting him more. But to allow the party to die because he wasn't getting Haste?!

I'm irked. I have been irked.

I try to be an accomodating player. I understand that I'm not the only person on the server, that sometimes other people are trying to do their own thing...competition occurs where another player and I could both individually benefit (mining, for instance), but if someone else could get greater gain from something than I could, I'll let them alone.

Because this takes so little to do, it burns me when someone else refuses to do it, even when asked nicely. This is not a heinous offense, but the fact is that this was totally pointless and uncalled for, and it wrecked my night.

I was out by the Ifrit's zone in Yhoator Jungle tonight, all on my little lonesome, levelling BST on Bouncers and Hunters. No one was around; I was levelling without /anon, and it said in my search comment that I was camping at I-7. I was not bothering anyone, and I tried to pick a spot where no one would be likely to go.

By and by, I get my exp, and before long I'm 1200 TNL. I decided to stick with it until I levelled, although I was pretty tired.
And here comes someone, out of the blue, and starts killing Bouncers: a Mithra THF named Suezou.

Whatever, I thought, there are plenty for just two of us. So I get another with my pet clearly visible, go back and fight and kill it. When I come back out, EVERY GOB was gone.

I stopped, I looked everywhere; then I see this Suezou, standing there and fighting a gob. I try really hard to swallow my disappointment and irritation, and be nice; I'm not as obvious as a party, after all.

'Could you please kill these somewhere else?' I said. 'I'm only 1000 tnl, I just want my lvl so I can leave.'

She ignores me, and continues killing gobs. I manage to grab another, and go down the tunnel, kill it...and when I come back up to grab my second coeurl and continue, well, guess what?

A party had snagged it, and dragged it all the way to the Ifrit's zone, and was killing it. Two of these, and two only, pop in that area; with just one I couldn't level.

I logged, 900 tnl. Thanks a lot, guys. I hope every gob in the place linked on your puller, and I hope you end up as frustrated as I did tonight.

I strongly suggest we adopt this as Bismarck-slang we can have the bonus of being the only people who know what we're talking about, with the added reward of it being funny.
