OP said...

So does that mean I get to stand in a pitch black room in a spotlight while two hula hoops rotate around me, inexplicably keeping me in place while I address a faceless Council of Hami Raid Leaders? If my complaint fails, do I get banished into a two-dimensional piece of floaty glass? If so sign me up! If only so I can write about it here

How exactly would this adjudication process take place? Who votes? What are their qualifications? Again, how would any decision you make be enforced?

....and so ends the story of "How J-Man got his Pony"

Goddess, I've spoken to you before, I think you're funny and I liked our convo. I hate to tell you that your sig pic looks like you are eating a booger.

EDIT: I see you've changed the pic. Your new sig is awesome. NICE!

J-Man, why do you always wait until the dust is just starting to settle to get your shots in? So now that you're here, don't we have an Anniversary party to plan?

Ok, here's the fish I was looking to catch. No, not you Laser, but the post above you. Like I've said in most of my posts here this thread was never meant to be a debate or argument but a rather a highly sarcastic, mildly insulting, tongue-in-cheek reaction to a Hami-Raid where excessive attitude was thrown around. Threats like blacklisting, as harmless as they are, will cause players like me to annoy people like that without actually doing any harm to the actual goal. I didn't mention the SG by name since I figured everything would eventually come out in the open, but yeah most of the comments that ticked us off were from the same SG. This wasn't about defense of a use of a power, so if you say you saw frame rates drop I believe you, but if the same SG is trying to give an order while being disrespectful at the same time, people like me will disobey it for the fun of it. Not everyone that was doing it was J-Force. That being said, with the exception of Destiny powers, our members still did what they normally do during a Hami Raid.

It's true that no one was kicked from the league, and Lieran didn't kick anyone from your SG from the BAF she ran shortly after. No one I knew was really mad, but that won't stop me from bringing it up on the forums to comment. It's a nostalgic week and it the reactions I saw at Sunday's reminded me of what I've seen here before over the last seven years. If someone uses that as an opportunity to attempt to trash the reputation of one of our members...well, you see what happens.

There are no hard feelings on this end, we enjoy situations like this. There shouldn't be any lingering issues going forward. Whether you realize it or not J-Force members are regulars at Hami Raids past and current and it's been years...well maybe a year, since there have been issues with our SG and Hami Raiders. We tend to follow the law of static.

Maybe a part of the communication issue is that we don't all really know each other. I see names and SG's but I have no way to seperate leaders from the peanut gallery. If you'd like send me a PM with contact information of leaders and the actual name of the SG since I'm still not 100% sure what the name is. My global is @Mr Trix (at least I hope it is otherwise I just sent billions to some lucky toon) if you want to contact me in game.

LOL productive conversation...SUCKER!!!!!

Laser, I have no idea how to encourage you in a proper manner while you are in Amsterdam. I just hope you're having a blast!

I remember that happening when one of the experimental strategies was to form a big cluster of blasters to snipe the mitos. Snipe snipe snipe, boom!

I was looking back in the J-Force thread and there was an invitation by Rystorm for us to join a Hami Raid with over 200 mitos. Does anyone remember how the mechanics of that worked? Wasn't it like if you didn't kill hami before the timed mito bloom, then a corresponding mito would bloom for every toon (dead?) in the goo? I think I actually have a screenshot shot back then I'll hunt for it later.

Whoa! WB Section!

No, I don't have to see anything from your perspective, which I can tell really really bothers you. I understand you want to try to tell people how to play, Hami Raid leaders should be followed blindly and that you're still very bitter about accidentally clicking an Ouro portal and getting locked out of the Hive. My response is "I don't care."

You want to turn this into an argument so badly that you'll go as far to discount my recollection of Hami history when you weren't even on Freedom. "I can say for at least a few months..." ??? Seriously? "The presence of a few "good times" hardly merit a frequency." How can you make a conclusion like that without even having been there? Why even address something like that when you have no idea what you are talking about? Do you really believe "I think this may have been how it was" has any validity compared to to "I was there, this is how I saw it"? I didn't take anything you have to say seriously to begin with, now I don't think I need to waste time reading your posts. I don't mind debating, but if you're going to do it, please do it well. We're not even playing the same game here.

So anyway, while I have some peeps starving for dramacorn, here's the scoop. During last weeks Hami Raid there was call out for people to stop using Destiny Powers, this was followed by the "leaders" threatening that anyone who disobeyed, would be barred from recieving invites to any future Hami Raids. Reaction was silly order, silly threat. Now the player in question, who I'll now reveal to be Lieran, took offense to this. In addition to being JFS, a Freedom vet, and player who a lot of you have teamed with on a regular basis, Lieran runs BAF raids on almost a daily basis which often includes members of the SG that was sending out general threat of a Hami Ban. So she sent in tells that she would do the same with her BAFS. The SG leading the Hami Raid threw out a lousy attitude, Lieran threw one back. As stated earlier she was over it when the raid was finished and didn't kick anyone from that SG from a BAF run shortly afterwards. I was trying to figure out where this whole "League of Extraordinary Bunnies" thing came from, it turns out she was on her bin alt. Lieran's not some isolated RP'er.

So yeah, we hit Destiny powers at appropriate times, It wasn't just JFS either there were some hitting destiny we couldn't account for. I don't know if anyone of us had barrier. I wish I did I would have hit it and sat there after my one hit. Maybe I'll get it now.

What's funny is now we have some joker trying to discredit someone who already has a firm reputation among people that matter. Assumptions were made about her playstyle based on one Hami Raid where it had nothing to do with determination to use a particular power, but rather a response to a bad attitude. We have assumptions that she's a griefer coming from someone who has actually teamed with her twice, one being a successful Masters of the Lambda Run where none of the hypothetical raid ruining of any sort took place. Sure, but don't follow bad direction and you're a griefer. LOL So now some guy has been trying to trash Lieran. She doesn't really care. I kinda care because I like sticking up for our female SG members and you all know how I feel about threads like this So you've tried to sully the reputation of a fine standing Freedom Veteran, based on a mid Hami Raid ego clash that really had nothing to do with you or what you claim it does. You've claimed Lieran would be a negative asset to a team when through experience you know better. So who is really the bad guy in the situation? Better question: Who cares?

This was never meant to be a debate, but rather open mocking of a recurring attitude when it comes to Hami over the last six years. Since you asked me to address it...You have to understand that you've presented the same argument regarding Hami Raids that had been placed in mothballs for a few years. (See the Tammy saga((I actually came to like Tammy after that)) What this server already knows is that Raid leaders aren't as necessary as they feel they are. Hami vets already know that some instructions don't need to be followed in order to be successful. Especially ones that aren't based on any real facts. I already know that, Freedom Forum readers already know that.

Attempting to define griefing is useless, since the only definition of griefing that matters is what gets petitioned and what receives punishment, not some usefulness versus annoyance ratio or intent analysis. I've been involved with Raids where the entire Hive was crying "griefer!" for over 15 minutes and we kept doing what we were doing even after the GM drone flew over paused and then flew. No one was punished, therefore no griefing Yes, this post is just to remind the vets of that story. I should have gotten together with J-Man and done a Memory Lane Story entitled "If you rez J-Man you're griefing!!!"

What's hypocritcal is that you fail to mention that the person in question and myself along with a few of my friends teamed with you on a successful Master of the Lambda last week. Though if someone doesn't do as they're told and follow instructions that don't matter, you have to portray them as a hypothetical acid holder or trial ruiner or whatever melodramatic imaginary scenario you want to present. Smear their character if they don't obey. Classy. If you are really that offended by teaming with "people like that" you should strip your toon of that Master of the Lambda title until you earn it again without their help.

If I don't like the way something is run I'm more likely to stay and comment here. It's fun for me Other than being a wiseguy I play along even if I don't agree. See ya in the Hive!

Of course it's Destiny powers, even though Positron says it's something else. So once again, I repeat, please do not use your Destiny Powers in a Hami Raid. You got that? Especially Barrier, don't use Barrier in a Hami Raid, or else. The wrath of the one star and the sense of entitlement of people locked out of the Hive are looming Hami Raiders!!! Destiny power users you have been warned!

FWIW, the person sending you nasty tells lead a BAF and she let someone from your (or the one that took credit for the raid) SG stay on without kicking them. It was fun for me because while I was making fun of those Hami leaders that person said boo to defend them.
