A history lesson

Well Put.

I will add that if this had happen through some exploit, I would probably feel a little differently about the situation. The fact is that where we play, other players can be freely attacked and that can indeed happen during a face to face transaction. It has happened to one of my own members. Luckily he was at a bank and was able to bank the item before he took too much damage. My point is, if you're going to do a face to face sale transaction, be aware this can happen. While I am sorry to hear of the situation, placing the item on a vendor could have avoided this whole mess.

@ Tib - Members of your own guild have done the same exact thing... numerous times. And trust me, at this point, most of us are glad that you left. You know that saying about "true colors"? Its funny how long it took for yours to show.
True colors eh? Exactly what have I done that is so bad? Come out and fight your stealth tamer gank sqauds? Kill Hat's alt in the house while i was still accessed there? That is the only thing I can think of that was probably not a good idea. I honestly thought it was kinda funny as I was going after all the tamers in the house and not looting. Did I intend to cause as much grief as it did? No, not at all, I just wanted to house kill some tamers. Honestly it was a knee jerk decision that i wish I had not done since it did really seem to bother Hat more than I thought it would. Other than that one action what else have I done? I have not res-killed and dog-cussed your members over and over again as yours did to me a couple weeks ago. Thing about true colors honey is when one takes off the rosey colored glasses you can see them.

Now back to the topic; Kat I hope you are aware that not only was a signifigant portion of your guild aiding Duracell last night but were also offering him protection in THEIR homes. Spin it how you want darling but that pretty much is a stamp of approval of his actions. You should probably get your own house in order before making statements that are not backed up by virtual reality:).

Duke, If I were you I'd move on at this point. Consider it a learning experience, get a vendor, and do not do in person business with people who you do not know.

What I find somewhat amusing about this is that the saying "An eye for an eye" refers to the notion that for every wrong done there should be a compensating measure of Justice.

Sprago, whether or not you feel you're Duracell's 'keeper', you're still his guild leader. Just by the assossication, his negative actions reflect on not only the guild, but your reputation as well...
While we are on the subject...

I was informed last night of one of my guild members deeds. He killed and dry looted a NEW member two or three times, or maybe two or three NEW members, not sure on the details. It was discussed briefly on what course of action to take, if any at all. I was reminded that he is a representation of our guild ( murderers and thieves ), and that player justice could ensue.

While I personally do not kill or steal from NEW members, I cannot and will not tell anyone else how to play the game that they are paying a monthly subscription for. I am a libertarian to the core ( not talking politics ), and I will not be taking any action against this player... as he is just...playing.

NEW members know there are those who don't honor the NEW guild, they are still at risk of being killed and looted, the risk is the same if they are killed and looted from a monster. If his actions cause player justice to come upon us, so be it! I know and enjoy the risks of Siege! ;)

yep diablo thantis, darkness x, noobified, duracel, vas or flam in nox, papa georgio, william wallace,etc and some other

I pretty much trust Pyrite's word, but if you are these characters, you told us less than a year ago that you were 14. If you are also Leroy Jenkins, you were guilded with us for a short time over a year ago and he is in the 14-16 range as well. Someone seems to have a little difficulty with the truth.

Yes that is him... He is Sharks son. I'm not sure if you remember Shark from EVO but that's him.

Once upon a time there was shard called siege perilous.

Once upon a time there wasa thing called player justice.

Once upon a time guilds were judged by thier members actions.

Once upon a time the only way for a guild/alliance not to be judged by thier members action was to make the member correct said action.
If unable to correct the action in question then the only two options left to the guild in question were to

A. Boot the offending member.

B. Suffer the same treatment as the offending member.

Guild leaders are often forced to make such unwanted decisions on this shard.
Those were also the days when most guilds had honour, understood what guilds actually were - the purpose of a guild - and gave a fook about their own guild and it's representation in the eyes of the shard whether they chose to be good guys or evil guys, honour was there. Unfortunately those days are looong gone.

The swindlers and rulebreakers were usually one man bands because guilds just wouldn't accept them into the fold when their activities became known.

He's not the same Leroy Jenkins, Duracell is French, young Leroy isn't.

Age doesn't matter. I know plenty of folks on SP who act like 12 year olds...when they are 25+

Sad, really...

We are a guild! We do have honour, maybe not personal honour, but as a guild, we stand by one another. His actions may cause reprecussions for us all, and we stand as one, The Outsiders [O-S]. We are an evil guild, don't be suprised if we act evil. You should be suprised rather, if we act civil. The rules of society are that we act civil, that we value our fellow man ( or woman ) as we value ourselves... the societies have cast us out, we are no longer bound to the politics of them. They didn't value us, why should we value them? We are The Outsiders! :)

I have to agree with Tibs on this one, I have nothing against you Sprago and as far as I know you're a pretty repuable dude but this definitely puts a damper on your squeeky clean name. Birds of a feather.....

Duke - I am not his friend. I do not know Duracell, nor do I care to. He is not in my guild and we are not allied. In fact, I prefer to see him dead as often as possible.

When I said I was sorry to hear this happened, it was not an appology. I was not involved in this "transaction" in any way shape or form and have no reason to "appologize". I am, however, sorry to hear that the situation occured. What you fail to realize is that you do not dictate the terms under which I offer my regrets.

Further, I am under no obligation to have my guild fight your battles. In case you have yet to come to the realization, you are playing Siege Perilous. The land where you are indeed, in peril at all times. You were attacked, killed and looted. That, my friend, is legal gameplay. It happens day in and day out. I am sorry you have had to learn this lesson so shortly after your arrival here, but my advice is to take the lesson, learn from it and seek your revenge. This is what ignites the flame of Siege Perilous... The ability to get your revenge.

As I said before, if you had been scammed or the item had been taken through the use of some exploit, you would very likely have the backing of my guild.
You worded that very well and even made me change the way I looked at the situation. If I'm ever in trouble and need a lawyer I will call on you to defend me.

You may call on Kitty Kat Cochran anytime.

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit! :thumbsup:

I'm not going to label you as good or bad. You do have your history to live with.

Two thing you need to remember:
Karma can be a pancake and respect is earned.

Giving back the mace was a good move :thumbsup:

I have a long memory. When you made your char GeNeRaL RuInEr on this shard you joined NEW and you were booted from the guild for the same reason Slug was booted. If you have been attacked around the house then perhaps someone else has a long memory too.
