PGM ISSUE

[email protected]

I took screen shots, I do not appreciate being harassed and badgered by these kids and then slandered on forums, notice the same people who trolling me are ones mad because my guild is #1 and has held it for 2 weeks, they also have cussed at my guild mates and said that we should "Disband as no one can beat us"

I would like to refer to the definition of SLANDER as found at the Merriam-Webster dictionary website:

slander: to make a false spoken statement that causes people to have a bad opinion of someone

I would like to point out that for it to be slander, the statement must be FALSE and it must be spoken.

Let's examine the first point: Are you denying that you left the gate undefended and told the other players that "level 13 fireballs suck" and that you'd let them have this one and beat the hell out of them tomorrow? Do you deny that you continued to taunt said players with comments along the lines of "Fine, we'll get the 30 chests and just keep getting stronger"? Because I cannot speak for others, but those are the comments that showed up on my computer screen. Therefore, repeating what I saw is not slander.

For the second point: What you are possibly trying to accuse others of is libel. However, even with libel, the statements must be false. And in both cases, the sweet point that must be proven is that the statements were made knowing that they were false. Recounting events does not fit this bill. Or are you trying to say the dozen or so people that witnessed this are all lying? Do not try to disprove someone else's facts with your opinion ("mad because my guild is #1 and has held it for two weeks).

If you deny those statements, publicly, that will be the end of it from me as I do not have screen shots of the conversation. In the future, however, I will be sure to take some.

he has now said that Charlie gave him the position of PGM on the 17th. so idk if this is just scammy ...

Well the list may not be updated, I don't know. I got nothing to do with the PGM system. As I said if he's abusing his position, if he is indeed a PGM, then screenshots to Charlie and support will fix the issue.

Same as I told them, if there is evidence to be had for either side, please send it to Cyrus or Charlie, they will handle the matter. Thank you.

PGM has no right to ban tbh, they can only report that's all

  I never said anything about (Banning anyone) I said that if you don't stop harassing me that I will screenshot it and send it to a Gm (Facts: cussing and harassing any player may result in a ban) and what I say about Protect the Seireitei is no reason for you to come in here crying and falsely making statements ((Yes I had my guild leave the gate wide open and said please take it because lvl 13 fireball sucks and kills us even if we get a win... not my fault you passed up a 1st place we gave you a freebie and now your crying because of it??));
so Hydra (yes I know it's you Tanaka told me... and also apologized for his actions and we made amends)  before you try to make things up make sure to cover your bases and take screenshots like I had.
including one's of Tanaka admitting that it was you (who are already got blacklisted by me) being the main 1 behind this.


My exact words, "I will not tolerate you cussing and harassing me and will report you to a Gm if you do not stop"

There is nothing wrong with giving up the gate a day or 2 for fireball reset anyways, I don't know why people would get salty over that. I do it all the time around fireball 10, even though I don't have to.

screens from here on out then.

its just as you saw, it went from them lying about what I say to the truth (being #1 and not disbanding my guild like they are saying I should do in world chat) "Because no one can beat you guys"... If you want to beat us you had your chance, I refuse to disband my guild and will continue to retain a #1 placing as long as possible, you should of taken the freebie

Everythingswrong,

In no way is the following meant to be a personal attack on anyone, it is not personal and NO ONE should take it that way. But I want to take a moment to explain why this is a problem. It is from the point of view of a player that either: a) cannot afford to become a high level VIP or b) is wary of dropping so much money into a game where the benefit to a few outweigh the enjoyment of all. I am going to use the metaphor of a marathon for this.

Suppose you are running a marathon. You are not fast and are near the back of the field. At the 41st km, a race official is there and hands you a finisher's medal and says, "We didn't feel like leaving the finish line open to wait for you, so here. Have a nice day." For those not familiar, a marathon is 42 km. You can see the finish line from there. Are you going to feel accomplished? And you going to feel like the goal you've been working towards has been achieved? No. You wouldn't. So when the defenders do that, what reason is there except to lord over the other players. "We gave you that win." If they don't like the fireballs, too bad. It is designed into the game to give new and low level players at least SOME hope of accomplishing something. What reason is there for the defenders, if they know they are going to lose because the fireballs are too strong, to not defend other than to pacify their ego? If you were running that marathon, would you be happy with that? If you've been beat down every day for 10 days, do you want to be "given" a win? No, you want to earn it. And this is one reason a lot of new or low level VIPs have left. I understand, the big VIPs are the ones that the game developers want. But 100 players spending $20 per month is a lot on one server. Does the one individual or select few surpass that? I am also reminded of a quote I heard once (I am not sure where I heard it, so if someone knows whom to attribute it, please feel free to let me know): I would rather sell 1,000 tickets at $1 each than 1 ticket at $1000.

So a problem that people have with a supposed PGM doing that is simple: the spirit of the game (maybe not necessarily the rules) are being circumvented to pacify those with a high VIP level and ruin the game even further for those that do not have VIP status or came in late to the server. I know of entire guilds that have closed up on US45 due to this being the straw that broke the camels back. We are simply asking that if someone is going to be in that position, they use it for the betterment of the game as a whole and not for the sheer enjoyment of a select few. Thank you.
