They ask silently for me to join, I silently refuse. No problem. It's
when the meatball clicks "invite" several more times that I get pissed
off... Then they get /ignored forever.

In any case, if I have no LFG tag showing, it means I do not want a
group. Great thing, that LFG thing - if I want a group, I use it 😉

You told me what his brain was doing. In your own words, "his little rat
brain was cudgeling itself"...

Projection, claims of psychic powers, the voice of god, it matters not. You
don't know because it's simply impossible to know with any degree of
certainty. =P

Stupidity and gullibility on a scale you demonstrate borders on

So, why do you try and guess what was in HIS head and in the original
poster's? The option taken, based on the guy's lamentable performance
so far, was the best one. Your bleeding heart notwithstanding.

I don't try and guess what was in his head. Simple as that.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone this plowed this early in the day for

Well, off to the ol' KF for another 30, maybe you'll grow up enough to
quit babbling just to see your own name in print.
But I doubt it.

Ahh biz, you know I keep you out of my killfile just for the amusement of
seeing you rail against the various and sundry. Of all the people that read
and post to this group, you are at the very bottom of the list of people I
have an interest in having an actual discussion with. =P

(Post intentionally written in such a way that the first time bizbee will
see it is when he's trolling back over old posts on Google, so he can steam
without the option of responding.) =)

This is about his fourth trip into my KF, just for the sheer lameness
of brainlessly arguing and posting todays equivalent of the content of
the old AOL <me too!> posts. Nothing like dl'ing thirty messages, and
twenty of them are from some idiot calling people names and
disagreeing just to disagree. It's almost like having Taras here
again.

Just out of curiosity... would you welcome this guy in YOUR guild, or
are you just playing Devil's Advocate for a bit of sport?

Necessarily playing devil's advocate, as A) my guild takes level 70 players
in EQ, and B) my guild has an unsurpassable screening process, and if you
get in you're in until you do something to get removed *while* in.

Given his style in this discussion, I'd call that a nice way of saying
"trolling". 😛

Allow me to spell it out for you. Just because he did not forgive the guy
does not directly translate to "could not."

No, you apparently don't.

What it does insinuate is that my lack of forgiveness was a foregone
conclusion and there's nothing that would suggest that other than your own
predisposition toward that conclusion.

LOL you're a piece of work, Faned. I could try and point out how transparent
are your stubborn attempts to rationalize your unfortunate starting position
in this discussion, but the ref is about to call me for piling on. ;-)

I wasn't planning to respond to any more of your posts because I think
you're just being childishly stubborn now, but there's one more comment to
make in light of this message. One of the dynamics that's in play here is
that the EQ2 world is very different from the EQ world you're familiar with.
The servers are still young and guilds are still in their most embyronic
stages just getting off the ground. Your "unsurpassable screening process"
may be relevant in EQ, but it doesn't exist in this context and that
difference is one of the reasons you're having trouble connecting with my
reality.

His apology didnt cut it. I think most people would feel that way.

In article <5f3ov0hlr4iqi5p6s2pmcaok8uq94dkrk9@4ax.com>, damon-

A lot of people who aren't lfg are willing to group.

I agree a drive by click-invite is a big "don't", but I get tremendously
good results with a simple polite tell asking if they'd be interested in
joining forces, or better still an in person 'say' during their
downtime. (I always do it from the same zone, usually within sight of
them) Sometimes they decline but never has anyone given me a line about
how if they were lfg they'd have their tag up.

I do love ignoring those guys that 'hover' near a group though, ooc'ing
"classX LFG" over and over. If they actually ask us (rare occurance)...
they are usually invited.

My absolute favorite though is this coming through on ooc over a 10
minute span:

....
Monk 50 LFG
Warrior 49 LFG
Cleric 44 LFG
Warrior 49 LFG
Cleric 44 LFG
Monk 50 LFG
Warrior 49 LFG
Cleric 49 LFG
Monk 50 LFG
....

Come on people... its not rocket science.

You see, that's fine, that's not what I'm complaining about. What I'm
complaining about is when I'm off hunting solo and, usually in the
middle of a fight, BOOM! Group invite. This isn't confined to EQ or
newbie levels. I had it happen a lot in the level 40-50 zones in CoH.
In fact, I had it more often there than in the newbie zones,
surprisingly enough.

Yes, he's had no-one agree with him, so with all his other ramblings
he's just flapping his gums whilst he pisses into the wind. I agree
with you - I think we should leave him there, alone, with his most
appreciative audience....

Trust me, that is down to understanding human nature, not "psychic
powers" 😀 You analyse someone's past actions, draw suitable
conclusions, then use those conclusions to assess how he will behave
in future. If - as we all have - the likelihood seems he will be just
as big a wanker in future, you bin him. You aren't familiar with
understanding human nature, obviously...

'Bye Faned - enjoy yourself out there 😉)

My most frequent pickup groups in EQ came from running to camp
spots and simply /say Hey guys, anyone here need a 65 mage?

if no response, wave and head out.

if I got a "we're full, sorry" type response
DS tank, mod rod the obvious casters, wave and head out

Often, however I got an invite, or a tell later to see
if I was still looking.

I did, get an unexpected invite from someone in WoW a while
back that I really appreciated. Got jumped by hogger on my
warrior and was about to beat feet when I got a heal and a group
invite - obviously a group thinking of taking him. I accepted,
we dropped him and everyone got their piece to finish the quest.

Faned omits anything that doesn't fit with his "turn the other cheek
and forgive" pose. His standard answer to anything.

Ah, he realises he's a loser, and is now shifting his argument to
semantics 😀 Oh dear, how sad.

>And cat tongues are rough. Ask your girl.

....and yet another sign he's losing - he resorts to insults in a
further attempted distraction!! My, how the puny have fallen.
