Oke doke.
I guess its rude to leave your flag up and not want a pt.
(but this type of thing has never really bothered me..I just look for another person if someone declines me)
Happy?
But it doesnt seem like one would gain much satisfaction from sitting around with their flag up waiting for invites just so they they can go...
"NO! so ha! are you annoyed? I love that about me!"
As far as AD showing up to defend their member.. I think most LS's are protective of their members and would do similarly. Even moreso with HNMLS's, they seem to be quite fixated on reputation. So if you list one of their's in public forum you will get bee-hived. Sadly this is just how is is. Some LS's are more polite than others, and I dont hink anything that AD members posted here was out of line. So in short if you post in a thread that is about the critisism of others you should be prepared to face critisism yourself.
One thing I would like to point out-
Quote:
I fling a series of insults at him about him being an a$$hole and such (since that's exactly what he was being), and he never took his flag down for about another 30 mins. I know this because this is about when my party broke up due to lack of tanks lfg and I had given up on Kfcc.
Here you post that you flung a series of insults at one of your fellow players (then added him to the bad player list?). While he may have been rude, it appears from the way that your post reads that YOU took it to the next lvl. One cannot make some one desist from being an ******* by being an ******* to them. Its actions like this that make FFXI not fun.
Then later in your post-
Quote:
So I point out that I was already after the tiger before he came around. So he tells me to blow it out my a$$ again and that I was just trying to **** him off. So as I try to talk nicely with him, he just responds to everything I say with a "f%ck you". By this point, I start flinging the insults right back. He tells me that I'm not worth his time, but obviously I am since he was the first to both speak and insult.
You list another player for being rude to you, in almost the exact same fashion in which you admitted (in your post) to displaying towards the first player you listed.
I am not sticking up for anyone here, as I know none of these players in game. But your post is contradictory of itsef. No one likes to be talked to in a lewd way. What makes you think that you possess the wisdom to decide when it is necessary and when its wrong?
So in short you call one player and ******* then add him to the bad player list, then add another player to the list told you to **** off?(after you snatched a claim up from under him no less..)
I think you would have been better served to start a general thread about server opinion on LFG and flag ettiquette. It would have been much more productive than THIS thread. I feel that KFCC may have actually been rude to you, and well, that sucks, and you have the right to voice your opinion about that sucktitude publicly..
and anyone else has the right to disagree.(it is a public forum, and Alla has a decidedly aggressive audience when it comes to the topic of disagreeing with their peers)
Rudeness and name calling solve nothing, it only displays an apparent lack of communication skills, and more often than not it leaves the person who launched the verbal assault feeling more upset than the person on the receiving end.
So play nice! If other players are ****** towards take the high road..its really not that hard.
