Ok - for the last 2 days on my mincer i am on a no add strike ... yesterday around 8 PM Tuesday i was at hibs agramon bridge mindin my own buisness wen i saw 2 prydwen toons attack Blizzard ( rr 7 vamp ) so i thought they wud get this vamp quite easy, obiously not i stand there and watch the fight as both albs die to 1 vamp, so i do a /beckon and /clap ( beckon for a duel wen he gets full HP and /claps for taken out 2 kitted out infils at same time )

/send mistressminstrel-e So now we know who the X-realmer is

Yes thats rite i get QQ for not adding on a out numbered fight so wen i actually get my 1v1 with this vamp a fgm come and watch us

/send mistressminstrel-e TRI-X-Realmer
I lost the fight ( vamp was on 1 % hp and unfortunatly miss'd my FZ :( )

Let me get this straight, you passed 2 prydwen albs fighting a rr7 vamp, you decided not to add and they died, you beckoned and clapped at him, and they pm'd you saying you were a cross-realmer?

If I got this right, ignore them.

They're just whining cause they lost a fight.

Keep playing fair, I've had lots of whines when I've gone solo too, like "HELP ME!" when I just stand there watching and won't interfere, and then I get lots of whines afterwards :p

Don’t try to please ppl you don’t know. If you don’t know them then do whatever you feel like. Add whenever you feel like adding.
When I bump into a 1 vs 1 on my WL I usually stop and watch the fight. If the alb/hib is winning I’m helping the mid (a chamber and a few nukes if needed).
The mid might be thankful that I helped him or he might be pissed that I "leeched" ruined their 1 vs 1. And tbh I don’t give a F... :)

hehe yer - blizzard is a hard ass vamp i was actually suprised i got him to 1 % hp b4 i died but was a respectful fight - and yer - i respect 1v1 fights and i like watchin a fight even if the alb dies, but personally i think people that feel the need to 'zerg' have a stressfull life and just want to kill everything insight to let out there anger... im quite a chilled guy and i found that the people who solo have the nice attitude - well accept for beeks he zergs !!!111!11! but also he has a sense of humor lol :D:fluffle:

Same thing happened to me so it begs the question why not add?

If you do people moan at you, if you dont people moan at you.

your never going to please everyone so dont try :)

just try to be consistent in what you do so others know what to expect

if in doubt, ask them before you add, personally its better to let someone lose an unintentional 1v1 that to interfere in a duel, we all die some times and its as good a time as any to learn ;)

If someone is that shit that they need to get help from other people when they are soloing or duoing, then they need to rethink their chars.. end of the day /ignore is your friend :)

because some prefer nice 1v1's over blatant rp whoring? if people don't add because they don't want to get whined at they need to start using /ignore more and add all they like

If someone asks for help then you gotta be a tosser to just stand there. Then again you're in AoD, so it's obviously in your nature...

Having said that, I think you're right about this one - the 2 albs didn't ask for help and died so got no right to complain. Personally, if I come across an alb fighting I'll ask them if they want help. If they say yes I'll join in, if they say no or nothing I leave them be.

Had a similar but much more polite discussion with a merc yesterday over the same issue after he called a scout an xrealmer for asking his group not to add on and steamroll a couple of soloers at occ bridge at 1:30 in the morning.

Anyway it came down to the fact that the merc considered every enemy, even rr3 solo heros to be a significant threat to his group and fellow albs, and could not risk sparing them; whilst I would rather a couple of soloers who are blatantly only there for 1v1s live so that I could potentially get an enjoayble 1v1 fight later, and also keep their respect so they would most likely not add on me in the future, thus giving me a far larger overall gain than the few RPs I'd get from adding.

But I guess for certain guilds that regularly run FGs yet never even attempt 8v8, adds will never me much of an issue as they will never have the experience of having a challenging and fair fight ruined.

You're the best mate.

Reason I won't help people like that when I'm running solo is because I can expect getting added on later on by the same guy.

I'm not a tosser, it's not my problem they can't take down an enemy :p

Oh, and don't get me wrong! I meant I won't help him if it's a 1 vs 1, but if the guy is being outnumbered then I probably would help him.

Just do whatever the fuck you want, it's your game, it's your cash... some people need to remember that.

I don't think its the fact you add that pisses people off the most, its the fact you deny it, and whine at others for adding.

So a cleric getting stuffed by a vampire (yes it happens from time to time at the docks) who asks for your help wouldn't get it because it's 1 v 1. It's one thing letting a 1 v 1 go, it's another when someone actively asks for help with you stood there and you don't. Point is just because it'sa 1v1 doesnt make it a fair fight, or stop someone needing help.

Incidentally, how did you first get to level 50, complete your mls, epics, even some of your artifacts perhaps? I expect it was with the help of other people in the realm. It's all very well taking the stand you do, but would have been interesting if everyone else in the realm took the same attitude to you when you needed their help in other circumstances. But then again, it ain't k00l to help realm mates (that would be r0leplaying right?) so no worries.

And yes, you pay you're subs so I sure wouldnt tell ya how to play, but I can tell you what I think of it ;)

well thats you again, not him.. afaik your the retard in general from others pov (other realms then albion), while he from AoD is concidered as a nice guy..

Now think of this, as a soloer.. do you wanna be seen as a nice guy in some enemys PoV (which can decide to add or not) or do you wanna be seen as a total wanker to the most useless and helpless people in your own realm? (who dont affect anyting in your game) I know what you chose as your a f**ing roleplaying :m00: :m00:

What you do in DAoC is up to you - you play to enjoy yourself, and not to be at the expense of other peoples whining. (of what in this case is two qqing infiltrators.)

There is no right, or wrong. Either way you would of most likley got bollocked at. Best thing you can do? Dont say a word back. Let them moan, at the end of the day, who died? whos fault is it for losing? not yours, thats for sure.

Do what you damn well please son. ;)

So...I'm a retard and total wanker because if someone (who I may have levelled/ml'd/arti'd with) asks for help I don't stand there and ignore them. All because some hormonally challenged kidz on IRC don't think it's k00l. Ok.

Tell you what, when your teen angst passes, your balls have settled into the adult position and you get a few moments free from sucking your own dick, come back and we can have the conversation again.
