RNG's in HNMLSFollow

#27 Jul 07 2005 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
Those first 4 Osodes were never based on points the leader even said so:
Quote:
I called them the 4 main rangers is because they are at just about every event and helped me build up the LS from the ground up. They got "favoritism" as a thank you for teaching all the newer members...


Furthermore Its nice that they have all those points todate but what were their points when the Osodes dropped? Some dropped in June some dropped in July so the has to be a variance of points between those months.
The fact still is it was never based on points for those 4 people. If the had zero points you would have still given them the Osodes this was clearly stated by you the first time we killed Kirin. Not only that but Im pretty sure you have it posted in your web jurnal as well. This was stated before the drops even happened. If its point based, then how did you know everyones future points?

Whitewinter you were in that LS for what 2 weeks now? You werent even there when we killed our first 4+ Kirins nor were you there for the first 2 Osode drops
You weren't there when the VERY FIRST Osode dropped or there when Hoppy made the Osode order so I dont think you can really comment...

The fact that they kept participating even though they didnt need to seems like it would make them even more likely candidates to receive an osode.. If one payed X% and the next paid Y% when he knew he could get it for no points at all then it seems like hes not there because hes greedy and trying to better himself but the ls as a whole.

Shiro: its real easy to look at the forums we have setup and see who got what where there points went everything. I can go look at them and see, its soo easy

OK this is the last post from me. I didn't expect it to go this far. More or less what my concern was favoritism and the points rule.
If the rules are items are given by seniority, fine.
If the rules are based on points, fine.
If the rules are based on jobs that can wear the item fine.
Or any combination of those, fine.

But the rules shouldn't have been changed after your first 4 chosen RNGs got the drops. It makes it unfair for all the other thinking that there is set rules for drops when there isn't.
Everyone knew that those 4 would get the Osodes first because that is what you said. Then based on your original LS rules GOD items go to people who 1:Have JOB priority 2:Can wear the item.
And recently you stated 3:GOD items you need a minimum of 20pts or for Kirin item 50pts. Since more then one person fit that description you picked 4 people to get the drops because they deserved them
Finally after 2 months all 4 people you picked received the Osodes.
You then decided to change the rules to most points and whoever can wear it gets the item.
But even with that rule you still don't keep that the case foreverything-
IE:BLM>RDM>WHM>SMN for Zmitts. RNG>ALL for SeiryuKote. MOST JOBs>RDM for CrimsomGear. WHM ONLY for Shinning Cloth.
Just keep the rules the same you can't keep changing them. There can't be exceptions to the rules.(these 4 are the backbone of the LSthey get the first Osodes) Pick What rules you want and stick with them. Make it an all point based LS or Make it JOB based. Just stick to what you chose.
I have no animosity to you or any one in that LS.
I think for the most part you have wonderful members.
I think if you can stick to a specific set of rules and everyone understands them then everything will be just fine.

Edit:
Since you left out the other top points I figured I would post them. These are the top points and who recieced it and who did not.
100pts-yes4th,osode
92.5pts-no
88pts-yes1st,osode
83.5pts-no
82pts-yes2nd,osode
81.5pts-no
80.5pts-yes3rd,osode
Now if this was based on points shouldn't the others been able to lot?

Well, I normally stay out of things like this. I am not involved and wasn't there to know how things really happened.

But it isn't uncommon for companies to give a bonus to employes for long and loyal service. It is up to the leadership to decide such things, and to provide good resons for it. Right or wrong? I don't care.

By the sound of it your LS was killing gods regularly so in time you would have had your chance. And in time YOU would have been one of those long time members yourself, if you had put the same ammount of work into it. ;)

/Phycho~




Edit: I guess that with all the shell hopping going on in this game I like to see loyality rewarded. If people could only be patient and work with what they have, instead of letting others do the work for them, my own LS (wich I have been in since my newbee days) would be able to do Kirin by now.

But then again, that's what the point system is there for, to reward layalty. So I am not siding with either part. Just stating some thougts.

Shiro, the rules never changed. Ony difference is he said it was the order according to points, it remained that way when osodes were given out. he can go ahead and say it and continue out

WW I know you are new to that LS so I guess you havent read the rules yet
This Is RULE 3 and RULE 4 posted ON THE LS WEBSITE

Quote:
3.All God Drops are open lot by job. For example if Sieryu Kote falls, RNG get to open lot on it, if Genbu's Kabuto drops NIN and WAR get open lot on it. If you would like to lot on a 75 God armor I ask that you be within 10k exp of 75. If someone else can equip the armor now and use it, they have rights to it. Abjurations are treated as god armor in this LS except the level to equip is 73.
4.If you don't want to cast lots and would rather clinch in your item, you can "call it" and bid points. Whoever bids the highest points will win the right to be the ONLY lot cast. Keep in mind that these points are deducted from your share of the LS bank, so being the sole lotter on an item will cut into your gilshare.

OMFG this is my one and only post about all this **** the reason why the 4 rng got the osode first is they are ls leadership and they where there from the beginning and they did lose points there are many jobs that can use but rng see to think they automaticly have pressedence over everyone but i say **** that everyone has chance to lot it they have the points now that the leaders have their osode and the reason they get first again is because THEY ARE LEADERSHIP IN THIS LS!!!

now as far as rng being the ones that most important and die the most im offended being the 75 pld that cant use osode and die because the rng shadowbind cant stick or doesent come fast enough for me to get away from seiryu 100 fist or suzaku chainspell and i die the most or other pld die the most so as far as being most important a rng is easily replaceable by a 75 blm. well thats all i have to say but dont get me wrrong i love rng i also am lvling my rng to help out our leader is doing a great job and only greedy ******* make a stink like this as far as shiro goes i dont know why he is making a stink it wasnt him that was next im line to get osode it was the selfish rng arguing about it saying that it wasnt fair that he should get chance to lot with a leader when it was know that the leader would get it first oh well bye bye

i agree there should be a priority system, jobs, seniority, points... all that should be taken into consideration.

what would trouble me.. and someone lightly touched on is the resetting of points. not sure if that is the actual rule.. but if whmA with 200pts gets Shining this week.. and whmB with 50pts gets Shining next week... both will be reset to ZERO. that wouldnt be fair for the whm that lost his hard earned 150pts for nothing.

reward the hardworking LS members who've accrued a lot of points. a person has 200pts total? Osode is worth 50? subtract 50 points only .. instead of resetting him to zero points. that would seem more fair.

I am also in this LS and feel that what's being said is highly inaccurate. The "4 main rangers" are all founding members that have been in the shell since day 1. They are in sky helping the shell do the boring pop item runs (ya know, the dull-as-dirt ones that you used to complain about having to show up to Shiro b/c it "takes so much time") night after night after night. They have put on hold their leveling, missions, quests, etc for the good of the linkshell so that we can do gods whenever we damn well please .. and they have the sky points to prove it. They are the "4 main rangers" because they are the reliable ones who show up to work every day - and yes folks I mean EVERY day, not just to come fight gods and ***** over drops. And they deserved their osodes before anyone else in the shell for those reasons ... and just like everyone else in the shell - some of whom have done FAR less work and been members for a much shorter period of time, they had their points reset once they got it.

Call them "favorites" if you will ... damn straight, they are *my* favorites as a member of this shell b/c those four people are four of our most reliable and hardworking members. Just look at the point list ... except for 3 other ppl (and I'm one of them so I can say this XD), they had more points than ANYONE else in the shell, RNG or no RNG. I know that when I show up in sky on any given night, they're gonna be there - and they're probably gonna show up early and stay late.

**sidenote ** I'm a RDM ... there's not much in sky that's designed for me. But I show up every day, I do my thing, I have a lot of fun and I make some money. Hopdevil is an excellent leader with a great head on his shoulders and I respect him. So do the vast majority of our members, which is why our shell is getting stronger.

um... i dont even know where to start.. so much drama here.. but ill tried my best..

First and foremost .. im one of those RNG that got the Osode, yes Hopdevil and myself started this LS together. NeverAfter is a drama free enviroment and we treat our members fairly... im very disappointed that Shirowolf would come out here and hang us out to dry, after LS has shown her nothing but love.

We have no favoritism in the LS. You earn what you get. I'm sorry Shirowolf.. why are you speaking for "YOUR RNG", is it because he dont have any balls to speak for himself? Let him replied to this thread... let him come and say that NA havent take care of him, let him come and say that we are unfair. He was in LS for less than 2 f***ing weeks and didnt do a godamn "POPS" with LS, he got a Crimson Hand at lvl 70, and than you f***ing ***** to me to let him lot on a f***ing Kote, when we had another RNG still needs it, I didnt want to hear your damn ******** so I told Peapod to pass so "YOUR RNG" can have it. Now u want to ***** about a Osode?, and how unfair we are?
What the f**** ever Shirowolf. You can take your worthless *** RNG somewhere else, and maybe next time he can learn how to speak for himself...

You come here, try swearing and down talking your member. Personally, he should leave you guys, he's a smn75, that's just as important. You ARE treating ppl unfair by having this little exception.

Actually it's my LS and the reason I called them the 4 main rangers is because they are at just about every event and helped me build up the LS from the ground up. They got "favoritism" as a thank you for teaching all the newer members...many of whom only exp'd in sky before joining the LS.

The RNG in question is Worthlessone. He attended a fair amount of events, but was with the LS for only 1 month or so and got the Crimson hands abj and Sieryu's Kote if I remember correctly. It's not like I shafted him, he just lost it when I told him future osodes will be based on points.

They earned their own points, you played favorites and made an unfair descission. No one should get to be played favorite. It should have been equal in the firt place.

Just because the RNGs are ls leaders, doesnt mean they should get items first, it should be fair. That's corupt leadership.

Edit: Well after reading what your ldr said, cant argue at all.

If thoses 4 RNGs where the backbone of getting the LS started, then maybe they should get thier HUGE OMFG item first, as long as they use points on it.

Now wait I'm confused though, all your points reset when you get an item? Example.

2 lvl75 BRDs want Genbu's Shield...pretty useless item, but I'm sure fun for some. One has lets say 200 points, the other has 50 points. The one with 200 points would lose all of them? That doesnt really make alot of sense.

Not any item, just certain items, like osode ^^

Granted, I skimmed over a lot of the drama here. In all honesty the job that can best put an osode to work is a ranger. That's my own opinion, so don't get angry. Next is actually Bard. After that Monks. Then Ninjas. Again, my personal opinion.

Using a point system is all well and good. But eventually you're going to run into that mage or some crap that wants to lot on something they can't even wear for a 'future' job endeavor. Point systems SUCK unless regulated with the 'need before greed' aspect of fair play.

Quit the LS and find one more reasonable FOR YOU. Point systems are only good to a certain degree. Maybe for money drops. Item drops are purely given to the people that can best put them to use for the LS and have shown that they care enough to show up. You don't like the way they do things go somewhere else.

I'm in this hnmls as well. I know the rules for the points and shiro you are miss understanding or missed some info cause I was one of the first RNGs to get one. The 2 of us that got them on the second Kirin run did have the most points out of all the rngs and everybody esle that could equip them that night and so was the case on the last run.

It just seems that you really didnt want to be in the hnmls to be honest. My resoning in thinking this is that you would of talked about it in a resonable way instead of throwing a 5 year olds temper tantrum. I'm sorry that you feel that your Boy Friend or Husband got the shaft when in all accuality you gave it to him by doing what you did. Its not like that was going to be our last Kirin/Gaurdian run. If you felt that the system wasnt fair then you should have discussed it out instead of arguing about it.

I dont know about that, I'd put Errant Houppelande over more or less the same thing. Trade enmity-4 on Errant for MP+30. At which point I'd say RNG=MNK in overall usefullness, with NIN in second. I'm a little suprised NINs in your LS choose to take money over an osode...since Osode carrys with it a high price tag if someone ever wanted to trade it. Ofcourse I agrue this being that MNK uses almost all the stats on the Osode. STR<duh> DEX<duh> VIT<Chakra and WS mod> MND <Chi Blast>

I am in that ls. The reason why those 4 RNGs get osode first is because they were the leading RNGs who help bulit the ls. I have been in the ls from the start, as an RDM I didn't get anything in sky so far, because we agree to let the jobs who NEED the items to have it first. Zenith items are nice, but BLM and WHM need them more. I want crimison items too, but I don't NEED it that much. RNGs need it. So big deal, they can have it first, and I don't mind waiting. Worthlessone got crimison items last time, and I was there, but since he is RNG, so he is getting it first. I don't even have any problem with it. Those 4 main RNGs in our ls have been in almost all the sky runs, helped farm and stuff. They deserve what they wanted. You and worthless one wasn't even there when they were already working hard in sky. I joined my ls for fun, I don't even care about drops at all. If some other ppl really want it, they can have it first, big deal. But Worthlessone is just one greedy SOB, you guys were still new to the ls, and Worthlessone already got a few crimison items, and now you guys are whining about osode. THIS NOT A LS YOU JUST COME IN AND GET WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT AWAY ! I don't think there are any ls like that. Our point system is very fair, the person who put more effort to the ls get stuff first. You don't come in and get stuff right away, if you want a ls like that, you can join the RMT ls, pay them and get your ****.

We have been doing very well in all our sky runs, and it's not like we are not going to kill kirin again. If you had the patient to wait like a week or 2, you can prolly get your chance to lot on osode. You guys are just showing your true greedy face, and made a bad name for yourself. The 4 main RNGs in our ls have been working hard long ago before you guys were even there, if you join the ls and get osode before them, HOW FAIR CAN THAT BE ? We have very clear rule in our ls, if you think we are some ppl you can use to get what you want, you shouldn't be in our ls at the first place.

Btw, for the ppl who are not in our ls, you guys don't even know the truth. I don't see why it is wrong we have our favorite RNGs. Think about it, if you work hard for a month, then this new guy came in and took what it was suppose to be yours. What would you think ? We are trying to avoid such things. HNM ls is never bad, the bad part is we have greedy ppl like them playing this game.

OK Lets get something streight here. First and formost I AM not a RNG I am a SMN so please stop saying I am the greedy one. I am speaking on my own accord. I started this post because I felt that what hop was doing was wrong and when I asked about it Hop told me to go F off and if "I didn't like it you can leave"(don't believe me I have a chat log picture) NOW WHERE DOES WORTH COME INTO PLAY??? He wasnt even there. Why would you guys condem worth or say RNGs are greedy when a SMN started this thread? This just shows how shallow you guys really are. The RNG you are talking about knew he was next to get the Osodes so why would he complain about it?
NOW THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE LS WAS THE RULES
Simply put the rules changed constantly. How can you govern 30+ people if they don't have stable rules that are to be followed?
I was there a COUPLE WEEKs after you started that LS. It was my concern that you were changing the rules to much and too drastically. Do I not have any right to ask why he changed the rules? Do I not have a right to express my concern thats others were picked to have the osodes first.
You guys all say that I should have tried to talk this out right? I asked. I did not yell I didn't not say this is wrong, I simply asked what the rules were, and have they changed.
Well when I did ask, I was told that if I don't like it go F off and leave!
THeres leadership at its finest -.-;
The only question I HAD/HAVE was why the rules changed and why has there been exceptions to the rules. Certain people get certain items, and you know what so far none of you have been able to ANSWER that question.
Heck there are even current members asking this question. You know what they havent gotten and answer yet either.
So to all you current people in the LS who think you know the LS rules tell me them because they have changed constantly and no one seems to understand that.

I don't think I said "F Off and leave", but I sure wish I did at this point. If you have a screenshot I'd like to have it to post on the LS Board. Let it die, you're gone from LS and I paid you and worthless your gil so we're straight.

{Take Care.}{Good Bye}

These aren't your rules anymore, so don't sweat it. Dismissed

if you have a functional points system that should not be able to happen.

the senior RNGs that deserve it simply would have more points than "this new guy".

if the system is functional, the leader(s) shouldn't have to makes these changes on the fly and should've just let the points do what they were designed to do.

"the numbers can speak for themselves" if they can't, fix the way the numbers are distributed.
