Sterling Archers offical apology thread

This is my point everyone has done this. TT,IDERP,CPU it's not uncommon for pkers to show up to events. From what I was told this event was special though and had some other things planned. If people had known Telamon's intentions that he wanted this one treated differently I do not think there would have been any problems but, there was no notice and people just thought it would be a normal server event.

There were not even 7-8 blues up when you guys stormed through. By the time your first attack was over, a few of us had gated out and the rest were dead. The event was essentially over before it got a chance to really get going.

Shortly after you were jailed, a small group of us came back and were continuing the event... and then the music stopped.

Telamon spent a lot of time preparing and planning the event... only to see it brought to a halt by players with only one intention --- killing the participants of the event.

Now I don't necessarily agree with Jailing the Reds OR ending the Event.

But I can see where an issue could arise if there aren't enough people at an event with enough resources to stop a 6 man PK squad. At some point, players won't bother showing up to events unless they are part of one or another group that can actually put up a fight. In which case no one is benefiting from the event because they are just pvping.

Might as well hold a CTF or go to Bucs. No reason to spend 5 hours coding and planning an event for it to end in 3 minutes.

So the last event where you and a few other members of iderp killed everyone and double boxed the entire thing. Was this alright? Well obviously it was because none of you were jailed

I have never been to a server event where there were 6 reds teaming up to kill all the blues. In my experience it is usually a red or 3 scattered about, vastly outnumbered by the swarms of blues. The reds generally aren't able to accomplish much of anything except dabble on the outskirts and maybe get a kill or 2 before being dropped and returning on their blues to participate. It sounds like you guys got greedy.

Edit: I haven't been to all the events so take this with that grain of salt.

I didn't kill a single person at that event that didn't attack me.
I had a double box until I realized Dragons werent effective against the Elementals and brought in a Lumberjacker.
I killed "a slime" once in self defense.

Two Reds were running around fighting:
- CPU
- TT
- Randoms

There was a LARGE force of other tamers, dexxers, and pvp'ers there to make it so that those two PK's weren't too much of an issue to the vast majority of players.

There was no 6-man gank squad at that event EXCEPT the 6 man gank squad that showed up to FIGHT the PK's.

The difference last night -

there was no one to fight the PK's. It was just a steam roll through 7-8 blues that hadn't even figured out what the event was yet.

The Moonglow invasion was very similar to the Britain invasion... Minoc was the exception.

This is usually how it goes.
Last night CPU was just ready to roll before everyone else was.
They stopped the event in it's tracks before the train left the station.

Let's see:

anniversary scavenger hunt last year-- Idoc team had 10 reds or so invade all the rune libraries and spots.

Halloween-- same group on teams of reds invaded cleared out for themselves and kept it that way

Cupid event this year-- same group. I could not even get close to the event without a zerg of reds. It was the idc groups private event.

These have been the three I've had a chance to play and they were pointless. Not saying it's wrong or right, but pick a side and don't be a snake and talk out of the side of your mouth.

I've only ever participated at a server hosted event as a PK once, and that's because I was asked to by the host of the event. Regardless of who's group is doing what it's the circumstances that dictate the outcome. If you're trying to turn this into a "Telamon favors your group" argument then you won't get far with me. I've been jailed just as much as others around here the difference is I can understand when I did wrong and I don't come bitching on the forums.

The one and only time I PK'd at an event I was yelled at by Telamon, as well as the other PK's I was with. Once it was explained that we were specifically asked to come "disrupt" on PKs by the host we were left alone. We did not, however, doom the event.

Perhaps the difference here is that they killed everyone to take over the event. If you kill everyone and continue to kill everyone then the event is over. If you kill everyone and then come back to farm the event then it's not wasted. I wasn't there for that one so I can't say for sure.

and just for the record when the idoc team ruined the anniversary event--there was at least 20-30 newer players in the library and as the event started they gated in 10-15 reds and scared everyone away from the event.

My account is 126 days old.

I don't even know who you are... so was not even talking to you

1. We've never, in the history of the idoc team, had "10 reds or so"
2. Not the only group to have done this during that event or any other event. I was cleared out of the Cupid event by TT many many many many times, not once did I bitch.
3. That's a lie.

So before you go running your mouth and calling people snakes, quote them so they know who the whining and crying is meant for!

1. I'm sure quite a few can testify to the reds at the anniversary event. It might of been others with y'all, but it was the core group.
2. good-- I didn't complain then either. Just pointing it out.
3. whats a lie?

Here is a great fucking idea: schedule the events. I have said this before in a CTF bitch thread where these events favor time zones. I have a life and need my rest but if I knew an event was going to happen perhaps I would show up; and perhaps a group willing to fight the pks would as well. Otherwise if you start an event there is no need to QQ and end it when the event gets dominated by one group. Risk vs reward, finish the fucking event because they deserve the reward. If the intent is to have an enjoyable event for all perhaps it should be hosted over in trammel.

Regardless I don't care who does what--it's all for fun. I'm just saying that a certain group complains and bitches all the time about everyone and they do it worse than anyone on the damn server. That is the snake I am bitching about above. At least Amfekk imo actually was man enough to show who he was...the rest.....

I agree with your angry statement, for the most part. What I don't see is how you can reward a group of PK's when the goal of the event is to kill the invading spawn. Like I said earlier, if they come back to farm the spawn appropriately then there should never have been an issue. If you take over an event on your pk's so that your blues can "own" the event, good for you, no problems that I can see.

People were only killed once and had we have been given the time we would have come on out tamers and done the same thing. The only difference was this event was shut down as soon as it started

Thank you for owning your actions.
