My First GM Call

During my "lovely" stay in Valkurm Dunes, I had the opportunity to make my first GM call.

Now, I wasn't making a call about a n00b player in the Dunes.

Seriously, if I had made a call for every one of those, I'd still be there.

No, no. I was making a call about two higher level players being total pricks.

Two idiot Black Mages were casting Bind on a leech near the entrance to Selbina. That meant that any player trying to get to the town would get their ass kicked.

Don't you just love people?

I mean, what in the hell would cause two relatively high level Black Mages to do this?

Other than being dropped as a child that is.

The Dunes are bad enough. You really don't need to make it worse.

That would be like sending a space heater to hell.

So, I pull up the GM Call menu.

Those bastards were going to pay.

GM Call Description: Two Black Mages in Valkurm Dunes are trying to MPK other players ne...

Dammit. Too long.

GM Call Description: Two Black Mages using leech to intentionally MPK players in Valkur...

DAMMIT!

GM Call Description: MPK attempt in Valkurm. Please Help.

Putting in "Please Help" will let them know that this is serious, right?

Right?

Anyway, GM Calls are only for emergency so I shouldn't have to wait too long.

GM Call Placed.
There are 174 calls ahead of yours.

Son of a bitch.

So, about three hours later, a GM finally gets around to responding.

[GM]Tarkon>> Good day, Adventurer.
[GM]Tarkon>> What seems to be the problem?
Dave>> Two Black Mages are trying to MPK people.
[GM]Tarkon>> Uh huh.
[GM]Tarkon>> When did this happen?
Dave>> I'd guess about three hours ago.
Dave>> When I placed the GM call.
[GM]Tarkon>> Okay.
[GM]Tarkon>> And what area was this?
Dave>> Valkurm Dunes.
Dave>> I said that in my call.
[GM]Tarkon>> Did you Blacklist them?
Dave>> What?
Dave>> Why would I Blacklist someone trying to MPK me?
[GM]Tarkon>> Uh huh.
[GM]Tarkon>> We'll look into it.
Dave>> What does that mean?
[GM]Tarkon>> We'll check the logs and investigate.
Dave>> You're not going to do anything are you?
[GM]Tarkon>> Is there anything else I can help you with?
Dave>> Yeah.
Dave>> Ban those guys.
[GM]Tarkon>> We can't do that.
Dave>> Yes, you can.
Dave>> It's your job.
[GM]Tarkon>> We need to do a report and investigation first.
Dave>> That's bullshit.
Dave>> Just open their account and hit the delete key.
Dave>> Pretend you sneezed or something.
[GM]Tarkon>> Thank you for your call.
Dave>> Thank you for doing as little as possible.
Dave>> If I was a GM, I'd do everything to help players.
Dave>> And I'd treat them with more respect.

Looking back on it, I just have to laugh.

I would have fed myself to a dragon by that point.

When I became a GM, I went and found [GM]Tarkon and we had a nice laugh about it.

Then I went and found the two Black Mages and burned their accounts to the ground.

Actually... I logged into their accounts, threw away all of their gear, and then banned them when they made a GM call.

Made me feel much better.

Heh, the irony is so sweet. It just goes to show you what idiots do to presumably good people in even small doses.

Great post as always.

"Two idiot Black Mages were casting Bind on a leech near the entrance to Selbina."

Er... my first time posting here, but I do not happen to recall that leeches in Valkrum aggroed. Maybe a goblin or Giant Bat would be better in place of leech. Otherwise, keep up the good work.


Long ago, when you cast Bind on a mob, that mob would attack anyone passing by, even if they were still clamed by another player, so its quite possible for the leeches to be smacking newbie players trying to zone into Selbina, this use to be a tactic of most GS .. if an nm they were camping got claimed by another player, they would grab another mob and Bind it close enough to the other person so that it attacked them. This was fixed in the MPK patch about a year back and now when you Bind an enemy, it will ignore all people running by it.

isnt' mpk'ing a banable offence?

:P

ok we know we can't train or bind kill anymore but I do still know a few ways it is posible to mpk..(that I have not used but have died having them used on me.)

1: in quifum you can agro bones with diaga and dia and other small spells with your high lv job and drag them by the tower where partys camp when a party cast a high enough spell it will draw agro from all your bones and it will wipe the player aka their tank. (was lving whm when I saw this first used..)

2: in any area with mobs that are spred out you can train a bunch to a area where there is a blm using a ga spell and kill the blm with agro as well as the whole party.(was lving blm .. enough said)

I didn't know there was a "call gm" comand tell I was lv 60 and have never used it.

The point being if I have a problem it is a game and I should be able to solve it on my own.

Green Vibe Keto Any changes that you do make include; swapping white bread for brown bread, full fat milk for half fat milk, cutting out snacks etc. You should also choose a weight loss program that encourages gradual weight loss rather than immediate weight loss. By doing this, the weight you lose is more likely to stay off and, by setting achievable monthly targets rather than unrealistic weekly targets, you are more likely to meet them.
