FYI as long as we don't get crazy:

23:37:17 To Grumpy : I thought Cowboy was joking at first but I think he seriously thinks we're a cult. Not trying to make your life hard
23:38:34 From Grumpy : it's possible no worries, I personally find some of the cone / cult-like antics kinda funny, as long as it doesn't go overboard
23:39:08 To Grumpy : yeah, we try to pull people back when they start getting a little crazy or poking the world chat a bit much
23:39:18 From Grumpy : much appreciated

You gave him back ten million copper? Whaaaaat? Did he die and drop really nice stuff or something, ahahaha.

I just think it's super hilarious how paranoid he is about us being alts of each other and trying to merge with his guild. He's super angry about that for some inexplicable reason, considering no one actually wants to do that.

He screwed up the 'buy' and 'buy amount' when setting up one of his shops and was buying Easter coins at 1 million each. I sold him 10, then bought then back when he messaged me. I asked the guild first and they said we were better off not pissing people off at that point.

You were entirely correct in returning the copper to him. Not on the grounds that you did anything wrong; You didn't. No, more on the grounds that it both makes us look good, AND gives us something to hold over his head later. While I fully understand, support, and respect pissing off pubbies, this stage in the game, when we're a fledgling guild that's getting its footing in the game and establishing ourselves, is not the stage to be causing people to hate us *on purpose*. What we're doing right now is testing the waters, seeing how far we can push things without getting in trouble, and establishing boundaries. The people that are already aligning against us simply for spreading the Word of the Cone are the ones we need to keep a watch on, as those people will provide the most fun later, when we really start to control things and have fun.

Yeah, I'd have given him his poo poo back too in that situation, that's fair enough and nowhere near as "you should have known better" as dying with nice stuff in inventory. But loving lol, I am totally in favor of giving him poo poo in chat for "turning on us after we did him a favor", now that he's actually done so, hahaha.

Brought this up in Guild Chat, but I think we should leverage a bunch of our capital into buying up all of the cheap pairs of Festive Boots on the market. It'd cost about 65k copper to buy up all 31 pairs, but it would ensure a long term supply of one of the most important pieces of newbie gear there is.

I'd be willing to put a decent chunk into it, if we get enough interest.

First thing new goons should do is go to settings > ignore list and add One of One. This goes for old goons also.

Background to this:



He's kind of an rear end in a top hat in a bad way. Condescending, only posts to rile up those around him that he doesn't like. Not good trolling material. He reminds me of one of those rich assholes in the old 1950s Bugs Bunny cartoons that turns his nose up and whatever he doesn't like and has The Help remove it from his site. He very obviously doesn't listen to us, so no point in trying with him.

We really have a lot of stuff.
Someone with a lot of knowledge about the game, market and item usage should go through that list and sell some stuff we don't really need that much. (Yes Xerol, you, who else?)


Edit: As we have this discussion again in the chat, IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NEW PLAYERS:
Don't scam other people.
Don't infiltrate other guilds.
If a discussion heats up, let the mods deal with it.
This is a nice game for nice people. If you are "in public", be nice. Especially to Cowboy. Give him a buff if you see him!

In general, be nice. There may be no rules about how nice you have to be, but if you aren't in the eyes of Grumpy or the mods you will get banned and the guild will get a bad worse rap. We don't have to do any scam-spy-stuff at all to "win" and get people mad at us.

The only real pvp is chat pvp, and the way to win chat pvp is to gently let the pubbies in world tear each other apart.

(Market pvp's not the worst, but pubbies in general have so much more stuff than us and so much more highlevel access than us that all we can do is flood markets. Which, admittedly, we have been doing.)

we're 1/4th the player base. They only thing pubbies have on us is time. They can only have so much stockpiled. With their levels they can gather faster and produce faster per person sure, but it's only a matter of time before we will out preform them.

We've been outperforming them every single day since we made top 100 and almost surely every day before that. You can go to the guild highscores page and see that we're gaining more EXP per day than any other guild on the chart.

I said out produce, as in final products not XP. We don't have people high enough level to make half the stuff yet.
