I have to agree with everything wolf has said. Ive been in an instance of Unrest for almost 12 hours so far and have had ten T1 pops, and nothing after that...  Id love to atleast see CT once.

Alot of good ideas here!  I like the idea of the guild quest mob spawning during certain times to avoid peak hours.  Also the ideas of farming certain items not to mention an added cost are good additions.  I would also toss out the idea of the quest mob giving a server wide shout say a minute before it creates the guild to give people a heads up to avoid complications with items being lost.  The quest items could be very simple, first off make them lore/no drop.  Have them drop off say Tunat and Chaos and a third purchasable item worth 50-100 k off the vendor in PoD.  This wouldn't make it so difficult that people wouldn't want to do it but at the same time forces players to play through content up to the T1/3.0 stage of progression.  It also would be worthwhile to have the quest mob give a warning that should an inapropriate guild name be chosen all members of that guild could be banned.

I would assume that picture is WWII ish and cells didn`t exist...   A better guess would be First Aid Post given the big cross above.

Some things are more common than others. Fact is FAP so common enough that someone created a character on the EZ server with the name FAPFAP. Incidentally there is another character named FAPFAPFAP. As far as mobbin, it seems to be pretty uncommon to the point of obscure. You don't see the term all over the intenet as you do FAP. Doing a search of mobbin brings back results to do with a large crowd moving together. Hell my real name is Randy, which also means horny. The more common and socially accepted meaning though is the name. When someone says I am Randy, you don't think, well, he must be horny, you think oh, my name is Carl, nice to meet you. Same thing with the word Hunter. When someone says Hunter I think that must be there name or profession. Ok maybe their class on WoW. You can pull obscure meanings from all over the place. Obscure definitions have come up in this thread several times. It's all about common interpretation.


To a certain degree you are correct Xiggie, Fap in it`s slang form seems to be fairly common if you do a search for it.  The dictionary deffinition(s) for it I would say are semi obscure therefore it seems to constitutes a violation.  However I believe it isn`t so much it`s common interpretation but it`s intended use.  
Example: If I make a character named Randy here on EZ I highly doubt anyone would have an issue with it but if I then added the surname Foryourmother, I`m sure a few people would report it.  I guess the bottom line is it`s all dependant on how Hunter and the rest of the community percieves it which makes it a violation or not.

The horse has deffinetly been beaten, hell its been shot, stabbed, electocuted, hit by a bus, and chopped into dog food !  The point I was trying to make wasn`t so much with the fact that I felt Fap wasn`t against the naming policy but how it was sourced, ie: the Urban Dictionary.  Just for shits and giggles I looked up Hunter on the Urban Dictionary and found 55 independant deffinitions; many of which would violate the naming policy!  Just some food for thought   Wink

Many things aren't in Websters that we use every day and everyone knows the meaning of.  Even so, it doesn't matter if you think it is credible or not, because apparently Hunter did.

I can`t argue with Hunters rational for banning the toon as it was obvious after the fact that the name was chosen intentionally based upon it`s inherent slang connotation.  That being said if the name had been just Fapfap with a surname other than Fapfapfapfapfap, I would have seen no issue.

OK.... so Fap is noted on sites other than the Urban Dictionary you have made your point however unless it`s in print within a dictionary such as Websters I still don`t feel its credible. 
As for debating drugs on a forum I will agree Xiggie there is no resolution, but everyone has thier opinion and is welcome to share it  Smiley

Thought I`d throw in my 2 cents in here.  I saw Fapfap a while back and the only thing that came to mind was that it was a pretty silly name.  I had no idea that it was a slang for masturbation until I saw it refferenced in a link to the Urban Dictionary.  I`d really love to know what % of people actually knew that!  Since anyone can add ANY word they wish to the urban dictionary, I fail to understand how it can be considered credible.
Secondly as far as this debate with drug refferences and the naming policy I will say this;  I haven`t been a user of them for a great number of years however drug use and fantasy do have a very long history together.  Examples are numerous: Ă€lice in Wonderland for example had more drug refferences than Cheech and Chong`s up in smoke.  Tolken had many many drug refferences within The Lord of the Rings.  These are just to name a couple, the list would be almost endless.  So do I have a problem with it, absolutely not.  The people who are worried about kids seeing it should be just as worried about the endless violence, or alcohol usage within EQ, not to mention the adictive nature of EQ itself.

Well... Druids and Chanters are useless, yeah I'll fully agree.  But do I run a shammy in my box group and really like it.  Kraken is awesome added dps, the T4 pet isnt terrable id figure its on par with a mage 3.0, and a 25 k buff, how do you go wrong ?  Only thing I would like to see is a better heal and maybe a nice regen or a big dot.   Bards in the right setup aren't bad either throw em in with a couple wizzies and add some NS5's and they will deffinetly hold thier own.  The class I would like to see fixed a bit are clerics.  Thier T3 heal should be an instant cast for a starters.  I would also like to see a good proc modifier on the 3.5/4.0.  Might also be nice if they had a big heal over time spell that say did 25 k a tic.  That would put them ahead of pallies where they should be.

Recruitment has been going quite well and our numbers are very close to where I wish to keep them.  For this reason I have decided to modify the requirements for joining.  I would still like to add a few more wizzies and pallys, so the requirements will be qvic flagged for those 2 classes.  SK's, rogues, clerics, & monks will require full tacvi.  All other classes require full T1.  I do plan on upping the requirements further but have no set date for any such change.  If you have any questions about the guild, its policies, or any of these new requirements, feel free to contact me or another officer in game.  Thanks for your interest in DbD, cheers!
