Found this cupid's arrow from 2012 wit the above text recently. Do you want it Malloc?

selling Hoff's old house just south of the hedge maze and east of the Gilfane area outside Skara Brae. Asking 1m.

looking for a legendary shield (human or gargoyle) with these mods as minimum requirements:

reactive paralyze
faster casting 1
5% hit chance increase
10% or more defense chance
10% swing speed increase

show me what you got! I'm paying very well for the right shield.

Sorry everyone if this bothers you. Tjalle asked Mr Purple to post incriminating evidence against us here because he was worried it would get censonred on Stratics. I would like to encourage Mr Purple to post whatever he thinks he has on us here. Let's see what you have Mr Purple - besides wild accusations.

I hope the GIL forums can serve as a somewhat neutral ground for this. One thing I think we can be sure of is that GIL is not necessarily biased towards me.

If this is in violation of any rules of conduct I apologize and will remove this thread. I thought Tjalle had a great idea and assumed if he proposed it it'll be alright. Please let me know if it isn't.

Ok Mr Purple, let's see whatever you have. Thank you!

Hello everyone

I created a public server for Siege Perilous on Discord. Use this link to join:

https://discord.gg/6A8zmeh

There are different sections for General chat, PvM, PvP, Trades and a channel for guilds to advertise and recruit.
The server will be barely moderated but I would still like to ask people to keep it somewhat civil - I guess we'll see how well that works.

Feel free to invite your friends and guildmates.

(For those who are afraid that we will be using this to see who's online: you can activate invisibility mode)

looking to buy a fey slayer Hailstorm.

This is a warfork that drops as an artifact from Covetous lvl 3 monsters or Cora the Sorceress. Looking for the human version, not the gargoyle one...

If you have human Hailstorms with other slayers post them and I might buy them as well.

[proven]

after Leawyn's accusations in general chat last night I would like to clarify a couple of things:

If you believe you have caught someone afk scripting then you better have some solid proof before you publicly accuse them in general chat. I am not saying that there is no scripting on Siege, I am not naive (although it is not done to the extent we're seeing it on prodo). Nevertheless, we should apply the simple principle of innocent until proven guilty because otherwise this will only result in wild accusations being thrown around which on a shard with only one character per account can quickly ruin people's reputation. It also sheds a rather poor light on the accuser once enough people have been falsely accused.

I do believe that guilds and alliances should be held accountable for the actions of their members - this also goes for the example above. However, I also strongly believe that contacting the leaders privately (icq, personal message on the boards etc.) should be the way to deal with issues like that. If you have proof that one of our members is doing something illegal, then please feel free to contact us and we can look into the issue and deal with it. However, throwing around accusations in general chat without proof will not have the desired effect - quite the opposite.
Of course I am going to put alliance members before anyone outside the alliance - this is a simple matter of trust. I trust the people I at least know superficially more than those who I don't know. And unless I am presented with hard evidence I will always take the side of those people I know when I have their word against someone else's word without any further proof.

In your case Leawyn I sometimes find it hard to trust your judgement. On the one hand you have been presenting rather hard evidence for your claims of people cheating in UO by posting videos or screenshots that show whatever your think is wrong or illegal (problematic term, especially with the ambiguous stance of the devs on many of the respective topics). On the other hand you seem to have a liking for trolling PvP threads or people you suspect are cheating but seem to have no hard evidence. On several occasions you have made general accusations against "all" or "most" PvPers and their alleged use of unofficial third party programs, cheats, scripts etc. etc. for example in PvP threads on stratics. In your eyes everyone using the classic client in PvP seems to be a cheater. In my opinion you have cried "wolf" a couple of times too many.
So please realize that just because you think you know someone is cheating it doesn't proove anything to those actually playing with that person. You might be right, but you also might be wrong. Again the only way to reasonably deal with things like this is to say innocent until proven guilty because otherwise we end up with groundless accusations being thrown around like confetti - and that won't be helping anybody.

This also applies to you as a player. We have given you the benefit of the doubt every time you magically were able to place whatever house in a great location you wanted (Bo's current Luna house, the keep turned castle outside Cove only to name two examples). Instead of crying cheater, scripter or whatever, we simply trust that you are either extremely lucky or know some kind of hidden game mechanics that we simply don't know and that you have more experience with house placing, all of which is the basis of your success.

And it also applies to your guild/alliance: It would be easy to say "GIL is at every idoc in the game, they must be running some illegal scripts to check houses all over the shard" - an accusation Sargatanza threw around which resulted in him leaviing GIL in the end. It would be easy to do but we don't do it because we simply trust that GIL is just smart enough to have every member check certain areas once or twice a week to be aware of falling houses the minute they get condemned and to time the drop windows.

So please give us and our members the same benefit of the doubt. Feel free to kill afk scripters, feel free to collect evidence and present it to the respective guild leaders or whoever might be in charge. But please don't drag people's names through the mud without any solid proof!

One other thing that might help here is the way in which you speak to people. If I were to come to GIL members and say something like: "GIL member X is a cheater and needs to be kicked of your guild or else all of you are cheaters" just how much would you be willing to listen to me and cooperate? I am pretty sure that your reaction would be the same as Bo's or mine last night. You would probably say something along the lines: "Who are you to tell me what to do?". I am pretty sure that English is not your 1st language (it isn't mine either) but still please consider your words carefully or else you will only end up pissing people off.

Hello all

I wish to apologize for any inconvenience caused by us looting you guys during the idocs. It seemed like a good idea to prevent people from ressing and jumping right back into the fight. While it did keep people from doing that it also created enormous confusion after battle was done with exchanging all the loot and I think there are still bits and pieces missing on both sides. This is my fault because I was the one who ordered the looting on our side. I guess looting has to be all or nothing after all to keep it simple and manageable.

Anybody who is still missing parts of their suits please post in here or send me a message on stratics. I will try to track missing pieces down and return them and if that is not possible I will replace them from my own stash or find other ways to make up for the losses.

Again, sorry this turned into such a mess - wasn't exactly what I had in mind...
