Hakutaku Judges Player characterFollow

Hakutaku NM is probably one of the most annoying NM's but you have to admit he does what he prolly was intended to do, and he does it well.

He's the NM that weeds out those who are greedy, selfish and untrustworthy. Those who want their run first and suck for the rest of the duration. those that want to go first with the intention of d/c'ing/leaving.

Everyone's been to one, everyone can agree the NM and the runs are tiring. We all understand that if we participate in a O hat run, it lasts for 4-6 hrs. I cannot sympathize for the few that do get their hats and simply leave. The clusters are worth alot of gil and the time invested in the run is worth just as much. For those that help on O hat runs, they understand the frustration of people leaving, people have probably left on their turns.

Avoid Emikai 75 drg at all costs, according to this 22 yr old man.. his mum doesnt let him play too long.

My rant, sorry I hate flakes. Enjoy, you traded your rep for a Hat.

You're trash as a player and hopefully no one else lets you leech. I will not apologize for flaming you, afterall I cant really flame ur mum.

want to know the secret to easy runs that have nobody getting screwed over?










do it with your linkshell.

Nor have I ... yet. >.>;

Cool defend your rep its worth that hat you got. End of story.

Not saying what you did was wrong or right, I'm saying you wasted everyone else's time. I'm sure as hell I would not have felt any sense of obligation to help you get your a hat if you had told from the moment you joined the alliance that you had no intentions of helping me get mines. I'm also sure everyone who went will tell you they wouldn't have bothered to help you get yours without conditions of them getting theirs. Everyone who went, went under the understanding that those were the conditions. For those who came to help, came because they were asked.

The only person to leave this run was you.. Also the only person who didnt bring help.. You put your rep on the line when you said you're not a puss, atm your a puss and your rep is trash.

However you can make it up to us easily.

If you would like to make it up to us and redeem your rep as a player. Find 10+ people to do another run. Sounds easy right? What are you waiting for? We're waiting... Nothing yet except excuses so far.

Can you find 10+ people to do that? Especially for strangers..

If you do manage to find help for us, you must understand that you and only you are obligated to help the new comers who need hats, those who you abandoned can abandon you just as abruptly with similar circumstances. Unfair? How so? You defended yourself that it was fair, excusable and ok to do.

Emikai..
Thats the situation most of us are in now. We have to join new groups and help more strangers under the same conditions of which you willingly agreed to and abandoned. Not true? How so, this is how you got your hat no?..

Thats exactly how it is. It might sound F'd up that you have to help 7 ppl get O hats, but thats what you agreed on. Why apologize if it doesn't do anything except excuse yourself. And btw you arent excused. You want to prove your not another rustymetal armyofone? Prove it, I'm going to ask you to help 3 of the 7 get their hats. You better be there next tuesday 5pm PST.

You can apologize sure, stuff like that can happen and things do happen.
People leave on these things its true, but people remember those who leave. Forwhatever reason you knew you couldnt do it, you did. For whatever reasons that made you leave you knew they were there before you came.

No question about it. You owe 7 people hats. Dont apologize it means nothing. Get them their hats.

And one wonders why the casual player gets so frustrated in this game sometimes. It sad where one can so easily come on here and defame you for having to deal with real life.

Mareg, did Emikai help anyone get their O-Hat or was his the first one and then he left?

In your defense Mareg, Emikai should have notified you at the start of his time limitation.

In defense of Emikai, if he helped others get their O-Hat before his own, then you Mareg, I am sorry to say, are being a bit of an ***. At least you had his help for some of the runs. It seems you are pissed because you did not get your OHat. For those others who didn't get their hats, I don't see them coming on here berating Emikai. I have been in your situation and you deal with it. People in this game have real life to worry about and real life is far greater than any game.

One last note. It sounds like the loss of one player caused the total demise of your party. Were you not able to continue on?

I've done the ohat alot. I've gone with people that made a party, got a few friends to help, demanded they go first since they made the party, then leave with all there friends after the first run.

I've gone with people that just afk without saying anything after they get their hat. When I got my hat there was 12 people that wanted it, and 16 people doing it. I got mine on the 3rd time, and we finished 7. On the 8th we wiped because by that time there was only 13 people left, and at least 3 that were afk. We didn't have enough people to stun.

I've also had a ls totally ***** me over on it, so can't say do it with a ls.

Hakutaku is indeed a time sink, but it's a needed evil for most of the endgame content.

Not only is it a test of Character, but it lets LS leaders (assuming this is not indeed a pick up run) see who works best in what situation, and with who. Even in FFXI, there's chemistry between players. some work better in parties with certaint people, from my experience, anyway.

Hell, I jumped ship before I had my Hat, but had a cluster made forever, i was a bard. and always let others go before me =]
