I don't post in the forums much, but as someone who was a Quid for years until this all went down, I figured I have a few things to say.

TL;DR of the events as I understand them:

1. Jimmy007 Decides to retire, and thinks burning the faction to the ground is the only way.

2. Misakishi, Lewwer, and Luna negotiated merging the faction to Avalon, behind all of our backs.

3. Misakishi convinced them to put up 250B to be paid to QHQ for sale of the faction, if the merger didnt work out.

4. Factions merged to some success, but left a lot of hurt, and mistrust.

That being said. Here we are in present day, and if my reading comprehension is still comprehending, the subtext to the merger was that if the merger did not work out, it would be considered a sale, and the 250B would be considered payment for the faction. 

Merger did not work out, and to be fair it does take both sides to make a merger work, so if one of them doesnt feel like it did, then it didn't. So now Misakishi is taking possession of the 250B, and all former QHQ, have been removed from leadershop and Avaon is free to do what they want, how they want, with the 10m Respect shell they paid for.

If all of that is correct, I think it comes down to what Misakishi does with the 250B. If he pays out the former Quid faction members and faithfully divides that money up so that they can be compensated for their time and efforts making that shell great enough to be sold for 250B then I feel like all this is a very dramatic, and sad, but faithfully executed business venture. If Misakishi keeps it all for themselves and moves on, then it starts to feel more like a scam.

I will say, that while I was very hurt, and frustrated over the situation, most (not all) of Avalon did seem to be trying their best, with an awkward situation. I gained a lot of respect for them during the situation, and hope the figure out a way to make all of this work. Anyone who has had further involvement beyond when I left, please feel free to correct any of this, and or reach out and provide more context.

There was a script for wall joining? That would have saved me all the terror of clicking ED, then switching tabs and joining a wall. 

That being said, this was such a perfect post and I just wanted to express how much I appreciate it. This was a kind and thoughtful assessment of things and showed a lot of grace. Thank you for being such a good sport, and for having such an amazing attitude and perspective.

That being said, I feel toward you, like you feel toward Vern. You are fast as hell and hit harder than the devil. Please leave me alone :D

Keeping Up Appearances Mission Bugged. · · 1 like

The Mission Keeping Up Appearances did not require me to actually send the money back to the target to complete the mission.


I sent them $10,000. Then mugged them for $1,112 and it showed the mission as complete.

This is a true one of a kind weapon. It's one of the few revitalizes with a damage perk, and the damage perk is enough to close out fights without having to worry about reloading. Unlike most SMGs this isn't that much of an ammo hog and lasts quite a few turns (8-9 on average with max edu and a extended magazine mod). MP5 Navy is actually the best base for this combo bonus set based on dmg, acc, and ammo management. Out of my 1700+ attacks during Halloweek, I think I failed to kill my opponent with it 3 times.

Asking for 3.5 Billion, but willing to negotiate.

245 recaptha verifications in 3 months · · 4 likes

I have talked to several player mods, and tried for months to be patient and understand what is going on with the recaptha verification. I have been told that essentially there is nothing I can do, and that if I am having to do the recaptcha, it must have been a false positive and that it should only last a couple of days. I have been told that there is nothing wrong with the verification system.

I do not use any scripts, unless you count Torn Tools. I have been told that Torn Tools is okay, and should not generally be a cause for making the recaptcha verification kick in. However I have had to pass a stupid verification 245 time in the last 3 months, and im pretty sick of it. If this is not a bug, then your protocols for what kicks off a verification is flawed, and basically I am sick of having to deal with something this annoying for this long, when I am doing nothing to warrant it.

I Outbid...Myself in an Auction? · · 3 likes

I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.

I was in Auction House bidding on an Item. I was outbod, so I jumped on, withdrew money, and attempted to make a new bid. It was insufficient, sO withdrew more money, and made another bid. It was successful, but then I recieved a notification that I had been outbid by: Me
[image: i.imgur.com][/img]

I dont think I really lost anything, I was originally concerned that maybe I ended up paying more than I needed to by outbidding myself, but It does not appear that way. I am mostly just concerned with the system/log thinking it was possible for me to outbid myself. If needed I can send a screen shot of my entire relevant activity log if somone wants to investigate.
