I was beat and got a phone call, so I narrated 1s 1e of Ragan and sat there stood there.

Shenkt came, picked me up, and Kyson up, and brought us back into the PK.

I fled several times in this log, but did not channel once because I was one-handed and trying to leave, but also not about to drop my phone.




1. I sent Shenkt a tell out of frustrating and then he yelled to you. I never claimed to you that I was afk, I said directly to Shenkt:


* N HP:Critical SP:Strong MV:Haggard >
You tell Shenkt 'i went s e of firetrucking ragan'

* N HP:Critical SP:Strong MV:Haggard >
You tell Shenkt 'cause i was firetrucking afk'

* HP:Critical SP:Strong MV:Haggard >
You tell Shenkt 'really firetrucking hard to manage a phone call and run'


These are private tells and not public claims. I can express frustration over an experience without expecting pity or recompense for it.

2. I do not believe I am well known for lying about claims to be afk and it was a private tell of expressed frustration and not a desperate plea for my gear back. I did go 1s 1e of Ragan because I was afk (or busy) and not able to play.

3. You're fun to PK against and I don't mind dying to you because you'll die back. But, dying in that situation was frustrating.

Sorry, I should have given you the benefit of the doubt here. It was a misunderstanding - Shenkt thought you were fully afk and asked for an eq return, I took it to mean that you said you were fully afk and was asking for an eq return. I checked the log and saw that you weren't fully afk and got pissed that you were "lying".

Anyway all good from my side, see you out there - I'm sure you'll get your eq back in a day or two!

No worries.

I know Shenkt felt bad, my tells were direct and he was leading. Just triggered emotions and text sucks because when it is written and copy/paste-able it looks more nefarious, so I wanted to address that.

I felt bad about the reaction mainly because it seemed like DS/LS had great PK for awhile, I came up when it was already outnumbered and then died, and allies felt guilty for my loss (which was my fault).

I think that whole session should have probably ended up on a better note (it was really fun, was a few close saves on Kyson) with how people felt about it and so apologies for getting in that way.

I can only promise that I will never get better at losing a good set.

Hard to tell for sure from log, but she is probably AFK.

From Jestin's log, she is very obviously at the keyboard, but that doesn't mean she had intended to be taken back into the fight. Mature responses from both sides.

Sometimes it is just a crappy situation.
