Enough With The Elitism

Seems enough with the anti elite is dead

It was an obvious trap from a troll, im surprised people fell for it.

Nom nom nom

Because we are bored with ffxi, need to post something.

Nothing left to post? ***post.

nothing left to post? summonerpost.

Post your smn sets so everyone can go @awww and ooooo”

I'm surprised this one didnt go at the same time, it probably doesnt have much longer to live.

Agreed. Put on the life support! I shall keep this thread alive!

I legit need to. The smn thread is like 3 years outdated.

Do eet

I've never understood people who talk ***when they can't possibly be certain they're right. This is pure bravado as we've never played together. Hell, I didn't even know you existed until your raffle post. And this is also elitism that I consider toxic to a community. I suppose it's fitting that this topic was made about you.

I was attempting to figure out a good way to test out your theory. I think a single fight, especially with hate resets and amnesia in current VD ambuscade, wouldn't work. So I was thinking maybe a full run of AA's/Gods in Ru'aun. Come any melee DD, no SP's, equal buffs for us both. What say you?

Don’t turn this into FF11 UFC

Yes to FFXI UFC. Don't forget to stream it so we can cheer for our favorite side. More fun to watch than private server streams.

Same old same old from the mods here. Delete one topic leave something of the same. Hypocrites. Probably only have a Yagrush.

I’d like to get in on that actually. Not getting involved with w/e you two have going on, I’ve just been wanting a chance to test my THF BLU and WAR

Except your "call out" topic involved specific names. This call out topic is only associated with you because you made it obvious.

And I'll re-install OBS for this and stream it if Darian agrees.

I'm not elitist, but I would support the social hierarchy if I was on top.

The only real macho comparison of Pixellectual wits and feats is a Ballista match. But it must follow a certain, strict set of rules. And since I am the oldest-playing veteran NA with active Ballista Royale experience and a track record of wasting hours in that failure of an excuse for PVP, I hereby announce myself as Herald for such an event.

Fight rules are as follows.

Location: Purgo Isle - Abdhaljs (Brenner warp zone)

Both must come:
MNK job
No support job (will be removed at battlefield anyways)
No job abilities, except three (see below)
No running, no kiting
Items restricted
Level 99 cap
Naked wearing Sacrarium undies, open chested torso (you can choose this one)
No prebuffing food allowed (we will require an antacid used before the match starts; herald will provide)
Only additional involuntary actions/prebuffing that are allowed: Guarding, Countering, or changing your merits before the fight.

Since this game relies on random numbers, the only fitting way to prove who is the best is through random natural selection. Gear, Money, and influence has no authority in this match. It is, therefore, only appropriate that we use the randomness of Counter, Guard, Evasion, and h2h damage to determine the best of the best.

Fight goes as follows:
Both characters use the "Boost" Job ability. Activate Counterstance. After 10 seconds, run in and fight. You cannot move. You are allowed to use Chakra, once. Choose wisely. Whoever wins in an old-fashioned slug match is the King Great White Hope. This will prove who decided that Guard skill wasn't important, and is truly as a whole, a complete embarrasment to all of FFXI, as is the MNK job itself.

This will be live streamed so our entire community can see who really is the strongest combatant, in a "King of Wakanda" styled setting. Would be truly epic, and you can't buy your way out of this one.

Deal?

Fight addendum:

Combatants may choose to use one weaponskill, if they get TP. This will be the only active change to the official rules.

But how will you factor in merit points + race factors that might influence the results?

Silence, mere lout! Race has no jurisdiction here. There is no innate advantage, just an excuse for those who are feeble minded and need a crutch in fear of failure. A fight to the death on the Monk Job, naked, subless, and powerless is punishment enough.

Players may allocate their merits beforehand to account for any advantages they may need. Other than that, the fists will determine the victor.

In this arena, you cannot bark, and then claim foul or unfair play. if you're good enough to call someone out fully geared where cash and character progress may give one or the other the advantage, this setting would hardly be any more unfair.

Last I checked the updates changed race stats to be the same.

I'm an elitist, so I pretty much disagree with everything you said and don't condone this thread at all, but your friend just needs to grow some thicker skin and learn to roll his or her eyes at an obvious loser. If someone's trying to attack someone else for the number of shinnies they have, the only real response is pity, not rantings.
