  • Player Warning: Geddoe

    As many of you may or may not know, I am one of the co-leaders of Transcended. Transcended has, and always will, be run on a "Need before Greed" basis. Items or Loot dropped from mobs are never sold, and always either 1)Given to a member; 2)Crafted into an item for a member. Along with this, we have instated the simple rule that, if you leave the Linkshell, the item is to be returned to the linkshell so that another member may have a chance at using the item. Loot is distributed based on a trust factor, and every time we do give away large-money items, I reitterate this fact. I have never traded a dropped item without every member agreeing to this rule.

    Albeit, it has come to a head where I must bring Linkshell Issues onto a public forum to warn others of the greed, dishonestly and dishonor that some people have shown me.

    Every member has the right to choose what Linkshell to stay in, and this is not what I am here to talk about. I am here to warn all of Odin Player "Geddoe". Geddoe was one of the higher PLDs in Transcended at the time when the Linkshell killed Behemoth. Two hides were dropped, and I worked hard in finding a crafter to synthesize two Behemoth Mantles for our Paladin's. Geddoe had not been present at the hunt (as can be seen here in a screenshot), yet because of his participation in past Linkshell Events, we had decided that he would be one of the lucky few to get a Behemoth Mantle. As always, when I traded him the item, I reinforced the fact that if he was ever to leave the LS, the mantle was to be returned. Geddoe agreed to these terms.

    Eventually though, Geddoe had decided to leave Transcended for Sirius; and of the short discussion I have had with him, it seems he is upset over coming to a hunt and not getting into an allied party because of it being full. I am generally quite busy when it comes to scheduled hunts and getting everyone into parties, and therefore I apologize for not realizing he was there without being invited. But, I find this a very weak reason for his decision to leave, and to take the mantle with him. I have tried to speak with him multiple times, much of which resorts in my tells being ignored, yet he is clearly at keyboard moving around in Jeuno or in an XP party. All I am asking, is that the Mantle be returned to the linkshell. Geddoe has in essence stolen a 1.5million gil item from a group of people that have worked to get this for him. He has lied to me, and to the linkshell. His refusal to return the mantle only leads me to believe he is greedy and self-centered individual, where in-game items mean more to him than values and the respect of players across the server. Geddoe has greatly disapointed me and my linkshell. We have lost all respect for him as a person. Maybe one day he can see his wrongdoing, and return the Behemoth Mantle to the linkshell. Until then, this post stands as is, and I hope everyone else will be aware of the deceit and lies he is capable of, and what utter lack of basic human morals he has.

    i'm sorry for you guys that you lost your mantle

    it doesn't take many people to ruin everyone's fun in an hnmls or any ls for that matter.

    i do hope you guys get it back from him some how

      Thanks for sympathesing with us, but I doubt we'll ever see the return of the mantle. It was a learning experience for us all and I suppose the system in place needs to be doubled checked now, even though it'd worked fine until this incident. I just hope no one else runs into the same troubles.

        Thats a really sucky situation and I'm sorry to hear about it. I hope there is some way that you can do something about it ... unfortuanly gms really can't do anything about this situation can they? even though it is trivial its something this player said they would do but went back on their word and only thought of themselves in the process ... lastly thanks for the heads up in case my LS ever encounters him i will remember this stuff ...

        Which FF Character Are You?


        /check Onikuma



        No /check for my other char yet :-(

          I've never been a fan of ls's that award you something and then take it back. It's like your boss at work awarding you a $500 bonus and then a month later when you quit, they want the money back. The only thing that is going to happen is that you're going to tell your boss to get bent! This is also what inevitably happens when ls members don't want to give stuff back.

          I prefer the "you earn it, it's yours" principle in ls's. Previous, current and future participation should always figure into that. About the only exception to this would be if you were recently awarded something and had to leave the ls. Then it's only fitting that you give it back since you won't be earning it by attending future events. But, few ls's follow such rules in the first place.

          It's unfortunate that he agreed to those terms and reneged on them. As you stated, you know there is little you can do about it but warn other ls's that may have the same policy in place. I imagine that the ls he joined either doesn't have a similar policy or doesn't care, maybe both.

          Did his behavior before this reflect that he may do this in the future? I find it hard to believe that there was not at least one other member in your ls that was aware that he may do this. We all tend to bond with someone in an ls that we may tell our dirty little plans/secrets to, even if we never do carry them out. LOL

            Being in an HNMLS myself, our Need Before Greed policy awards important items to members who have earned (emphasis) those items. We don't expect those items back if they leave, but our policy is to avoid recruiting people who would be tempted to leave in the first place, either from drama, friction, or otherwise, and by and large we're pretty successful at it.

            Frankly, if someone puts in a lot of time and energy towards camps and earns something - that item is theirs to do with as they please; if they sell it, they suffer the consequences of not receiving preferential treatment the next time rewards/drops are given out.

            Granted, you had a verbal agreement, but I'm curious as to why such a mediocre item has become such a topic of such dissent. Behemoth Mantle pales in comparison to Gigant Mantle or Shadow Mantle for Paladins anyway.

            I'm not condoning what he did, since it's still a broken promise, but in the grand scheme of things, the item just isn't all that and a bag of chips (nor particularly expensive for that matter).

            My recommendation would be to shrug, chalk it up to experience, and prove him wrong. Go out and get something cooler for your Paladins and show him what he missed out on by not staying. Much more effective than this he said/she said business.
