I'm sure the Galka screenshot is photoshopped.
He'd obviously lose his job on the spot if he said that.
And besides, half of it *is* photoshopped, so that hints at the bottom part being the way too.

I have to say this does not look photoshoped, I have looked at it for a while and can find nothing, anyone else want to look at this :p

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

And since I wasn't using a 3rd party program, I have no clue how to make screen shots with POL..

Ok I guess I need to point out that in his original post on Alla he stated that he does usually use a windower but that day was not. So we can safely assume that he was playing on PC and therefore could take screenshots of the conversation. I know I can when I play on my pc and I don't use a windower. Sooooo lvl 75 and doesn't know how to take ss's?

And if your wondering why his original post doesn't state this its because he edited it. If you scroll down you'll see someone quoted his post and if you look at the days and times you'll see that he quickly edited his original post after the person did so.

Now if that doesn't get you to wondering........

I believe this for the simple reason that there's nothing to gain from fabricating such an elaborate lie.

Not saying the OP is one, but attention whores are a dime a dozen on the internet.

I'd be skeptical as well if not for one thing. There's been NUMEROUS posts on KI and alla about this very same asshole GM. Now, I guess the OP could be jumping on the bandwagon of the people who've been legitimately screwed by this guy, but unfortunately for SE, Thundar's had the finger pointed at him too many times for us to easily write off this accusation as being too ludacris to be true.

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

Hmm pretty interesting indeed. I dont know if thats how it comes out in the logs but it didn't seem that the OP was speaking that all clear either or more so than the GM. He praticly increminated himself more than twice, at least by what i saw but if neither of them were speaking all that clear then neither of them wouldn't have noticed it. Like i said before though, i could be wrong since ive never looked at the logs before and i know when a system writes a file, its not the most grammaticly correct piece of literature and can even be more jumbled by looking at it in a text editor not designed to open the file in its natural state (if its not a .txt, .cfg, etc.)

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

Update,

I contacted the Support Line and they were "expected" my call.

i guess the GM Manager is going to contact me via Phone today about this issue.

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

when hearing your story you know what I think... maybe the GM was a roomate of those cheaters or running the bots himself -.0

Very possable. Several SoE GM's are making some extra cash on the side under SE's nose.

1UP: So it's mostly Square's show, then...[nervous laughter all around]...It's not to knock Sony's involvement -- we just found it interesting that either you have Square Enix running things, or even odder is you have two halves of Sony administering two different online games, since Sony Online has Everquest Online Adventures. Is it unusual at all for you to be working with a company that's sort of a competitor?

Yasu Kurosawa: Actually, Sony Online Entertainment is a good partner of ours. They handle the U.S. side as far as game masters and the call center, so we work together. They're highly professional on that end.

My foot they are.

Edit: Nevermind I saw the original. Why would somebody crop it like that? >_>

No, this is what it sounds like to me. Sounds like someone has a vendetta against this GM and is fabricating a serious issue in order to actually get this guy fired. Maybe all of these other issues people had problems with weren't even close to where this thread is going. Also, I reviewed the past SS's of this GM and other players and this particular conversation piece was not consistent with those previous actions. For example, the use of ebonics (???) was not even found in previous dealings by other people. Which leads me to believe that there is something fishy about this whole affair.

And no SSs to boot. That makes it even worse. You can still hit use POL's own SS to take picture of mordion gaol to even make this halfway believable.

I'm sorry, but it's the whole "innocent until proven guilty" deal I have. I've seen way too many slandering and false accusations on many forums. There was this shining example of one in the Midgardsormr Forum on KI where someone said they were banned for no reason. However, eventually, we find out that this player may have been using a speed hack and was trying to cover him/herself up by throwing the community's anger at the GM and rather than have the community focus on the actual matter. It's a good thing that many of the players knew this GM in question and felt that the matter was worth "investigating."

Maybe it's time to call in alibis and people who can vouch for the OP... I've yet to see anything about having this said in LS chat or the like. =/

On the other hand, can PoL capture screenshot with chat window on it? Cause I don't think it will help him much if it can't.

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

it can on pc version i think.

[Taskmage]

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

If you use POL to take the screenshot, it hides the chat window and menus just like on the PS2. I think you can still use Alt-Printscreen or something to copy an image of the screen to the clipboard, but you can only keep one screenshot on the clipboard at a time and would have to exit FFXI to dump it to a file.

[TheGrandMom]

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

No idea because I don't use it. Someone will have to check into that.

Regardless of whether it takes chat or not, I don't know anyone that wouldn't take a pic of themself in GM jail. Yet even that wasn't taken and posted as proof.

Re: GM Got Nasty ; ;

i could see a gm becoming power hungry, but still they will follow the guidelines of their job, right? or just go total bad cop?
