Everyone interested in joining me in this effort need but ask.

Tell me when and where Trop and I'll be there. I have already
given up trying to hunt that area because of her and finally
realized reporting will do no good. She must be 'special'.

Rangers are useful yanno.

If I were you I would go into hiding. Perhaps the bottom of the Reaver mine, or under Poke-yer-dead beach. Ya know somewhere thats horribly freakish grin. If you like I can offer more suggestions on where to hide out, as I know you are terrified and cannot even think straight at this moment in time. Ya know me...always trying to help...whistle

I'd go in and buy things just out of spite.

And I'm the mean one? LOL

Apparently, she hunts in the ditch on M'Riss for flex westanuryns. The area is only about five rooms wide and has a limited spawn which Aurica takes up by dancing with them for extended periods of time, allowing none of the other hunters any chance to train.

>What would happen

According to common lore, she'd report you immediately.

Isn't that what the new creature wandering thing is supposed to fix? Shouldn't her creatures wander off?

Flex rate is usually set to the highest one there, so a bunch of newbs and a paladin would be slaughtered in your setup.

This opinion brought to you by soylent green. Results will very from person to person.

It is average.

Its been done.

And yes it was funny.

>>Im also curious if this "retreating monster" fix has changed the situation with Aurica at all. The change seemed to be specifically oriented towards cases such as this. <<

No. When someone comes into her hunting area she passive-agressively does everything she can to force them out short of attacking them directly. :(

Examples?

Here is a breif recap of the situation, dating back as long as I have been involved.

11 months ago I was hunting in the ditch. Aurica moved to the ditch from flex zombies. I flexed the spawn to below what she wanted, so she'd sit and dance all 6 that spawned between us to try to force me out. I brought in a lower level moonmage to increase the spawn, also lowering the level to approximately what it would be if i was alone. She eventually gave up and went away.

She came back to the ditch in april. By this point I was 145th or so, not seriously lowering the spawn from her at all. She stood around dancing 5 of the westies that spawned between us for hours on end. I got fed up and started killing her westies. She killed me, I killed her back. She decided to try a different method of forcing people out. She brought in a spawn booster of her own, and ran from room to room CLing everything in sight. Through judicious use of FOI it was mostly fine for me but my internet sucked so bad i'd frequently lag out with 5-9 westies in my room and die. For the other hunters there it became so swarmy that they couldn't hunt at all. It was around this time that I had to stop hunting entirely because of my attrocious internet.

In the past when people have brought in spawn booster characters to make things more difficult for her, she has killed them, or at least tried to. When someone killed her spawn boosting character she reported them. Of course after she reported for it she couldn't keep doing it to other people's spawn boosters so some people begin sending blended rangers in. And so the battle continues.

People in bannered rooms have no effect on the creatures that spawn in the area. Neither the number of creatures or their level if they flex. The creatures in flex areas flex to the average level of people in the area.

From what I understand of the issue, it's not the number of creatures in the area, it's that she keeps a low level alt in there to flex down the skill range. So the people that need the higher flex are out of luck

>Aurica knows about these places and when you try to hunt there instead of the ditch she puts low circle mules in this room preventing you from learning anything.

Heh, she really seems to hate you now.

Bring in a high level thief to ambush clout her. Since you guys are playing the consent rules down to the wire, this doesn't require consent of any kind, so it should be ok. While she's unconscious, the problem should take care of itself. I don't know what other halting/stunning abilities there are that do not require consent or leave you vulnerable to mech abuse, but I can see this being a fun temporary solution.

Ah. I was unsure of how this worked.

>>All of this is going on, and she is not locked out for mechanics abuse, game disruption, etcetera? Why not?

Mostly because she (aka the highest character in the area) is the only one that will hit the report button as soon as things don't go her way. The other people using that area are adult enough to handle problems on their own.

>If she is killed by the critters as a result of the ambush clout then it will be considered an unconsented kill.

True. In addition, if it happened more than once she would report you for harassment.

To play the policy game with a policy player you need to read up on all the rules. And expect to get reported/talked to even if you follow all the rules. It probably isn't worth it.
