OK so you did even less macroing; 50 skill gain instead of 90.
MSN convo April 22, 2009: Wrote:smoke: whats your provo at btw lol
80: 93 maybe
smoke: wow wtf? lol
80: 92.9*
smoke: im at 92.2
80: well you go 24 hours a day, i do like 4-5 lol
smoke: yeah ive missed 3 events for thids dont really care tho
80: lol oh noes
smoke: whats 3 events
80: dude all ive done for like a month is macro these bs skills
smoke: took me 2 days for provocation lol its not hard man
80: i never said its hard, i've been saying its ridiculously long, especially when you can't macro 24/7. there's a difference. hunting 2 xtreme dragons at once is hard, leaving a macro going for 24 hours is easy after i write the 5 lines
smoke: well you work dont you? sleep + work = a god 16 hour. thats what school is at least
80: DUDE i cant leave it on all day and my ISP disconnects me in the middle of the night i've tried leaving it on all day sometimes and when i check the status page from work i'm not on there lol so my pc will have crashed or something ****ed up
Like I said in that MSN convo, I'm having issues with my ISP/PC/UO. All this adds up to me leaving my PC on, going to work/bed and when I check up on UO I see my PC tried booting into Windows 7 or I have the connection lost message in UO. I can't leave my PC on over night or while I'm at work so you guys should count yourselves lucky you only lost 2 hours and not 6-8 hours of macroing like I do when my PC screws up.
Why you won't get skills back no matter what:
1) SS CAN be faked very easily as lederoil proved (nice try too paulie lol). I'm not saying you did, but they can be.
2) When INX first went up staff explained SS doesn't count for proof that you had certain skills because of reason 1. I don't see why this would change now or any day.
This makes SS worthless and doesn't make you a genious for thinking to take it (sorry, your day will come )
3) Shard crashed, you got a WARNING ingame about it, and kept going. Whose fault is that?
4) The server has crashed before without a world save for a long time and other people didn't get anything returned.
5) How much effort did you really put into this? Open UO, log in, choose your char, start a macro in Razor and walk away from the PC. Come on now, it's not like you hunted or chopped logs for 2 hours straight which takes more effort if you don't have uber macros.
6) We are talking about 2 hours!! You can do that and more while you go to sleep so it's not a huge loss considering you can macro 24 hours straight no problems.
7) What are you guys saying 'now we can't play on the weekend'? You mean to tell me there's nothing at all you can do since you don't have provocation GMed? You mean to tell me you can't do what you've been doing all this time before you started training provocation?
8) In your alleged 5-6 days you gained as much in provocation as I've been able to in the last 3-4 weeks!!! You're loss isn't so bad.
9) My post smoke is referring to is here and was posted at 21:43. This doesn't mean the server crashed at 21:43, it could have crashed 3 minutes earlier or 3 hours earlier yet you kept going. Your first screen shot showing 95.1 is at 10:53! At least an hour after you got the server warning crash (based on my post, which again could have come 3 minutes or 3 hours after the actual crash). Of course if you're AFK you won't see it, but you sure didn't work hard in that time if you were AFK.
10) It was UNFAIR macro time where nobody else could macro even if they wanted to. It's not like Tiesto's example of a tunnel you went through when you shouldn't have because everyone else can do it if they want. But we couldn't macro even if we wanted to because the server messed up. Like I said before, it's as if I would have been allowed to train my skills during the staff only beta. Not fair for everyone else because they weren't allowed to be on.
11) When my internet screws up should I go ask my ISP for a discount on my bill because I couldn't connect for 2 hours? Wish me luck because that's not happening!
12) HOW ARE YOU TWO EVEN MACROING ON THE SAME LAMAS??? That's so f*cked up lol. You can't provoke a monster to fight a monster when it already is. That's like telling me to fight someone after I already threw the first punch lol
13) The only way you would know to take a screen shot of your skills to prove it is after you know the server crashed, so again your fault for having continued.
I hope you guys at least see how this wouldn't be fair to others now and you don't really have anything to argue to get your way.
On a happier topic; hockey was great and my knee felt great even though it bugged me all day! We lost 4-1 but it's just a practice and there was no ref so the other team kept counting their goals after going offside :/
BEDTIME! Lets see if I get disconnected when I check in 7-8 hours... Can I get skills back too if UO screws up on me?
