So, apparently the scribe doesn't like me (Sunspear Rank 7)

My friend brought to my attention that the Scribe had made a topic about people hitting Rank 8, which confused the hell out of me because I was pretty damn sure that Rank 8 wasn't possible. So she gave me the link to the newest scribe (http://www.guildwars.com/community/t...ibe-060928.php) and I saw and called her a dumbass and informed her that it was Rank 7. But, then she asks me why I wasn't on there (since I had achieved it too) and I have no real answer for that, so... since I'm bored and slightly annoyed right now, here's a small photojournal of my Rank 7 during the preview weekend.

Just after I hit Rank 6. 1k'ish points and climbing. On my laptop right now.
My "1337" points. Literally. I didn't even mean to get that screenie, I was just looking at my points and went "HAH! Screenie time." Still on lappy.
Just hit level 20. Took me long enough, eh? Last screenie on the lappy.
Right before I got my Rank 7... just about to zone out to get it.
Right after I finished killing off the last Skale necessary to get 5k points. Extremely happy and dancing around.
Showing off my high level henchies, ecto, rank, and armor.
/Dancing in Sunspear Great Hall. Showing off my rank and level to newbs and just having fun. Other than the crappy dance, that is.
Last picture I took of the night. This is after I dyed my armor (again) to be pink and then I was chillin out in Kamadan for a while.

The information that The Scribe wrote about was provided via a scroll that we transcribed from the database. (Scribie doesn't work with databases, as you might imagine!) All figures should be accurate, but it's possible that someone was missed, I guess.

You can write to him directly: [email protected] and I'm sure he'll be happy to see if the information got lost in a fold of that scroll. He would most likely be able to make an amendment to the scroll archives, if the information is in keeping with the other recognitions.

I've just gotta ask after looking at your last picture of the night. Why the hell would you play for 50+ hours over the course of a little more than 2 days, did you not actually sleep? This is not intended as a flame, I'm just curious why you would punish your body like that. I'm also curious how you managed to get ecto????

Maybe he left the game on while he was afk?

Rare Material Trader. It's not like there was anything particularly spectacular to blow money on during the WPE- I ended up donating my weekend's savings to someone trying to dye their Sunspear armor black.

Even more curious is the fact that there are only 48 hours in 2 days. He managed to squeeze 10 hours and 6 minutes into them. Good job, you must be God!

Hehe, keep in mind the event lasted long into Moday and started Friday. More like 3 and a half days really.

Considering the preview started on Friday and didn't end til Monday there were more than 3 days worth of time to play .... Over 72 hours, but the fact that he played a majority of that is nigh insanity.

But grats to him on rank 7. I myself only bothered getting the 1k rank, having to sleep and go to work cut into my play time.

Edit:

Of course after I check to see if anyone else replied before I post it happens anyway, at the same time.

Actually, I went to sleep from Saturday to Sunday (didn't sleep Friday night, was too busy hitting level 20). I played the whole day Friday, since I took the day off of work to play, but I was mostly dicking around until later that night when I decided to hit level 20 and rank 7. Then, on sunday we went Dirt Bike riding for most of the day, so I really only played for like... those 50 hours, which was most of friday and saturday. Had to work monday, so that day was out. But yeah, my body still hasn't recovered from that weekend. I need to remember to not do something like that again for a while.

cant see the problem, do you really need your name on a webpage to make you happy, i handed out god knows how much gold and items as well as helping people get black dye but i didnt feel the need to make sure i was in a district that i knew i'd be noticed in.
the whole generosity of the event with no access to storage reminded me of how good the game was when i first started all that time ago.

Ecto?!!! Where the heck did you get ecto during the PvE event? I did not think it was possible. What creature dopped it?

Did you bother to read the whole thread? The answer to your question is located a few posts before yours...

According to guildwiki, rank 8 exists. It is called sunspear legend and requires 10K points. Also, maxed titles have a track completely filled in purple. R7 sunspear is not. Haven't you checked your title when you got it or did ANET add that after the event? But in this case how would the guys from guildwiki know about that?

In case you missed it, the guy has the marshall rank(same as everybody else listed in the scribe) which is apparently as high as you could get in the preview event. Maybe there was another source for Wiki's information, such as Anet articles in some magazine or something.

Once you reach Rank 7 it tells you what you need to do to achieve the next rank. That's how they know there is an 8th rank.

Congratulations on your title^^.

There's a thread somewhere in the Nightfall forums that is gathering a group together to rush through nightfall. The proposal was to finish it non-stop... depending how long that takes, I dont think they're gonna get much sleep.

Dont use the S-Word, it offends some people who never get it

No offense meant to people with Sleep Disorder.

Yes, I know it exists... I just meant it was physically impossible to obtain during the PvE preview, since once you got past 5k the people wouldn't give you the enchants anymore.

Okay, how about you go out... do something that can only possibly be obtained in about 3 1/2 days, and once you do it... its going to be deleted and the only way you will possibly have any proof that it was done, is to have your name up somewhere online. Then, have it published by the company with all the people that hit that thing, and have your name missing after you went crazy trying to get that all done in 3 days. Now tell me how you feel.

For those who like to get mentioned on the scribe, i suggest you do the following:

1) email spam the scribe and try to get his ingame name.

2) Pm/email spam him/her each time you donate items/gold or wish to brag.

Perhaps the scribe would start a "The Blacklist of Bastards" perhaps then players would play would be inclined to play nicer to each other? Not like its gonna happen though.

/rant off

since i missed the whole preview weekend, i was wondering if anet actually let u keep the titles after the the event was over, or if u had to start from scratch when nightfall came out

Characters were reset, so you start from the level 1 Sunspear rank.
