The date is Sunday(August 23rd). The place is Dynamis - Beaucedine; Attestations farm & clear. The time is copious amounts of bacon.
I don't normally bother with the Nasomi forums because they tend to always be
extremely toxic and drama-ridden, however I'm making an exception in this case so that there's some form of accountability and awareness of the issue. After a few days of letting the situation die down and think about it, I came to the conclusion that a forum post would be the best route.
Let me start by saying it's no secret that Str can be difficult to deal with and often acts off of emotions.
An incoming /t is received from Str about 20-30 minutes into the Dynamis - Beaucedine run. Str inquires in the /t if we're going to be in there long. From my understanding by the screenshot below, clearly we have 4 hours left.

He /t's another person in the zone and is told that we have 4 hours. He /t's another and is told.....4 hours.
It is at this moment that Str sits at his computer and has become the embodiment of the "triggered" meme, as he takes furious and enraged sips through the straw of his freshly opened Zima.
Str starts to insinuate that he is going to intentionally come into our run on top of us.

Enter Team No Nuts.
Robshig and Frankx(Cleavage) arrive on the scene.
At this point Robshig and Frankx have joined the sporadic 12 year old one-sided fray initiated by their fearless leader, Str. Sending /t's to people in the zone and saying they're coming in on top of us. It's also at this point that one of the officers of Misfortune contacts us and is told the exact time remaining. Clearly Misfortune as a whole is aware of the situation and at this point, Str and friends know around how many hours we still have inside; They (Str, Robshig, Frankx & their respective alts) proceed to enter the run anyway.
Now the question one might ask, is if Misfortune knew what they were about to do, why wouldn't they stop them? --- We'll get to that below.
Team No Nuts has entered the run at this point, so we flip to focus specifically on knocking out the attestations quickly, as now we have 6 (3 people, 1 alt a piece) unwelcomed guests within our run high off Zimas, spazzing out like spoiled children who didn't get chocolate chips on their ice cream cones & really just need a whoopin. They come across us at the Dagger/Horn attestation mob and immediately turned around, racing to get to our other attestations before we could. They do ultimately succeed in thieving our War/Shield/Sword attestation, so congratulations to them on that one.

Naturally at this point I'm fairly annoyed by the whole thing. I talk to Swynn for an hour or two on the situation, not really making much headway, and it's becoming pretty clear that while they (the officers of Misfortune, Swynn in specific) don't necessarily condone their members going in on top of people and doing shady shit, they sure as hell won't do anything to you if you do. Or at least, if you're Str & company, that is. So on the plus side Str & Rob, this lets you know how much power you have within Misfortune, & i'm not 100% sure what LS Frankx/Cleavage belongs to. Picking back up on the why wouldn't they stop them point mentioned earlier, this was made very clear within the conversation with Swynn in this screenshot.

I also want to note that there were some members (members, not officers) within MF that were genuinely upset by Str's actions and tried to do everything they could to point out that, that wasn't ok, and were for sure tired of the antics. As, this appears to be fairly normal behavior from Str.
As stated at the beginning. I chose to post this to promote awareness of the situation and provide an accountability upon Str, Robshig & Frankx, that is not being fully recognized by their respective LSs. In no world is it ok to come in on top of an LS, unwelcomed, & snatch attestation mobs.
Lessons to take away from this experience, keep a close eye on Str, Robshig & Frankx/Cleavage, please be conscious of your Zima intake, and No means No.
Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you and yours are well, and stay safe out there. One love.
