Shout Out to the Big Boys of Lugh

Early today there was a repeat of this...ONLY difference here is this one was a SUCCESS and this was ANNOUNNCED not like before where u got people sitting at the arena just getting whispers that he has been started.ok
first, bosses seem to be of two types:
1. ad hoc take down
2. need everyone - structured takedown
many bosses start as structured, then, as we become more powerful, they become ad hoc. Hrung is currently ad hoc - we see it up, we call people and we can generally get it going and killed quickly (sometimes we fail). Mordy, on the other hand, has generally required much better planning and coordination. while i certainly understand that 6pm doesnt work for everyone, and would love to have a better time, the fact is, if mordy is up, then by 6pm or so, we have the forces to kill it
i do not have a problem with the ad hoc kills. sure, i miss a bunch of hrung battles, but i hardly think everyone should wait just because i am not on or aware a battle must take place.
in general, on Lugh, the etiquette is notify your clan, and some other high ranking people from other major clans (not your whole friends list, you can assume if you notify an alliance member, they will notify their clan). if enough are on, great, if not, people will start kiking. once enough are gathered, we will generally wait a few minutes if we suspect someone else is on the way. but after that, the boss is fair game. of course, if anyone shows up (before lock), they are welcome to join.
expecting more than that seems to me to be unreasonable. if 20 people are on and can take a boss, they shouldnt have to wait until all 100 qualified players are around. i know that if i want more boss kills, i need to make some efforts to determine the rough spawn time, and make sure i am on more. When i decide to take a bike ride at 5pm est, i know full well i may not make a mordy spawn, and that is OK. During the winter i play an obscene amount and make lots of kills, during the summer, i make it to far fewer.
The only time you should really feel angered is if your own clannies don't notify you of a kill or you are specifically excluded from taking part. The beauty of our server is that we are inclusive and cooperative and allow all to join and have a chance - not that we go crazy making sure EVERYONE can be at every kill.
thanks
I don't get how grown men can throw words such as hypocrisy and greed that easy just because they were not part of the kill. As far as I can recall this was not the first time Mordy was attempted early. As per WeChat, some can make it and some could not. There was no fishing conspiracy to do the kill under your noses. At least you knew he was being attempted and you guys were not even online just waiting on Killain. There were ENOUGH people to do the kill and NO ONE should get special treatment and for others this was the PERFECT time. So, you could not make it this time...what is the big deal? It respawns and to Ak's point I see that Mordy is becoming easier now just like how Hrungnir is cause we are getting a bigger population of level required players.
Lately it has just been arguments over arguments. During dicing you see comments such us "no one was cheated here" and another replies "not today". I try to communicate to prevent ill feelings between players and try to get into a resolution if needed. However, it seems now that they tell you they are all good but really not. Like, seriously too many hangups. This was suppose to be fun. Grown men...smh
