When I say "you can't have it both ways" I mean you can't say "but I hadn't played in a long time!" as a defense and then say "but I played quite a bit" as a defense.

Ah yes, the card everyone plays when they are proven wrong, or defeated in some Mud-related fashion: "Some of us have lives."
As for your remark about being able to re-equip in 8 minutes, I can have a set of gear that doesn't suck (and I will at least not be naked) in about 3, depending on lag/my proximity to normal areas. Assuming no lag and starting at the Palace, I could quite quickly get a starting set with a belt, sword, 2 rings, 2 neckwear items, a poncho, a free teleport potion, a bit of extra gold, a mace (or dagger, if you can't use mace), and probably more that I'm not thinking of from 1 (ONE!) area. Not to mention you could have at least gone to get a practice weapon or two. Bah. I'm not going to waste any more time on you. You deserved the anathema. So does the idiot on the other board who thinks threatening an Imm over this sort of thing is within the realms of intelligence. If you have any pride, you'll drop this before the comparisons start flying between you and emotionally-immature-boy.
