You know, every time you die, or get your butt kicked, the first person you should blame is yourself. Everytime you kick someone elses' butt, the first thing you should do is credit them with their own death. Seriously. Because then you can look at the mistakes either of you made, and *learn*.
Because if you were looking at yourself instead of them, here, you'd realize that you were in a heavily traffiked area and let an entire hour pass by without checking "where." There is no way a group of six should have surprised you like this in that area. When I first read your log, I thought:
"Damn, they moved fast. How did they make it through the void/down main street and dwarven forest that fast? Someone in that group was skilled."
And then I looked at your mana regen and saw you let over an hour pass between "wheres" in the Past of all places (one of the penultimate PK zones) and thought "Heh. How funny."
But you, your first instinct after this humbling and near fatal error is to post the log of it on the Log Board to show what terrible RPers your attackers were. Well, you're half right:
This loss never should have happened.
But where you're wrong is, it never should have happened because you never should have let that group take you down like that.
Anyway, that is the second thing CF needs: Humility. If someone died to a PK, then that someone made a fatal error. And everyone is suscept to them. Except Zorszaul. Heh.
