Ah, you believe this to be my first death. You compliment my skill but this is not so. This battle means alot, out of the COUNTLESS battles I have won and lost, it has to do with Honor, and Nibbechist is a Villager.
> To me, you don't have a leg to stand on, because if the imms who coded that aspect of the Ehren Guard thought that honor had anything to do with removing all affects from the "victim" then all of your maledictions would've been removed.
Leika is the one who insisted I was completely healed, and I have talked to her since the battle, she realizes she was wrong in her understanding of the Arena.
I think we have a mutual respect.
Just as we Villagers don't use magic to aid us in combat, those under Balgrimnr fight their OWN battles, not wishing the aid of maledictions (of another) to give them an edge, or maybe I'm wrong, but it seems this is so to Leika and I.
> If you wanna bitch about the power bitch to the imms, Leika used what was given to her and all you did was to bitch in a very unbarbarian-like way.
I like the Arena power. You see this as a very simple debate, pretty black and white, but it's just not that simple. Villagers fight, but do they fight using everything they can to win? Not even close ie gangbanging. Those with Honor are alike in this, and Leika is empowered by Balgrimnr, I think, and Leika does to, that she should be able to win without another's aid.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I certainly die, many times, and I don't post every log, this one just seemed to go deeper than a superficial melee.
