Um, Tyzendail was the one fighting you in Galadon and the Sewers last night. Because I'm standing there *watching* doesn't mean it is two on one. I didn't even jump in at the Large Intersection when Tyzendail had you jacked, backstabbed, then got wanted and attacked by arbiters.
No, if you see me, then I'm not after you.
I've gone after you once:
You slide up behind Althusser and drive your sword through his back.
Althusser falls to the floor, blood flooding from his pierced heart.
Althusser is DEAD!!
> The biggest problem I've encountered is not with battle rager powers, but with their politics. It makes me wish Thror deleted instead of immorting, so I could use the phrase "Thror would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the way they are currently acting."
> I've had no encounteres with Dhaevor, so I don't know what his stance is on the rager death squad that currently roams thera. "Honorable" combat (and I never fully understood the nebulous rager-definition of the word so please no lectures on my stupidity) seems quite frankly to be a thing of the past. Or if not "honorable", "fair" or even more essentially, a "duel" so to speak.
> When I log on and have Gruntok, Takashimi, Tyzendail, Elgadon and Ioanis after me, I wonder if I should take it as a compliment that ragers feel they need so many to make it "fair", if I should be pissed that it is a gang bang, or just do the ic thing and lecture them on their rude behavior. Perhaps a little bit of all of these things.
> I am not citing any individual rager, but it seems to me that there are a couple very good players with a strict "if I can't do this on my own, it's not worth doing" mentality, with the rest being a tribe of hangers on and packrats. But even rats can be deadly in high enough numbers...
