In Reply to: I emphatically deny that Tyzendail was the only one attacking me. Ioanis did as well. And your comment about "even if I was stalking?"...that sounds like you were their backup plan. You sure don't weasel around the tablet, do you. posted by Althusser on April 11, 2000 at 20:20:30:
This is the crap that I posted about a couple of weeks ago. Vague notions are constantly posted here. If these events are actually happening, tell the battle imms.
I certainly don't need any help killing you, nor would Tyzendail or Ioanis. I watched Tyz fight you both times and Ioanis definitely did not assist.
And the answer is 'no, I don't try to weasel out of the tablet', else I could have started stalking and assassinated you when you got jacked any of those times.

If you are intimidated by the presence of ragers, that's your problem. As it is, I won't even attack a jacked/cold be sleep'd person...even if the person who put them to sleep says 'you take them'. Because that's weaseling around the tablet.

"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.

Perhaps a little bit of all of these things.
