> He doesn't. So then I think, hmmm, I should've sacrificed his equipment to depress him. Then he'd probably have quit. > Or do you think, no, you should've sacrificed his stuff. Only practical. If i get annoyed i just shout ARSE or something and blow off my steam, i never ever get worked up,unless i'm posting notes and it's for the duration of me typing the sentence..what anyone else writes has no effect on me...(as for what annoys me on irc its that sad bastards actually spend their time trying to wind me up, not the actually winding up) Anyway sacrificing stuff would be for purely practical reasons such as
"if he has to go requip he can't defend the cabal quite so effectively"
The idea of sacrificing equipment to attempt to depress the end user (player) i find utterly abominable, it is the players who take effort in sacrificing equipment that would be useful to the player yet of no great detriment to his own health.
