But sometimes, you can win without killing someone and the game isn't about having 100% in all of your skills. After all, you had the latter and all it did was make you bored and you stopped playing Rooqweaz. The log you are complaining about is all about RP. Sure, I had no chance to kill Zorszaul while he was prepared like that, but since the concept of RP is so alien to you, let me offer the alternatives.
I can pull a Gelkof/Kobaine and suddenly have to quit or drop link. That looks great in front of all of the other villagers (which if you'll notice, had a couple of chars who turned out to be great, maybe Tak died hoping that part of that came from his leadership).
I can refuse to fight and let him walk all over the village. Hey, I didn't get killed so I won, right?
Another great example in front of the village.
I can run out there and make a half-hearted attempt and vanish away. I didn't die and kept my eq, so I won, right?
Oh, and as far as my tactics in this fight, I'm sure you would have whipped out your 100% in haggle and whipped Zorszaul's ass. Other than that, actually read through the log and look at all of my commands.
> if you look at this log from one side:
> courageus rager attacks Zorszaul!
> if you look from other point
> He knew he was going to die (no wonder)
> so he went and die.
> IT IS EASY! IT CAN BE DONE BY MANY PEOPLE.
> Dawns do it often enough. They come, spam some wrathes/bashes
> on Zorszaul and watch them dying.
> Much harder to actually try to do all you can.
> I think a rager should fight with courage, right, but
> he should TRY to win the fight.
> Of course, he has nearly to zero chances to win this fight.
> But did he TRY to win it? No. He didn't do anything to try

> try any tactic, try to fool him, whatever
> If you fail, so be it. but at least TRY.
