It probably wasn't really a perma, but when you have a competent imperial council rolling in on you, and you are a stupid lout who will always try to put up a defense, it -feels- like a perma. My only reprieve was when they would go rest off their laughter-cramps with a trip to gather fat shiny loot from some obscure or difficult location.

I had no idea that a VPN could be so cheap and actually speed up my ping. I wish someone had suggested it long before this new government officially gave its blessing to ISP data mining.by Quixotic - OT Board
Walking beans (pulling weeds) at 10 yrs old. 5 an hour back in 1980--above minimum wage, which was unbelievably good money. Sadly, until I got my bachelor's degree, as I got older the money never really got any better and the work only grew more physical.by Quixotic - OT Board
It showed solid tactics and strategy. Neither character was hitting for **DEMO** so we could see how to utilize defenses and skills when the game is not so simple as "I outdamage you, so I will lag you out".by Quixotic - Log Board
The only bard available then was Zagaer, who gave us the bird and joined Empire. I wish for once I was in a cabal with a committed bard. That might just need to be my next character.by Quixotic - Main Board

The solution most people suggest to deal with dexy characters is burst damage--offense. Based on size & strength, grant characters a chance to automatically throw characters off-balance who dodge their attacks. Off-balance characters cannot observe their opponents (no STSF charges that round) and receive an additional 4 pulse lag penalty if they were in self-induced or opponent-induced lag.by Quixotic - Main Board

I see two scenarios here. The first is we have a botched edit of the log. The second scenario involves user error discovering spaghetti code: 1. Heliosa switched to axes, but he hit is artery macro. 2. The command went through, but evade is checked before the code checks whether the actor holds the appropriate weapon to execute an artery.by Quixotic - Log Board

Its been a long time since I've con-died a character, but I was pleased that I could actually die after retrieving the head tonight. My laptop had died when I was AWOL for a month, and it was rough trying to rebuild a set that allowed me to compete while regaining my combat chops. Some great battles were to be had, although every time I play a scout I find myself asking WHY 9 out of 10 fby Quixotic - Char Board
