That was also nice to have although disappointing too. Basically I knew there was a wanted necro who wanted to get into the ghoul tunnels. So I was staking out Hamsah. He was just trying to wait me out and world come in as soon as I logged off, which was going to be soon. So I decided I would act my lawful evil alignment and make a bargain with him that I honoured but which didn't givby daurwyn - Main Board
Nererial, Emperor of Imbeciles. Even though I had to pay twice to get it surely correctly. I got that title for sending my plot to Shadow Lord Xxxx, not realising that by calling him Shadow lord in the "To" field, I was actually sending the note to the whole Shadow sect.by daurwyn - Main Board
So... I was able to play from my laptop for a few hours not so long ago, and I went from getting slaughtered in every fight to winning them all, simply from having aliases in most fights and a decent keyboard for the rest. Which convinced me that my method of playing from my mobile really is hugely handicapping. For example, I can never quaff a teleport portion because it's too long an aby daurwyn - Main Board
Or is it just when you shift to something outside of your racial or guild based norms? For example, if neutral human invoker becomes good human invoker... Would there be a penalty?by daurwyn - Log Board
They can put aside laws in the pursuit of criminals but only if no innocents are harmed. Here we have innocents being harmed. Technically it is flaggable. Funstick wise it is not flaggable since it didn't ruin anyone else's day and would add insult to already fatal injury.by daurwyn - Log Board
1. I couldn't be bothered to reread the log again to check whether someone showed rager powers. Hence my caveat. 2. This is not a joke or pointless dig at Jalim. Unless I'm mistaken he pretty much references the magic flag, and views blessed progging items as ok. And generally speaking imms tolerate whatever he chooses to do. 3. Pretty sure there have been periods when ragers havby daurwyn - Log Board
1. Fair point if they have the head. 2. Jalim seems to think it is ok and imms world probably let his ragers use this stuff 3. Nah, for a reader to count a mob as equivalent to a famed adventurer is weak. Charmies don't justify multiple ragers. An uber Connie might justify it though. If he's really so tough. Not sure that's the case here. 4. Agree that it is part of tby daurwyn - Log Board
I don't like the idea of auto induct. Half the playerbase would have characters in each cabal and world use it to pick up info they shouldn't know about enemies of their other characters. Plus they'd always have an easy option for bandwagon.by daurwyn - Main Board
You kind of did cause the devil attack in Hamsah. It's not like you were there and he walked up to you, or he was inside the gate and you couldn't know he was there. You saw him on where and still walked towards him after he entered town, when you had an angry devil.

And also I will try to improve my tone in posting. I'm in the process of quitting my extremely well paid job (this afternoon, as soon as I get back from the hospital) because of the way the business treats the rest of the staff when we already had literally half our staff quit last year.

I don't think everyone had an automatic entitlement to get into whatever cabal they decide they want the powers of. That's why I don't complain when my Paladin doesn't get inducted for 200 hours into fort and gets no virtues (an imm said she was just about to do it) and why I didn't complain about tsal taking over 120 hours to get indicted into scarab. Why I didn'by daurwyn - Char Board
I said that it COULD be that the problem is with the cabal, but it might not be, based on what I specifically pointed out were limited interactions. Hell, it's even obvious from my post that I can't even be certain that these guys are the scarab apps! However, in terms of "how will these guys learn", they could learn by trying to incorporate more rp into their pk. No oneby daurwyn - Char Board
Based on process of elimination, and only one seems to have interesting rp. The rest I've just seen pk without rp. So I am still open to whether the issue is how the cabal is run, Vs whether it is actually a combination of inadequate rp and a failure to grasp what is likely to get you into scarab (potentially different issues for different characters, rather than characters failing on boby daurwyn - Char Board
Is that you can more safely gather wands. Assuming you are strong enough to get them solo.by daurwyn - Log Board
Sure, evil doesn't generally get circa 2k experience per mob, but being able to rank on evil as well as good is a big plus imho. And 1k per mob is adequate.by daurwyn - Main Board
Battle still has Magi to fight regardless of cabal. They could justify a war on the main canals if they wanted to. Balance wide I agree a number of things need changing. Dex warriors need a tone down. Accelerate prep in potion form that easy to get needs addressing. I'd also have more AI spots but each character just gets a subset. Entropy is a perfectly fine cabal.

The fend puts him into a non fighting state, which would normally be cancelled as he is sucked back into the fighting, but the snowstorm damage somehow prevents the getting ducked back into the fighting, perhaps by triggering retargeting. You know how stunning blow can sometimes work if auto assist is off.by daurwyn - Log Board
But largely because the seven winds of hamsah edge is too influential. Half the magnitude of the effect and you might be in the right ball park. When I played Imperial Dex sword spec I wanted as many enemies on me as I could get, for this reason.

Because a lot of our playerbase would have seized the chance to rack up extra pks in order to demonstrate... not sure what. But you almost certainly could have killed them here had you wanted.by daurwyn - Log Board
Because I explicitly said that there was nothing I could do to stop you escaping. So I want expecting you to die. I was expect you to retrieve since I couldn't prevent it if your made a few attempts. But you didn't come after the invoker refused to shield you even though you still weren't at risk of death. If there was a tiny chance of you dying without massively cocking up,by daurwyn - Log Board
Overrewarding was a symptom of that. For example, I would get negative comments about being slow to arrive at a defense because I was waiting for hamsah gates to open, ignoring that I slaughtered everyone once they opened. And then I got criticised for posting logs of me Vs multiple enemies because those logs happened to include jalim, I believe it was, fleeing early and leaving his groupmaby daurwyn - Log Board
I only send those about overrewarded characters who are scared to face an enemy that can't stop them escaping. Remember asking invokers to shield your Paladin and then refusing to attempt retrieval against me when they said no? Maybe if they'd given you a legacy on your non warrior it would have helped.

With my necro Baendra I managed to beat 4 enemies back to back without using protections, and what helped a lot was the fact that one had that vuln. I think he was the third of them and my vamp touches did annihilates and eradicates. So killed him fast and healed me up nicely for the last enemy.by daurwyn - Main Board
