..if you're not ganging down noobs. Why shouldn't it be the official stance that it's ok for people to chill together. Especially if they're in the same cabal. I specifically talked to someone recently about this who used to be an avid CF'er and they came up with the conclusion that they'd rather play with their friends and personally there's not enough CF fun o
..the amount of griefers is actually quite a bit less then it was in the past. They just hold a higher percentage of the playercount because the base is down now. I'd say for the most part, people seem to be pretty chill and although the competitiveness has raised just due to the sheer amount of vets vs new players, you see a level of sportsmanship which I applaud. I think the real problem
..The fact that you caught him with almost none of his preps up as an invoker with plenty of a/b/s was probably a combination of your tactics and his lack of concentration.
You obviously left out a lot, but were you scanning constantly while letting him chase you around for an opportunity to catch him with his major shield down? Or did you just happen to strike at the right time and are you
..this game was based on the idea that people can enjoy it a myriad of ways. Each adding to the game regardless of how they find it enjoyable. If you're handicapping people based on how you perceive they should enjoy the game, then you're limiting the amount of players who are going to play the game. My suggestions are the following. Give everyone the same amount of edge points regardle
"Then for the loser to say to the mage if you did not have ABS I would own you, or if you did not have preps I would stomp you. That's true. It's also pointless. That's like saying I could out run you a world class sprinter if he did not have legs. He has legs, he's going to use them. The mage does have those things. He's be an idiot to not use them. You know he has
The game was a lot more new player friendly back in the day because preps weren't the end-all be-all. Now average players look ridiculous because of their prep knowledge and tactics take a huge back seat to damage reduction especially in classes who can use wands. I constantly see people make terrible mistakes in logs, but still pull out fights where the odds are against them because they
..kickass with overpowered deathblow. Then make your claims please =) Yes, it seems overpowered at times, but it's been like that forever and you never see people on the berserker side end a character saying that db was overpowered because of all of the drawbacks there are form playing ragers.

But the reality is that things pretty much never are ideal (definitely at a grander scale). So, you're pragmatic rather than honest.
Honest diplomacy is playing poker with your cards open so everyone can see them, not a smart thing to do. Realistic diplomacy is playing with the same intent, but with your cards viewable only by yourself.

I'm sure you've been to businessmeetings where you think 'what an asshole', but suck it up, because you need to be professional and seal the deal. Should it be made public that you think that guy's an asshole, it will surely harm your relation with that guy. Same thing with diplocamy.
It's the Machiavellian principle of it being great that you'
I'm not sure if Grimnel wanted to be left alone. Plus I just never understood the draw to dent. It's just a waste of a combat move that theoretically could have helped you win the fight.
..CF should never punish people for just wanting to kill (without breaking any rules) and not overly interact with others. Anyways, sounds like you were a beast. Fire Sword in Empire is generally uber nasty. I'm surprised you didn't use axes more often. Weaponbreaker can change fights in a heartbeat.

J/k. I'm just glad to see any logs period personally. I wish the log titles wouldn't give away the outcome of the fights. It's fun to read them not knowing what's going to go down.

..but at the same time, an eye for an eye sort of deal just leaves a cycle of crapiness going. It's definitely within your rights and I've definitely been guilty of it I'm sure, but just treating people as you'd want to be treated is definitely the easiest way to keep people's fun sticks from eroding. Anyways, of course, if you need gear that said person has, it's we
..as Tobeldest, I would force villagers to give shit back from my kills to enemies I respected. I remember dying to a giant gang on Eastern Road when I was the only rager on and I know I had decent stuff so it was crazy that out of a 4-5 man gang, I came back to my corpse with all of them there and everything returned. I've always loved the thrill of the fight and yes, knowing the consequenc
..are you saying that the veil being stronger allows for more db's to be thrown? If so, doesn't that just aid in mass logons and screw over the underdog? I'd much rather have it where villager powers are pumped when numbers are bad, but that's just me.
