Ahh, I see it now. If you look at the log though, he most likely would have died anyway (was looking different dirs, etc). Also, there was a caster 3 rooms away, I was scouting to make sure it wasn't a trap. (It's fun to xp tbad/sewers as low/midlevel bn, but don't try it if you were seen first :)

nod nod, thought you'd be tracking Astar, since we were on same mount. And if the mps wouldn't fail I could easily get away from Tharbad, at any level. :) I know sewers by heart! (just not that particular room :P) Yadda yadda, just think it looked funny. Datz all.

Well, I assumed you were higher level since you had stuck around when Astar chased Isra. If Astar hadn't blocked inn I would have gone for him instead of you, but by the time block wore off he was long gone and the caster had found your tracks. He didn't know MA area, so I scouted for him :P The best thing about playing lower levels is that it is hard to get pissed when you die :)

In fact, I think it would be interesting if the superlegend eq was removed from the game: reduce effect of scrolls, rings, staves, foci, etc. Maybe give alternative ways to effect ob/pb/db/save/attackspell etc, based on what you prac rather than what you wear. That is, if a mage wants good defense, he pracs spells to that effect (with increased bonus over what is given now, to compensate for lack of eq). The more 'defensive' spells that mage pracs, the better his defense is. However, maybe he would specialize in 'offensive' spells instead, and the more attack spells he learned the better they would be. Similar things would happen for warriors (buffers and smackers), clerics (harmers and healers), thieves (piercers and dodgers), etc. Racial modifiers would still apply, and age too. Please note, though, I'm just throwing this out for discussion, I don't really WANT it to happen (would make things boring in some ways). It would require M8 or something, and I doubt I would stick around if there wasn't any 'fun' stuff like smobs, looting a well-loaded corpse, etc. I'm just curious what all of you think :P

Erk. You people have a lot in common with North American inhabitants, in that you have no idea what Irony means. The irony here (even if he didn't realise it, and forgive me for not studying the comments closely here) is that the BN was trying his first backstab, only for that to fail and for him to be backstabbed himself in the process. I kinda liked it till I read that no-one else understood it. Once more, I'm left feeling different ... *snicker*

Errm, mume itself is pointless if you think about it, a little entertainment and some immediate cures for boredom but there is very few things you can keep for life. Now I wonder, What is a meaningful log? Even if its a log of 1 troll killing 6 NSL in one shot there is only maybe 1-2k people in the world that can really understand it and maybe only like 500 that can really understand it. This has nothing to do with this log or comments, im just wondering what is the offial criteria of a non-pointless log? one that doesnt show overkilling? one that doesnt show one person that is stronger taking out someone that is weaker? maybe one where an underdog wins over an overpowered person?(which by the way will happen due to statistical laws) SO what is a meaningful log?

Re: Relim: Actually, I think there are multiple levels of irony here. Here are just a few: 1) He says he's ok, then dies just after. 2) He (like you said) fails his first stab then dies to one (BTW< he failed that stab b/c I was in the room) 3) A person inexperienced with stab dies to one who plays like he is ETC. ETC. :)

nod relim, its amazing how dimwitted these ppl are...they think that atanastor is complaining...he isn't...etc....I can understand why most of you will never amount to anything than another heap of carbon pumping his meat behind the monitor on Saturday nights.
