Ok.

You start to concentrate...

I was there, but not in on any part of that kill. But they did narrate after you died that maybe you had freeze, so they intentionally left your corpse. But as I understand what happened, 3 bns with stored fballs stormed you....nothing they could have done if you failed flee.
Oscarmeyer2001-06-02 04:02:38
BTW, *comfort* Ganon. Ask my puke to help you re eq ;)
Arciryas2001-06-02 04:03:41
Is that standard protocol for accidently linkless kills? I only half-looted my corpse in my haste :p Thanks for the explanation :)
hate2001-06-02 04:24:21
we arent linkless killers
We 4 found a dwarf with flag north gate and didnt touch him.
If u have an huge freeze or got noflag we cant do shit, only kill
Arciryas2001-06-02 04:26:20
Well, what about the whole fleeing-one-room thing?
Unknown2001-06-02 04:34:56
if you had freezes why the fuck continue fighting them? if you went to shady or some gm and stayed there and yelled you freezing, there is a greater chance of you not dying
Arciryas2001-06-02 04:38:01
I froze WHILE fighting them :(
Bobb2001-06-02 04:47:05
yes i thank you for spareing me second time after i prayed back and lost link but you fball fled me while i was linkless you lammers and you looted all my eq you did it to switch 2 i fucking pissed you made me sing i'm a little tea cup at bree to get money i hope your fucking happy =p
Ulairy2001-06-02 05:36:27
These freezes was global, we was suffering too. Next time dont drop link but just wait for reconnect. We (ok, at least me) never nuked some1 with flag. Later I got freeze when fighting 1 vs 5 (or 6?) and died in 10 secs. But - *nod Oscar* - no one can understand if you are linkdead or just fail flees when group kills you in seconds...
Nazrif2001-06-02 06:31:00
quit bitchin. you do it to me all the time.
On the third Thrimidge, 2885, you were slain in the Dark Dry Cave by a Dwarf
(while feeling less in control of yourself than usual). You deserved it
Nazrif2001-06-02 06:37:23
It really sucks do die linkless... nm about that deserve stuff
Jalin2001-06-02 10:49:45
noone deserves linkless death unless they blatantly kill others
linkless. in this case, it can be excused as it happened mid-fight.
dont be a dick tho people. have some consideration. alot of players
are very thoughtful about this. spare someone and you might be
spared also.
Eryn2001-06-02 11:53:24
I dunno about anyone else, but I hate freezes/linkdrop and then reconnecting and finding that I've mobripped to some aggr mob.
Oscarmeyer2001-06-02 14:08:56
And just for the record, at *least* one of the bns thought dwarf dropped link on purpose the second time, and still didn't nuke. I wish I had logged the fight, since I wasn't involved with that kill (was resting mps, what else?) and would be able to offer a more impartial view, at least of the narrates.
Oscarmeyer2001-06-02 14:09:54
One more minor detail: by the end of the fight we were 5 bns, not 3 (although I was resting 50% of the time, and 2 of the bns weren't legends)
Edvard2001-06-02 19:22:35
what is this? the third whinelog in a row? *ponder*
Deimus2001-06-02 20:39:44
yeah well, thats what happens when dumbass newbies try to fight
bns - they die horribly! stay in bree, arciryas.
