The patience of the stabber... edited as short as I could, but my logs usually k
Background kinda important to this one. Earlier, I'd stabbed Watar to bad, he'd run off, I had no moves
so never caught up. hoever, I did notice that he'd useed his favoured hiding place, at foliage 
north of midgewater to regen moves. 

When I heard he'd gone back to GH to run riot again, I mentioned to them in passing that they'd
be better anticipating where he'd rest for moves rather than trying to keep up with him -
he's quite a bit better than most of those that were doing the chasing!

Anyway, as soon as I said this, I figured, well, practise what you preach - he'd have to rest when 
he returned - and he'd come here last time - and i had vague memories of him coming 
here before...

Not much more than a stab log with a whole lot of patience and a bit of luck. Posted somewhat
on request.

a guess, he was the one who dropped it...

And so the wait continues. ...

===========================

This being the point of the log. Not much of one. But a point all the same.

Anyway. It's been maybe 30 minutes so far. Mindnumbingly boring. But I was
sure he was going to come here eventually, partly because he'd left backpack 
here (of sorts) and partly because he would have to rest up somewhere
between GH and Bree and this seemed to be a favoured spot.

////puts me to shame. best attitude to have. 


Eiwowiel tells you 'hehe' <--- later, i find out he'd got Watar rather low, 
			       tho the outcome would have been the same.

////Equip was okay, less draughts than I wanted.. :P

In all, just another stab log - Wryak's attitude impressed most, and, as I told him later, 
it's pretty impossible to kill someone that smart most any other way 
(give or take silly overkill traps)

ganon2001-07-29 04:56:31
i kept meeting watar and hitting and such....i missed him in a trap by massive roots*slap self*.....when lost him water no more tracks were recently found so i decided to sell some loot and go out again to track...then relim's narrate came that watar rips....after all that chasing in bm..*congratz relim*
ganon2001-07-29 04:57:22
Her that is....
David2001-07-29 05:03:42
okok, i gotta hand it to you.. this is the first time i have ever seen you get a kill.. but it sure was a nice one =)
Relim2001-07-29 05:06:37
I didn't bother posting the 7,823 level 1 troll kills that got me to warlord :P
Snoochy2001-07-29 05:15:12
Ganon sucks... Wryak is the man tho.
Tada2001-07-29 05:37:01
Ganon, you are not able to chase a mouse in BM.
Live with it or learn to do better.
And for chirsstsake - stop narrating idiocies so much -
we already know you are clueless.
Lore2001-07-29 07:02:04
Excellent example of solo play! *claps* Sure the final stroke was swift but the planning and calculation rocked.
Echo2001-07-29 07:22:07
Relim, 30-60 min wait, is that all? you gots to come play troll more, not until 2 hours does it hit the long wait.
rza2001-07-29 07:23:27
is superdeathflame retarded or what
Lochdale2001-07-29 08:44:49
Ganon may be clueless but he is learning and he does his best. That was a fantastic kill. Think about it: Relim learns from his enemys methodology and idiosyncracies, he adapts and exploits them. Its a great kill. Well done brit.
Wryak2001-07-29 08:52:57
I laughed out RL, was so well anticipated move - I was resting outside foliage for a bit, then thought I better go in it coz some stabber will come, or go in mewlips but heyyyy :) damn lucky namire got first flee outta room on awful in bms :)

where'd you learn his hiding spots? wd anyway :)
Tasslehoff2001-07-29 13:20:17
nice work lad, it makes me feel proud of ye
Relim2001-07-29 13:29:35
Like I said in log, I've rumbled with him there before, and noticed that that was where he ran for regen when i stabbed him earlier that day. No matter how many draughts you have, you gotta have a favoured resting place (necro, for example), on your wandering back to the east from GH.
Mouser2001-07-29 23:58:37
nice kill ..... very patient as well
Sting rocks those orcies! Even if he was full likely would have been awful
after stab .... cheers to watar as well for attitude
Blake2001-07-30 00:40:01
Even tho yer patter is so obviously full of bullshit sometimes,that was ,to tur n a phrase,truly impressive.
Devastator2001-07-30 10:59:24
Nice going mate, but that is the reason I never play thieves.
