Ok, so my questions is.... if it says in the help files for complain(help complain) "'complain <me>' always works. It is the only way to surrender when wanted."

then it should ALWAYS work right? If this is only talking about before guards attack you, then "follow guard" would also be a way to surrender And therefore "complain me" not be the "Only" way.

I'm not complaining about the guards attacking me, just that i couldnt turn myself in EVEN tho the help files say you can!

Anyways, i lost some 195k xp, a friend picked up my eq tho.

195k isnt that big a deal, but its annoying and i think at the least, the help files need to be clerified so some other unfortunate doesnt get himself killed trusting to the justice of the elves...

DOH!2002-04-15 22:21:11
Well, I see you typed 'complain me' which is the EXAMPLE..

Sort of reminds me of the Blazing Saddles old gag.. some person leading a group reciting..
"I Headly Lamar promise...." the group says, "I Headly Lamar" doh!

Help file probably should say complain "your pchar name" or something.
Unknown2002-04-15 22:46:06
you type complain yourname, not complain me, you dumbass
Zio2002-04-15 22:54:59
to Doh! haha, youve seen blazing saddles? i didnt know anyone else had watched that, was funny. ok, well guess i messed up, but still, i think complain me should work. To Unknown, 1: it wasnt exactly like i had time to think, i typed complain me, tried just complain and was going to try complain zio but i died before i could 2: saying it nicely would have worked just as good as calling me a dumbass. I posted this here cuz i wondered what i did wrong or if it was a bug. The biggest difference between mume.net and elvenrunes is people like you making rude/stupid comments. If your gonna say somethin, use your name.
Gilliam2002-04-15 22:55:43
LOL... This log reminds me the first time I went to GH (level 2 or 3). It was the first time I was going to visit another city. I didn't knew the weapon rule and my knowledge of Sindarin was like 10%. I saw the guards talking to me but I didn't figure out what they want so I kept wandering in town with the guards following me. Then... THEY SLAYED ME!! LOL
An Estonian2002-04-15 23:07:20
you newbie need learn that everypeople sucks at mume. only estonian good mume because we got levels high in bn and zorc and troll. if me no estonian then me wish i dead. estonia kicks bum!
Kirmin2002-04-15 23:57:38
Read the weapon rule and the other rules on mume.pvv.org,wielding weapon in a city were you not a citizen is not alowed only in tb you alowed to wield weapon without tobe a citizen.
Unknown2002-04-16 03:20:00
Generally, when something is surrounded by <> then it is implied that you replace that with something else...
Ethar2002-04-16 04:12:19
well you know everything else works with "me", but why not this? :p eh anyway comf on death and you will learn not to go afk with unsheathed weapon :)

Rayden2002-04-16 13:55:50

Rayden2002-04-16 13:56:49
Fuck.. make this thing work..
'complain Rayden' for example :) fuck this sucks..
Khazir2002-04-16 14:41:37
If you think you found a bug, why don't you use the 'bug' command then?

Whenever you are supposed to substitute something, they put the thing in < >'s, remember that for next time. like, k , you dont say k animal, you say k boar (for example).
