a person with more later letters in his name is more likely to win, yes. :p

Instead of calling me Lahgen, just call me Zzzzzz from now on. :p

Lahgen

saw old crone in jot yesterday.

Lahgen

came up with an odd naming scheme for this one.

and "Jack Russel Murphy" has a nicer ring to it than "Jack Russel Marley."

So....

How long would the sleep effect last? Until you quit singing it?

Also, would it work if the mob was under attack?

Lahgen

I agree completely, Gormal. My descriptions might be a little bland at times but I try to stay within the rules stated in the help file.

Looks like I'll have to go roll a grey elf and pretend she's a wild elf.

My paladin Soruna was once named Seru, which I chose because I thought it was legal until I found that any fictional name, not just D&D, is illegal. I was 32 when I asked to have it changed and it was changed, but the imm almost seemed annoyed that I even bothered.

(pronounced Lih-ser-rey) The scent of sea salt permeated the sea cave underneath Baldur's Gate. In this coral laden grotto, the Umberlaunt priest, Dread Wavelord Laroyan waited. He sat upon his stone seat, basking in the presence of the sea beyond. A coral encrusted trident sat upon his lap, wrapped...

"Mercy? You want mercy?! I'm Chaotic Neutral!!"

That's Lahgen's new IC motto. :p

Yeah, like human or something.

Death should stay as it is. Those who are truly strong will soldier through.

If two people go the same amount of times, why should one person have twice the number of Tier 1 items as the other? They should have the same number of items. It's just greedy if you think you're entitled to a random bid and just because you're "lucky" you get more items. (Note: every use of the w...

thanks to Auril for her help in editing. The moonless, starless sky showed through the window, as Nenaga slept, surrounded in the quiet inn atmosphere. No dream of sorrow, nor joy, nor ecstasy penetrated her deep slumber. As the night revelled in victory over the day, in anticipation of being humbl...

Lahgen

He did get to see Nenaga sacrifice a villager to Shar during the chaos. Shadechill ftw!

Lahgen

Agreed. And here I thought the video for Vermillion by Slipknot made no sense.

Lahgen

Muahahahahaha!

I don't mind the idea of prepariing for tia. Good potions and scrolls at ends of zones, or key devices like avernus > bel. It would sure take a lot of people out of active smiting tho, would be terrible to ahve it require simple quest bits that can be done with one person, they would be farmed beyo...

seconded.

Lahgen

You have to zone to go to Tia.

You have to roleplay to get a restring.

Lahgen

Fifthed! Just because my mere presence may well derail this thread. :p

Lahgen

Perhaps, then, it would help if the credits file read:

The Lair of Tiamat --------------- levels 50 Only! ------------ College students Only! ------------ Maker: Shevarash/Shar

Lahgen

My guess is that one is supposed to jump through the hoops until the other players approve of you.

Lahgen

In addition, it would be harder to go and correct a character with bad stats once you get it to 50.

Lahgen

sigh, Lahgen, go get beat up somemore. Dont make the rest of the world suffer for your insecurity. I say this because of your using the term "brow beating" when certian people declare that the mud is too easy, it is not a direct attack on your skills as a player. You are correct, of course. I have ...

Lahgen

Those who get power will do whatever it takes to keep it, it seems.

Lahgen

Even if the mud was made harder, there'll always be SOMEONE around browbeating the rest of the mud for the fact that it's not "hard enough."

Lahgen

I got liberal libertarian.

Lahgen

And people wonder why I roll chick characters. :p

Seriously though, Lopi and I faced a situation like this earlier when we were on pship, and the tank decided to pwn the Sunite priestess...we managed to pwn the priestess without killing Res. We sure blinded him a few times though!

Lahgen

You want to know why I started this thread? It was after I had a discussion with Thilindel on how skill notches could be worked better in order to make them more fun, while maintaining "challenge." The point being that, as it is, the skill notches are more work than fun. They should still be done if...

Lahgen

You're absolutely right about my internal state, Ashiwi, and I didn't intend to deny it. Cynicism easily leads to depression, because one sees everything as folly. And now that I know that, I can work to keep myself more optimistic. The thing is, as has been said in the past, it's not all about me. ...

Lahgen

Ideally, work and fun should be intertwined. But when it comes to the point where there is no fun but only work, what can be done to return fun to the equation?

Lahgen

This would a great thing for roleplaying, as I'm sick and f'ing tired of having to explain to people that anti-paladins are LAWFUL evil, not CHAOTIC evil, which is the only evil most people seem to think exists. You make a good point about people underestimating Lawful Evil, but in all fairness, it...

Lahgen

But yes the real time a player uses a char and its skill should affect what that skill should be from a role playing aspect, period. Interesting idea. Along those lines, perhaps skill notches and their frequency could be tied to the playing time value? Like, it might be impossible to have 99 in you...

Lahgen

The only time a person has a right to complain about bidding is if they're not getting an equal chance at it. Just because some people are luckier than other doesn't mean it's not "fair."

Opting to double post rather than edit so I don't trip things up for people who have already read the post... Also, Ambar, I do learn from my mistakes.

Okay, I'll wait till you return to give full comment, but for now... Bitter? Damn right I am. But so what? You guys speak to me in intemperate and uncivil tones and expect me to take your advice to heart regardless of your intentional refusal to act in a proper and civil manner, why should it be any...

Lahgen

It's not a mater of wanting to keep the gap between the older chars and the newer chars. That's still the main thrust of the argument for people like Pava. They want to ensure that they have something over the talented rookies. "Cheapened" or not, I cannot agree that that alone is a reason to keep ...

Lahgen

Reminds me of hazing. Older players had to do a lot of jumping thru hoops so to speak. Now when things get upgraded, it makes the older player feel like their time was wasted. That's a very good point. The thing is, offline, things that have been harder or impossible in the past are now easy. They ...

Thilindel wrote:Where's the disclaimer on the mud that says: Warning, in order to play melee classes on higher endgame, you will be required to spam hours of practicing skills in order to function as expected from a group leader because melee skills don't notch to fruition with regular usage.

Amen.

Lahgen

Here's the thing. The objection to the idea of making notches easier seems to be that, just because they've been around longer, they, for *that* reason, should have something over a talented rookie of equal skill. Whereas I think that, someone who is just as good as the best rogues in the game, but ...

Lahgen

Actually, I'm not talking about any of those things, at least not specifically. It was this post on the skill notching thread that prompted this question(emphasis mine): There is no reason that I should be able to roll a new rogue, and have the same abilities as Pava in a week (assuming player skill...

Lahgen

Is mere seniority enough of a reason to be "entitled" to more things than someone of equal skill to you, who has been around for less time?

Lahgen

As I see it: It's not that we want all characters to be "equal." Because, as stated before, merely having max skills doesn't make you uber. You only get what you put into it. If you put enough effort into it, you can be as good as Pava or Ashiwi, regardless of whether or not they got a break on skil...

Lahgen

There would be difference. In how you use those skills. Merely having them doesn't make you a good player. So why not let them have it? They'd still have to work hard in order to become leet, they just wouldn't have to put in mind numbing hours of skill practice.

Lahgen

Well, yes, for the individual. But to say that someone "hasn't earned it" implies that it is a judgement that a person can make about another person, as evidenced by all the people saying that they want to keep skill notches hard so they can have something over talented newbies. That is what I objec...

Lahgen

I'm all for difficulty and working hard for what you get. That said, it seems that the people who are more firmly of this view state it as though it were a foregone conclusion. So for those like me who don't see it as a foregone conclusion, tell me...how is it that "easy to get" *has* to equate with...
