Well its not how I normally spend my Thursday afternonns
( its afternoon here ) but what a laugh.

Nothing unusual at the start cleared two cow games and
had pictures taken ( I think I was late for most of them )

Then all maturity and rationale totally disappeared and
the Blood Moor turned into a blood bath with 6 homocidal
maniacs running ( and teleporting )around trying to
exterminate each other WHAT A LAUGH ....

Thank you too everyone there , for a great crack even if I
did die about 20 times ( not too bad i'd just levelled so
wasn't too bad )

One small point , I have no idea who most of you were
I managed to work out that Tanivan was Tanivan ( I knew
those Sherlock Holmes books wouldn't be wasted )

Once again , thanks for the crack .

*dm0707

P.S  Do I qualify as the official " PCM (un )lucky sacrifical charm "
       died twice in cows and both times uniques immediately
       dropped sorry I could n't manage it third time .

Dueling should never be mistaken for PKing. Dueling, especially among
friends, can be a real hoot, and also sharpens your skills.

Welcome to the I GOT FRAGGED club. I also bought the farm twice in the cows
yesterday. If you never die, you aren't enjoying the game to it's fullest.
NO GUTS, NO GLORY :)

One fun thing to do is to collect a bunch of low lvl uniques and set item,
lvl a few of the same chars up to use em, and then duel.

That was so funny.  Here is how it all started;

I asked Tan what level of Static Field covers the whole screen.  He wasn't
sure so we hostiled and left town and I kept walking while he casts until I
reach the range.  Then *grin* I decide to "show" Tan how far my Inferno
reaches with Evil_BBQ.  2 seconds later Dead Tanivan and then the gloves are
off;

All hell breaks loose.  Evil_BBQ was killing everyone even when they were
*All* ganging up on me.  Then much switching of chars later and the standoff
was between my Javazon, Tan's Sorceress and Simon's Burritozon.  It was
pretty much a tie I would say in the end.  Wish someone had taken a
screenshot of the field outside town though.  There must have been 1000 ears
(mostly tanivans...)

Great Fun

We really should do that more often.... Firstly, it's just plain fun.
Secondly, it helps you understand the skills better, and thirdly, if you
have dueled like that for a while and a PK shows up in a public game, you
will find out how much better you are than they are. I would bet both nuts
that if I outfitted Zilth with the best of the best, he would eat any PK out
there. I KNOW how good he was at dueling in D1 :)

Yeah, I was owning his FO sorc (dual ravens) - unfortunately, you were
owning me with your javazon :-)

And yeah, there was a bunch of ears on the ground :-)

Well, Mickey's an avowed SC player - besides, body retrieval adds a whole
'nother element to the game ;-)

So many places I could go with that, that I probably shouldn't ;-)

Been there, done that, found it boring as hell. I prefer to play flying from
the seat of my pants.
