Shesh keeps on trying

Kalabalik is da man, skellen apparently is not (as we all knew)

Good job!
robh · 19 Oct 2004

its almost as if skellen knew he was gonna suck, he looted so damn fast
MikeS · 19 Oct 2004

Props for the ninja loot though!
Lembolas · 19 Oct 2004

What kind of a moron are you? Kalabalik is da man? You mean his MUD Client had a pk alias set for Skellen, and he plain types to slow to type get all.corpse. If you ask me Kalabalik showed a lack of skill, and proved he relies on his client to action for him. And don't gimme any of this who is this newbie crap...I pre-date 95% of the Mud population so stuff it.
ddog · 19 Oct 2004

wow that was bitter
Oleg · 19 Oct 2004

If you read more carefull , you would see that Kalabalik was simply lagged after stab and could not loot. Skellen was pretty fast tho :)
As for the "keeps trying" thing, Ive seen quite a few logs already when shesh's attempts got successful result. So keep on boggling
fredrik · 19 Oct 2004

As Oleg says, I was lagged from backstab and was not able to loot, And saying I am unskilled and relies on my client to play for me, is also quite untrue, I use no scripts, except for one to loot coins!
ralfiepoo · 19 Oct 2004

lies, we know your sister takes over every time something like this happens!

KLOOT

I don't see much in this log that would point to skellen as being one of the many bot pkers, altho with fade, a simple alias is all you really need to whack someone in no time if they aren't expecting it.
tudets · 20 Oct 2004

wow Lembolas, you really look stupid now after that post. Ever heard of stab lag? And i think people who do not use aliases to play are plain stupid since it helps you to react much faster. Try em once and you might not suck as much anymore.

Ps. And Oleg i didn't say Shesh keeps on sucking, i said he keeps on trying and that's a fact ain't it?
Sfinx · 20 Oct 2004

What kalabalik showed with not looting Skellen is not a lack of typingskills, but a lack of less backstab-lag.
And Lembolas showed he suffers from a complete lack of braintissue with that remark, so i'll refer to you in the future accordingly, moron.

"You receive 0 experience.

Skellen arrives from the EAST."

Frankly that was a great kill by Kalabalik. I do however think that he underestimated his opponent in not looting and that Lembolas is not the one lacking braintissue. Obvious points of interest:
1) Kalabalik makes 2 stabbing Skellen look easy
2) Skellen hits 1,d,e,n,w,get all corpse,e,s,w,u and recovers his loot in a timely fashion
3) We do not see Kalabalik type get all corpse ... just The corpse doesn't seem to have what you are looking for.
4) Since when has DARKRENS marked the end of another day?

Just a brainfart :) Great kill and log btw. Would be nice to limit the flaming whenever a log gets posted. (and YES I am going for the record number of edits on a comment to date)
fredrik · 21 Oct 2004

Just one of countless of my stupid subs, and no, I'm not even gonna try to explain it :)
runulv · 21 Oct 2004

dont try to explain that sentence either plz
fredrik · 21 Oct 2004

It makes sense.
Sfinx · 22 Oct 2004

Fredrik always makes sense.
stunt · 22 Oct 2004

Chewbacca doesnt make any sense
Manu · 22 Oct 2004

Making sense is irrelevant as long as one makes corpses.
patrick · 22 Oct 2004

Even Self-Corpses?
psychoDAD · 23 Oct 2004

laf. shesh rules all you goons name another person in the game that runs around when enemies are on and tries to solo them himself in enemy time with their main character. And then name a person who actually scores the kills the majority of the time and gets away with it.

Mavlad doesnt count because all he ever uses is his trash Lauriel

Shesh has pulled off many kamikaze runs on his own and you never see them posted on here.

So id say Shesh is THE MAN .

and definitely has more balls then most of the playerbase combined on here.
