    nice hit, was zexx held? how did he not see you walk by and recall? Jesus.

    Not trying to critisize you zexx but:

    "Not trying to critisize you zexx but:"
    Ok deoph, I see you armchair quarterbacking every log on this site so you must be pretty elite to have such far reaching knowledge. Why is it that I doubt you would have the rocks to say who your chars have been so WE can analyze your performances. I would put a few paychecks on the fact that You havent done shit, and probally arent shit, so should probally just shut the fuck up.
  3. tikk · 6 Jul 2005
    well put!
  4. Brafu · 6 Jul 2005
    The point he was trying to make is that Obi missed the opening bash and the others walked right by him. Zexx had more than enough time to tap a simple recall alias and he would have easily escaped death.Granted he might have been looking away from the monitor (or had the client in the background) for the 2-5 seconds it took the others to come back and attack. But the point itself was still valid.
  5. patrick · 6 Jul 2005
    Brafu: The point is people who are not in the situation really shouldnt be commenting on what people should have done, since they have 0 clue what was actually happening. You have no clue maybe zexx tried to hold obi, maybe he tried to heal self and lost concentration, maybe a kender stole his chest with recalls. There are always hundreds of variables in arctic in how you can fucked up hardcore, and unless you were staring at one of the screens present during the action, your basically speaking from a position of ignorance. Why dont you and deoph go make some nice retarded children together

    Re: patrick

    i believe the point brafu was trying to make (and i agree 100% with him) is that all those suggestions you've put forth are really bad moves, and the idea of him having chested recalls that were stolen is obviously not a valid suggestion, as recalls were looted off his corpse.
    1) healing self after a missed bash when 3 people walk in is bad. it's just prolonging the inevitable. esp when your groupie is unreliable and you're outnumbered.
    2) kender thing was adressed
    3) i see nothing wrong with people commenting on what "should" have happened or "could" have happened, as long as they make a decent suggestion. If nothing else, it gives the newbies who like reading logs some insight as to what they can do, rather than freezing up.
    the basic point is: zexx made some really bad decisions, and apparently makes them often, judging by the number of times he's appeared on this page.

    FUCKING EMAIL ME CHRIS! I was just thinking about you, you still owe me lunch jerk.
  8. patrick · 6 Jul 2005
    Everclear: FYI: If you see log from my perspective, Zexx and Thyrfing enter from South as I move south and down, just missing being triggered by me. Obi Since not moving lands his trigger, but I moved back into room bashing Zexx no more than half second after Obi missed bash. Now, if Zexx, being the underprivledged European that he is, was on dial-up, I doubt he could have recalled in time to beat my 40ms link. Now Im really not trying to defend Zexx, becuase Ive already seen him do some dumb stuff already. But the original point that we managed to get off was that Deoph has something to say about every log on this site, with either no experiance whatsoever to back up his commentery, or a nasty flap of scrotum hanging where 2 testicles SHOULD be and just hides behind anonymous posting nick, which usually indicates the former anyways.

    sekopää on selkä. thyrfing is badass band btw
  11. Brafu · 6 Jul 2005
    I see no point in aiming your hostility at me since what I said was simple logic and not very hard to grasp. If you have a problem grasping any part of my comment then please tell me what part confused you and I will happily explain it very slowly and clearly.

    Good Day.
  12. patrick · 6 Jul 2005
    Brafu: Hey did you ping me and then Ping Zexx 5ms before combat? Unless you did how can you know our link speed well enough to make your point valid? I know I have one of the fastest links to the mud, being >40 ms 85+% of the time, whereas zexx connects from much slower russian link. With that in mind your comments really dont matter very much without adressing link speed since if he was in 300+ms ranger there is _no_ way that he beats my link with how much time it took for me to re-enter room and bash him
  13. Derek11 · 6 Jul 2005
    Now I haven't talked to Zexx in a couple of years but since when does he live in Russia?
  14. ZexxFable · 6 Jul 2005
    Ok, Patrick I really appreciate what you said. You have ruled me more than once and I am honored by your unbiased judgement calls/reasoning on what could have happened. I totally agree with you on Deoph being a stupid dick that I knew last wipe and the wipe before that, who couldn't get between towns by himself. On another note, this is how it all went down: True, my Russia link is not so great but; I had dirs spammed already, Thyrfing gt'd that three BSP's had logged .5secs before the hit occured. Once the hit had occured I was lagged from the dirs, was not rescued, was bashed .5secs after this had occured, recited recall, but was destroyed all too soon. They did a lot of dam, and I don't have a lot of HP's, so yeah, not so hard on the destruction of Zexx. You might say, hey Zexx you're an idiot for risking your life while BSP's may or may not be on, but you know what? I don't give a fuck, I'm here to have some fun, and I obviously had NO gear. Had I had more gear that was worth anything either time I died, there would have been more caution...maybe. MUD is for fun and risk, hell even life is for that, call me an idiot but its all just a mere hobby for some new experiences and fun/risk, sorry all you 'hardcores' out there. When you're pk'd you learn, and you show others what not to do, like some others put it hee heeeee.
  15. Brafu · 6 Jul 2005
    My main point is that you had no reason to open your mouth and flame me for reading a log and then posting a comment based on what I read. But Im sorry if it really bothers you that people don't know how "elite" you link is because we assumed from what we read in the log that zexx just sucks and wasn't smart enough to recall right away.

    Maybe in the future you could ask people to time stamp their logs so we will be able to see down to the exact second when something happens so we will never again make such a horrible mistake. Then nothing will ever again be taken away from your "elite" link and triggers.
  16. patrick · 6 Jul 2005
    Brafu: I dont see how what you said detracts from my point at all. Thanks for reinforcing my point that people not present in the instance of battle are clueless to the minutia of what actually happened
  17. Andr3as · 6 Jul 2005
    "Zexx, being the underprivledged European that he is,"

    ...... this just shows how some americans view the world.

    GO TEAM AMERICA!

    obi better not be goatie.. or im gonna go KICK SOME AUSSIE ASS!@!@
  19. psychoDAD · 6 Jul 2005
    2 more things:

    1) anyone that's been ruled by patrick should be ashamed of themselves.

    2) derek wants chris's cock.


  20. psychoDAD · 6 Jul 2005
    and my god. after reading these posts. i think for the first time ive ever noticed. patrick has a good point.

    the rookies and nobodys need to SHUT THE FUCK UP when commenting on pk.... because they DO NOT KNOW FUCKING SHIT ABOUT IT
  21. Derek11 · 6 Jul 2005
    Who is physchodad again? Oh that's right no one knows.

  24. Brafu · 6 Jul 2005
    You have to be one of the most pathetic people on this mud. You are getting pissed because people didn't give your fast link and triggers enough credit in a REALLY pathetic pk?? Do you really expect ANYONE to give you any props for being able to write a simple trigger and then running around the mud hoping some enemy sets one off?? Why don't you try to rely on your reflex's for a change instead of being a no skill newbie who probably couldn't pk a lvl 4 without all the proper triggers in place to jump em after they enter the nook.

    PS. Yes, I hate fools who brag about having a fast link and good triggers after they pk someone 4 on 1.
  25. deoph · 7 Jul 2005
    selfquote for patrick who can't read i guess:

    was zexx held? how did he not see you walk by and recall?

    Those are questions i was asking. What happened was what i wanted to know. There are a few logs of me on various chars including one with this name if you look around. Nothing special even one death but i certainly had no chance to recall cuz i did hit my alias. I don't claim to have elite pk skills but I can recall, and would have. I can see from the log most of what happened and if he was trying to hold then he deserves critisism.

    zexx what the fuck ever you died to dale now i have escaped his lame pk attempts on more then one occasion and i have NEVER fallen prey to a guard trap.

    I have known towns since my first wipe thanks. All of them. If you were trying to paint me more newbish then you I would have tried something that at least sounded plausible. If i was soloing during bsd time (And warring them) I would have had a recall trigger set up whatever patricks connection speed it was still limited by the speed of human thought, which all you had to realize was one thing:recall time. He had to realize shit passed him which way oh north, then go north, then the connection speed would come into play.

    Psychodad, I've been all varieties of pk from the ambush to the ambushee to the big clan battle to the 2 on 1 to the 1 on 1 to the 1 on 2. How much experience is ok for you? Certainly I am a rookie to some but i do know how to recall and not get guard whacked.
  26. deoph · 7 Jul 2005
    And what is armchair quarterbacking every log? I say what was wrong why didn't you recall in one log suddenly I am armchair quarterbacking? If you read my previous posts of the same day.... I asked suf not to post logs with no deaths as was his rule. I realize someone probably approved thier own log there though. And then I said please post pov of the actually killer, which was done so I am contented there. This is not exactly telling people how to pk. Apparently I need 5 years in wild or bsd before I ask: "why didn't you recall zexx?" which is not a very good quarterback as that is an interrogative not command, advice or direction. Thanks.
  27. patrick · 7 Jul 2005
    Brafu I retract my comment about you making kids. You should not reproduce. Ever. If I ever meet you in real life I shall punch you in the teeth.
  28. Brafu · 7 Jul 2005
    I would welcome a chance to see you put behind bars for assult. I wonder how many people in prison will be impressed with your fast link and triggers?
  29. Chris C · 7 Jul 2005
    little do you know, Pat is no stranger to life behind bars!!!
  30. Mike R. · 7 Jul 2005
    reguardless of link speed etc, i'll be the first one to say that pk happens a hell of a lot faster than what you read on these pages. just because it looks like he could have recalled on suf page doesn't mean he had enough time to see the situation, comprehend it and make an action before he was bashed. just because someone isn't lagged from some skill, magic, bad link etc doesn't mean they had enough time to escape :P

    I know I have one of the fastest links to the mud, being >40 ms 85+% of the time...

    The 1-15% of the time when your link jumps from 20ms to around 800 is a real killer though. :/


    Link really isn't too much of an issue though. Even if you spam, Arctic can only process 4*(?) commands per second, meaning if someone enters the target's room, then goes e, then w then bashes, each of those 3 comands have a delay.

    People are starting to analyze pks way too much. Whatever happened to just enjoying a log, or flaming it? :P

    * It's a 250ms delay on another MUD, forget what arctic's is, but it feels around the same.
