It's starting to get dull.. Especially how much they just love telling me I suck, after failing to kill me.. I can't wait until the day I die, then I must REALLY suck.
then i'm setting up a proxy to do it in MM at the same time.
Sunflash that's the greatest Idea i've ever heard. I'm using one of my 15,000 characters to exactly that from now on.

Compare that to the true moral FRs who get a freebie password and walk right through the Black Gate despite their mass murderer alignment.
... Some of us true morals use the tunnel.
gooo fuck yourself!
And you smell like old poo Kelevra :(
this doesn't change the fact that azhag smells like a fucking herkie shit
We can only hope something misfortunate happens.
Because, like, he's going to..like..you know..Ivy League and shit..right?
If he isn't lying about it all then he's going to drop out during his first year because he can't handle it.
Yoana, nobody cares what you're going to do. Come back when you've done it.
The point is that hyperbole is not a good thing. You also seem to go above and beyond to let everyone know what university you're going to. Why? Need us logs page randoms to respect you now after years of being mocked for pretending to be a girl in an online role-playing game?
I turned MIT down. Like 95% I'm going to Princeton, though.
You're going to Cambridge and you're using a soup kitchen as an analogy for a free online game? That it's a not for profit organisation is where the similarity ends.
Ok, that last comment went too far. I could give an academic argument about why it violates rules 9, but I shouldn't have to.
(Refers to a deleted comment)
It's funny, you're like the Jews in germany during WWII, and I'm like the Jew who escaped to Britain. Enjoy.
it's akin to a soup kitchen banning a retarded transexual from masturbating in the corner
well thankfully for both you and us you dont play anymore. if their attitude drives away people like you then it is a good thing for the mud
That's actually bullshit. If I run a soup kitchen do I have the right to make people lick my feet to get food? No, that's not a soup kitchen anymore. T2t is difficult to run I'm sure and I used to greatly appreciate admins, but when they started thinking like you do kharaan, problems start.
word hirgail. word. if i was an admin i would just hardban every person that whines about admin and i mean taht
The admins have no responsibilities to you whatsoever. You just imagine they do. They are all volunteers. None of them get paid. They owe you nothing.
BTW, to reiterate:
The admin have responsibility towards the playerbase because we have invested so many months of our lives into their creation (doesn't matter whether we pay for it or not).

Cruice: The MM shopkeeper was buffed directly in response to my nonstop bitching that Kadar was the only shop in Near Harad, now that I recall. Some guy whose named started with a T was killing the shopkeeper over and over and over. He claimed it was some kind of RP to defend frees from the golding of ERs and would just jump the Kadar shopkeeper, and if attacked run the 10 or 15 rooms to unstoppable safety from ER retaliation in Pelargir like the coward shitfuck pussy he was. I law reported him repeatedly for harassing the entire community, since he was basically completely deleting the ability of ERs to make gold and abusing Pelargir mechanics to make himself invincible to any PK that wouldn't net him enormous amounts of fines and completely reinforce his blockade on ER golding and instead of punishing him or implementing some kind of solution, they buffed MM shop (Nearly what, 100? rooms away from Kadar and even more inconvenient for ERs) to provide an easy fix. I think it was Osse who buffed it, he's usually the one who responds to my nonstop whining with a bandaid fix to sate my tears.
I can't remember that T guy's name, just that he was an outrageous piece of shit who probably had an elephant cock shoved down his throat as a child and feels like taking out his unending anguish and pain on the people around him in a desperate attempt to validate the pain he suffered as a wittle shitbag.
For reasons that I can't explain in public, I severely dislike that the Pelargir shopkeepers give as good prices as they do.
You have to traverse a big pile of wreckage to get into MM. While a horse might be able to do that there is no way a wagon could. Not unless you found a way to clear the road first.
I don't think allowing a wagon to go to MM shop is making them more powerful.
Sunflash: ERs don't have a shop comparable in price to Pelargir. Except for somewhere in FH, but it is a waste of time to go all the way out there. MM was recently boosted because ERs don't have any other good priced shop other than Kadar. So if it was killed an ER would have to sell in osgiliath or outpost and take a huge cut in profit, or go to DG or Far Harad. Which those are pretty out of the way for someone who is in a golding routine.
I dunno. Wagons are pretty incredible as is; I'm not sure that making them more powerful would be a benefit. Probably just me, though.
Also, the inability of wagons to traverse the wreckage sounds like a massive bullshit bug that deserves to be fixed, considering horses /can/ traverse afaik (At least while mounted) and I doubt Valinor has anything more fucking important to do, probably too busy handing out fucking warnings for people cussing on the comm to do something reasonable like fix wagons.
Well, I sold in Kadar with a wagon, but someone told me recently that the MM shop's new prices are comparable to Combe or Pelargir, so I tossed that in as an example, since Kadar shop's prices were more like fucking Adornas or Vern.
Sunflash, the kadar shop has the same prices as the MM shop, and you can't sell your wagon in the MM shop because it can't traverse the wreckage. Even with a horse.
But I do agree with you about ERs. I've always enjoyed them a lot more than FRs.
On the other hand, Valinor does everything it can to make this shitbag game as unplayable as possible by restricting the shit out of every move you make and every word you say, and doing it on a completely subjective and biased basis.
My ER is the only excuse I might have to ever play this game again, because it was genuinely fun, and aside from lacking access to West Arda (who gives a shit about bree?) I could do nearly anything I wanted, and since I didn't kill in Mordor, had ridiculously free movement inside. As an ER, I was able to gold in Linhir just like an FR, sell in MM with a wagon for comparable prices to Pelargir, and use healers in MM, Osg, Kadar, Galenwaith, that crone chick in Ithilien, CU, BD healers, Narchost, literally like a dozen readily available healers for an ER in the Near Harad/Mordor/Ithilien, which means you can power through almost anything. Want to solo Captain's cutlass with a BHBS? Go for it, there's enough healing. Flets, Linhir, gridmons, quest camps in Harondor and Near Harad, there's tons and tons of opportunities to make gold to finance anything I want to do, and uruk warriors are overwhelmingly powerful. Frankly, it's got all the amenities of an FR with less competition for the quests and healers, I think it's a lot more fun. Probably the only downside if how difficult it can be to party with my FR friends, since I could give 2 shits about RP and partying with FRs doesn't bug me in the slightest.
Also, Formid. Leveling an ER was more fun when auctions weren't linked. If you put something up at Alazif it was locked to just low level bidders. It enabled you to auction equipment for 50 gold to help out new players. I used to do that all the time. These days if you try it some level 20 with his finger in his nose will bid on it for the 50 gold profit at shop.
A servant that kills in Mordor cannot use the gate. Further, when they become a murderer in Mordor, a system message is broadcasted to all ERs stating that that player is a traitor.
Compare that to the true moral FRs who get a freebie password and walk right through the Black Gate despite their mass murderer alignment.
My perception, servants are mostly power players wanting the best access to everything and still being able to walk into mordor and kill stuff without gate passwords etc. I mean imagine if they make being a servant hard again like reduced zone/non west arda?
Levelling an ER (back when I did it originally) was a MUCH nicer prospect, even with much more activity in FH/NH. I'm not talking about the greater amount of mobs or anything, but the community around the ER's.
I came from the FR side and was used to logging off with enough gold to get myself an auction weapon, on the ER side I asked around on the comm and was usually given a decent weapon within about 5 minutes of asking (given, not sold), tbh I took that attitude and did it myself in turn.
These days there's hardly anything at auction usually. People have been accusing me of auctioning crap or just storing gold at the AH, I will say that well over half the stuff I auction sells (some of the hide shields don't, but the rest usually do), so there is certainly a market for stuff at the AH.
There aren't many benefits ERs have over servants. Having access to FH as a safe region is the only one I can think of, and these days guild halls serve the same purpose.
I always found ERs distinctly unpleasant to play in every respect. Servants were pretty decent, though no contest with FRs.
Though, that said, I fully acknowledge that I'm biased in my assessment and I respect Formid's differing opinion.
Probably has something to do with the fact that I despise FH, dislike every desc in the entirety of NH and am nonplussed by anything in Umbar.
Exactly Formid, but ask yourself, how many serving players are there? Even within GB I notice several servants instead of a pure or near pure ER class.
Far Harad is almost a ghost town, so a single ER can make an ok living there (with 2 or more though it's not worth it, all removing packmobs did is make levelling an ER 3 times longer and 5 times more repetetive/boring).
Near Harad/Harondor have some damn nice golding quests and also a few other gridmobs which are decent gold. As a necro I can make a few thousand an hour pretty easily, plus auctioning the items I get is pretty good gold. Likewise though if you tripled the number of ER's on at any one time it'd be a lot tougher.
ive never played an ER. but off the top of my head id say since the ratio is somewhere at a made up average of 1 ER to every 5 FRs i would assume that it's probably much easier to gold as an ER due simply to a lack of competition. insert the same philosophy for gearing and uniques etc and that's why im assuming that if you had good quest knowledge, like perhaps the mud code it would be beneficial to be an Er. but like i said ive never played one so maybe i am a totally off base
Kharaan, they aren't ER's for RP reasons. That should clear up everything.
[...] Cruice seems okay to me. I don't care much for attempt logs (esp not 2mans or solos) unless they end unexpectedly somehow. That's just me though, nevermind the bollocks [...]
srsly though why is an ER partying with mordor mass murderers? why is cruice trying to kill filil and not daeril?
Well Etrius, the ainur are playing a game too. With us.
We are a social experiment and whatever ive seen the last few years is just 'why dont we do this and that and see what happens'.
But since we are not paying any money for it, we will just take what we get.
I'd wish for peace
A lot of you need to appreciate that Valinor policy, on some if not all issues, is cyclical and extremist in nature. Within the space of five or six years we went from the PK free-for-all battlepoint system to the implementation of a PK flag. Within the space of half that, we went from a system where anybody with limited resources and their best friend could make their own guild to one which was specifically designed to kill as many guilds as possible through hiked-up maintenance costs and activity requirements. I realize that some of this was down to staffing changes, but the bottom line is that if enough people moan about something then an administration will listen, but unfortunately their responses are often kneejerk and ill-considered. All I can say is that some of you really ought to be careful what you wish for.
I'm aware of that, Brubaker, but activity requirements as we knew them were the administration's response to the perceived tumult of guilds. A cruel and unhappy solution to a problem of their own making. I'm content to let any number of silly guilds with passé themes run around if that's what it takes to preserve something which makes a lot of older players happy.
Pretty sure Draimon didn't forget Durbs at all and just doesn't ever want it in his list.
there are no activity requirments
I'm willing to tolerate an excess of guilds if it means no activity requirements.
Solid posts, Draimon..
And for the record, I was gone for 6,5 years :-)
Don't forget the Durbs. They actually have a really strict theme, and follow it. Akhazir doesn't mess around!
/Apeture
I fail to see the nonsense there, Draimon!
this concludes installment 137 of the draimon rants nonsensically on the log page.
and it's pretty silly to say filil is no good. guy has been gone for i think at least 4 years and comes back to a totally different mud with 1/4 the playerbase, a totally different map, totally different healing, totally different style of players, no more fade etc. cruice and his friendos have adequate technical skills, they know the aliases, the dirs, where to gold etc and that's great, but they for the most part lack any style any great ideas, any charisma. they are content to sit on the side with an overwhelming majority of players, they are content to char hop and multiplay, content to camo when they find themselves locked up and skype to every RL friend they know to get them to log on and unlock the door or in viker's case probably just log onto his brother's char and do it himself. the game looked simple back when filil was doing most of his owning because by now the things he did have been done for 10 years at least. just like now for some players it's simple to try to cliff someone, or to take them on morgul road or whatever. it is simple NOW because of the others who came before who learned how to best do this or that. someone has to come up with those ideas, someone has to see that thing that can be turned into a great PK tool. it's great and all to have a maxed bank and be abl eto max your chars to 22 in 6 days and all that really neat stuff but until cruice and his gang of cronies decide to play the game a bit more fairly and maybe at least attempt to do something positive for the game rather than do whatever makes them giggle RL they will remain disliked and disrespected by the majority of this MUD that dies everyday.
basically, before i go on a 3 page rant refreshing the same ideas that i provide in every rant, i guess i mean to say disband every guild but bkd amruin either valacirca or galadhrim, koda, sou, cou, beornings maybe, and thats about it that i can think of without putting forth too much effort. im sorry a bunch of retards out there got the idea that they should totally make a guild and im sorry they wasted their whole careers founding shitty guilds but that's what happens sometimes. like if i spent my whole life RL building a castle made of fucking human feces i wouldn't expect people to think it was ok and cool just because i wasted all my time and resources to do so. because in the end it's still just a castle made of human feces. maybe then we can avoid shit like themeless guilds with players who spit in the face of any type of RP and bend the MP rules to the fullest point simply for the sake of all having an armoury to share and a gh to idle in. make guilds a thing where it's hard to get in and requires an effort to do something besides share an armoury. take these homoshit themeless guilds and disband them and hardban their GM, because apparently that makes a bunch of sense.
I don't think anybody either side of post-pk shit-talking ever comes across especially well.
Tire... I think this is pretty clear, that it's all a joke, right?:P We're fighting alternative egos. Nobody takes it seriously. I hope:P
HA-HA-HA, HATS DOWN TO FILIL
Yes, Lucky, I do. Regardless of whether you believe the reading which everyone -except- Cruice performed of the contents of this log, I find an alternative reading (which is more generous to Cruice) equally plausible.
Why is it so important to _prove_ that a person is an ass? I mean, if someone really is an ass, it shouldn't really require anyone to point it out or defend it, right?
Analogy: It's like if Cecil came on here right now and was like 'lulz guys, just kidding about the threats and all. WAS NOT BEING SERIOUS'.
I'm going to bed now.
Finally you're starting to get it Shabba.
And yes, Lobo is right.
Whether or not you are being serious is of no relevance, because your arguments don't make any sense either way.
Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win...you're still a fucking retard.
See, you keep sayng I'm taking things serious. When you still haven't realized how very not serious I am.
Cry some more please bitch.
*FACEPALM
Example: Aunt says to boy, 'You look just like your father when he was young!'. Boy's friend says to boy jokingly, 'Better get off that path before it's too late!'. Do you get it now? Boy's friend was joking about the kid ending up like his father with his father's personality? This is how you properly not be serious and is quite the common statement people sometimes use to poke a bit of fun. So. Goddamn. Stupid.
Oh look, the classic 'You replied, you care!' argument. Yes, I routinely refresh certain pages when I am bored and surfing the net. I saw the stupid comments and I posted a quick reply. Yay.
Just stop talking, you just keep making yourself look more stupid.
it's mordor, shitbag?
'better get off this path before it's too late.' Maybe you recently developed a brain tumor that halted your ability to think correctly, or even perform simple tasks like remembering what you wrote. Either way, that sounds a lot like telling me I'm doing something wrong.
As for not caring about the comments. You replied awfully fast, and replied directly to them. Good job not caring. I'd hate to see if you actually did care. You'd probably be like Quiauh, you better get off this path before it's too late.
By the way, I suppose it's only fair to point out to you that not everything is supposed to be taken literally, for fucks sake. Me pointing out how you said something that sounds like something Quiauh would definitely say is not me telling you how you are running your life wrong. God you are stupid sometimes.
Lets see, two more posts no one cares about.
Oh and Filil, I already killed you dumbass. Keep acting like you've never died.
Shabba, your constant constant attempts to try and explain to me how I am somehow running my life wrong, really is ridiculously retarded.
1. This is a game, so yes there is room for talking senseless.
2. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHINEY ASS BITCH.
Have a nice day. : )
I'm still the best player ever.
Because 'talking senseless' is so much fun, right? I suppose all shit talk is just some elaborate inside joke that everyone is in on. Like I said, you couldn't come up with a decent argument for the life of you.
'It's ok little man. Just admit you're scared.' That sounds awfully like Quiauh, better get off this path before it's too late.
Cruice is obviously just lying to try and not make himself look bad
LOL, man I can't even intentionally talk senseless to someone without them flipping out, posting logs about it, and thinking I'm serious.
Yes, my shit talking is entirely based on repeating the word scared, and saying 'your point?' when it obviously doesn't make sense. You people are ridiculous. Nothing can be a joke if it's said by a Herk. It's always taking serious to the bone, and if they try to justify they weren't serious, they are obviously just lying to try and not make themselves look bad.
It looks like Filil forgot a few tells he sent me, but I don't care enough to repeat them.
Just for the record, I triggered that break but he was gone when I pounded. *shrug*
i just read it now. pathetic, cruice... not the attempt itself, but the talk after.
I have rated this log
Oops, nvm...
Westar has read this log.
Hellflame vs Alkath = Classic Herk.
herks think they are good?.. think again.
Care to try and keep separating Cru-Cru from that herkie label, Tire?
Cruice tells you: You were never good.
Cruice tells you: mediocre in fact.
You tell Cruice: and yet you seem unable to kill me
Cruice tells you: your point?
This is like the follow-up to Alkath killing Hellflame:
H: Why'd you pk me?
A: You PK'ed a guildmate, you had to see this coming.
H: Cry some more?
Hah, i allways love when people fail to kill someone (often lower level or something) and tell the target how much they suck. It's like hitting yourself in the face with a frying pan... eh... Or something?
I wish i remembered to tell Rhakyrh how much he sucked and was a newb when i was in on a failing 54-man bang on him. :) *giggle*
It's not like people knew what they were doing when they gave him a legend or anything, nope.
I like how Cruice is talking shit, like he has any idea about Filil, I reckon him and his friends were about the age of potty training when players like Devon and I started playing here :P
Cruice would be decent if he didn't try to argue or shit talk. He's so bad at it that doing it just makes him look like an idiot.
