Dear Mr. Brendan Mason, Are you Oldra? Do you decide who does and does not deserve the growth of trees around the island? I doubt any of these can be answered in the affirmative, therefore it is safe to conclude that you have committed an offensive action against Northerot. I grow weary of seeing an...

Likewise with me. My character is primarily a fighter and herbalist, and cares more about his sword than anything else.

@ Grant Of course you can fight a demon if you can block it. I'm not talking about two shields, but one even. Even so, your character is a mage. Anyway, I couldn't find the post, but maybe somebody here remembers it. Dunthor (or some dwarf) was complaining that he couldn't fight demons after he was ...

@Grant I wouldn't call my character 'weak,' he has beaten two of these orcs before they magically became uber fighters in four days...and with many healing potions, he can manage to take down a fairly tough monster. The question is, *how* did such orcs manage to gain the ability to kill demons in su...

Actually, Muten Roshi one time attacked Elaralith with a war axe; with Elaralith's ungodly parry and two shield combo, of course, no war axe can pierce the armor. She thought some orcs were doing it, so she said "Stop human orcs, I hate having to parry you with my wand." Talk about BS cent...

@Ashburg I never said you powergamed, but I'm just listing what others told me. Another one of these bits that were told to me is that you used vases against monsters as you hit them with a war axe. Again, I'm not saying this is 100% true, I need a confirmation or something. I don't know the orc tha...

I don't know if everybody thinks this or not, but this is a thought/problem/whatever. Since I've came here, I've been pushing my character to his limits, without powergaming. I can kill all surface monsters, but no cave ones unfortunately. Anyway, in my last post, an orc that I beat in combat (who I...

I *am* a tad bit discouraged when orcs with numbers similar to mine can already survive easily through Drahken's castle, while one of them calls me a powergamer because I can kill skeletons *sigh*. I was lag killed by them anyway, so it's back to square one for me. :cry: I mean sheesh, I gain combat...

Good luck, it's beyond comical...so far, no matter how many laws she breaks, she roams this town care free.

But Fieps, America is a country that has history of war, politics, and in this day and age, an understanding of civil rights and all of that good complex stuff that wasn't used often in the Middle Ages...

If these are about the time of the Middle Ages, there is such thing as lawless land.

It's not like we have compound bows in these days, you know. I think the range is just fine, but now, it's a matter of getting the player to see who is attacking who. We still have a major sniping problem on our hands...

Then live outside the town Fooser, they seem to control the damn civilization anyway. The woods have always served as my true home.

Believe it or not, Galim, Lyrenzia cannot rule over merchant prices, people must choose to. If everything was priced the same, how the heck would a merchant get a profit? None of them have a special appeal if they sell the same wares for the same price. But why the hell am I here anyway, I'm no merc...

As Falk said, Keiken, realism isn't the point. If that argument held up, it would technically only be possible to have one depot in the game...

And what's with this new policy of forcing player interaction? Some characters such as mine aren't really "people-persons."

If somebody steals my meat, I will kill them. If somebody attempts to get in a verbal war with me, I will kill them. I don't care how small a reason is, common sense tells one not to do these things to avoid death: 1.) Stealing, no matter how small the item. 2.) Insulting, depending on the degree. 3...

Thank you Fieps for bringing that up. Hm...and you called me a bad roleplayer because of my OOC. So we're both wrong on this part? I understand your frustration Fieps, but it's obviously bad roleplaying if she uses OOC means to obtain IC information. Can't you do simple math Elaralith? There is no ...

I'm the whiner? So you mean, last night, the other five people including myself that were making good OOC points were ignored as you whined about "OOC spamming?" Sure... Anyway, quit dodging the point. If I find out IC, I'll be forced to tell you my name. For all I know, you could be makin...

Very cute Elaralith...first, you insist on using my name, in which NOBODY has ever heard of, in the game, and when I ask you OOC from who you heard it from, you ignore me and keep whining about how I was "OOC spamming." Spam is classified as useless jibberish that serves no point. When I w...

I do have a right to accuse you of that, considering there's no possible way for you to get my name when I don't even talk to people.

I was walking in town tonight, and a female elf told me to slow down because I was rushing. Then she started to say such things like I'll be dust in a matter of decades, and I'm passing life by too quickly. She asked if I was somebody, who I wasn't, and then she said "[my name] then." Oddl...

My irritating scenario... A particular orc came up to me as I was speaking with somebody, and pushed me around. I told him not to do that, or I would draw my blade. He claimed that if I did so, he would kill me. I asked for a duel, and he insisted that I approached first. I did so, and came out vict...

I agree, it's best to save as much firnis as possible. Idea, let's pray to Tanora. I certainly hope this would make this irritating drought end sooner, because of it, I can't train in arms. Regular food is scarce these days, and my body won't heal by eating due to my physical ailments. I must rely o...

It's simple.

If you want to roleplay a "ghost" or "spirit," then use the technical game functions to become one yourself. Faramier did something like this, and sacrificed his skills, although he became a good fighter afterwards.

Hmph...safety.

The entrances are far too narrow, and there have been rare instances where the invasions actually reached into the heart of the town. Practical safety is to bring down that wall, and focus funds on some sort of town guard.

I'm guessing random, if an old fart like Fedaykin has to put up with it too.

There is a healthy share of snooty newbies around this island, but there's also an equal share of old players that are very pompous, and judgemental rather than helpful. In the game, I sneered at a hobbit because he created a fire in the town. Then he types in #me wonders what the humans nose proble...

The question seemed sensible to me, as he may not be playing yet, and is curious if there's any way to raise certain things that can or cannot be raised.

And what's this about Hermie anyway?

Listen, Paulathan... You know what true 'spamming' is? Being a jerk to a newbie just because his board grammer, spelling, punctuation, etc. isn't up to excellent standards, and calling everybody a hypocrite that you dislike. It gets quite old, and you my friend, are THE biggest spammer I've ever see...

Hm... According to Moonsilver.de, lizardpeople don't generally do magic, although the few who do are very talented in it. This is why their intelligence should probably be about as high as hobbits...after all, it makes sense that lizardpeople who are usually very talented in magic are equally intell...

From my understanding, magic isn't the forte of such races as hobbits or dwarves; unfortunately, I've seen no change in the amount of battlemage hobbits and dwarves that I see each day, and there are not many who actually roleplay those races correctly. Normally, when I think hobbit, I think of a sm...
