Logged During Fight

Okay, I had to go from the crypt. I was running from the mummies. But, then I got some pop up. When I returned I was like dying from bein attacked by 4 mummies. I quickly logged. Is this alright? I mean I had a pop-up so is this wrong?

A pop up..get an anti-spyware/adware, pop ups will ruin your pc.

well, i guess it is against the rules to log out during a fight

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 1:47 am

I think that fits in the technical difficulty section, like if someone gets disconnected during a fight or something.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 1:48 am

Hrm..logging out in a fight agaisnt a player is totally forbidden and a bad behaviour, but logging out in a fight against NPCs is acceptable if no player watches..I guess, as long as you dont do it too often.

Theres no rule against it, but its frowned apon. Luckily rp has improved since the "elaralith" days enough not to warrant that usually.

Midrusio was running from Johnny Lant (after a duel, which he had escaped from) and hid in the shadow of the library's building after jumping and logged.

There. I had to say it.

Well if I run away from a player I hide somewhere, wait for about 10 minutes and if they've still not found me and I've got nothing else to do ingame or something TO do OOC I'll log.

If you keep logging out when losing fights against other players, there is the chance that a Seer or Gamemaster will come and talk to you.

The only time I ever log during a PVP fight is when they attack without any RP. Is it ok to do that?

Gildon · Post by **Gildon** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 12:49 pm

You shouldn't log when they attack for a reason, like you not agreeing to hand over your things when a robber is clearly going to chop you down if you don't. -.- It doesn't matter if they don't #me chops at you. They have a reason and there is no need to #me it.

Ah, well it was my Spy Sweeper software. It gave a pop-up telling the definitions were updated. Another time anti-virus and fire wall pop-uped to but I was in town. Anyway, i logged back on because i did not want to break the rules I sneaked away from 6 mummies with like a boy-nailsized health. Weird huh?

Also, Spy Sweeper sweeps adware.

Ha, that is untrue!
After your ongoing forced RP (:P) I jumped off the roof and ran to the eastern town gate (I also keep an eye on running outside the library's eastern "shadows"...). There I logged out!

Johnny Lant just did not follow me (maybe because you were !gm-ing?

)

Gildon · Post by **Gildon** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 4:25 pm

One should not be able to run after jumping from a roof, but even then, it seems like PO JL was using forced rp from what you say, so it is rather fair.

Should still log out somewhere farther when someone chases you, its a little unfair that he could not have had a second chance to find you, log out a few distances from the town when it happens.

But anyway it dosent seem to be agaisnt the rules to log out during a fight, well it is but no one enforces it

, the complaints about it does not seem to be read.

Miklorius · Post by **Miklorius** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 4:40 pm

I am against logging out while fighting another character or when in sight of others.
But in this case there is also the issue that you can't run away (and if there is no RP agreement how to play the situation the chase will go on forever... And there was some time to find my trail again).

Hmm? Its VERY easy to loose someone in illarion if you use your brain a little, maybe I can show you one day.

You know what would fix alot of annying problems? Get rid of jumping off the damn roof. I can't tell you how often thats abused.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 5:04 pm

Agree, and someome jumping off a roof should not just run away like nothing happened..

You can do some funny things with line of sight. Zig-zagging around trees never hurts when you're running away.

Arr Swish you got to keep down the questions man.

You have not been playing very long but just examin what other players do to play etc before asking anything. Even this question was not neccessary, If it was a one off and not entirely your fault then there is no need to post it. Gm's won't complain, and won't exactly scan your logs endlessly for no reason.

And lots of ooc ig about nothing important can get annoying too

Like, asking about my chars.

Just keep it cool man. You learn everything eventually.

I think you mean "escape someone":P, but anyway:
It would be a pleasure to see a demonstration how Arameh is escaping with the power of LOS

Why do you all say loose, and not lose?

I'm just wondering, should anything be held against someone if they 'log' during a fight with a player and it isn't their fault. Say the game had technical difficulties or your internet cut you off. It isn't nessicarily your fault it happened, but it did. Would you schedual a rematch or just say you got knocked out?

Miklorius · Post by **Miklorius** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 7:39 pm

If the logged out player comes back immediately I will continue the RP/fight etc.
When he stayed offline I would count is as knock-out or something similar. Some players are playing loggin it/out while in sight with getting awake/falling asleep.
