I always wonder about entropy people who pick a side and fight for it with the dedication of a navy seal. At some point you decided that battle=friend and master=enemy, and you never deviate. In fact, you have become pretty much the most predictable person in the game, with the exception of sokolov, of course.
But fine, your brand of chaos is to always fight for the same small group of people against the same small group of people -- people who might themselves like order, but who do not attempt to foist it on anyone else, so how you rationalized making them a priority rather than, say, battleragers, who go out of their way to impose their view of how the world should be on others, I dont understand -- but when you go so far as to use your powers to summon people to a waiting posse of battleragers, I just dont see how you can think making some slightly humorous quip will change anything. Nobody cares if you brush your teeth or kick puppies. What Nallokin did to you was fine. You deserved it. Your little quip tried to make you look better by self deprecation, but in reality it was referring to your rl person, which is obviously separate, I hope, from Septach.

> As an aside, of course we all know it sucks to lose a con that quick, and while there's a thrill of pking like that, there is also the pang of guilt having done it, like Nallokin said. But killing septach twice in a relatively short period of time is nothing that septach wouldn't do himself -- and has tried to do.
> > Since you bring it up, yes. And a much larger grace period than Masters have occassionaly been granted when there are more villagers than Masters, and they have the Orb. And yes, he should have been ready to go. How many of the "elite" players are constantly ragging on people for not being fully equipped by the time they're unghosted? I can do it, and I certainly don't consider myself elite. Hell, I probably only know 10% of the quests in the game, and only one of the special wands.

Not for people who post under "anonymous" nicknames ('A villager' and 'A master', for example) with vaguely witty and pitifully scathing comments. Perhaps other people agree with you and I'm a total ass for killing him twice (the only two times I've _ever_ killed him), and perhaps not. Either way, I don't really care. But, I'll tell you what... I'll let you know when I play the game for the purpose of pleasing everyone else, rather than trying to have fun myself and drawing the line at certain things.

I really don't remember, I wasn't paying much attention to that debate as I was playing a Troupe at the time, but again... In-character, I had every reason to kill him until his weakly shuddering lungs could no longer draw breath. Instead, I used my OOC feelings to stop at two deaths. Why doesn't anyone yell at me for using OOC knowledge? Why am I now getting bitched at for playing the role I chose? Would everyone bitch and moan if, say, Gathen was killed repeatedly for being Anathema? Or if Agorinth constantly hounded some Warder? I rather doubt it. They would say, "Oh, well, that's all part of the role." Well, it is in this case as well and I broke that role by basically calling off the attack.
