Well, my whole point of the last two logs I have posted (each showing a death of Diarmuid) is to get back at him for accusing me of not playing anymore. I would refer to the forum post on this, but as it was purged, I'll just have to hope Diarmuid backs me up on this. He was complaining about ragers not playing anymore due to some perceived balance of power shift. He specifically named me, so I took umbrage with it.
So my last two logs have been an attempt to illustrate the error of his statement.
So we raid the other night. Cethern and I attack the golem while Ahmie fights Diarmuid. Ahmie jacks Diarmuid, and with his spell discern sees that Diarmuid is about to lose protective shield. We kill the golem, at which point, I ask Ahmie if he wishes us to come in...it isn't like Ahmie needs any help to kill Diarmuid. So the next thing that happens, Diarmuid walks into Cethern and me (we're both thirsting).
Now, according to Diarmuid, we need to either raid one at a time or if someone walks into us while we thirst, we are to let them go. Times of war not even considered...
The time before last when I killed him, I attacked while he was with Ulmorac, an elemental, and an archon. All of which could harm me.
No accolades to heap upon me?
You were jacked on the river while we fought the golem. During this, Shenan could have walked south right past us and worded you.
Unfortunately, the whimisical notion that 'Rager Courage' has become in the minds of CFers is equal to stupidity.
At some point, the view that ragers put personal honor above all else overcame common sense. According to you, if 3 ragers attacked 3 masters, and two masters died right off the bat, then two of the ragers should be breaking their necks to flee so the odds will even for each and every nanosecond.
