> Why did I take pity on Dernwyn? I don't have to logs, but Empires who were there back me up on this.

> First, we caught Dernwyn in Udgaard. I, duergar shaman in Empire, taunted the rager. (Usually quaffing potions and laughing about it do piss 'em off) He didn't like it, so he attacked me. I beat him senseless and he took off running, but not before I plagued him twice.

> He was gushing, I was at what, small scratches. I could've finished him off so easily. He was half naked, skilled, but overmatched. RP'ing the royal imperial, I informed Golmagus that a crime has been committed in Udgaard. My allegation levied against Dernwyn.

> I sat in Udgaard for 10 minutes waiting for Golmagus to haul his lich ass up here with another what's his name Arbie A-P with him. He judged the case, looked over the evidence and testimonies, while Dernwyn sat there twitching with plague, ending with a flag on Dernwyn.

> Dernwyn took off running (at gushing from my fight and not really recovering at all), somehow got away from Golmagus's guards, host of cityguards in Udgaard, and was running straight down the mountainous regions south of Udgaard.

> I stepped out south gate of Udgaard, summoned Dernwyn, took a look at him, saw he was convulsing, no mvs (b/c of plague and running), I chuckled, sat down, and discussed with him about taking the bloodoath. (All the while Golmagus and what's his name A-P Arbie were running around foothills or whatever looking for him)

> He shook his head, told me no. So we roused our sleeping A-P companion in Udgaard, who came out running and killed him just as Dernwyn scratched himself and is mortally wounded and will die if unaided. (for the last kill on unholy blessing of course)

> Then Golmagus came, guard looted, we laughed and took off.

> An hour later I guess, Empire cb was all over about Ragers getting a big group coming up to retrieve their head back.

> Stepping south into Imperial city, we threw up our Centurions, prepared our traps and sat down and had a nice chat with an eye out for PK's and raiders.

> Ayame and Dernwyn peeked in a couple times, I tried to summon Ayame but failed (Ayame hero I was like lvl 43 or something). So we summoned Dernwyn.

> He took off running, right into a pair of Cents, got jacked, I blinded poisoned weakened plagued, (you know, the shaman works) on the poor slob, then my groupmate, an A-P said oh can I please cleave him?

> I chuckled and said knock yourself out. That was when Dernwyn twitched from poison/plague, so he said ahh hell I'll go for straight murder.

> We killed him so fast I don't think he lasted a round. So fast I didn't even get to hit him with autoassist up.

> It was sick, sad, pathetic, you know it.

> ** As far as my dying to Dernwyn is concerned. Why don't you ask him Sacer, exactly -how- did he kill me.

>
> I will admit, I do play CF with my friends. I do think though, that we ruin the game far far far FAR less than the aforementioned 3. For us it's like mirc on CF with a twist of mixture of RP, EQ, and adventure.

> Finding infravision eye neck thingy was cool.
> Finding permi stone skin neck thingy was cool.
> I still remember telling your group, 'Doh! I can't get in the Tower of Trothon because I can't swim!!??' funny.
> Getting hellfire sword from hell was cool.
> Being there and watching it got melted by Cthulu wasn't cool.

> But anyway, I hate and absolutely hate people who just kill people for the hell of it over and over and over and OVER. We go PK after people like that. Which is why none of our chars ever really made it to the top 20 PK list.

> I believe it was Arolin who said something akin to this, and I will repeat it in a different way. There comes a time when you are confident enough in your mudding abilities on CF, from knowledge in areas, shrines, religions, equipments, etc. etc., that I believe, I'm capable of playing a character that gets killed like maybe once or none in his entire life time.

> I still remember how I befriended someone by having them trying to PK me.

> Hey I'm in waste of nonveil.
> Ok brt.

> Hey where did you go? You were there a second ago.

> I'm in tower of trothon.
> Ok brt.

> Hey hell where did you go?
> Thar Acacia? =)

> *grumble* Ok brt.

> Damn it where did you go?

> The list goes on and on.

> I'll never forget the lesson a teacher in PK taught me (Vilnius Schoolmaster of Underdark, remember him?), chase him around Underdark for an hour or two and you'll realize just how lost you are in chasing someone who doesn't want to be found.

> As far as role playing goes, I always role play my characters. What else is there? For PK, a text PK is kinda lame. I'd go play Quake 2 if I just want to PK people, and it looks prettier with flying guts and gores.

> I'm just peeved the peanut crew accuses me of cabal hopping when *ahem* in the winning cabal was older than Gheron. Saw first hand how boring and stupid nightgaunt is, decided not to use it or play it on Empires, and decided not to fight against it either.

> Roll up a newbie, start a new. I say =)

> Going back to PK, I'm sure you won't recognize Gheron on the top 20 PK list. He probably PK'd less than 1/3 of what Irazhul or Mishakar killed.

> Frankly I find it more fun getting stuck in plummeting down the mountain and finding an item and go, 'oohh, so this thing can be refilled with wines too instead of water? never runs out!? NEAT!!' a lot better than making the game hell on the less experienced.

> As far as threatening other people's characters. I care to remind you Sacer. It was that idiot BB gun who started it first, then there was all the rumors insinuations blah blah blah peanut crew. I got sick and tired and fed up with it, I just go fine you all idiots want to lay it all on the table fine let's go come on.

> Besides, I don't threaten people's chars ooc. I do it in the game. I assassinate you in the game. I kill you, I murder you, until I see blah is DEAD!! If I'm really pissed about a char, I'll even drum up a newbie dedicated to his demise. Why the hell not.

> I find that a lot easier to deal with and work with the PK environment, than all the muckracking that flies around on the log board on other people's characters.

> On the side note, I know and have noticed nightgaunts being toned down. I have to say imms have done a very good job in designing CF, but I've noticed that CF is really for elites.

> I tried to introduce couple people who expressed interest in what I do (being friends they are curious on how I spent my time), and to be honest, they were right. Some people on CF are just plain assholes.

> CF is not newbie friendly. I thought it was a nice tune to raise PK level to 11 instead of 10k xp, but somehow I think the 'smallness' of CF somehow contributed to it being less popular because, there's only so many places you can go and PK's hangs out in the more common areas.

> If anything, I'd like to see more and bigger newbie areas, separate the hometowns even further up. Have a zone for learning (experiences for leveling), and many more others for PK and quests.

> In comparison with other muds, (I should give credit to Medievia where it's due) hometowns based on race, alignment, ethos, and surrounds it with tons of expanse learning curve areas for newbies. Evil towns are the same. Eventually the good and the evil clash, giving more variety in not only clan raiding, but also 'city raiding'. Imagine a ton of drow elves coming up from underdark and lays a siege on Galadon.

> I think you guys have it in the right step in banning all paladins from Udgaard. Keep going with it, see where the idea leads you.

> As far as areas are concerned, CF might want to open area coding to non imms, and have the imps review them and make modificatiosn necessary before implementation. That would give CF a more variety pack in areas, as well as freeing the newbie hero imms in helping with administration and keeping the rules straight, so mid ranked imms can run quests like mad.

> That's my two cents. Watch me run like the winds, riding atop my Frank steed, charging ahead with a warcry, 'Death to all infidels!! On with the Crusade!!'

> P.S. The last line was from playing Age of Kings. =)
