Did I keep picking fights with bigger and bigger and smarter and smarter Empire groups because I sort of wanted them to kill me? Yes. Was I willing to just roll over and die? No. I picked lots of fights that should have killed me, that I knew as a player were stupid choices; however, I fought each of them to the best of my ability. Some came to a stalemate. I won the rest, until this one. Did I really think I could beat a group that big? Yes. I knew I could. I'd done it before. Did I really think I could beat a group with that many smart people (Remath, Haszak, Zendrac, Halifanse, etc) in it? No. Not a chance. I figured I'd probably bite it protections or not if more than one of those guys was at the mesa when I charged it (you can't see it in the log because of the summon, but I didn't have a single zombie) but I charged it anyway. It was just one of those days when you do things like that. I went to cast word and the space between typing it and when it went through is the log you see. Halifanse won that fight, if anyone did (if you don't see why, look closer) and I realized he had a few minutes before it 'physically' happened. Did I regret the whole stupid gesture immediately? Yep. But, ultimately I think it did fit the character, so I really can't complain.
. . .is tricky.
