> CF has the fiercest competition I beleive exists on a mud these days-these people have it down to a science and are going to beat on you sometimes no matter what you are wearing vs what they are wearing. When you die.... look at the log and try to find a way you could have escaped; if you first learn how to NOT DIE, then you may just learn how to kill one of these days. I've been playing this mud for five years and I get ROMPED very very often but I rarely die these days:) > Log everything, every death, every kill, every

guy who tells you what his favorite skill is,
everthing and read them. Figure out what worked,
and what didn't. Did you get tripped to death,
get fly potions. Do it one skill at a time

and I log every fight and every death and I
think I learn something everytime I go back and
read them. Besides, two years from now
you'll look back over them and see some really
famous people when they were young and stupid,
and it really helps your ego. :-)
