12.5k Contract. Race against time.
If it's true then I want some names!
bahahahaha, I did. Pure brilliance. So true too.
Is it true, Miroth?
Nope :P can you mail it?
haha, i hope you bastards saw that comment before it got removed
You people seem to fail to understand the ratings system. It says who rated the log what for a reason. You can't really say whether a log is good or bad, if you could, the ratings system could be automatized. You can click and see that Hirgail or Miroth enjoyed a log very much, while Myrddin didn't like it at all. And that tells you something about the log. And if there would be a log of Myrddin's death, everyone would rate it a 6 because everyone would have enjoyed it. Then again, what the hell do you need ratings for if you can just click and read the fucking log.
Tevildo is not a good guy. He's a hypocritical holier than thou art asshole Uncle Tom.
There's no circular argument there Exley, it's simple. Who determines what's valid? Myrddin? The fucking guy rates ratings.
He can rate whatever he likes whatever he wants, it's his personal opinion, but to then do that and say that somehow the reasons another person rates something aren't valid makes him an asshole and a hypocrite.
Hi sexy.
Tevildo would be less prone to getting killed if he were able to keep his mouth shut.
Hi Shabba!
erm, you'd be surprised how many people dislike Tevildo. Just putting that out, not saying i necessarily do.
Stroke, suffer one.
Considering the risks Tevildo takes in exploring new areas etc., I'd say him being a hard target is a fallacy. You just need to time things well (which this log did).
Sorry, when you think about 'staying near aliased breaks' I'm pretty sure Tevildo doesn't. You see he's not the kind of guy that pisses off random people, or hell anyone much. I doubt if Tevildo even has anything pk wise aliased at all, if he does, it's probably a remnant from battlepoints and lawless ER's. He died, I guess, because he wasn't expecting anyone to PK him, apparently he was wrong. Some people have made a big deal abou the fact that he was going for Anfidurl, doesn't that kind of tell you something!
For those of you who still don't get it. Tevildo was going for Anfidurl as he's a nice guy who stays out of PK area and he knew noone in their right mind would be worried about losing it because noone would go for it. It's a unique noone cares about, save for the fact of having a unique.
I don't think it was a great log... but Myrddin isn't taking into account who the target is. It's not a matter of liking or disliking them; a log of Tanar dying would get a 6 from me (and it'd actually inspire me to rate the log) because Tanar is goddamn impossible to kill -- not because he's super duper skilled or any nonsense like that; he just sticks to very close to his hall all the time and has enough self awareness to be able to alias to his hall from wherever he is.
Similarly, Tevildo is a tough target if for no other reason than by virtue of his playing style: Spending most of his time in his hall, and being near aliased breaks most of the rest of the time. So this log deserves a better rating than a kill with exactly the same content on, say, Alcavant.
Why do some people think flippant comments amount to caring? If someone makes fun of you, or rips something you do, it doesn't necessarily mean it's keeping them up at night. :P
I am so glad that I don't moderate ratings anymore.
you try too hard.
The funny thing about people who rate a log in a way that they try to balance another unfair rating is that this is a contradictory line of thought in itself. The average you are seeking is still what YOU think it should be rated as and therefore you yourself are corrupting the value of the ratings because you are imposing your opinion on another vote. Man, work is hard today, I almost made sense for once.
myrddin, i didnt read what you replied, but i realized after rating the log myself and calling your rating douchebaggish that i rated it based on my hatred for dead beat dads. probably deserves a 4 :p but by no means a 1.
I rated it a 6 because Tevildo got caught with his pants down trying to claim Anfidurl.
I thought the log was little better than average, based solely on how close the world was to ending. Other than that, it was pretty much crap. I tend to agree with Myrddin, here. Perhaps those of you who rated it a 6 can explain why now.
Hirgail, that's a circular argument, buddy. I think we can all agree that anyone here can justify their own personal rating system. You can think whatever you want, after all, just be prepared to defend it.
Do I need to link you to the 1000 instances of people bitching about ratings based on people disliking the poster, or can I just tell you you're a fucking idiot instead?
Jabba, your comment is contradicted by the fact that Miroth initiated this whole conversation...clearly he cares enough about what I think to rag about it.
If it doesn't deserve a 6, fair enough. Why does it deserve a 1? And who are you to say what a valid reason for a rating is?
Myrddin, I voted your comment as a 1.
5. No one gives a shit about what Myrddin thinks
The other choices are a) you like the poster or b) you dislike the target, which aren't valid reasons for a decent rating and are even less valid for questioning somebody else's.
I'll analyse the events of the log:
1. Attack naked target near boot
2. Target fails break because of a crappy alias (or something)
3. Target dies (13.5k profit - fines)
4. World ends
Ok, I'm assuming what makes this log special is one or both of the last 2 things. The way I see it, a kill this boring for a high contract might make the log a 3 if it was a 2 otherwise. The world's ending thing probably boosts this to somewhere between a 4 and a 5. But I definitely don't think the world ending makes or breaks a log so much that it jumps 3 ratings. This log was getting a douchebaggish amount of undeserved sixes, so an undeserved 2 (or whatever the hell I rated) isn't any different.
Basically, the log itself was boring as shit. Its only saving point is that it was a profitable kill and executed with near perfect (considering the reliance on damage dealt, this is basically dependant on luck) timing. This doesn't make the log itself any less boring, so why the hell does it deserve a 6?
myrddin, your rating of this log is fucking douchebaggish.
im fucking lagged out of wow and it doesn't fucking know it. it's gay.
Mentioned in the same sentence as Vallejo... I think I'm going to be sick. Again.
That depends on your perspective, Tash. The game has changed a lot. If it were changed such that PK was simply a matter of having the right alias (Diablo 2 devolved into a perfect set of equipment; pk there is pretty much about who has a set closer to that ideal [I know Pounder is going to be upset with me for saying that!]) it could legitimately be said that nobody playing at that time was as good as the people playing in the past. If Miroth considers the PK game to have devolved in this way (to a lesser extent) his elitism has a basis in reality.
And... my god, Esteban. My god.
' the people who have killed me knew the game and knew it well before you even started playing this game. '
That's pretty elitist. There were great players then, there are great players now. You didn't have to play years ago to play well.
Also Esteban, WHY should only existing characters be able to comment here? What's the reasoning behind this standard you just pulled out of your ass?
But you just did reply Esteban. Just then. Right as you were writing that you were doing the very thing you said you didn't want to do.
And look! You did it another time a few posts back!
No, you are just an annoying bastard, if i replied to your silly comments about me, that would make me equal to you...
btw, i like how you motherfuckers whine anytime someone with a nonexistant char says something you don't like. it makes it seem like you think you could actually do something to the char in game in retribution. think that all you want. i may suck, but you don't have what it takes. the people who have killed me knew the game and knew it well before you even started playing this game. adunazon, vallejo, a few others. so don't think because you have a few ears on your necklace that you're anything special.
yeah, esteban, because you talking shit about things you know nothing about makes what you say have any more relevance than what i say. if you want to talk to me in game, you can talk to berum. i don't play. i don't care what you think. this isn't the mud. believe me, if all that was posted here was a log and boring comments regarding that log, people wouldn't keep coming back. as much bullshit as i spew, many people find me quite entertaining. whether they're laughing at me or with me doesn't matter. i make a fool of myself and of others because it entertains me. fuck off noob.
Only existed characters should be able to comment here... Miroth is stupid and thinks he can piss off everyone... Learn to be polite you 'fucktard' Miroth
who fucking said anything about armath lobo? i was talking to that fucktard esteban.
Pab, I know you didn't just diss Brof :P
HP:230 EP:194> Backstab with what? Your mother?
lawlz0rz at old comment.
and the olympics are pretty fucking sweet. can't believe they demolished all those homes to build this arena
http://logs.dyndns.dk/viewer.php/4953
there is your boy brof in breaking action :P
read again what i said, miroth... it was Armath
Blah! Had time to type 'sigh' and not time to survive! :P
esteban, what's your problem? why the hell do you keep trying to call me out everytime i say something. quit talking to me as if you've earned the right to.
It depends on what you call 'Loth'. If ship is in 'Loth', depending on how you're counting breaks that's like 4 breaks right there.
Please tell me 50 breaks in Lothlorien... I can only count 4...
you've got 50 breaks around loth. who the fuck would run from loth to rhos, then to rivendell for that shit. if you only have one break aliased for loth, you're retarded.
Leth to Carrock is like... what, 50 rooms? Then Carrock to bell is another 50. Changing trigger from bell to waterfall in time is marginally impressive, though the extreme distance between the first 3 means... well, it just wouldn't apply in today's MUD. Now, if he triggered the CG tree break, the CG proper break, then leth, then the first Misty Mountains break I'd be impressed.
I mean, just _running_ from Loth to Rivendell is tough to get done, much less doing it with a bunch of failed breaks.
Furthermore, your counterexample doesn't apply to my statement: I said 'About the only thing anybody triggers <b>any more</b> is Osgiliath gates' -- Pulling dated examples actually strengthens my position.
But I'm agreeing with you guys (Nobody breaks any more, and increasingly nobody triggers breaks any more) so I see no reason for dispute.
Yeah, even npcs do it now :P
Yeah, triggering really isn't as hard as you people make it out to be.
Brof is my boy <3
*cocksuck*
*cocksuck*
I have seen Brof following Armath through 4 breaks and killing him :P THAT was spetacular: lethyl, carrock, bell and waterfall
You attempted 10 people after me? You've been a busy boy :P All Mordor, or have you been racking up a bunch of fines?
It's worth noting that Tevildo would have (narrowly) escaped if his huntbreak alias had been a little less anal and a little more accurate. Trying to make aliases that will work 100% of the time no matter what the other guy does rarely works and often backfires. Better to just have 5 or 6 breaks per region available, and on the off chance your attacker triggers through (About the only thing anybody triggers any more is Osgiliath gates, and not everybody even triggers that), now that Aryl is gone I'm pretty sure nobody would be able to trigger through multiple consecutive breaks. (To explain, Aryl was anal about trigger changing. To give him practice, once he and I had some war games where he'd attack me at Grima many times, and he'd try and anticipate where I'd break and change his triggers accordingly. Towards the end he could do it almost 1/2 times, which, considering the region, is spectacular.)
Mirnac was the only one to get my point. Notice that Tevildo did try to break, except he totally failed at it. And also he's passed at least 2 easy breaks in his way before he finally tried to break.
Anyways, the last 10 or so people I've attempted, all of them either died or innbroke. Except for the one that escaped with 7hp after i ran out of EP. :(
Well the point is still, ALOT of the logs posted the last year or so, are easy kills, alot of the victims should easily have broken alot of the kills.
People simply dont post attempt logs unless something really special happens in it. If tevildo got away.. you think he would have posted the log?
Mordhred, you don't see people breaking because usually that translates into someone living, which isn't as much fun, therefore no log :p
It still happens!
I think...
Not glad to see Tevildo die but this was a rather perfect execution...
What's with people not being able to break hunt these days? I have a new rule for myself: I wont ever try to trigger any breaks - if the target just attempts to use one instead running like a headless chicken or innbreaking, he already deserves to live.
ahahaha, solo'd like a bitch, kinda like getting owned by child support.
Bah, what kind of shitty GiM doesn't have an ithildin and elfstone ring? Fucking bullshit man.
Would blow to see it boot with him at ND :P
It certainly was anfi
umm... I hope that wasn't Anfi... but I dunno anything anymore so
Thats a pretty cool log.
