I didn't mean to actually kill him, but honestly, I don't feel that bad about a mass murder of Gondor dying. For some reason its not in color, but I colored the important part.
So what am I Mahamodie? Smart person or, as Caber and Iago put it, a cheater?
Heh.
Don't blame Direkein or Caber for the MELs thing, it was me. I don't care if i'm called a bug abuser. It's the smart people who think up these things to get an advantage at the game. That's what puts you above everyone else.
Genius or just clever.. but for sure a bug. No one could think that it were to be possible to do that on purpose I think :-).
I agree.
Personally I thought the passing around of MELS during a pk was genius.
I can be //for// a certain items behaviour staying that (bugged) way it is (and thus making the bug into a feature), and can argue for that point to the Ainur or anyone else, while at the same time being //against// abuse of the bug while it's still recognized as such. Some people here need to consider the difference.
Ooh...i love pink as much as i love naughty boys:P
Azarael, I just happen to know that Carm's aim was in fact.....
Aim : 415
'Oh, and Trempk and Rhoads I see no difference in flaming me or flaming my guild. How about you get over it and move on, or block yourself for being hypocritical pricks?'
When you learn what is flame Direkein, come talk, otherwise stop whinning.
As a side note, when about one year ago when I was still a warrior I used this medallion one certain day to try out and in all cases it went berserk on the first or the second hit so it is not really surprising it wen`t on the backstab here, at least to me that is.
Azarael is the only that looks foolish after spewing out baseless accusations like that one. There used be someone else that did that shit, he had a nickname, Sunshine or something, I don't recall.
I hope it isn't nerfed, then I won't be able to do the same thing to people :P
Medallion isn't _that_ good. If it was a bug and is now it is fixed, then it's ok.
Actually, I completely agree with Azarael. My point was for Grimscar and I'm sure he knows why. I'm unsure if the code on the medallion was changed. What I do know is that Grimscar had tagged 2 people already with the medallion going off on the backstab. Caber was the third. So yes Az, the expectation was there. I'm not sure if it was just his backstab or a way he found to fire it (I CAN only speculate). Instant death on anyone is something that we should be looking to avoid. I am also aware of the MELS incident that you are talking about. Doing that with the MELS is complete bullshit as well.
Oh, and Trempk and Rhoads I see no difference in flaming me or flaming my guild. How about you get over it and move on, or block yourself for being hypocritical pricks?
OUCH!
Hahaha, DH whining? That never happens. Morals are the only ones who ever whine. 'And why do you want to change all the cool and fun stuff to bring it down the the same level of fair boringness.' Or something to that effect. :p
Bleh, I don't think you're using the most solid comparisons either. Direkein had nothing to do with that pk with the MELS. Neither did I. I logged on, read the board, saw that it had happened. By then, it was already fixed. For all you know, Direkein has never ever been in support of bug abuse. Your entire 'for me to be like Direkein...' thing is completely flawed.
You're at it from the wrong angle Caber. I didn't want it to be changed. I have NEVER asked for anything to be changed because I ended up on the short end of the stick. Well there was one time I whined. Kazin and Carm shot my brother full of dark arrows at the Mordor gates and he never woke up because Carm had like 5 aim potions and 250 aim so he never missed. But even then, I only bitched at Carm, I didn't say anything to ainur or request any changes.
Anyway, like I said. I like it when anyone can be clever. I've 10000 percent more credibility than the FRA or Direkein because I don't do X and then whine when X happens to me. For me to be like Direkein, I would have had to argue that it was ok for me to whip the troll, then go back to the ainur and whine when I got whipped myself. That has never happened.
I think it's cool when *anyone* does it!
Much like you didn't want the whip to be changed when you were using it to kill the troll in Mordor, right Azarael? You have as much credibility as any of FRA when it comes to issues of planned abuse. :P
direkein, you can sure be an ass for such a smart guy. You weren't running around calling Azathrim an abuser when he whacked all the ERs with the medallion and SoB. Nobody has ever seen the medallion go off on a backstab before, and we sure used to try. Unless it has been changed he was lucky. The accusation of abuse means it is implicit that you know or have reasonable expectations of the results of what is going to happen.
So here we have a medallion that is in the game since march 15th 1998 or something and has never gone off on a backstab (that I have seen or know of) and then it goes off and that makes the person a code abuser? Someone should nerf your imagination like I'm sure they'll nerf the medallion after all the whining is done.
Not to mention, I'd like to come up with an example that actually reflects what you're talking about. Remember when FRA I think it was had the MELS, and thought up a plan in advance, made triggers to pass it around and charged someone with it repeatedly at Rhos? Now *THAT'S* abusing a miscoded item because you planned it in advance and *KNEW* what was going to happen. If Grimscar happens to respond and says he'd seen the backstab+medallion repeatedly before and was expecting it, I will look stupid. If it has hardly ever happened before, you're going to look extremely stupid as well as hypocritical.
Sorry for making you look foolish, but I really couldn't sit here and see a post full of such hypocrisy go uncontested. I just cannot stand this pro-nerf kinda stuff and how it's all cool when you do it but it's so unfair when anyone else does it (or even when they don't, in this case) I think it's cool when *anyone* does it!
DH dying, has to be a bug abuse.
i believe the medallion fires at random, and has alot of draw backs to wearing it.
Grimscar, we were so trying to get those hits some years ago...have they changed the medallion?
Yeah, i lost 180+ from this :(
How is that abuse?
Sorry Gridi. Been moral too long, and didn't realize that. Maybe I need to play the bad side again!
-otto
You didn't mean to kill him? No need to lie Grimscar. Or does abusing an item thats miscoded embarrass you that much?
Last time I checked the medallion could only be used on immorals.
Not alot of immorals in arda pkill immorals :p
Everyone has the medallion, last time I checked.
-otoron
And the morals complain immorals have all the good stuff.. Hahah :p
The timing on that... really cool move :)
