From recent GDB thread

Yeah I agree with Doubt. Trying to snipe at a massive army of doom who can crush you in an instant were it not for an abundance of spam to let you escape is indeed stupid. Especially when you run right through the room they were in and fail your sneak.

Oooo boy, this will take some time to explain.

This will be a long post detailing two deaths, so bear with me here:

Romy had this pc named "Gowan". He was nothing special, just a regular ole assassin. As a new player Romy sucked hardcore. I took it upon myself to explain some basics to him and how the game works, and over a period of time the character truly developed into an amazing person.

Gowan was a necropheliac, meaning he loved him some dead booty (the fresher the better).

He also worked for Kurac as a member of the Fist. After some time, it became readily apparent that Gowan was developing into something of a force, so to speak. He was recruited into the secretive "Archives" unit wherein he was tasked with carrying out various missions and the like. Eventually, after having succeeded in a number of smaller missions, Gowan was tasked with becoming the proprietor of the Mantis, Kurac's watering hole in the 'rinth.

It was here that Gowan truly began to shine, I feel. Sadly, however, his life would be cut short due to the following:

1) Rissa, a Kuraci psionicist (played by Nyr) was in talks with Borsail over destroying the Mantis. Once Gowan found out, this infuriated him.

2) After a series of discussions in which Gowan pleaded for Rissa to fight for Kurac and save the Mantis, it all came to a head. Gowan met with Rissa in Kurac's argosy and pleaded one last time for her to cease this nonsense. Rissa claimed that the Mantis was not even a profitable venture (which I find absolutely ludicrous, seeing as how this establishment is their foothold on the 'rinth and allowed them to corner the market with regard to spice). Upon the conversation finishing, Gowan slipped his knives out under the table and stabbed the bitch dead. She was, to Gowan, for all intents a purposes a traitor. (Romy was kind enough to offer the log if you'd like to see it in its entirety, plus the gruesome aftermath following Rissa's demise)

3) Gowan then went in full Wolverine mode and systematically sought out and eliminated each and every player who had a hand in seeking to dismantle and level the Mantis. A Fale noble (played by fantasywriter IIRC) was the first victim -- he was wasted in public for all to see. (logs if you so wish to see)

4) Before the matter reached the senate and was voted on, Gowan then sought to cut the head off the snake, so to speak. He went after the Borsail who was championing this venture and blasted his ass as well with the help of a psionicist from the 'rinth (logs if you wish to see).

5) This apparently pissed off the wrong person (nessalin) because the Borsail noble was a former member of staff.

6) Gowan, upon returning to Luir's to report what happened, was given a harsh talking to and killed by his direct superior (i.e. slayed by nessalin) because he killed an employee who was not even lifesworn.

Conclusion: Rissa was committing treason, no ifs ands or buts about it. Gowan took care of the problem. He was eliminated for this.

Romy was not upset he died, as he had told colleagues on more than one occasion he would be killed by none other than Kurac one day, and that was how he wanted it. He was loyal to the core.

Recent HRPT:

I have to give you the story here since Zul was immediately banned upon Nyr's response.

Zul Ryiel, an insanely strong Soh Lanah Kah ranger, took a few potshots at some Allanaki soldiers.

Upon slipping off and making his way back to the Gem (Zul never spammed back, I saw the logs of him pausing to hunt near the edge of Muarki lands to see if any others had passed through), Zul sat down to get his breath back.

He was then summarily transferred into a room far above Muarki lands and allowed to plunge to his death.

Herein is the entirety of the conversation between Romy and Adhira:

"You transferred me -- not cool

I would have preferred by the hand of another player."

To which Adhira responded by saying:

Understood.

It is a shame that option was not available. The thread on the gdb mentioned wishing up prior to taking any action, you did not do this. Unfortunately you instead choose to attack a group that was lead [sic] by a Red Robe, one of the most powerful beings in the Known World. It responded in kind to you interrupting its preparations.

Armageddon Staff

Unless you're referring to the very end of the deal when a wall of text entered the room, wherein Zul attempted to sneak out (he was already overburdened apparently).

Either a ton of people entered the Gem or Zul was transferred back to the group, THEN transferred up into the air once he snuck away. Alas, I forget.

Nothing new here. This has been going on since forever.

Everyone who plays arm are pricks. Staff especially. Boo fuckity hoo.

So when the p.c. Akari got insta-killed walking out the One-eyed Red robe's vortex, that was Romy's P.C. that did it? Do the Soh defend the Gypsies or are they just into protecting Tuluk from Allanak?
