it's not about the 6 targets imo, it's about the single... eles can be taken with singles, that creature can't :/ and it surely could be made hard to train, but people always find ways, you know that best yourself, hanging out at dojo all the time^^

but what will the upper limit be? for other stealers it's twenty... if that one would get 5 it would be ok imo, but 20 is too much on an all targeter :/

life steal all is a bit strong imo... so is the demonic aura... but i like the idea

65 heal all is a bit over the top, don't you think? i think multiple would suit it better... else it would be too easy to heal weaklings... and, obviously, high age requirements from level three onward, healing shouldn't get too easy on mp3 and 4... part of the test-phase and stuff...

but that has nothing to do with the 'regen' ability in combat, V... creatures who can't 'regen' regen, too, if you get what i mean :/

in two weeks of testing, i couldn't find a way to make regen work the way it did before... so, you are right, apo, it works as we want it to work, but it doesn't work the way the description claims it should work

Princ, i didn't talk about what you were supposed to do, i talked about your intentions... i don't say that you wanted to break that treaty, but still, there were no intentions of fighting on your side, just those of being bound to that treaty if any at all... neither were there any intentions of fighting you on our side, unless some of you felt the need to fight us, that is^^ and i'm pretty sure that the whole ally-thing was a way of getting out of that treaty unharmed, Grido took it over, there was no way of preventing that, etc.etc. oh, and don't get me wrong: that's my very personal opinion on things, NOT the point of golemus and it's allies and NOT the absolute truth [in fact, i even think there might be reasons i haven't thought about yet...]

and you think a pure reset could change that, Princ?^^ factions will possibly change that, and i will definitely take some lessons from every tutor i can get a hold off to improve my shallow RPing XD atm, i'm that deep into my role that i have a totally normal every-day-job in MD when i'm not needed, which is stat-farming, i need a nice little 'i can do magic - FEAR ME!' role myself :lol:

LOL, you consider the Savelites our enemies from yesterday? XD they never wanted to fight in that war on either side... and, even though they are in the LR lands, they are no sub-ally of the guardians in at least my eyes, they have an idea that's independent from the guardians, and some of us supported them all along, and Grido amongst those ;-)

we are known to be stat-farmers and showing off with our 'golden penisses'? *takes a look at GG ally page* oh well, there's just MB and me stat-farming in our ally... and in the MRs, there's not that much farming, either XD the real stat-farmers are spread to all winds these days, and any ally needs some of them for times of wars imo =) and i like your spies, i was totally sure that nobody else was listening at that point... only idlers and people i trusted so far... so i must assume someone with the show-spell gave it to you :lol: giving away private chats is not exactly a nice thing to do, but oh well, there were no sensitive infos other than 1. White doesn't like Raven, 2. I didn't know that before, and 3. I was surprised on how dedicated White was about that^^ EDIT: forgot my point because of all that chat-logs... I hope that this action finishes the war before it starts, and i also hope that you won't be punished in any way... I'd love to see you at willow's again soon =D

no... Yrth does not want to see Raven in that position, and there are a few [VERY few] possible successors about whom Yrth is unsure concerning their leader qualities, and he'd like to see one of the good, strong leading figures in LR high chair at this critical point. just a little side note: what makes you all think we want to get a whole population killed? there's absolutely no need for attacking civilians, the following statement might sound a bit boastful, but it's true: we have fighters [and not just one of them] on our side who can take out every single lorerootian 'fighter' within 4 minutes, considering that there might be some huge lag during the attacks... so there is absolutely no need to keep any lorerootian 'civilian' hostage or even kill some of them in order to make Raven step down... We can do whatever we want to him at this point, and even though he might be young, he knows that much... we have enough willow's experience, don't we, Raven?^^ On late evening of Thursday, there were plans to get into loreroot at once and get done with it, definitely inspired by the guy Calyx was refering to, but Yrth wanted Raven to get enough time to make decisions of his own, that's the only reason why there is still war-talking and no post-war-arrangements... EDIT: put in 'fighter' and 'civilian', as i found it confusing at a second glance...

in my humble opinion, there was too much talking up to now and too little action... don't you see what happend to the Savelites? Take a look at Gridos loyalty, you can't take over an ally with 330 loyalty, he had help from inside ;-) that's to say, at least one [high-ranked] savelite chose to leave Raven (and from what rumors have, more than just one of them), and as an act of affirmation, disbanded the alliance and placed Grido as last remaining member to make sure that this ally does NOT go to war CoE have kicked all members who are not supporting Raven enough to go to war for him, and see what's left of them... when a 'leader' has only so little people who back him up, he can't be a good leader, can he? about a third of all people who were ruled by Raven up to now left him once the declaration was out, not counting inactives Obviously he got some support, too, there are those who like his ways and after all, he has the image of the noble defender while Yrth is the evil attacker XD Yrth, on the other hand, who started that war [yes, he did that, no matter what people say or do, one has to put the declaration of war out, and that was Yrth] lost two members, one of GG and one of MRs, and gained support from all around the realms, too... right NOW, with the end of the talking and threatening each other and with the first decisions made and first steps taken, one can see what's going on in people heads... up to now, people were sitting around with their hands tucked under their... thighs... and waited how things might turn out, now things HAVE turned out and sides are being chosen, and Ravens support is definitely thinner than before

well, at this moment you could still call it a private war against Raven, not a war on LR in general... yrth has made his point in the first post, Raven shall step down and it's all over for good, and if he doesn't, all we want would be... well, i could say his head, but that sounds kinda brutal, so i'd better say another leader for the LR alliance and be done with it^^ DISCLAIMER: Personally, i have no matters with Raven, nor with him being leader/king of Loreroot, but i'm wholeheartedly part of the Guerilla, and if Yrth thinks that there are reasons to get rid of Raven, i trust in him as he most probably knows more facts than me. I won't attack ANY of you for fun, but if you happen to land on my list or try to protect those on my list... *sticks his thumb out and draws it across his throat in a swift movement*

actually, they know yrth's point, and have known it for long... there are things which are unpublic for good reasons, because when politics are involved, one party will always lose and blame itself :lol: as long as certain things are discussed behind closed doors, each party can find reasonable explanations for their actions and sell them as wins, no matter if they won or not so don't think about that too much, guybrush, there are only about 5 people in the world who know all the facts^^ better sit back and watch teh big kids playing their game, it always turns out to be fun to watch

*doesn't care for reasons... just wants blood to be shed* *veeery evil grin* anyways, fighting for reasons unknown is what i do for a living, being part of a military alliance XD and i will gladly kill or be killed in the process of this war, if that's what my king wants to be done... Lorerootians, be aware... even though i dislike fighting you til death, if that's what's needed, i will do it :aggressive:

that's an insider, chewie... read the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy' ;-) [spoiler]42 is the answer to 'the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything', but unfortunately, the ultimate question itself is not found yet ;-) [there is a question formed in the book, namely 'what do you get if you multiply six by seven?', but you don't consider that to be the real question, just an idea of the suoercomputer that worked on the question for 10 million years... ah well, that's too great to explain][/spoiler] :lol: [color="#0000FF"][b]I have read those books. I know all about earth and the mice and the H shaped buildings and the nanobot doors that rebuild themselves and the child of Athur Dent and Trillian Astra and the restaurant at the end of the universe and Zaphod Beable Brox and pan galatic gargle blasters and the guide... need i go on? My point is that it doesnt contribute to the post that Mur made.[/b][/color]

healing was intended to take a long time, Manu wants the game to go at a slow pace in combat-development to leave more time for RP-developing^^

actually, factions and a reset don't have to go hand in hand... but if Mur really wants to have his idea of factions, we might really need a reset because he is planning to have most, if not all of the gaming time in mp2 as RP level and stop most of the statgaining and creature-rising in favor of roleplaying, and that surely would be a change big enough to make a reset totally necessary... and the compromise of all that would be to implement the new faction ideas and 'being stuck with one country'-idea and leave the older players to play as we used to play... but then, we would either be stuck with one country, too, and most of us would try to stick together in one land [to keep the game as we know it up as much as possible], and nobody would be there to help the newbies who play the new system... or we were allowed to walk all lands, and that would most likely interfere with the ideas Mur is thinking about :/ at least that's what i understood so far of the faction system that's being planned, i haven't been at the meeting myself to ask question, i only read the chat-log some players provided...

i was just throwing in that even in an RP game, there are some casual gamers with 1-2 hours per week as well as a few pros like us with 3 or more online hours per day, and imo, there should be a reasonable chance to win a HC for the dedicated casual gamer, too, and not only for the pros who spend hours in chats and ask people from all over the world to help them... you know, it shouldn't be easy, it's a contest after all, but a fighter should get a chance as well as a diplomat gets his chance, and if the fighter is strong enough and has some good rituals at hand, he shouldn't be afraid of some weaklings interferring 'his' HC throu using a bunch of bugs and heads that are originally from another MP level and 'unreachable'... i'd copy in a link to our 'new HC' topic, but i'm too lazy to search it right now...

lifeline, read a novel of Thomas Bernhard ['Der Atem' oder 'Der Keller' are the best of him imo] and you'll get used to Lib's style of writing ;-) i guess Loukas is right when saying that HC is most fun for the elite players, but that is not unfair in itself, as any player can win a contest if he spends some time on strategy, you can take all the time you need to rise your stats... and if it takes you 300 days, then it just takes you that long, that's no problem for HC but it is kind of unfair that players who spend a year or more on training for a HC have totally no chance because they are casual gamers and don't make enough / the right connections, THAT is unfair... everyone can become an elite mp3 with less than an hour per week within a few months, but you can't win a HC through being elite :nea:

after reading your comment three times, loukas, i'm afraid that there are many ways to cheat which are not counted as cheating by everybody... for example, hiding on paper cabin roof and having another player messing the GoE all the time is cheating imo, even though it's just using normal game mechanics in a totally normal way... then there's 40 min ally-cooldown, which is nothing but another form of cheating in my eyes, ally and land stat-boosts, 'predicting counts' [thou know what i'm talking about], jumping to leader (who is sitting at wasp's chamber by mere chance, obviously] after leaving through LR hidden exit, and i could carry on with that list for ages... i'm not being jealous of any player at all, not of rusties, not of credits, not of medals, nothing of that sort, i'm doing my thing here and having fun, and if others have fun in another way, well, their choice, but i will go to any lenghts to fight for a 'fair' HC for all players, and Aia is just a perfect victim for all the ranting that needs to be done, as she definitely understands that i like her nonetheless (i even stopped from attacking her, for hell's sake, just because she asked...) PS: i like your way of talking, Tarquinus, but it's hard to read at some points :/ [please keep your style, but please don't be angry with me if i miss some of your points from time to time^^] oh, and don't think that you can shut me up by telling me that you are thinking i might be 'better than that' or 'should know better than to say such things', i like compliments of other good players, but they are not exactly my drug... in fact, i don't really care what you are thinking of me, as long as i know that i did achieve the ends i was aiming for^^

or with RPCs help, or with 'usage of game meachnics'... seriously, it has been done by almost every winner, i'm no exception to that, but two wins based on unfair means is just... well, it creates a feeling that's a bit weird at the very least -.- and if HC was about intelligence and strenght, we would have had very different outcomes in the last few months, it's ALL about politics since roughly dec-jan contest... there was kind of a passage since sep-oct-contest, when the MRs did a great performance as group :/ up to then, good fighters had a fair chance, but nowadays... no real chance without the right connections, or really reckless bug-using too bad that we are going that far for that medal these days...

time is never wasted when you had fun spending it, and if it was no fun for you, then your time was wasted no matter if there's going to be a reset or not... i know, that's a bit too philosophical for me, sounds more like Khalazdad :/ but i think it's true and well said, even though i forgot where i heard it

so you are saying that fighting will get a deeper RP-meaning? YAY^^ that means: a) no need to quit for me, fighting is exactly what i do as break when working for college, and people will stop saying that my RPing is poor XD b ) no need for a reset, as even people like cless and dst can easily be defeated if you know what you are doing and c) land wars are great, i want to stick around to get more of those =D

what is 'mur': according to some philosophies, mur is everything, others say Mur is nothing, even others claim that there is a whole bunch of beings who have murry powers... imo, 'Mur' is god, and i'm afraid that even though i know what a god is, i can't explain it properly... maybe that's the best definition for a Mur: a thing of which you know that it's there, but which you can impossibly describe to another person... yes, that is a Mur =D
