The first quiz of the New Year was close run, won by Branwell by a whisker
with 24 points. Close second on 23 was Rembrandt, with Orddu on 17 in
third. Joint fourth on 4 apiece were Tryagain and Scytale, and joint 5th
Guiseppe and Siva with 2 points (although to their credit, Guiseppe left
early and Siva arrived late!).. Same time next week, thanks everyone for
taking part as ever!

These exist only in Siva's fevered imagination.
In reality his pantaloons are riddled with flaws and anomalies
and are a subject of ribald comment and general hilarity throughout
the known universe.
His thong though is gleaming and pristine.

If you punish it is only good manners to show yourself.
No interest in going into a lengthy debate, but I thought
the punishment was a bit harsh

Stamina 20, Spells 34
zap wraith
Energy strikes out from you, and destroys it instantly.
Your spell worked, but the wand is destroyed by the powers involved.
You thump the wraith quite hard!
The wraith lunges at you!
The rest is history... sigh.. but another player heard the zap and then
I died.. how can this work?

From: hazeii
Subject: This is how come...
Dated: Tue Jan 15 22:30:06

The reason is because the Wraith got the last blow in. It has a
power of 30, and your stamina was 20. While you were typing and
sending 'zap wraith', it got the blow in. The alternative for
cases like this would be to blend messages together (the response
to your input, and the output from the mobile fight) but that'd
REALLY be confusing.

I wish to complain that a wiz restammed Kocicka while I was still out
waiting to attack her
Kocicka cripple me and I attacked
She was on low stam and managed to quit the game without losing points
Either way, Mischief restammed her. I believe that this is not exactly
allowed. Please could an Arch comment and hand out punishment accordingly.

Ok for starters i did cripple her, i admit that
however i didnt folow thru attack as was serially attacked by mobiles
i then went to restam at girl when i was attacked by buffy on 45 stam
i had to fl o qq to avoid kill so did lose points about 5 or 6k
went to safe where mis zipped me as i was on even less stam
then we fought she killed me end of story
however one last point,buffy is known for low stamming anyway
and mischief may not have seen the cripple
anyway i'm a novice she a necro so whats
 

From: Buffy
Subject: Kocicka
Dated: Tue Jan 22 18:58:10

Only complaint I have is the free restam you got from an immortal
I am sorry for low stam attack, but afterwards I like to think I showed
I was a lady by letting you restam twice and getting you LS
while you were fighting mobiles.
Sorry about that again.
My point still stands that an immortal must not restam someone
when another mortal is waiting for them.

Ps. no hard feelings Kocicka?
 

From: Mischief
Subject: Yawn..
Dated: Tue Jan 22 19:10:41

In response :-
Quite right, normally I'd never re-stam a mort at the level of sorc.
However, I thought attacking someone of 45 stam was pretty low, and
she deserved a freebie. If Zeon wishes to punish me (oeer), that's up to h
..him, even.

Discuss this with Doctor, or there Immortal?

Firstly, one thing to remember is that IF someone steals
a weapon from you whilst you are fighting a mobile, as long
as you dont try to ret with anything else, your blows still have
the same effect as if you were still actually using the weapon
Secondly, yes it is blanent low-stamming but as has been
said before it is NOT against the rules, mearly frowned upon.
and if you re-read Missy's column you will see that the comments by
her and myself refer to attacking down, NOT low stamming :-)

Well Seth, that is an interesting message!
I actually stole an axe from someone called Xander,
who had attacked me a week or so ago and killed me.
But that must explain the flood of expletives that you started
'tell' ing me. And why you attacked me. Still, you died.
I'm returning after a few years, and was finding my way round
Your language was offensive. Perhaps I should complain about it?

I thought this was a 'Summon and Slay' Mud, not 'Shout and Swear'
I'm sure it wasn't great to be attacked ... like it wasn't when you
killed me last week. But I remember that it is part of the game.
I suggest that if fighting upsets you so much you find another mud
So you are Xander too? Why were you both in the game at the same time?
or is it one rule for you and different ones for everyone else??

delivered: she had to leave very shortly anyway for a tryst in the
Bridal Suite with her latest husband).
Anyway Badriya took advantage of a low attendance to win for a change
2nd was Rembrandt only a poit behind, joint 3rd were Orddu and Siva.
But I disqualified Siva becaus ehe is a shifty-looking cove with a
