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

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?

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.

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.

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??

Anyway Badriya took advantage of a low attendance
