Solace MUD Official Forum

I start to login not from the beginning, so I will tell it here

I have entered and saw Kelvar and Alantas (young invo). Alodea (young Takh abj) tried to reraid. I protected Alantas and golem with sanc. She was coming and fleeing, coming and fleeing. Nothing really interesting. Then I have moved to astral and dropped link. Reconnected, moved out thinking I am still in astral. Wrong and I was almost slain by two Betrayers of Chaos, awaiting me out of Tower. Alodea have left (why???). I moved back to the Tower, they (betrayers I mean) slew golem and attacked me inside, and here what happened after

Decided to group with Groum, but:

Things became hotter, hehe
Waiting in the Tower and speaking with Alantas, time passing
For some reasons Takhisis servants do not come to reraid, maybe some more important business :)
Ok, lets deal with betrayers first

Travelled with him to Pal, but betrayers had left. Bah, returned to the Tower. Waiting again for Takhisis. They do not come. But old friend does:

Waiting more. Maybe they wish us to die from boredom? Great tactic! So....if mountain does not come to Magomet, Magomet goes to mountain

Looting after such awesome outnumber is crap, nothing worthy to post imho

two against one is awesome outnumber?
Then do not loot.

Nice battle and pure victory, hope to see more such fights in the future.

A moment please

Drunr rocks, undoubtedly!
Right actions from Chaos side. They have it their own way ;)
But Tower...

Alantas tells the group, 'We at war with Chaos.'
Keonar tells you, 'Cease fire while we are having negotiations with Kelvar.' - sure their main aim was Anrakh.

C'mon, entropists make everything they want with Tower, and Mages eat it all  :)

Ah yes, I didnt finish a reraid  when golem was convulsing because of some dealings with dear Pachango. And had to stay in astral for some time.



Two? 4 will be right number!  :)

I agree that battle was fine, but I do not accept the word "pure".  ;)

entropists did not attack Anrakh. Only me and Drunr did it

You are blinded, man  :) :) :)
They did before you came, they did while you were there and they did after you left. Please, be unbiassed.

can you quote this in log? Anrakh was not wounded when I start casting spell on him and after I left he was dead. Its hard for entropists to strike a corpse, right?

Sure, you can't see it. Battles last for 2 hours. How do you think why Anrakh was without money, rings, powers, etc? Why we were in the Temple instead of being near your golem? Huh? Try to look at it from another point of view  :) Do not think that only you are brave and others are rabbits.

I know that Anrakh was fighting Chaos before

But you telling that they fighted him with me and Drunr
Here is the log.

"Do not think that only you are brave and others are rabbits."
Never told this.

Really epic log, great to see so many different clans clashing here. IMHO tower got pretty greedy during it... but that's their choice. Sucks to be Anrakh, but kudos to him for at least going out there and taking the beating for the queen.

And just remember people: before you go on about how much "Drunr rocks", remember that Anrakh was fighting two people (far less chances of dodging), and was also under paralyze/soften. Real 1v1 battle would have been much more in Anrakh's favor.

How Kelvar lost the chromatic in the first place?

Since when Tower helps the Guardians?

Since when the Guardians asks the Tower for the help?

If I'm not mistaken that draconian betrayer of chaos is Henare's char...

Another ooc victory, I'd say.

You wanna talk OOC, how the hell did Anrakh get the chromatic set and honors face with only Alodea's help?

I wish there were more epic battles like this, but less all attacking poor Takhisis :(

Deda, the only ex-Solace player I am interacting is Laeran.
The only current player is one of the Tower's members. I have started to interact with him only now.

Honey face? I only helped him to slay Kaz, it takes 20-30 min. Nothing really hard as you may think.


ayep, leave them alone, betrayers!!  >:( :) :)

Easily! Moreover, he could get it without even Alodea's help, just wasting some time on it. Akhulas used to kill Galan Dracos solo with his sargicler; just wasted four hours RL to get it.

Insane. I could spent only 1 hour to kill mob.
What did you do, a million scratches him to death?
Though possible with charge, flee if you're knight.

Deda - what are you talking about my betrayer?

yes it s mine, but how it s linked with OOC?

as betrayer i am in alliance with Pachango and we gangbang sometimes - it s really fun. and fit rp of totall bastards betrayers of chaos... no?

did nt get where s OOC?

as Henare i had friend - elf Goris, since he was nt in Tower at all.

Deda explain what do you mean about OOC victory...

just before Goris was near killed because Pachango and draconian made a trap before golem.

Yea, nice number of people in a fight. And i thought i was late, but seems i pretty much arrived with everyone else. By the way, the song is the dwarven marching song.  ;)
Did not notice how the knight got paral, would have fled. But then again did not see him using honour's face and chrom.  ;D Damn. how come we did not continue after the Takh's death? Entropy and Warders versus Guardians and Tower?
PS: and i just hate that couple Pachngo and Butagavk! ARGH! Sting of manticore and my foolishness on my head!  :P That was really wicked how you two slayed Drunr.  :)

Because:
1. I have no personal anger towards you or Chaos. On of the reasons I have attacked Chaos for was just to give Henare a bit of rest
2. Money on my account was very small, as you see I just returned to the Tower and its ended
3. Its slow and unreliable link when sitting under modem
4. Its senseless to fight with you. I can not hold you, so what for?
5. I have been already  called "Chaotic tower killer" :))
6. I was already overburdened with chrom :)))))

But you will have a chance some day in future when Goris returns, I think :)

uf Drunr, forgive me as betrayer, actually it was most pathetic and cowardly tactic we used. but you are unstopable with simple methods :) need to use all cowardice and every trick to catch you with 2 on 1.

Yea, got so sure of myself tha forgot to put on shelter and some other things. Payment for being reckless.

Dear dehucka, correct me if i'm mistaken, but if you log on a nonclanned char, then relog to a clanned char, it's called cheating! If you don't believe me, ask any immortal. I found it out the hard way...

From what immortal told me, it's not really "cheating" unless you use the non-clanned char to find out where someone is to kill them and then log on clanned char to do so. But if you log on a char to check who list or something before you log on your clanned char it's considered very very cheap and cowardly and the IMMs will use their power do address such behavior.

Nod Daedralos. So by ooc victory I meant: too many people at the same place at the same time, which is so very unusual for Solace... How so many people knew where to turn out for the fight? You must admit it - it's highly unusual...

Heh, well i simply located Takhisis's power in the Tower. Was sitting near Tower for a while. but when noone came checked the Temple. Pretty logical.

As for Tower, Henare told me that Chaos is fighting Takhisis near their Temple (if I remember correctly he fought Chaos in Pal a bit before)

I thought it would be fine to make life of CHaos and Takhisis more funny and join that battle

Then as you can read in log I have told Henare that I am there and fightning
He came as well

SImple and nothing OOC-ish :)

Hey lemme tell you something:
1. It is kinda unhonourable to call other clans to help you - Goris called Henare (may be until you are not Entropist) I hate that. That is my imho.
2. And it is forbidden to help other clans with spells - enlarge for Henare. At the imms place I should deny both of them (so that could happened at the Chemosh's times). Cheat and kindergarten everywhere.

Tell me, is it really necessary to completely ruin RP during serious PK? Why Imms write "Great battle" here? Im really confused. Or is it a normal thing for clan players to behave like they play Quake?

The main thing that bother me - why immortals are so happy about that?

One immortal is not all immortals  ;)

Hmm, well a good battle is a good battle. And i still do not see where rp was broken, at least harshly. There were 5 clans present, only two pairs of which had neutrality between each other (warders neutral to chaos, guardians neutral to tower). Of course with such a diverse spectre of enemies oone shall pick his battles carefully, perhaps first getting rid of the strongest of your two enemies assisting one of them against the other. Not to mention assisting freindly clan- nothing wrong with that imho.
And about forgetting about rp, when great battles take place. I think it is not forgetting, but rather coming to terms with reality of the situation, like in real life: sometimes you assist not the people you really like, so that yuo both could survive to settle your disputes later. It is like when a Solamnic and a heretic both arrive to reraid at Takhisis with defenders at the same time. Should they start fighting each other or smash the dragon together and hope to strike the last blow, thus assisting each other? I would pick the second and don't think it would be breaking role or something.
Sorry for all the 'blah-blah-blah'.  :)

Bacuha - only such battles make Solace somehow attractive.

not great battles - boring interaction with NPC

just try think more and try imagine how such battle could be in real fantazy world.

RP it s not - clan dont help other clans - it s bull sh*t from point of RP - Reistlin travelld with Mishakal priestesses - and?

I ask immortals and players - dont make RP just black and white and simple as bull sh*t.

i am bad you good i will kill you.

if i am necromancer why should nt i suddenly realize that i am wrong? and start help too goodies? then may be i will return to darkness...

Role engine should help with this - bad damn now it very hard to use.

chapters disappearing, Immortals can review role chapter for ages...

Dehucka, please, elaborate on the problems with role engine.
As far as I can see, roles are approved within 24 hours, and only chapters that disappear are those written in English we fail to comprehend.
Tell us about the problems (with examples preferably) and we'll use your feedback to make this world better  :)

Nuitari :)

Rialon and dehucka
I dont want to argue a lot and quote the log, Ill just explain where exactly I see the lack of RP. In few words I see that most people in this log were driven not by desires of their character and role, but by greed for "shinies" and efficacy. I dont believe that Solamnic knight would sacrifice his views for efficacy, no, he will not unite with his foe to strike Takhisis. As well as Heretic. Its not black-and-white, its just honest following the role not only when its funny or paying, but every single moment. Yes, Raistlin was traveling with priestess of Mishakal. Becouse magic was everything for him and he wanted to use her. But he also betrayed his beloved brother and all his friends, he lost his health. Would you betray you OOC-friend in-game becouse you are evil? Thats what I talk about - the important thing is not WHAT you are doing, but WHY are you doing this. To gain shinies and frags or to play a really interesting role? Its a question of conscience - noone can prove, why you act that way or another, so I dont want to argue any further.

some feedback about roles:

1. it can be much more easy if write it in "note" engine.
it will be safe for person and for immortals

2. may be it dont need so much control of roles - review, approve. let it be more simple - person write a note with role chapter and can act according with it.

so, main point of control should be - dont act strange for your role WITHOUT EXPLANATION IT IN NOTE B.E.F.O.R.E.!!!

so, white mage, you helped to draconian - wher s your explanation in role-note?

and for now it can be enough - later Immortals can strenghten control

i can see point for the most part...but main weakness of role engine is when good rp comes along, its rarely planned. Strange twists with white robe helping drac isn't usually thought out before hand, just happens...

about planning.

person should control that all his behaviour fit previous role description, if  he feel he gonna make something strange, wierd for his role (just need keep in mind your own role) then he need to post exaplanation, how it can be possible then start action...

Role for me is not only your behavior but some stories about yourself. If anything great happened to you, add it into your role. Share your pleasure with us.  :)
