Okay. Set up a 90 room demesne on the Isle of Spectres.

Random groups of novice-types come in, minor combat.

Morslade, Llexyn, Ravin, Stangmar, Marcalo come in, run us off.

Poof, they're gone, come back in, finish demesne.

I've died about 4 times by now, on principle of finishing.

Finished. Daevos comes in. Mess him up pretty good, of course I die.

Come back, say screw it, teleport to the novice-ish group and just hailstorm until I die. It was so funny, maybe the best time I've had since I started Mudding. I didn't kill anything, I didn't care...that just kicked ass.

And now I'm going to be powerblocked and probably GDF'ed.

I don't follow that at all. You setting up your demesne on the whole island was fun or you dying to Daevos and then yourself was fun?

Sure why not, it's fun action, not everyone panics at the thought of dying.

I have had lots of fun fighting in Lusternia, even when I wasn't the victor. I'm just unclear as to what part of this venture Aris found entertaining.

In Achaea, I hated to get involved in conflict and risk losing experience. I tried very hard to avoid being enemied to anyone or anything. Ironically, I made a combat system so I wouldn't have to fight (or at least die).

Why are you gettin Powerblocked and/or GDF'ed?

Maybe he meant that the novices were from New Celest... but if not, I don't see the reason why. These aren't Magi from Achaea, where you could get GDF'ed for saying a bad joke or not liking truffles.

Haaaa, that reminds me why I never liked being a Shallamite.

I'm confused by Aris' post.

And lets not bring up the magi insanity, even in Aetolia. I'm still scarred from my time as Fearion.

Maybe he over drew power to set up the demense?
