It's not perma-webbing, as Murphy's log shows.
Narsrim2005-09-04 00:49:05
What's next? Faerie fire is too powerful?
Narsrim2005-09-04 00:49:40
And how is this a "mini" rant on size... I'd think it is just the opposite. Magnagorans confuse me.
Murphy2005-09-04 01:19:42
ceres you are an utter idiot.

I use every facet of bonecrusher offence available to me, including mangle, knockdown, wing braking wrists and arms, burstorgans concussion bashbrain. I use it better than anyone has ever used it before.

As for my race, I happen to have deleoped RP around being an orclach, so no its not the best race for fighting, but at least i HAVE some rp, and I perfect my chosen art of combat, rather than just guild skipping, whoring out everyone elses cheap moves that they have come up with, very poorly might I add.


Your log doesn't show any killing with wounds there, I see me bleeding to death when I was still earning to fight, oh that log is about 3 or 4 months old at least by the way.

Not only that ceres, but you haven't performed consistenly well in all your classes, you've performed average, following everyone elses cheap moves, I haven't once seen you come up with your own tactic, or perfect ANYTHING you've tried, ever.

You still do'nt undderstand, I said to thorgal WEB ME AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN OVER AND OVER WHILE I STAND THERE so i could get timestamps.

also, you were enlarging, after you inqiusitioned me, and FAILED to kill me, i got away though water, and then every time i came to attack you in forest, you enlarged so i would move away. Ceres, you SUCK at fighting, you are lusternia's running joke as a combatant.

You also have little to none RP, switching around guilds to what you think is overpowered this month in your attempt to powergame, and gain any advantage you can but the difference is, you're still censor.gif, you can't stick with anything, and once you get over your use of other peoples tricks, you have nothing to rely on, you're combat talent is shallow. try sticking to a class. I'll note AGAIN that you weren't a good bonecrusher, and I never saw you kill anyone good with burstorgans or bashbrain, I myself have killed alger terenas daevos narsrim and thorgal (i think? can't quite remember i don't have a log) with bashbrains and I've also killed alger terenas and a few others with burstorgans. I have set to see YOU pull off ANY kill which requires a little bit of effort.

Too bad you can wield your ego, that's gotta be like 250/175/175.

To be quite honest, I think you opted to pick a race that afforded you the chance to complain anytime something goes wrong ("you didn't lose because your opponent was better, you lost because you like to RP and your race just isn't that good"). It is starting to get old and you need a new excuse.

Furthermore, I find it disheartening that you tell other people to "suck it up" and then rant about everything that can stop you. We've gotten to the point where enlarge is now "too powerful" because it provides an effective means to slow you down when combined with web. It is a creative tactic, and while it may be vastly hindering to you, it isn't "lesser" than any ability you use.

As for Ceres being a "sucky" combatant, I would like to remind you of "Murphy Rules."

Murphy will not find against someone who:

1. Uses enlarge
2. Uses web to slow him down (and if you do, he whines)
3. Has 6 hexes drawn in a room
4. Uses dark moon
5. strips defenses
6. etc

And finally, Ceres is an evil bitch (this isn't an insult, she loves it). That's her RP exactly... she is a self serving, manipulative person who exists to see herself rise to power through whatever means she can. Quite honestly, I think she pulls off the role nicely and is quite uniform. She reminds me of someone who was on the Spanish Inquisition (except she has a side job as a pirate), honestly. They were wicked people who claimed the "Light" to be on their side while they literally murdered people. She's corrupt... and she embraces it.

And even though it pains me to say it, Ceres actually did kill me once as a Paladin with burst organs *mutter*

----------------------

I love you, Murphy, but stop with the double standards. You tried to argue that me being knocked off balanced for over 60 seconds with ectoplasm was perfectly fine and now enlarge is too powerful.

Ceres is one of the biggest jokes in combat currently, and if she killed you Narsrim, it must have been a BAD day on your part or you were AFK like most of the people she actually does kill. Aside from that point, her being an evil bitch is infact her refusal to RP and is just how she is OOC, which she brings IC. If you don't believe me, do as I did, say something about one of her friends on AIM and watch her take it out on you IC.

Ok a few points in my defense. Firstly 250-175-175 are crappy stats, and only for damage whores, 140-280-180 would be better for the skilled crusher.

My race has 2 very distinct disabilities, the first being the current state of size and how it affects writhe, why should it affect me more than an aslaran or faeling? their offence doiesn't hold any more potential than mine, its not fair. The other is int, which for the most part I take on the chin except for the odd occaision where I cop a really quick toadcurse or absolve, which generally censor.gif s me and i piss and moan about it, pet hate.

for the most part, i don't use surge at all, but thats ok vs other knights cause i'm tanky against physical to make up for it.

I don't mind being webwhored at a reasonable manner, there's a difference between slowing me down and stopping me completely, I draw the line at stopping me completely, as a mugwump is capable of doing so with its rediculously fast eq or an aslaran with hangedman.

As far as Murphy rules go, I consider it smart combat (and it works) to not be in a room where there are 6 hexes drawn, and its also smart combat to not be in a room that has carcer up with rubble when fighting someone with soulless, especially since my tumble time is so slow. You think I should just sit there and try to cure my way out of doublewhammy aeon anorexia asthma, with you tossing hexes to disrupt my focus mind curing on anorexia? That's rediculous hexes weakness are they have to be drawn in ONE LOCATION, so i use that weakness to not get smashed by them

Stripping defences is universally lame, which dark moon does, everyone knows its lame, like killing your fae over and over (which you'll notice i DONT do)

The murphy rules, are more murphy terms of combat. If you use enlarge and web on me, or you start stripping my defences I will take the steps required to stop that from happening, and yes i will move away from such a situation, I won't deny you a spar because of it, I will however not accept spars if they aren't enjoyable, if you wanna whore out those cheap tactics, come jump me sometime, Ceres found out what happened last time she tried that.

The only thing I have a major major problem with, which I wont even bother to fight with is enlargement plus aslaran speed hanged-man. There is physically nothing I can do against it, as they get balance back before I unwrithe, allowing them to permaweb me with relative ease, a newbie can do it and I play this game for enjoyment, not to get aggrivated. When it stops being semi-enjoyable I tend to take a month holiday on achaea, dust off my old grook monk.

Finally, I find it disturbing to be told by another man that he loves me. Don't go there, lest I cut you in places that'll make you useless to a woman (or a man, whatever floats your boat)

EDIT: Watch your language. ~Shiri~

The art to web or hangedman as a mugwump or aslaran isn't to spam it fast enough to keep them entangled, the difficulty is to not web before they writhed free.

Since a mugwump will regain equilibrium long before you writhed free, and an aslaran will regain balance long before you writhed free.

But see, this is why there's summer and tipheret.
Murphy2005-09-04 11:20:15
summer and tiph don't help much at all with a lvl 1 slow eq, stupid orclach
Murphy2005-09-04 11:28:14
seems the answer here is to change race if its not fixed in the next round of envoys, which is a shame

You need to host a paint image of that "I like pie" thing Rauros did on a site somewhere and start posting random to it in the middle of your posts for no readily apparent reason.
Ceres2005-09-04 15:34:25
Murphy will not fight me if I:

Am on water
Have Enigma up
Have Wrath up
Enlarge
Hangedman
Heretic
Web
Amissio
Hit back
Murphy2005-09-04 15:37:10
wrong ceres.

i will fight you with:

Have Enigma up
Have Wrath up
Hangedman
Heretic
Web
Amissio
Hit back

I wont however sit there and be elarged, and yes I will wear down your enigma and wrath with shield, its the best tactic against it. i will also ghost to avoid inquisition where needed, as its also the best defence.

You are one sad man, Murph.
Murphy2005-09-04 15:59:04
what you think i'm gonna let you sit there and use the full force of enigma and wrath? i'm a smart fighter ceres, i'm not an idiot who lets people rip their full offence on me
Ceres2005-09-04 16:04:43
That's just the last straw. Our spars are going up.
Murphy2005-09-04 16:10:24
ooo waaa! i said to post em, so do it not like I care. I think you are also lame on another level for abusing the arena to def up
