Yup, I now have @tar to store bashing targets, and @inf to store influencing targets.

I actually didn't consider splitting the variables as a solution for some reason. Thanks, Lendren.

You accidentally killed a guard and no one bothered to unenemy you? I was trying to test guards the other day, couldn't get them to attack me short of actually killing one, so we gave up.

Different-org-guard, I think.

Though she did say Commune, so eh. It shouldn't attack unless she got enemied. There's nothing in the logs about her getting enemied.

Probably was aggressive towards her after she hit it, and stayed aggressive towards her for a time (and then she died to them).

Guards can't attack their own org-members until that person becomes enemied. It's locked in the code after people used to force others to attack their own guards.

Whenever I want guards to attack me on the test server I have to kill one first to get enemied, heh.

Seems odd they'd react differently. I kicked a moon maiden and she called for help but nothing else. Scax or someone put two rapiers into her and same thing. I couldn't actually brand either of us enemies manually, so we stopped.

Right, that's how guards are coded to react now. They call for help but their attack script checks to see if the person is a member of their org and not enemied. They completely abort the attack if that condition is met.

So that's why I'm speculating it wasn't actually guards...

Oh, but do keep in mind we have Brennan and the Skeleton Council. Who do defend guards and don't have this check.

At level 76 they probably sting.

Guards don't attack, but other org loyals will assist the guard and freely attack. Brennan, for example, and possibly the other skeletons(?).

EDIT: Ninja'd

Yeah, it was just the skeletons (and probably Brennan, not sure) attacking me.

If it had been all of the guards, I would have been instantly annihilated.

Ah, that makes sense. Explains why Miakoda was beating on someone the other day too and we had to nymph her.

After so long hunting not-midbie-places, I have forgotten the tendency of people to kill corpse-buying denizens.

*is sad*

I even had someone kill the woman who buys basidion. It's not like she's just standing around in an easy bashing zone.

Y'know, I reaaaaally hate it when people spread rumours about Kial. It's just unfortunate and uncalled for

I just go hunt somewhere else, make a quick check to see if it's returned, and repeat as necessary until the denizen re-appears.

Nine times out of ten (in my experience), it's back before the first corpse has decayed. I suppose if they kill it right before you go to turn in the corpses, you're boned, but I don't know the exact comparative respawn rates. I've never yet been unable to turn in corpses, but I've seen Surtami and the Cook killed many times.

Because this totally isn't a waste of time by one person, a mark of cowardice for a second, and really high on my current to-do list.

If it's about what I think it is, I already dealt with it.

Revolt started while I'm just popping in on my laptop on bad, bad hotel internet. Considering everything I do has a 3 second lag at least before it goes through, I decided to just dip out instead of stick around for it, gah.

God I hate fighting revolts. Hate hate hate hate hate hate.

Fighting is NOT fun for me, I never know what's going on, I'm worse than useless and I can't even hit the feaking keys cause my hand are shaking so much. Now I've got to go for a walk to try to calm down cause I'm getting a headache and am this close to tears.

QFT.

Yeah. I'm calmer now.

I should have known better than to even try to do the fighting one. I should have just quietly logged off or something. But, I got all wrapped up in the excitement of the thing... and died four times within five minutes.
