First there was me, Solanis, Barrin. We chased you, urazial, alacrdaeil, and evaine out, Barrin left. Meld gone. You came back.

Second, yes, you did toad me twice. Shock, 2 SD and a Harbinger. Jesus Christ, Batman, did someone say double mana drain? You didn't however get close to killing me till my system had a siezure at the end. Again. No skill on your part. Did I mention the double mana drain?

Third, there has been me and you many times. In fact the very 8 power I whiffed on you and you ran was me and you. Siam showed up after you had already run.

Fourth, I have no doubt if you actually stuck around you could kill me. You do afterall have choke, aurawarp and succumb. However, until you do kill me without having to run to Glomdoring and grab friends, your opinions are the same old Celina opinions of someone who thinks she is good at combat while she has found a neat trick, but give it a couple more months and you will be complaining about SD combat just like you did, nihilist, geomancer, warrior, druid, cacophony... did I leave a guild out?


edit: Oh, you said warrior. Ninjakari!

Offer still stands. Bet you won't accept. smile.gif

edit: haha, i just actually read the full post. Evaine? No meld? Are we even talking about the same fight or are you making one up now. Just you? Oh man, gregori, no one believes you.

It was a yawn, Xenthos. You are right, my partner was fail and you killed my offense which I can't summon back without extreme power cost. I then sat there and let you both hit me for about 2 mins before I walked away.

Seriously though crucify spam, two crucifies? Thats spam, thats like saying crowcaw spam which happened around 4 or 5 times, or choke spam which happens nonstop at 3p. Calling a 7p move spam is ridiculous, its just not possible.

"Spam" would be "Omg, he just got off crucify, trigger it to fire again!" kind of thing. (You might want to mark edits when you make them after a few minutes though!) And sure it's possible, especially if you start getting more people. I've been hit with it 4 times straight in group fights before.

Also: I like to give (most) people a chance to get away, pinlocking isn't fun either. sad.gif Hooray for not using power on warrior power attacks.

Jut read the log again, Evaine was in the earlier fight that night in Faethorn. Pardon me for mixing up two fights in the same night 3 weeks ago.

Apparently you didn't read the post. I said Solanis was there, I also said Barrin was there, and you are right there was a meld, for all the good it did once you read protection, and raised brumetower, because Barrin stayed out of the fighting after the first few seconds and so no dissolve action happened. Meaning you got paralysed every 10 seconds.

So let's see... double banshees hitting for double mana drain, shieldstunning, hmm does anyone other than you find it skillful that you managed a toadcursed considering three of you were focused soley on me?


You scent at the air, your skilled nose picking up the faint traces of others in the surrounding area.
Scent: Maddoc -> An ancient silver-touched yew's glade. (6051) - Wasn't fighting
Scent: Barrin -> Amid flowering green. (5944) - was killed and then stayed out of the fighting
Scent: Celina -> Amid flowering green. (5944)
Scent: Urazial -> Amid flowering green. (5944)


Then Alacardael came back in, then Solanis showed up, so it was me and Solanis against you three, with some occasional meld paralysis.

No L- druid or anyone else. So before calling me out on misremembered facts, you may wish to make sure you know your own.

Luckily I perma-log. So I don't have to remember. I just have to dig up the log.


And I have no issue at all with sparring you. Like I said of course you will win. Choke + succumb + aurawarp + your fae. Come on.

Edit:: Oh yeah and this was actually the best part of the log

Yay for using completely broken (needing to be changed immediately) combinations.

So, what you are saying is that even with a full meld and equal numbers, you and your team failed horribly.

I'm going to give you and Rommy a super secret hint on how to deal with healers.

#trigger (^%w bows {his|her} head and closes {his|her} eyes, hooking {his|her} finger in a terrible wrenching motion as your insides twist and turn in a hideously contorted dance.$) {#echo MOVE AND CURE. AURAWARP!!!}

Works great, promise you.

What part of protection scroll + brumetower = full meld again?

Let me give you a hint. No part.

What part of me and Solanis against you, Urazial and Alacardael = equal numbers again?

Let me give you a hint. No part.

Also I am more than aware of how to deal with healers. It's quite amazing your ability to read things that I didn't say though. Keep it up.

Feel free to respond with more crap. I have better things to do then spend the next few hours teaching you hooked on phonics. So I will just watch and laugh when you come running to the forums crying about how SD are so horrible in the near future.

Edit:: Oh as a final hint.. This is what would be considered passive offense doing it all for you.

Note the 600 milliseconds of time it took to go from full mana to toadable with no active anything other than a blanknote.

But yeah, you got skillz.

Stop making fun of me sad.gif

I remember that, it was funny. I'm sitting there watching Gregori getting whacked/teamed (since I suck) so I run north and try to wisp Gregori out, then he resists my summons, as far as I remember. Run back in, he gets toaded, I kiss him, then I get stomped sad.gif

So I'm preetty sure that he got toaded twice because I kissed him and died, which meant it was 3v1 with no defenses for the second toad.

Also, at that stage Treant didn't have proper aurawarp curing so I wasn't eating reishi properly at the quoted bit of Gregori's log ( my mana went to zero in a matter of seconds sad.gif ).

Honestly, stop making excuses and then acting far superior than you actually are.

I'm sorry you don't understand what a "full demesne" is and how to use it to your advantage, and I'm sorry you have yet to figure out how to deal with brumetowers, and I'm sorry you don't know that 3v3 is actually quite even, and I'm sorry you don't know how to handle aurawarp, and I'm sorry your system bugs out on you...apparently often.

These are all fixable things. Maybe, instead of throwing an epic forums tantrum because you lost, you could do something about it.

I'm certainly not going to tell you to not bitch when you feel like it. I am, however, going to laugh in your face when you act like a toddler and deny that you are just as full of faults as the rest of us. Since when did you become some an accomplished combatant that you can make such sweeping judgments? Romero at least has some leg to stand on in that regard. Who's the last solid combatant you defeated and in what circumstances? I can say I beat Vathael 1v1 without aurawarp and half my fae dead, including pixie and redcap. Can you? No. And you know the best part? The people reading this thread may dislike you, they may dislike me, they may think this argument is stupid, they may think I'm the worst combatant in the game, but there is one inescapable elephant in the room. No one believes you are the great combatant you are making yourself out to be.

Even though I do complain when I feel the urge, at the end of the day I learn from the guilds I've been in and the long time I've been fighting and accept that sometimes I just lose. There are times when unfair mechanics are the cause of you or my defeat, but this wasn't one of them. You had the advantage and were outplayed. Deal with it.

And at the end of the day, it's text combat. You lost to someone you just don't like, and though your ego is apparently grievously injured. I promise you, you'll recover.

I was surged and prone with a broken leg so every time you used succumb I would heal mana instead of healing the broken leg to get up and put up an offense. sad.gif
