You are aware the length of balance that comes from Chopping, yes? Plus you're able to NATURE BLEND which completely confounds my ability to see when you enter. There are a number of things you can utilize to trick me and pin me down long enough for the other Seren's to assist in pinning me down. It's happened before.


It's hard for me to do much of anything on prime when I have to hold my demesne in EtherSeren, I'm really useless outside my meld...

(I'm rather useless either way, unless I manage to somehow get somebody one on one in an already set up meld, with my opponent caught without a cleanse enchant... but I'm working on it!)

What about Lehki? Or Ixion? There are plenty of other King candidates too.

Pretty much everything I've done was in response to Urazial or Nienla's raids. ):

It's alright. I heard about your "swift vengeance" biggrin.gif

Tit for tat, really. It's going to be annoying replanting those trees, especially since I had the oppurtunity to cut down many moonhart elders but only chopped down two out of the kindness in my heart. sad.gif

I see you doing it when they're not even around, so... yeah. Not buying it.

Besides, you also used to do it when you were active previously, before the inactive time. It's just what you enjoy, heh. No need to blame others.

The ravenwoods you mean? Yeah 'cus, I can just go make them revert to chop whenever I feel like it. D:

No, I mean your entire pattern of behaviour (which includes that, but is not limited to it). Like I said, it hasn't changed-- all that did was your activity. No need to place the blame on others!

I used to chop down ravenwoods once in awhile I'll admit, and I dicked around a lot a few days ago because I have a pretty serenbix now. Aside from that I really can't recall doing much of any kick and run stuff.

"Now and then" being "relatively frequently". tongue.gif But yes. Like I said, that's a part of the whole.

There was like 10 in a perfect row, how could I not chop them all down? D:

I still think that hardly qualifies me as King. ):

The same way that Nienla didn't chop down all the other Elders she saw when she was in Seren and got those two?

She's done a few more then two, anyway. There was just two today.

Out of a larger number more, yes. You asked how you could resist. I pointed out that others are (were?) somehow able to restrain themselves, heh.

Xenthos I doubt your comprehension of hit and run raids. The only hit and run type of thing I do against Glom is tree chopping, simply because it's easier than watching the flow spam to my location while I move to my next mulching.

Anyhow, to recap for the rest reading without the backstory.
-Sadhyra/Chade raid in EthWilde against 1-2 plus a couple more nubs. Some Serens die.
-Ethelon and I come and pop Sadhyra, Chade runs successfully.
-Sadhyra/Chade/Ishant/othernub rage and kill Marie essence bashing on Earth.
-I decide to stick around to 1v1 Nienla on faethorn in a gm duel. She runs/climbs/flies endlessly; I opt to tumble/move 1 room out of choke a bunch of times. We each tell our allies to back off so we can have our fun, she DCs so that kinda ends that- tried to continue but Glom kiddos joined in.
-Seren/Ethelon/I "zerg" Sadhyra who dies after firing, Nienla and Narynth drop too.

It comes and goes. I'm sorry but that's really Lusternian combat now. If you're serious about having gm fights, prep it by having both sides ask their allies to stay back. If you don't do that, expect any and everyone to jump to defend or jump at the chance to kill enemies. Fun 1v5 type of fights died with the advent of bards and monks.

Also, laugh.gif

Which... would be hit and run raids. Especially when it is done over. And over. And over. Ixion in, tree falls, Ixion out.

That is the definition of a hit-and-run raid, heh.

Like I said, if you enjoy it, so be it. Just don't blame it on other people. You have to enjoy it on some level to be able to keep doing it.

Take a look when I do it. Notice it's almost always do it after a DL raid or something akin to an overkill on a semi-nub just hunting essence? Probably not. You don't see me complaining about Urazial's kick 'n run raids on earth, which is coming close to old Narsrim status.. well at least he dies like 50% of the time laugh.gif

Usually when I notice you doing it is... when you feel like it. Which is every couple of days, whether you had provocation or not.

Kick and run raids are kick and run raids, but don't bother blaming someone else for "making" you do something you enjoy.

I was really just being silly with the comment, but okay, doesn't really come across well in text.

I've only chopped three elders to be fair.

The rest I've chopped were just mature trees which.. are fairly simple to regrow.

I'm going to call bull censor.gif . Back when Glomdoring and Serenwilde were still "allied", you made a habit of chopping their elders down in the AM hours despite Serenwilde reaching a point where they no longer assisted with DL raids. Don't try to justify your offhours with that lame excuse, because its completely invalid.
