Ankyrean Anguish - Aetolia-based RAGE

Moirean

Kinda makes me nostalgic for the early ones. Getting something stupid like 3rd place for killing butterflies and camping gnat swarms in the HG for 4 days as a level 80 with no arties....ah, memories.

...Fun memories, but that really kinda sucked, please let us never go back to that. :P

Can we get back on to rage and not complaining about the great hunt? Or split the topic?

I'm sorry for raging about the Great Hunt in the...raging thread...?

What is this thread even for? Every time there's more than 3 consecutive posts in this thread, 'quit talking about that and get back to rage'.

Nalor

@Toz 3 posts.. it was over 2 pages of the same thing.. If the GREAT Hunt is that big a deal then make a new topic for it, Someone before me said move on..

Also Rage should be just that, RAGE not a debate which turns into an arguement lol ..

Daskalos

I rage at non-moderators always trying to be all moderator type.

Erzsebet

Lol Xaanhal. >.>

I rage that I suck so hard at bashing that I -can't- bash Xaanhal without dying or running every other hit, despite being fairly heavily artifacted for bashing.

If this is gonna keep going, maybe start a new thread?

More RAGE plz.

@Daskalos from two pages ago!! .. And isn't Rivas a mod?

Daskalos

Rivas doesn't count, he's a ginger.

Rivas

He totally is (moderator AND a ginger), and he's a damned boyishly-charming and handsome one at that.


That quote, from two pages ago, was in reference to the lesser/PK/autocuring discussion that had cropped up amongst a healthy smattering of RAGEs. This Great Hunt stuff popped up afterwards. There's always raging in response to Great Hunts, and (this new globe snag notwithstanding) it's usually the same RAGEs as the last time, and the time before, and the time before. I imagine @Daskalos, @Moirean and @Alexina probably have pre-written arguments on Notepad files that they saved from the last few "you're too artifacted to compete it's not fair you guys aaaaaaaaalways win" discussions.

Personally, I don't pop in and tell people to move along unless it's an interesting topic deserving of its own discussion, people are speaking in circles and not saying anything new, or if people are getting particularly snarky and personal at each other. None of those have really happened yet, so it's still a valid discussion.


...but yeah, it's a valid discussion that's getting a bit old. This isn't a MOVE ALONG, it's more of a WRAP IT UP, LAST CALL FOR DRINKS.

Right on the back of telling Haven to buck up and keep copies of his system, Mudlet arbitrarily wiped my settings overnight and my only backup is from April last year.

It may surprise you lot to hear that a system is useful in the Pools, but I put a lot of time into my building and mapping aliases and MXP menus.

Daskalos

If I understand, mudlet has auto backups -- Irruel or Kaeus might be able to help you?

I feel your pain!

Toz

I use dropbox to store all of my system things. Hopefully nothing blows up there

Moirean

I get paranoid about my settings vanishing, so I have a ton of manually made backups, all named a variety of increasingly colorful things, based on how irked I have become with the code I'm working on. My favorite is from january: moi_1_14_this_unicornsing_bunny_piece_of_fluffy_snuggly_rainbows_arg

Haven

I installed a plugin that autobacks up all my files in my world folder daily. And as a backup to a backup, I've started taking up emailing my system to myself. ;_; so much work but I don't want a repeat. Thankfully, I've my system on these forums too so I at least have the defensive portion tucked neatly away.

Hadoryu

Y'all need source control.

Maghak

Putting my system on Github would probably constitute a breach of NDA. I keep my backups in Dropbox indexed by date, but it's been awhile since I felt it necessary to store one. Oh well, I now have a project for the weekend.

Nalor

@Maghak .. look for - C:\Users\(name)\.config\mudlet\profiles -

The name being the 'name' of your Windows profile.. That should bring up folders and find the folder which your mudlet profile login eg Admin Aetolia  .. Then when you found that the folder in that called 'current' should have dated backups ..

That is, of course, assuming you're running windows.

You run CMud? -.- Damn man... don't you ever lag on that at all? I ran ZMud for years and i couldn't do large group fights cause it would lag so bad....

you know I use the html client right? I do team fights and everything on google chrome, not a standalone client.

Yes, and I've used the html client when i occasionally play from work. And i absolutely hate it, way too much lag. I have no clue how you do it.

You stand within your guildhall, idly sharpening your blades with a spare whetstone. Satisfied, having perfected a point on one, you progress to the next and smile warmly as you think of saving a threatened orphan with these new edges. Suddenly, a confused novice of your guild wanders into your room and accidentally bumps into you, sending a blade from your hands to the floor with a resounding clatter. The youth gives a frightened squeak and frantically attempts to apologize as you turn to look at him. With a soft smile, you advise him to be more careful and allow him leave of your presence.

Not to sound insincere buuuut why didnt you just writhe and smack him for biting you without buying you a drink first?

Rowena

It was a dick thing Maldoror did, even if a sleeping lighter is easy prey. Still a dick move. 

It was pretty obvious Calipso was joking though, no need to downvote her into oblivion. 

Calipso

jeez chill people...

Aelysia

I turned off firstaid so it'd let me sleep (because it wakes me up otherwise) and decided to browse the forums while waiting. I came back just as I was about to die and didn't have the reactions to turn it on quickly enough again. I felt annoyed because I've never talked to him. There's literally never ever been any interaction between our characters, before or after he killed me. I get that vampires are supposed to be evil and all, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating when people kill you completely out of the blue.

Moirean

Rage that a certain someone has decided to make themselves the Great Hunt police and follow me around icewalling exits and stuff to stop my "obvious cheating." Apparently, the only way someone can get high points is through some sort of cheat, and so now I'm being harassed to "keep things fair."

The over-exaggeration of Moirean once again, but to be clear, simply placing an icewall to see if someone, whom several have already claimed has been suspiciously mindless when they have attempted to communicate or approach her during the event, and then instantly removing it when it was shown she is currently not, does -not- qualify as "constant harassment by constantly icewalling and constantly following me around". It's an event with strict rules and a history of certain players and people abusing it by being mindless. Frankly the way you instantly became defensive and not to mention aggressive would make me assume you are infact hiding something but as I said the -one- test that happened showed you arent.

Stop whining and exaggerating and move on please.

It is harrashing her, IF you think shes mindless the Issue her..  Just because She has alot of points.

Also, If you are going to issue her, Issue me too for doing this hunt with my tells off so I don't have to put up with talking with people.

Rashar

I wonder at the person who considers it their duty to police up the participants of such an event.

That's almost as laughable as random people trying to moderate forums, especially ones who are frequently guilty of the things they are trying to stifle.

Calipso

Certain people that are harassing players with threats of violence and bad treatment for knowing other players or speaking with them. Sometimes I wonder why they are allowed to get away with such toxic behavior.
