We killed TONS of evil, and lost very few people to PK's, and when we did,
it was to much higher level people. Despite that fact, my day sucked, and
here's why.

Sign on, looking to go on a kiling spree of murderers. Find one level 18
blood to kill who give Zak a new dillo coat... Hmm, just realized that Dhali
needs a dillo coat too.. Sorry about that.

Can't find anyone else. Decide to go hunt bugs with silent.

At level 35, I can barely kill one bug, with a fully buffed axe.

Mare can tank three and kill them all.

On HG, Jiomorti (very cool lvl 35 swordsman) was taking loot rights away
from Druss when he was 45.

Admitedly, I am not wearing any str, coord or axe mastery gloves right now,
so, I'm sure that has a little hand in it, but jeez, one olthoi? When I know
people on HG who smash things well below that? Time to power up today and
see what I can really do.

I die Three times in the LOD.

Not good.

Mare portals me to Lug Dungeon, I die there.

Go to Yanshi. Standing in town getting bombarded with Tells, my armor self 3
and my sheild both run out of mana. Now is a good time to get attacked.

Fire Unarmed Chick smashes you for 61 points of fire damage. Not a good way
to start a fight. Too low to heal, die.

Go back to lug citadel. Die again.

Go back to lug citadel, die again.

<sigh>

Work off vitae and start to buff my axe "You do not have all the comps to
cast that spell."

<Sigh>

Finally get rid of all my vitae.

We go to a PK lug citadel so Dhali can turn in some keys. There are a six
PK's there, and we smash them all. They Portal log, die or shuroz thiguz.
When they come back, we smash them again.

Well, actually, I stand and heal while the Dagger fighters and mages smash
them actually.

When I first enter, I get attacked by someone 2 levels higher than me. Just
two levels. Not that much.

He completly wrecks me so fast I have to go into heal mode immeditaly, He
says "Run Bitch" And I might as well, because I am taking greivous damage.
Dhali heals me a little bit, (I think) Mare starts showing him how broken
she is, Silent pokes many holes in him, and he runs. (i never ran. just
stood there and healed.)

I attack a couple other people and they do far more damage to me, than I to
them, and I have to heal A LOT.

Discouraging.

Run Bitch. Indeed.

The big red axe does do a nice job of smashing lugs though, so I feel good
about that.

I need to go buy comps, get mana stones, sell loot, mule, and get frikkin
prepared to be a HUNTER of men, not monsters.

Go to Yanshi and the place is crawling with PKs.

Despite the fact that I kill Deadly Pride (level 35) singlehanded, I still
don't have that good a time. (She is an unarmed robe wearer, and I have a
hollow weapon, she runs me up to the top of mule tower and I think, what a
glorious battle, and I hit her for 58 when she tries to imp me, then she
tries to jump off the tower and I hit her for dead.)

Green Knight fights me to a standtill and is 10 levels lower than me.
Pathetic.

I can;t stick to anyone even with an axe speed of 10.

I get trashtalked A LOT last night.

People messageing me calling me pathetic, others saying our group is weak,
even Deadly Pride who was nice after the fight said "I was totally unbuffed"

Fun Factor for last night? 100% A+ I don't think I have ever had so much fun
playing this game.

Frustration Factor for last night? Also 100% F- rarely have so many stupid
punks messaged me. Or have I been so disatisied with my character.

Sorry for my bad attitude last night, but it sucks to be 35 and feel like I
should just start over and choose one of the two real weapons of dark tide.
and Spec run, and take mana conversion. :-)

Tonight, I plan to learn how to imp my clothes, stock up on healing Potions,
kits, death items and learn how to lifestone recall in .5 seconds so no one
kills me. I'm also going to work on laughing it off when someone messages me
and tells me I'm weak. I'm also going to pull out my Str and Coord jewely
and go fight bugs for money again. Lets see how I do burning mana like I'm
SUPPOSED to be doing.

Side Note - I told Silent last night that I have changed my mind, that I
would not mind having a vassal. Mizu and I were talking, and he has always
role played my right hand. I have missed having him not be under me. Mizu
and I both asked Silent if he could pledge to me last night, and I did not
realize that he was under Chinook. I just meant that once the tree was
reorganized, or if Mizu was under Fletch or something, could he pledge to
me. I didn't mean to make Chinook lose a vassal. Sorry about that John. I
meant no harm. Once again last nights theme raised its head. I was THRILLED
to have Mizu pledge to me again. As I told Mizu, I feel whole again. I was
disturbed when I found out I had just taken him from Chinook.

Oh, list of people to always kill every time you se them

Green Night - nice guy as far as I can tell, but PK
Black Mans Revenge - every time he sees me he logs and calls me a fucker or
a bitch
Crank Addict - just a Pk
Kurt Cobain - just a pk
Hot Dog - same MO as Black Man's Revenge - always swears at me and logs
Illusion Knight II - annnoying little craphead. Kill him.

later
