The luxery of some nice armor

[Dwarven Empath]

Another near death, saved by my breastplate

A war griffin swoops down over you, buffeting you with its wings!
One of the griffin's wings swats the side of your head with a stinging blow, and you reel as stars appear before your eyes!
Roundtime: 10 sec.

A war griffin opens its mouth and releases a shrill screech!
A greater construct ignores the terrible screech!
A twinge of fear starts to rise in your stomach, but you control the instinctive urge to freeze.

A greater construct swings its arms together in an attempt to trap you! Encircled by the two massive arms, you are unable to slip out and are crushed between them.
... 26 points of damage!
Hard strike to your right leg breaking tendons and bone!
You are knocked to the ground!
You are stunned for 6 rounds!

[Old Ta'Faendryl, Market Road]
The road moves north and south between broken mounds of dirt and stone that mark out a boundary along the edges of two wide plazas on either side of the road. Unusually straight cracks and an occasional gleam of grey peeping through the dirt indicates the presence of cracked granite blocks buried beneath the soil. You also see a greater construct, a curved silvery blade, a twisted crystal-tipped staff, a curved silvery blade, a war griffin that is flying around, the Medi disk, a twisted crystal-tipped staff, a curved silvery blade and a gleaming steel broadsword.

Stats on the armor

[Iriscience]

That's not impressive at all.

[AnticorRifling]

It's 3x exceptionally damage padded leather breastplate.

When the cost saved on deeds is greater than the value of the armor, then you have won.

- Arkans

[Artha]

When the cost saved on deeds is greater than the value of the armor, then you have won.

When the cost saved on deeds, herbs, empath tips and time/convenience is greater than the value of the armor, then you have won.

[Makkah]

When you all STFU and respect good armor, then I've won.

That would be forever for me. I never use herbs, I never tip empaths or clerics.

[StrayRogue]

Heh, my old armor. I think I wore it once.

Psh, having good armor is the difference between dying, and staying in the hunting area longer. Good armor is more important than a decent shield or weapon, for a square atleast. Plus, you've got no chance of losing it via curse or disarm.

[Hulkein]

I always felt that good armor was one of the few items in the game that was really worth it.

[Xcalibur]

Armors imply that you'll get hit, a shield/weapon doesn't imply that.

You're a fucking retard. How have you been allowed to produce offspring?

[Xcalibur]

How am I a retard? Because you're too dumb to understand what I'm saying?

[StrayRogue]

No, because you can't speak a very basic language.

[Xcalibur]

Basic ? Since when english is a basic language? By the way, how many languages do you speak?

And if I follow your logic, 90% of the earth's population shouldn't reproduce since they don't speak english.

Man, you're so stupid, it hurts.

[Edited on 27-3-05 by Xcalibur]

How many do you speak, X?

[Xcalibur]

More than 1.

And retards cannot speak more than 1 language.

I want an exact number.

There's no club.

Strayrogue is just using that poor excuse over and over since it has nothing else to say.

[Bobmuhthol]

Just be a warrior and you won't need to have good armor. Your skin becomes the armor.

Or be a sorcerer and rarely get hit.

- Arkans

[Xcalibur]

That, and the fact that you can stance dance in gs.

[Artha]

Or be a rogue and never get swung at.

[Xcalibur]

Or be a semi and just hope you won't get hit because it's a death 50% of the time.

Stance dance should have a RT associated to it:(

Or be a paladin and just sux.. oups..:lol:

Or best of all, be an Empath and never hunt.

This is so far from the truth. A warrior can hit a pure without question like level, and a good percentage when at a significant level disadvantage.

You cannot just swing when you're a square.

You need some basic strategies otherwise you'll be like that idiot with a big family (father of anticor)

Remember him? He thought you just had to swing.

:rolleyes:

[StrayRogue]

Can you explain please Edaarin, because I don't think Xcalidoof knows the English version of it.

Then I've not been playing the same game as you :(

- Arkans

[Edaarin]

If I remember right, hypocrit roughly translates to "fake." Hypocrite is stronger in English, which I'm assuming you know.

Warriors can use mblow, rogues can ambush.

Heh, thats a pretty big difference, IMO.

[Dwarven Empath]

sheesh....my point is armor is good, yah weps and shield is good too, but

when your laying down in offense, its nice to have good armor.

Medi...empath

[GSTamral]

Well, let's see then, using Artha's point.

I bought my 8x masterful damage padded plate before the armor changes in 97 for 25 million silver.

I've probably saved between 80-100 deeds, at about an average of 5-7k per deed. Total savings, about 500k. Empath savings maybe another 500k.

Total winnings from the kill the Tamral contest, which only three people (reife, some mage, and gaq) won, about 1M.

Total winnings from side bets on that contest - 40-50M.

So does that mean I'm up?

[Xcalibur]

Totally

But that happens like 1 time out of 1000 combat.

The normality is

Monster attack

stance def

Monster miss

stance off

[GSTamral]

Strayrogue, you always should keep X's inferiority complex in tow when trying to reason with him. He's from quebec, where they speak primarily French. Thus they are tainted by the lameness of France.

There are only two things those types are good for:

1) Getting invaded
2) Surrendering.

[Xcalibur]

But he's from the UK, and the UK were only good at being the master of the world and losing all their possessions. Thereafter, becoming the shadow of many of those "old" possessions.

:socool:

[Edited on 28-3-05 by Xcalibur]

[Edaarin]

I don't know, I'm a pretty big fan of brie and most other French cheese...but I don't know how good Canadian cheese is.

[GSTamral]

X, last time the British and French went directly to war, there was a clear winner. And it wasn't the French.

The French allied themselves with the native Indians in America, and combined they couldn't win. In fact, even in WW2, it wasn't until France had surrendered from the alliance and washed their own lame asses away from the allies, that the allies were able to win.

[Xcalibur]

Any country in France's position in WW2 would had lost as the Nazi were completely ahead in their time.

And France's prime period wasn't in the last second millenium, was rather in the middle.

What can I say beside: blame them.

Ain't my motherland still.

[Syberus]

The only time France didn't blow is when they were led by an Italian

[Xcalibur]

How about Japan?

[Syberus]

What the hell does Japan have to do with how shitty France is militarily? Or how horrible your grasp of the English language is?

The only war France won was the French revolution. The sad part is, they were fighting themselves.

- Arkans

[Xcalibur]

Because Japan is held highly in many's standarts here.

Yet, their military history is full of horrors/losts.

France is part of the old school that is Europe.

Most europeen countries are just arrogant because of their histories, ever heard of Grece that got their true independance only in the 19th century?

Japan is held very lowly in my eyes. Watch Lost in Transation.

I remember something about the US making carnage in their own land against their own people because of a small difference of concepts (something about slavery, mostly).

France's revolution was more than that, dude, it was the begining of the end of the monarchy for most countries.

[Syberus]

Yea because Japan isn't a bunch of pussies and they have an economy that is worth a shit. I sure as hell didn't see any french people flying planes into shit. And yes, I've heard of the Greeks, their stand against the Persian empire is the reason democracy survived and is around today, what has France ever done for the world? And if you say invented the ambulance I will laugh at you.

[Xcalibur]

No, they made a revolution in 1789 and helped (saved) the US into becoming independent.

Otherwise the US would had lost the independence war.

And many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many other things

X, you really don't understand much about the American Civil War (expected). Let me educate you.

The war was not fought mostly because of slavery. It was because the South wanted more state's rights so they could regulate taxes and tariffs that were really making southern economy suffer. Slavery was a back drop, if anything.

That is really the basic and bare bones reasons of our civil war.

- Arkans

[Xcalibur]

I added a "s" to concepts for a reason. I still ain't an expert about the US's civil war. Still, it was a war of a country split in half for reasons that was totally stupid.

So anyone from that said country cannot judge another country that did around the same mistakes.

[Edaarin]

Greece has Thermopylae.

By contrast, France has Dien Bien Phu.

Which is the better country?

[Syberus]

Many things... yet you have no examples other than a flimsy attempt to say the French did something productive during the revolutionary war. Also, please explain how the French Independance movement in 1789 helped us win the revolutionary war that was in 1776? TIME MACHINEZ?!

Xcalibur, a difference in cultuaral and governmental views is hardly a stupid reason for a war.

- Arkans

[Xcalibur]

There was an "and".

I eat sushi and I left my home after.

Does that mean that eating sushi made me left my home?

Put the sentence backward: They helped (saved) the us becoming independent AND did a revolution in 1789 that changed the way politics was held thereafter.

SO that would justify, I think, every damn country into spliting themselves in half and waging war against the other part.

Last I remember, Bush won his election by a slight majority.

Does that allow the other half to take arms and wage war against the others?

The US did one of the stupidiest thing ever made in the history of mankind, and they did it LATELY.

Firstly I thought this was X's post at first and was amazed by the fact he spelled Thermopylae right, until I realized it wasn't him. I have no idea what the French thing is, unfortunatly, but judging a country's worth on the basis of one fight or battle seems a little silly.

[Xcalibur]

And the US got Vietnam?

US thought they could be better than France in that region and failed too.

Still, they had the best weaponry available.

I chose those two specific examples because I thought they exemplified each country's actions during war rather well.

Thermopylae -- 300 Spartans, tens of thousands of Persians. The Spartans, led by Leonidas, managed to hold their own in a gap against ridiculous odds to allow their allies to retreat, but were slaughtered to a man.

Dien Bien Phu -- French troops with superior supplies, training, and equipment get routed by Viet guerrillas with no formal war training.

Losing an election and what happened back then is completely different, X.

- Arkans

[Edaarin]

And for the record, the United States did infinitely better than the French in Vietnam. They had completely different reasons to be there, one to aid in freedom (supposedly) and the other to maintain control of a group of people.

Keep in mind that even in the Tet Offensve, the Americans still inflicted well over 3x the number of casualties against the Vietnamese than the other way around.

[Xcalibur]

US with their big arrogant attitude and their big guns came and tried to show the world how the REAL thing is.

They lost.

I think Edaarin was trying to show something along those lines.

I don't have any specific battle name though about US vs Viets.

Are we looking at length of conflict too? Off the top of my head I'm remembering vaguely 50-60,000 dead and around 200,000 wounded Americans in the entire conflict. I have no idea what the hell France's numbers were, or how long they were there. But that doesn't negate all the other losses you've had in the past.

Leaving != conquered.

Withdrawing from a War in which you won the vast majority of battles in != conquered or lost

X spouting random shit and jumping from topic to topic != Intelligence.

[Xcalibur]

YOU?

I have ZERO percentage of blood in my vein that is latin based.

I am bashed because I happen to have as my first language the same one as that country's.


The US thought they could teach how a REAL country wage a war. They completely failed.

Or you could ask around with the members of these boards who he solicits for cyber sex and to come visit him. He gets unusually upset about that and what a wonderful marriage he has.

But that's what France did TOO!

They did the same damn thing as the US. THEY LEFT BEFORE IT WAS TOO HARD TO CONTROL!

How's different?

[Syberus]

I'm done with this circular logic and stupid bullshit. Have fun being deluded X.

Have fun thinking the US are noble while others are simply crappy countries.

[Syberus]

Ok X lets assume that the US got their asses handed to them in Vietnam for your sake just so you'll shut the fuck up about it. How in any way shape or form does that make France not suck dick? Let me know when you figure that out. BTW saying that we can't say you suck because we lost is a logical Fallacy.

[Xcalibur]

Going to sleep, we'll check that out in 3-4 days.

See ya and by the way, cut the insult, we can debate (trully or not) and still be good.

Or so Socrate saids something along those lines:thumbsup:

[Syberus]

Actually I've been trying very hard to not insult you.

[AnticorRifling]

Take it elsewhere. Make a topic about whatever it is you're all going on about this was(until it got the ever living shit derailed out of it) a thread about your good armor saving your ass in a hunt. If you've got shots/logs of surviving where you should have died due to your armor or gear post it up, if not please proceed to shut the hell up.

I cannot believe that you still deny that you're Emo :lol:

WTF? C'mon, I let myself be open for free range shooting on the gay thing. You completely blew it :(

- Arkans

EMO != GAY

[Syberus]

I don't have any shots offhand, but I hardly ever take more than a minor in my armor when I get call winded in front of a swarm in OTF. It's saved my ass a million times, the bloodloss still sucks, but hardly ever getting stunned, and being able to take 175 endrolls for a minor is a life saver.

An Ithzir scout's voice sounds as if he is speaking through a long metal tube as he cocks his head, saying, "Pa letthe, isonna ytrak ka patrabi maktali cra!"
The Ithzir scout laughs.

[AnticorRifling]

Ohh I still want.

Yah but I want it more!

[Dwarven Empath]
