Ice spirals and swirls about you along passages leading off in several directions. Ancient runes and symbols are etched deep into the frozen walls, though their significance is indecipherable. You also see a snow spectre, a leather helm, a woven cloak, a leather helm, a woven cloak and a black altar.

You see Raibanog.
He appears to be a Sylvankind of the Tyesteron D'ahranal.
He appears to be very young and very tall. He has brooding hazel eyes and golden brown skin. He has very long, unkempt grey hair. He has a gaunt face, a crooked nose and long pointed ears.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a whalebone arrow in his right hand and a deringo short bow in his left hand.
He is wearing a crystal amulet, a tailored light green kerchief, a green wool greatcloak, a dusty ebony kilt, a polished pewter pinky ring, a pure white leather wrist sheath, a large cloth sack, a black leather tool kit, some reinforced fitted white leathers, a pair of forest green shoes, a back quiver, and a platinum etched wedding band.

Raibanog's group just went south.

[StrayRogue]

Probably using my old script, lol.

[mgoddess]

At least the Raibanog dude knew what was happening...

[HarmNone]

That looks to me like a very new player trying to learn. I think Raibanog was probably trying to help her hunt and gain experience, while learning to play the game. Hopefully, she learned something from this experience. It's obviously going to take her some time to get with the program.

[Ignot]

I dont think she learned crap from that, choppin her limbs off probably would have sent a clear message.

[Shari]

Well, how new could she be. What level are those things, like 5? She should know better than that by then.

[Olanan]

A missing limb would give her the message x50 what any warnings could do.

[Drew]

Well, how new could she be. What level are those things, like 5? She should know better than that by then.


Level 9 actually, somewhat unbelievably.

[Bobmuhthol]

I would guess a level 4-5 warrior. You can make that experience in a day and still not know anything about etiquette.

[Celephais]

You should just try typing attack or kill.... using two letters to target a monster is poor ettiquette if you ask me. What if someone came in where there name started with sp?

(This is a pet peeve of mine... had someone attack me repeatedly early in my gs career because they would type "Kill k" to fight kobolds, and refused to change)

[Nilandia]

Even worse, I remember seeing a character named Kobold. Poor guy. Must have gotten hit a lot. :lol:

Gretchen

[Things2Come]

I hate it when a group comes through and there is one person in the group that always ends up poaching.

A well timed 435 solves that problem though.

[Kainen]

I had someone leading a group that would do it to me regardless of how many times I said something.. so I left some cursed gems lying around. Took care of that. :D

[FinisWolf]

Highlighting " Also here: " helps see folks too. I know in your beginning time in GS, all the text flying by is a bit overwhelming, and thats one tool I use to see folks.

Finis

Edited to add: It also helps see disks in the room, so you won't thump a critter in a room with an ambusher.

[Dwarven Empath]

Yah probably a newbie, shrug it off. Unless it happens again. Then kill, laugh and move to the next room.

Hah, I remember a guy named Wighay in icemule thinking "I AM NOT A WIGHT!"

I'd think she's probably very new to the game too and cut her some slack. It can get really confusing and frustrating at first with all the text flying by. I know when my first character was little, the first time I was in a hunting area with someone else, I attacked their critter three times. After that, I highlighted the "Also here", which helped a lot.

[Sean of the Thread]

You should just try typing attack or kill.... using two letters to target a monster is poor ettiquette if you ask me. What if someone came in where there name started with sp?

(This is a pet peeve of mine... had someone attack me repeatedly early in my gs career because they would type "Kill k" to fight kobolds, and refused to change)


Poor ettiquette? Give me a fucking break.

[Ignot]

I agree you should use at least 3 letters when attacking but really, everyone should be using macros anyways or else your just retarded.

Word.

[Bobmuhthol]

No, I think you'd have to be pretty retarded to have a "kill" macro. It's 4 letters.

[Sean of the Thread]

Pretty retarded not to have anything you're hunting macro'd.

[Bobmuhthol]

...

Again, "kill" is 4 letters, and is all you need to hunt.

[Sean of the Thread]

Macros ftw.

[Leetahkin]

I don't have a script for swinging at critters.
I DO have a script for casting at a critter, to automatically search them after. I learned real quick in the cemetary that it was needed.

I also have a script to skin and loot a critter, and a script to pick up loot.

Granted, I have NEVER used a script for these things before two weeks ago.
Yes, I always typed everything. Which is why I'd have wrist pain from time to time. :D

Oh, and she is a healer. She asked for a cleanup when my healer was in the room, but she got ignored.
Hopefully the person with her sat her down and taught her some things with hunting.

I don't know 9 years ago I Major Fired a Trolkin who was leading our party against Hill Trolls. I did a nice job killing him. At that time I never heard of macros.

[Celephais]

Poor ettiquette? Give me a fucking break.

Yeah poor etiquette is probably the wrong words, if you're prepared to defend it in game go ahead. I'm on the fence as far as who's fault it is and where you draw the line, it seems like you could just tell Wighay to keep his ass out of wights, but having your name actually affect gameplay is kind of crappy. (Prior to targetting, I once considered coming up with a name that was difficult to type, or would cause people to mistarget for an advantage in CvC... fighting someone named Shiel for example would suck... carry around a disk full of shields and turn it as your first action.)

The real solution (if this were an actual problem) would be to have two verbs (like kill and attack) and have one only allow you to attack MonsterBolds.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Oh, and she is a healer. She asked for a cleanup when my healer was in the room, but she got ignored.>>

It's a shame that you can't distinguish your characters.

[Leetahkin]

<<Oh, and she is a healer. She asked for a cleanup when my healer was in the room, but she got ignored.>>

Yes, I can. She was headed out hunting and chose not to help.
Her being a healer does not mean she has to help every healer with a cleanup.

I guess I could also add that my healer is going through a rough time at the moment.
So it's quite in character for her not to help.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Her being a healer does not mean she has to help every healer with a cleanup.>>

You're absolutely right, but that's not what you said. You said you ignored her when she asked for help, not that you were too busy to be bothered by anyone.

[Merzbow]

fighting someone named Shiel for example would suck... carry around a disk full of shields and turn it as your first action.)

Awesome. How would you actually target the player in that situation?

[Leetahkin]

Along the same lines...
Ent wears a backsheath with one outfit.
She can't fold back - you fold your hands behind your back, waiting patiently (or some sort)
It always makes her glance at her backsheath and fold her arms over her chest. Highly annoying.

[Celephais]

Awesome. How would you actually target the player in that situation?

That situation could be circumvented with:
1. Target command, done prior to the other shields appearing
2. Using the proper "third/fourth" whatever (you'd have to count the shields on the ground... over 11 or 12 and you're screwed though)
3. Use a stormfront link to target them (IE their ID number if you know it)

As for leaning back... none of my suggestions will work for that.

[Drew]

I remember Snowie had her snow-owl targetted sometimes in PvP.

[Asha]

Snowdrop? Unless Snowie has an owl I haven't seen (and she can somehow explain why she's power over the element of ice).

[mgoddess]

"kill" is 4 letters

Better yet, "att" or "at" is three or two letters, respectively...

(Only things I macro for hunting are spells, spells, signs, cmans (surge, smastery, etc), and the use of ranged weapons. Melee combat is ALWAYS manual...quite easier (for me) to change critters compared to macro'ing.)

[AestheticDeath]

I just dont see the need to type in an attack command every time you want to, when you can simply hit one key, and be done with it. I dont like wasted time or keystrokes.

I also tend to use scripts for traveling, and macros for everything else, but I think with the type ahead line screwiness, I am going to make some small scripts rather than long macros, but use a macro to call the script!

So press the numpad enter?
