GOODBYE GAY WORLD

[TeckXKnight]

I think our highest melee skill was 150? 200 perhaps? :p Personally I get more melee from my thanes than I have in skill vOv.
Archers do decent damage in PVP somehow. I don't know how but I've been damaged by a RB while I mathematically shouldn't have. I think it has to do with the way death/life converts grievous damage into real damage.

Piercing damage; all attacks do some degree of piercing. The exact formula was never stated though I believe loftar mentioned that Unarmed has the most piercing followed by MM and melee with the lowest. Even if you're negating close to 2000 damage with your armor, a decent enough % of damage from an RB is going to get through to you. Even if it was something like 20% from a 1.2k damage shot, you'll feel it.

We've been watching for weeks now and it is very clear that the death of one or maybe two of them would pretty much bring any influence, power and control their village has to an end. It's very clear that none of them are using Tradition atm. The loss of DoG would simply cripple their Village. He's the only one left there that has the brains to make shit happen now.

Say what now? We are not like you and depend on a few chars, unless maybe when you catch our smith. Which won't happen. Also no offense DoG, but he isn't really that important regarding his lp and stats.

Tech, sword doesn't do piercing anymore as stated in one of the patches.

[TeckXKnight]

Ah, I should keep a closer eye on the announcements then. Thank you for clarifying that Dataslycer.

For real?

Oh man, thank god. After seeing some of those screens I was afraid everyone in the big city's had combat over 500.

Glad to see I'm not that far behind.

Ehh thanes add about 160 at q500 and 400 melee skill really isn't all that far out if you're a melee guy considering there's multiple people who had equivalent of that in different skills. Don't make the mistake thinking that real fighters have under 400/500 effectve melee skill.

[Reimad]

Yeah, effective.

I thought a base melee of 500 was the norm?

If I got my hands on q500 thanes I'd be around that too.

But does a q500 thane really add 80? Man, I should buy a pair..

EDIT: Just thought of something. All those dead goons must've dropped a few thanes, could I buy 2 at a discount?

No offense taken, I'm not.

Hell, if I posted my stats to be honest nothing would change, I bring nothing to the table now that you killing me wouldn't allow me to bring on a new character that's 3 days old.

All I lost in that fight was an alt built to drop a very large Claim and to LS outposts. My main lives on but is worthless without an active Village. Hell it's just worthless...

Yeah, been there, shit sucks ma, shit sucks.

Rage managed to become one of the best Jewelers in the game while also grinding away at Farming and Smithing. Most only assumed he was an asshole. He was a man of many talents.

I don't think he was really an asshole as much as his mood greatly affected how he treated people, I liked to think that at one point we were at least neutral, he was very helpful with information and we talked a few times. My real only problem with him was that he just suddenly one day started acting really nasty to me, it happened to be the day I joined Sodom, I asked him why, he didn't respond, I figured that was why. I know that there are some people that propagate the idea that he is an asshole, but I doubt he is, I've never played with him, just talked in IRC, so I couldn't say.

With so few Goons logging in now the game feels too much like work and then even worse there is too few around to share the fruits of labor.

When you can't find people to share the 'work' with, it's terrible, I really do understand why this would make you quit, especially since you have a village that you don't exactly just invite new people to join freely, as I'm sure goon villages have a few more requirements than just being a member of SA.

Opinions towards Sodom have been mixed but of those Goons that do dislike Sodom they really fucking hate Sodom indeed. Before the death of Rage, talks of killing off at least one sodomite have been in the works. We've been watching for weeks now and it is very clear that the death of one or maybe two of them would pretty much bring any influence, power and control their village has to an end. It's very clear that none of them are using Tradition atm. The loss of DoG would simply cripple their Village. He's the only one left there that has the brains to make shit happen now.

Well, as burg said here, I'm really not important, you can take that as you will. I have an area in the mine that pretty much has enough stuff for me to get back into my important stats right away, maybe minus farming, but I'm macroing a second character in order to fix that little 'problem'. I've actually expected being killed since I've done trades with several goons (I've traded with Bitza for example many times, and each time I never brought protection, since I feel I can trust him despite affiliation). Since then I've for the most part done all trades on my slave however which makes things much simpler really, I never have to worry about anything happening and if he dies.. who cares, he started as nothing more than a mining alt anyway.

I'm also not sure I would quit if my character was killed, when I started school I was a bit reckless so that if I did die I could use it as an excuse to quit for good (until next reset) in order to fully pursue school, but when things got a little more 'heated' with you guys I was actually hoping to stay around and have some fun. I really hope you guys aren't quitting and this is all some elaborate hoax because I don't think anyone else will rise as quickly to fill the spot as 'bad guy', as AD stated they're neutral and I like to think sodom is good

P.S. Are you playing next world? Are you still playing this world? Only Sotsa quitting or all of you? I'm not getting a full 'I quit' from anyone here so I'm hoping not

[Sotsa]

I never spoke only for me when i said goodbye to gay world.
I might even stick around, very causually.
But quitting in regard to playing seriously, and putting a lot of time into it.

who knows, maybe there will be a Pig in a chair by Xanadu.

Neither did we, except for the smith obviously. It's not because you only see a few of us that there were only a few :p
