'tarako Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 'So. What's the longest that anyone has ever rolled? I just rolled for half an hour and every time i hit a 52 i was in the roll mode and i hit enter again and it passed me by. I gave up because i really wanted dinner. It sucks that im going to have to start the char all over again but its quick enough work. Arg. Rolling makes my hand hurt and my brain grow fuzzy. lol. Whats the lowest roll anyone ever took on a char? i was thinking about that 35 i saw so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-D&Der Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I don't know what the longest time I ever spent was, but I think the most times in a row I did what you just described is three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Learn to use a trigger. Even if you want to be a real man and play on telnet, do yourself a favour and dl Mushclient and roll with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 About 3 hours rolling time, then I gave up and took the number that I kept getting. Of course it took another hour before I got the damned thing because I didn't hit it after I decided to choose it, but at least I got it finally.

Tantangel Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Not sure if there is one for Mac, but you could always look. There's a few links to it either in Ideas or newbie forum and it should be under the title Mushclient. If so, Mattamue has a great rolling client hosted on a site (should also be linked there). Just do a search for Mushclient and click on a thread I started, believe all the links are in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionpsyfer Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Overnight. I fell asleep while mushclient was doing its thing. I got the 54 I was looking for, but I wasn't connected anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 No clue, I run a trigger...eventually I get what I want if I am not too stingy with the roll. Triggers are easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questioner Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have rolled a 28 before. I usually stop rolling at 51 and above. Takes about five to thirty minutes before I quit to try again a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfdude Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I rolled for like 6 hours once in 1.0. This was back in the day when you didn't roll for a number but actually rolled your attributes at start so you had to use a funkyass roller. I set an alarm for when I got the roll and I got it at like 9 o'clock in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I so hated that way of rolling. AR still does that and I can't stand that crap as you always end up with way ****ty stats unless you plan on sitting there for like hours on end just rolling and rolling. At least you can compromise easier now with rolling. I still get irritated thinking about the old way of rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Please. It was so easy to get a stat roller for that. I got better rolls then faster than I do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 The stat roller for me was a pain in the ***. GMUD you could easily make one (usually a lot easier than having it check for all 5 stats than just one number) and I can get a roll I want within an hour of rolling now, and if I don't then I'll stop for a while and do something else, back then I'd just take a 16 in things because I wasn't sticking around to roll a 20+ in one stat just to have another stat be a 15 or 16. I rolled too many sub-18's in things to bother with the old way and I only had a few characters. I had a ton after the change to the stat roller was made though, because then I got to choose exactly how I'd spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Oh, I downloaded a separate program dedicated to statrolling. You just set what you wanted each stat to be able to reach and let it run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudder Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 For a Mac use a client called Rapscallion (Not sure on the spelling) I've never used it myself (I have PC) but I have heard very good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionpsyfer Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 The maintainer of Rapscallion pretty much fell off the face of the earth. There is a sort of mirror page at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/6818/ I haven't tested the downloads there though. You might be better off just going with Cantrip or Atlantis. http://www.versiontracker.com/php/qs.php?PHPSESSID=3f785a4eb73ac435ff9b9ed844c04b68&mode=basic&action=search&str=MUD+client&srchArea=macosx&submit=Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
