PK Logs

I think it would be helpful if the PK Logs section was opened up to replies. While the PK logs are fun to read, they can also be a very effective tool for newer players. The problem is, unless you already know what the person should have done (in which case you aren't someone who is learning anyways), having them there doesn't help you all that much.

I remember on the old forum that the most helpful part of the PK logs wasn't necessarily the actual fight, but the advice people would post afterwards. Oftentimes people would also get into discussions over certain tactics, etc, in regards to a log which would help further.

I don't see it getting out of hand or hard to moderate given the forum community we have these days, so I just thought I would see what people think.

I agree, people who did post replies to pk logs would mostly give good advice on what to do next time. Although it has been used and abused in the past, and would not be suprised if it did not come back.

Done.

PK Logs opened to moderated replies to keep out spam and thread derailings.

Great, thanks a lot from me and also on behalf of all the new players who aren't even here to thank you yet.

I would not be suprised if it did not come back.

And this is why I don't post much.

Is it anonymous, or name placed ?

Why would it be anonymous...

Yeah, no reason to be Anon. This way you can tell who is giving the advice and judge their opinion worthy in your own mind. I'll take PK advice from L-A, Aulian, etc. But why would I ever take it from Bali or Dey?

aside from the fact that even fall down drunk they both could kill me...

Am I the only one who thought when they read this thread "Wow...I'm going to be the first person to read everyone else's post. I'm gonna have sick insight into what I should be doing...just as soon as I remember to keep my water jugs full..."?

Gotta get yourself a chalice, man. Roll with the bling.

I prefer the shot glass on a chain...but I get what you are driving at.

Its' not that.

Imagine you got PKed, or you PKed and wish to present the strategy after it has been posted, from your PC point of view.

You will have to reveal who you play. Just that.

But then again i can always have fun making some cryptic post after your good advices... (if not anon)

What?!?!

a-g: Okay, so guys, what do you think I should have done in this fight?

Aulian: As soon as your HP dropped below 1100 HP, the critical stages, you should have druid-gated.

a-g: Umm... I'm not a druid.

Aulian: Oh, well then you should have definitely fled and then camoflauged.

a-g: Not a ranger either.

Aulian: Damn. I'm all out. Anybody else?

Dey

Alright, jerk. I was simply trying to boost his ego a little. You know? Friendly lies? It is 'cause of asses like you that people, after reading a forum, go into the bathroom, hang themselves off of the shower bar with their belt, and are found the next morning where their family can't figure out if it was suicide or accidental death by auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Hope you can sleep tonight.

I'm no detective, but I'd have thought that it would have been the yearning that got him before he'd have chance to indulge in his dark fantasies...

Dey

And so the Aulin bashing continues.......

Absolutely great! I believe in my 7ish years of playing FL the BEST help I got was from some great players offering me and others great advice in the PK log section. Only suggestion I have for the moderators is this: Unless there is A)Basic advice to a newbie in a log or B)Pure strategic or helpful ADVICE, the replies should not make it.

Congratulations are fine and all but that is why there is a shout outs forum. Unless there is ex: "You happened to fall victim to X spell foy Y reason, you should try to go heavier on the saves next time, or Instead of blinding at this point you should have enfeebled, etc".

Great suggestion, great opportunities for learning for the growing p-base, hopefully it does not turn into a chatfest. People post logs so others can give advice/learn from them and the discussions thereafter. Maybe I am REALLY just getting old:o

Dey's comment was funny. Period. But, I do start to feel bad for Aulian after a while.

Don't feel sorry...you think you're feeling guilty, but that's just Aulian slipping you the old entangle....

Aulian reserves the "old entangle" for sheep.
