My deployment is coming up and I had to give him up in a few days anyway. Knowing his time was nearing (which was stated in his scrolls) was quite reckless in the way he started to play him hence the assassination during cabal warfare. Though it sucks to lose to something you've always disagreed with in the game. Not trying to sound upset but I guess this game is saying that since you're able to let someone take your standard for days without doing anything but using two commands (i.e. hide/study) on end you deserve an assassination? The character did what he was supposed to do it's just the mechanics of some aspects of the game I don't like. With that and the lack of players (which is lower than I've ever seen) maybe its time for me to move on? I don't know I'm not one to give up so easily, you may even see Lamah trying to get his revenge still or I may start up another combo I was thinking about that isn't so susceptible to assassinations. When I originally created Lamah I wanted to try out Watcher skills and see if I could allow myself to believe in all this nature stuff (which was tough for me) I decided to try a race I only tried when I was still mediocre at and combined racial benefits/warrior lores/cabal choice to give me a combination that I could compete with. Lamah wanted to change the course of Aabahran there was evil everywhere. So he helped to build up Watcher and Knight the best he could. Before I started playing there were so many monsters about and a problem with wares it was tough for me. There was Kongol, Inari, Flairion, Uhril, Mephizex (i'm so sorry Meph, that you had no idea I played Lamah, our conversation on aim was hilarious as I had to act like I had no idea whom Lamah was), Triathix, Iraekiira, Fistilantus, Helgorne, Zpenopub, Grump, Luurol (oh god you were by far the strongest of my opponent), Brendyn, Rykar and so many others that gave me a tough time early on. I am truly thankful to my enemies and allies. To Gradrel for giving me elder, Malchaeius for helping out my rp it was you who probably gave me the motivation to keep playing when I didn't want to anymore. Others have also helped me with my rp that I owe thanks to. Dane, Solec, Aelleor, Palwen, Kravian, so many to count. Oh and Zhokril (some constructive criticism -sigh- I know you may mind, but I feel I should speak now or forever hold my peace) you should relax some, you seem to have a tendency to expect mortals to have the perspective of imms. It comes off as if you blamed me for things first than ask questions second. Believe it or not but I don't know everything and don't believe it is very helpful when we consider retention efforts for those that are innocent. -Sigh- theirs so much more I want to say and I had never thought Lamah would go so far. Fl has given me alot of happiness during these hard times so just know I thank you all for that and ask that no one take this as a deletion thread created out of anger because I'm actually quite at peace with what's happened. Its now up to the Watchers and Knights to ensure the evil does not rise up again. Good luck. P.S. I hated my title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchaeius Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Great Playerkilling ability. I also am happy that we had our talk. I felt Lamah was elder and even leader material if he was fleshed out more. I must say that afterwards, I snooped you several times and I was impressed with what I saw. The second part of Lamah's life, he felt real. I wish circumstances were different and you stuck it out. I would have made sure big things were to come. Good luck and keep yourself safe soldier.

Twinblades713 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Deployment? You're the man. Lamah was one of those guys I was always scared to look at funny. Going overseas?

tassinvegeta Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Wow, that's gotta be the nicest thing you ever said to me, thanks alot Malc. Thought I should add that my most memorable battles were. Lamah vs Triathix/Fistilantus/Iraekiira/Achvaahs(3 travens) I can't believe I survived the first encounter, but Triathix got me the second. I truly had no no fear during that time especially because I didn't use life insurance either time. Lamah vs Triathix (early days) I was as impressed with myself at getting away just as much as how strong Triathix was compared to me, I really had to pull out alot of tricks from my repoitoire gained from my years here. I had to think ahead of my ahead thoughts (even that even makes any sense). Lamah vs Triathix #?? You were killing off all of my watchers around me, and I couldn't do much without being considered ganging you, you would try to ambush me and I was prepared for you. I nearly had you if I had just kept you in battle with a bash or two but I suddenly missed, that was the most frustrating moment in his life. Lamah vs Mephizex one of my favorite battles he was a monster that threated to destroy my home. I have to admit I was afraid but dug deep got rid of it and barely pulled out a victory. I was uncaballed at the time which made it so much more special for me. Not to mention he was a good friend of mine. Lamah vs Luurol you nearly killed me our first encounter and I think I barely got away at 40 hp. I was very strong at the time and couldn't believe it. I came back fully prepared with additional protections and I still barely won. I was shaking in my boots and don't have any idea how I pulled that one off. You truly deserve props for that. Lamah vs Purikant one of our encounters by your altar we were both nearly dead and we were both dirted, an item hit me for a demonlish. I thought I'd have died the next round and hesitated whether to stay or flee, but you fled first. I had no idea if I was going to live or die in that battle. It was truly a battle to remember. Darn I'm probably forgetting others. Remind me if you guys want I'm getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sheesh, I thought he was heading for the leader spot That is one damn good character. I do believe that Lamah is the strongest character out there at the moment and I really wanted to see you battle Triathix. If you have any PK logs, please, PLEASE do post them!

Cephirus Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Having fought you with two different characters during his two "phases" I have to say I am quite impressed. He was quite a beast to fight against as a mage and as a communer. Although, I feel it prudent to point out that your gripe against ninja's for their hiding and assassinate, is that any different then your tactic to simply charge/flee/charge? I will not gripe about it myself, because I have to say I simply downright hated it, and find it, especially because of the bonus mino's get to it, to be a bit overpowered. Perhaps it should be similar to a blademaster's charge, or something of the like. Well I hope this does not derail this thread. All in all though, a very solid character, and although I found myself in opposition, it is always great to have a strong opponent, even if they kick your butt across the lands. I hope your deployment goes well, and you stay safe, and I look forward to your next character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Keep in mind that the entire point of assassinate is so that people can take down super badass chars like Lamah. That said, from my very limited interactions with you, great char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true Lamah was very powerful against mages/communers but not unbeatable I still need to engage them, stand up to their spells, and outmelee them. Not to mention you can just get the first attack against me. Additionally my combo had a much harder time against other melees. If their charge was weakened I would not see any point to playing a mino warrior over other races. With assassination they don't even need eq just hide, study, and assassinate. And as I constantly point out cabal warfare and fighting other opponents makes this even easier than it already is. As inmek it was entirely too easy to take out the opponents I did, and is a reason I wouldn't want to make one again. They don't need to engage in actual combat nor need the serious amount of eq a mino warrior would need against those classes you're referring to. Out of 17 classes in all. There are four uncounterable classess (Warrior/Monk/Blademaster/Paladin). 3-4 classess you're far better off doing bashes than charges to (Ninja/Thief/DK/Bard. 2 highly defensive classess where it won't matter if they even let you do charges to them all night or not (Druid/Battlemage). 1 classes that can negate you using charge i.e. Invokers and firestorm ask Iraekiira how many times I could charge him when he was prepared during our battles. That leaves you with Necromancers whom has access to bashing/blindness. Clerics are highly defensive/have access to flamestrikes/blindness. Shamans blindness. Of course there is always the first strike and all kinds of other unmentioned tactics for and against each scenario. But with Ninjas it seems like the most successful way to play them is to avoid battle. This is just my opinions. I'm actually curious in setting up a poll and of course I am open to further discussion on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard assassinate was way unlikely to happen without some nice hitroll. Not to mention, it's likely a failed assassinate means death against most if not all warriors.

Celerity Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 You forgot about zerks and rangers for the charge report... Assassinate IS very easy to pull off, even against people who know what is happening (aka inmek vs sachi, right?) I also don't really agree that assassinate is there to kill 'super' chars...why do we have super chars anyways (please remove life-insurance)? But it IS there and I say abuse it til it is changed, as with most other unbalanced things. But don't hold your breath for it to get changed...

I'm actually curious in setting up a poll and of course I am open to further discussion on the matter However, should I not land blind, with one of those classes that require it, and say you land your charge first... it is already over then. The lag from it locks you up and gives your opponent ample time to both flee, return to the room, and charge you again. I might as well walk away from the keyboard and make myself a sandwich. Secondly, regarding assassinate, from my understanding, it is heavy reliant upon a few contributing factors, partially being studied. Now, we all know it is impossible to always avoid being studied a little bit, but a smart player will take the necessary precautions to help them avoid and lower the possibility of being studied/assassinated. Granted, I have never really played a character that was considered a pk god, however, I have only been assassinated somewhere between 6 and 8 times in my entire time playing here, which I think is pretty damn impressive.
