It's been quite a while since I added anything here, but I actuallly got attacked by a real life PK today.  Now there used to be a time where that was the norm.  It happened every day, so it was big deal.   But these days PKs are pretty few and far between, so I was pleasantly surprised by the whole event.

Our story begins with our humble bowyer Bullseye chopping trees in the east britain woods.

March 6th, 2000

Well shit.  I don't know what I want to say here, but I know I want to say something.  I've been playing this damned game for a long, long time.  

I still like the game a lot, primarily due to all of the people, both good and bad, that I have met along the road.   I like the fact that we have very unique guild, and are reasonably well known.   We have people (good) that like us a lot and respect us for what we do, and we have people (bad with above average intelligence) who hate what we do, but respect what we do.   There are also that other group of people (assholes and degenerates) who both hate us and hate what we do.  To be quite honest, I've always felt if these people hate us then we are doing our job ;) 

The game is at another crossroads.  We're about to have a whole new era of player -vs player combat system. I am christening this era "Monkey Shines", because I fear the only PvP chars that will really shine are going to be dex monkeys.  No, I know I am not the only one, but I rather enjoy playing a mage.  I think it requires a little more thought, but I also know many people who have always been bummed that warriors didn't have a chance against mages.  Well, now is their time, except for one small detail... they quit.   LOL.  I guess I will have to bite the bullet and start training my warrior again.   Whee!

We are also getting new lands here shortly.  Well, ok we're getting the same old lands, but with double-vision.   I don't care either way myself.  I just want to play, have fun, and not have to keep retraining my chars every month.

Another upcoming feature is the Faction System.  It sounds like it could be fun, but to be quite honest, I'll have to see it to believe it.  I just hope they do something to avoid having everyone join the side they think is "winning" .  That was the problem with capture the flag on the Abyss shard.  Everyone jumped to the winning color.  Well, what fun is that?  Shit, you might as well cheat at Solitaire for the challenge that offers.  Anyway, once again we'll see how it turns out.  The only thing I can predict is that if we get involved, we'll be on the side of the good guys ;)

Ok thats all for now... I'm tired of typing.

January 21st, 2000

What's the latest news.   Well, our favorite group of corporate shit-fer-brains, OSI, is implementing yet another patch.  This one isn't so bad, although they really screwed the pooch with their changes to escorting.  Hell, I don't even escort and I think its pretty stupid.   But, whatever, who the hell am I to second guess a group of people with a track record like OSI.  Also included in this patch is the removal of precasting, which I really don't give a shit about.  That's the one thing about PvP... everyone (theoretically) lives by the same set of rules, so even if they make a change we all can adapt to the change.  Also in this patch is Phase III of the Housing patch (The decay Phase).  Here's another change I don't give a shit about.  We all hoard too much crap anyway, and honestly, I don't care much about stuff anyway.  All I need is a bag of reg, a halberd and a target. 

That's all for now. 

January 20th, 2000

As best my faltering memory can recall...

The night began kinda slow as normal, but we did find a few scuffles here and there. Then we decided to check out T2A and things started to get a bit more frantic. Red and I walked up just in time to see some jerkoff named Drizzt Do'Urden start looting someone who had died. So, I'm standing there looking at the guy wondering if we should kill him, and what does the mental midget do? He starts to snoop me. Well, needless to say, that was a deciding factor on our plan of action. I fire up a harm and nail him and Red para's him a few times while I Explo/Flamestrike?Halberd/Loot him. I don't think he got two steps from where he snooped me.

We chased around a couple more hosers for a bit, killed some thief named Sarn the Smithy or something and then this group of reds comes charging through. By the way, this group of PKs are Red/Pash and my next door neighbors. We start fighting and before long the reds are all recalling and I tell everyone to regroup on me for a gate. I open a gate to the T2A ->Vesper Passage and we step right back into the middle of all of the reds we were just fighting. Seeing us all come barrelling out of a gate appeared to have freaked them out because they scattered and recalled again. This time we get a call from Reddog who for some reason didn't come with us in the first gate. He said they were back at the T2A Orc Fort again so we all go back. In the chaos they somehow managed to kill Phamcar (T2A is pretty damned laggy and I think that had something to with it). They get away yet again, but this time we do not follow.

We head back to the old world and find some more assholes (Slayer of All & MorphinE) in Buc's Den. We get into another fight and chase this Slayer of All asshole all over hell's half acre. He has a ripping connection so it seems futile. In one scuffle he somehow manages to kill Phamcar. (My guess is we weren't watching his healthbar and didn't cover him). At this point I was out of silk so I couldn't heal him or anyone else, so I decided to make a trip to the bank. While I was gone Slayer of All came back and Xel, Pash,
DarkEagle and Kelwar gave him the beatdown. Good work, he was a tough nut to crack.

I scout Covetous again and yet another big group of reds recalls in (LoDs statloss pks). I give the call and people start recalling in. Tweeked recalled in right smack in the middle of the PK Group. They start to light him up, and I go into "heal his ass" mode. As the others start recalling in, the red start recalling out. Funny how that works eh? So then we're hanging out at Covetous talking to another group of Antis from the KP (KarmaPolice) Guild and just as I say "There's no way a group of PKs would walk up right now" a group of PKs (The ones from the T2A Orc fort) walk up. I saw at least 10 paras fire up and the reds took off running. One of them Ionaus I think didn't quite make it and fell in a barrage of spells. Can you imagine what those reds said when they walk up to 10-12 Antis standing around talking at Covetous? LOL.


Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

November 3rd, 1999

Well, an interesting week or two it has been, indeed.  Everyone got to experience the mind-numbing thrill of throwing away all of the worthless shit we've been hoarding since we began playing this more addictive than crack online game called UO.  The ritual tossing out the trash was all due to OSI's Ticket System (Hereafter referred to as OSI's Ticket System). 

Why are we doing this?   Well, for one thing, we could be the proud owner of one of those fine prizes offered by the oh generous folks at OSI: Haircut Deeds, Furniture Dye Tubs, One of 14 different statues, Phoenix Armor, and the Holy Grail of The Ticket System: The Bless Deed.  

I'm feeling a bit salty right now, so I'm gonna break this down for ya.  Some of these might be wrong I'm going from my severely damaged memory, but I think you get my point.... eventually.

Then the proverbial shit hit the fan and the Baja server took a dump big enough to choke New York City's largest sewage treatment facility.  As a result, we all get to "experience" OSI's Ticket System all over again.  Oh joy.

Here's my theory on what REALLY happened:  Late one Friday night Tom, the janitor at OSI, walked in on the Dev Team sleeping in the conference room and said "Hey guys, I have this idea on how to lower the item count on that stupid game you guys pretend to  work on."   The Dev Team, knowing the janitor was the red-headed stepchild of OSI's CEO, had to listen to his idea. Their livelihood could very well be on the line here if this pimply faced little twerp, who normally carts off the empty Miller Lite cans and pizza boxes from the office, decides to get a burr up his ass and call daddy.

So far Tom the Janitors idea has been a huge success in the eyes of OSI brass.  There are fewer items and thus backup times are shorter, and it cost them nothing. 

On a side note: The janitor only called his daddy when he found out the idea was a big hit.  As result of his brilliant idea he is now VP of Development and the Dev Team calls him "Sir".   They have also been seen carrying out bags of Heineken bottles.  I guess Tom the Janitor can afford better beer now. 

October 6th, 1999

First off, as many of you know already we killed Doc Holiday twice last night. Yes, he is one tough bastard to kill, but now that we know how we can pretty much repeat as necessary. Basically,once we went on the offensive I just para'd him repeatedly til he ran out of pouches. Once he was frozen in place like a good little PK, we nuked the snot out of him. Xel even added insult to injury by finishing him off the second time with a fireball. Too classic. Damn, that is damned near as bad as dying to a Magic Arrow.

On a similar note, Lich also killed Shockwave last night. Needless to say Shockwave was none too happy about it.

I know this might be difficult for many of you to understand, but I do consider both of these people to be friends. And killing them is not an easy thing for me to do.  Doc Holiday (Archangel) and Shockwave have both hunted with us in the past, and we're actually really nice people.  How they ended up on the road to ruin is beyond me.

Shockwave actually sounded pretty frustrated about the whole ordeal.  He says he's been trying to go blue, but he's getting killed three times a night by people like us. Well, gee, that's no surprise, he's friggin red. I rezzed Shockwave and asked Lich to give his stuff back, which he did (thanks Lich). I ended the conversation by telling Shock he 's too nice guy to be a murderer, so go blue. I hope he does. Please do not attack Shockwave. This guy was a very nice guy, and even gave Caerid Lock the house he lives in now. Your average JoePK does not do that kind of thing. Hopefully, he will be blue soon enough, and this wont be an issue.

As for Doc Holiday, we he was pissed off that I backstabbed him. I said you know who we are, and what we do. Dropping an EV on someone right in front of us is just begging us to kill you. What did you expect? So, where do we stand now. Hell, I don't know, but until I know for sure lets NOT attack Doc unless he attacks first. The first time he attacks one of us unprovoked, he's open game. Fair enough?

October 4th, 1999

So Boen logs on late last night; around 2 am.  He testing out his new DSL connection which was great.  He was getting pings around 80-100ms which ain't too bad at all.  He decided to hit Shame but found nothing.  He hit Covetous and again finds nothing.  He hit EBR and was walking along and bingo.  Three shady looking blues (Icelord, Eldoron, and another guy) walk up to him.  He says "Hail!", and they respond with "Sup".  They then tell Boen to drop his gold and his regs on the ground or they will kill him. 

Quivering with fear Boen promptly responds with "Blow me AND my horse".  True to their threat they attack with swords and archery.  Boen backs up and heals, then Magic Arrow, Explosion, Flamestrike.  Icelord takes a dirtnap.  Eldoron and the third guy stop, survey the situation and promptly start to run.   Boen runs Eldoron down and Magic Arrows him, then casts paralyze.  While the wannabe PK sits there with his thumb up his ass waiting to die, Boen takes a moment to meditate.  While Boen Meditates Eldoran begin pleading to be spared from Icelord's fate.  Doubtful, but hell, it was worth a try.  Once at full mana Boen takes him out with an Explosion, Flamestrike, Energy Bolt.  Well at least now he can talk to his dead buddy.

Wannabe PK #3 runs on the screen and calls me a cheater and recalls out.

Yes folks, sometimes life is good.  Real good.

October 1st, 1999

Last night after we were out hunting Pulse decided to take a leisurely walk through the East Britain Woods. As I rounded the kink a few red names came into view. Deciding to have a little fun I equipped my trusty Greater Heal wand and strode my horse right into the middle of these two murderers and their blue henchman.
"Hail Gentlemen!" I exclaimed.
"Sup?" was their response.
"How art thou?" I queried.
They stood silent for a moment, then one of them approached me and asked "Are you a mage?"
"Me, a mage?" I said. "Why no, I am a tailor. Have you a need for fine clothing?"
No response.
"Ummm then whats with the wand?" They asked.
"Tis a lightning wand, which I fully intend to use to defend myself if need be."
They laugh "Oooh a wand!" and another asks "Are you new?"
"Why yes, I am in fact." I answered.
"We hate newbies".

It was about this time I asked Tweeked if he was busy ;) He said he was not, and via UOAM I saw him moving along the road
towards where I was.
"I'm coming in with guns blazing" Tweeked said.
"I'll be ready" was my response.

"Why do you hate newbies?" I asked.
"Because they suck." was the answer given to me.
"Oh." I said as Tweeked came roaring on to the screen.

As Tweeked laid in to one of the murderers and I picked another, Magic Arrow, Explo, EBolt, EBolt, DEAD. I retarget the one Tweeked is fighting, and drop a couple more ebolts on him which brings him near death. He runs like the wind for safe ground. Meanwhile the blue also decides to run.

After tweeked and I secure the area some blue guys who had been watching the entire ordeal pops out of hiding and says... "That was beautiful man. A tailor... Umm yeah right :P"

As a gesture of good sport I open a gate for the dead red back to his own rune and he departs. A few moments later Tweeked and I recall to their house and see them all inside. After a few minutes, we realize they ain't gonna come out and play with us... newbie tailors.

So I rename his rune "Courtesy of... The Tailor." and drop it on the steps out front of their house, and we recall out

And so ends the saga of Pulse the Tailor.

September 23rd, 1999

Well, last night was an interesting one. We looked all over for something red to kill and found nothing. It was slow slow slow. Then, Xog logs on and suggests we hit the Covetous Lich Room. We head on down there, and I kill a bazillion liches while the other lay in wait. Shortly a couple of reds show up and kill a guy right outside the door. We give chase, they run like hell and recall. This was a bummer since these two were a couple of LoDs statloss reds. I love killing those guys :P  Well, we hung around for a while longer, and I let someone else kill liches while I ID'd all of the wands and crap I had been collecting.

Anyway, we decide to stroll down to that haven of upstanding citizens known as Buc's Den. We weren't there for 5 minutes before a couple of reds (Catwalk & Shadowmaster) come strolling in with a blue (Lorgalis) in tow. The next thing you know we are in a knock down drag out fight with these guys. They mana dump on Xel and we keep him alive using all means available... Lich was tossing heals and I had him on last target with a greater heal wand. :P I love those things. Then we take our turns shooting, and Shadowmaster is on the run. We dump on him and his friends heal him,he runs, but he's still hurt. I equip a wand of lightning, and use 10 wand charges on him, I see Tweeked equip his bow... Thunk!   Shadowmaster does a faceplant. Woowoo, that's one for home team.

A few minutes later they show up again, and its almost a total repeat of the previous fight, except Xog decides it would be good time to get dumped in the middle of a fight :) We keep him alive while they try to kill this poor, disconnected soul. We succeed, run them off, invis him and hold the ground. He comes back just in time to join in on fending off their next assault. In the end Shadowmaster was dead again, and we hadn't lost anyone... yet.

They come back yet again, only this time they had summoned a couple of demons to fight for them. The only problem was the demons just didn't want to cross the server line so they just stood there looking stupid. We were doing fine until somehow or another Lich got separated from us and they ganged him 3 on 1, the rest of us showed up in time get his regs and stuff, but still. Right as I am suggesting we cut our losses and take off, they come up yet again. This time we fight for a while, but it isn't going our way, so I call out. This is echoed by Xog. We get out while the gettings good. Alas, Lich and Tweeked don't and they pay dearly for it. We gate them out a few minutes later after they hand out a few more murder counts.

The moral to this story is: When we yell out, get out. Period. I don't care if it looks ok from your viewpoint. I don't care if YOU don't care whether you live or die. We are a group and we should remain so. When someone ignores the call to get out they do several things: 1) They increase the chance of getting thumped. 2) They decrease our ability to go right back and start fighting again on our terms. Instead we have to rez them, wait for them to reequip etc... and we miss the bad guys that we could easily have gone back for. Just because we call out does not mean we can't go back. It's just a recall away. So, by all means, if we give the
"out" call, just go. In the long run, it is the best thing to do, and as I said, we can always go back.

June 23nd, 1999

Had a really cool night last night. The night actually started out pretty slowly. Eventually, Boen logged for the night and lo and behold... the shit hits the fan. RedDog, Samuel (Xog), Pash, Michupa, Lich and myself all recall into the fort and start clearing out the orcs. I went walking up above to take a look around and ran over something hidden. I stopped, turned around... then hid. All of a sudden three reds (All PKC) attacked me. Yes, they attacked me with spells, while I was hidden. No, we don't cheat :0 Anyway, I took a few steps and recalled to the bank, then back in to the docks and told everyone there were reds up above. We went charging up and laid into them. They all scattered. It was great to see our newest member, Lich, with his sword in hand charging after a murderer with that killer look ;) With only 60 Strength its was pretty courageous, even if it wasn't smart. ;)  Then while we are standing there, another one, Armadiyo, appears in the middle of us. Anyway, we box him in and promptly hack him to bits.  Although he died so fast it was hard to tell, my guess is he had dumped and the rest were guarding over him.  Wrong place at the wrong time.   I bounty the guy... Whee... 6175 gps for his head.

Later we head over to Buc's Den and find King Raugh II there. We attack him, he runs, then he comes back with a healer in tow and we gets the dfdffdfdfdf message from Lich. He's learning ;) We go charging over, toss a heal on Lich and I see Samuel go charging in hacking, then I see the white flash meaning someone dropped Raugh's reflect. He yells "Heal Me!" to his friend. I Explo, Flamestrike, Ebolt and he drops in a heap in the middle of the crew. I saw few other spells going off at the same time so it was
definitely a group effort.

We also boxed in another red up near XRoads by the name of Masta Jr.  Anyway, it was a good night.
