6 on 1? or How Not to Set MegaMud for a PvP Realm! The Scene: This infamous battle broke apart one of the original gangs of this realm. One of the players has had a long time habit of playing out of range, then asking all the guys in the Realm for help. This night, she was seriously endangering two other players, Frik and Frak, and it was decided to put an end to it. The PvP limit is 5 in this game. The Players: Pyewacket - Level 28 Nekojin Ranger Steele - Level 22 Nejojin Warrior Prophecy - Level 26 Dwarf Warrior Athena - Level 18 Dwarf Paladin Annile - Level 32 Goblin Mage - Out of Range Frik - Level 32 Goblin Mystic - Out of Range Frak - Level 33 Goblin Gypsy - Out of Range Vlad - Level 18 Dwarf Cleric - Non Participant The final score: Pyewacket vs Prophecy - 9 hits, 4 misses, 188 damage, Good BS, Prophecy hung Steele vs Athena - 12 hits, 3 misses, 264 damage, Good BS, Athena killed. Athena had been telling everyone this was 6 on 1. I have tried to find all the hits scored by various players. My analysis is above. I did not find one single hit landed or even attempted by Athena on Steele, or Prophecy on Pyewacket. Both scripts had Steele and Pyewacket marked as a friends! Strong recommendation that you only mark those you can really trust as a friend. In this case, it cost a player everything. The actual battle - 2 different viewpoints.
