Hey Vladimir,

I honestly dont know why you would not let it drop.
I might admit I have possibly dodged a hostile pk range going to explore a few times.
But I always played when I had time to play and I wanted to play.
Which was usually several times a week for several hours straight. Regardless of pk, gods, powers, RND gen, etc.
During last year I had two periods of time I could not play due personal reasons. Duration of both was around two or three weeks.

If it is not 'consistent' enough for you, honestly I dont care.

As for not ranking fast enough, I was never a powergamer.
Reaching hero was/is not a priority for me.
Would opportunity arise to rank, I would take it.
But I would not bust my ass trying to gain one more level.

This was my only char.
And I yet to roll another one yet due vaining interest, girlfriend, relocation, job, etc.

Vladimir, you intentionally omitting good things and inflating bad ones. Again, what do you have against me?
I killed char of yours or my 'fame' does not let you sleep peacefully?

I checked my logs and here is what transpired:

An Intersection in a Vein of Black-Iron Ore
A ladder is mounted into the solid black wall and the darkness extends both
upwards and downwards as far as the eye can see. The pitch black walls seem
to absorb the light around you, no light reflects at all as it did within the
granite. This tunnel is in the heart of a vein of black-iron ore.


Picpongel is sleeping here.
Hentogi is here.
(Translucent) The long sinuous body of a giant crocodile is here.

<11 PM> <819/819hp 419mn 597mv 8637tnl>

<11 PM> <819/819hp 419mn 597mv 8637tnl>
Hentogi grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...

<11 PM> <819/819hp 419mn 597mv 8637tnl>
the Watcher: Intruder! Intruder! Timalin is raiding the Cabal!
the Watcher: Intruder! Intruder! Nakzuran is raiding the Cabal!

<12 AM> <819/819hp 419mn 597mv 8637tnl>
Hentogi puts a scrap of parchment in the girdle of endless space.

<12 AM> <819/819hp 419mn 651mv 8637tnl>
You say 'I think I pass.'

<12 AM> <819/819hp 419mn 651mv 8637tnl>
You say 'I wish I could do something... besides dying.'

<12 AM> <819/819hp 419mn 651mv 8637tnl>
Hentogi says 'Can't get outta here anyway.'

<12 AM> <819/819hp 419mn 651mv 8637tnl>
Hentogi says 'Not quickly.'
============================

Could I have made an attempt trying to defend and possibly dying? Sure.
Would it change anything? NADA.

Kelin was very pragmatical and not a martyr at all as Muuloc pointed out. This made him more dangerous.

Signing off,

Kelin
