Had I believed that, I would have said that.

Then you're either not paying attention or a complete ####ing idiot. Just one person's opinion.
>Shoddy descriptions, bizzar names,
Pray. If someone hears you and if they agree with you and if they can do something about it, they will. Agreeing with you is the least of those things, unless you're the guy who keeps praying over really obscure things like the character who is named after a street near him or someone mentioned in passing in some book we've never read.
For my part, I will make an effort to check on these things more frequently because they're generally spotted by Heroimms and we're a little low on them at the moment.

You were probably help to the extent the person was able to help you.

This is an example of assuming making an ass of you and me. There was nothing wrong with evasion and both you and the Imm assumed you were using it correctly. That's just short-sighted- ness on both your parts. You didn't need their special powers to read the helpfile and they may not have been able to see what you were doing and took it on faith you were doing it right.

So you both overlooked the obvious. Dude, *I* get corrected on the newbie channel sometimes over stuff that I developed. We're just human.

You didn't think of that either.

That sometimes everyone forgets to read the helpfile.

I've seen you do some good stuff with your orcs. ;)

Someone else got in there quick-like.

Hey, I'm on your side with the minotaurs.
