Heh. If someone is calling you a newb for having only 100 charges, you can probably discount what they say about newbie'ism. Until a true newbie gets 100 charges in a weapon without a lucky leeching.

Dying doesn't mean so much either when you attack some of the nastier match ups in an effort to get souls. It's always a possibility if the other guy doesn't panic.

I don't blame you for building a big weapon either, or have a problem with it being returned to you. In fact, I kind of like that it got returned since you took some bad matchups. I just didn't like that the reason it got returned turned out to be an ooc spread story that you were new, which may not have been your fault. I still don't think it was wrong of me to try to counter that rumour.
