#68433, "when i did"
In response to Reply #0


          

i stuck to mostly rangers, assassins, or villagers where death was just as likely as a few random dbs to win

i also did way too many outlanders too, more than enough to probably make the imms mad at 100% AI

ah, makes me miss the not so old days...

I work as a high response tech support directly supporting military pilots so I have to instantly walk away when required I just figure if if I worry too much about dying then I wouldn't be able to play. I actually don't think it's happened from a pk this char though Glik almost did once. He left me alone when he saw I was quite afk though and rped with my afk char. I thought that was pretty cool.

My last job was doing analytics at a hospital. When training me they showed all these things they wanted me to track and did it all by hand... I fully automated my job to the point I had less than an hour of work a week(not a smart hospital it went bankrupt 3 times in 10 years largely because it was operationally terrible). As a result I had all the free time in the world without distractions.

The job before that I was el jefe and just blocked off my schedule and went to a secluded conference room( admittedly I didn't mid very much from work then but the system was effective)

At risk for AFK death are only the guys who have unreliable connection and/or power outages.
