THIS, is why earrings need to be downgraded. A supposed "Duel"

Achilles

It's the two way nature of it.  Earring out (1s eq), wait 3 seconds/heal up, earring back in brand new.

Precisely. Which indicates to me that escape is not the issue that you have with earrings.

Yes. It's the mobility. I believe limiting it will help because you wouldn't have about 5 different choices to instantly teleport to if in danger - you'd have one. And that person would only have you, as well. I don't really care about earring escape, it's just re-positioning oneself very easily. I.E: You jump someone with hangedman, 5 allies earring to you, instant gank.

Tanris

Rather than say, walk around with five people following you? Fact is if you want to gank someone, you can do it without earrings, but sure, let's agree to disagree on that.

Personally I've always ascribed to the Mizik school of thought of earrings: if they want to involve a second party, so will I. Done arguing though, people have their views on earrings and those won't change.

Vaehl

I meant more in the situation of your teammates are slightly scattered, you run into someone one versus one, your entire team earrings in, instead of you grouping up and then attacking. And sure, we'll agree to disagree.

I do like the buff idea though.

Dunn

tbf, I was Tanris' second. He'll keep the first five.

Vaehl

Why would you ever get someone other than Dunn for earrings. This guy always freaking survives. Somehow.

Dunn

You heard it here folks. 3 kd and always survives.

*Buy me more earrings.

I was the first, and he ditched me like a bad habit

Jarrod

I'm relatively certain Dunn's major success is having earrings with a Serpent!

Willing to offer to survival to anyone willing to invest.

Tanris

This, is why evade needs to be downgraded.

Zeon

Evade should take a couple seconds before it goes through, to bring it in line with tumble and shipreturn.

Jarrod

Evade should bypass any number of rooms via Syntax: EVADE <dir> <dir> <dir> etc to put it more in line with Earrings.

Nim

@Jarrod: With the abundance of automappers, and the ability to know room IDs via GMCP, I suggest an alternative syntax (in addition to the above): EVADE <roomID>

Shouldn't be too difficult to program in. I imagine there's already a god command with the same functionality!

Iocun

I prefer EVADE EVERYWHERE. Multiplies your body into as many instances as there are rooms in Achaea and places one in each room. You only die once all of your bodies are killed.

EDIT: Eh, perhaps too powerful. Make it stopped by level two head damage, I guess.

Achilles

too many horcruxes, you will make your soul unstable.

Aeolithon

If all versions are killed, permadeletion. Let us rid ourselves of the scourge of achaea that is Serpents. Then we'll move onto Blademasters. 

Zeon

Yeah delete those serpents. They've got ridiculous 1v1 theft infiltrate evade and snipe potential. 

Aeolithon

Precisely.

BMs outevade us and I get killed way more often by arrows than I kill with them

Mishgul

that's because you dash down from clouds for some weird reason

Tvistor

No matter how many times you kill Iocun, he'll always be looking dashing down on you.
