Hashan Thread

Seldin

Hopped in for 5-10 minutes today to just say hi to people and check on a few things, bam. Middle of a raid. Now I'm 30min late for my James Bond Marathon! Thanks *shallam

(But seriously, I do love a good raid defense)

Vayne

@Achilles yes, I was posting/watching TV, though that was it for the night and I switch over and saw I had been dead for a couple minutes...

Certain people were not listening to the leader's target calls and went for their own which confused others into a downward spiral...DISCIPLINE.

Verily

Like I said, panic reaction to a situation turned suddenly quite disadvantageous! And you were all enemied, was luck of the draw - though it makes me wonder why it only grabbed two. Anyway! Yeah. Don't worry, it's not exactly something that'll be seen often.

Anyway, loved the raiding back and forth - it did wind up being quite fun today. So thanks to all involved on both sides.

How do you die to a serpent as a priest, though?

Serpent vs priest is an extremely frustrating fight for both parties, but in the long run, the serpent still has the advantage. (Although priests could drastically lower this advantage by not curing/healing as frivolously as most priests do.)

Asmodron

so wait...

you're saying serpents were actually acting like the assassins they were born to be? O.O

What is this world coming to.

@Asmodron Amok, amok!  This seems like a conflict between embracing our 'nature' and what we're 'known' to do.

But seriously, I still don't quite get it. We can get raided by said refugees, but how do we 'attack' them otherwise in this 'war'?

(think I missed the party boat, hence the confusion. humbug.)

We have talked about this so much that its rediculous its still happening. @Tecton needs to give us a party discharge command, or I'm killing the next person that does it

This is how Mhaldorians begin.

True story.

Was thoroughly pleased with our third raid, actually resembled something worth calling a raid, only wish our main force of monks and another of our decent occies(@ Mannimar) was around. Down 3 whole percent from the whole ordeal but don't care, it was worth it to see us not just get slaughtered.

Also wish to add a few colorful words for working earlier then normal making me have to leave mid defense

I can't believe you lost after that pit.

Only Thaumas and I got pitted. THEY FEAR ME. :P

@vayne - Were you posting when we ganked you inside Hashan?

God Hashan can't even pit correctly :P  Actually noted improvement from even 2 days ago.

lol all this pit talk is making me wish I didn't change class  I feel Hashan's getting better, actually noted that we got some kills this time, more then it was before. We're getting better! We can do this! Just need practice, and thank you Refugees for declaring "war"  on us (see Silas' post on Public News board), and giving us the practice we need :P

Was getting boring otherwise.

Vayne

I must say I was quite surprised and impressed by Dodder's leadership during the raids. She did a pretty good job in a group, especially one as inexperienced as us.

If you're leading a war time raid/raid defense and only down 3% I'd say you're likely winning.

I'm down 30%, does that mean I'm getting my ass kicked.

Depends on your level really.

Level 100 mate, only lose like .2% per death

Tanris

I got to be honest.

Vayne/whoever pking refugees then hiding -outside- a city is one of the classiest moves I've seen.

Just consider that for one second. They were outside a city. Off of guards, totems, with no security blanket. You have priests (angel trace). I assume if you were able to narrow it down to a single area they weren't evading everywhere. 99% of people would've owned their target, then gone and sat in no xp loss/guards/totems and chuckled to themselves about a job well done.

Just because its not in a raid doesn't make it lame. If a force is far numerically/with experience (see: two serpents with a minimal interest in combat from what I can tell), they would be stupid to try to mount a raid, and during war this is the next best option available to them (and fits the sl rp well). Maybe they could have picked their targets better, but I'll take them actually going on the offense as a good first step personally.

Tanris

Far inferior numerically/with experience, that is. (</3, edit function).

Zeon

@hhaos Yeah that's nothing.

Akia

He is an extremely credible character.

He is not known for acts of infamy.

He is a member of the Ivory Mark.

He is considered to be approximately 65% of your might.

He is a mentor and able to take on proteges.

His motto: 'Chaos is consumed in sacrifice's purifying fire.'

See HONOURS DEEDS LYR to view his 3 special honours.

Man up.

Tvistor

AFAIK he wasn't complaining about them jumping Refugees. He was complaining about them jumping non-com Refugees, who likely wouldn't be enlisted as soldiers if Shallam was a city.

Akia

Non-coms jumping non-coms, what a terrible world we live in. 

Tvistor

Having L3 bow makes you a combatant if you're a serpent, duh.

Zeon

Tvistor is right but to be fair to Akia I do see a lot of posts from him referring to how people attack/kill him and how pathetic priests are. Though to be fair to lyr usually his posts are in good spirit. There are certainly a plethora of other forum goers that out whine him daily.

They will be addressed in due time.

Niks definitely doesn't count as a noncomm when it comes to war (actively raids etc). Other two sure, probably shouldn't have. However, also have to realise Hashan have barely fought Shallam. They don't know who and who doesn't fight like Ashtan/Mhaldor do, they'll get that through experience.

Argys

I just wanna say, I never expected this thread would reach 12+ pages. It's been -really- awesome reading through and seeing the passion, interest, and opinions from everyone that's posted. Makes me super excited to get more involved, which I'll hopefully be able to do soon.

Tvistor

Tbh, I think it is hilarious when Niks dies for personal reasons.

There were several noncom casualties in that messy Mhaldor-Ashtan war. Just teach Hashan they can't do that by killing those who do. Part of seeking conflict and stuff.

I think you nailed it. Pretty much the whole thing in that statement. Experience. Hashan has a lot of people who has the potential to be combatants, just never had the reason to fight before. Ashtan knew Shallam like the back of her hands. Same with Shallam knowing Ashtan. Knew what they were capable of, that can't be said of Hashan. This is a new ball-game for Hashan.
