I just don't see why anyone would be so hellbent on keeping the spell in the game that making changes and jumping through hoops like this is worth the bother. It's essentially an uninteresting spell with a single purpose, griefing.

It honestly baffles me that someone could even object to me logging out under those circumstances. It's a position I can't relate to at all or even begin to understand. I thought people would object to the 6v1 voodoo ganks, which are pretty much the definition of lameness and poor sportsmanship. And no, I don't consider voodoo to be a part of pvp any more than I consider IMMs using the slay command to be part of pvp.

It has always been considered lame to participate in PvP and then immediately log out, and honestly until recently I was pretty sure it was curse-worthy. It's one thing to get jumped right before logging out, run away and then log out, but taking an active part in PK, like YOU did, and then logging out for the sole reason of not getting inevitably ganked afterwards is terribly poor form.

Just ignoring part of the game by logging out whenever it comes up is stupid. That's like Ardith logging out whenever he's outnumbered on the who list, except worse because it's coming from you and you know better.


And you really need to stop being asinine and acting like voodoo is a slay command with absolutely no countermeasures. You apparently can think of a million ways to stop the extremely lame way to counteract how you lured Trag to a "mentoring" session to have him jumped, and I'm sure that you could think up some equally cunning plans to counter voodoo. You just don't want to, because it's hard.

It wasn't not a 6v1 voodoo gank.

I didn't realize that passively receiving a robe from someone constituted PK. And the only ways to deal with voodoo when someone has a doll of you and no allies are online is to go to a no-magic room or an ocean room, neither of which are fun. Stop slobbering all over my nuts because I'd rather watch hulu than idle in a no-magic room.

You took her EQ because you knew she was going to get involved in PK, then logged out when the inevitable (They realized you carried her crap and thus saved it all) happened.

You think -I- can be a dumbass sometimes?

Baldric, there is absolutely no way to excuse what you did. I can't fault you for not wanting to die, for not wanting to lose your loot, but logging out right after you realized that hiding under your cabal spell in your HQ won't save you is inexcusable.

And let me also remind you that peso would not have wanted to voodoo Gemma had she not assaulted him prior to that. She was warned, acted and when the time came to deal with the ramifications of her actions she gave her loot away and that person logged out.

Horribly poor sportsmanship.

The simple fact is in highnsight, baldric could have ganked mibbiwocket outside of Losache when the entire rest of my group went to go find Gemma's cropse and took 3-4 mins;(

Honestly, the only thing I find inexcusable is the tactics that team lightie were employing. There's no reason to respond to their poor sportsmanship by sitting on my thumb and dying to the slay command. You guys are just butthurt that you can't have my loot.
