The big problem with Whytebot was that, back in those days, you could legit win a real fight with nothing but tipslash or standing ccuts and the only thing preventing terrible people from doing that was that they couldn't heal their way out of a wet paper sack. When healing went universal and you couldn't lock Lorccan in 3 crappy broadsword DSLs anymore, that stuff got ridiculous very quickly.
"On the battlefield I am a god. I love war. The steel, the smell, the corpses. I wish there were more. On the first day I drove the Northmen back alone at the ford. Alone! On the second I carried the bridge! Me! Yesterday I climbed the Heroes! I love war! I… I wish it wasn’t over."
I was more amused at the Chicken Little act than anything, really. It was a much smaller minority when Garryn debuted autocuring as opposed to Whytebot.

People always assume the worse. Take you. You're like a self-fulfilling chicken little. The end is nigh! Wait, the end isn't nigh? Well damnit, I will make it look like the end is nigh! CRUEL LAMENT, hoooooo.
Internet populations are pretty resistant to change. Global healing would (and did) shift the 'power' around the game by making l33t sawce healing available to everyone. They're not 'wrong' for wanting to keep generalized healing down, just selfish. A lot of the arguments and predictions weren't too far from the mark either, so at least they were logically thinking things out. The best part is seeing how some people's opinions have changed as they've aged and the game has changed. It's more fun to look at that that snipe people for 7 year old opinions. At least their opinions progressed
I heart being back and finally having time to breathe. There's something about graduating, having a wedding, and moving cross-country in 3 weeks that tends to drive one a little crazy.
I also feel like I missed a lot, so I guess that belongs more in I Hate, but eh.

I don't think I've raved about this before, but I absolutely love, love, love plogs. They're amazing for tracking our guild's advancement. No more number tallies and project editing!
As you tentatively open the small box, it bursts into brilliant golden light that blinds you completely. As your vision slowly clears, a weak, quavering voice says, "I may be gone, Ario, but you shall take a piece of me with you..."
You have been granted ..... and a gleaming phylactery.
And all the ambience messages I'm now seeing coming through, i.e.;
Though bereft of a stirring breeze, the branches of the redwoods overhead sway and clatter together in an eerie cacophony
of noise. Blinking rapidly, you realize you must have been hallucinating.
@Ladaia, @Ario, @Gireen, @Brishi, @Shou for giving us an entertaining hour - fighting over nothing, fighting really badly, fighting in new classes but fighting nonetheless. +1 to Ladaia for successfully implementing a new strategy mid-fight, Khizan, your protege is doing well.

My inner nerd is drawing all sorts of symbolism theories. Is that Lionas' skull you're wearing?

What matters here is I cleaved Bathan randomly in the middle of a melee.
Now I'm only like 6 behind.
