Let's ask UOD's opinion, cialis, scout, saint (although your newer) curly. How often did u guys mention to me in vent that malador was seen at a fight and i rushed over there as soon as i could, most of the time to never find him or to find his body to never see him again? How often did you ever hear in vent that malador was EVER attacking me? And how many times did we all sit in vent laughing at one of mals rediculous posts and his pathetic obsession with me spread with all of his lies and stories?
I preferred to stay away from this *yawn* thread, but since I have temporary electricity for the first time in 2 1/2 days (at a friends house...New Hampshire 400,000 people without power from the ice storm) I figured I'd relax and read some new posts.
Oh well, no new good posts, but I did see my name mentioned here so I'll reply.
I've been in UOD for 2 months. For the record, it's the funnest group I've joined in my 7 1/2 yrs & 4 guilds of UO (yes, 4 guilds total, even though peeps like calling me a guild hopper). lol
Anyhow, in that 2 months I believe I've seen Sieg (Still Frame/kadaj) in vent a total of maybe 4 hours...maybe. Before UOD I was in TDR with him for maybe 4 months, and heard him in vent for another 4 hrs total. So no, personally I did not hear much of anyone attacking him.
I do see Malador quite often attacking UOD though, so I can vouch he doesn't just sit in the gate spamming guards. He generally flags one guy (like he should), fights, gets to gz when necessary. No big deal. Yes, often times he gets jumped when he's too far out of gz, and yes other times he's part of the gank vs one player. Again, no big deal. It's Yew gate. He's not afraid to 1v1. He's not afraid to leave gz. He's not afraid to initiate an attack.
Just callin' it like I see it, regardless of my tags (which I never hide btw).
Sieg did proclaim to be the most "skilled" player in UOD the other day, so what do I know. I play a mage 1-2% of the time (more like .5-1% actually). So my opinion doesn't count since I can only point and click or say all kill. I do know that a stealth/mage is cutesy and fun to play (I played one a year and a half ago on Napa), but it will never make my Top 5 list templates to fear fighting. Bleed nixes lil smoke bombs, and a deathstriking mage just doesn't make me want to run.
But like I said, what do I know. I don't think I've mage dueled 10 times in my 7 1/2 years, so obviously my opinion is worthless.
Malador's guild is small, but they do show up to play.
