I say this in a non flaming manner; you guys ganked in style.. Not pets and very minimal dismounting.
I just do not know why TnT chose to hide, cherry pick, and loot rather than actively join the fight. Don't really bother me but damn that could have turned into a really big fight long lasting fight had they started attacking a few of you instead of dismounting and looting us while we were fighting yall 3 v 7 or 8. Instead we had a few minutes of fun and everyone was coolign thier heels while we burned stat.
Thx to JSV/WCB for the generosity and low back buy prices on suits last night. Now if I just remember to stay in my guildies' para fields while remounting I'll be just fine

Tnt pvp has gone down hill. I don't think they had one shown template on last night. We fought them for awile then they all brought out blue tamers. So it turned into three tamers ganking boba fett and us healing him. Good show indeed!
First, running a shown template against the numbers you guys had last night would have meant certain death.
Second, I do'nt think to many people can accuse me of house hiding or hiding behind tamers.
I stick around way longer than any smart person would choose to...

Numbers were pretty even, considering you guys had 3 GD's...
ya, we had to bring out dragons because you guys had huge numbers. In case you hadn't noticed Neo was trying to run just a straight archer...but against those numbers we had to do something.
And we held our own. Didn't get to loot many but we did alright...

And referencing TONIGHTs fight...Calypso why don't you try not talking ****. It is easy to do when you have 8 people on and TnT has myself and 1 or 2 others (depending on when it was).
Gets a little frustrating when outnumbered that badly, then I see Goodah dismounting. It would be easier to just go sit in the house and let you all be bored. But i was actually out there trying so kill the **** talk would ya. Pretty pathetic.

It's 3 on 5 now and you STILL won't fight. Two guys in GM gear.
ya, it was really 3 on 5...i am impressed by your ability to count
When I posted that..
Kael
Calypsis
Havik
Ninja
Fanta
Alacric Dragon
Shay
Nixon
And we had Goodah, Hatter, and Cali coming in and out, but when you just died it was because your guildies just stayed hidden, and Elvis stumbled around.

You may be right, nonetheless I tire of your stupid dribble in game commenting on how people play.
At least I was out there trying to engage. And I had 8 bars including a dismounter pulled, and just a few minutes befor that they were ALL orange at the same time.

I have odd play times. If I have good weather I'm always at work. If it's rain or snow I'm at home playing uo. ^^Give it a couple days....Seems to be the way JSV/WCB works. They will roll deep for about a week, then you wont see them again for a month or so

Kinda like what SP did? running against those numbers? TnT cant say anything about the shard not respecting them...its because of this philosophy...lol
just an opinion I have thats all....
What kind of philosophy are you thinking? Intelligence? I do not particularly enjoy fights where it is pretty much certain death. I might as well just get undressed and hand all of my arties to them and go watch TV if that is what I want...
And ya, SP went out and died. Ok, so they didn't use tamers....they still died. While you can respect them for going out and fighting...THEY STILL DIED. It was crazy odds, and not doing something to try and even the odds if you had the ability to do so was just being stupid.
For example...last night I was being stupid. Again, crazy odds and I died. I should have just sat in front of the TV eating popcorn. Would have been much less frustrating...
Oh, and log in every now and again. I need an easy kill....

You call it stupidity? I call it coward....just my opinion....thats the difference in philosophy....its not real life! its a game made up of ones and zeros....but if your having fun hiding and stealthing have fun with that. Respect isnt that importantant anyway right? Its all TnT has ever wanted but never attained...just trying to point that out....
I am currently working out of town right now which my guild knows...but when I get back for a break, we can duel it up and Ill give you that chance for the easy kill.....
It is a game, but I still spend real life time and resources playing it. So I like to play it smart...
Oh, and one more thing...respect from the likes of (some in) your guild. No, not really that important.
You see, I respect people who know how to handle themselves and the words they say. Those that use profanity or insult other people just for the sake of insulting them, I really don't want to be respected by them. If I was respected by the likes of that kind; then I have likely stuped to their level.
I have always tried to treat people respectfully in and out of game. When Speedy throws insults in the game just for the sake of insulting; then I have no desire to be respected by him. Those that know me and fight with me, and listen to the words I use (and do not use); they can make up their own mind as to whether or not I should be respected. Being the best fighter on the shard (like Sakie) is impressive; but it is not in and of itself worthy of respect.
And yes, the style of play that I enjoy has always been stealth based. Always has, likely always will be.

Ya, SP! Fought about 3v6, but guess what, we sold their arties back dirt cheap, and gave back their other items(like 6 stat robes, etc) for free. And I will continue to do so, because they play the game the way a PvPer should.
Ya know Elmer, when I met you I had no idea you were this kind of person. I guess you hid it well.
Have a good day.

Amanda the difference between your philosophy and mine is that I play this game to have fun. Fun for me is pvping whether odds are in my favor or they arent. I dont care. I play for the fight, not the win or lose, or your win at all cost attitude. You also wanna talk about how people act in game, I guess you werent around when I posted those screen shots of your guild turds hurling racist remarks at me. Yes I died to JSV, they didnt have any pets or anything but i did die. Big deal I knew going in that i would prolly die, but i choose to have some balls and fight. Something I see by namin yourself Amanda you have no balls.
Who is hugi still trying to convince? all i remember is 30+ blue WAKA's with you until you finally became red and switched to stealth dismount ganker. lol all you care about is the odds otherwise you dont fight.
Actually Hugi, you missed the difference.
1. I actually enjoy the stealth part of the game( the surprise, the running around amongst the enemy, the cat and mouse) as much as the PvP. So I do it because that is what I enjoy. Not because, according to you, I have no balls.
2. Another difference is that I try and conduct myself in such a way as to not need to insult others to get my point across. Your paragraph above was very articulate, and you made your point well. And then you chose to throw in an insult for good measure. It was unneeded, added nothing, and wasted letters (wasted breath).
Which leads me right back to the post I made earlier:
"Oh, and one more thing...respect from the likes of (some in) your guild. No, not really that important."
Goodguy remember that time I stripped down naked, and kill you with a blood oath painspike? God I hope you're off somewhere working on your PvP skills Rocky IV style.
I think it is really funny that people are like "OMG Speedy trash talks in game!" I do it because I know you're reading it, and it pisses you off. I am in vent, and a guild, and a party, do you really think I just say to everyone "Amanda must be good. She runs hiding AND stealth!" because I actually mean it? No, I say it to try to goad you out. My point is you were not that out numbered. I fight TnT 3v1 and 4v1 all the time, on a template that is not set up for such game play, but I do it. It isn't even so much about having balls, as it is playing the game. It's not like when you die someone takes 5 dollars out of your wallet. You realize you could play your template in GM gear, with 45HCI and be just as effective, right? You pop out, AI one time, then Shay'lei finishes them off. If you're THAT worried about losing the suit, don't play it. It is not fun sitting in a house, I've done it before.
First off we run a ton a ton of shown templates.
Second off when has TnT ever needed to complain about numbers?
So, our shown templates + your numbers = im calling you on your Bull ****.
Third off you accualy do fight,
u amanda
Only thing that made no sense to me was TNT, who were also outnumbered, taking pot shots at us while we fought the JSV hoarde on SHOWN templates.
I do not understand the tactics involved there unless the prime goal was to see us dead and looted while leaving an unsurrmountable JSV force in complete control of the battlefield. Bad tactics really. Our little 3 man squad had already put one or two of them in stat before TNT tipped the scales way beyond our capacity to handle.
So we have SP removed from the field, JSV in complete control with no one to fight them, and TNT either in houses or stealthing about. I fail to see the fun in this scenario. Played correctly, it could have been a very big fight that ended in TNT and SP fighting each other over looting rights to fallen JSV corpses...
JSV get this; rarely have I seen those guys jump us when we are fighting 123456 TNT (it does happen) or Jump TNT when they are outnumbered heavily by us.
We all need to start considering the bigger pvp picture and not be so hung up on making bank from selling faction loots. that being said; all three of us turning on M-D serves a higher purpose than fostering good pvp.

WTF is this "shown template" crap? So now you have to be shown 100% of the time to be considered ballzy? Wow.
Stealthing as an assassin is one thing. Your template calls for you to track, pop out, death strike, AI, throw a conflag, and scare the **** out of them. But an archer? I see multiple archers now who do the same thing...2-3 pop out, attack one target to try to kill them, then instantly smoke bomb as SOON as they take a point of damage. An archer is a melee template, with very high damage output. I'm really tired of fighting these guys, they get me low, I stay and rally, and as soon as I double curse them, they hit smoke bomb. That is not being an assassin, that is being a pansy. My brother played a VERY successful alchy/DP template in P16, he was a true assassin. Adam Ant was a true assassin. This crap is not.

SP classic rants. wah wah wah YOUR template sucks, YOU are gimp, YOU are not a real pvper. How about instead of ranting and crying you just go out and put detect on your template?
ALL templates have counters. Well except parry mages running speedhack. Unkillable.

That has to be the most laughable statement made in this whole thread. Have you ever TRIED to hit a parry mage with archery. Wiff, wiff, wiff, parry, HIT, wiff, wiff....
I would have more hits playing battleship...
A parry mage, sure. But a stealth dexer? Or a necro mage? Archers used to tear me up.
well you are complaining that i run stealth template...and you and 1/2 of all the other mages and dexxers run parry.
I don't see to many people these days that are not running it.
My damage output is nowhere near what it used to be...

We do have a guy running detect in much the same manner you run your disco tamer; non factioned
. last couple times he's taken the field you all scurry like cock roaches.....

I agree with you about the smoke bombs and think they should remove them from the game. They are totally unfair and some people abuse them. If a mage is too powerful and I need to get out of there i do it the old fashion way, I wait for him to pause while he's casting and I hit the corner and use the hiding skill. I have it down to such an art people accuse me of using smoke bombs all the time and I don't even carry any around with me, I'm just a true legendary hider.

me thinkst amanda shade doth protest too much... But honestly how can a pack of mages (easily the most powerful damage delivery/fastest healing system in game mechanics) whine about stealthers . If you wana fault tnt, it has more to do with their "if we don't have 10 guys we can't leave the house" technique. That is truly lame.ss
Those are the fights I enjoy the most. The fights where I shouldn't win, seems like I couldn't win... but lo and behold... I win or die trying.
I'm sure you're thinking what you do is somehow smart and wondering why no one respects you for doing it. PvP is about the fight, not the win.
