Eh? What are you saying? I fucking love the PVP. It's just not the end goal.

Also you are wrong, the PvE arena literally just opened up.

Then you should appreciate people testing your team.  That said, if any one person attacking can look forward to a 4x backlash, you're going to have a serious chilling effect on PVP.

Eh, these guys hardly follow what I say anyway. Usually it's 2 on one for a bit.

((he...never said he did not like it. once all the big bads are killed I would love if the max player count were up and it was team derm vs unaligned players. or maybe even a war between to teams. there is no telling how the game will evolve))

((oh and thanks for the words lost. I don't think we had those....))

I can't say anything against opportunistic behavior- it's an extremely valid strategy and one I've been following.  I can't even blame you personally for coming to NAV's defense; I'll gladly take both of you on at once.  (Flimsy, whatever, but he needs to look at his statline and consider how hard he'll get wrecked if someone even looks at him funny.)

But if you call in Beirus, you're just scared, and I will look at you and shake my head in disappointment.


And that's all I have to say on the matter.

Me and Beirus are actually literally the only ones with a decent statline. Every other member decided to hardline pool for some reason, and endless was endless.

Beirus is a god dragon, he do what he wants.

If the PvP can't survive a simple team-up, then it could stand to be improved. Competition is well and good and all, but no need for artificial creation.

Also, I have a bad feeling that I'm going to die very very quickly.

It doesn't help that I've forgotten a lot of how to play the game effectively.

Ah well. There's always self-improvement.

Flimsy Wizard needs to be flimsy. If they weren't, I'd need to think up another name, and that would be horrible.

((Actually, I had a better idea!))

"Hey Orc guy!  You want I leave your buddy alone?  I'll make you a deal, then.  Fight me one on one, with no help from your friends.  If I win, your buddy lives.  If I die... well, I'm dead.  How's that sound to you?"

"Just so we're clear my half of the agreement is just that I'm not going to whine if they don't help. If they do it anyway or just don't change their action I'm not telling them off."

I leave for a short while and I come back to WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

"Hey jackass, NAV Joined up a few turns ago!"

Also Bigfoot killed Endless, who was also a teammate.


Yeah we had 5/8ths of the entire arena on one team.
Funny thing is the moment you said "you two F#ed up" I knew this was coming  ::)
Also HAD. It's now 50-50 :P

So will the fact that I had previously literally saved your life in this arena and created equipment for you out-of-pocket have any effect on my life expectancy?
Also Toaster is MY ally, so yea. ;D
I'll probably be coming over there as "incentive" to make sure your teammates honor the deal struck above.

Maybe we can all emerge from this as Gentlemen. Cold-blooded murdering Gentlemen.
