Well, there we've got a few jobs done and a spontaneous invitation to some corp and some early grinding going on.

And apparently I flubbed up as far as what skills Pilot needed.  Ah well.  May not be an ace, but I should still be able to get to a passable level.  Locksmith's still a future goal too.

And wahoo, first medic raw is such a lovely, happy, shiny grind...


I've had thoughts before about rolling someone with high Brains and Cool, and then making early money off of scamming.  But then I have a sneaky suspicion that I'd be even more pathetically hopeless at combat than I am now, which is saying quite a bit.

[Dirg]

Well if you don't mind spending a little money, you can always buy a bit of clothing from that store in the gated community north of FC. Depending on what you wear, even a guy with extremely low brains and cool can reliably scam.

[Kagus]

Reliably, yeah (well, semi-reliably), but the payouts aren't as big.  With big stats you can pull in 1-2k+ from your average rube, and the W-U employees are even more loaded than your standard Slagtown Slag.  I dabbled in the whole "put four tophats on and get that diamond grill, Chudnigga" back in the old days, but I saw the Brains/Cool combo as having some potentially interesting opportunities, like possibly branching into blades or pistols instead of (the then god-awful without godlike specialization) whips, or maybe being able to handle explosives without freaking out and jamming an A-bomb through your skull in panic.


I just have to remind myself that I'm actually not that bad-off at the moment, and that the build I have could potentially get very useful.  It's just...  EARLY RAWS!  YAY!  DEATH BY DOGS!  YAY!

Hey, screw you, Beorn and I rocked whips before they got buffed to hell and back.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my death screams.

Although, having been a crafter build anyways, I probably shouldn't be griping about not being able to lay down the whuppin'.  It's just that I was simmin' smoothly and crafting armadillo suits while installing/removing implants and performing brain surgery, and the most threatening enemy I could reliably take on solo was a Bradbury zombie.  And even then, just the one at a time.

Welp, the griefers are back. The P corp is very scary and killing everyone, so watch out for them. Lost all my stuff because I was idling :S Luckily I have some money because cams aren't so hard to get now, so I managed to get at least one modded Flash Whip from Sargos and some cheap armor.

What? There's enough people around for griefer corps to be around now?

Theres always griefers in the woodwork.

So, I want to try this out but I can't connect - attempting to connect to hell.meux.org just disconnects me instantly and the wiki link in the OP leads nowhere.

I'm using MUSHclient. Halp?

OK so I found an actually working wiki, sorta, and found what the actual address is. But attempting to connect results in a connection refused error.

Since people don't pay attention, repost.

[Ivefan]

Didn't someone else have that problem? or atleast a similar one because his ISP had gotten banned somehow.

[Kagus]

Does seem a bit funny that someone who hasn't played yet will already have been banned, but I guess that might be possible if Mada really did ban entire IP ranges.

I used MUSHclient because SimpleMU decided it didn't want to live anymore, and I got in just fine.  Just plugged in the name, address and port, and up it came.

Wonder if I should reroll and take up being a gay elf magic using hobo abom again

Or maybe be a brainspire...

Be either zombie or abom, live in the ocean and come up only to terrorize people with flails and wrestle, then slip back under the waves.

~spooky~

[Kagus]

Well, alright.  Just got told by Morgan that my build is effectively worthless.  Interesting.

So, apparently, thanks to the way gymming and raws are handled now, the really only effective or reasonable alternative is to roll a combat build, max out your fightin' skills and then gym whatever support thingies you might want.


Seems terribly uniform to me.

[Ivefan]

I managed fine with by advancing brain skills and guns simultaneous when i played. didn't leave FC nor jump anything hard for a while though but i didn't really need to either.
