The Gauntlet

[Badstench]

This thread is for players who have a master plan, and want to announce it.

Responses are only welcomed if you can "put your money where your mouth is" (so to speak).

Proof is in the pudding.

Actions speak louder than words.

The hurdle is only as high as the last jumper.

ummm... the cake is in the oven.... eh????

[Badstench]

Badstench is sending out a warning... I have a plan for Judge Fury that will see his MR increase by 11 points. This will happen in approximately 3 weeks, at which time he will make a serious assault on the leaderboards at Zumryn's battlegrounds.

You have been duly notorized. Stop me if you dare!

Edit: i kept looking at "notorized", and felt uncomfortable about the spelling. so i used Dictionary.com and discovered the 'z' should be an 's'. that surprized me. I agonized over a zimple miss-spelling, and worked out that I waz correct all along. Itz the difference between English ans American, and we all know americanz are bonkerz!

[Elrond]

In about 4-6 weeks, I'll have the top MR ranking exclusively (currently shared with Bountyhunter). All I need is to get 130K xp to weaponry and to general to reach legendary weaponry!

[thingirl]

And I fight with this guy?

My plan is to get all of Alanne's skills to 80 by this time next week. (Her lowest skills are Lances and Troll-Bont, which are both at 79 with no XP to them.)

I am working on getting Restoration to 100

Good I welcome the challenge. I will let you know that when or if you get past my levels in the BHC & LoO I will re-take my top spot.

[Badstench]

The gauntlet has been accepted, folks... now... my foot is firmly attached to my leg. Let's hope it stays there, as opposed to being in my mouth.

regardless, smv1973... i know my projected MR won't gazump yours, but I think we both know how I have achieved my current rank at Zumryn's. When i boast about increasing my MR by 11 points, I should also mention that my NV will also go up.

Was that an earthquake, or was it Thordon shaking in his boots?

[thingirl]

Well, I'm in Tarn now. Although, I can't seem to concentrate...

That shake was not hard enough to break a soap bubble.

[Joddelle]

His little prick did not pop the bubble of your ego?

[thingirl]

OH MY ***!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joddelle, do you have ANY scene of what NOT to say?

[smv1973]

What ego? Not me, and no it did not.

[Badstench]

This is an edited version of a private message between me and smv1973:

thought I'd have some fun with this... I hope I didn't come across as sounding arrogant.

But I betcha.... peeps will watch the leaderboards in 3 weeks.

man, I really know how to apply pressure to myself!

This is dependent on my attaining level 100 hacking.

Heck, I better get busy!

The bits I edited out were an explanation of how I planned to see my MR rise by +11. smv1973 actually helped me to realize a higher MR without spending more than I've committed to.

Gosh. What a guy! I might feel sorry when I kick his mule!

See I am a nice guy.

[wetheril]

I am looking forward to the results of this "master plan"! And yes, I am also putting pressure on the pot. ;)

[Joddelle]

My master plan does not involve assassination of anyone who may not have me in their will. Conformation of my Heir status may alter this plan.

As I responded to Racey's post in Fang Ridge, "why do so many people want to see me dead?" :confused:

[Daffanka]

By the end of October I want to be done with all the new content, complete the Bowl of Blood and get my conjuration to 70 so all my powers are at that point. Also a fully upgraded Finger, and the my Ice Cave runs would ideally be at 20>.

Ambitious stuff, I know. ;)

You know, I did edit that. And people want you dead because they want your stuff.

[Badstench]

The Ogres were vicitim to a practice run. With just 5 of the projected +11SP, Judge Fury is snapping at Thordon's heels.

[thingirl]

My plan is to get all of Alanne's skills to 80 by this time next week. (Her lowest skills are Lances and Troll-Bont, which are both at 79 with no XP to them.)

I posted that a week ago at 8PM. It is now 4PM. With only 4 hours to spare, I an pleased to announce that all of Alanne's skills are at 80 or higher.

[Joddelle]

Badstench starts this thread, and suddenly a new unannounced adventure with the same name appears in Hawklor?

Hmmm...

I'm gunnin' for Adventure Rank # 300 . . . just as soon as I am able to lift this weighty gauntlet and throw it down without hurting myself, that is.... so all you slackers watch-out.:D

[thingirl]

I like yout siggie :). But you might want to add a ;) in there.

[Lightwielder]

Here's an incentive to all who took the challenge. I will give a negative rep' to anyone and everyone who took the challenge, but could not complete it before their specified time.

The stakes have risen. Don't take the challenge if you really CAN'T put your money where your mouth is.

[Oldschool]

Shameless double post from the appropriately titled "Shameless Bragging" thread.

Well I didn't announce this "master plan" but it has been realized nonetheless. So......................

Woot woot......... finally after some swapping of headgear and a fairly good bump from Fogbough's pool/shrooms all four of my AGs are in the top 100.

Rank Adventurer

#30 Hawk (oldschool)

#85 Esoteric (oldschool)

#89 Virago (oldschool)

#97 Voltan (oldschool)

Voltan's been right on the edge until I swapped out Kozuron's Hood for the Magnificeint Iron Helm. Also none of the secondaries have the Bowl of Blood bonus yet and are sitting on between 292k to 335k general xp give or take a few hundred.

Probably won't last since I don't have the time to keep the secondaries grinding rate up there but my plan was to get all four there for however long or brief.

[Badstench]

Self-imposed gauntlet mission accomplished:

You're currently at level 226. Are you sure you want to exit the challenge now?

And the answer to that question was... "Hell, yes!"

Getting that last kill was sooooo stressful... I was damned if I was going to come away even with Thordon.

No offense smv1973... I'm just glad I don't have to put my feet anywhere near my mouth... and now you have a new goal to achieve. I won't be trying to beat level 226 for a while.

[wetheril]

LOL! Good job, and have a well-deserved rep. :)

Goal get back the number one spot in the BHC. Goal has been achieved.


Thordon back to the #1 spot at the BHC. Level 230 is his new top level.


< 1 minute ago Thordon bowed out of The Bone Horde Challenge at level 230.

What I want to know is how long will it be until you and Badstench double everyone else's level for BHC...

Awesome job, both of you....and repped of course

Adv. Rank # 441 10/11/09
Adv. Rank # 416 10/16/09 :Dbig jump from yesterday... watch-out #300 here I come!:D
Well it happened my character deserted me :(:o:( bad handler- bad! I started over with a much easier-natured character and she seems to be doing great; maybe someday I will be able to play with the big boyz and tough galz :( but not today.

[Elrond]

It took 19 days thanks to some generous rewards from the GM; but I've hit lvl 100 weaponry; and my MR ranking is No. 1.

As Badstench said, I'm glad I don't have to put my foot where my mouth is!

[spencer]

I am working on getting Restoration to 100

I am now at level 97....dang it takes a long time to level up Powers.

[Badstench]

I have noted that overall ranks 6, 7 and 8 are currently being hotly contested.

Judge Fury, Spencer Lionking and Shadowblack are swapping places with regularity. Whetehr this is because of rises in abilities or forgetting to equip the most favourable items before we save and quit.... shrug.

Still, I've stopped grinding, so good luck to Spencer Lionking and Shadowblack... I am resigned to battling with positions 9 and 10 soon.

[spencer]

Here's hoping you catch the grinding bug again soon. I love the competition, but I completely understand why you have ceased with it for now.

[Oldschool]

My two cents.....

Well Badstench has the Sryth grinding distraction of summer south of the equator and all its real life accomplices. Whereas us folks (some of us at least) north of it have winter and more "housebound" time.

However even with 2 feet of melting snow on the ground I still find many of my own "real life accomplices" interfering with my game time.

Here, where I live, we don't get snow. Only freezing cold air. I usually spend most of my time inside because of that, playing EQ2 and Sryth.(Depending on the mood.)
