You know, looking over the posts these last few minutes, I noticed something a bit interesting.  It seems that we have an inordinant number of Studens of Divinity and Students of Nature.  Also, Student of Martial Arts is popular.

The other classes feel a bit under-represented.

I think it has to do with the name.  "Student of Divinity" sounds much more compelling than "Student of Neutral Magic."  The latter sounds like you can't get your spell in gear.  The former makes you sound like an aspiring god.

Are you threatening me, EUOL?

The smell will be gone soon as Servants are allowed/required to bathe regularly.

A free servant is worlds better than Camel Poo Expert, whatever the rest of you say.

You watch out--she might have Sprig (who's of the same class) come beat you up.  He's level 34, after all--his camel poo days are far behind him.

It's ok, I'll use my power of holiness to defend him. I am level 34, after all, my days of cathedral sweeping far behind me. :)

Take a look at mine and you will see what happens when you don't bother leveling up at all. My stats are still at level 1 :D
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I haven't leveled for like, 20 levels. You don't want me to take you up on that challenge, do you sprig?

Spriggan shouldn't care.  Once you're level 30+ having a stigma is cool.  So MoD, I will continue to tease you for another 20 or so levels.

Did I mention how pleased I am at having found someone to tease now that I've left my 13 year old sister back in WA?

If you like teasing MoD, you're in the wrong AORP group. Carl's sole purpose in life is to annoy Natira and Brenna.

As for fighting, I think we could arrange a pit fight between SE and Spriggan, moderated by me. The rules are simple--you post your tactics, and I put them into our top secret MMMORPGF Defenestrator to determine who wins.

which means you basically choose?

I'm going to have to rely on my luck, as that has been what I've focussed on. I'm very lucky.

Would you factor in how MoD would pass one of those metal folding chairs to Spriggan when the refs weren't looking?

Gotta love the TWWF (Time Waster's Wrestling Federation.)

See, I don't htink that would come up. I think MoD is stubborn enough that she would want to beat me up on her own terms. Besides, I'm lucky, remember? She's trip or something, breaking his shin when the chair hits him.
