Well, enough is enough. I am shutting down the PCM bots effective
immediately. I don't need the bullshit I have gotten here the last few days.
The few people I care about dealing with will know how to find me, and the
rest can go fuck off, for all I care.

Big deal. A group isn't made by one person, it is made by all.

Someone else will just take over, as you did after JustUs was rendered
useless due to the realm splittings. I'm sure you'll be kind enough to
share the database (if you used one anyway) with people willing to take
over.

It is a group's diversity that gives its character.

Me :)
However, a poster named Dalai Lama suggested some changes (IIRC the
more eloquent 'highly inappropriate'). But that's like 4-5 years ago,
can't recall all the details about it. IIRC it was discussed in a
thread in which also DarkHalf and Stalker~||AE|| participated.

Surely not by you. When is the last time you posted anything usefull
here? WHen is the last time you helped anyone here out? WHen was the
last time you gave away anything? Oh, that's right, I forgot, you were
a taker in D1, I still remember the Royal Circlet I gave you. When was
the last time you wrote a guide? When was the last time you organized
a series of games?

Come to think of it, when was the last time you or your partner in
slime posted here for any reason other than to take a potshot at me:?

You are a low llife scumbag, who still hasn't found a way to apologize
to a woman for calling her a name that I wouldn't use when refering to
a $10 drug addicted hooker.

Furthermore dickhead, when was the last time *I* posted to ART? DO you
even know, you loud mouthed gutless fuck? The last post I made there
was my un-sub, over a year ago. Unlike you, I don't lruk in the
shadows waiting to knife someone in the back at the first sign of
discord. Then again, I'm not a coward. The last time I left, the ONLY
and I do mean ONLY reason I came back was because Orchid asked me to.

And as long as we are talking about JustUs, who was it that was banned
by SR, me or you two lame examples of Dutchmen?

You are both completely full of shit, and have nothing much to offer
here in at least 2 years, except to fan flames. A pair of adolescent
losers.

Now to delete this group from Agent, and be done with it.

Mickey - Over, and out

You and Paladijn were both banned by SR in the past. Your point?

I was merely talking actual unsubscribes. I remember at least 3
occurrences where he unsubbed and claimed to never come back.

As I stated, it is not created by one, but by all. The group will do
fine with you and without you or me, or santa... or 0t's wombats.

Last night :)
I fail to see what a dick.length() contest in giving away things has
to do with it though. 'I've given away more stuff then you so I'm
free to insult people that disagree with me!'?!

Amnesia is a bad thing :x
Those that know me can assure you that I've played purist over the
years. The only time I accepted items from others was during the d2
beta and shortly after d2 was released. To me, the game tends to get
boring quite fast if I don't find better stuff (hence I don't have
any l99's but at least 20 palads :)

And you know what the best thing is? If _I_ hand out items, people
will know it was found in a legit way, the same can't be said of
someone who is using maphack and white rings :)

I've done so on a number of occasions, but I've been more of a
reader/lurker since d2exp. I sometimes am tempted to react, mark the
post and don't look back at it (or someone else already replied what
I wanted to reply. You're lucky that I had to work on a project today
so I had the chance to peek at AGD during the testruns :)

That's an expensive one :)
I had my reasons for doing so and explained them on a number of
occasions because _YOU_ felt the need to dig it up.

No clue, I haven't read ART for a year or so.

No, but those statistics aren't really interesting, are they?

That's a game called counterstrike, not usenet :)

Of course not! Who dared to claim such an OUTRAGEOUS thing?
I hope it wasn't those people that were insulted by you while you had
them kfed, the bastards! :x

You left a number of times before, life went on, big deal.
Just as it is now.

You and me after I kindly asked you and Blade to quit trashtalking an
AGD regular? Shortly afterwards MadEd was also banned for commenting
on my ban, but I guess you're referring to Sub as the other 'lame
dutchman'?

You've made this statement before, but AFAIK (and several others) Sub
has never been banned by SR. If you do still read this post, could
you point out when/why this happened? I'm starting to get curious to
be honest.

Yes, I wrote realmguard and posted some serious questions just to
annoy the heck out of you :) Sub hasn't played d2 for over a year so
it's somewhat logical for him not to post regarding d2 issues.

HEY!

You know for a fact that I've played recently, I even made a new

Granted, it was only for a couple hours.. And I don't trade or strive

Besides, you shouldn't feel compelled to post 'useful stuff' just to
have some sort of fuzzy feel-good feeling of participation in this

Reason that I have more palads is that he is a very versatile
character, the same character can be very good in solo-play and co-op
which can't be said about most other charbuilds :(

> And my only 99 ever will be a pala.

I lack the patience for that :)
After a while I'll want a new character, new equip, etc.

Yep, I think there are more pally builds than any other class. Sure,
zealot/avenger are the most common, but all of these skills see use
amongst the various pally subclasses:
Fanatacism(zealots, crusaders, rangers, etc)
Concentration(power zealots, hammerdins)
Conviction(avengers, mages)
Thorns(martyrs, missionaries)
Holy Shock(shock trooper, elemental zealot, shock ranger)
Holy Freeze(good for any build, and also frost crusaders and frost
rangers)
Holy Fire(chipadin)
Vigor(1 point wonder skill, any build. especially good for rangers and
crusaders)
Cleansing(good 1 point wonder skill for any class)
Salvation(1 point wonder skill, especially for monks/clerics)
Redemption(same as Salvation)
Meditation(Same as Salvation, also useful for mages and other hammer
users)
Defiance(defiants)
Zeal(zealots, power zealots, good backup for most builds)
Vengeance(avengers, defiants)
Blessed Hammer(hammerdin, judicator, vanquisher)
Fist of the Heavens(mage, liberator, judicator)
Holy Bolt(cleric, monk)
Charge(crusaders, liberators, vanquishers)
Smite(vindicators, judicators)
Holy Shield(any melee build)
Conversion(missionaries)
Salvation(undead hunter)
Sacrifice(flagellants, martys)

Hell, I think the only pally skills that don't have ANY build that
uses them are Might(always replaced by Conc/Fana) and the single
resist auras...

Plus, I think paladins are the only class that can be given ANY
weapon(aside from class specific orbs and claws) and have a build
based around it:
Big 2 handed weapons like mauls, 2 handed axes, and spears are popular
amongst chargers. Bows/xbows are a ranger's weapon. Javelins and
throwning weapons are often used for hybrid zealot/thrower builds.
Swords/Maces/Scepters/Flails/Axes are all common amongst zealots and
other melee builds. Staves are the weapon of choice for a monk and
some missionaries. Even 1 unique dagger is commonly used by
mages(Wizspike), although I think that's the only time I see pallies
using daggers;-)

Aww. If I were you I wouldn't let a couple of guys I think so little
of drive me off.
OTOH, I wouldn't egg them on by flaming them back either. Especially

Google is your friend. Look back several years ago. Clan Justus, as

Too long, I'd say. But it's the same old thing; you get used to it.

This special person sees through your eyes, shares the air you breathe,
feels your pain 100 times worse, cries tears born in your eyes, makes
you smile, even through the worst times. This person knows everything
about you. Love doesn't fake itself. When you're not with this person,
you miss them so much. But you know deep in your heart that they're
with you always. Distance is only a test of how far love can travel.
Love doesn't have a definition. It's a sense of knowing it's truly there.
Cuz when it arrives, it won't deceive you."

You think it's possible to wear short out? One too many blamings?

You should, 1.10 will probably have most players restart their chars.
Along with the changes it'll be like the old days :)

Played Diablo since IIRC spring '97 offline, IIRC 6 sept '98 online, up
to both d2beta's, d2 and d2exp now. So yes, I'm a dinosaur in that
aspect :)

Diablo1 overkilled me though, it will probably be the computergame I
played most in my life :x Apart from the userinterface diablo2 sucks in
comparison to it's original IMHO.

I doubt that, personally. They may get skill points if they boost
other skills(although even that I won't count too highly on, as
pumping 3 single resist auras really limites the pallies other
options), but even then I suspect they won't actually be used...

Full poetic license. Muleadin=a mule that happened to be a pally;-)

He was actually a generic zealot, but he bored me, thus became a mule.

Yep. Works like a charm in an all-pally team, which is one wonderful

Well, since I don't really play variants I tend to have some spare
points over in a while. The lgth res aura may be a nice thing to have

Oh no, not another X-Com subthread :P

Terror from the Deep was superb! Too bad you need a slow comp to play
it decently, although there is a directx version out (which is really,
really crappy).

Yeah I think I will... I need to get a char through normal so I can start

try to stretch the study-thing for as long as you can... I seriously
haven't a clue what to do now :)... (I'll figure something out, of
course, but that's not the point ;) )

That's the fun bit :) I like building new characters better than having
kill-all high levels anyway... (mainly because most of my hcs die at
level 50-60, but, again, that's not the point ;) )

True, true :)
Considering going for that extra year though, it seems the title is
internationaly accepted which is nice if you work abroad (even within
the EU), and well perhaps I'll work for a year.. I must admit, I'm
not sure about what to do next, time will tell :)

:P I really don't like that.. I play on the edge often, or even alt-
tab to answer ICQmsgs during hardcore games. That's rather unhealthy
:x
