Here is a new "sport" I thought up. Actually I'm not sure if "sport" is the right word to describe the game. The object is to survive as long as you can. It is very fun, but be sure to train all your xp before playing. This is a nice game to play just before reinc. You should hack a fast modem or a direct network connection to play. Don't play with a slow modem, you will die. *1* The first step is to get a few highbies mad at you. Highbies are very powerful (not as much as wizzes, but still pleanty powerful) and therefore quite a challenge. Here are some suggested ways to do this: Healer: Heal a monster they a fighting, or heal a monster they were trying to kill but ran away from to heal themselves up. Be sure to claim responsibility in the case of the latter. Mage: Cast attack spells at a monster they are trying to kill, just as it is about to die. Tank: Use one of your attack skills on a tough monster they're fighting, just as it's about to die. Of finish off a monster they were fighting and ran away from -- be sure to claim responsibility. If you have enough levels, there are pleanty of annoying spells like Summon that you have at your disposal for doing this. Repeat as necessary. *2* Once you are in a dangerous situation, try to survive as long as you can. During this time, it is best to ignore anyone who gives you a tell. Highbies often have a lot of friends. Also, highbies think they are very important, and hate being ignored. Do not bite or say anything back if someone is trying to goad you into it, just ignore them. You can further agitate your "friends" by doing things like pet-and-run or slap-and-run. If I know A is one east of me, and A is trying to kill me, I can do something like e;pet A;slap A;w;w;n;w;n. Highbies really like this attention, it makes them want to kill you more. Be creative. Think up other ways to agitate them. While you may not be able to do much to them since you are a newbie, you can at least do things like direct newbies asking for help to them, or get people to tell them you think they are cute. The first time you are sent to HELL, your time is up. Record your time, that is your score. If you get a good score and want to brag, you can mail it to me and I will record it in this book. It is recommended you just ld or quit in Hell, and give things about an hour or so to cool down before asking for a ress. Otherwise, the people who are trying to kill you might simply keep doing so. Also, I know this game can be addictive, but try not to play this game more than once per day. *3* Don't cheat. The following behaviors are considered cheating. If you do these, it takes the fun out of the "sport"/game. 1) Sitting in the church, castle, or some other no-summon, possibly no-violence zone. Quitting and not re-entering for more than a minute. Going LD and not re-entering within a minute. Partying with others during the time is fine, but try not to party with your good friends. *4* Disqualified. If your "friends" get ambivelent and stop harassing you and just forget about you for 10 minutes or more, then your time ends at the last time they tried to kill you. But for a skilled player this should rarely happen, if you are good at agitating your "friends". Constant pet-and-running, and an occasional "thanks for the free summon" to someone you aren't ignoring yet but is working in concert with them should be enough to keep them harassing you. Most highbies will not "let up" until they kill you, if you got them mad enough (see *1*). This is just to make the scoring fair. This book was written by Ran.
