    I mean let's be real for a minute ..

    If, in fact, @merlin8666 were in transition, it would be tough to tell which way she was going. That's all I'm saying ..

    So I am not understanding how this could be construed as cheating. When you double click a firebomb you get a cursor. You just click that cursor and if you meet the throw requirements(los and max range) the item is thrown. Basic shit.

    I think you meant to say Meteor Swarm, not Earthquake. Earthquake is not nerfed at all, it works the same in or out of houses -- it just can't lower you below 0 hp if you're a player. You can certainly kill non-player mobiles with Earthquake, like in provo houses where noobs train, as SOF knows. Meteor Swarm has always done 1 hp damage since I've been here, but it use to be able to kill. You actually had to be healed at resist events or you would die.

    Some years ago I went on a meteor-swarming rampage against a guild similar to SOF while they idled in their keeps. Despite the fact they were more than "2 tiles away" from the exterior first floor walls, what they didn't realize is that there is line of sight to all sorts of targettable stuff, like grass on the first floor, or on the second floor of the keep, like the walls, the doors, ladders, etc. This stuff allows you to get a few tiles deeper into a keep (but not the "center" despite any claims otherwise). Additionally, you can create extra targets for line of sight by dropping field spells horizontal to the top of the outer wall, which will fill several tiles adjacent to the target. Field spells have a raised Z-axis compared to the tile they are on. This is also how I am able to access a lot of hard-to-reach places in Britannia with teleport.

    The guild figured out how I was doing it and went to my keep to retaliate. Instead, they found I don't sit in the corners of my keep or under the inner 2nd floor wall so I was not killable. What they did do is go kill a noob in the center of his 8x8 house by using another house with ladders. Since certain houses types were completely unsafe via this method, Telamon "temporarily" nerfed Meteor Swarm so that it could not kill. He was very clear though that he did not mean to render all house killings illegal and that this was a quick fix.

    As far as firebombs go, every SOF who has died to them by my hands would have also been killed by Meteor Swarm standing on those same tiles before the temp fix. And since Telamon considered those kills legal when I did them in the past, I did not see the big deal in using moltovs to accomplish them. I have found some pretty bad *actual* exploits in the past and have reported them to Telamon rather than use them on enemies because I am not trying to wreck havoc on the server.

    Also, I would appreciate it if Nose Goblin and wylwrk would stop bringing up other servers on forums and in IRC in reference to me. You think you are being clever but you are just disrespecting UOR by constantly invoking the names and launches of other servers in UOR's own channels. I have played multiple servers over the years but UOR has always been my #1 since I started here and I am not leaving anytime soon. The idea that I am out to sabotage UOR by... *checks notes* ... griefing the server's largest PK guild... is absurd.

    If any SOF wish to discuss how exactly line of sight was obtained on certain spots in their keep, I am more than happy to discuss in PMs in IRC. Otherwise, you guys are derailing OP's oscar-winning video to the trash talk forum.

    Exploiting thru a work around (as stated my Telamon) would be a different way of saying it

















    Or cheating

    That's probably the most perfect response I've ever read!
