"Out of curiosity, Master Finnegan, if everyone treats you as badly as it would appear, why do you even bother staying here?"

Unfortnately, "No lunch during mafia" doesn't apply to RotMG. I do.

"Pleased to meet you, Master Finnegan."

"Thank you, Lord Boomingham."Noticing that the other heroes seem to be consuming copious amounts of alcohol and discussing their various relationships with women, I retreat to a corner of the Hall to eat my meal.

QM Note:Okay, no problem; thanks for letting me know. WBD, you can take control of Dharkan's men, or you can split control between yourself an John Paul. Either way works for me.

The new Main Index is up! We've got a new graphic, a new, Death Star-themed name, pictorial links to all our pages on other sites, (flickr, blog, YouTube etc.) and a list of Star Wars tags, among other things.

I enter the Hall once more, having completed another quest. I order a cup of tea to sip on as I seek out Lawrence, Jess, Haldor, and Nur. "Miss Islanti, Master Skovgaard, Lord Boomingham, Master Nur." I nod to my fellow heroes. "It appears that Master Szalinski entrusted me with the entire reward of 1250 Gold, and I have to give you each your shares of it." I hand 250 Gold each to Lawrence, Jess, Haldor, and Nur, keeping the final 250 Gold for myself.

Oops, I forgot about the skeleton. Thanks; it's fixed now.

I don't remember encountering Beggar 3. Would I have completed the side quest successfully if I'd given Gold to Beggar 5? Or would I have had to give Gold to the other two, too, instead of buying them stuff? This was my response to Beggar 5, by the way:

Definitely. I'm probably going to farm with an unmaxed Necro while I pot up another 7/8 in my second char slot, and work from there. If I use up the pots on my reserve mules, I think I can get to 5/8 instantly, but I don't know if I want to do that. The expensive part is going to be the equips. I'm probably going to have to spend around 25 Life to get back the equips I had. I might just start with Old Tops and farm with the maxed to get to WC Tops faster, like I did to get the ones I lost.Really, I'm not that upset about remaxing. It's the rolling that I hate.

I'm fine with the posting of side quests as well.

Wow. Combined with the death of my second 4/8 Priest last week, this is the first time in over two months that I don't have a maxed char. Now I have to see if I still know how to hunt gods with a 0/8. On the bright side, I had poured every bit of wealth I had at the time into creating this 7/8, so the three 4/8s that came after him, the roughly 80 Def in pots, and most of the equips I now have were all gained with that Necro, meaning he easily paid for himself. He also finished at ~2300 Fame, my first five-star char, and he was the first char I used to kill an event and get O1 to say my name. (one Sphinx, multiple Cubes and Skulls, plus the countless Pents and LotLLs that don't qualify for name announcing) I'm actually not raging as much as the two times I broke Ammies.

The hi-res picture is still in our flickr set (link in first post), and as far as I know, TLG hasn't asked us to take it down.

Thanks for the pic, Bricksan, and thanks for the link, just2good. The 2013 rumors topic is now up; further discussion of the Rancor Pit belongs there. I'll move these posts over there in a moment... ...and done.

Looks like the image of the Rancor Pit was leaked a little early. Thanks to Rich on Brick Fanatics for finding the image. Remember that this topic is for discussion of sets rumored or confirmed to be released in 2013. Wishlists and speculation of sets you think or you want to be released in 2013, no matter how likely (Clones sets, for example) still belong in the Future Star Wars Sets thread.

Like I kept saying in the quest, we wouldn't have had to. Our objective was to obtain statements, not to find out who sabotaged the project.

Thanks for hosting, WBD! I really liked how you worked in the unrelated events of civilian life in Eubric into the quest. I also think the quest had a good amount of freedom while keeping the objective clear and simple, something I can appreciate because I think I failed to do that in Quest 4. The enemies seemed well-balanced, though I'm sure Jeb threw that off with all his Shields. Finally, I have to respect the amount of auto-Rounds you were willing to run to keep things moving. Self-criticism: I think that I was a little inactive at times, notably at the end, when I wasn't active and it fell to Zeph to explain things to Szalinski. I also kind of felt that I was overall slow to respond or make a decision as the Party Leader.

All right. League of Purists (Scum) of the simulation known as Excalibur 1.0: Samantha 'Inconspicuous' York - Godfather Zachary 'Flipz' Jones - Killer Brian 'Dannylonglegs' Pewter - Protector Thomas 'VolcanicPanik' Hornby - Watcher Michael 'Brickdoctor' McAndrews - Blocker Yes, there were only five of us, among twenty-three total participants, and we had no conversion ability, so we did suspect that there was a second Scum team. (or a significant number of Neutrals)

So, I take it the plan is to go after Pewter now? Vote: Brian Pewter (Palathadric) Admiral, do you have any objections to my revealing the Scum roles from the simulation?

I'll merge this with the 2012 Rumors topic, since that's where discussion is for now.

And also not all quests because some players will start forming teams of veterans that steamroll your average enemies.

If it's okay with the staff of this forum, sure, I'd be happy to.
