The "über throw"
Faison and I hit Eisregen simultaneously with a throw and this was all that was left.

lol, somehow eis sprouted 2 left arms on death. Wink (i know i know, maybe the coding calls for two leftarm1's on gibbing, hmm lemme see..)
looks like mano and fais temporarily bent the laws of physics and biology, well done.

those are pretty good sock, fairly uncommon.

I recall the time I killed three guys with one throw, that was also pretty über.

I was in the fist fight arena fighting someone and they just got stuck and couldn't move... so I burnt them to death with a torch... maybe it was beach or someone... glitches are funny

Hmmm... are all these glitches normal, or is something up with the server? Eek

Today I was killed (normally), and it showed me as having two bodies where I fell. Server crashed right then, I don't know if that caused it, or if the crashing caused two dead bodies to appear. Hmm.

that's a known occurrence to people who have slow connections; occasionally i die, but to me and no-one else, there's a 'statue' of me still.
it might be remotely a prodrome of impending trouble, however.

i think you were having ping problems a bit at that time, right?
in any case, it seems confined to the client side.

also you mentioned this in-game and i believe, from reading runegame forum threads, and observing performance on low cal servers, it's a myth that "high-pingers" lag everyone else.

Hmm, you could be right about that; but why did the server crash right at that moment? Pure coincidence? Puppy

I didn't clarify myself very well then, sorry Dante.

There's been times when I've seen someone lagging so badly that they appear to "warp" around the arenas, there one minute, gone the next. This creates problems for those fighting that person as well as the high-pinger himself; it's hard to pin down and kill someone who's disappearing and reappearing like a participant in a wizard's duel.

What I was asking you was if I was causing such problems to you; not if I was causing you actual lag. But I didn't explain very well.

i see, there was no such problem, hehe, and it was probably coincidence: the crashlog, i was told, showed up something else.
[rant] i presumed the above comments because i've been told on a few occasions in other servers, to take my laggy-ass presence elsewhere (in less polite and more condescending terms). their prerogative of course, since it's their own non-dedicated server; but still grates nevertheless that this coincided once or twice with me being on a decent spree and the odd disconnection without due process or warning. [/rant]

no, genuine skippies and warpers are pretty rare these days.
i remember jaguar-blade was one of the most vocal and active people about this.

lol ya it is.
The just stop and are thinking "where the hell did he go?" when BAM! with the bone in the back of their head. Cool
I tell you it is my secret weapon, without it I wouldn't frag much

SHADY is a damn good fighter. And he is honorable, in his way. "Treat others as i want to be treated," so i did. I spoil killed his ass too. And he always abides by 2 out of 3. So heres to SHADY a damn good duelist.
