Message me ingame to receive your prizes. If I see any of you online, I'll follow you around and bug you 'till you take your winnings.

400k in total will be shared between the winners. 8 Winners means 12 lots of 50000 gold that did not get won- this goes to the Phunky Phund. An extra 600k is now yours, our good friend.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i needed that money

gratz guys

bweh

So did moogie win, becuase I placed my bet on moog aswell.

check the video and see :]

Nice duel would have been nice if you guys didnt use pots and pills Its nice to watch a duel were you dont use pots/pills(just like what my guildmate says "What's the use of using pots/pills in a duel"), you really see who can use the characters potential...just my thoughts. Again, nice video

the duel is about 43 seconds long, thats with pots and pills

without, the first person to get the second hit would win, wheres the fun in that?

Im only saying you duel to see who can best the other right? How will you know if you can really best him/her if you use pots? Im not against people using pots in duel, but it's much better to see people duel without pots, gives it a more respectful approach, thats all Im sayin. Im not against your duel btw, just expressing my thoughts. Sorry if I have offended anyone

duelling without pots is actualyl pretyy stupid, for example, Moogie is an ice user, almost guaranteed to frosbite me, 2 hits I'm dead.

wow that was fun

even if i get the first hit, hers slows me down so she can hit me enough timesd and defeat me before i've even swung my weapon a second time.

maybe if your a pure str and dont use magic, then yes it oculd be interesting, bashing the hell out ofeach other, but it just won't work with us.

I understand your point, kurohagane. However, for me and Dem to duel eachother without pots would result in a highly unfair outcome, due to our high damage + low HP values. Whoever hit the other first would have won, regardless of skill. Potting allows for an extra dimension of uncertainty on the outcome and lengthens the duel to a more worthwhile duration.

Absolutely nothing wrong with voicing your opinion here, friend. Never be scared to point out things from a different perspective, especially to nice people like us.

HUGS

Ouch, I need to re-count the winners here, seems I made a couple of mistakes... I have no idea how. O.o

RaVen voted Moogie, as did PB_And_J. So they're not winners.

Winners: Ricco, Monition, MadMountie, Im_On_56k, JaR, Penquinz, FuglyMonkey.

Monition and Im_On_56k have received their prizemoney- the rest are pending an ingame response.

Sorry for the mixup, folks... I guess I got a bit confused. To be honest, all the votes were worded differently... anything from "Moogie beats Dem" to "I think you might win but I'll vote Dem". So in trying to read them all quickly and tally up the scores, I misinterpreted some of them. But that's just an excuse. I really don't know why I counted them wrong, but at least it's correct now (hopefully ).

So this means 650000 gold to phunky. Lucky guy.

thx bout that, sry I might seem greedy right now, however I just bought a full suit of armor for no reason, losing all my money.

:/ The video was there for you to see who won, didn't you think maybe something was up...?

Well, it matters not. Contact me ingame and I'll give you a hand with your dilemma.

wooh did you say me???? lol well i havnt been online when you have for a few days, but when i get on, i'll be sure to say hi

SHIT~!

on the subject of potting/pilling during duels:

somepeople don't realize how much strategy goes into being an effective SRO player. this can include anything from how you grind to the specific order or sequence in which you activate your skills in battle to how long you wait before using a pill or a potion after your HP or MP has gone down. adding pills/pots in a battle can make all the difference in the workd, especially between people who are not on the same lvl. if pills/pots wewn't used in battle, then Professinoal would never have been able to beat vwbuss from Banditos several times in our last war, as vwbuss is, from what i gather, a few lvls above him.

by the same token, i had an EPIC battle w/ a trader while i was thieving the other day; he was an ice blader (excellent combo), and i'm, as you know, fire/light spear. even though i think i was a few lvls higher than him, his ability to freeze me - and subsequently get in more hits, albeit at lower dmg - kept this battle going for longer than 5 minutes straight. in the end, i conceded due to a lack of pills.

did i get the prize?

aw... woulda loved to see that.

interesting postscript to this story: he ended up being so pissed that i jacked him that his clan warred mine, and we beat them there too ;)

Thanks for the comp Moogie

Now we know why Dem is your Protector!!

Having seen the video - I would be interested to see the the resaults for a best out of seven. I would be guessing 5:2 or maybe 4:3 in Dem's favour.

Not that I want the two of you killing each other that much!

Oh Yeah - about my winnings

Just add it to the phunky fund for me please (assuming that's ok with you - but if you really want to chase me around, my new character is - Pig_Stiker)

I shall honour your request.

Paid so far:
Monition
Im_On_56k
Ricco
Mountie

This is probably off topic and since im know n for that Ill rattle on anyway.

However the outcome of the epic battle im sure everyone will be entertained.

As for a personal observation, it seems that all the happening people are in Xian...how is it like fr a nob in Xian. Im thinking of starting a char there.

Anyways, hope to meet u all in silkroad.

Robin

thanx Moogie

and you may wish to add me to the paid list


retro70 (Robin) Xian is definately a good server to choose - for the reason that there are plenty of friendly and helpful people (such as most of the members of this forum) that are generally willing to help out new players.

There are downsides too - every server has its share of "Sphincter Muscles", but on Xian quite a few of them are Bloody high level, and they often take pleasure in using loopholes in the game to target/victimise new players (especially 1 star trades - refer Moogie's guide in the guide section)

If you choose Xian feel free to ask me for help/advice at any time

i say moogie,

someoen film the duel? please

lol dem was potting even when moogie was stunned and hadnt hit him since the last 2 pots
