From Cities
Fire-aligned fizzy sweet-liking chap from Bristol.
- Haribo Sour Mix is the best :)
- Well, it's what I usually go for these days, but they really aren't fizzy or sour enough for my liking. I'm sure sweets were better when I was younger. However, the long, ribbon-like ones (sometimes sold as Astro Belts or similar) can still make me pucker up.
- Have now had the...experience of Shigekix, a Japanese, moderately hard jelly sweet, tiny things, but with an industrial-grade coating of your malic and citric (and possibly others, I don't read Japanese) acids. It's verging on unpleasant. --Hotchpotch 13:14, 18 July 2007 (BST)
I'm currently a Duke (so no promotion any time soon) and have completed the Creature Survey. I've also done my stint looking after a baby hippy, so can count Lord Harvey amongst my friends. I'm yet to take him up on his generous offer though. I've studied for 4 levels at the School of Hard Knocks, taking my MaxHP to 225.
To get to the school, I had to cross the desert. I already had a water skin, for being a dedicated doctor, but the more I knew about the Great Desert, the more I knew I needed to brave The Gauntlet. So I set off to Fire City to test myself. I was shaking like a leaf as I signed up, but you know what? It was a doddle. I used three of the 80-odd bandages I took with me, because of the first aid points along the route, and secondly because with my earth wand and a quiver full of arrows, I took everything out much quicker than anticipated. Didn't get much use out of my Merz bow though. It broke in the first volley.
I joined up with an Earth and a Water player to make sandwiches, and before long, I had risen to the lofty heights of Dukedom. I'm still searching for my duchy. Must be around here somewhere.
I had a snark in a sack, but being a Duke, with my decent damage multiplier, I let it go in exchange for the improved vision.
I'd like to think about a sailing career next. I have some martial arts skills, so I'm able to do toe-to-toe with tar monsters. I've collected quite a bit, and have plans for a boat. Since coughing up shedloads of gear in the Treasure Hunt (so what do they do with all that stuff, cheeky mo'fos?), I'm able to mine...I think I have a lot of mining in my future.
I have one alt, but it wasn't my fault. I set it up for a friend who measures games in frames-per-second, so I had to adopt it for him.
My current inventory.
Bested my personal, albeit unimpressive, pheonix level killed today. Dispatched a level 48 example as the last part of a long mission gathering Hard Knocks materials. --Hotchpotch 07:22, 4 October 2006 (BST)
Odd. There's a beach in the Frozen North. And it's hot. 63E 186N. --Hotchpotch 16:47, 27 October 2006 (BST)
I've just reset the fashion testing table. This is the regular expression I used in perl:

- You feel really good (+7 MaxAP)
- At this point, I've got 345 MaxAP, 815 MaxHP. I'm up, but only just. Dare I go on?

- Argh. This is the lowest MaxHP I've had during this Dragon Blood Blowout. 794...and falling? I hope not.
- You feel clumsy (Double argh. Now I've lost ToHit, and there's not many ways of getting that back. Accuracy potions I suppose.)
- You feel so very weak
- You feel stimulated
- You feel demotivated
- You feel clumsy (Hates it. It definitely looks like Cities does not reward the player who drinks lots of blood.
- You feel so very weak
- You feel clumsy (This is beyond amusing. What a waste doing the caverns was. I could have stayed at home instead.)
- You feel really demotivated (Damn right I do)
- You feel slow
- So, recap. I have the same MaxAP as at start, but my MaxHP has dropped by 20. And I've lost accuracy, which no amount of drinking dragon blood will cure. All I need now is for the +1 minute AP regen time)
