when is using the blackjack considered DM'ing?

[Ghostly apparition]

I was playing thievery this morning, v12, mad gerbil a few others
ok, I was thief playing grange i come up the eerie starwell
to the west wing i believe it is. I enter the door caltrops all over the place. am paralyzed but manage to find a shdow area in the
hallway. 2 guards swords out looking for me but am still not able
to move much. Here comes gerbil and he puts his back to me.
Now at this point I KO him, figuring one less guard to deal with.
Then he comes back and says I'm dm'ing.
I was under the impression that the blackjack was put in the
game for a reason. Also anyone who's ever played with me knows
i rarely ever have more than 3 KO's in a game, and i didn't this
time.
Is it DM'ing to use the blackjack or is it DM'ing whenever you
happen to KO mad gerbil?
He feels free to firebolt the floor to set himself on fire then
wander around looking for thieves.
which happened earlier, i was in the shadows,He did not see
me but firespams then wanders into my area setting me aflame.
Is this fair? seems to me thats no better than the BJ whore thieves he complains about. I have no problems with guards
using firebolts if they see a thief. NOTE if they see him.

your thoughts?

Ghostly,

You are free to play the game anyway you wish. You are hardly what I'd call a BJ whore. You seem to use limited BJ's which is fine by me. (I think you have a nice balance between ghosting and KO's, imho)

However, it is my policy when I get BJ'd to switch from my default loadout (which has no firebolts) to an all firebolt loadout. It typically only takes one KO for me to make that switch.

For me, a DM'd game is one KO of da Mad_Gerbil. After that I'll rain down hellfire and brimstone on every freakin' shadow until all the shadow dwelling bastards are dead.

Whether or not I firespam is entirely up to the thieves.

DM (dee emm) v. DM-ed, DM-ing, DM-er, DMs
1. To win by elimination of the entire guard team instead of by objectives. The thieves won that round by DM 2. To get an excesive number of KOs and/or kills in a single round. Yenzaril is a DMer, he never goes for objectives 3. To KO or kill Mad_Gerbil. Mad_Gerbil was knocked out by Thief <Mad_Gerbil> DM THIEF!

(Note that this is an attempt at humor)

Fair enough I've been known to switch to all firebolts when
a thief gets to me.
I was just taking exception to your leaving saying you had
enough of the DM'ing. I rarely DM. In most cases am just
not as good as some other thieves with the BJ.
in other words when i try to DM it, I usually get the sharp
edge of a guards sword.

Actually i think that is the actual definition of DM thieveing
it should be put in the thievery dictionary.

I ended up leaving today NOT because of you and the games we had but because of [PL]Kris and [PL]Bandit who are about two of the biggest unrepentent BJ whores in the game. After I saw what they were doing after they joined I decided to leave. Although you were the last to BJ me when I left it wasn't you at all, we had serveral good games before the real life whores showed up.

Nothing to do with you, mate.

We had some good games today and I like to see you in there. I hope to have more games with you in the future when [PL] sludge isn't around.

[LaughingRat]

In short, if Gerbil gets KO'd even once, it's DM'ing, and he gets pissed about it. Thieves shouldn't be allowed to take out a guard at all in Gerb's book, particularly if it's him.

LaughingRat got it right.

I always assumed that was the rule somehow.

Fair enough, i'm glad it wasn't me you were pissed at
as i always have fun games with you. unless like you said
the bj whores show up. as a thief i always want to win by obj
not by killing or Ko'ing all the guards. It cheapens the win in my
book.

when is using the blackjack considered DM'ing?

When you press the number 2... :roll:

It's less a matter of always being right than of not saying anything when you're wrong.

[Ghostly apparition]

wrong or right, in this instance it was a bit of miscommunication
between gerbil and I. What I percieved was his reason
and what was truly the reason he left

it can happen when the only communication you have ingame
is a small chatbox.

by the way LR , do you do any work while you're at work
seems you do a whole lotta posting on the forums during work
hours. Maybe like me you're self employed.
Also know its none of my business.

Misunderstanding is the bugaboo of online communication.

No, I'm not skilled enough at anything to be self-employed. Instead, I work for the government.

Hence where all the free time comes from....


Funny, how that works the same in Canada, as the US..
