Do necros get some sort of AA for "Raise My Corpse To Harass My Group For Letting Me Die"?

Thanks Psychoman for the screenshot. [I'm not sure if that's the part of the screenshot that I was supposed to post, but its the part that struck me as the most odd :)]

Appeal for 'dwarf-tossing' thrown out
A UN committee upheld a ban imposed by France

By Emma Jane Kirby
BBC correspondent in Geneva

A tiny stuntman who protested against a French ban on the little-known sport of "dwarf-tossing" has lost his case before a United Nations human rights committee.

Manuel Wackenheim used to earn his living being thrown around bars and discothèques by customers.

He became unemployed in the mid-1990s, after France's highest administrative court ruled that his job was contrary to human dignity.

Mr Wackenheim appealed against the French ban, but when this failed, he took his complaint before the UN's Human Rights and Anti-Discriminational Committee, claiming that his rights had been violated.

But the UN committee said it was satisfied that the ban on dwarf-tossing should be upheld "in order to protect public order and considerations of human dignity".

Imported pastime

Mr Wackenheim earned his living through the bizarre sport of "dwarf-throwing" - a pastime imported from the United States and Australia in the 1980s.

The sport consists of big men in clubs and discos competing to see who can throw a small man the furthest.

The stuntman wears a crash helmet and padded clothing which has handles on the back.

The Frenchman himself is 1.14 metres (three feet seven inches) tall.

First some obligatory junk: we raided, we killed stuff. On to the entertainment.

Hello, and thank you for calling Rogue Support. How may I help you today?

Do you need lockpicks? well lets see. This might be one of those rare "genuine newbies" that I want to help out.

Ah, a Halfling... how quaint. You'd think they'd know not to call by now...
Mkay, I know this may be a bit of an over-generalization, or a bit harsh, but... by level 47, you deserve to get a little abuse before the right answer on this sort of question! Besides, its not a fun day unless I've abused a halfling.

hello? hello? aww, he seems to have hung up. I didn't even get a chance to link him a Splintered Wooden Key or tell him about the secret quest for sneaking down to Jugg's and retrieving the Master Key from the pot in the area before Trakanon.

I'm sorry, that got a bit garbled. It sounded like you asked "Can you pickpocket items?"
Normally I would abuse this person for asking about pickpocket, but I decide to give him a shot.

Besides, he's a geniune lowbie wood elf, and I'm nothing if not an EQ-racist, which works both ways. Elf power!. Excuse me, its gnome-punting break time.

Ok, we're back.

Well, it sounds like this is yet another person who just had his bubble burst. Probably had a level 20 cleric and thought the rogues were striking it rich and not paying him for the Cats Eye Agate's he used on symbols, so created a rogue to get even.
Or he might have just been a slightly disillusioned young rogue. No harm, no foul.

See? We at the Rogue Support Line don't always abuse our callers.

-Have a nice day-

Or, Why Iken is now purple...

We knew it all along. We did. And now, finally, with some encouragement by the non-judgemental
folks in Shadow Council, it can finally be revealed! Yes, Pikollo is, in fact, out of the closet!

Hey, don't take my word for it either! Let the pictures do the talking...



Congratulations to you, Pik, for finally displaying your "true colors!"

Go Go Gadget, Wizards!

So... yeah, as noted in the secondary patch message, our bane weapons suddenly became "crappy stat weapon that we camped forever for, and don't know why"...

Oh well. At least the ol' trusty Dirk of the Dain got to come out of its bag for one fight! And there was enough other melee swinging away for no reason that I have to assume that everyone had some semi decent DD weapons :)

Caster killshot. Everyone who is surprised, raise your hand. Yeah raise 'em up. Hello? Is this mic on? Can you hear me in the back there?

-Senn out.

What Senn failed to mention was all the enjoyable backflagging we've been up too. Targets include AD,
Grummus, Behemoth, Terris Thule, HoH Trials, and whatever I'm forgetting. So, now how about some enjoyable
pictures of rogues doing what they do best! Stealing all the loots complements of a VP run.

Not only do rogues get all the uber loot but our twinks also have the best of rolls.

Now onto the real fun that many people miss because it's either in tell or channels let the fun begin =)
