------------------------------------------------------- Ickabod with a lousy link. 11/30/98 Apparently over half the plrs lost link to MUME, and I just wanted to share this with the guys who lost out on my kill. Under the circumstances, it's just as likely that I would have been unflagged, and easy prey. But as it turned out, when I reconnected, they were nowhere to be seen, and I ported my way back to DT without an incident. ------------------------------------------------------- A Cave Entrance The corpse of Gumak the Uruk-hai is lying here.
