Problem with High scores

We both have no way of altering the stats in Laanx.
We both fought hard for gaining our Duelpoints.

There is no cheating involved in this, if someone thinks it.

I am also busy with gaining AP\'s so in future i will appear in laanx-stats with my AP\'s too.

And I thought you were different...

[fireofsoul]

dont gain Ap\'s to get into the highscore, do it to help people. Its ridicule to just do that because your answers would probably be... yeah.

This is why advisor points will probably be removed in the near future completely - it\'s just another number to raise for some people, and they give absolutely crap answers to people genuinely asking for help, just to get another point. You\'ve no idea how many times I\'ve wanted to pick up an advisor, turn him or her upside down, and shake them until all the stupid falls out.

If you\'re advising because you want to be on some chart, please, disable your advisormode permanently.

AP\'s is one thing I noticed, too. I actually saw someone reply, \"Can you repeat the question for me, please?\" (you don\'t want to know how badly they spelled it)

and the person repeated it, and they didn\'t even answer back. They were just in it to get a point.

yep, a bunch of morons \"P0W3R13V311NG F0R T33H G4IN\" its stupid, takes the  chance away from proper advisers and also the newbie is left stranded.

And I actually thought hance was a great guy. <_<

Well anyways I dont give an applebread for the highscores, or the \"hall of shame\" how I like to call it. I am not against competition, however it should be kept ingame. If you can best someone, or outwit him, you are better, no matter who has the most DPs.

Well, in my opinion both DPs and APs are kinda, counter-productive, people tend to forget about the world and just freak out on getting a higher number in these two fields...

[Ahriman]

I know Nathaluth and Tarel, and yes, they don\'t cheat. Trust me, I am also in the Dragon Council.

[Nathaluth Sumaza]

We were just having some fun getting in that list, with no cheating I may add (at least I don\'t think it was cheating, if it was I would have  never have done it in the first place); asides from that all those lists mean absolutly nothing to me and I wouldn\'t mind one bit should they get removed, nor would I mind them staying.
As a matter of fact, I don\'t even like real duals or fighting in general for that matter and under normal conditions would never take part in a dual (with exeption of mug-duals in which no one gets hurt).
I just wanted to get on top of one of those lists, just once for, well, fun. And dual points were the easiest to get not to mention easiest to loose. The first chance I get I\'ll get rid of those Dual Points the same way I got them. So you don\'t have to worry about me taking your spot in that list, I\'ll more than gladly give it back to you.

I do hope you dueled in-character, and explained it in-game in better terms ;)

I disagree on you, Karyuu.

I don\'t collect the AP\'s to get only in the highscore.
You look at it from the wrong side.

I am here for helping people.
You can ask every GM around if i ever gave a false answer.
I never gave a false answer.

I am more likely to help people to well.
From the time i begann i was accused several times of helping players to well.
As players ask a question i answer it fully and not even half.
I got many angry messages from some players, that i should stop with advising. I was telling to much

I am not like some other advisors who gives the answer:
\"You have to search on you\'re own for you\'re answer. I would not like to spoil the game for you.\"

The advisors who did it, know who i am talking about.
I am not going to mention names.
They are known around, because i filed many complaints about them.

So Zanzibar i am different then the rest.
All the questions and my asnwers are logged in my PC.

And even if you delete my AP\'s or take them out of PS,
it would not make a difference to me.
But if they stay ingame i deserve to be in the list, like all the others.
And i willl still help everyone without asking anything in return and without hiding information towards them.
I know i make some people pissed with this action,
but i fully don\'t care about them.
An Advisor must do his job well, or should not do it at all.

[Karyuu]

I never accused you of giving false answers, nor did I ever speak of you in particular.

That is precisely the answer you are meant to give sometimes - advisors are not supposed to give solutions to quests, concrete directions out of the Death Realm, etc. It\'s great that you\'re being helpful, but be helpful without spoiling anything, as you so quoted.

Beyond that, good to hear that you\'re dedicated to helping ;)

[Tarel]

Sorry Karyuu,
i was responding to a message you posted.

i am not attacking you\'re answer, but am telling i
am not that kind of advisor you are referring to.

/me uses his \'wtf?\' face  O.o

[r.guppy]

Yay for list.
 Why not what harm are thy doing, if you don\'t like don\'t look, ignore them.
 Are they ingame for all to see NO.
 Are thy here for you to see NO.
 So big deal someone is better than you, try harder don\'t whine. (learnt that the hard way)

 Adviser Points. If i don\'t know its nice to know who to ask, as i monitor all the time i am ingame, so i know who is good at advice. Yes there is BAD advice given, BUT there is also a lot of GOOD given too. GMs monitor and do inform you if you are giving wrong or bad advise, so there is some sort of control.

 ( I still strongly disagree with claiming a session, and don\'t do it, but hay don\'t care take a look i am back smiles)

Ehm, somewhat embarrising to admit, but no... You see that little point increasement was completely out of character. Normally I hardly ever fight duals (never say never ). There\'s not much point for a scientist to be dualling, now is there? ^^
Actually I thought no one would notice if I just went on top of that list for just a little while and then dissapeared again, ehm, you see, the ehh, disappearing part, I haven\'t quite gotten round to that yet, but don\'t worry I will soon. And I assure you I will not do such a thing again, didn\'t know it would cause any trouble, if so, I wouldn\'t have done it in the first place.

Post Scriptum. @Karyuu. Alright I know the following doesn\'t really belong in this place of the Forums, hence it\'s in the \"Post Scriptum\"-part of this message. I\'m putting it as add to this message because alone it would be spam-ish, seeing it would be short, rather pointless seeing you probably already know this (hardly ever(/never) use certain either, only certainty is a high probability ), don\'t think it would be annoying though seeing I wouldn\'t consider the finding positive of something and then telling it annoying, it would most defininate be a message though. So part spam, part not spam, spam-ish.
Anyway to the point (I get carried away like this quite allot...):
Your website is absolutly fantastic, splendid art and writing as well as most amusing art and writing; (this includes the description you gave to your art works and the \"essence of me\"-part, just great. From what I\'ve seen you\'ve got a gift for that sort a thing ut humiliter opinor, and I haven\'t even seen much , hope you don\'t mind me saying so. ^^).

Post Post Scriptum. I hope the first non-post scriptum part which does belong here balances the not belonging post sciptum part.
