This site is looking pretty dead, so here's a new place to comment about whatever. And no, I won't tell you how I did it.
Army of Darkness?
Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! Love that one.
Not that I care about all this bs, but do Belshazzar or Tevildo have contracts?
Well Belshazzar, saying why we have a personal dislike for Tevildo typically ends up in us getting in trouble.

'You ready to die Blade?'
'I was born ready, mother fucker.'
You missed the best line right after that!
'Mother fucker... I like that'
They're bitter B-SHAZZ. Or just silly willies. And Sam-J is a beast in Pulp Fiction as well.
Tevildo is a good guy and I don't understand the animosity some of you have for him or why you think I'm pandering to him by taking credit for my discoveries.
That and Snakes on a Plane:
Samuel L. Jackson: Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!
Uhm, and Die Hard 1:
'Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.'
'You motherfucker, I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna fuckin' cook you, and I'm gonna fucking eat you!'
'You ready to die Blade?'
'I was born ready, mother fucker.'
Did you ever watch blade 3? That is the only time mother fucker (or ing) ever sounded so good.
The thing is, I am a motherfucking genius Pounder.
Another dick rider for Tevildo is what you are Bel. I just call it as I see it, if you want to make yourself look worse start claiming you guys are genius and we can group you along with fyng. And actually, daze is only useful in a few applications but it actually has very limited uses (and I have the spell in my book lol). It problably shouldn't take as much EP anymore but back in the day you could cast daze 10 times, and then idle kill npcs literally (like go idle during combat). I killed morimacil once casting it a few times and then I went off and got a soda from the machine and came back and atriu was dead. :)
I'm backing Tevildo up, he solo killed Shelob in an ingenious way. I know this because I discovered the method and shared it with him. I discovered the method several months ago through gameplay without any use of testmud, ainur privileges, or cheating in any way. Unfortunately now the method will be nerfed, but even so I won't be sharing it with anyone I haven't already, in case it becomes applicable to some other interesting problem in the future. C'est la vie.
Ask Xaron :)
If its not the one Rhakyrh and myself were planning on doing, than I dont know, either way, its just shelob, a spider that scare most of you and have no clue about the lair anyhow. Back in old mordor how many people actually went in there, and how many (people/ers go in there to quest black flask/spellblinder/crimmy/etc..)that comment still do?
The lair was only for daze, and how many wizards even have that useless spell?
Anything about the MUD that isn't boring to you after 1y ontime has got to be pretty impressive ;)
Sorry i meant to me.
92 comments say different Pounder :P
First of all, don't make fun of red sword. That weapon kicks ass for midlevels and newbies! :)
Second off, it makes sense, reading what Tevildo said Osse 'said' it goes back to about 5 years ago when kharash, mornaner and I had I believe 3 different things changed/removed fixed in the game due to balance issues. One of us could have pretty easily soloed shelob at that time but doing it solo seemed boring. Soon after this (as Alkath can attest to), it became obvious that she could not be solo'ed but somewhat easily 2manned without involving obvious balance fixes (or anything that was changed due to the killing of her).
And, this topic is somewhat boring these days. It was a very hot one back about 4 years ago (maybe more like 5-6 now).
red sword of course
Yeah! What the hell guys?
And what is this super weapon everyone keeps talking about.
Hey, so Jakar gets to know and we're left in the dark? It's because I'm an ER, isn't it?
What the fuck was the technique you assholes?!
Liar you told me you did it 2-3 times. Enjoy your shift, bastard!
Bug abuse, as I suspected. Case closed.
Off to work now, Tata!
From what I've found out, the technique Tevildo used was completely different and quite ingenius. Hell, I had no idea it was possible using what he did. I had thought of using a similar strategy that he had employed...even tested it once or twice but it had little to no effect so I stopped trying that way.
Uhhh, I only did it once, and it wasn't a legitimate way anyways.
Why does every forget that Jakar soloed her like 2-3 times in a row :P
Tevildo told me that she falls under the spell of the smoke if you smoke a pipe while fighting her...then he said he was kidding :((((((((((
I think that's about the 5th time it's been mentioned.
there was one way, one weapon which could kill shelob with one hit, it has been available for years and no one ever (ab)used it, but some months ago ainu took notice of it and fixed :(
Yeah Tev you pretty much have to tell now. Or we could try and beat it out of Osse.
No, you're telling us, or Imma come to your guildhall and beat the snot out of you! :p
Now that it's no longer effective, you can! You threw lots of torches and stuff, didn't you?
I don't think I'm actually supposed to say :P
Yeah, now you have to spill the beans.
Now you can tell us how you did it since it won't be available to anyone else to use at the later date, or you can just post the entire log!
^ (OOC) Osse: just a little 'for the record' moment here
^ (OOC) Osse: Tevildo did in fact solo-kill Shelob on
Wednesday, June 11 at 6:21 PM mudtime.
^ (OOC) Osse: The first time such has ever been
accomplished as a trule solo act, to my knowledge.
^ (OOC) Osse: er, trule -> true
^ (OOC) Osse: Sadly, the method utilized by Tevildo,
while valid, will no longer be effective.
^ (OOC) Osse: this ends our 'For the record' moment.
So that's that, I guess :P
it is because when you say it u r kewl
It's nothing at all like scrub.
it's like 'scrub'
What's with this really annoying expression, 'I call bullshit'? Sounds like some fucking elementary school saying. Why does everyone have to butcher the English language with such ambivalence :(
Meh, I know quite a few innovative thinkers that have come up with ways to kill Shelob by themselves or in a duo. I am not a fan of anyone gaining in-game advantages through exploitation of their time on TestMUD, but at the same time, based on a few strategies I have personally devised and tested on the real MUD, I totally believe Tevildo soloed her. This log is just a tease, why all the anger. He's not going to tell you how he did it, figure it out yourselves or shut up :P On another note, Hirgail's log that was posted after this one was hilarious.
You only left the lair 3 times? You abused something of some sort, ive ran lair plenty of times in my day, and she makes me leave in 4 rounds or less sometimes....your telling me you soloed her legit only leaving lair 3 times. Calling Bullshit. btw Nagash said it pretty good if youd all like to scroll down.
I can solo shelob..
1) I wouldnt want to abuse 1 of the bugs I know
2) It'll still take a while if i wanted to use that bug
The bug I think of is similar to the multi-MULTI backstab, no busy round, just a 50 or however many attacks I can let off holding enter against her 8 hit attack.
Oh well, i allways hoped to be the first person doing something like this solo. Then again, i see no proof here... I need proof you long-eared ol' elf smithy you. :) Anyone care to vouch for this or something?
are you really making all that drama because of a log? dude, don't let this become another 'jerk drop' incident.
You either: 1. used a party, or 2. abused a bug.
If you indeed managed to solo her in a legitimate way, please put up -- or SHUT THE FUCK UP.
No log, no believing, m'kay?
I quit reading at P's last comment. Cause i totally remember when you pimps worked her. Took you so friggen long to setup though cause all 3 of you guys are lazy bastards! :) <3
As far as this log's authenticity is concerned, who gives a flying bird? If it is *unlikely* yay for you, noone cares. If its not, your still an idiot, and still nobody cares.
Nuff said.
hmm, maybe with 3 ulmos, 87 VoVs and 32 concentration potions, i could sandstorm her ass solo... i gotta try it someday...
If you're thinking about what Rusak did, yes, I was involved in planning, but no, that was a different method.
Tevildo, are you telling me you didn't test this on testmud before trying on real mud? Because that's even harder to believe than the idea of the log itself.
And I will accuse anyone of anything I want. What are you going to do about it? Hmm?
Perry, if I knew I was going to log something to show to somebody else, I'd emote too. Probably a flex though.
I'm calling bullshit.
Yes. If Austria beats Germany.
Don't wory Polk Croatia will play with reserves against you so you might have a chance to go to quarterfinals....:-)
Fuck you Ansaril, the penalty was a total bullshit :P

You strut.
Why would you strut if you were alone and there was no one there to see it????
The deathblow message was changed recently?
My point exactly, I can count any of the numbers of rounds on any of the logs used on her hairy arse!
Well you did save more than the deathblow in the log right? You could count it yeah?
Didn't bother to count. Keeping track of the exact number of rounds isn't exactly part of my normal combat routine. I can tell you that I was forced to flee the lair three times before she finally bit the dust, though.
How many rounds? Respond or be silent.
Hey, Mordhred... tell me if you find Hirgail's keys while you're up there, mmkay?
But seriously, don't accuse people of abusing exploits or cheating via testmud if you have absolutely nothing to back it up with. That sort of behavior is on the same level as the law report abuse you people are constantly whining about (even though you're the ones doing it to each other).
Actually, it makes questing things in the lair easier.
Using testmud to your own benefit in real mud is a warnable offense, to say the least. If that's really the case (which probably is, judging by Tevildo's reputation), such a bad example this log is.
On another point of view, soloing Shelob is nothing but exploiting the system. And I say that because you're not supposed to solo Shelob. If you do so, it's through an exploit, be it a bug or not. Using exploits to do something useless is usually unharmful, but brings nothing but annoyance to the community as a whole (like killing shelob - you won't sell her eyes for decent gold, you won't use her fangs, walking around the lair is easy even with Shelob there etc). And these exploits are (most times) totally useless in any other situations.
In summary, you can't really impress people while being useless by doing totally useless things. You raise your ego. Well, congratulations. I think that's what you wanted to hear - so there it is.
armchair vigilante ftw
haha, i quoted myself trying to edit shit :P this is what i meant to post :P
who cares. let him have his log or whatever. the more time he spends doing things outside of the mud, like defending himself here, the less time he's trying to show off his epeen by boring us all on the comm. i swear i have to comm off any time he, toby, or grimscar get on the comm because they talk incessantly about stupid shit. fucking armchair politicians and scientists.
I think your log of soloing Shelob is even less legit, Sunflash :P
If its the one I'm thinking of atleast
You know, to be fair, I'd say Tevildo probably did do it. It would go against his Ubergeek ethos to fake it.
How he did it? No clue.
How did he figure out how to do it? TestMUD.
haha, at least they have a brain to be washed, hurb :P
Well, here's the interesting thing also, when Me, Kharash and Rohkilin took her down with 3, several people could verify this (and some knew to varying degrees somewhat of what we did), noone has come forward stating Tevildo is telling the truth in this case. This is the difference, thats why people don't believe him Ansaril.
Tell you what Tevildo, tell me how many rounds you killed her in. More specificially, how many times did shelob volley attacks at you. We all know she attacks between one and 5 times per round. How many rounds of combat did she have against you before she died? Don't tell us any other information, just that.
Calm down guys. It went 1-1 in Austria-Poland tonight. And the referee showed some HUGE balls in taking that penalty. Football matters. :)
I dont think Tevildo will show how he did anything, and neither will a very huge part of the mud believe he ever did it. If he did, he knows it pretty well himself so I guess he is satisfied, sad for those who does not believe though. They might live in a lie. Or Tevildo does. Nobody will ever know. (most possibly)
if they are in that stupid guild they would be brain washed anyways!
They'd probably have said something. Why does it even matter?
It doesn't prove that you solo'd Shelob even if I can run around her lair freely. How do I know you didn't bring more people and you were there to get the deathblow?
Esteban, when was the last time you checked, me it was prehaps a year and something ago when I was testing everything playing around with poison, hitting her with arrows and sitting at entrance already conjuring sandstorm. She never came back full/prefect but at the rate I was dropping her, gave up (spent about 3k in healers/food)
Bug abuse, nuclear launch detected!
She heals back to perf shape after she runs to her home Nildnab, its not wise to start her at the entrance...
Easy way to solo shelob without the skill or balls to really meet her, stand right at entrance and just beat her till she runs.. this method takes no skill just time and gold, little knowledge of how to get/find shelob afterwards also.
Then again with Dighi questinfo sites and Durm wiki-questinfo sites I suppose who cares about Log'O'Mania? :p
Without using very cheesy tricks I don't think Shelob can be done solo. Two people is decently easy; if you have the time, will and skill to prepare the kill.
Ansaril brings up a valid point however, Log'O'Mania kind of ruined a lot of the exploring/figuring out for people with all the logs of how to do stuff.
He probably forged some uber ring that won't let him get hit or keeps increasing his HP.
This log is like those assholes who do this to you.
'Hey, come over here I have a secret.'
'Ok what is it?'
'Oh wait, I probably shouldn't tell you.'
'WTF, you said you had a secret so why don't you tell me! You made me walk over here!'
'No really I can't, sorry.'
Now I'm determined to get it out of you, I cannot be stopped!
Ooh, can I post a log of me soloing it too?
What more is there to prove? What is there to fake? If you don't believe me, you can run up there and take a look for yourself (well, Hirgail can't, 'cause he suicided like a bitch). Methinks the whining is an attempt to get me to post more of what I did. And I'm not going to be doing that :) If everyone had the knowledge and material resources to solo Shelob every boot, that would make lair-running almost effortless. And that's not something I'm interested in.
And even on testmud...I've killed you. *gasp*
You have to understand Tevildo, you're a total jackass newb to us. You can't just show that and expect anyone to believe you.
I don't care how much playertesting you've done, you don't play the real game.
i heard of that sword pounder is talking about. I heard it has really really bad aim so its really hard to hit or something?
Isnt this one of the problems there is out there?
Of course if I found a way to solo shelob, I would not want to show to everyone else that how its made. On the other hand if one doesnt show to the rest of the world how its made, nobody believes you.
If everyone knew how to do the special things, they wouldnt be special.
This said, I have no idea if this is a fake or not. I just state the obvious.
This is like posting your own nomination for idiot of the year award.. Hey it worked you got my vote! What a loser.. I think someone wants some attention..
Yes, anyways. Seriously Tevildo you're a uh...We don't believe you.
itz teh rulez
This is a fake log and I demand it to be removed!!
*clap* Now you are gonna make me explore Shelob's lair cause she can be soloed?:)
Until more proof is made public, I call bullshit.
Ran in and out shivving!
That's not the method I used, Pounder. The damage to Shelob was actually dealt; nothing was 'set'. And it certainly wasn't instant.
Hirgail's comment made me laugh...
Go figure!
A. Tevildo wasn't the first to one man shelob...
B. Tevildo used a poorly coded weapon to instant kill her (ie: set->(SHELOB) = -1 HP)
Sorry Tevy, not the first (someone used the same method before you) and not really legit.
Did you read her some fanfic?
Who gives a fuck about a prompt.. as for solo'ing shelob, its a little hard to believe when you cant even solo the thug for trident without dying *snickers
$X<$HE> is a shitty prompt. Even with color.
You bored her to death, didn't you?
I could have made up a log, but there's no NPC whose death is as hard to fake. Her eyes are at Alexa's right now. You can take a stroll through her lair, if you'd like. The point was to show THAT it can be done, not HOW it can be done. I'd rather inspire people to try their own tactics.
And my prompt looks better in color :(
Yea, I mean........whats the point of posting a log where we see nothing. You could have easily made this log....find an old log of the context you get when you get the deathblow on Shelob. *shrug* Im not impressed untill I see the whole thing!! or at least something more then this.
You want my praise for soloing shelob, I'm going to need to see more than this.
And your prompt is ugly.
