h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Scones are different... I found something (sort of) useful for it...

http://www.foodreference.com/html/artenglishmuffins.html

The Goth problem seems to have something to do with my w*rk connection - I had no problems on my home PC... (shhh - I didn't want to wait until I got home to try it out - don't tell anyone!) *looks guiltily over shoulder*

Ouch - there are s now? (vampire hunters) You can tell it's been some time since I last played ravenblack, eh?

"Nov 13 2004 - New Kids In Town
There are rumours of some new faction stirring. Lesser vampires have been found staked, and nobody knows who did it."

They are not even a year old yet!


Did I really rob you, Mort???
There can only be two explanations for that:
1) I was busy and didn't see it was you
2) I *did* see it was you and made a point of stealing from you!


(Btw. if anyone was wondering, I'm Hugo in Gothador )

I love it when people rob me and then run out of AP in the next square. Revenge is sweet

I never drink of vamps (unless a quest) but I have no shame in robbing them

I didnt log in for ages and I was surprised my two were still active. So now I just try and boost there BP and make a bit of cash as a sideline.

"You are the vampire Batty You have drunk 8852 pints of blood.
Your rank is Legendary"

Batty, you will always be legendary on h2g2

Thanks Mort.

With my vampires all fully powered I'm mostly just robbing and snacking on humans. I will bite vampires with offensive names though - I feel it's my duty.

Hugo. I was wondering why you gave me all that stuff (I would have said thanks but I didn't notice at the time). The amulet of detection is paticularly useful, I hate wondering around those things with no idea where i am heading.

And I only bite vampires who bit me first, if I can find them

Ahh! The Vampire hunter got me, now I only have 48 pints of blood

Question about Gothador:

Is there any way to see how long another player has been gaming? Or what kind of equipment a player is carrying?

In Ravenblack, I only rob people with 1,000 pints of blood or more, because I assume they can take the loss.

In Gothador, being a complete newbie, I've been robbed twice already! What am I supposed to do - refrain from picking up money unless I'm sure I have enough APs left to reach a bank?

As for equipment, I was running around completey naked with a rusty dagger - it must be pretty obvious that I'm a newbie!

I've got the names memorized - what is the fastest way to learn how to rob people so that I can have my revenge?

If you go to square 50,50 you can get the 'sense' skill. This allows you to see what armour and skills other players have.

You should also try the tutorial (click on the button in the top right hand corner of the screen) and it gives you a walk through of of the skills and you get a shield, sword and armour (very rubbish ones but better than nothing ) by performing quests in a past world.

http://www.guildofwisdom.co.uk/ is a great help too.

Basically the symbol next to a player shows how strong they are. Just hovver the mouse over the symbol. But once you get the sense skill then you can see everything about the player including how much cash they have!

So... if the two persons who robbed me had Sense (which I assume they had, being thieves that seems to be a very good skill to have) then they knew perfectly well what crappy equipment I had - and they *still* robbed me?

I checked out the tutorial but decided to fool around on my own - currently doing the Rat Hunter quest, and somehow picked up a quest in a realm I can't get into unless I become a supporter - ho hum...

Yes it can be a cruel place sometimes

http://www.guildofwisdom.co.uk/quests/index.asp?op=3

that is a list of quests non supporters can do. (except you can't finish bank run but you do get to keep the cash!

What is your Goth nickname?

It's a name I've been contemplating for some time after finding that Titania is usually taken at oh-so-many sites: Teatania
