A Wiz - but how?Feature
A Wiz - but how?by Hawumph
SO - you are in a London pub, surrounded by immortals. Yes, Tethys, Lestat and Pugsley are there, along with Havoc, my saving grace, a second mortal. And the conversation turns to .. well see for yourself. Here is the MUDmail I sent to ALL wizzes.
|
From: Hawumph Dear Wiz From a recent conversation with such illustrious persona as Tethys Lestat and Pugsley, the topic got around to HOW did you make it finally, and were you (or actually would you after the event in case of recent wizdom) be proud of the manner of making immortality? From which I rashly offered the ABC my services as interviewer. So far I have accounts ranging from an online interview in detail, to I swamped the mattress! Could I have an account of your last reset, as brief or verbose as you like? And an answer to the question - are/were you proud? In anticipation Thanks. PS thats proud of the manner, not the actuality of making it! |
AND the responses? Well the mail ones, in alphabetical order, go like this. Oh apart from one who felt I was insulting the act of making Wiz by my question [A sensitive wiz? Never! Ed.]. As I answered, I have been at this too long without ever achieving that to feel anything other than admiration no matter how it is done. But the wizzes present at the initial conversation sort of mentioned that with hind-sight it would have been nice if the final mortal act had been ...... Well actually my first quote says it all - see Cat's "Making Wiz - part three"!
|
MAIL> The first time I made wiz was on Iplay a while back. My last reset was rather empty of players, but I think I managed to grab a couple of lowlives to do the golem. Having killed it I ran to the swamp with all the icons (4) and started to swamp them. After the seconds I became a wiz, and had the kindness to decide that after all I really ought to share the icons out fairly, and went to the hut and dished out the remaining two. It was slightly anticlimatic as there were no other wizzes around at the time to welcome me or anything, so I abused my wiz powers to run around killing mobiles instantly until Satchi arrived and caught me at it<g> Was I proud of it, well I was playing very defensively at the time, anticipating an attack at any time, so the question of style rather got forgotten about<g> Making Wiz - part two The second time I made wiz was on Mud2.com. As a high mage I was killing dwarf guards with another player (warlock?), and suddenly realised I was about 20 points from wiz, so I picked up the trophy from the latest set of guards we'd slain and went and swamped it to make wiz. Was I proud of it, yes I think I was - for starters I was playing in a fairly busy reset I think, with another player along side me as I fought some dangerous mobiles (well dangerous if he had decided to hack me:), and the trophy was a fairly appropriate object to swamp to make wiz<g> Making Wiz - part three The third time was on Wireplay. My whole aim of making wiz here was to do it with style, so I was doing all the tasks pretty much every reset. In my final reset I had done the dragon and I deliberately swamped some treasure to get me very very close to the right number of points. I then (and bear in mind my persona name is CAT), slew the mouse - and made wiz in doing so. I was bloody proud of this<g>, it was clever and I didn't cock it up by making wiz accidentaly or anything silly<g> CAT |
|
MAIL> My last reset was pretty unremarkable. I was just randomly swamping treasures and I think the last thing I swamped was a bottle. I wasn't out to make a name for myself with the most imaginative way of making wizdom so I'm certainly not ashamed of the way it happened. Wasn't overjoyed either I have to admit. It didn't take me long to make wiz (was playing for about 3 weeks here before I made it). It just seemed easy to me. Don't get me wrong, making wiz is a big thing and I didn't quit or anything though not many mortals saw me. I was actually one of the most active player around for a long while. Enough of my ramblings. Hope that answered your question. -------- |
|
MAIL> Hmm, my last reset. I'm afraid I forgot to keep a log of the happy event, so I'm no longer quite clear on the events. As some no doubt know, I had lost a 183k mage to the thief and decided that I had to start right back again or I'd probably have become really depressed and stopped playing for, well, a few hours at least :) So, 9 days later, I had another big fat mage. An obnoxious killer named Prophet seemed to have decided to torment me, but unluckily for him he kept arriving when I already had pointy things to stab him with, so he kept attempting to kill me through insults from the tea room. Then sometime on April 9, 1997 (or was it 1998? urgh...), I decided that today was the day, so he decided to try to FOD me from the entrance of the inn. Well, it didn't work, and I was free to keep going without having to pause to slap him with a sword now and then. (Hm, I seem to be rambling on and on without answering your question about my final reset - sorry, I'll get to it :) OK. Finally that evening I was getting quite fat, around the 190k mark, and was just doing the usual stuff - druids, icons and such. A killer, whose name I can't remember anymore, appeared, and my friends and I decided to find and attack him but he kept hiding. Finally we caught him at the rapids and gave him a sound drubbing, which he fled from. I then decided to where him, and I hadn't noticed that my magic was low, so whereing him caused me to turn into Lady Jillithe, at the score of 200,000 points :) Oops! I had a bit of panic but crossed my fingers, shouted the magic words (PLEASE HELP ME!!!!) and became a mage once again. The game reset and I decided to leave the off-shore activities to others (well, actually I was too slow) and just sauntered around doing the things I'd enjoyed doing as a lowlife, like emptying out the villa, doing the blue room, etc. (at least that's what I think I did). Cupid shot me and so I got to make some points by kissing my pal Sdrawkcab :) Then I hopped over to the swamp with some loot from the crypt and became a witch by swamping the skull. I was congratulated by friends and immortals and then one wizard told me that now I could change my name to a REAL name. (It seems he'd thought my name was "Jilli The", and he thought that whatever came after the "the" had gotten cut off... so for future reference, the name is "Jillithe" pronounced "Jill-ith" and anyone who calls me Jilli The will receive a nice big FOD! That's it. Long enough for ya? Jill--* |
|
MAIL> Well, I remember when I crossed the line...It was early September of 1993 and I had about 6 different mages chasing after me daily. I was at about 201k and doing the HH when the worst nemesis of all rolled up to me outside the hut, Bard the mage. He immediately sneered at me and bum rushed me with his BS. The fight seemed to last forever with spells going back and forth with one of my first spells finally doing the damage I need to win! I cast an IGN FOE'S CLOTH spell which lit up his bag and cape unseen by him in the flurry of spells. When he finally started getting toasted, my last hit brought him close to death and he finally fled, leaving me standing there with a pile of items, twitching in place and looking at the screen to see I was a wizard. Amazed and now in an extremely vengeful mood, I waited for Bard to return so I could FOD him for being an ass to me for so long. :) But he never returned. There ya go....hope it gets you a Pulitzer.... :) MacLeod |
|
MAIL> I was a BL wiz prior to learning Mud2. I was a Mud2 wiz on the Iplay system, and then became one at this site, as well. Mistress
------* |
|
MAIL> I never had a "last reset", because when I first became a wiz it was as a coder - I didn't add the ability for players to make wiz by scoring points for some time after that. Pride simply didn't come into the manner in which I became a wiz; I'm neither proud nor ashamed, it was (and, as far as I'm concerned, remains) a non-issue. Richard |
|
MAIL> Starfire---* |
|
MAIL> My second last reset I half expected to go over but I ended up a little over 203800 with only a few minutes left in the reset and my QW started reporting a pesky warlock who I'd never seen before prowling about. Of course now, safe and secure in my robes, it's clear I should have administered a dose of Valetant's special charms to said warlock. At the moment however it was 02:30 AM, my nerves were near snapped, my play was erratic to put it kindly so with an equal measure of reluctance and exhaustion I toddled off to bed. As for whether or not I'm proud of swamping a mattress I'd have to say not particularly ;) I've tried it since and it's still fairly easy. I'll leave myself open to any armchair psychologists out there and say that if I'm in a reflective mood I tend to think more in terms of the whole wiz run more than the instant I went over. Tet. |
AND then whilst playing, several times I met (I think that should be "was met by") an immortal. And here are their stories. These game logs, by the way, are slightly edited - mainly to remove my own side comments! Oh and Boggy's ATTROCIOUS spelling! [That should be ATROCIOUS - Ed.] Sorry Boggy, but it is. I left in the one where you were so "neverous" you "couln't" spell the name of the thing you couldn't remember anyway.

Florence the bewitching witch has just arrived with a crash of
thunder.
"great entrance
Florence the bewitching witch smiles.
Florence
the bewitching witch has dropped you in the place known as "conference
room".
Florence the bewitching witch cackles.
Hawumph settles himself
comfortably for a tale of daring
Florence the bewitching witch says "Quieter
here.".
l
Conference room.
You are situated in a fine, Edwardian-period
conference room, its perfect acoustics and lack of distractions being ideal for
private, cosy chats.
Florence the bewitching witch is here.
Florence the
bewitching witch says "Ok, so basically I made it by dropping the broadsword in
the swamp.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "I think Lestat had lots of
elaborate plans, but they went out of the window when he had the treasure in his
greasy paws.".
Hawumph the mage laughs on the floor, rolling.
Florence the
bewitching witch smiles.
Florence the bewitching witch asks "So, I take it
you want the leading up bit, rather than just me saying bs?".
Florence the
bewitching witch giggles.
"details would be nice - but whatever
Florence
the bewitching witch grins.
Florence the bewitching witch nods.
Florence
the bewitching witch says "Ok, so I had been playing for the whole
reset.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "I really didn't expect to do it
that reset, thought I would have to play another.".
Florence the bewitching
witch says "I had done the draggie, druids etc..".
Florence the bewitching
witch says "But still not enough points.".
Florence the bewitching witch says
"Only one other person playing, Carl, so couldn't do the golem.".
Hawumph
frantically scribbles notes
Florence the bewitching witch says "Rainbow (or
one of his characters, can't remember the name) came on in the last 3 minutes or
so.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "So, we decided to do
golem.".
Florence the bewitching witch shivers.
Hawumph listens
expectantly
Florence the bewitching witch says "So, went in to fight Golem,
doing ok... reset about to happen.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "So,
begged for a postpone - for the first time.".
Florence the bewitching witch
says "And got it".
Florence the bewitching witch smiles.
Hawumph the mage
nods.
Florence the bewitching witch says "Killed the nasty ole golem, gave
Carl his icon.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "And rainbow said I could
keep his".
"wow - i thought all wizzes were sadists and would have wanted a
second reset to gloat
Florence the bewitching witch says "So, chucked the
icons in the swamp, was about to quit".
"present company excepted of
course
Florence the bewitching witch giggles.
Florence the bewitching
witch says "of course.".
Florence the bewitching witch grins.
Florence the
bewitching witch says "Then I thought, maybe better drop fs ring and bs in swamp
before I quit".
Florence the bewitching witch says "dropped them, and did
it.".
Florence the bewitching witch giggles.
"cool - but quiting in swamp
drops them anyway
Florence the bewitching witch says "Didn't realise i had
done it straight away, until I saw a certain witch.".
Florence the bewitching
witch grins.
Florence the bewitching witch asks "not so much fun, to make it
as you quit though is it?".
Florence the bewitching witch smiles.
"what,
no fireworks?
Florence the bewitching witch says "So, that was my
tale.".
Florence the bewitching witch says "and I was a dragon-slawying witch
for all of 30 seconds, before the reset.".
Florence the bewitching witch
giggles.
Florence the bewitching witch says "err dragon-slaying too".
say
now THAT is style
Florence the bewitching witch says "That was the thing I
was most proud of.".
Florence the bewitching witch grins.

(Grumpy
the cantankerous wizard) says "the last reset was the most
nerve-racking.."
"at what points did you start it?
(Grumpy the
cantankerous wizard) says "However, I thought the previous reset was more
fun".
"hehe ok both - great
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "I
started the last one at about 194k".
"expecting to do it in 1 go?
(Grumpy
the cantankerous wizard) says "well..the previous reset, it was almost done, a

cantankerous wizard) says "another Sorc was also prowling around".
Hawumph
the mage nods.
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "Alita was the other
Sorc, never saw her before".
say aw why?
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard)
says "Another Mage was also on..".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "He
never bothered me..Fury, I think.".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says
"Lestat was in heaven - two mages..".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard)
chuckles.
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "Ok, after I did the draggy,
I managed to get rid of the wolf, and find myself a nice safe room to rest
up".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "I was on about 202k at this
stage..".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "unfortunatley, I had a
problem here..couldn't track, where, etc..".
"i suppose the question "were
you nervous" is a bit daft?
*(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "so, I
popped out, did a WH LESTAT, and back in again".
*(Grumpy the cantankerous
wizard) says "umm..there was a little bit of a puddle forming..".
"no that
was the beer
Hawumph the mage grins.
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard)
grins.
*(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "As soon as I popped out to
check where Lestat was..he was there, waiting for me..".
"wow he is just SO
lucky
*(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "I just missed him".
*(Grumpy
the cantankerous wizard) sighs.
*(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "he
had somehow or other come into possession of the LS".
(Grumpy the
cantankerous wizard) says "anyway, there I was, stewing in my juices when I got
a message from "someone*.".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "Help me,
root room..".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "fighting
lestat..".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "it was make or break

(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "I did a quick o.....k mm
f wp".
"mermaid?
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "he was synned as
mm in that version, before mermaid".
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says
"next thing, I was in the thick of it.".
"wouldn't the smart move be to wait
and sneak the last bit?
(Grumpy the cantankerous wizard) says "Alita comes
