<blushes>

Well, if you MUST know....

There have been times when I wake up in the morning in r/l and get to the
PC, log in, etc. etc. and there I am nekkid at me bind spot. Hmmm, wonder
where I died last knight??? I vaguely remember something about South Karana.
Guess I'll head that way and check it out. Zone to HH: you have no corpses
in the zone. Zone to EK: you have no corpses in the zone. Zone to NK: you
have no corpses in the zone. Zone to SK: you cannot summon that corpse from
here. Ahh! Time to mem Lyssia! =)

Or I have come back to the screen and the text buffer is spammed with:
you are hungry
you are thristy
you are out of food
you are out of drink

Look at my health bars and sta is at zero. And I am either blocking a zone,
or nose against some far zone wall, or standing idly in the Gfay wiz spires
(I fall alseep zoning or traveling and either die, hit a wall, stay at zone
or my wiz fiends have been known to tele me to Gfay and leave me in the
relative safety there ;p)

But even when I am awake, dungeons and me simply get me all mixed up. I get
lost really easy. My group gets real sick of leading me and out all the
time. Run to the zone? You got to be kidding! Of course, it dont help when
the route you take in is different from the route to run out and you never
practice the run out (which I do now - when they take me somewhere new) "ok,
jump down here.." Jump here? How the hell am I supposed to get out???
(Sol-a, Perma, and Lguk all have spots like that.)

And the new places we got to now - you got to have an evac person or be
prepared to fite your way in and back out. We spent a long knight in Lguk
Frenzied room. At 3am as we were heading out, we decided to check the Exe
room but someone lost invis in the middle of the jail. Soon we had more
than 10-15 froogies on us (full party of 6). We paniced. Someone said Zone
and we bolted. Now the number of froggies doubled. I died real fast. I
think 3 of the party made the zone. We should have stood our ground and
fought. We had an enchanter who 10 of the mezzed. All we had to do was
kill them one by one. But we paniced and ran and that did half of us in.

So, to answer your question, MOST of the time I know pretty much where I am
but if I am ever in doubt I just do /w sylly all and it tells me zactly
which zone I am in and then I am fine =)

somewhere on Innoruuk

p.s. one time after helping someone get their corpse outta Runnyeye, we are
Selos back from Gorge to HH ramp and go thru that canyon by the shops. I
see this corpse laying there and think: hmm, wonder who the fool was that
died here? So, I target and guess what? "a Sylly corpse0" Hehe, it's ME!!!
So, I go over and loot it - WOW so that's where my spare drum went!!!

Sylly,

After reading your recent posts about being lost all of the time, I have to
ask about your signature.

Do you say "somewhere on Innoruuk" because you don't know *where* exactly??
