Any of you not have a chance to check and go thru your email for a few days
and end up with 300 Bard emails to go thru? :-) I'm 208 behind and instead
of answering each thing as I come to it, I'll combine everything into one
email and fire it off when done... that way, I can add and delete if
questions have been answered.....

Assist command - The person you're assisting "seems" to have to have both
the creature targeted (makes sense) AND have auto attack on. When my ranger
friend is pulling a creature in, I usually target him early and try to
assist as he's running back... Doesn't seem to work all the time as he's
probably got me or a party member tracked to find his way back. Seems
there's also a range on it. I also network and my GF plays next to me...
I've noticed that I have to hit "A" for auto-attack before her assist will
work.

Charismatic Carillion - I used it on an Enchanter NPC in Qeynos that looked
down on me to get a cheap little quest of returning some bat fur. Going to
check prices on Combine's and Well Balanced very soon as i just got level 17
and am in dire need of a 2nd weapon.

Hate list for Lullaby - Seems that maybe it does Nix the complete hate
list... but when it wakes up, it still remembers being asleep. Since the
Bard put it to sleep, the Bard is the only one on the hate list at that
point. This seems to confirm this thought I had - "I've noticed though that
once a mob is lulled, your hatedness by the creature is very low. If you
don't do anything else to it the next hit by someone else will draw it off."

On Purposeful Trains - It is bannable, if they can prove it was intentional.
Very very tough to do as a situation I was in showed. Our party was in the
Gorge on Xegony. There was a character wipe that affected approx 200
characters and the last save was 2 weeks before. This one character,
Damarr, in particular had lost 9 levels, down to level 20, or so he said. I
heard him shouting in Rivervale, complaining whining, bitching, screaming at
Verant, etc. I ignored him. We're fighting some muddites in the gorge and
I noticed that the frequency of them coming in seems to be a bit much...
we'd dispatch a group of 2 or 3 and there'd be 2 more showing up... Seemed a
bit strange, since the zone was relatively uncrowded and their wandering
patterns aren't THAT frequent. I thought nothing of it, but after killing 5
or so, we zoned to runnyeye and healed up. Back in the gorge a few minutes
later and we're fighting and no less than 4 Mino's come running in. I
didn't see how, cause I was engrossed in battle, but my GF had seen Damarr
leading them in. She also mentioned she saw him leading in the muddites
earlier. We zoned, barely alive and I lost my cool and fired off a few
choice words saying that We were not verant and he shouldn't be trying to
destroy us cause he's pissed at them. Back in the Gorge and other people
are shouting about him and he starts to shout. He ADMITS in a shout that
he's trying to kill everyone cause Verant screwed him over. My girlfriend,
my party, and I, and who knows how many other people in the zone at that
time have screen shots of his admission. We all petitioned and finally a
guide showed up. I was the one that was contacted and I was instructed to
try and get him to admit it again in a shout. I'm thinking ONCE was pretty
damn good for someone to admit it, but twice? The screen shots apparently
aren't good enuf, since they can be doctored.... SHEESH!!! So, it was my
job to try and goad him into admitting in a shout or a say (guide was invis
and parked right next to him) that he was purposefully training... Not a
chance in hell of that happening twice. All I did was make myself look like
an asshole for "stooping to his level" and arguing and fighting with him in
shouts... as one comment said, "It looks like a 12 year old argument". I
ended up apologizing to the guide for wasting her time and resisted the urge
to throw the monitor on the floor. : P It is VERY hard to prove someone
trains intentionally. This guy did it multiple times and nothing happened.
While I don't condone training as a way of getting revenge (too many other
innocent people can be slaughtered) and I would never have the balls to do
it myself, the only thing proven to me (By Verant) is that while bannable,
it simply is not going to happen.
