Lag
From The Ankyrean Archives
Lag. It's a fact of life in Aetolia (but that doesn't mean you should evar accept it, evar). In fact, if you haven't died to it, you're either a Novice, or maybe Desian (in that case, GTFO my article before you destroy it with your very presence! Err... I mean... please?).

Wut?
Lag. You know, when a series of packets are delayed as they traverse the relays to the destination server the internet hates you and your commands won't go through. Yeah. It's a bitch, ain't it.
Example:
You ball up one fist and hammerfist Sanctus. You connect to the left leg! You have slain Sanctus. Defeated, Sanctus is cast out of the Arena. ********************************************************** You have been victorious and leave the Arena in triumph! ********************************************************** You ease yourself out of the Tiger stance. The Ashtan Colosseum Staging Grounds. A dark brown root sigil is here. You see exits leading east and southwest. Your spirit is strengthened and you know that your spleen is functioning again. The Arena is once again open for combat. Left Hand Balance Used: 4.25 seconds H:3704 M:3704 E:100% [cs eb -r] You must regain balance first. H:3704 M:3704 E:100% [cs eb -r] Equilibrium Used: 1.25 seconds You declare that Sanctus will no longer be one of your enemies. H:3704 M:3704 E:100% [cs -b -r] You have recovered equilibrium. H:3704 M:3624 E:100% [cs eb -r] Sanctus tells you, "Stop." H:3704 M:3624 E:100% [cs eb -r] You may eat another bit of irid moss. H:3704 M:3624 E:100% [cs eb -r] You have recovered balance on your legs. H:3704 M:3624 E:100% [cs eb -r] Sanctus tells you, "Wow." H:3704 M:3544 E:100% [cs eb -r] You have recovered balance on your left arm. H:3704 M:3544 E:100% [cs eb lr] Sanctus arrives from the east. H:3704 M:3544 E:100% [cs eb lr] Sanctus tells you, "Lagged out."
But wait!
lol he had a concussion.. yea that will feel like lag
Ways to Avoid It:
- Quit the game.
- Move closer to Aetolia's servers. (They are in San Francisco.)
What to do when you die to it:
- Whine
- Yell at your foe that you got Soul Aeon - it's not OOC, because "soul" and "aeon" are in-game terms, right? But noooo - the RP Hatecrew don't see it that way.
- Ragequit
- Slit your wrists, you Emo.
- Issue - it's always the right plan.
- Or, you could just ignore it and get a life.
