Stormy and Norfy have a 'history' of mutual ... antagonism. I'm afraid that any calls for reason, calm, and restraint will fall upon deaf ears.
Stormy has a history of hypocrisy as well, demanding as a condition of my joining his game that I swear to stop flaming him, while obviously never passing up any opportunity to nail Norf.
That's not entirely correct, as we both know. The first condition I requested was that you would not start any flame wars in our game thread agaist any fellow players, incuding Cohen, whom you never pass opportunity to flame, just like I do with Norfleet. So I would be carefull in your place with accusations of hypocricy. As I said, I have no desire to see another game thread with you in it to desintigrate into nasty flamewar. I think you understand my position.

On topic : Am I the only one who wishes that the phantom AI wouldn't decide that unscripted B1 sages should ... charge the attacking barbarian horde?
Just change them "holdx5"+"stay behind" or "retreat", while positioning them far int he back. Or give them blood+1 item so they would have *something* to cast, even when they don't have any bloodslaves.

But yes, perhaps it would be nice if any mages who don't have any efficient spells to cast, would just hold thier spot, instead of switihing to "stay behind" routine. Or maybe if devs would add "stay in your position" order to the script commands. I hate seeing my archers charging after they run out of arrows as well and geting slaugtered.
