Later, as the white coated man with the heals+8 ability is talking to you, you wonder how you lost.

1141. You realize that the only reasonable answer is that you've been too low a level to survive a bunch of level 1s.
1142. So you kill the healer for experience. After all, he has heal +8, so he's at least level 2.

Genius. That's using your resources at hand.

The chances of levelling off that one lvl2 kill are unlikely, you would need to find a lot of level 0 Civilians and kill them.

The Wesnoth Psychopath could, in theory, exist.

The healer is only the first step towards your level 10 Forum Terror Lord form (that's more powerful than just an Forum Overlord - From Disgaea).
Unfortunately, you still need to watch for Forum Emperor's Banhammer.

Limited by levels still? I've moved beyond them, I am limitless. ;)

You do realize this means anyone who attacks you gains 1xp for every level you are, so if you have limitless levels they will gain limitless exp, which will give them limitless AMLA's and thus limitless health.

So in theory, anyone who attacks you becomes invincible.

I said I moved beyond levels, and therefore have no levels at all, thus I give no experience.

Besides, it's an irrelevant point, since noon who attacks him, or who he attacks, survives.

It's been going on for 2.5 years, it might die for a little while, but it always comes back.

1144: You see Turuk has posted in a topic, and your first reaction is to check if the topic is locked or not. :P

1145: You see it is locked, and you check to see his funny closing message about it.

I do occasionally do funny ones, though lately I have not been inspired enough to do so. Plus, it has to be a thread where I cannot be writing a serious response to close the thread and then leave a funny lock message. ;)

1147: You attempt to create a silly thread for Turuk to lock in hopes of a funny lock message. (Honestly, this is one of the few signs that someone who seriously played too much Wesnoth might attempt...)
