"Sharing rooms does not work out well for a variety of reasons."

Actually I think it works far better now than it ever did before. I just usually don't take the time to ask hunters, because frankly so many here on the boards seem to think actually asking a hunter a question is always some snoop checking to see if they are AFK. So unless I know the person(and often even then), I don't bother to ask.

But when it works right, it works great. First of all I can get teaching experience in combat. Second the generation tends to increase, meaning my AOE has some real purpose. And I still tend to get 'almost' as much defense training- but thats okay because I can always lock defenses, but getting teaching while hunting is a very nice bonus. And certainly is more fun. I have shared a room several times a week recently and its always worked well....well except for those that PFE fades that I don't notice....

Anyway, not that there aren't challenges to sharing a room, but certainly doable, and I personally enjoy socializing while hunting sometimes.


"I refuse to believe people actually die in gryphons"

I probably resurrect at least 2-3 a week. Probably in most cases severly overhunting but it happens.

>I refuse to believe people actually die in gryphons
I made someone die in gryphons once. I also recall you making someone die in gryphons. So obviously people do actually die in gryphons.

ok, I refuse to believe people die in gryphons to actual gryphons ok?

<<It tends to interfere with more complex scripts, which is what many people seem to take issue with.

Being from TF, and knowing your scripting ability, I never thought I'd hear this from you. If it interferes with a "complex" script, then I'd argue that the script isnt complex enough.

I even know of many cases where a person was scripting two characters hunting in the same room both with very complex scripts. Shalade and his moonie comes to mind as well as Xalanthus and an empath in bristle peccs for a long time.

So, I wouldnt say this is a problem in group hunting. Not directed at you, but I think the real problem with group hunting is that people have been hunting alone for so long, they really dont know HOW to do it, so they think it isnt possible.

People that say it can only be done by hand either dont use Genie, or dont know how to write complex scripts or are too lazy to do it. Anything that can be done by hand can be scripted.

I think what he was saying is that it can be done, but unless your script is already set up for it, it can screw up your script and cause problems.

Group hunting happens so rarely that almost no one is going to have their uber-doom-hunting-script already set up for it.

Hunting with a mule Empath is an entirely different situation and shouldn't really come into this discussion. Scripting group hunting, when you're controlling both characters, is orders of magnitude easier than scripting it with some random guy whose actions are going to be unpredictable.

<<but unless your script is already set up for it, it can screw up your script and cause problems.

Well, if this was the case, lots of people's scripts would snag if you suddenly went in and started hunting in their room, right? I've invited myself to hunt in unresponsive people's room before, and for some reason, my hunting never seemed to be a problem for their script, no matter what I did. They do make good spawn generators though.

I wonder if it's mech abuse to use an AFK scripter as a source of creature generation. Hrm...

>>Well, if this was the case, lots of people's scripts would snag

I can say that it would cause problems for my script, but you wouldn't be able to tell just by watching what I was doing.

>> Never said it was a mule Empath. Its actually Zaeylor. At least when I was still hunting around Crossing.

I was mainly referring to Falkonis's example of Xalanthus and his mule Empath.

It's actually purty easy to write hunt'n scripts that don't get bothered by other people hunt'n in the room. this is what happens when you're wife only likes to socialize when killing stuff
