Things you do in-game to spite it.

[LoopyLeo]

Name says it all: what are the things that you do in game, which are more likely than not "non-optimal", in order to spite it?

For me, my two biggest petty comebacks are:

1.) Using Airstrike against Orc Priests, even by the time they're popcorn -- "Let's see how you like smiting!"

2.) Eating Sigmund. I don't really die to him anymore, but my god! I eat him whenever I get the chance. It's just so satisfying; a way of getting back at him for all those characters he's murdered. I am very disappointed when he leaves a body behind if I'm a Spriggan though, robs me of the satisfaction.

So, what are yours?

I love when you can get the eating Natasha hat trick

1. Animating uniques is a favorite for me - if Sigmund was hard to kill it's all the more fun to make him fight for me. Bonus points for animating things with distortion or chaos weapons and seeing them banish/paralyze/etc. your enemies.

2. Natasha must always be hunted down all three times. Bonus points if you reanimate her corpse and use it to kill her.

2.a. Alternatively, wait until you find Boris, and drag one to the other. Turn them against each other, have them accidentally attack each other, you name it. Requires a lot more work, though.

2.b. Alternatively, killing Boris and/or Natasha with Morg. Requires some dedication, but it's kinda evilly satisfying.

3. Enslaving an enemy's special followers and turning them against the enemy. Margery's hell knights, Tiamat's draconians, etc. Bonus points for doing it to Pikel's slaves, Sigmund/Edmund, or Dowan/Duvessa.

4. Killing vampires with the Vampire's Tooth. In the same vein, killing Zonguldrok with his sword, spriggans with the Spriggan's Knife, etc.

4. Polymorphing Kirke. See how much *she* likes it!

5. Phantom mirror-ing Mara. Fair is fair.

6. Using reflection to kill...well, anything. Do unto others, and all that.

One time(this was either .12 or .13, probably .12) I stranded Iijyb on like D:1 because she just about wiped my SpEn before she got started. Eleven runes later I come back with the Orb, and Shatter, and proceed to hunt her down and Shatter her just for the sake of telling her to go to hell.

I tend to put Zot powers work for me and use Control Undead on Death Cobs every time I see one and see how many dragons it alone can drop before turning into flakes.

Those who have not tried this, I can tell you that a single shadow dragon doesn't stand a chance. Golden dragon can kill it if it gets lucky with fire breaths. I dunno what the score will be if this is tested in Arena. By my experience even electric golems go down easily especially if the Charmed Corn gets the first slowing attack in.

I don't think boris will respawn until you kill the previous one. If anyone knows how to get boris to fight boris, I'd love to see it, but I don't think you can. Obviously not counting phantom mirrors, I mean 'real' boris v. boris

[duvessa]

Not using allies.

Enter notes constantly about how I can't believe such and such still exists. "Wow... fruit... that was fun"

[Majang]

I like drowning Cerebov in lava, by using a tornado and flying myself.

[papilio]

Kill Duvessa by hitting her with Dowan's chunk wielded

[MainiacJoe]

Once I learn the spell, I only kill orc priests with Orb of Destruction.

[stoneychips]

Phantom mirror on a death knight, while it's reflecting damage.

Rather useful actually, though probably not the biggest possible target in the realm by Vaults. Regardless, very satisfying.

Lose a few times, lose again and then lose some more, that'll teach it !!!
