I am mostly staying out of this thread as I had my fun in the previous one, but two quick points:

1) Vuldan is not and has not been KGB for many many years. His guild, CxC has been hostile toward KGB ever since they split. I am not saying I disagree with what he says here, or agree - just pointing out that CxC members do not speak for KGB.

2) Masking your casting wasnt something you invented that late in UO... in fact someone called Palus showed me the rudiments of it as far back as Febuary and I doubt she invented it. Amongst the circles of hardcore pvpers it was common knowledge for approx 8 months prior to the time period you describe.
