People share their account. Or you can sleep 10-15 min between afk checks. Another option is dying.
OP, you’ve surpassed even this guy: https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/19/world...ath/index.html

So option 3 of dying seems like a fairly real possibility.

He didn't even have AFK checks. If I was allowed to "slump face down into my keyboard" I wouldn't have made a forum post or ever left the Manastone camp the second weekend.

Very interested to hear when/if you do finally get the MS drop, and what the final time tally was. So far this is the longest I’ve personally heard of someone going at that camp. Pray to god someone doesn’t train EE, which evidently has been happening fairly frequently.

Randy Gardner (born c. 1948) set the record for the longest a human has gone without sleep. In 1964, Gardner, a high school student aged 17 , in San Diego, California, stayed awake for 11 days and 25 minutes (264.4 hours.)

This dude is the real OG, people are soft now.

I can FD, also a crowd here now. The camp was trained twice around hour 40 for me, I forget exactly. I was actually peeing and did die from AOE standing me up the first time though.

AFK checks beyond position 1 is a news story waiting to happen.

Especially with pure RNG and no hard cap drop after a certain amount of time.

I think the best system is cascading RNG. Where it goes from a 1-100 roll, then 1-90, then 1-80, etc until its guaranteed to drop. Intervals can be whatever amount of time. Like after 2 hours it's 1-90. Then 6 hours 1-80. 24 hours 1-1.

Um, I hate to be the jerk, but I have a druid and port a lot and unless you're lvl 29 and staying at 29, you cannot run out of mana porting. At lvl 40, I lined up ports one night 5 deep and with the time it takes to invite, disband, mem, accept money, etc, I never dropped below 40m.

You want a MS for your char and that's fine. To say you're doing it for server beneficence, altruism, or philanthropy,... I"m sorry, but gimme a break.

Hi, you're bad at porting, that is all really but I'll elaborate. I am level 50 with over 210 Wis. I don't count ports but I would guess I do nearly 50 an hour when busy. I waste 0 time and approach it from a cooks perspective of juggling orders.

I SoW everyone and see invis/ invis half most likely. I med while casting with clarity. I still run out of mana. I also enjoy buffing newbs. I'm extremely generous with my time and what wealth I have.

Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to me but there is a difference between a guy getting his second Stone to Lord over casuals vs. someone getting one to be able to do even more helpful shit for people such as an on call cleric and druid to come res/ buff people. I fully support people like Mcoy(?) Who go out of their way to counter those whose goal is to deny pixels.

I also sow everyone I port.

The only way to run OOM porting is to constantly port between druid rings looking for people. Perhaps that's your thing and you want a MS for it, but I've found that less effective - although I'm "bad at porting."

I've found porting and then zoning once or twice results in more ports and higher tips. But what would I know? I'm bad at this. Also way better for selling your wares that you've camped.

Sorry to have offended you. If you're really the "port guy," and that's what ticks your clock, have at it and GL to you.

You guys should have a port-off to settle this for once and all.
