Yours is the first real healing poem I've seen used on the Dag field. I imagine most people forget that it's actually in the ruleset. I certainly did until I saw yours and thought, "Oh yeah, we can have poems!"
Maybe deal with it on a case-by-case basis, since you see them so very rarely.

Roji: I was using a poem, but I remember someone mentioning the counting thing. Those do get on my nerves as well.

Easiest to memorize are songs. Mine is the 1st verse through bridge of a rock song. You just sing the song to yourself on overdrive, and you'll have it down. I'm working on an actual poem, "Forgotten" is my placeholder until I have it done.

I was healed a few times with the same poem.. from different people... a very unique poem slightly on the evil side... but shouldn't each poem be unique from another and no two be identical? And aren't they all supposed to be approved by heralds?

Yes they are supposed to be approved, and I think it may have been the dragoons or the other unit on red team, but one of the two distrubuted many copies of the same poem. I dont really know how I stand on the same poem thing. For two reasons. 1)They are a unit so it make sense their healers would have had similar "training" and therefore the same poem, but 2)that means everyone can be a healer. Maybe we impose a limit? Because if everyone started healing it would throw the game off.

The Chaos guys have a evil sounding poem. One of my realmmates is in that unit, and he showed it to me. Mighta been them. Also, even if everyone carried a poem, not everyone would stop and heal. Think of how long it takes me or you to run through our heal. Now imagine trying to do that with a shield wall bearing down on you, considering the rules say you can't fight while healing, and neither can your victim- I mean patient.

In the case of the Knights of Chaos poem I am not sure there is a difference Asvani, Also of not several healing Poems were checked in and the knights specifically asked me if multiple people could use the same poem

This event sparked my interest in using healers at events. I think in future NS events, we will have some healer active battles. I think I'll denote healers by making them wear white cloth around their arms or whatever. It'll show them as legally being healers and make them a bigger target for the other team!

I dont think that would be necessary, when I was healing I had to be protected because everyone noticed me healing and shot arrows and javelins at me. Lol I think I am a big enough target.

I think he means the white arm band as much to say these guys have approved healing poems, and anybody else is nt allowed to heal you

Sounds reasonable, but the heralds would have to make sure *everyone* knows the marked healers are the only ones allowed to heal you.

Yeah. It was me that gave out the multiple healing poems. With permission of coarse. The poem is a general one I wrote for my unit to use, but I had extra that I gave out.
And it would be a good idea (seeing as healing is a part of the full Dag mechanic) to have white bands. They would be best given out to those that physically bring a poem to get checked, so we avoid people just doing the counting thing.
I would also like to see an enforced ruling on the number of people able to be healed at once. Where it is common sense to say that a healer can only heal one person at a time, the rules do not state a limit. They only state "To heal a person, the Healer must be in direct physical contact with the injured person."

After reviewing the rules... yeah, it should probably be posted in there just so people don't get the idea that they can dogpile the healer. (or at the very least, have 10 people each holding one of the healer's fingers to constitute direct contact.)
Roji and I did have a guy actually screw up our healing by trying to get us to chain people together as a heal. I believe the words Roji used were "shut up and be healed". Guy wouldn't stop talking and he kept interrupting us, making us have to start over.

Though that was not who I was referring to, I remember him and he was most obnoxious, I was debating fratricide so I could finish.

Since this thread seems to have degenerated into complaining about people I am going to go ahead and lock it, the event it is about was over a week ago, and the discussion currently going on would be better on another part of the boards
