Introduction

Lxndr is a relatively new user, only having started to play on the first Feast of Boris in 2007, though he was too new to really take advantage of it then. Interestingly, he's a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, and thus a local to Jick and company, not that he's ever met them or anything. He has gone to the past two KoLCons that have come his way.

Probably the most notable thing he's done as far as Kingdom of Loathing is concerned, is that he was the first to successfully predict the Libram of candy heart summoning as the Item of the Month for February 2007 on the official Kingdom of Loathing forums (see post here) - which remains his favorite Mr. Store item (though the Doppelshifter comes in a close second). Elsewhere in the world he's 'notable' for writing Fastlane, the first and so far only tabletop roleplaying game to use a roulette wheel instead of dice.

On the Monday before NS13, he had brain surgery to remove a brain tumor.

A long-time friend of the Radio KoL DJ Jezebelle, Lxndr took quickly to the game, donating for five Mr. Accessories in his first month (later sold for a Doppelshifter and a Comma Chameleon, and traded for a Libram), and ascending twice (the second time on January 31st, when the Libram came out). Still, he's tried to donate at least $10 to the game each month, and has picked up several more items (and has his eyes set on a few more). Recently he came into a lot of meat through eBay, and will be spending that until it's gone.

In more fanciful moments, Lxndr dreams of getting a 17-ball and hypnodisk. Note, he doesn't want to purchase them, or be gifted them - he wants to earn them for himself. Of course, these are ultra-rare items, so he's in for a long wait.

Not likely to ever be a major mover and shaker in the Kingdom of Loathing, or even well-known really, he nonetheless felt the need to create this userfile after signing up on the Wiki to edit a few entries that appeared to need clarification. His activity has somewhat slowed, partly due to his choice to participate in Hardcore, and partly due to certain medical problems. Also, his boycotting of cooking and cocktailcrafting (not to mention most equipment-dependent buffs) will keep him permanently off the speed boards.

Wish List:

• 17-ball (17 has always been Lxndr's lucky number)
• hypnodisk (Lxndr is a certified hypnotherapist)

Future Runs

Lxndr is not a big fan of crafting skills in MMOs, especially in Kingdom of Loathing those involving food and booze. He understands their usefulness, but wants to see how far he can get in hardcore without them. He knows all about what he's sacrificing. He's working on getting all the plexiglass and brimstone sets (as seen above and below). After that he'll start his long-term plans of collecting every passive skill in the game.

Nota Bene: The long-term plans are the most tentative. Nonetheless, the basic idea is to acquire all the passive skills (including the Gnomish and Hobopolis ones) while building the set of Sauceror attack spells, and collecting as many complete stainless sets as possible.

These were sorted into a few basic categories: an elemental resistance loop (plus moxie from the AT), a defensive/HP loop, a damage/MP loop, an item/drop loop, and a meat/miscellaneous loop. Each loop includes a few Sauceror attack spells. Finally, Lxndr will round out his attacking options and pick up a few more skills with passive components (the disco naps), grab some combat frequency adjustors, and build up the Pastamancer attack skills.

This pattern was only be broken twice - Lxndr forgot to purchase the elemental resistance skill for his Turtle Tamer, and after doing a 100% Black Cat Bad Moon run in the middle of the elemental resistance loop, he decided to drop into Softcore for a brief while, to clear his head and to maybe enjoy the upcoming Crimbo events happening during that time.

Afterwards, Lxndr will have two Accordion Thief songs and may not ever pick up any more, as he dislikes any buff that is equipment-based (especially crafted-equipment-based). Maybe he'll pick up one more HP, who knows?

Other Plans

• Trivially Skilled Trophy (all 0 skills) - all P - this should give me the remaining hollow numbered tattoos.
• Eerily Skilled Trophy (HPing Snarl in a BM SC run, the others HP)
