-Long ago, growing up and hero’ing in the Order of Eternal Champions town I listened, bugged, and asked as many questions as I could regarding CPK. Back then they were the most powerful EQ town and allied to one of the most powerful CPK groups, Mythions 88 and Urimar’s 68. In effect I had a great “childhood environment” to learn a lot of the aspects of med. Many players put up with my childlike questions and provided a great catalyst to improve my med play. Players like Elander, Jabari, Mythion, Taloc, Therac and Keirgar to name a few. I also bore the brunt of a Tharspasm on multiple occasions as he was not a fan of my casual willingness to try new things without having a clue of what I was doing.
+Long ago, growing up and hero’ing in the Order of Eternal Champions town I listened, bugged, and asked as many questions as I could regarding CPK. Back then they were the most powerful EQ town and allied to one of the most powerful CPK groups, Mythrandir's 88 and Urimar’s 68. In effect I had a great “childhood environment” to learn a lot of the aspects of med. Many players put up with my childlike questions and provided a great catalyst to improve my med play. Players like Elander, Jabari, Mythion, Taloc, Therac and Keirgar to name a few. I also bore the brunt of a Tharspasm on multiple occasions as he was not a fan of my casual willingness to try new things without having a clue of what I was doing.
 The base set of knowledge I gained there allowed me to enter situations with a different perspective, granted large room for experimentation, and drastically improved my gameplay and knowledge. This set of knowledge has enabled me to control my CPK environment. To date, these rules have never failed to keep me alive. All of my CPK deaths were either a direct acceptance of the risk of a dice roll or a failure to respect these rules. Analysis of my infamous 3bil death in Castiack to Aimon and Lycanthu's tech setup follows this article.

 )     Have wimpy set to 255.  If you wimpy, it will require them to take action and risk messing it up. You could engage a mob and wimpy again. Some rooms don't tell players which way you fled when wimpying. So players have to check multiple rooms. You may get a mob ice instead of a player death. They may Footfall the stab. All of these chances add up and are in your favor. There is no downside to having wimpy on when trying to avoid a stake. The only downside to wimpy is if you are actively fighting another player and they want to try to get mobiles to get you to flee when you don't want to.
 To recap. None of this has anything to do with fighting another player this is only stake avoidance and death protection. This is a lot of work but by following it, it makes you nearly invincible. Having a another player with you doubles your odds of seeing someone on where and makes it safer to walk around as stakers will have to worry about which person to spam and how to get a hands off.
