Hehe, I've seen you there doing that, and you might have seen me. I
have found that the old adage about a little honey... I rarely use
O'Kiels Radiation now, but keep it memorized. I see fighters, I cast it
on them, and make sure they see me doing it. I root their kills when
they try to run. And I get a LOT less complaints about kill-stealing,
cause the INSTANT anyone says it "to the room" about how wizards steal
kills, I jump on them, and get everyone else to back me that I've been a
decent sort. You will always get the random jerks, but you cant help
that.

Honestly - if you are dying, you would expect a fighter to help a bit.
Someone diseased? Of COURSE the cleric will cure it. So I figure there
is usually dang little us wizards have that can help other players, we
should use all we can. Make us just a BIT less hated.

I just played today, and it took about a 1/2 hr, but a guy who started
ranting, by the end was bowing and thanking me cause he realized that
even if not grouped, wizards can be a boon to an area. (saved his life
a few times, and rooted a few of his runaways, etc)
