As Klibendon:
I still remember getting whooped a few times when I was first coming into battle and you, more or less, said quit being a weakling. I personally didn't know much about your character at that time but it rubbed me the wrong way from the start.

I knew I'd have a tough time because I chose what I thought would be a tough build to play but may also be adept at killing mages but really, I just got pummeled early on. I didn't realize that years ago when the code was changed to allow parrying with offhand weapons, whip/flail users took such a big hit to landing attacks.

Once I learned Hand to Hand, things got much easier and a lot more fun. Gilut kept me apprised as to how I was doing in the war effort and that I eventually caught him as a MagesSlayer. The icing on the cake was finding out that I had passed you and Gilut told me a story about how you didn't have much faith that I'd keep going, early on.

While I was Klibendon, our times didn't mesh all that often but after some time, I began to get a better feel for your character and a respect for you. I'm also superbly jealous that you made it on the Pillar, I've had countless leaders and memorable villagers that never have.

As Guargoux:
I was a punching bag on land. We could eventually burn each other's hp down but neither of us could kill one another effectively, not really. I ended up with 0 damage reduction forms on land or sea, so I had to be careful fighting DB villagers. It didn't help that I didn't find my original black rod from the old system until about 4 or 500 hours, after the change went in.

But, if I caught you on water, I knew I had such a large advantage that I couldn't put up full protections or, like most villagers, you'd simply run away. And, the sea of despair is so darn small... Combat like this made for some interesting times.

My most horrible experience with you is also one of my favorite CF memories, the time when I found out how horrible nerve was on my shifter. Nerve on creatures without arms/legs, etc aims 100% at the knee or whatever strike lowers mv and I didn't realize this. I came to retrieve and was doing some hit and run tactics when I realized my mv was getting low, it was too late. The next round I went into negatives and by the end of the fight I was at -900's and shortly after you stood over my corpse.

As much as I love the Immortals, having to face you and Hexugar and Erigan and Serra.. Lord all that was horrible when in the past, I could have sworn that Sharks and Snakes couldn't be hamstrung or nerved in the knee. Adding mv lag once strength drops was like adding insult to that injury.

As Myself:
I think you did a great job as a villager and you stuck it out until the very end. That says volumes about you as a player and helped put the presence of Crraya out there for many others to enjoy. Great job and I wish you the best with whatever comes next.
