That's pretty impressive, keeping two heros going at once with very different roleplays. I have a hard time doing that... I can play one in-depth character, and one really shallow lowbie or something. Otherwise I start mixing up attitudes, and emotes, and speech patterns, and such.

Ok, now let me see if I get this right... I don't know who Borglin was, but weren't Loborguz, Alghorval, Martinian, Darmok, and Farnsworth ALL within Ulthur's lifespan? My god man. How much time do you have to mud?!

Anyway, I found Farnsworth very frustrating, both as a player and a character. I thought it was crap that Tribunal's could raid into the Fortress after criminals, but no one else was allowed to raid into the Spire. Basically it forces the player to bend over and take it, weather it fits in their characters roleplay or not. The alternative is to make Fortress people go raid the Spire, after which they all get flagged, then they all die. Frankly, it isn't fun for anyone. As a character I couldn't justify complaining about it, beyond expressing my disgust with such a hypocritcal policy, which I did to several Tribunals. If you don't see my point here, as a player, I'll try to elaborate.

You also didn't mention anything about Farnsworth's penchant for flat out lying when it served his goals. Really a good job, I think, since it fits the role of an evil Tribunal perfectly. I heard about several instances from other people, but the one I delt with specificaly was when you threatened to flag me for attacking you while you and several other Tribunals were raiding for Yaofhil. I ofcourse attacked all of you, and didn't get flagged for it. My initial reaction was to just roll my eyes in disgust, but then I realised how perfectly that fits for an evil tribunal.

We didn't have very many fights, since by the time you came around Ulthur's con was into the single-digits, which isn't very condusive to fighting shamans, and I was also beginning to roleplay being old. That last time I was trying to die to you. I'm still very bummed that my plan was foiled. If you want to email me, I'll tell you about my plan. It would have been good. If it had worked. Oh well.

Bloody shackles. Ouch. If the bosses say they're not too powerful, then it must be so. :P
