I knew your ride was drawing to a close, and I knew I'd probably be on the road when it happened; that was the impetus for the last conversation that we had.

I won't say that you were the best Commander the Village ever had, but I will say that you were the best Commander that I have seen in the Village (taking my several military deployments into account) during my time as an Imm. You did this through a combination of presence (your "standard" log in times, and the amount of on-line time that you put into the character), inductions (never mass inducting, always keeping a quality flow of new blood into the Village), PK skill and RP (which was always consistent and always very solid). You also did this by, as Aarn said, just being a leader. There was a certain quality about this character that drew the best out of those that surrounded him, and it was noticable both from the Immortal and mortal standpoint.

I also thought you had a wonderful grasp on what it takes to become a Theran Legend. Most followers 'get it', but not as early in the game as you did, so props for that. Your name will definitely be remembered, both in the Village and throughout Thera.

I'm glad that both you and Rusenlan were in the Village at the same time. Your roles as Village bards seemed to play very nicely off of each other, and there was a period of time when I'd get a new piece of work from one of you every week. Thanks for participating in the various quests that are going on as well - you were a big part of getting the Village involved.

*heh* I had no idea you were Acaga, but that warcry is still one of my all-time favorites.

Great job! I will miss you and the Village will miss you. Once I get home, I'll put Gerylanst's last 'reward' in the game - and I'm not talking about the pillar! Ha! You'll have to play another Villager to see what it is!
