I'm not sure what does it have to do with quitting because

You aren't forced to come and defend. How ever qutting in this case sure lame and break CF rules.

As Mizfara you didn't mind of coming and attacking centurions/vanquisher in order to make me come there.


>Now, a lot of my Sulye kills were pretty "no-win" for the people I was fighting.

"no-win" does not mean "no chances to survive" actualy you have a lot of chances to survive encounter with AP unless he has a lot of charges.

For example you never fought with Ahtieli because you though it's "no-win" situation but you fought a lot with people who had HIGHER chances to kill you than me. I'm not saying it's bad though.

Sure you had to go somewhere.. because it gave you a lot of advantages rather than fighting before someone's cabal. Nor you could attack a lot of cabals anyway.

Also you were a stealth class. Probably you should try to do it as non-stealth class against enemy who just quit/teleport whenever he sees you. I'm quite sure you won't be minding of using "global summon" after some time spending without getting a fight at all.

Are you sure it was that way? All that about him coming and all :)
