Thanks. I did try my best to ensure that I adhered to the Island principles but like you said, I did have a different way of doing it than most. I think if I had an offensive form, things would have been different on the attacking enemies front but for several hundred hours my most powerful land form was Bobcat and I nearly managed 1 kill with it during my lifetime and someone came and nabbed the KB.

I think my biggest accomplishments were in retrieval/defense category when it comes to those kinds of things. I did my absolute best to avoid logging out without the Key, regardless of the odds.

I thought Goyaffa, if I recall correctly, would have been the #1 choice for Rhyme if you'd stuck it out, fwiw.

And, Yes, they have had some good killers. The village seems to be wising up by being able to use their no-recall area with entwine/cutoff/striking cutoff/martial trance cutoff, and that seems to be very common these days. I likely died 10 or more times to just 1 of them and dozens to similar mechanics.

I'd like to see you stick with whatever you play next, you do have some talent for the game.
