So where do I start.

Yet another Empire. The main driving force behind this was after playing Jhelruk, I actually wanted to get through Empire without being made Anathema. SUCCESS! But I did get demoted so who knows at some stage I will have to rectify that issue.

At one point Varric wasn't going to be, because I got ROTD for having two pieces of gear from a mob that Jhelruk killed. I deleted on the spot after being slayed, but then a day later I was thinking "MEH black mark or not, it really doesn't change much, and actually I could take this role angle." To the IMM that slayed me, the whole instance actually gave me the kick in the pants to put together a role, and that role went to win an RC so ... I guess ... THANKS! I do have some minor regrets on my role, and there are things which I wish I entered on the spot rather than thinking "Oh ... Ill sort this out later." because particularly near the end 640+ hrs a few things happened that had me somewhat stunned.

Immortals:
Thanks for all the effort upstairs, it is appreciated.

Emnon:
Cheers for the tattoo, still thinking back to how I got it, there is still a level of shock. I could never figure out how to use part of it, likely because I was to busy flurrying! My first Imm tattooed character (Since my return, my last was a Dragon Tooth), for some reason this has always been a hurdle and in general imm interaction, sometimes I just get distra ... Oh look a butterfly!

I wont mention to many names, as there are far to many.

Empire:
There were two main goals I had for this character (One of them a role regret) and that was.
1. Not anathemaing anyone, well it happened to one person. Player to Player I am sorry, and we spoke a bit last time we met. You know my IC thoughts, maybe try run with it. When I see you on the graveyard (hopefully of old age), I will explain things better.
2. After being Anathema by Glikhardiz as Jhelruk, I thought it was time that someone actually gave a crap about:
Law 3: Anathema are to be hunted and slain at all times.
Because the whole time I played Jhelruk, I was just left wondering why is Glik still Emperor, he has made countless people Anathema, but they certainly do not hunt them "At all times", and infact heavily avoided confrontation.
Hemeth, you got hit pretty hard with this, and Tribunal in general. I certainly would have kept going as well, it was actually a good opportunity to figure out just how many "Criminal" options there are for certain things out there.
Outside of my goals.

Outside of my two goals, cheers for the good times, and thanks for the chance to be Emperor. Unfortunately short lived, I was hoping that I would have taken the seat from Ediije, when I sent a note to the current council, and Immortals stating in no uncertain terms that I was challenging the Throne around the 530 hr mark. I still don't understand why this fell on deaf ears, there was an Emperor who was not showing up, and a valid candidate, and at that stage all seats occupied except for Shadow Sect. If the reason was the council was not full, well that makes it kind of easy to remain Emperor completely unchallenged, so this might need to be reviewed. But either way it happened eventually.

Varric was a tough SOB! I realized this around the middle of my time when the village, outlander, entropy, fort and tribunal. All came to the lands for a good old fashioned beat down! The build concept was very simple and certainly something that could be repeated, except for perhaps a few little secrets I am going to guard close to my chest.
Sword/Mace (Mace of which I used very occasionally)
Ward/Cry

I could completely end raids just by logging in, and I could end retrievals just by standing near the palace. It got to the point where I had a level of comfort walking away from my laptop rather than hold concern for a raid/retrieval.

Fort:
Naevar, I enjoyed the one on one fights, you got me a few times, because you were willing to take that risk and go for glory. I respect this play style and found it refreshing.
Arsaiya, I will say the same of you, you went for gold you won some you lost some. Enjoyed the fights.
Unfortunately nearly all the rest I cant say the same. Some particularly bad moments:
- Allowing an enemy to sleep in your cabal rather than defend, there were a number of times when I was around the 200hp mark, and could just sleep away til my heart was content. I know you were close because I saw you recall from the Watcher when I attacked the Maran.
- Raiding getting the Codex and placing it, only to stay at the Watcher when I come for it 10-15 seconds after it has been placed
- There were times I expected a retrieval, being just me on, 3 fort in range, but instead either nothing would happen, or eventually a lowbie would be sent.
- The game is alive an vibrant when gear changes hands, people take some risks, and people actually play to their role and the cabal ideals. Rather than waiting for the 4-5 man gankdown show in quicksand.
- Having said all of this tho, I learnt alot with Varric, particularly just how much of a beating I could handle and just how far I could push some things.
- I have some specific things to say but I will save them given the characters are still active.

Battle:
I had alot of respect for you guys, but I certainly had the number on most of you. Having said this alot of you kept coming, it was alot of fun and some of my more memorable fights were against villagers.

Entropy:
I dont have much to say here, I hope some of the Cabal Power related issues get fixed soon.

Outlander:
Tebor, I could never pin you down long enough, slippery bugger.
Rizdyn, the same I had you on the ropes and then you would evade, or my parting blow would miss.
The rest, well those two are a tough act to follow.

Scarab:
Gilador, I could never quite pin you down either, got close a couple of times, enjoyed all the fights.

Tribunal:
Ilyana, you are quite the curious character, looking forward to reading your PBF, seem to have an interesting slant on things.

For now, it will be a small break from CF in regards to doing anything serious. Somewhere I'll me lurking in the background getting ready to unleash something hopefully far scarier than Varric.
