No offense, but with the way you admit several times in this thread (and I congratulate you on that honesty, actually) that you weren't really interested in RP and were more of a numbers guy -- can you understand why you might not be picked for Chancellor?

That's just an aside. Now, for the point I really wanted to make.

I'm commenting in response to these two excerpts:

>Sabrian- Jack, steal, run. Not necessarily in that order.

This is an interesting statement to me about how differently we can perceive things depending on if they're our actions or another's. I saw a good number of Aginal's fights. I've also seen a pretty good number of Drahk's and Sabrian's fights (but I'll be less specific in their cases, since last I checked those characters both still exist).

The thing that was usually going through my head watching Aginal fight was: This dude sure ##### loves pebble.

Now, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. If you want to keep spamming pebble to boulder in situations where even something like icicle or wall of fire would have been a smarter move, hey, it's your birthday. It obviously was working for you, so, more power to you.

That's not to say I certainly didn't see a fair share of fights where you brought other spells, either. However, from my semi-omniscient-slash-objective point of view, Aginal's tactics swung more heavily on pebble and geyser than Sabrian's did on jacking and stealing or Drahk's did on pincer and cranial. . . and both of their classes offer them significantly less strategic range in many ways than yours did.

This is probably where Shokai would say something like: When you point a finger at someone, three point back at you.
