You were one of the quickest movers I ever encountered and you often had nofollow on. I lurked in your shadows as much as I possibly could to try and "apply my craft" but you often moved too quickly. It was only certain times when you stopped to try and summon someone or were with another that I was able to pick your things. And for the most part it was never good enough for me to just STEAL something I wanted to counterfeit too. To me that was success. Not just getting what I wanted, but to also complete the deception. Later on when I started realizing that whenever someone found a counterfeit item they immediately pointed a finger at me I changed my tactics and was more straightforward i.e jack and steal just so they might think it was a thief with less finesse. That was the reason for me trying to jack you on eastern..imagine my surprise. heh

BTW about 50% of my prizes at my riddle contest were from you and that elf bard (the name escapes me at the moment). I know I made a truce with the fortress but you guys werent doing enough about my imperial problems so I decided to break it. You guys dallied on the the eastern road for far far too long.
