Goodbyes are always the hardest thing to write, but I must say they are really one of the things I look foreward to in a character. I will say that I had every intention of age/con dying Shisi when I was playing him regularly, but I really hit a brick wall quite unexpectedly, and I'm unable to fufill that particular commitment. Alas, volumes could be written on the reasons we all quit, but screw it, I don't have the time.

This was only my second invoker, and the class is quite awesome. I chose my affinities in Lightning and Air, with an above average in fire, and the rest below average. This of course meant more work for me, seeing as those paths have the LEAST amount of spells to shielding. Role was more important in that decision, but I did predict that I wouldn't have all those spells spammed for a long time, if ever, especially since I was going Fortress. This of course resulted in the lack of quicksand for a very long time, and without quicksand it's REALLY hard to seal kills, as everyone flees after they get unspeaked once, and I don't blame them.

Fortress...Fortress is always fun. I've done other cabals, but Fortress really has the kinship and the most sense of collective desire to have fun(even if we need to work on our coherence in battle ). Maranination was something I really didn't expect, but after I reasoned out the need, it wasn't a far stretch of the imagination to see a leader title with time. The timing however, was bad, but unforseeable is unforseeable, and believe you me I lost a lot of sleep, CON, and shinies getting to that spot, so I was pretty dissapointed when my time dropped drastically. I won't get into the powers and stuff, but as an Arial mage there really wasn't a HUGE benefit to them...except one of them, but we won't get into that.

K, goobyes now....
Shokai- Didn't see you around much(doesn't mean a thing), but thank you for going the extra mile and finally putting a mage in charge! Heh, I was very glad for the oppurtunity to finally get a leader character, and out of respect for that faith and the cabal I tried to stick around as long as I could. I profusely apologize for not being all I could be, but when you gotta go you gotta go.

Fortress-

Elsworth- Really man, playing at those times really hurt me, and finally to get into Fortress I told myself I would stay online until you showed up, and finally...finally you did. Thanks for the induction, though you seemed kinda desperate for an invoker at the time....

Kelin- Man, that interview was rough, playing with semantics and someone's poor, poor memory. I also don't work well under stress(and belive me that sucks when you have 40 spells at your hands and freeze up for a round with something unexpected happens). Anyway, once I was in whenever you were around was quite the good time. Another hero, and a Maran at that, to hang about with, 'specially since Scion hero squad was strong at this point. Good times, good times...and those doom needles just wouldn't go up until i finally just gave up on them and went to slaughter the archmage in my rage.

Agaeobab- Favoritest of favorites, I like the characters you play, I just do. Agaeobab in particular was fun to be around, because you were very Maranish and outgoing, purging this or purging that. You were also very dwarvish, drinking this and drinking that. Thanks for supplying me with the curses with which I could define my loathing of deafen, and I hoped you liked being Maran, as I remember as Gaf you really deserving it with Scharnz as well.

Naref- I have three words to say to you. HERO @#%$ YOU! Seriously...and congrats on Captain, hopefully you are doing a better job(and showing up more) than I am.

Wungar- You went so long out of the Fort, and for that I apologize, that's why it was my pleasure to make sure you got in as one of my first leader duties. Congrats on Maranination so soon, but with all your psychoness it wasn't too unbelievable. Yeah, we coulda torn some people up, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Urjun- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! All those times you dragged me off to train finally ensured that I got quicksand, which was a godsend. Thanks for that, and getting my stuff back from Teranoth that once, even though you didn't mean to. Fun character and such.

People that didn't like me-

Dralkoz- I didn't see the point in fighting you till I got shield of slime, since dagger/whip sucks much to fight as an invoker. That duel we had once was fun, though I was called off to Scions, so oh well.

Veulios- Deafen...sucks...a lot.

Restraal- Some fun but pointless fights with you, my favorite being when you were with that tribunal and his friend...my absolute worst hatred concerning you is you never wore any stone shinies! WHY?! Curse your intelligence!

Muuloc- Rot...well, rot used to stink...then I got a full set of con gear and my con didn't even lower by one. Then they revamped Rot, and then I really didn't worry too much about fighting you. Energy drain could still be annoying though. Mmm, can't think of any fights in particular, as the funnest were the defenses I put up against you and others.

Dreaa- Those hits and scratches start to add up when you can't damage the a/b/s'd lemur...pchaw

Izuaki- Thanks for not rotting, too much. Fighting duergs with shroud...using only magic...well...yeah...to much redux...again, lucky i didn't have quicksand!

The rest of you, post and I'll reply, took a lot of people to make this character playable, so I'm off, toodles.
