I think that I need to take a break. I have a somewhat addictive personality, and when I play a character I really PLAY the character. I'm getting my degree in a week, and then I will be starting medical school in the fall, so this is my last free summer ever. I really want to do more than just mud my summer away. (I did it once. Don't laugh.)

Malniek was a break from my usual goodie fest. I really wanted to develop his role more, but he really just turned into a PK character with a little scion action on the side. All in all, he was fun to play, and my first successful assassin. I only got one assassinate, but I think I figured out the system rather well. I could have had more if I was patient.

Goodbyes go out to Ahrenz, Krundig, and Nately. Nately, stop dying damnit. Yutoza, I want to say goodbye, but I honestly found you rather annoying...you need to be more evil with your evil characters. I found myself sitting hidden stalking you sometimes, just thinking about hitting the assassinate button. Cabdru, you kick ass.

Eshval, you were cool, and as I said, I really wanted to develop my role a lot more, but it didn't happen. If I would have, it would have involved you to a large degree. Thanks for induction/other goodness.

And as always, thanks to all the imms. Best game I've ever played. If you ask me, perhaps a little too good. I look at logs where I played seven hours straight and sigh.

On a side note, I prayed with this character about tigerclaw and shield of flames. The imm said that there was in fact a chance to land the tigerclaw through the shield, but I would like to respectfully disagree. On a character without shield of flames, I would say it landed perhaps one out of three times on average. I had to have tigerclawed an invoker shield of flames up at least twenty times, and it never landed. I always took the scorch damage, and then I 'missed' the tigerclaw. As a question to somebody in the know, perhaps Neppy, am I right? Can you never land a tigerclaw through shield of flames? Or is the chance to land it drastically reduced? If you have no chance, perhaps you could change the message, as I was thoroughly confused and kept trying it.

Well that about does it. If you want to say something, I will reply.
