I was a huge Ravon snooper; I don't think there was a time when you and I were both on where I didn't snoop you for at least a little bit (unless you were in ST or Hell, in which case I bowed out pretty quick). Your fights were just a lot of fun to watch; you were skilled, smart and were ballsy, which is a great combination for PK.

Your RP was, to me, meh. It really felt to me like you were mostly about PK as a means to garner the power to explore. Not that you were a *bad* RPer by any means, you just didn't seem to ever really spark. It almost felt like your heart wasn't into it. And while I'm cool with that (hey, do what you like to do!), I just couldn't ever really justify throwing XP at you for anything other than PK related activities. And once you built the charges up, I couldn't even justify doing that, since you were too powerful to ever really have the opportunity to do anything unique or interesting in your fights.

It would have looked like this: "Kastellyn has added 500 XP for: Ravon killed another group of three while raiding Empire. Second time today. Le yawn."

So it's not that the Imms didn't *like* you, it's just that it was hard to find standout things to reward you for (the bad-assery and subsequent PKness bringing their own set of rewards).

As for lashes, not sure how they tweaked it, but it was just sick at high charges, and that was never the intent. I don't think anyone ever envisioned a 400+ charge whip wielding AP.

And I, for one, don't give a crap if people thought you were too conservative! You played how you wanted to play to achieve your goals, and you were successful as hell in doing so. I think anyone who has played an AP to Hero knows this. There were more than a few times when I (as Khar) regretted very, very, very much not being just a tad more conservative.

Overall, I thought you did a great job of rolling up a highly effective, extremely challenging, non-standard AP. You proved that both dark-elf and whips are viable options, and you played a character that had a very powerful (and very positive, IMHO) impact on the game.

Good luck winning mad cash on the poker circuit, and I hope you get the CF bug again (and the time) to throw another character into the mix.
