At 4 o'clock AM, Day of the Bull, 8th of the Month of the Dark Shades
on the Theran calendar Sayra perished, never to return.

Sayra was great. Really enjoyed every interaction with her. Great job!

you really screwed over Vae with your lies and that warrant. expected more from you for some reason.

1) I never lied. 2) I'm not good, nor lawful, sphere vanity. 3) Not sure how that character got screwed since they became Justicar and later leader, so yeah. 4) Learn to RP out of the situation instead of trying to game the situation.

You were robbed on East Sumner's Road then you ran to Galadon, reported the crime and got the thief flagged.

Only one person GAMING the SITUATION bub. Left a real bad taste in my mouth for this herald bard.

..is the Trib that placed that flag. Trib policy/RP/every cabal stance ever says not to place a flag you aren't 100% sure about.

It sounds like you're pulling some sort of jalim and stealing from people all over the place and logging out. People will actively try to #### you when you do this and you should probably understand that's a part of the process to playing a thief that actively steals. I'm not sure why you'd come complain about it. People see theft in CF as OOC trolling even though its the same as bash/looting someone minus the bash/death. Just save the OOC tells and experiences and save them for when you're gone, they are hilarious to look back on. As Agilus I had some great gems of some prominent 'rp' players breaking role because they lost a shiny thing. Just don't break role yourself and keep it moving, its fun either way.

All the world's a stage, Its men and women merely players.

Sayra was my first character in over four years (or whenever the Menagerie characters was done). I came back to CF b/c of Discord. I didn't really have anyone to talk about CF stuff with which made it not as fun to play. So Discord helped fill that gap. Sayra herself was meant to be a throwaway character, to get me back into the grove of remembering where everything was and maybe learning a few things. Throughout my course of playing, I made sure to keep a low key on my actual knowledge and tried to give off an air of newbiness.

Sayra was True Neutral. One of her main goals was to be everyone's friend and if not, send her multitude of friends after you or use her talents against you. I never sought to engage in PK and the only person I ever attacked was Lyiene when he was attacking Sel in my 490+ hours. I think I had like 5 PK deaths or something, the first one by Lyiene at 150 hours played.

I also tried to stay neutral in cabal affairs and I was willing to help others in non-cabal matters b/c Sayra like to adventure (and I didn't want to be totally bored). Sayra did not view people as evil or good perse (I mean I knew who was good/evil) so much as view people individually and how they treated her or what they could do for her.

Sayra was sphere Vanity. I tried to play that up, often claiming to be the most beautiful person in Thera at times, and at others the Shinning Star of Thera. I also spent a lot of time playing towards each person's personality. If you were good, I acted more good towards you, evil more dark, hated magic, yep magic sucks, etc. Sayra took great pride in being probably the sole person in Thera that pretty much every leader confided into.

Sayra also made sure she generally dressed in pretty things. She only wore gowns and dresses (I had to wear a tattered slave robe once and that disgusted her), so I opted out of a LOT of gear that could have been clearly better.

The reason for my deletion are three reasons. 1) I was kinda getting bored. Its rough being a Herald when not always having someone to RP with (I generally played at 12am-3am EST, See Bero's hours). 2) I don't want to hold a leader spot as an Imm 3) I want to focus on my Imm duties.

Goodbyes - Immortals First

Morius - I never prayed to you, b/c, you know sphere Vanity and all. Not to mention, our hours did not mesh well. The few interactions were great though. Thanks!

Daph - Thank you for letting me be High Herald. I just wish I could have found some more Heralds to join. I felt like you often looked after me and thank you for the chats!

Rahs - The couple of interactions were solid. Gave me a reason to flesh out some more backstory with Sayra. Thanks!

Heralds
Sel - Sel, Sel, Sel. We spent a ton of time with each other. I watched you change and evolve, but I feel more right saying I influenced you more than you influenced me. We had some good times, but towards then end, I don't know if that was Sel or you that was getting on crotchety, which made it less fun for me to be around you. Either way, thanks for the good times.

And that is pretty much it for Heralds. Mizor wasn't bad, but I didn't get into interact with him much b/c my crappy play times. Wish I could have got more involved in that quest, but those involved had a knack to push other players away. In the future (this applies to anyone) its better to bring people in. It will make the experience in most cases better.

Outlander
Cex - I really loved our interactions. Your emotes really forced me to up my game some and that is great thing. I solid RPer always. Good luck with the rest of your days!

Most Outlanders generally didn't engage with me. A few would come and talk, but most completely stayed away from the Inn, which is fair enough.

Empire
Phiyruhk/Malgren/Inaj - Probably the three I interacted with the most. I enjoyed our various conversations. I was sad to see Phiyruhk auto and had hoped there would be a good counter to the political happenings.

Fortress
Gruntner - I really hope that early conversation in your character had some influence into what you are today. It was good seeing you develop and grow into the Marshall. Good luck with that growing Imperial Threat!

Leitha - You always seemed so sad, and I did what I could to try to listen to anything you might revel. I also really enjoyed Raj.

I for one was happy to see some of the changes to Fortress. A lot of you just lived by See Red Make Dead rule. Not many of you sought to redeem evil, and the point of the Maran way back when was to redeem through cleansing fire. There were a lot of characters that simple give off a feeling of hate. That's no bueno. Though I do feel the current crop is a lot better at this now.

Battle
Sekpak/Goru - You two were my best friends. Sek, you have no idea how many people warned me about Seky, that you would kill me. They had no idea that you were indeed my friend. Even Sel told Fortress people that Sekky was good to me, maybe not everyone else, but me, for sure. And I was sad to see Goru just up and disappear.

Jumbel - You are a better RPer then you probably give yourself credit for. Thanks for helping me find that needle in a haystack!

Wotburd - Solid, though I felt you becoming more aggressive towards mages anywhere, though you still didn't openly attack them at the Eternal Star while I was around.

Entropy
Gilver - Thanks for always coming to events and participating.

Orc
Tegerek - Tegy! You are fun! I feel sad for people who haven't interacted with you besides trying to kill you. Keep on trucking!

Tribunal/Scion
Aztezul - Where to begin? You were perhaps the only person in the game that actively sought to use my talents. My real talents. However, the entire time I was helping you plot, I was also trying to encourage others to go after you before it became to late. Well they didn't listen and bam Scion. You are probably my favorite character I interacted with as Sayra. Thanks for understanding Sayra's true heart, even if you were using her, which she didn't mind if it got her to her goal as well.

I'm sure I've missed people. Close to 500 hours played over the past 6 months. Thanks to everyone who made it fun to play!

I’ve had a chance to act with you in several incarnations and in many ways and it was always great.

What I liked about Sayra was that this character was always an ENABLING presence. Always willing to explore or lend songs to various factions.

I liked Sayra over the course of several characters. Together with Sel you made it the first time I actually found the inn interesting. Always liked plots and conflicted or complex characters.

n/t

I started writing this once and stopped because I didn't have time to make it good, which it should be, but I guess something is better than nothing.

As a player I loved both how real Sayra seemed, and functionally the role you played for the Inn and as a general lynch-pin for drama. Her vanity was obvious but not simple, her personality complex enough to not be completely predictable. She was the perfect foil for C in a lot of ways, and C became a richer character because of her.

Like I alluded to, I also think it's awesome how you seemed to get yourself involved in most of the "goings on" of the world in some way, that's always seemed very high-heraldy to me, but not easy to do delicately. If I'd softened my IC stance on you and realized how plugged in you were to a few things, I think that could of opened up some fun angles, but alas.

As a character, at first Cexonza liked you but didn't really trust you(common for her), and after you booted Sel (as a player I got it, as a character C never would - I hope the anger came off as IC and not OOC), C held that against you and mostly ignored you and the Inn for like 100 hours. I like that we were working towards being friendly again, though, I had hoped to resolve that arc with us on good terms again.

But anyway, some of those early interactions were highlights of C's life and you were integral to fleshing the character out in some ways. All around great character from my viewpoint, even if I was catty to you IC. *rimshot*

I'd say GLWYN, but I'm pretty sure your next has canoewhack and slay and C is a prime target for said whacking, so... *berniemaciainstscared.gif*

You write good things and everybody thinks you as kissing an Imm's ass.
You write bad things and everybody thinks you did it only because you have some bad history with this Imm.

However i simply cannot ignoring writing a farewell to one of my 2 best friends.

I loved everything in Sayra. But most of all that you didn't know-it-all since your level 1. You roleplayed a green to Thera person who was slowly learning our realm. I think it was my other character who suggested you to consider joining Heralds and telling about them. In fact you roleplayed a person-who-slowly-learns-Thera so well that i also tried to show you different preps as my next characters after Sekpak. I really wanted your next characters to be more pk-oriented, a pity it's not going to happen anytime soon because you just imm-ed.

Loved every moment we spent together - both in PvE and in the Inn. You was the only reason that kept me coming to your Inn again and again for a first time after so many years in CF.

You also roleplayed a woman so well that i was WTF when you claimed the character


Don't be burnt as an Imm too fast!

You always felt so close but so far, a tease of a dance on the edge of sin while never fully embracing it.

It made Morius fond of you, but equally angry with you. I felt reluctant at a number of points where I was planning to just more forcefully steal you for my faith, but it would have horribly tainted your efforts as a Herald.

All I wanted to do was win you at that auction. Had I, I would have been far more likely to simply take you as my own, to your detriment.

It did warm my heart to hear you defend vanity to others at times, but you always sounded more like... A casual drinker than a proper faithful drunkard.

I really loved me some Sayra. Always helpful and always there with an ear for those of us willing to talk. You had a hand in several happenings throughout Thera while keeping a level of neutrality that isn't always easy to keep. You'll be missed and I hope you come back soon.
