As for your rant on "The chancellors," I have a brief response:

I could tell from the start that Orinah was superficial, and a straight explore/pk character. That's fine. Roleplay isn't for everyone. Hell, it wasn't always for me. Until you've produced a character that's even halfway impressive in that respect, you have no right to criticize my roleplay. The stuff you said about Krivohan isn't true either, but I'll let him defend himself.

You also appear to believe that I care if Istendil or Zorszaul were 'scarier' than Dullameh. Istendil and Zorszaul were both exceptionally skilled players, and both scared me to death. I do the best I can, and I have fun doing it. Roll up a necromancer, Lich, lead a cabal successfully, etc. Be better than me, then rub it in my face.

That said, I'd like to offer my condolences for your bad CF day, but it's no reason to blame the "damn mace" and not Dakizar's skill, or try to hurt my feelings by comparing me to my 'predecessors' instead of seeing what I do for its own worth. I could name a lot of Duergar warriors, Fire A-Ps and human invokers that are at least thrice as skilled as you in all respects. Does it hurt your feelings? It shouldn't, but I get the impression it does.

P.S. I liked Mordan.
