This kinda caught me by surprise. Figured I had another ~50 hours left. But I can't say it wasn't entirely unwelcome.

Ageryn started out as a character named Shouwuon just before the purge happened. Same role, build, etc. Shouwuon was supposed to be an improved version of Kasir with more intelligently allocated thief points. Also I kind of wanted to check out thug skills. As Kasir, lots of times I would think to myself, "Man, if I only had parting block and third attack I'd have killed that guy." The flip side is that with Ageryn I often thought, "Man, if I only had tie and truss I'd have killed that guy". Can't have it all though.

On paper I guess I was fairly successful, but the nature of the build is such that you end up killing lots of folks who just aren't that threatening to begin with. If you were sufficiently buff there was just no way I could hang with you, even with the scrolls and progged gear. The other thing I did pretty poorly was manage risk. There were lots of fights I entered that, were I to step back and look at it objectively, I should never, ever have entered. Every once in a while this worked to my favor, but most of the time I just died stupidly.

Some shout outs:

Eylar: Good luck! You were always conscientious about taking enemy cabal items. Much more so than I was. Good on you for keeping me honest.

Ghrajjek: You have an awesome attitude and very consistent role-play. Keep up the good work. Though, a prep here and there wouldn't hurt.

Nnaeshuk: You were great to have around, both as a mortal captain and as a fort imm.

Aillianir: Thanks for all that gold!

Empire Bards: Sorry!

Adekar: Thanks for indulging me w/ the sister thing. Was hoping to develop that more, but it never really happened. Maybe next time.

Eye: Thanks! Sorry you got busy; hope it works out.

Daevryn: Punk. I am so not the "ruttiest player ever".

Staff in general: Thanks again!
