Emotions aside, I understand villagers are good for the mud, because they always stir up some fighting and they don't create a bad swing even when they dominate -- because they aren't allowed to gang. But I just can't help hating them so much. I often go out of my way to kill them, humiliate them, make fun of their dogma, etc. That's just how the cookie crumbles. Maybe I should start playing mages more often.

Arethousa: Knickersvirf! You were the first to feel the orangutan fist when I just got it at level 43. I was so happy for you! Thanks for all the scraps.
Quote for you: "Despair not! I shall inspire you by charging blindly on!" (Minsc, before going berserk; Baldur's Gate)

Urgandtol: I so loved terrorizing poor hapless villagers that sportsmanship usually went out the window. You took it well, in every sense of the phrase.
Quote for you: "You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war." (Napoleon Bonaparte)

Bhelgus: Loved the scraps. Hated eyejab. Nice escape in the Underdark.
Quote for you: "Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me -- I quit.'" (Bill Maher)

Lararani: Blessed +5 Cojones of Steel. If I were you I'd probably... ah hell, I could never be a villager. Who the hell came up with this "hate of magic" idea, anyway!
Quote for you: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." (George S. Patton)

Iilliia -- I'll just say two things:
1) I have never raided the Village, so threatening to attack the Inn for killing you was disproportionate.
2) Calling me bloodthirsty was spot on, BUT you shouldn't expect ANY mage to leave you alone, not even a total goody-acolytey type.
Quote for you: "I don't know what you were expecting, but as a sword I'm pretty one-dimensional in what I want. (Lilarcor the talking sword, Baldur's Gate 2)

Varaez -- You arrogant arsehole. Should be thankful to me for performing your duties for so long while you were absent :)
Quote for you: "Don't get mad, get even" (Proverb)

Buoncuoi -- I gave you some mild taunting but it was more out of boredom than any real disliking. Catching you in that tightspace under the docks was hilarious. Good thing I had the sense to prep to the teeth.
Quote for you: "Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards." (Tacitus)

Varnon -- A fellow warmonger is always welcome, though starting fights in the Inn was Kowelu's Berserk Button (TM). Best of luck drowning elves in MAGMA!
Quote for you: "Welcome to ####ing Boatmurdered! Hope you like miasma!" (Epigraph to Boatmurdered Saga)

Zigurafet -- Urgandtol copycat! And you did copy all of his better qualities, too, including the healthy attitude :)
Quote for you: "If you can't make it good, at least make it look good." (Bill Gates)

Lyra -- I would be disappointed to learn your last name wasn't Heartstrings. Ahaha, JK. Seriously lucky that scouts were such a rarity in the village during my time. I just had not the hitpoints to deal with critical hit, and that's with felar con.
Quote for you: "If an advisor says to me 'My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?', I will reply 'This.' and kill the advisor." (#46 of Evil Overlord List by Peter Anspach)

Tiissana -- You did well too, although not as overpoweringly well as Lyra. I was thinking of ways to make you trip on your bloodthirst, or gang you down, but there usually was someone easier to prey on, so I didn't give it too much thought. You seemed very surly. I like to cheer people up, but not when the only way to do it is to die by their hand.
Quote for you: "Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." (Elbert Hubbard)
