I really liked Marbeliel. It was obvious you were a vet, and knew your stuff. One particular instance when I screwed up (picking up the Eagle Inscribed staff) you were very understanding, assuring me it was no big deal.

That said, I did get a vibe that you could tell who was a vet and who wasn't, and those that weren't had a much shorter rope with you. I even mentioned it to you, once - I'm sure you remember the time - via a tell, and later you said you were glad I'd pointed it out. Actually after that you seemed much more easy going with those in the Fortress that were obvious new players.

I have a hard time believing/understanding that you deleted simply because you didn't get a tattoo or whatever from Baerinika. I mean you got made a Maran (despite the brusque manner that several noticed), you were becoming a leader (which might have translated into a mortal leader spot, who knows?), and things seemed to be going well.

But when I logged in that night and you were a ghost and folks hadn't managed to grab your stuff, I knew things weren't good. Then you wouldn't answer me beyond "a lucky assassinate" I knew things were bad. Then when you quit out (with the Ebony Scepter! WTF man!?!) I was pretty sure you were done.

Honestly was it *just* because of no tat? Or did the "Fort blues" start to sink in, too?

Anyways again I liked your char, it's too bad you deleted, good luck with the next!
