Well put, Asa. You write a pretty good role yourself. :)

One of the more interesting "CF psychology" experiments is to go back and look at the criticism Zorszaul took over his time as a character. There were the people who accused him of being a one-trick pony with dopple, but eventually, people noticed that you could take the Equation, and he'd still roll over you. Then they said it was because he hung around Jafarlin a lot, and that it was the team that made them strong. Jafarlin died, and Zorszaul kept rolling. People called him a no-roleplay killing machine, but after he won the first role contest, and they saw logs of his versatility posted, they had to pipe down... again. This went on for quite some time, a new flavor every month, but always from the same voices.

My conclusion has been (for a long time, and not just because of Zorszaul) that there is a small but overly vocal fraction of our playerbase that has a great difficulty walking across the court, shaking hands, and saying "Good game" to the guy on the other team that just dunked home the winning basket.

Good game, Z.
