And yes, it's an actual deployment. Apparently there's terrorists here, too. Who knew?

It used to be that's where Muslims went to get their jihad on. Wasn't all that long ago some Americans were kidnapped and held for ransom there.

Alright, just checking.

What an awesome random pick, great char man :) I was watching waiting for the Captaination, shame your link is teh suck :( Hurry back now :)

Thanks for all the gear. I was surprised I was able to hold on to most of it for as long as I did.

Yeah.. the link was probably what killed this char more than anything else. But the next couple months are gonna be pretty hectic (returning from a deployment, travelling back home), so I wouldn't have been able to be a leader anyhow (not that I thought it was likely.. there were some solid Maran in the Fort that were definitely ahead of me on the list).

I'll be back in a month or two.

Here I was, thinking I left the Fortess well stocked with Baer-pal goodness to take over where I left off. Liked what I saw, though a bit limited because it was right at the end of things. I wish things had been different and you could have taken a strong charge in after Morin went out....

Ah well. GLWYN whenever you get some good interwebs.

*** WARINING ***
*** Shameless poking of the Baer ***
PS Baer loved you more, she at least replied to your death thread...

"This quality paladin brought to you once again by your friends at Java. Proud purveyors of quality paladins. Won't you try a Java Paladin today?"

.

Baer did ask me on the forums when I was rolling up another one.

It's obviously my favorite class to play.. and it seemed like a good excuse to get back into CF. I just wish I had a more reliable link, so I could enjoy it a little more. Maybe in a month or so I'll be back with something new.

Or maybe another Pally. Who knows?

Love me some Javapal. Was just about to Maran you and considering you for fast track leadering. Oh well...next time?

This char was actually meant to be everything Llondolas was designed to be (arrogant, slightly racist and a little bit confused about how everyone and everything was so "different"). It was going awesome, until I hit hero range and just kind of got bland. I dunno why. I think next time I need to take it a little bit slower and enjoy the mid ranks a little bit more.

Baer you were awesome, like normal. My play times were kinda weird, so it was hard getting a hold of you (especially at first). I tried logging in during your play times as much as I could, but the link was even worse than normal during those hours, so it made it kind of difficult.

It was fun, but I knew I wasn't going to have any time to play after another week or so, so I figured it was better to cut out early. There's couple of solid hero's in the Fort already, so I'm sure they're in good hands.

I think we both know I'll be back before long though. I have a couple ideas for a completely different take on things that I want to try.

I recently cancelled my account with Paypal (they pissed me off.. and have the worst customer service I've ever seen).

When I get back from the deployment I might do the whole "send in a check" thing to donate to CF. But unless they come up with other options for donating, there's not much I can do for now.


I'm not sure there'll be much of interest there. I did pretty ####ty in PK (although I had an epic fight or two with Tavlin). There's probably a few Imm comments about how I manage to make more enemies in Fort than I did with all the enemy cabals. Besides that though, I don't think I made much of an impact.

Not to critique it, just to check it out

Would you mind PMing it to me if you get a chance? I tend to check Dio's more if you can there.

Not sure if you noticed my post; hadn't gotten to PMing the role; or if you just didn't want to. Knowing either way would be appreciated.

I'll send it to ya on Dio's.

I can't find it saved anywhere, so I'm gonna have to dig it out of my logs. It might be a day or so.

Sure, it's Paypal handling the payment, but you don't really have to deal with it directly since you can pay the donation with your credit card. This would mean that you don't have to deal with Paypal personally and do not need a Paypal account to donate.

I'm not saying that you have to donate, just pointing out that the option exists.

...my comment was mostly directed at your ability to play quality Paladins than any (real or perceived - I've never really made note of it) dearth of other classes in your repertoire.

I just want to say, all of that #### in the beginning was entirely IC, and player-to-player, I loved Vhenylos. I really appreciated the sub-hostile interaction, as well, because it gave me the chance to really flesh out how Caerdryn felt about what had happened with Baerinika and what it had done to his psyche.

You were quite obviously a more skilled player than I am, so I look forward to seeing your next when you are through with your real-world business, and learning what I can from that character as well.

See you around.

Vhenylos was intended to have a kind of holier-than-thou personality. Born into royalty, decides its his duty to help the inferior races of Thera, and so on.

I was glad for the opportunity to have some conflicts with you, and also with Baylin. It helped turn the personality from an idea into something I could actually play.

It was kinda bummed that I didn't have any chances later on in life. But the character kinda lost steam somewhere along the line.

Good character though, OOC I liked ya, even if you're not a true Paladin.

Vhenylos DID come off as that holier than thou early on, but
I'm wondering why it never got directed at me during a couple
of early talks? Or at least didn't seem to be directed at me.
Not that I mind! :) I was just all prepared to do my anti-racism
speil and never got my shot at it. Hahaha. Just curious I guess.
I never had any trouble with Vhen on a personal level, and as a
player I totally dug him.

That was entirely due to a lack of attention to detail on my part as a player.

I didn't realize you were Half-Drow until like our fourth or fifth interaction, and by then I thought it would be awkward. I was upset at myself though.. talk about a missed opportunity. How awesome would it be to call the Cardinal "Drow" and start that whole mess?

I did have other plans though. I was fully intending on explaining to you how you were a failure as a Paladin. Sadly, the opportunity never came up IC. Vhenylos thought anyone who didn't follow the Baer-version of the Paladin Code was corrupting it and thus not a true Paladin (had a long talk with Caerdryn about just that.. and he totally threw you and Thevara under the bus).

It was fun running with you those few times though. Wish we coulda had some deeper interactions.

I was already under the bus at that point, from Vhenylos' perspective at least, so it was more like me dragging them under the bus with me as a sort of vindication that the area under the bus was not as bad as it was being made out to be.


... but yeah, I totally dragged them into the conversation.

Yeah man, we totally vindicate you. No sweat, it's nice under the bus
You have any idea how hard it is to vault or assassinate someone when
they are under a bus?!?! Under the bus is AWESOME. :)

Would have made for some interesting talks I agree.
:) especially with the way Angynn 'argues' Hrm, actually
it would have made for some really funny conversation...
from the players end, the characters would be all serious,
but I'd sure have been laughing and since you turned out to
be java I'm pretty sure you'd have gotten a kick out of it too.

Here I am half way through my talk with Angynn (sounds like a dwarf name to me) talking about how it sucks being a half-drow when I realise he too is a half-drow.

Anyway, I like Vhenylos too. Just don't call my angry characters Drow.

It sucked when you deleted. Despite the forced "peace" that we kinda made, I knew the issues were gonna keep coming up.

I was absolutely gonna "slip" and call you a Drow again. Vhenylos really didn't like half-breeds. Especially the Drow ones. Sorry.

I always try to play my Maran on the edge. There's so much detail in game about Maran walking the fine line, yet you rarely ever see it. In Baylin's case it was mostly his temper and bloodlust that came with it.

If you had called Baylin a Drow to his face I'd have probably attacked you, not a full blown pincer, but maybe a nice overhead. Would have certainly made thing interesting.

Yeah man that was hilarious, you going on about being a poor
mistreated half-drow and how no one understands or something
and here I am thinking what the hell? Doesn't anyone use WHO?
I as the player and Angynn as the character both just found it
a bit amusing, and neither took offense. Wow that was a wierd
statement. :) I get it alot though, I wasn't thinking about
how 'dwarfy' the name sounded when I picked it. It has made for
some fun conversation though. Hahaha.

This was a good, quality character from what I could tell. You gave a refreshing interview.

I laughed when you suggested we do the interview in Imperial lands. But I knew every time Sivyh was online he wanted a chance to kill me (he pretty much told me as much), and I had no idea if he was around at the time.. so I figured safety first. Getting assassinated mid-interview would look pretty bad on my part.

I was impressed though, all around. There's a couple of solid guys coming up in the Fort.
