I was a fan....




Right up until you tried to point out that the Rites were fixed. You were a very strong character. Some moments of immaturity seemed to come through at times but I'll chalk that up to some frustration.


Good luck with the next.

That's just Kanye my man. It's Rettinger's fatal flaw :) He's good 95% of the time, but that other 5%.......

This is surreal to me because I was just about to post that I thought Zarkyem was pretty cool precisely 95% of the time and the other 5% of the time the bad side of the player bled through.

If you could learn to keep your mouth shut when you're pissed off I think you'd consistently rate among the greats of the game.
112417, I think it's a curse a lot of people have.

One of the things I've tried to get better at, myself, is post-death RP. Sometimes, you just have to understand that saying NOTHING might be better than saying something emotional in the heat of the moment.

Kanye isn't the only person with this problem, by the way. There are several players that could be "epic" if they were able to focus on cutting out the 5% of the negative times. It's not always post-death (for some it's staying IC when talking about things like legacies and gear, for some it's RP with enemies, for some it's post-kill poor sportsmanship, for some it's not logging out when things get bad, for some it's competing without an optimal set of gear, et cetera) but it's a shame when you think a character is totally awesome and they ruin it with one bad moment.

I know that sometimes i let cf and the griefers get the better of me. However compared to my temper and legendary status of ooc ranting. I think i'm doing a solid job these days.

Yeah, that's absolutely true.

I think you can still do better!

Entertaining guy to watch. Probably a good enemy to have had.

Happy holidays

Kanye, your characters would be infinitely better if you could refrain from posting logs anc commentary while active. That being said, I thought Zarkyem was a well-played character. Good luck on your next.

Go Pens (if we ever see hockey again)
112399, Why'd you bring up hockey :(

Bleh.

Kevin, my dude! I actually rolled Zarkyem to be one of your follwers then around level 10 ysal came back and my role and basis of the char worked for her and i had always heard great stuff about her rp and wanted to give it a shot.

I am determined to get your tattoo one day!

I've given up on an NHL season this year but in the offhand event one occurs you need to join us in Jhyrbs fantasy league.

I am disappointed we didn't get to see Crosby/Malkin finishn1/2 in scoring anf James Neal bang 50 this year.

The one fight I had with you I ws counting on a tribby to jump in he was on duty and in the same town so I stuck it out longer than I would have normally. :) It was a poor choice I'm guessing you had landslide? In any case it was a good fight and you beat me into the dirt, but it was kind of fun and got my blood pumping IRL. Best of luck with your next.
