At 3 o'clock PM, Day of the Great Gods, 33rd of the Month of the Shadows
on the Theran calendar Trabbi perished, never to return.

Race:	gnome
Class:	druid
Level:	46
Alignment:	Neutral
Ethos:	Chaotic
Cabal:	OUTLANDER, the Outlanders of Thar-Eris
Age:	140
Hours:	95

I definitely regretted being a gnome, but that was the only thing. I had a lot of fun with Trabbi. HOnestly, it has been weeks since I've been able to play much and things seemed to change a lot as far as enemies and allies were concerned. I'll keep the goodbyes brief and respond if necessary.

It was nice to win a role contest again and the prizes were certainly cool. Getting ignite was fun as it definitely fit my backstory. Fast Chameleon was cool too. I can't remember what else there was.

Avram - Thank for giving me a shot. You were fun and easy to work with...not easy like things weren't a challenge, but just enough of one that it was cool and not burdensome trying to get empowered. I think that is what often makes empowerment so annoying to people. You rocked and I hope I did justice to the ideas.

Ruk - You were a strong foe.

Anyway, thanks to everyone and hopefully in a few months I'll have some time and the drive to play again. I moved from Portland Oregon where my job was good but extremely boring. Living in the Chicago area now and my job here is keeping me doing 10 to 12 hour days. Not really what I want for hours, but the challenge is much better. I used to be able to play from work...that ain't happening anymore. :) Anyway, see yall around.

I liked Trabbi. I felt bad on our first interaction since I only had a tiny bit of time but saw you needed some juice so I did something quick to at least get you on your way. I know how much it sucks as you level up and having to wait for the empowerment part.

You really grew unto your own and you were fun to watch as you did the Outlander thing. I remember chatting with folks and thinking you might be a good Harbinger candidate, but that was right when RL must've spiked for you since you kinda fell off the map.

Either way, good choice coming to Chicago. Great city, best pizza on the planet and Derrick Rose is priming to tear it up in the NBA this year. Hope you like it there. :)

Hey, I don't mind short and sweet interactions at all. I'm just very glad that you are back and active..we needed a presence like you in the game. Chicago is my favorite large city...and has been for a long time. Probably the fact that this was the first place I visited the cheesecake factory. Anyway...my brother has lived in the Rock Falls area of Illinois for like 15 years so moving here was basically al about moving closer to family. Not sure about the Bulls...as I'm a Detroit fan all the way (though to be honest I could care less about the NBA). My office is full of Tigers, Spartans, and Red Wings stuff...and I'm getting some "love" for that. Anyway, thanks for everything.

Chicago pizza is good, but pales in comparison to good NY pizza. Sorry.

Let's not say things you'll regret when you sober up. :)

... as long as you throw me some edges and a 4th legacy

Being from NY, and having visited Chicago and "sampled the best pizza"...NY pizza takes the gold.

How is that in any way behind corn dog? and bull testicles... Seriously. :P

Mmmm, Bratwurst with chipotle mustard and onions is amazing.

Except without the onions. Yuck-o.

Because this is probably the most important discussion on the forums this year.

First off, NY pizza and Chicago pizza are apples and oranges. Just because they are both called pizza doesn't mean they are comparable. If you compare NY deep dish to Chicago deep dish, Chicago wins. If you go thin crust, NY wins. C'mon people.

Bratwurst should always be eaten with onions, sorry Raybaerz.

Further... if one wants to explore bratwurst in Chicago, and indeed all types of encased meats, one goes to Hot Doug's on North California. It is, perhaps, my favorite place on earth.

See you next year,
Stunna

I like me some wet italian beef sandwich.

Certainly, we can agree that wet Italian beef is the boss.

I don't even *mind* Chicago-style deep dish pizza, but my preference is for NY-style 99% of the time.

I have to give you credit for being so ballsy and effective even with that glaring gnome vuln. Good luck in your new city.

When all the druids started attacking you. Man..I wanted that so bad. I think I knew that was my only real chance.

On kiadana, I was trying to rank. You were a ghost. You unghosted hit me with a hunt while I fought a monk paladin and a healer and when I tried to run I hit your brambles and you walked in for the death blow.

Was a rough day for Ruk

Said Paladin complained when I attacked them after. :)

You were the next Harbinger! But, then the hours tailed off...oh well, come back when you can.

Thanks. I had a feeling I was in line, but I wasn't sure what moving would do. Well, the place I'm working at is a bigger mess than I thought it would be, so I'm working a lot...even right now from home. :) I'm very very glad that you are back.

Oh man, I kept hoping you'd ramp your play times back up. Was looking forward to more PK with you in hero range, and you definitely had Harbinger if you wanted it.

Thanks for showing me through Trothon, and running our ranking sessions.

Yeah..with my briars and such..all we needed was full moon to tear some stuff up! I had fun with you for sure. One of the things I like to do with all of my characters is show people, in character, different places and things that they might not know. Glad I could share some Trothon with you. We struggled more than I thought we would!
