I can do both. And thanks, buddy.

I felt we had a similar mentality, the whole "I'm not evil" but played in drastically different ways. Yin to my yang in many ways I thought.

Really enjoyed our time together, from the event when you were level 30's on I had a bead on you. Enjoyed the election where you were honest and... I told everyone else 'if you throw your vote away on him, and he wins...you're not going to like it'. As we discussed, pre lich, I had the impression your chances were sky high to become given the quality of the char, the tat, leader slot, etc. I was sincere in that if you died, I would happily try to slip right in to that seat, and if you didn't, you'd be powerful enough to make it worth my while not to even TRY to usurp you just for the fun of it. That said, I was also sincere that if I got the impression you were slipping an inch I would be doing my best to torpedo you. Had you kept asking my advice (the "what would you do" sort of questions) I would have taken that right to anyone who would listen in an effort to do just that. But other than that, you didn't walk that line at all, and just destroyed everyone with a casual ease that was frightening. That last one with Worthag... "Do you actually want to kill him?" accurately stated as if you were asking if you should step on a bug, and the dude is the chieftain... Five 55+ ghouls and a 51 ghoul is really really not pleasant to think about fighting also.. Among the myriad other horrible things liches do... anyway great, great great character, and I'm sad your gone. For a guy who claimed not to want the seat, you sure filled it well.

Favorite and most ironic quote of Gaspare Gnazzo:

"I am not interested in politics."

....he said as he won the election for emperor 700 hours prior...
l-o-frickin-l

Let's do this again some time, yeah? Yeah.
