Decided a couple days ago that I would delete the next time I died. Today was the first time I logged on since, and it took me about 15 minutes... :)

Goodbyeish thoughts....

Mekantos: man wasn't I nice giving back your axe that I found and not touching it the second time? Glad nobody snooped me. Anyways you were pretty slippery. Fun opponent.

Gleamar: Damn dude, start hanging out in your guild. It cracked me up having to choose between being an ass and not killing mages.

Jurrintaila: Muddle is way overpowered.

To Juktar, Broghelan, Huren, Zylundak and all y'all ragers out there... you're all good people. This was probably my last rager... because with all the silly rules you have to abide, powers just ain't worth it.

To the full looters and gangbanges: eat a ####. (not that it bothered me much with this char, but point needs to be made.)

To all the people who wonder if cranial was further fubared: can't help you. deleted before i could try it out.

To all the people who is considering outcry of steel for a legacy: it kicks ass. Just like polearm spec sucks it.

To all my other friends: You know who you are. I love you all like my brothers although not quite as much. (Not mentioning names because having friends is disapproved of.)

anyways I'm locking cf in a box that I can't open until x-mas. (because i'm going to thailand to hook up with Puff now that the evil imms sitebanned him. he needs a new friend, perhaps we'll come back as a perma.)

role + Once upon a time, there was a small village populated by Minotaurs. The
role + village laid far to the northeast of Thera, isolated by the sea, a vast
role + forest and the Dale of the Damned, as the villagers called it. In this
role + village, there was a young Minotaur boy. He so fat, that none of the
role + elders could ever remember seeing a fatter man-calf. The difference
role + between Minotaurs and humans is that the beast-boys have the adults'
role + approval of tormenting the fat boy. Not a day went by when the fat boy
role + did not get beaten, stomped upon, thrown in the dung pit or forced to
role + play the part of 'human wench' in the game of procreation rites. And the
role + fat calf… well, he found his comfort in eating. An evil circle, the more
role + he ate, the fatter he got. And as he grew fatter, the bullying increased.
role + Fortunately, for him, the boy was not completely dumb, so eventually he
role + realized that something had to be done, and he left the village to find
role + himself a new home in the forest.
role +
role + For three years, he lived apart from the village, no longer eating the
role + game of the hunters, but killing his own prey. When he did not hunt, he
role + worked on his physics – lifting rocks, training his arms by lifting
role + himself up and down from a tree limb and running larger and larger
role + distances with a thick log on his shoulders, worn as a yoke. He already
role + had a decent amount of muscles when he started, grown from carrying all
role + that veal around. Slowly though, his body changed from the consistency of
role + very flabby, to pure muscles. When he felt satisfied with his physics, he
role + returned to his old village wowing never to get fat again.
role +
role + He announced his return home by throwing one of the former bullies into
role + the dung pit, jumping in after him and choking him to death in the
role + excrements. That being done, he proceeded to kill another of his old
role + adversaries by simply jumping on its head until it was flat. To secure
role + his future respect, he told himself.
role +
role + Four years later, the time had come for Yyrdoouhn to partake in the rites
role + of procreation for the first time – which is when a calf will no longer
role + be a calf but a bull. He watched with wild, red-shot eyes as the bitch
role + was dragged into the centre of the circle, and the Shaman performed the
role + initial part of the ritual. His eagerness to get going was great, as he
role + had refrained from self-pollution in the past three weeks like tradition
role + demanded. He walked forth to the whimpering woman – a swarthy wench who
role + deserved everything she got if one is to judge her past – pulled to her
role + knees and jammed her face in the ground, and mounted her. He convulsed on
role + his fourth stroke, for to need more time than that was considered
role + unmanly. As he pulled out and looked down through hazy eyes, he thought
role + "damn, shouldn't there be a second hole there as well??"... Then
role + realization dawned upon him… NNOOOOOOOOOOO!!! As he stood up straight
role + again, looking around him with wild eyes, he heard the laughter from the
role + circle of men around him. He lowered his head and charged straight
role + through the crowd, wounding a child or two, but leaving the village never
role + to return.
role +
role +
role + In the following years, stories arose among the people near Arkham of a
role + raging beast, maiming and killing farmers and cattle alike. Eventually,
role + the people began to riot, demanding that the creature be slain. A hunting
role + group led by the captain, Gishka K'ahn, was formed to deal with the
role + problem, and after several months of hard work, the captain himself
role + brought Yyrdoouhn to the Arkham city hall in chains, as the only survivor
role + of the party. The Minotaur would surely have died then, had it not been
role + for the Abbot, Alain Corbett who arranged for him to be locked up in the
role + Arkham Asylum instead.
role +
role + So Yyrdoouhn was locked up alone in a small, dark cell, not having anyone
role + to speak to in the world. He did not mind much, as he was constantly
role + planning his escape. Though because he did not speak to anyone, did not
role + mean he was not spoken to. As he slept, a whispering voice would creep
role + into his cell through a small hole in the wall. The words were often
role + cryptic and obscure, but the message nevertheless made it into the mind
role + of the sleeping Minotaur. "Attempting to gain knowledge and enlightenment
role + by conscious effort of thought, or metaphysical ponderings, will bring
role + but false knowledge and then disaster… The only way to find the truth is
role + by hard, simple work which occupies your body and your conscious self…
role + Then and only then will your soul guide your mind to realise what needs
role + to be realised… If you are aware that you are thinking about a subject,
role + young bull, then you are inevitably on the wrong path… A path which will
role + lead to failure, self-destruction and disaster… Those who claim to be
role + great thinkers and scholars are so only in their own, faulty world… If
role + they are allowed to have an impact on the world, the world will become
role + worse… The men, who delve in magic, are the essence of these dangerous
role + thinkers… They must be destroyed… DESTROYED! … But realise… Young
role + Minotaur, you cannot stop the use of magic alone… Nor can any army hinder
role + the use of magic alone… You will need an ally… In form of a wizard… But
role + not a living wizard, no no young Minotaur, it needs to be a wizard who
role + does nae need flesh… Whose soul has been sacrificed for the removal of
role + such a need… Seek your ally amongst the wizards of the undead… To him,
role + you shall bring power over all magic… Then and only then will those with
role + a soul use magic no more… And you need a second ally… The barbarians… You
role + will know which I mean… With them you shall fight to restrain the mortal
role + mages… Until He is ready for the power…" As such were the words who
role + filled Yyrdoouhn's head, and although he does not know the exact words,
role + or their origin, by the time he escaped, their meaning was his meaning.

oh yeah i'll post some logs on dios in a bit.

I think you got me once, and it was damn annoying also. I had punched in about five walk west, then out of nowhere you come and cranial me. The deaths where you write in word of recall, then lean back and see if you survive is THE worst.. Good job anyway.

nt

You were rank 44 as long as I remember.
Did you level sit on purpose?


>polearm spec sucks

What drugs you use?

From our earlier clashes (as Yshish) it was very clear Minotaur polearm spec is superior to Felar polearm spec. In everything.
Better tanking, more damage, your polearm skills work better, etc.

As felar all I got were bonus claw attacks. And I am limited to about five decent polearms light enough for me to use.

Perhaps you meant maces were better then polearm?
Polearm is an excellent choice for defense. As maces are for offense.
Apples and oranges. You cant compare them.

And it is about time cranial was downgraded.
Cranial+deathblow - dead anybody. Overpowered :-)


Good luck with your next char.
Yshish

PS Dont perma. It kills the fun. For you and for everybody else.

>>You were rank 44 as long as I remember.
Did you level sit on purpose?

Yup :) Never saw a reason to hero when I could sit at 44 and have a much bigger pk range (almost everyone inbetween level 40 and 51).

>>What drugs you use?


>>polearm spec sucks
What drugs you use?

only c-biz, alcohole, tobacco, coffee and tea.

Maybe polearm spec doesn't suck. It just didn't fit my playing style as I almost never have any need for defensive specs.


Fun fights anyway, and good luck with your next ones too.

>Anyways you were pretty slippery. Fun opponent.


Hell yes that was cool of you. I thought you were being in-character
there, seeing as how I lost it to a conjie, and you LUCKILY grabbed it
before me, and I just figured you were counting it as being honorable or
something.

Anyway, you were scary for me to fight, but you were cool. See you
around.
