Cabal:	None, None

I have no idea where to start here, and as usual not a lot of time.
My life has just been upside-down this past month or so. I'll spare you to gory details, but both my girlfriend and I got very sick with Viral Meningitis, she more than I. So lots of time in the hospital and then looking after her as she recovered.

I had a horrible feeling in my gut when I saw Choranek was gone, it was similar, but just an iota of the one I got when I thought I might lose the girl I love. This has been a time of finding out what is important in life.

Anyway. Huge thankyous to everyone whom I interacted with in my long CF career. The Imm-staff: Valg, Thrak, Amaranthe, Blach, Phalem, Sebeok, Khas..hell all of you. Thank you. For you in mortal land who bitch one way or the other about this and that, let me say you really, really have no idea how hard these guys work, how much of their heart and soul they pour into this game (yes Valg has a soul).

There are too many people to list, in too many guises and incarnations that I have met in my time since my first character to even think of listing and saying good-bye to, so I won't try.

I'll just say so long.....for now. =0)

Real life does happen. Unfortunately in your case it has been on the tough side. I really liked the character as a player. Your talking in character would leave me winded.

I am sure if you had been able to keep the tenacity you had as a mortal, you would have done just fine as an immortal. With everything that you have been going through though, it is easy to see why that wasn't possible. Good luck with getting back on your feet.

Never got to interact alot with your character. Just picked on you when you was a mortal with my svirf conjie. Denzibah. Had some fun fights though....long time ago. Good luck in what ever..

Sorry to see you go, kiddo, and sorry about all the difficulties you've been going through lately. Hopefully we'll see you back at CF eventually!

and a special thank you for all our interactions both mortal and Imms. So many times I was crying tears I was laughing so hard. So got Chors role so well, even things I hadn't actually put into the Role you picked up on. I remember also being completely blow anway when I interacted with your Trib Paladin when I was Riatsila.
I'll be back at some point, and I'm sure there will be another Covenite in the offing!

I remember when you were a mortal I considered you one of the coolest people I interacted with. I was pulling for you to be the high priest of the maiden when I deleted, and well you kind of toppped it.

Cool imm, cool character, gonna miss you. That meningitis is scary stuff.

It was you and Blach that set me on the path to Sylvan, at the time I hadn't planned on going for a cabal. Chor was supposed to be an eternal, always curious, always upbeat. We had some good chats Phraen and Chor.

Well, I enjoyed trying to work with you, good luck and I hope you are feeling better.

Damnit man! Why?

Was a blast. You were always a pleasure to be around, even when things were going a bit.. sour.

We did pull a few rabbits out of our asses during some lean times, as well.

Well done. Hope you can still enjoy the game, as you helped me enjoy it quite a bit in your time. Was hoping you'd take up Outlander.

Ack! As a perma-Sylvan character, I always loved hanging around Choranek. I think I helped you get a lot of your earlier ranks. Sad to see you auto like that...

Damn you. You were always such a champ when I knew you as Akrangol, and I was so happy that you immed (that and at least I got to kill you once with Drialger :P) I echo what Kas said, you made people want to do better, and made them enjoy what they were doing so much more.

Good luck with whatever gets brought your way.

The funnest person to be around was the perfect way to describe Choranek. Allways full of life, had an esay that wasn't idiotic, and a great teacher. You inspired many sylvans not just myself to make more of ourselves and work towards eutopia. Not much else I can say but great job and luck on your next.
