Race:	human
Class:	paladin
Level:	44
Alignment:	Good
Ethos:	Lawful
Cabal:	None, None
Age:	27
Hours:	84
PK Ratio:	47% (closer to 100% is better)

First of all, I'm not mad at you, you my dog, but you know damn well you were the worst cabal leader in CF history. You wouldn't retreive the cabal item even when unopposed, your interviews were shoddy and easy, you constantly questioned our flags with reasons like 'He say's he didn't do it' or 'He say's he was in the INN at the time, I think you should remove it'. What I'm mad about is A> You got flippin empowered with no role? WTF-I put so many hours into my char to get empowered... Besides writing a story I sat for several hours a day for weeks leading up to his creation thinking about how he would act, talk, etc, etc and you get empowered with no role and become the cabal leader. I makes me feel like rewards on CF aren't anything you should work for.
The other thing is: Astein and Bria say they love the cabal and work hard to make it better and they pull this #####. You booted likely the most competant tribunal for what seems to me like a tottally ooc b.s. scheme to keep the man down and drove off two of the other most competant tribunals by making this total fuckup the cabal leader-he breaks every damn rule in the book so you make him our leader WTF?

I'm playing out my chars life because I put so much into him, but this is my LAST tribunal EVER

How did you think we would feel about all this?

I had said, a bad leader was better than no leaer and I was wrong.

What I'm mad about is A> You got flippin empowered with no role? WTF-I put so many hours into my char to get empowered...

Wow, sucks to be you. One time I was in a Studio Art class in college. The teacher told us to draw this one statue of three horses on our campus. I worked for hours and hours and hours to make it look as good as I possibly could. The day it was due I was still working on my finishing touches. Not a bad piece of work, I thought.

Then this other guy in my class comes along and sits next to me. From scratch, he draws the entire statue in an hour. Much better than mine was, but not by a lot. Even still, the teacher gave him and A, while I got a C. Maybe the teacher was an idiot or maybe he didn't like me. Who knows? He's still the teacher and so he gets to hand out the grades.

The point is that sometimes the IMMs don't give out A's for effort. Some, and I'll tentatively throw out Shokai's name here, do. This game is predominantly a subjective grading system. If you don't feel that the rewards on CF aren't anything you should work for, well that's too bad. Maybe you should spend more time about what Zheesus' characters accomplish and less on what other people's characters accomplish.

You bring up a good, valid point; however it just doesn't apply here. If Istaneil were the one in your scenario it would be more like this:

Our class is assigned to sculpt a piece of stone into a statue, the one graded the highest gets a scholarship to the finest art school in America. A group of us pour our hearts and souls and endless hours into our project-not all of them are perfect; mine had a few flaws. Istaneil walks in moments before we are receiving grades drunk and high-he looks at the statue and starts laughing pushes it over busting it into pieces and say's "hehe, its Taliban!". When the teacher grades us she tells Istaneil 'O.k, you are a fuckup, you've fucked up every single assignment so stop talking while I talk to the rest of the clss'. While explaining the flaws in our statues that we actually worked on Istaneil inturrupts 13 times and is slapped each time. When she's done she say's "O.k, Istaneil I'm going to give you the highest grade, stop fucking up". Nobody understands, two people drop out but I along with it. A week later he's kicked out of the art school for being a fuckup.

Zheesus.
"I'm not tense, just terribly terribly alert"

I agree.

My interviews were easy for a couple reasons such as:
A) Trbunal is a "newbie friemdly" cabal, or so I was told.
B) I wanted to fail some people but I knew an imm would let them in because the cabal is so damn easy and they would think im a jerk :P

I didnt have a role, at the time I didnt care if I got empowered or not.

-Whatever.

Good god, Tribunal is a piece of work!
With that said, I DID quit, I didnt stay long enough to ge the boot ir I probaly would have.

So, I'm gonna do this like everyone else..

Kaada: I love you. I love your eq. :)

Bidefahl / Vymn: Thanks for the ranks, it was fun.

Serramanna: Cop 'n Robbers.. reminds be of what I was 7 years old and ran around jamming sticks up Billy the robbers ass. :)

Raelath: Thanks for saving my butt!

Yeta: Thanks for saving my butt!

Gorgan: Thanks for saving my butt!

Tribunal: I quit, I got fed up with the amout of Pussies in the cabal and the likes.. so I quit.
Tribunal Gods:

Bria: Thanks, first virtues, etc.
Astein: Thanks for the chance, and hey.. is it true I had the most smites without really dying?

Scions: Iillien, kehe got ya once.
Holson: :-)
The rest: Why is it you all join to PK and do nothing else but end up with ratio's like mine?

Sylvan: Dunno..

Dawn: My favorite cabal, no idea why.

Maran: Some people that really make sense..

Warlocks: didnt know any, Thanks for the ranks Mordion.

barons: *shrug*


As for my desc and role: desc sucked and I had no role..

As for Tribunal, I fucked up and ended up Leader.. I wanted Justiciar but got burried in a shithole instead. It was fun and I tought me I never wanna leader a cabal for a long time :) Thanks astein, the ass within really is a helpful teacher.. or somethin.

PK Ratio: I can't complain..


*sigh*
At least I didnt waste much time on him..
Cya.

Didn't know you, nor could I have. I think what comes to mind while seeing this, other than the disappointment of a role-less empowered leader, is what Hammon's player told a bunch of people. (Can't remember who he is just now) He said, and I quote (with shotty memory and tired eyes) "If someone offers you leadership before level 45 and you're not sure, tell them to go screw themselves" It was something to that affect anyhow. If you didn't want to be leader, why'd you accept it? And I can see how being a cabal leader would get in the way of ranking, though less-so with Tribunals.
Anyhow, I think you made a positive impact on the cabal if by nothing more than adding numbers and some victories. I did hear all the bad things about you, but oh well. Now if only I could some spare time.

-Paelnor, ranger third class, beneath Kiac and Flontinot, applying for an institution of sleep, learns, and somesuch.

I acceped leader because I hoped I could change the cabal just a little bit but it seems all you get for trying is a smite or two and a PK.

I never Istaneil was a good character, tribunal, leader, paladin, or anything but I tried my bes to play the part, apparently I sucked.. fair enough.

Tryed to warn you ooc that it wasn't as easy as it seemed.
I didn't stick around with my other character (you know who she is) Wasn't because of you, mostly becaues Lady bria and Lord Astein didn' let the rest of the people in the cabal say word one the night we had the "big" meeting. Wake up Immortal leaders we ALL had valid things to say if you would have let us voice our concerns. Any way yoiu gave it a shot. I commend you for that. Good luck with your next character. See you in the fields.

>Kaada: I love you. I love
>your eq. :)

Yeah, I sort of hooked you up. Please tell me you weren't sphere Justice? You, the provincial magistrate, accepting gifts from and generally being friendly with someone as utterly incorrigible as Kaada? That's probably boot-worthy right there. Certainly I can understand from a player's point of view why you'd want to remain friendly...I mean, there's not much for a goodie to hate about Kaada...but as a Tribunal you should have been extremely upset at her just about all the time.

Oh, just so you know, I finally lost that longstanding flag when I died to a stupid teleport. Unfortunately I got another one about five minutes later. Hee!

Hehe, I WAS sphere justice and the reason I accepted the eq was well, im g greedy bastard and I like pryare beads :)

E-mail me :) Istanil@hotmail.com

You came out and fought me out of town...that took guts. Especially when I had two servitors and my walker. Man, i almost got you...damn manacles kept me from moving though. I pretty much fought you alone, aside from that Serramanna fiasco that didn't play out so well. Too bad your gone, fun fights we had.
