Those turnip. Muug actually ate or donated to others more than seven hundred of those. Urgh. This reminds me of the time I when I logged on at my aunts house, using telnet. Muug and Macumba in Thar Acacia. Urgh. Countless ways to mispell 'g turnip bag' and 'eat turnip' do happen when you don't see what you are typing. Not to mention that you'd have to eat eight or so of those turnips at time to keep a giant satisfied, when two boar steaks could have done the same. Muug was probably my first and last char to use turnips as his main food.

Muug was filthy rich, having 1000 gold coins in bank, thanks to Itequelaqua (sp). There were several ideas how to invest that money. I'll list some.

1) Heroes tournament with 50 gold reward to each hero working as card there, fights fought in Brawling Room.

2) Fighting tournament in Inn, a good price for the winner.

3) Big bounty for Gerylanst's head. Muug really grew to hate that guy, or at least wanted to take some part in killing him.

What happened was: 1) and 2): I never got to the point of sending a note to Sessha in order to make this happen.

3) Bounty system was still not in use(Having witnessed bounty system screw chars (or almost screw a char) myself, I'm not surprised that it got the break).

Muug was my first attept to play a warrior. Muug was supposed to be a minotaur, and the name was originally planned for a minotaur. No minotaur, so he came to be a cloud giant instead. My original intent was for Muug to be a throwaway PK char, a goal which failed miserably. I did PK with Muug some, but he wasn't a mindless killer. His neutrality prevented that.

Muug developed in peaceful direction and in Hero level, he was practically without enemies. Muug had some exploration success, such as finding a way to Silent Tower and being my first char to visit Delar Tol in the past. Muug wasn't my only char in the fields, which was a good reason to delete him.

People around Muug had seen Muug eating turnips during his late life and hear him saying that he was a turnip farmer. The whole turnip farmer thing was initially part of deletion RP. I decided to buy 1000 turnips from Galadon and delete, explaining that Muug gave up adventuring and became a turnip farmer. Despite the somewhat biblical title of this thread, he did just that. Frozen North, fighting Udgaard and farming turnips are his life now.

Muug was specialised in sword and axe and knew legacies chilling embrace and fist of the titan.

Despite my bad habits not to write goodbyes, I'll try to write a few now. Here's few names I remember from Muug's past.

Kealor: The drinking game gets boring when you use barrels and has a severe risk of alcohol poisoning. I liked travelling with you as Hero, and it reminded reminded me of the explorations of the assassin group Fungor & Nubley.

Aurilinius: The main reason Muug didn't murder every Imperial Blade on sight. Aurilinius was a nice bard and since he was the Imperial War master, Muug felt less inclined to PK his blades. One character less to hate Imperials due to your charismatic presence.

Gerylanst: One of the few enemies Muug had. Muug grew to hate Gerylanst and wanted to see him dead, but the same time he knew that he couldn't win Gerylanst alone(from experience). So, Muug tried to assemble some friends to gank Gerylanst few times(because just for one time, he wanted to see Gerylanst die and lose the fight), but they were never interested in doing so.

Yagharek: Another tough foe for Muug. You were fair enough to return a decent amount of items and my sack after that full loot following my fight with you and Eade(killing of whom in the process made the whole fight meaningful).

Arminas: The affable elven healer who kept the group alive in Mt. Calandaryl. Your personality was quite likeable.

Diseased rat: Having you bite Muug and Muug chase him in Galadon was much fun. Thanks for the Imm who did this. It was one of the many incidents that postponed my deletion(Muug lived 50 hours more due to these events).

Aubarelle: My fellow turnip buyer. You were level 3 that time(and didn't buy thousand, like Muug did), and deleted before Muug, though I did have a long absence during that period. Muug tried his best to immortalize your words: "Turnips are good for you."

Brindelbin: One of the Ragers who struck Muug during his numerous feuds against Gerylanst. Good luck with your new Immhood. Stick in there and try not to delete soon(in other words, I hope you like it).

Limnoreia: You didn't like turnips, eh :D? Limnoreia dragged Muug from deletion about two times or so. Well done. He still had Silent Tower to find at that stage. Muug is in that farm full time now. Bring in the cooshoos

Fritz: One of the too long names not remembered in full length. The gnome shifter Muug helped to Hero and adventured with after that. With your help, Muug found his way to Silent Tower. I hope you found it too, eventually.

Eerolyin: Another friend of Muug. We didn't travel much, so I don't have much to say either. Muug liked you and would have helped you if needed.

Lucious(sp): The wood-elf Herald healer who put the idea of becoming Herald into Muug's head. Muug would have done that if he hadn't been a character in the verge of deletion.

Gordath: Uncle Gordy! Gordath was the wise uncle that taught young Muuh about being warrior. Muug turned to Gordrath for help when he was wanted, though Faelria made this promise of help unnecessary soon after in Organia. Muug never got caught breaking the law intentionally, which he did though.

Thonthoz and Tzalaacz(I don't even try to remember the spelling for that one): I remember us going ranking and me accidentally typing tr tz instead of gr tz. It was in Hamsah and you guys local magistrates so there was only one possible outcome. One flurry killing Thonthoz was rather brutal(pre legacies though), as I was decked at the time.

Viscar: The nice fire giant. Viscar couldn't be evil, right(this is Muug's naiive interpretation of things)? Viscar decked Muug up after Muug helped him by pincering emperor Gvan in Hamsah.

Gvan: You doing big devas and me doing little devas was rather disheartening in our duel. Muug was decked and all.. I decided not to fight you alone after that. Not to mention what could have happened if you'd actually had communed plaque or something(I ran after that sigil of pain). Plaque is one cloud giant killer. Someone said in forums that shaman PK is about letting the other guy think that he is winning while you maledict him. You made it clear that you'd kick Muug's ass with or without communes in that fight of ours. It was pretty scary, but I lived to fight again(preferably someone else).

There are other people there too, but I can't recall them all. Post if you have something to say and I'll try to respond.

Fungor, Agantas, Murgh, Atohner and now Muug

I'll say more when I'm gone, but I've always liked my interactions with your characters. You did help me out quite a bit and I considered you a friend. Thanks for everything.
