Well folks, it was fun. Sorta lost interest, should tried for Maran. This was my first shifter since the days of the golden tower and I wasn't quite sure how well I would be able to do in the PK arena so after much rp and ooc consideration I went acolyte. Bad idea I think.

I never had a written role, but I always had an idea of who Sansten was and how he developed as a character. He started out, essentially, as a complete coward and as he grew up he became more and more courageous. I even changed up his desc to reflect his age a couple of times. Go me. Alas, I think having no role and no religion sputtered out the fun for me. I know, I could have added a role, but I felt as though it was too late in the character's life. I don't know why, maybe I was just too lazy to do it.

On the plus side, I did more exploration with Sansten than I did with any other character. Learned a thing or two. Yay.


Goodbyes -

Fort:

Adhelard, Arvemos, Brinton, - You three were my guys, we would always meet up and start laying the smack down.

Chokiare - That one time, we kicked a%$.

Anaisah, Mirryl - Where are you guys?

Kavan - I hate you.


Battle:

Lerimos - You tricky bastard. You were the only villager I ever worried about. We both had our tricks, in the end you played smart and figured out you could switch things up faster than I could. Well played. Too bad neither of us ever killed the other. (though there were some close calls!)

Chirrpiku - That time at the inn had me cracking up. I even tried to get you to leave the inn so you wouldn't be fighting every last bouncer in the inn, but you took a while doing it so I made things hell for you :P

Burrgyn - Sorry we never really fought, but uh...I already knew the outcome.

Firegiantaxespec - That one time you pincered me inside the inn when I was out of form...I got away with 7hp. Enjoy.

Empire:

Inthulnizra - Man you were annoying. Enjoy the gear. I figured I would just suicide out my last death. One thing that makes playing a shifter a challenge in raid situations is the difficulty in hitting and redirecting at your enemies.

Kharghurln - You were cool, we had some nice fights. Thanks for giving a bit of my stuff back. Sorry you have no friends :(

Kunitsin - I hated fighting you. It seems you could always outdamage me with those damn magic missiles. After I found a somewhat reliable barrier source I was going to come after you...but never did. You would have gotten away anyway :P

Well that's it for me. Time to roll something new. Something less survivable.

P.S. - For anyone who got annoyed my Sansten's stuttering, sorry. It annoyed the piss outta me too.

Always good when you raided, you were a semi danger to me as I know how fact wildcat can run and is amazing at initiating combat. As for your corpse. I think I took 1 thing and left the rest. I ID'd your good only wands too. LOL. Overall well done.

As for raiding as a shifter. You will learn how if you stick it out. There are certain ways to do everything with every form.

You were the greatest. No raid could go wrong as long as you were a part of it :) Pretty bummed you deleted 'cause I have a feeling there would have been fun times ahead!

Good luck with your next.

Hey, I liked you, and the stuttering too. If you hadn't stuttered, I probably wouldn't have remember your character!

It was too bad Katalilssa butchered your corpse on accident in the swamp that one time; it was great ranking with you.

I know you got off to a rocky start in the Fortress, not sure which side to join but I thought you would make a good Acolyte some day after you got a little more Fortie experience under your belt. I'm sad to see you deleted already. Well, have more fun with your next!

Well, not knowing which side to join was mostly an IC thing. I think it would be nice if more people went into this sort of thing without already knowing all the answers to the interview questions and knowing exactly where they will go and what they will do. I think we as players sometimes fall into traps of repetition rather than roleplay. But, there definately was another OOC side where I was trying to decide how much I would be pk'ing, so I decided I would roll with it and rp it out.

Another thing to keep an eye on is really defining the difference between Maran and Acolytes. It should be more than it is now, I think. I also found that when speaking to most people in the Fort, they don't really know the difference either. They can give their rehearsed speech about it, but when questioned on it, I can tell their logic is not well thought out.

ICly, joining a cabal is a HUGE committment. Your character should have a solid foundation of understanding of the cabal if he is planning on pledging his entire life to its service. With the fortress, if I were leading and someone wasn't sure which side of the fort they belonged on, then they hadn't given it enough thought and wouldn't be inducted. From an in game POV it's not something that should be taken lightly.

Oh mean you were courageous when we fought last. I forgot you were a porcupine and you almost got me good! That one time with the Scions was very interesting surprised the heck out of me. I would have enjoyed more interactions but alas its not to be. Good luck with your next

And this is an example why you don't type a goodbye message when first waking up. Apologies for the typos.
