At 1 o'clock PM, Day of the Sun, 20th of the Month of the Ancient Darkness
on the Theran calendar Iia perished, never to return.

Race:	human
Class:	druid
Level:	48
Alignment:	Neutral
Ethos:	Chaotic
Cabal:	OUTLANDER, the Outlanders of Thar-Eris
Age:	43
Hours:	185

I was asking around IC how to deal with you, but even with wooden weapons, I was defensless.

Thorn Heart sent me running everytime. If you landed it, I left.

Seemed like a solid character. I only ever heard complaints about you winning every fight.

From running away from you. I felt like I won something one time when I figured out how you were finding me. When I was finally able to make you run away almost 50% of the time I was a bit sad.

There's something poetic about fighting a crazy outlander in the flames of a burning city...

Anyway, thanks for the laughs.

You were a fun foe to fight. I was scared to death of you in the
beginning, I got you once but I ran from you many many times.
A tremendous druid you were.

Thanks for great fun everyone.

Thanks to all the immortals, Lyristeon was great. Thanks to all the other outlanders. Thanks to all the enemies.

Basically, the only rason I had to delete is that I was totally burnt out on druids. Not showing up as leader had everything to do with not wanting to log on to a druid type class.

Suddenly I started to feel real bad about applicants and it became..."God, I don't really want to log onto a druid, but their are applicants waiting." I love leadership positions, don't mind interviews, but when you no longer even want to play a class that seems all wrong.

The human race was fun and not nearly as inferior to wood-elves as I thought it might be. It really is all about forest time.

I felt really deathful at first, but then later ate some bad deaths. Like...went from deathful to dying 10 times in a row at the end, often soon as I unghosted. This was to shapeshifters, wooden pincers, undead, earth elementals, special guards, and a variety of other things that made me feel like I was a priest who forgot to put sanctuary up :) I hate that as druids you are protected against the newbies and unprotected against the players that know what they are doing and more elite. Also, I hate prep classes, and druids almost fall into this category when going against the non-metallic opponents :) It never helps that I run my druids agressively, which makes for some exciting on the edge kills, but near the end made for a string of frustrating deaths :)

Thanks again,

Crystanthia, Tiera, Amora, Alyre, Iia

PS: Druid edges would have been cheerful and interesting, but I couldn't keep applicants waiting for something to rekindle interest in a class.

Iia was the best candidate for the spot. I know you had been eating a few bad deaths and your con was getting low. You had earned a shot at Harbinger and I was hoping that the leader con would have given you that boost to turn it back on.

As a follower goes, you did really well when you were into it. Good luck with your next.

Thank you for the Black Hammers on cocaine. The hammer possessed all its properties but was jacked with twice the stats. I made many many shiny gold pieces cause of you. So once again, Thank You.


I wanted to see Thief Edges especially in the form of enchancing the stealing abilities.

Cool character, but I think this goes to show druids were pretty broken last time you ran around with one, despite Nep's claims otherwise.

But that doesn't change the fact that Amora's druids are tough. I think Amora prepped more with that character than with others since, but that could be a factor of buggy herbs.

Eh, I don't think this is that far off form. Don't forget that Amora con-died.

Iia was still the killingest non-evil character of her time by a wide margin. Without crunching the math on it, if she didn't rack up the most kills per hour of any recent character she's certainly in the running.

Man, wasn't you offensive? I was running both with you and against you ( I believe I killed you twice(?) with my alt), and I must say I was impressed. I wish I was that crazy as Halistanis but it is just not my game style (though I am working on it, honestly!).

And I feel your pain. Druids seems to get more and more annoying to PK with with time. I am currently struggling to keep interest in Halistanis as well. For many reasons though, not only because druidish PK gets boring.

Anyways, nice induction, very consistent RP, awesome PK, well deserved leadership. I just hoped to see your con-death.

You tell Iia "You should care a bit more of your body, child." Hehe.

Good luck with your next!

First time I've ever been able to play around with most of the AP skillset against a druid. I am really surprised that I never died to you. There were certainly some close calls (for me). Thing is, there are very few classes where there isn't some sort of optimum tactic, but against druids there were a whole mix of things to try.

That time I slept you you were probably in less danger than you thought. I was low on mana before the fight even started. If it weren't for my groupmates running me out of the room I planned to summon you to it could have possibly gone my way though. Every time I walked in to shut the door and summon you, they started trying to chase you. Bleh.

Anyway, well played. I take it leadership didn't appeal?

What has happened?

I was always amazed that you never got to hero *throws a rock at you* I remember being mid-20s and leveling on Kao-Toa with that god awful Jellyfish form :P Have fun with your next.

Skilled and willing to stick it out in the tough times. Good character.
