Since I looked up so much to you, I was really hoping for some comment. :( Ooh well, good luck on being empress! You deserve it! :D

~

n/t

I must say you were awesome blade. May be not the most deadly warrior I've ever seen. But your rp and pk abilities as well as player person and style of playing made me love this char. I'm so sad there are no two war master places otherwise you will be one. But alas I had to make Jhuutr because of some rp reasons I will reveal when Eoria gone. But definitely you deserved to be War Master. And I had feeling you scheme against me with black sect, though I could be wrong :)

I enjoyed traveling with you, fighting with you on my side. You made me laught sometimes with your comments :P. Wish I could show you more here and there but we had so much enemies most of the time or were busy with raiding.

P.S. Stop dying that much, you are not rager after all!

Good luck with your next and I hope we will be on one side again.

Since most are dead now, you were actually the only one I didn't scheme against. Early on, not long after you had give me the oath you made a comment on you being old or something. Batu decided to it meant that you'd be dead soon, so he decided to just stick with you, do whatever he could to make you emperor and then just await your death and plan well for it. ;) hehe And I sure did. I really I hope I get to interact with more of yours chars. And that you can learn me more.

This was fun, ALOT of fun. Overall I had more fun with Batu than with Berak, even though the peaks with Berak was way better than the peaks with Batu it was better overall with Batu.
I made Batu with the (for me impossible) goal of becoming emperor, I really wished to set my goals high and try to RP really good. Put a lot into my role and I am really happy that it got some nice response.
But, unfortunately I just couldn’t live up to the standards or goals I had set to myself (not the emperor part since I was certain I’d fail anyways.) but some minor goals. I just don’t know enough about the game mechanics/rules/empire/etc. But I’m still happy that I made elite, got waaaay disappointed that I didn’t get Warmaster, even though I believe Jhuutr will make a better one than I ever would, just thought I had RPed my way into swaying Eoria into my favour with all my sceeming to make her empress and myself warmaster. Hehe

I also would like to point out that I will NEVER EVER again make a role that allows for as much ganking as my role allowed for Batu. I just don’t like it, felt really bad in all the ganks except for a few of them.

One of the goals I failed to achieve was some imminteraction, witch is completely my own fault. I’ll come to that in my goodbyes.

And another lesson learned, I still don’t fit really well as evil. I found that out with Cedek, and got it confirmed as Batu. Well, that’s life. Heh

As goes for my build, I really liked the fact that I hit like a running train. At one point I was over 85 damroll, and it was awesome against NPCs, and the few times I cought someone offguard I was hitting for oblits. I remember getting Huewop as a thief slept him on eastern road, it was kinda nasty, all I did was 2 pincers really and he was dead. But as soon as I fought anything other than a warrior that could cast spells, or someone who went for my vulns I was deader than dead. So, at the end I stuck with 70ish damroll and went for saves, resistance and hp. So had around 1300hps, heavily protected against spells and some protection against the rest, always res cold ofc. This did a lot for my PKing really.
Polearms really saved my life A LOT of times, but I still was quite a disappointment since it wasn’t nearly as useable to take blows as I thought. And axes, they’re just awesome.

Previous chars:
Maynak
Cedek
Berak
Batu

Goodbyes:

Immortals:

Zulg: Well, not sure if it was you that gave me that nice echo together with my lastname. But still whomever it was it was cool, really bumped me up a bit. I’m a bit bummed that I didn’t manage to get some more immteraction, but it’s my own fault. Din’t do much to deserve it, or even pray enough for it. And I think our times didn’t match to good either.

Cyradia: Thanks a lot for reading and liking my role, I am glad you enjoyed it.

Empire:
Eoria: You were the only person Batu liked, not that he didn’t sceeme against you, but still, he liked you. And so did I, both with Batu and Berak I always enjoyed interacting with you, thanks for everything you thought me. All my most fun sessions have been when you have been online. Keep up the asskicking!

Jhuutr: Hrm, some days I loved your char, others I hated him. You were always in Batu’s way of gaining in the ranks of empire. And seeing you become Warmaster and not me really hurt, even though I do believe you deserve it more than I do, just that I had so good plans against you that I was certain it would work. Well, your though, you kick ass and you know a lot of things. Thanks for all the help and the things you’ve thought me.

Vanakoth: We had a deal, even though I eventually planed on betraying that deal I did have it. Not gonna say more about it even though I don’t think it’ll affect your char now when I’m gone. You kickass, and I am sorry that I didn’t keep Sebath’s whip and gave it to you, would have been some interesting tension in the black sect. heh Unlucky that you keep loosing your weapon, it sucks since you are damned good at PKing and I really like your RP. Keep it up!

Nhivi: Well, wrote most of it in your goodbye.

Kathiva: You were a cool player, heard a lot about you fighting off bad odds very well, but the times I fought with you, you died. Must have partly been some mistakes from my side. Heh

Savarnic: Batus first impression of you wasn’t very well, I think it was around your lvl 40is and Batu was lvl 25 or so, we worked as hell trying to retrieve, and you only had one opponent defending I think and you logged off, without retrieving. That sorta set Batu mind against you for the rest of his life, even though he did see you do some quite cool stuff. I have no idea how new you are but sometimes in PK you felt kinda new.

Avlak: I never liked the fact that you did loot so much from everones pits. And well, a few other things that won’t be brought up until all chars involved are dead. Your char was quite rude, but I always figured it was your role.

Rhayla: Man! Batu liked you, he always liked the shadows. You were a great asset, to bad our times didn’t match more, or perhaps they did but I just didn’t see you. Heh

Kessa: I am so so sorry that you got full looted in the chasm that day. I was so pissed that I couldn’t carry anything, and I barly got out with my own life intact. I loved learning and the small bit of exploring we did together. And of course that long session against Igbah and Meldressen that ended with you being full looted.

Brankpur: Man, suicidal, but you thought me some things as well.

Rest: Sorry, but I’ve already forgotten a ton of names!

Outlanders:
Throkk: Never fought you much, but I really wanted to. At least 3 times I was hurrying back to defend against you, first time I run straight into a deathtrap, no defending there, second time, I ran the wrong way being hurt into the ancient white dragon, dead again, and third time some transmuter found me resting in the tower of dragons, died from the dragons bite bleeding… I just can’t wait until your PBF comes.

Neyveryd: I have two memories of you, one good and one really bad. First one was when you tried to trick me to the forest claiming you were a thief with darkened boots, I fell for it and you attacked, that attack must have hurt. And you know, I had no idea that Jhuutr would be coming, I had already planed on meeting with him, but not in that place. Second time was after me and Kessa had fought Igbah and Meldressen, and later the archmage and you jumped in and almost took the both of us, ending up with Kessa being full looted, no idea if it was you, Meldressen or some youngling though.

Huewop: We had a few fights, both early on and later in life. You hit like a truck early on, and I was truly afraid of you. But after that fight where I had a thief to sleep you, I really wasn’t afraid. And I am sorry for that nasty pincer I did on you in the throne room, I had just logged on, got some prepps and ran straight in, had no intel on your status.

Some felar: Only fought you twice, was fun though. To bad I deleted and we didn’t get to mech it up some more.

Rest: Well, didn’t see that much of the outlanders really, can’t have match my hours much.

Scions:
Igbah: My nemesis, got any record on how many times you managed to kill me? You where/are a scary dude! I remember that time me and Vanakoth got you 2vs1 in the open plains, and you just smacked us down SO fast it was ugly. Only time I saw you get hurt bad was when I had Kessa with me and I was well prepared. I am really curious about your PBF and build. Keep it up!

Sebath:
I still feel really bad for looting that weapon, glad you took it as well as you did. Not that my role in any way would have allowed for me not to loot it but still. You rock!

Durzan: Quite rough as well, remember going after you somewhat prepped when you were lvl 40ish and I was 50, I had to run like hell after that. And that was just bashing… Outmeleed by AP… 10 lvls below me!! Hehe

Elemek: You were really annoying, I never knew if you were going to have all the ABS up or not, so sometimes I fled from fights where I really should have kicked your ass, remember scrolling up and seeing myself hitting massacres and I was like WTH! Why did I flee? Other times it was just nasty, and you hitting massacres and your ABS rocked me.

Meldressen: I had some serious trouble with you early on, but after lvl 46 I believe I didn’t, not until you managed to get me that time when I fled down the whirlpool. I haven’t found the logg but my stoneskin must just have fallen. Just the seconds before our fight I had been fighting a bard (wish I have that logg, he must have been surprised not managing to land anything.) so most likely all my prepps had fallen. It really annoyed me about the gauntlets since you really did not need them. The rest you could have looted though. Heheh Nah, I liked Meldressen, typical scion. Keep it up.

Ravon: Only saw you online twice I believe, fought you once, but Chricuk was with you and I was in quicksand without fly potions. Deader than dead…

Chricuk: Ouch, that’s all I have to say, ouch!

Zorran: Well, same goes for you, had a really hard time against invokers…

Fortress:
Nerhiva: I was SO surprised that first time you raided and I was online, it felt like I stood a chance against you, and the next time you came, man I hit you really hard! I was so annoyed that I didn’t get you! Thank you for that tell by the way, I really boosted me.

Pessawkt: You are a mean machine! Only times I saw you dead or hurt I wasn’t fighting alone. And all the times you engaged on me I wasn’t prepped. To bad we didn’t get to have any fights where both were prepped or unprepped. Heh

Lyriana: You were my first PK goal, I really wanted to get you and I did. You rocked!

Doweran: Were you fortress? Can’t remember, to bad I had to logg out that time when we were supposed to duel.

Nexus:
Yrillbink: We had some close calls, sometimes I hate the player behind the char, sometimes I don’t. You feel somewhat crazy. Hehe

Glimdar: You I liked, I really did like the player behind the char. At least the times we crossed path.

Battle:
Raatok: I am still sorry for taking your sword, it was a real mistake. Only time we met.

Golhyrr: You were mean, and when talking to you I really got a feeling of talking to a dark-elf. I remember that time on eastern, I had just killed Huewop and you I saw you coming, I had a few plans of talking to the village and I thought it would be a good time, so I just told you “Greetings”, and then I stood still awaiting the answer, and it came like this: You may greet the edges of my swords. Or something like that, lets say that I ran like hell! Nasty!

Beherious: I liked you a lot, somehow you reminded me of how I played Berak. Just a bit better at PKing than I was. ^^ heh

Rest: Well, I like the village! Keep it up!

Tribunals:
Overall I liked the tribbies, except one storm warrior that I can’t remember the name. I could take the storm vs fire bantering that we always did, that was fun. But you really insulted Batu when always telling him to stay calm when inside a city! Hahaha, he could have attacked you just because of that. ^^

Heralds:
Sevanna: (Right?) Well, I am sorry for killing you, had no idea you were a herald, but I was supposed to group with you and that conjie and Sebath took my place. So went in to kill Sebath and that conjie, but only you stuck around. Though luck.

Patick: That was low selling me out to fortress, just seconds after we got lose Pessawkt shows up. ^^ hehe Guess that’s how it goes.

Shifterwhoaidedme: Thank you, but I really was on the verge of killing you to get some food. It would have been really fun, ofc I wouldn’t have looted you.

Keep CF alive! Keep it fun! Keep the flaming and crap out of here! Stop the full looting/sacing! It has NO use!

And keep up all the great work you Imms do! You kick ass!

See you in the fields!

I really wanted to nail you, but you always seemed to slip through my fingers.

The tricky time... Sigh. Such a wasted opportunity ;)

FYI, that time with Kessa I didn't loot her at all, believe it was some midrank Scion.

Well, figured you werent one to full loot, and niether is Meldressen I believe. :D Never was afraid of you, but I made sure to keep an eye out for you. If cought unprepped I'd be wasted asap. heh

From a healer's point of view, you were one of the more fun people to attach myself to for a session. You were amusing to talk to and reliable to fight beside.

As for the Scion thing, there wasn't much you could have done, I was hoping you'd have a chance at messing the nightreaver up with me there and didn't expect the assassin, but that's why they're assassins I guess.

Gear comes and goes. The one thing I do regret is not getting you out against the stacked deck of outlanders we tried to retrieve against, wtf insects/entwine is all I have to say.

All in all I liked the character, and I hope to see others from you that I get to interact with soon

It means a lot to hear it from people I respect. Makes me wanna improve my RP and PKing even more. Keep it up, I hope you'll be the new high priest.

Ah there you fell aswell, you always kept trucking even though you got looted to nothingness, kudos on that, gl with your next, take care.

Apart from the ganging bits, which was obviously cabal choice, I liked Batu alot. The chaotic nature of Elemek is what brings about the sometimes abs and sometimes not in fights. Makes for interesting times.

Make the next, even better.

It was fun fighting Batu! But I most say your pk skill really evolved during the course of Batu's life. In the beginning I wasn't scare of seeing you on where (unless you had the warmaster or other elites with you) but then something changed and you started wooping me right and left.

Anyway, I think you rped stupid giant very well and I hope you had fun.

Good luck with your next

It's refreshing to read a goodbye post that doesn't have any bitter or jaded words in it and just shares that someone really enjoyed the game. I wish I knew what tell I sent you that boosted you, I shouldn't be doing that to Imperials. :P We had some fun fights and I appreciate the one-on-one-ed-ness of some of them. I'll be joining you soon enough on the Battlefield, more then!

We fought, you fled. Moments later you said: Since when did you start to hit so hard?
Or something like that. Always held you in high regards, so it meant alot to me. My first char since I returned was Deriveh, lvl 28 storm paladin. Almost made him con-die before lvl 30 ^^ You inducted me to fortress. heh

I always wondered what happened to him. We had a great roleplay session where I told you about Baerinika and inducted you and found out you were going for Shokai, right? If you're the guy I'm thinking of. After that I never saw you again and have been curious what happened to you, that character had a lot of potential I thought.

Yeah, thats the one. Well, I had 9 con or so when we had that session. And I utterly sucked in most aspects of CF. The roleplay I believe was decent, but not good enough I believe. Think I'll be making a new goodie soon though. So see you in the fields! :D

Never really liked the empire much, I've played a few empire chars, they were just like I've always known them, Eager to slay the first they see that is not an Imperial. Since I never really liked going out and starting fights on my own, I saw her in the fields, decided she would like to get in.

Well, I should have been expecting it. But well, I didn't die. :D

I respected Batu and knew you were a tough fight. Many times when I would
run into you, it was in a bad situation for me or me getting lucky against
you. I did enjoy our interactions and wholeheartedly agree about the looting
/sacing but I can say I never saw any of it from you. I hope you come back
soon hopefully on my side the next time.

Already been at your side, as Berak. ;) Human h2h/spear warrior, defender. :D But perhaps it'll happend again soon.

Yeah you were a slippery one, not sure I even managed to bring you down, just cut you up is all. Good fights all round though, even when I was get the hell ganked out of me!

syitf

You have truly earned my respect, kick as player, and congratualtions to Marhsall :D

Did you like your build?

Congratulations on earning elite blade. It is fun to play with Imperial training, isn't it?

We didn't fight that much, but we had a few good ones.

I liked the Hamsah fight with Jhuurt, Rywald and Miette. It was
a mess, and only pure luck saved you ;-)

That time when Eoria, some felar and Batu come to the tree was also
very cool. I assume you ate a bad prep and got frozen. In hindsight, I should have attacked you and driven you into the spirit instead of fighting Eoria. Ah, well. Anyway, it was pure luck on my behalf that I got out of that alive.

When you were alone in the 40ies, I often gave you a break because I had a feeling you needed some time to get up and running.

But towards the end, you seemed to have a fine grasp on your strengths and weaknesses. Too bad we didn't encounter each other much then.

Good luck with the next.

Well, I just wrote a quite long answer to this, and I don't have the time to rewrite it. Haven't had time to write my goodbyes yet, but I'll get to it as soon as I can.
