I was very impressed with this char, and am truly sorry to see you go. Me always being duo and you always being in form made for some quiet times between us. I would have enjoyed interacting with you more I think. Good luck with the next.

Yet another character that I enjoyed being around. Yeah, the being in form thing definitely made for some quiet. Maybe someday they'll allow cb chat in form. Heh.

The last one in Whistlewood where you brought the portal and I had 2 or 3 of the truebloods chasing me while trying to kill various nightwalkers and find you to finally ambush had the adrenaline pumping for a while. I had to laugh when I came back to find your corpse right next to mine and wondered if the maladictions I had landed had killed you or if the truebloods chasing me had turned on you once I died. You were convulsing I think when I died.

Anyway, props on hunting a marshweller in a swamp, made for some fun for a change.

Ha. Had forgotten that one. Yeah, made the choice to stick the fight out and "try" to get away when the purebloods turned on me. They turned and I think it was near instant deathination.

One of these days I'll actually follow through with entering a role. Never ended up entering everything in and whenever I thought about it, I'd just missed another role contest deadline.

I -almost- reactivated yesterday... Had decided I should delete because I've got a show opening this week and could really stand to spend my time in a slightly more productive way than hour after hour in the fields. Thanks to the Imms for most all, if not all, of the improvements. Some great, great things have been added since I was last around and the time you guys put in really shows.

Can't really think of any forms I would have rather had. Was util/defense and had...

tawny deer
brown bear
giant toad
sand lizard
spider
angry crocodile
hairy orangataun

I completely agree that some revamping needed to be done for utility, but damn if I didn't miss being able to cruise around as a spider or monkey, that was crazy fun.

Spent hours and hours just solo, exploring, dying to mobs. Tried out a bunch of edges and they were pretty cool. It will be interesting to see what happens when shifter edges are put in (if and when that happens).

Had a pretty good time in Scion. Made my first hell trip in years (Thanks, Ravon) and was set for some more fun before I needed to up and delete.

The "woe is me" section:
I think I had at least a dozen drunk and/or sleep deaths, as well as a number of "my link sucks" deaths. Such a pain in the ass to be disconnected, get a connection back 5 minutes later, be in a fight with someone and not be able to flee because the game freezes me for 10 or 15 seconds. I remember waking up several mornings and looking back at the scroll buffer "You have been killed!". Oy. Ferrod, thanks for being one of those but not following through. Much respect (not that I hold it against any of the other folks who found me and beat me down). Another fun thing came when my keyboard recently lost partial function of the "E" key. I'd say it fails 30% of the time. Just because I wanted more of a handicap :)

As is pretty typical with my characters, I don't really make much of a mark, so I get to feelin' lonely. Heh. One of these days maybe I'll get a clue :)

I wanted another shot at you. I have a feeling I could have killed you one on one if the settings had been more to my favor, instead of yours. I don't know why I bothered to stay around that last time after fighting Igbah on eastern and you end up getting me. Ah well, I'm sure I made you teleport a few times when you were on. :)

Yep, definitely teleported a few times rather than give you too many shots at the assassination. Didn't mind fighting you straight up. Always surprised me to find that you were still around after not seeing you for what seemed like 10 or 15 minutes.


Here's one of the very few things I actually logged. Was fighting you and Mr. C in Hamsah... For all the times my link dropped or any number of other little hang-ups, I also had a share of being very very lucky. Case in point:




Your punch *** DEMOLISHES *** Zridv!

You flicker and blur into the shape of an angry crocodile.
You maintain the hardness of your skin as you shapeshift.

Your bones creak and snap under the strain of your trauma as you shapeshift.
Your shapeshifting injures you.
You are mortally wounded, and will die soon, if not aided.
The faint corona of light surrounding you flickers and ceases to be.
Your warcry has worn off.
You scratch yourself.

You were solid, good char to run around with. Will say more in my Goodbye.


Iggy

Loved runnin' around with Igbah. Great, fun character to be around.

You were a beast and always prepared to throw down. Fun fighting you even if I never got the upper edge. I was rather disgusted at just how many attack types that croc ignored. It was silly.

GL with your show! Break a leg. (preferabbly not one of my future characters.)

It was always hard to say how our fights would go, it seemed you would school me at times, and other times I would school you, although you caught on pretty quick how dangerous it was to stick around too long.

on to your next

Well I don't know where to really start.... I enjoyed our fights to a point, but with those forms and my utter lack of ability to keep you in a fight no matter what I did got annoying when you could just flee and heal, or straight up outdamage me as a croc les I was wrathing/flamestriking the whole time. Anyway I think you were very determined and made a formidable enemy. I am kindly.. sad to see you go but then again at least I have one less enemy to worry about. Will see ya in the fields again soon I hope.
