Who are you, and what did you do with shamanman.

Couldn't tell it was you, lacking the corpses strewn all over eastern effect.

Seriously though, I ranked and fought with this character and liked him alot. Even if there were times I thought nexus should be pandering to my demands and was instead chasing me around. =D

Cool char shams, glwyn

Heh, that was fun to actually manage once. It was when you came at us when we were raiding the Palace and you tried to assassinate the wood-elf bard just after we finished the Inners.

Between you and Kohrzeck, I really disliked the Nexxans and just started to assume you were hunting me if I ever saw you in the same area.

By the way, hunters are very easy to escape from because they have NO lagging moves of any kind that I could figure out.

I may be wrong but I always thoughts thats lagging trick.

I can only speak from my viewpoint of fights, but as far as I could tell, none of the aimed shots or serpent strikes with the staff did any lagging at all. And hunter bearcharges do absolutely nothing to lag victims. Lash was the only remotely possible option and it's so unreliable on rangers that it would be a real crapshoot if it worked.

It's possible one of the timed attacks with the staff might do something, but never got the chance to use it in a pk. And it's unlikely that it would do anywhere near the 4 rounds of lag that the attack takes when you use it (3 before, 1 after).


It's actually one of the frustrations I have with the game: no real knowledge of the actual mechanics of skills of some classes. By that I mean I've never had OOC friends to beat on with various classes to tell me what the effects were and hunters were rare enough that you seldom see them in posted logs.

I enjoyed Slorinek immensely. Though I owe a huge thank you to Calbaseeti and Kyaltaru for helping me rank.

I learned a lot about assassinating, and I think if I made another, I could do pretty well. However, as the character got older, I had a hard time sticking with nexan morales. Especially the past couple of sessions, I killed some people who really shouldnt have died, I got some warrants that I really shouldnt have gotten, and while I still maintained the right people as primary targets, I failed to really carry through with them. Furthermore, I really should have written a role. I originally intended to just rank up and toy around with assassinate, I didnt foresee getting drawn into roleplaying like Calbaseeti did to me. I made up a role on the spot, but never put it to paper, and regretted it for the entirety of Slorinek's life.

I've never been good with individual goodbyes, but I will post my thoughts on Slorinek.

Holy damn should I have done my kicks. Kyaltaru's expression was priceless when he found out I was lvl 40 and hadnt started side kick yet.

Assassinating just isn't that complicated. I think people assume that a whole lot more goes into it than it actually does. I approached it pretty straightforward and had surprising success.

I'm sorry to the people I was bitter to later on in the character's life. I sort of had a downwards spiral in the past couple of days.

That said: Kegren, I really wish I could say anything positive about you. I have no idea how you are still a tattooed goodie. Blows. My. Mind.

Malakhi, You started off cool, and god damn were you hard to track(a few times when I was doing so, I was just sloppy), but after you cranialed me down while fighting Kegren, I lost almost all respect for you.

Tarleton: I loved you man. You were hilarious and I like how well you took the nexan thing in stride. We were best friends or mortal enemies dependant on the day, and you were down with that.

Nexans: I generally liked all of you. Ixralleinda and I were a force to be reckoned with, I loved Kyaltaru and Calbaseeti, the young ones seem like they're pretty cool too.


Thats all for now. Post and I'll respond.

Poor Nexus!

And all the deaths and flags you were taking, I knew it was only a matter of days before you deleted. You seemed to completely lose focus, and after you came at me with the lion, I knew it wasn't in character and you were just blowing off a lot of steam, and I was the one who happened to get in the way. Whatever, it happens to all of us and I didn't really hold it against you.

On a different topic, I kinda feel that if Chaos is tipping and you're a wanted Nexun, you should be forced to turn yourself in or lose the flag or something. It seems kinda wrong.

I said if you were wanted, you were to slay the orderly to fix the scales and not just lay your life down like a coward for standing up for the balance. That was my perspective on it.

I meant when Chaos was the majority, it seemed rather odd to go around with a flag and to fight in town. IMO it just seems a little wrong.

Yeah, that was the start of the downward spiral. Which seems to happen a lot with my characters, when they should be held to restrictions.

RE: Paladins getting wanted, etc etc.

One day I should really buckle down and play a character thats difficult for me to act as. And stick with it.

I genuinely liked you, however, and tried to show that more today.

Just don't break the law during that period.

I find it ironic that Kyaltaru would be breaking the law because chaos was tipping.

That's not a dig at him. It just occurred to me that for a nexus bard to fight a chaotic person in the city, he pretty much has to break the law.

I feel I should say something, but I don't really know where to start, so I won't.

Holy mother of saves. When I was ranking you in the mausoleum with that mismatched party we were calling a group, I still can't believe no one died. I don't use aliases, and man I was rushing to get aegis and healing and sanc and lifesurge on everyone. It was totally an ego boost for my healing. :P That time was also great for talking to you as well. I never checked to see if you had a role, I just assumed you did based on our talks. Generally speaking if Calb was doing something "nice" for you, the price was you had to talk to her, and man did we have some great interactions. After that it sort of seemed like you weren't around too much, and we never did get a great spark like that again. Although, I did greatly appreciate your constant "Blah blah is now dead", and then you'd move onto the next. Very well done and good luck with your next.

I know you were really mad when we messed up in what I call now 'The Tarleton debacle' but it happens.

Glad to see you around once I got into Nexus. Probably the only person who played less frequently than me, I noticed you putting in a lot of hours lately and that tends to lead to burnout.

Good luck with your next.

That just a fail. Oh well.

Thanks for running with me the few times we got to.

Assassination list is posted on the other boards.

You were my favorite non-mage in the house. This just keeps getting worse.

Good luck with the next.

You sure were a powerhouse at times. I didn't get to hang with you much, but damn did you hit hard. Too bad you always were missing those clutch cranials though:P.

hehe. sometimes when I see someone writhing I'm almost tempted to trip cuz 99.9% of the time that last cranial ends up missing. It's been a curse since the mid 30s.

Really going to miss you though dude. I was really looking forward to you and the ranger heroing up. Hope you enjoyed the time you had with us.
