There were a few reasons I stopped showing up. Two of them were real life concerns. I was being completely unproductive in real life, due to my monomaniacal tendencies (kudos to Dev for pointing that out a while back). I was also moving - I don't have internet access away from work yet. As for the in game reason, it became less fun. I probably got burnt out.

So I went cold turkey (again). This time it was more of a test of will, because instead of deleting I always had this character which I liked and could log in with at any time. I'm not going to say I'm quitting because I've quit and come back several times already. Instead I'll just say I'm taking another break.

Thanks to the immortals for making this a great game. Though I have several gripes about the mud, they're obviously not enough to outweigh the fun that comes from playing this game. Thanks for not denying me for my original name and allowing me to change it.

Since it's been a while and I have a notoriously bad memory for in game characters, I'll be limiting my goodbyes to whomever comes to mind.

Intronan (possibly Thror, if he loses his accent while wizi): I've gotta say you did a great job handling the cabal. You provided both criticism and encouragement when they were required. One example that sticks out in my mind was when I was extremely close to deleting. I felt like you read my mind when I was standing there at the shrine after dying and being looted. You said several words of encouragement to the cabal (which I felt were aimed mainly at me, but maybe I'm conceited) that made me completely change my mind about deleting.

Huraz: Good job, kiddo. Your assassins always kick ass and you did a good job leading.

Bryvac: I'm glad to hear that you got commander. You seemed to be the best for the job. My only regret is that I wasn't there for the rites. Although I didn't want to be leader (because I felt my interest in cf waning), I did want to participate in the rites. I had notoriously bad luck (or poor decisions) when fighting with you that generally caused me to die, but I didn't hold you accountable for that.

Nourn: I'd say it was the opposite with you. I had notoriously bad luck while leading you that generally caused you to die. Sorry!

Yror: After not giving me your rec after nearly 2 hours of interviewing me on the account that you had a bad gut feeling, I really disliked you. Over time I came to like you. Then when I read what you had to say about me in your farewell I disliked you more than ever. My apologies that I'm now placing my real life above carrion fields.

Valarath: You were a newbie, but you stuck with it. Keep it up. On second thought, quit cf now. It's not good for you.

I know there are other ragers who should come to mind but aren't right now. Don't take it personally. I can't remember disliking any of you except for Yror (for the reasons mentioned above).

Enemies: There was really only one enemy whose player I can remember now that I disliked and that was... *drumroll* Talsu! AKA Killer Birdie. You had an overinflated ego and a desire for others to acknowledge you as a good pk'er. I won't say you were horrible. You had your moments. But you certainly weren't anything more than mediocre.


Although I corrected people all the time when they called me "brother", it really didn't bother me and I found it completely understandable. After all, I am a guy and I didn't act very feminine in game. I tend to be a much better player when I'm solo, and so I picked legacies which would enhance that facet of my playing style. I was very satisfied with my legacies as they made group fighting much, much easier. Landslide was great. So great that I tended to overuse it. However, the great thing about that legacy is that even if you overuse it, y

Come on, that isn't fair. From a player perspective, I'm very glad you're putting real life over carrion fields. I'm doing the same, and wish you luck. But from a character standpoint, can't really blame me for playing a character that was looking for gung-ho, dedicated, 110% applicants. And as for a 2 hour interview, Spyko gave me an interview that literally spanned three days, during which time other ragers wouldn't interview me. I think that is a bit excessive, but as much as I hate to say it, a lot of Carrion Fields is geared toward full time players.

Again, hope you're able to kick the addiction.

I spoke too harshly. I was a bit offended at your comment in your farewell and decided to strike back in my own farewell. As I said, I came to like you as I played my character and that outweighs the insult derived from a comment or two. I don't dislike you.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Will you marry me?

No goodbye?

sigh. you sold out when you stopped fondling.

Man, you were one mean bitch I'll tell you that much. Was really looking forward to fighting you in the rites, then poof, no more birota. bummer I'd say. anyhow good luck with what your doing, and make another someone to go play with me eh.......I bet people hated your driving, just hated. well see you
late
Bryvac

I always figured you were going to make a huge comeback...

Double Titled...
PK ratio over 75 perecent...
You rocked

What happened? I have feeling that you had to up and drop CF, and won't even see this, but I hope I wrong


(Sorry I thought Birota was a guy for so long...)

Crap can't believe you pulled that character together in 196 hours! Seems lots more double bashers have joined the battle ranks couldn't believe you smacking me down in the Aryth when I was prepped up whe wazzoo Elemental in tow and you no rager powers. First time I had faced the double bashing drive tactic, I just sat their slack jawed and thought "how on earth did I just get whacked!?"
Great job, would like to hear your thoughts on your legacies and what not.

I was very impressed at how well you handled yourself in combat. That one time I got you in the Shrine of the Battleragers before the big D and giant returned was luck on my part and bad luck on your part, but aside from that you did extremely well pk-wise from what I saw. Well done.
