Actually I do try and change, you don't need to be a #### about it.

I offered to send in the role but your wife said no, flat out, stating she wouldn't work with people who "contribute" to those forums ( a whole two posts! the horror!). Considering I won a role contest, it wasn't terrible.

A) It's been done before, this isn't some new precedent. There have been non-neutral druids before. There's also been class changes before of active characters. I've done both of these in my time with CF.
B) Considering I won a role contest and generally people liked the character, I think I did well reaching the bar.

I did take actually most of the blame - I put work on Arvam with my "blank slate" concept that backfired and was unfair, I played something I absolutely hated thinking I would get it changed, and I was requiring something to have fun from the Imms. Over the years I have improved and I've had a lot of decent characters recently. The only thing I put blame on other people for is for your wife not giving me a chance since she was mad at other people taking it way too far on the other forums and then literally a week later I see a dwarf transmuter (which is an INSANE combo).

If you want to stop the drama, stop rehashing my "bad CF karma" of events from ten years ago and stop taking small shots at me whenever you get the chance to.
