A few people have asked for comments on the rest of the roles, so I'm
going to put together what Daevryn and I thought of everyone else.

First, though, I would like to apologize for what happened the last
time I ran a role contest. There was a pretty serious
misunderstanding between Dalteric and I, and I never meant to insult
or hurt anyone with what I said. If this apology is not enough,
please feel free to email me at rayihn@carrionfields.com and I will
attempt to personally make amends.

Now! Much better edited comments than last time. In most cases,
Daevryn and I agreed on stuff so I'm not going to really separate what he said from what I said. Now you don't get to know which one of us is the bitch! When I do separate them out - consider me to be Simon Cowell and Daevryn to be Paula Abdul (I know he always wanted to be Paula).

Also - if you only wrote your note to me, Daevryn didn't read your
role. If you only wrote your note to him, I did not read your role.

Aquar: I don't know why your storm giant parents would sell you to
this slavery kelp farm full of evil people that torture you for some
stale cake. I'm sorry, it doesn't jive well. (This character has
deleted since entering, so I'm not ruining anything here I don't
think.)

Zel: I loved the way you made fun of the lucky edge. Your role gives
a good voice to the character, and we liked that you named your
servitors.

Gharral: I do understand you jump on most things that look like
they're about to move - try and incorporate more of this role into
your RP, though. It's cool, you could do a lot with it.

Dahltu: That's a solid paladin role for the religion you follow. You obviously know all the right answers to all the paladin questions.

Flarkon: I don't think that RP and role have to be dedicated or
revolved around your sphere, but I would have liked to have seen at
least something about why you picked the sphere you picked -
especially since it's one near and dear to my heart!

Aldran: We conflicted a little bit on this role. It's interesting to try and write the role from the perspective of someone who would have a 25 int, big words and all that. We did both say it was pretty solid that you play this role under pressure.

Gnashgaar: Yup, you sure are what your role says you are! I enjoyed
the philosophical orcish aspect of it.

Hunsobo: I can't think of you without thinking "HAN SOLO!" but maybe
that's just me. I dig the role a lot but I've never seen you do the
thing you said in the first chapter that you do all the darn time.
That's cryptic, but you know what I mean I'm sure. Great idea, but
you gotta play it!

Teladar: Dwarf sha all the way. Nice balance of dwarf beginning
history then branching on to applying it to the rest of the character
in the rest of the world. Hope you keep updating.

Chiji: You didn't send this to me, but Daevryn liked that it was
written in the characters voice. Well, he liked the idea of it but
couldn't actually bear reading the whole thing.

Zaphoedine: I couldn't help but compare this role to VC Andrew's
Flowers in the Attic. Just a really ####ed up character – though I'm
pretty sure I mean that in the good way! Updates are good, even if
they get stranger as they go!

Annaeia: PS: I love WolverOrcas! I have to say I wasn't sure what
you were trying to do with this role and this character. (I'm sorry
that was disappointing, I was just sort of bewildered because I had no idea what you wanted from me – maybe it was just quest form, but I
wouldn't be the one to just hand it to you) Don't be afraid to be
more clear. I like the idea of finding beauty in water but I didn't
know what was supposed to happen next.

Groh: I don't dig the cabal thing you were doing and I thought the
chapter to justify it was a little flat. The background parts
outside of that were solid.

Kuhlceros: A role well-rooted in the CF world. Solid all around but
didn't stand out as a winner with so many other great roles entered.

Dhason: This was an interesting read for me, but again not a huge
stand out. I put it better than the middle of the pack, though.

Kiril: Standard paladin role – sorry to see you didn't stick it out.

Hrok: This was another role that had a hard time keeping my
attention. Would have liked more depth on religion choice rather than
hammering on the fact that you'd made the decision.

Nastagio: We could only judge the newer bits of it and those paled
compared to the first, super awesome and unique chapters. I also view
god hopping much the same as cabal hopping.

Karanok: I like the war aspect, and that you're trying to play the
hell out of it even at a pretty low level.

Iia: So! You're super creepy little girl. Now what?? Come on,
girl, gimme the dish!

Rusylael: That sure is wood elf ranger role. Not terribly much stood out on this for me. There's nothing wrong with being wood elf ranger with a wood elf ranger role, but for role contest winners we look for things that really rise up from the crowd.

Maethron: I wouldn't mind seeing more in this role on why you picked
your thief path. I liked seeing some conflict being good Tribunal, it stands out well in your RP, and I would have liked to have seen it better detailed in your role.

Nkrumah: I dug that you picked a different type of way to view your
sphere than most people do. I liked this role and I hope you continue on with it and update it often. Would like to see more chapters about how you're going to RP it rather than just basics of info that don't have a lot to do with the character.

Hrudgir: I would have put this right under the honorable mentions.
It's not super exciting, but I really like characters who start off
not knowing their path and exactly how to play it and do everything
and grow into it from there. Keep updating, especially when you're
playing this type of character.

Theroc: I had a hard time reading through this. I'm sorry I have
such a short attention span. It didn't hold my interest very well.

Eulinda: I expected a better role from you, actually. I hadn't read
your role before the contest but we've all seen your RP and I guess I
just expected the role to be as rich. Add some stuff! It's been a long time since an update.

Desila: Short, good, explains what you are and why you are what you
are. Not a stand out, but solid enough that anyone reading it knows
what you're about.

Rosbanin: Disqualified! Sorry! Gotta get those chapters in before
role contest is announced!

Sensel: Hm. I see what you're trying to do with this role, but it
doesn't explain enough to me why you'd change like that. Technically
solid but it just didn't grab us the way the winning roles did.
Also, what has happened since? You've done a lot cabal wise, I would have expected another chapter on that.

Thunzath: gotta write that note to both people running the contest.
Good, solid fire AP start for me, though.
