#102753, "RE: (AGE DEATH) [EMPIRE] Sivyh Nakhtun the Vicious Tines of Imperial Might, Emperor of Thera"
|
I was hoping to prolong this a little more, but damned if I'll play like a wuss just to eke out a few more assassinations. And so ends Sivyh.
Initially I rolled this character to answer the question: "Hey, I wonder how Mizfara would have gone if I'd been evil?" Back then I was constantly frustrated by the lack of targets to stalk/assassinate and always thought the grass would be greener on the other side. It is, to an extent, but it also seemed like there were an inordinate amount of Fort characters with detect hidden during Sivyh's lifetime. Maybe I'm just imagining that. Also not being able to hit people in town was a bigger annoyance than I expected it would be.
Sivyh is also a prime example of how luck and timing play into Emperor selection. Once Gvantulak died Faolai was a shoe-in to replace him, but he didn't want it so a door opened for me. Had Faolai assumed the throne, which was his for the taking, I probably would never have risen past Shadow Lord.
A few characters off the top of my head that stood out in a positive way:
Faolai, Zaanzorbarus, Volkhan, Armagon, Lohoq, Ghrimriddor, Athioles, Drayden, Puhguly, Rhone, Tavlin, Allysia, Skeeta, Dvalygg.
Couple things I wanted to respond to:
"Sivyh is too nice". Really? I mean, sure, there were a couple folks I might could have demoted that I didn't. I didn't loot people just for the hell of it. But I didn't really see this character as "nice".
"Sivyh is ruining the Empire." Not sure what I could have done differently. I was about as promote-happy as they come. If you met the requirements then I would promote you to the tier just under elite. I let sect leaders choose their elites. If your sect had no leader then I'd go ahead and make you elite. I had my reasons for not appointing a High Priest or Dread Lord, but I kept expecting someone to come along who I could feel good about giving a council seat to. Nobody ever did.
I'll hold off discussing the coup unless Zaan says its okay, since he's the last surviving player from that episode.
One last thought: mummies + anazu >>> paladins + defiance.
