I'm going to avoid touching on the looting stuff and your perception of previous events leading up to your death to me, as well as the overall negative undertone of the entire post, and just mention that I really liked fighting you. I hated dying to you, but enjoyed the fighting aspect leading up to it. I think you were very skilled as a shaman and really had a good handle on your paths. I wish that there was a bit more substance in our interactions beyond the fighting back and forth, but for whatever reason it didn't work out for either of us. Whenever you were on, as an Imperial or otherwise, I knew you were going to bring the pain to whatever was in your way. You helped turn the pendulum away from Fort o'clock and that's a pretty substantial achievement and speaks to your capabilities and mettle as a player.

My only point of constructive criticism, if you are up for it, is to let go of the gear focus. Loot comes and goes, and (at least for me) is a part of what makes the highs and lows of the game for me, beyond just the PK. You win some, you lose some, but take it in stride, stay in character, and do what you have to to get it back without compromising your character's image.

That said, whether you knew it or not, I the player was a big fan of Soviatos and hope to see more effective characters of yours in the future.

All the best, and good luck with the next.
