What was meant to be a login prior to a few days off ended up being
the last login.

A quick explanation on some of my logins, I did go AFK alot and at
times also go AWOL in the middle of about to start a raid fight.
Sometimes you were talking to me and getting nothing in return. All
of that centered around "Well the little man is finally asleep I
can play for a bit." then changing to "Enter password ... Oh someone
needs more milk or needs a pat or needs panadol."

Thank you to everyone who makes this game what it is both in the
imms and players alike. Obviously without either this wacky game
I started playing in the mid 90's wouldn't have still be here.

Thamuuk for me was my Barney Stinson moment "Challenge Accepted" and
largely it was born of weeks of discussion that Dwarves are lacking
and need 23 strength. Given my stubborn nature during one of these
particular discussions its was mention that HPM was nerfed to oblivion
and that low intelligence STSF was not worth it. So it became a
"Triple Challenge Accepted". Regardless it was something I was always
curious about after playing Vramun (HMP/Fires)

Likely this had no right whatsoever to work and yet somehow it did,
the big telling factor in this was the dwarf component. I went in
not expecting much so part of my plan was to go nuts with the Deck
of Fate because well I was doomed from the start and then delete.
But as I leveled it just became more and more apparent that dwarves
can be absolute wrecking machines. Below level 30 Thamuuk was
absolutely cleaning house, and this never really seemed to slow
down. When I hit hero range I actually didnt see a need to power
to 51 and was more content sitting around 48 as it gave me all the
heroes and then some to fight. Given I had 87 pks (84 evil) with
a low gank o meter I think its fair to say dwarves are viable and
certainly compared to my overpowered duergar sword builds I have
ended up with a similar number of pks BUT with much heavier
restriction on who I could fight.

So the big question is I suppose would I play dwarf again? Yes
Would I do the same build? No
- Whip hand HPM is immensely versitile I really felt like I had an
. answer for everything. So I would consider it
- Low int STSF was not great in 700+ hours and ALOT of fighting it
. fully charged twice. Once against an Orc wearing -'ve int gear,
. once against a frost giant wearing -'ve int gear. But you have
. alot of fight where you get nothing Hoisshyr was a great example
. of this where 60+ rounds across multiple fights I did not get one
. charge.
- Either way tho I have some way better dwarf ideas locked away so
. I will certainly play another one at some point.

Being named Captain when I was was an incredibly trying time for
Fort, we were in the dumps and needed quite a big rebuild, and this
did make inductions and managing applicants a challenge so thanks
all for your patience, understanding and willingness to work through
this. Azorinne thanks for entrusting me with this, I think I did a
good job.

Immortals:
Azorinne thank you for everything, and accepting my immense
informality in my approach to some things. I don't know what it was
but when we first spoke it all felt a little James Bond. There I was
all dishelved and bloody and beaten up, but I was about to have tea
with the Queen and "Ma'am" just seemed appropriate.

Baerinika its great to see you back, it was definitely an additional
boost in morale, I do feel like I was the first one to find you,
good ole dwarf inherant for the win!

Destuvius thanks for the third legacy I think "Enigma - a person
or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand." was the
perfect choice for a rather peculiar dwarf.

Deck Of Fate ... From My PBF
"An objectively bad build on paper with success, longevity, and RP
and even didnt delete from Deck of Fate nonsense?"

I have always had a curiosity so my objective here was to draw a
stupid amount of cards from the deck ... Mission accomplished.

I will clarify this likely I think I would have had an extra 100ish
hp if it wasn't for the Deck of Fate it cost me alot. But that is
the result if you pick some 50+ cards from the deck (I lost count
on what the actual number was but it was alot at some stage I will
check logs and see).

Players:
There are so so many that made an impact and made the game enjoyable
friend or foe. I will concede that I am bowing out a bit because I
really don't want to miss anyone. The game wouldn't be what it is
without its players so throw yourself in head first keep mixing it
up, those high risk victories and even failures is what makes CF
thrive.

In ways this character is a bit of a swan song and with the little
man now walking life moves on. So while I will be back on the
fringes I wont be taking onboard any serious leadership positions.
