I also liked how were willing to go balls-to-the-wall, to an extent. That's why I made you War Master. But it was also my choice for you to fight Ibcade. Grurk didn't tell me to do any of what I did, he just said he'd help set up the challenge. I felt you weren't filling the role of War Master well enough and that you weren't fulfilling the obligations of War Master at all. The things that you said to me when I logged on that time sealed the decision for me as to whether or not you were a suitable War Master.

That's fine and I'm not going to anathema someone for it, but I felt I had to demote you back to an elite, which is still a very sought-after position in the Empire.

As for your matchup against Ibcade, you would have won if I didn't stack the odds against you (I won't say more now). But you still could have won with some different tactics. You had him bleeding. You could have ran him in circles while he bled out and you healed up. There were also some more creative tactics at both of your disposals that could have swayed the fight in either of your directions that you all didn't use.

All in all, though, good job. I could tell you were somewhat new, but you tried hard and that's all I can ask for (as a player, not as Skiltore).
