On the other hand, making it apparent who you are makes it reasonably easy to predict what you will do, and that in turn makes you easy to handle.

Also, being known isn't necessarily something that should boost your ego. For example, if you are known as the guy that ganks level 11 magi 5 v 1 and then sacs all their stuff before going ooc to mock them, it isn't something to be proud of.

Not everything you are known for is something to be proud of. Considering that you are basically sound in pk (not all the time though, because you didn't cover yourself in glory when we met -- I think you were the ranger I considered least dangerous of those I was enemies with), I think you could make some amazing characters if you took on board some of the stuff people say on the forums. e.g. About the way in which you use tell.

I also wondered if you had another character that was a bard. Guess I'll have to wait to find that out.
