and I thought the best rd'd anti-paladin, not to mention the most successful I've seen in this chars lifetime. Noviask was also a huge pain in the ass as I am pretty sure you figured out my vision for Empire and yours were quite different, but one of us was Emperor.

I really didn't want to anathema you. My plan was to demote you as a way to get your attention and try to bring you more in line with what I wanted, then promote you again if it seemed like I had you under control (since I was Emperor and all). Once I demoted you, you seemed determined for force me into anathemaing you, So I gave it to you.

I really thought it was intentional because you decided you couldn't get the throne through a vote and decided to roll the dice as champion of the dark lords and, honestly, Kraldinor's player was kinda pulling for you. If you had of pulled it off though, I think you would have probably run Empire into the ground in very short order if you were Emperor since I actually got more people coming to me crying about Noviask's latest offense from inside Empire than outside. Anytime I got an "Emperor could I have a moment of your time?" type question my first guess was always Noviask, and I was always right.
