The following is actually meant as a compliment.

Playing Quintius near and at hero was one of the most frustrating things I've ever done in CF. Not only were the Masters weaker, but that inexplicable alliance made between 2 Imperial sects and the village pretty much left us Arbiters bearing the brunt of the village frustratingly without being allowed to fight back and take the Bloody Head of the Magician.

People often wine about game imbalance, but I honestly feel there wasn't a lot a human sword spec warrior could do to triple resisted battlerager giant warriors with old-school reposte, unblockable deathblows, and were allowed to gang-bang.

I'd log in near the end, see myself outnumbered 5-1, scream in frustration and sometimes log off, but one thinge kep me alive.

My utter, total, and complete seething hatred of Minalcar.

I still can't believe how much I hated Minalcar. Out of every made-up villian I've ever seen in games/movies/books none caused more, simple, straightforward hate than the Warlord of Asmodeus.

When War was finally approved, I can't beleve how much detailed planning and diplomacy with the Masters and Imperials I put into destroying the village, or how ruthless it all was. We would do stuff like:

1. Take the head, give it to the Masters of Imperials, then flag retreiving lowbie ragers to put them into hideous XP holes. Never lying, but letting them impale themselves on their own assumptions.

I've never been that much of a bastard, always felt a little bit bad OOC putting criminals into XP holes, knowing how much ranking time it would take to get out of them, but here, I didn't care.

I, as well as Imbrogno and other Arbiters, wanted you all CON dead.

2. Intentionally multi-killing and gang-banging Battleragers with Imbrogno and other Masters, since I honestly sucked at PK, and keeping a detailed list of who was still alive and sending it to Master and Empire on a weekly basis, sometimes more often so they knew exactly whom to kill.

I've never multi-killed anyone before or since.

3. Raiding for the head then, out of sheer spite, killing every mob within, looting the pit and mass-sacrificing everything down to the last charred bracer or piece of bread.

4. Having an arbiter necro not kill a plagued up rager he had slept, but to let him wake up....and taunt him as he slowly ran out of moves and died of the scourge.

5. Keeping the war going another 2 weeks once it was obviously over until the ragers were down to less than 10 people, and the head had stayed in the Arbiter cabal for 3 straight days.

Well done on making one of the best villans I've ever seen.
