#39403, "School is calling."


          

Ugg. Just looked at my class outline and figure time to focus on school above all else. Thanks for the fun all. I think I am too focused on RP above PK for CF. Gfelzni(Minotaur gone Good?), Yyuffi(Storm, Elf, Dwarf elitist), Ionna, Haelstrom(hoping for a non complacent honour driven character)

To those people who thought Pmenoa had no Imm imposed detriments:

Pmenoa the Blasphemous Jackass, Exile of Fortress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : 51 Sex : male Race : elf

AC pierce: 100 Defenseless AC bash : 100 Defenseless
*notice max Int and Wis? Hmm Saqzawaz?*snort*
**first issue I had with this was the fact that there was NO signal of onset and it occured not the same day as the Exile. It happened the next day while I was alone, fighting Dark-Elves in the Underdark. No room emote, personal emote, d'nada.
***second issue was just how badly it screwed this character, I was trying to get skills better and WHAM suddenly everything was hitting me consistently and twice as hard it seemed. Most likely not twice as hard just way more often.
****no rhyme nor reason to the restoration of 5 points of Int. None. Talk about sad info for role development, this was it, in spades!
*****worst of all, in my opinion was a lack of in game signification of what had happened. I had to alter my desc and then no one would believe that it had happened, eh Saqzawaz?

My experiences, as a roleplaying type person, ranged across the spectrum. Some allies were stellar, some sucked and were obviously playing CF the text version of Mortal Combat. Enemies seemed to almost all be uniformly well played. Yyuffi had Rastorenn as a foil, Haelstrom had some nasty bugger too. Pmenoa had the Imms.

What I did hate was people attacking on sight, repeatedly, a character just because they figured it was the thing to do. When someone tries a dialogue, listen a little bit, and maybe you will find a different way to interact with a character? The first attack makes absolute sense to me, you figure this is your foe as hopefully layed out in your role, but then go further than just assault, you may just be amazed!

I think my favourite two characters were Haelstrom and Yyuffi. I really did like having Rastorenn as an enemy, and was willing to put Yyuffi in a position of jeapordy with him. Haelstrom was a mess, but was a thrill. How to make a mistake a second!? Haelstrom allowed that.

I know I preach about roles, description and the like, here are a few:

Character: Pmenoa.
Subject: Darsylon is Boring.

____Having left Darsylon on a whim I found myself wandering without any
direction what-so-ever. Nothing but my frustration at seeing all the other
races flow through Darsylon getting rich while my family preached about
living harmoniously with nature. All I want, really want is to be relatively
comfortable, wealthy, and powerful. Just enough of each so I can take care of
number one, me!

____Sadly now I feel that tug of servitude my family spoke of, having been
asked to aid my people against a marauding Dark Elf by captain Regalar was
thought invoking. The pride and honour I felt by being able to do his
bidding filled me with something I have not felt, self worth. Now I want
that as well as the rest! I want to be proud, I want to be respected, I want
to be honoured!
***Imm done little quest to smack a female Dark Elf assassin character. Fun to do! Thanks!

____I found a place where I just may be able to find all that, the Fortress
of the Light. After speaking with Jemr I know I could fit in and find myself
respected just not sure which aspect of the Fortress I should put my foot in.
While I am bold against those of similar rank, I find myself more than a
little apprehensive against those who outrank me. But again there is more
power to be had as a Maran than Acolyte. I will have to journey some more
and find a few allies I can use to help me get stronger then I can more
easily make my mind up.


Character: Pmenoa
Subject: Two steps forward, Three steps backward.
Added Sat Jun 18 16:43:14 2005 at level 32:
____Well I am a coward when it comes to facing multiple foes. Also I do not
know my craft well enough to feel any sort of confidence when facing Fire
Giants either. Damn it all, I hate the fact that they have all seemed to
have chosen to study swords. I have no edge, I have no insight on how to
fight them, and so far the best advice I have gotten was that I will need
frost blades to win against the Fire Giants. Not the biggest confidence
builder there. And to make matters worse I have no idea where to get the
potions, pills, and other things to make me more versatile and resilient in
battle.

___Ah, the Fortress of Light, a place where one day I could fit in but as
what? A Maran would be suitable to my more pro-active inclinations yet I
still want to work with others to ensure them that are worthy and will be
protected. This of course is so far away at this point I really can not see
if I even will be brave enough to apply, the way things currently are going.
I guess time will tell if I can find peace and renown.

____Damn it all! I have items, I have friends, I have wealth, and yet I am
still unfulfilled! This is so frustrating that I can not even put it into
words. I have items beyond my imagination, I have friends who support and
respect me, but I can not find any peace within me. I think Sessha summed it
up the best I have so many issues, with so little direction. I have
forgotten my parents, entirely, they move from the Vale near Darsylon and
never told me to where. I have forgotten my initial reason for leaving
Darsylon. I have not found answers but more and more questions.

I will post a couple replies with other characters.
Oh and to that player who started singing "My Pmenoa" way to make me shoot HOT tea out my nose! You rotter.
