Almost sickening, really. Never thought I was callous, though...
And yes, before anyone else rakes me over the coals, I'm a recovering cheater. Its a horrible thing to do, and although I promised myself I wouldn't do it with this character, I did twice. Cut link/reconnected so I get wipe my commands in a pk fight where I was getting lagged so I could recall. Yeah well, Manarei still got me, and Asgaard didn't like it the second time. That being said, I loved playing a Paladin, even though some could argue that I didn't really _play_ a Paladin. First good character ever, and I was leary about trying it. Even without virtues, they can be machines... with the right gear of course. Which I invested almost every ounce of my time into getting. Was it worth it? Yeah, I guess. I could make (almost) anyone run like dogs one on one once I had my #####. Some would still whack me, like that damn shark of Iillien's or Tilaen on occasion (was always in the bloody Chasm, though). I wish there was some other version of the Paladin where I could go out collecting all the neat gear I wanted no matter how many people died and still have all the badass supplications and skills. Yeah right. In any case, here's the goodbyes.

Pals:

Fristapholin, we made a good exploring team! Will miss the opportunity we had...

Loranessa, had a lot of fun beating ass. And making fun of your french floosy accent! Ha!

Nefahrin, same with Fristapholin, except that you offered an entirely different edge to it. We should've all got together sometime... gimme them damn bracelets!

Daurwyn and Anborankein, didn't know you two very well. Just fought together. Good enough for me. Gets me gear. Oh wait, that was the problem wasn't it?

Kadeem, you turned into quite a trip there, ya know?

Only Maran I travelled with was this totally dumb broad named Sancella. I don't believe I've ever met such an empowered klutz before.

Foes:
Had more of these than friends... suprise suprise.
When I first heroed Scions were at a lull. I was happy. I said to myself, 'Hey! No Scions! I'll get gear!'. Too bad that mentality carried itself well beyond the line.

Bah, you're all pretty much worth mentioning, but I won't. Oh well.

I don't know how many of you like to play this game to express your inner child or some other bullhonky like that, but I'm here to win. And even though I don't want to use ooc means to do that anymore, it doesn't mean that I don't want to walk around sub-geared running from my foes because they've got the best ##### in the world. And even if they don't, I want an edge. So phooy to all you folks that managed to get yourself killed getting that damnned blade (well, I died too, poo on me), but why did it take so long to get me unempowered? I was gear-crazy from day one! Only 279 hours or so... could've given me a clue earlier you bastards.

Well anyway, I now know that Paladins are the #####. And I'm not going back to anything else but those guys for awhile. And this time... I'll do it right.
