Taelina: Always good fun bitching about you, you're a scary bard to fight and I know I'm lucky to have escaped most of your fiends. I seemed to have some great luck when it came to you fiending me and I never seemed to catch a strong one. Even when I was injured, I just had to feral growl and the thing would melt away after a few blows
There was a period I got really angry at you for literally camping in the village - It seemed to be all you did when logged on. But thankfully that passed and you were out-and-about places I could never damn well find you. The only reason I got you so much, was because Eshval had it in for Nano and he was determined to stalk you above all others because of it.

Vhloughvang: Damn you're tough! The only villager I could never really beat (besides Nuekar, striking made it impossible to do melee combat - and having his wimpy at 50% with wings and bandages meant I had to super-gank everytime). I had no luck trying to assassinate you and even worse luck trying to trance against you with all that damage you'd just soak up. Thirst pretty much ended a lot of my fights, as my maledictions would just disappear and I'd have to wait for fatigue to set in. That usually meant you were in the village by then, or I was a very irritated corpse :p

Nharrpos: Nice fights all around. There were times I'd giggle as I tranced, walked into your fire maces and knew damn well you'd still try the boneshatter and see how it went. Other times, I'd lose resist heat and be distracted long enough my trance would fall. Bash is still a scary tool, and doubly so when you can't even pray for an evade because your stats are shot!

Brinkmun: I got pretty tired of you quitting when you knew you'd been stalked. I was fine with the 'I'll just run about on the river' routine but you need to learn that there is more to life than walking the ragers circle of death. It wasn't that I was a great stalker (I was terrible) it was that you were so transparent and predictable I could kill you any time I wanted. At least now I'm gone, you can relax a bit more and enjoy fights you can see coming

Yean: Good luck upstairs! You were slightly more scary than Taelina because your songs were always damn painful. She had the surprisingly nasty melee damage but you had those one-shot annihilates (unspeaks if I had no fire resist) through my resist mental. Oh the pain. You also seemed really good at timing your fiends but again, I had some great luck avoiding a powerful one. Whew.

Eulinda: Urrrg, please just don't talk to me. You really made me cringe. I am surprised I managed to avoid sacrificing all your gear just because you annoyed the hell out of me. Some of us play this game to get away from the screaming of kids - not have to endure more of it :p Great fighting all around, deathblow wasn't as scary as when I'd have someone just bloodthirst away my maledicts but you seemed to have a lot more luck than any other berserker in landing one. Always when Vanguard wasn't working at its best too, damn it. Your legacy choices sort of intrigued me too, I guess it works but they struck me as odd when combined with your specs.

Ronauk: Always good fun fighting you, you started to come back towards the end but you took my blunt hits and crippling attacks really badly. You were the red headed step child of my villager pk list for a while there! Still fun interacting and you did kick my hide a few times, as well as got some really great kills solo that a lot of villagers would need help to do.

Hiel: Bleh. A Nuekar clone was not what I needed right about now. I had a plan to assassinate you and make sure it was painful but Taelina was always there next to you - and rp-wise a much riper target! Just hope there's some shine beneath that gnome exterior. For some reason, I'm yet to meet a gnome warrior that really convinces me anyone should be able to pick that race-guild combo. Sort of like svirfs and mages, but I have even more trouble picturing one. Also, that legacy stacks way too quickly. As shown, even hasted against a slowed opponent it would trumpy me, cut through my damage reduction and take me to town by stopping me from fleeing. Ridiculously powerful.

Asoa: Punk talking got you into big trouble. You were pwning at the levels thug thieves do - but hero is a whole different game. Once you hit hero, I repaid every bad comment you made in pain

Yuvralin: A toughie but thankfully all my skills are blunt attacks. Usually a well timed owaza meant death - I got the feeling you took a hit more in the pride than the con most of the time. Learn to relax, and just enjoy the lows as much as the highs!

Trurkrag: At first, I thought 'Entropy character signed up for Battle' - then I realised you did have a bit more depth than screaming Todgar! and lightened up. You were fun to interact with, and it was always amusing to hear you screaming after people on the eastern road. Thanks for the fun fights too.

Drakgrak: Always a good fight and sometimes you seemed a little too willing. Even as a tough-ass villager there's going to be situations that lone foe is still going to have your number. Stun and run before I've messed you up so badly you can't :p Still kicked my ass when I wasn't prepped though, and damn could entwine get me in trouble.


Aramonk: Some of my first stylish assassinating was done on you. I think if you'd stuck it out, you would have done better overall. You definetly picked up at some point and started fighting smarter. And you had nearly as bad a 'fire and ice' as Yean. Damn one song kills!

Thrak: I keep picturing you as an orc, damn it. We seemed to have it either go one way or the other in our fights, I don't think there were any close ones. Either you knew I was going to eat you alive, or I'd fail a skill/forget a prep and suddenly see my doom in those axes. Always a fun fight and hearty interaction.

- I'm sure I've missed villagers, sorry if I have. There's just too many damn names to remember! Either I'll remember eventually or just post a reply and my memory will jog into position.


Here's the rest of the world:

Kanaev: You're a scary as hell Scion. A larger part of the reason I never bothered stalking you, because I knew it'd come back in nightgaunt form and I'd regret it. Which I think it did, once or twice. Really painful to get bashed down by you and that giant when I was already painfully low on support (it was me and a lowbie or two) and the Balance was completely out of whack. Grrrr.

Edimus: You took the brunt of my wrath because the other Scion was scary/too good an ally. It really hurt you, but it made me laugh how off-hand Kanaev was about you dying. 'You know, thats really rather irritating.' but the undertone was 'At least you weren't trying that with me! I'd have full looted your fuzzy hide.' Evilicious!

Maethron: Great fun chatting, I loved the whole 'thiefy chat' thing I had going with all you guys in the shadows and you were my number two buddy. You also cemented the name Man-decirith forever with your tip-off! So many people were laughing their asses off at how Nano played that one out. I even got imm-exped for it!

Myrakie: You were a life long friend and deserve a lot of credit for helping shape my character. Pack-mates forever! I'm glad I shared so much of the fun times with you.

Halistanis: Not sure why you got kicked but I'm curious. At least you weren't as thick headed as Enarn about 'war' and stuff. I tried to get you to understand Nexus felarsophy as I'd picked it up. That yeah, we were going to fight you. But there are always going to be times when that either: 1. Keeps you afloat, there's no one else to fight otherwise or their all too easy for a camping druid and his gang. 2. You really need someone to help you raid against those three-four tribunal. Most of the time, I just weakened the captain with tiger claw and didn't bother to tell you (well, 'you' as in 'the outlanders').

Jrhurg: Can we say, 'murder druid'? Same idea, different class. The depth of your character seemed to be 'Jrhurg kill!' and it wasn't so much bad roleplay as really boring.

Man-decirith: I know you'll hate me for it, but I pretty much was making fun of you behind your back to the entire mud Sorry about that, but it really scared Nano that you might one day look like a willing date and the next be so unappetising that he was scraping his tongue and dry-heaving at the thought of what could have happened. Thanks for the awesome interaction over the war and stuff too. Some cool fights ontop of that, a well rounded character.

Enarn: Looked like a cool character but so hard to tell under all the 'You're not Fortress - I'm aggressive as hell toward you' mentality. I'm sure its a valid Maran role but to a lot of us it looked really bad *boggle* Especially when you just wouldn't understand Nexus' place in things. We can either make your life bad, or the way you did it, we can make it a lot worse.

Kharg: You're awesome. Even when you bashed me down when I thought I was being smart hiding in foresty areas, you're awesome. Sorta proud you got at least four charges out of my scrawny hide, my pk record must have been slipping bad toward the end. Going through 14-15 con as a leader is pretty impressive for me at least, as a non-rager!

Hunsobo: You make me giggle, and always seemed to be decked out. You have no idea how much I would have loved to finally land an assassinate so I could steal a human sunder I sorta knew it might have marred our relationship though, and being Iunnalady buddies I didn't want that as much as I wanted the sword anyhoo. I seriously had you close to being assassinated a good 5-6 times and you'd always slip away just as I thought 'Its time!'. Damn it!

Nip seller: Progglesnort was a relaxed, fun character to be around. You don't have to have amazing skills or somekind of super-power - all you need is heart. You are the eternal proof of that and are my hero because of it. Thanks! And I hope I run into you again in the fields. The day you actually gave me catnip, I was guffawing and like 'Awesome!!' behind the monitor.
