Well I thought it was unique and not something totally out there - I could easily see the illithid wanting to infiltrate human society. I never ate food (always sate/quench) and ate every brain I could. I figured you didn't like it though so I just let it go after awhile. So much for trying something different.

Don't know what's so hard to understand about doing stuff that no one has done before, so they can be remembered. Ninety percent of the people I've met in the last six months I won't remember them three weeks after they delete - but the people who killed each Archdevil and made it to Satan are immortalized in CF history. I was trying to do something memorable and give people a memorable experience in CF....but I guess people are content to "in cabal, most kill/defend/raid". If you can't be a Cabdru, you have to explore...so maybe someday you can be a Cabdru

I'm curious what you would consider "good Hell leadership" then. I can't do much about like the thing with Llorenz (especially since I didn't even see it) or Ravon, but beyond that I think I did a great job of taking non-experts to Hell and accomplishing stuff each time I went.....not to mention trying to accomplish stuff in the hardest area of the game with 30hp heals. It's pretty hard to bring "proof" beyond 2 dead archdevils, 2 fought archdevils, and 6 explored circles of Hell when you have the abilities of a level 30 uncaballed character whose leading the top players of the time around....and from what I saw the only one coordinating that type of stuff (dealing with 2 sets of empire and scion groups). Half the people I took didn't even know the lore or what was going on, but I took them anyways.

I guess this is definitely where we differ from me being able to play when I have way too much time on my hands and having to wait to get skills that long (that arguably aren't much better than bards, especially in the solo department). I was empowered at level 18 on Nov 24th and in the next 100 hours and 20 days I saw you three times, pretty much involving "you suck, no go" each time. I should have just taken the hint earlier on I guess - not everyone plays as much as I and a few others do, but I should have taken that into consideration when picking a goal & Imm (Marcatis, why can't you have an evil religion ). You can blame the super fast leveling on a water shifter named Tiryl...without empowerment waiting at all it would have been a lot faster. When you're non-caballed in the thirties with your Immortal not around and you can't pk, it gets boring real fast.

I had my fun though and hoped I gave other people something to remember - I know I wasn't perfect on the religion but I was hoping I had enough to get at least full empowerment...guess not. If I did it again, I could probably get full empowerment as a cookie cutter to a religion - not sure I'd do it again though. I'd definitely have to play two characters at once so I don't get so impatient. Empowerment just doesn't seem worth it unless you get lucky with times/ideas. I can understand named priests and tattoes being rough, but empowerment I don't think should be so hard....
