And to be honest, I didn't hold that against you at all. I just refused to call you an illithid, or deal with that part of your role.

As I said before. It screams generic BS to me. I've had enough people come through my empowerment doors to know when someone gets it. You basically told me, I'm going to do stuff, now empower me! Give me specifics, make a bold statement, something...anything. Once again Sedos said it best "I am still not clear on what you say you will do." I'm not the only one who wasn't getting it.

Typing "group" and seeing your name at the top isn't leading, and it really felt like that's what you thought much of the time. Watching you travel with the Scions, you were a means to their end, nothing more. They weren't listening to you, they were listening to Ravon (and not even all of them were doing that). The best I saw of you was leading the non-caballed/Herald group and making it somewhere, and yet...your groupmates still talked behind your back and via prays that you were not a leader. I really wanted to see what happened with the Imperial vs. Scion groups you kept trying to get together and lead. It was not going to end well for you.

You saw me 3 times in 20 days, but I saw you much more and you still had done nothing to impress me. People have said it, I'm very difficult at empowerment and not a lot of folks try me or my religion, and I'm fine with that. It gets even more boring when your role is based on accomplishing something as a hero level character and nothing else.

The fact you got empowered at all is testament to it not being hard. I sure as hell am not going to fully empower anyone who can't even provide a basic understanding of the religion they're after (or the sphere they are focused on) and you did neither.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
