Mon May 23 16:46:24 2016

At 1 o'clock PM, Day of the Moon, 28th of the Month of the Battle
on the Theran calendar Daphedee perished, never to return.

I told myself I'd never CF again until I moved to the west coast, and here we are.
This was supposed to be a throwaway character, elf transmuter #596201. I guess I
failed at that.

A hybrid of pop culture, Daphedee was based on Kimmy Schmidt, modeled after Sarah
Blackwood, named after Dee from Always Sunny, and ended up a lot more like Laura
Palmer.

Side note: I'd never age died with a character, and man did I pick a doozy of a race
to do it with. I had NO idea it would be so long.

On neutrality:

I don't know why this took so long. Daphedee's outlook on life was just to see the
good in most people, which ultimately meant she lived in a very aura-blind world.
I think I utilized a detect evil prep once, but mostly played the game that if you
were friendly to me, I could be friendly to you in an ideal world. I think I managed
to skirt the line decently early on, but how the align hammer didn't come down on me
after giving Gaspare one of his lich quest items is beyond me. Better late than never?

...Goodbyes to follow...

Raltevio: Thanks for everything. You definitely seemed a little lost at times during
the beginning of running Herald, but you were in good hands. Grateful for the
chats here and there, and your presence was always inspiring. Also thanks for the RC
prize. In a day and age of people demanding edge points and legacies, it was great
to get a prize that had pretty much no impact on gameplay beyond RP capacity, and
isn't that what roles are all about?

SONGS:
Garden of Simple - Ani Difranco
Two Step - Dave Matthews Band
Stable Song - Death Cab For Cutie

Umiron: Thanks for the chat about magic and life, and giving me the ability to be
useful for the last 50ish hours or so. Much to the chagrin of Ragers everywhere.

You bet. Don't be a stranger.

EDIT: P.S., I think you've posted the titles to more songs than I've ever heard, let alone could distinctly remember.

If it makes you feel better, I've already added two more songs to the list.

Thanks for the echoes, I think that's about the best ending Daphedee
could have hoped for.

So that was a pretty long-lived character, huh?

First there was Daph and Khazhrim. Then Daph and Sindrir. Then we had Daph and Gaspare. Daphedee had an ability to engage other characters (see: players) in a fun and entertaining way, bring out the best in them and generally make life better for everyone. You'll be missed.

I think my most fond times of Daphedee were probably the early sessions with Xoog, Daph and Khaz- then Khaz, Daph and Bildot. The adventure with Miakoda claiming to be a powerful sorceress with a particular progged item. And of course, much of the Daph and Gaspare story arc.

You're welcome for the RC prize. With the RC prize, as I recall, I was complaining to an Imm that it was going to appear that I was rewarding one of the (Herald) tribe- something that I was quite consciously trying to make an effort NOT to do. Your role really was good though. And I'm just glad Gaspare entered the month after. To my knowledge that character is still the only character with a top role rating from me.

Obviously senior staff okay'd the tattoo idea and Umi did the coding on it. I just wrote the desc. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. Going cosmetic over mechanical rewards is a bit of a gambit.

You're welcome on the death echoes. (Thanks to Deorm for making those happen.)

And some rough times too. I'll miss all of it though. Maybe we'll do this again sometime, eh?

Not even a shout out to me for the last second paying my respects there at the end? Anyway, good character, had fun watching you... and as you spent a lot of time around my followers, I did watch you a bit. Glad I could do the echoes for you at the end and glad I was able to pop down and give you my thanks then too. Good luck in the future.

D'oh, whoops. I'm sure I forgot tons of people if it makes you feel better.

But we did run into each other a few times and I have nothing but good things to say about those meetings. You were also very welcoming on the few occasions I showed up at the shrine with some of your other followers. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad to see you playing again. Good luck again with the next.

I still don't know how I got inducted. I didn't have much direction or a grasp on
what the RP would be, but thanks Whiysdan for taking a chance.
SONG: Ode To My Family - The Cranberries

Khazhrim: My induct-twin! We had a lot of good adventures and you made for one hell
of a stubborn dwarf. You took a lot of beatings from getting kicked out of Herald
for being too paladin-y, to losing empowerment/getting turned neutral for not being
paladin-y enough. I'm glad you stuck out the first one, and understand not sticking
out the second. Raising a glass of warm delicious.
SONG: Firework - Katy Perry

Xoog (Al): I always remember that time we were exploring Mal'trakis with I think,
Whistner? I was sure we were all going to die. You were a great presence and explore
partner, even though half the time I was sure you were off killing good aligned mobs
with evils. Innperial Thread Lord, FTW. Also those plush bears were forever named
Xoog bears after that.

Arden: I wish we had crossed paths more, but I liked your solid good-natured persona
and your terrible ability to pick Imperial councils. I think I kept the paint brushes
you left at the Inn until the very end.

Miakoda: So many good adventures. Sorry about the Eighth Circle. Glad we could have
our girl talk sessions, usually about Adira, haha. So many good times at the bar
with Dundlin too. It was sad to see you disappear, and I still absolutely love that
hey nonny song of yours. One of my favorites.
SONGS:
If He Tries Anything - Ani Difranco
The Wolf - Mumford & Sons
Masochist - Ingrid Michaelson

Kowelu: Sometimes creepy, sometimes nice, always willing to throw down in the name
of Heralds. We had some good early morning chats
SONG: A Lack of Color - Death Cab For Cutie

Olo: Damn do you know your way around this game. Thanks for being our intrepid
guide through the Inferno, and helping me get that quest item for Gaspare.

Bildot: We had some great adventures - and you came a long way with your weird
initial cooking skills. Sorry your Healing Center didn't really pan out the way
you wanted. It was a neat idea.

Whildur: How can you rhyme all of the time? It's crazy. Solid presence that has the
ability to draw people into Herald. If even half those plans of yours mentioned at
Raltevio's shrine come to fruition, it'd be awesome. Hope you make it to Satan one
of these days and finish your Hell-inspired song collection. Thanks for the Daphedee
a-whandering travel tunes you sang lately, they were really sweet.
SONG: Hands - Jewel

Renize: I can't believe I gave up leader hours for you and you still died before I
did. WTF. I loved your creative decor and the Celestial Exhibitions were a great way
to get people involved who might not otherwise be inclined. You put up with a pretty
mopey Daphedee so thanks for doing what you could and being a friend.
SONGS:
Us - Regina Spektor
The Golden Girls Theme Song

1100 hours is nothing. I would have used it all up in 5-6 months at best, and still complained about it being not enough. Too bad I don't enjoy playing necromancers.

Anyway, musical goodbyes yay! I hope more people get in on the idea. Enjoy a break and play an arial bard, spiritual successor to Skeeta.

Some of us can't play CF for 5-6 hours a day.

You were terrific. My favorite traveling companion, and not just because you were a transmuter, that's not even in the consideration for reasons. You were fun and uplifting while being real and honest at the same time, very cool. I had some issues in life that sapped my resolve to RP, hence the fading away. I still regret it because Miakoda was one of my favorite characters to play of all time and Daphedee had a lot to do with that. Three cheers for a great character!

Your song:
Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

It's always sad to see people fade away, and you were definitely one of those people on the long list of the missed/mourned. That whole gauntlet thing with Sodsob was stupid annoying too. Maybe we'll do this again sometime eh?

You'll never have the gauntlets, Sadsop!

I can't say enough good things, but I would like to echo Sindrir's comment that CF is a better place with you in it. Your presence was one of the few that was essential to making my throwaway thief #43953 into a long-lived and enjoyable experience. Young Renize just wanted to make you proud, and old Renize just wanted you to be happy. Congrats on the age death. I'm glad you had fun. I did too.

We're good at playing characters together. What a refreshing experience for you to not have to deal with me as an IMM, haha.

Sorry I couldn't get that Celestial Exhibition up and running for you. It's now Whildur's problem.

I think I can count on one hand the number of times I was attacked/murdered
by Empire, at least in recent memory. Overall we had a pretty solid relationship
thanks to Sindrir, and I rode those coattails for as long as possible. I was a lot
more proactive about being involved in the Imperial political scene early on, but
as people started to die/delete, starting over and trying to establish myself as an
"ally" became harder and harder. This was probably the closest thing to an Imperial
I'll ever play.
SONG: Team - Lorde.

Sindrir: You were the catalyst that made this something other than just throwaway
elf #78503. Manipulative, threatening, and protective all at the same time, it was
the perfect recipe for infecting Daph with Stockholm Syndrome. Your creepy, constant
presence in the Shadowed Alcove became a comfort. I wish I had a log of drawing the
Emperor card from the Deck of Fate that day - it couldn't have played out more
perfectly. As promised, I never drew from the deck again. Also, thanks for teaching
me about politics and in general being my gateway drug to Empire.

Gaspare: You were without a doubt the most important person in Daphedee's world,
and probably the most devastating. Couldn't have asked for a better counterpart with
whom to play out hundreds of hours of misery and anguish, and have it be so fun and
rewarding. You were Daph's absolute best friend and unspoken love of her life. Your
becoming sickness RP was some of my favorite stuff, creepy and sad, and the Raltevio
betrayal and fallout that followed was heartbreaking for Daph. And to anyone that
interacted with Daph after your deletion can attest - she became a shell compared to
what she once was. A lot of people obsess over IMMteraction and XP, but it's
characters like this that make the game an unpredictable journey and worthwhile
timesink. Thanks for all of it, and I'll post some ARRRRPEEE logs if anyone is
interested.

Caecilius: Remember when you were just a young Imperial upstart and were willing to
interact with people and weren't so god damned busy? I liked that guy. The higher up
the ladder you moved, the less give and take I got from you. Sad panda.

Golthazar: We stopped running into each other as often, but I always liked it when
you stopped by the Inn for a chat. I'm sorry I never got you grog as promised - I
don't know why all the containers have to be iron. Thanks for giving me the
nudges I needed when I needed them, whether it was not giving up on Gaspare, or
dragging me out to look for charms? when all I wanted was to just mope around. I
hope you win the vote; the Empire could use a good woman on the throne.

Darvoderis: I loved that you went from the guy who got demoted for not being able to
explain how you weren't average, to High Priest to Emperor. Your depth of RP wasn't
the strongest, but I loved your stick-to-it-ness and was glad to see you on the
throne.

Crizus: I really, really, really hated that you deleted. I had so much fun being
being your speech tutor and helping you achieve your Imperial dreams. I think you
could've gone far if you'd stuck it out.

Sulneng: You were quiet and not very evil, and I liked that. You didn't seem to have
much aspiration for the throne though, and ultimately I can see why you decided
continuing the character wasn't for the best.

Thank you for giving me the push to try for Emperor when every logical part of me just wanted to delete. My only regret is that we didn't have more time together. Along with Kregan you were the most important piece to the Sindrir puzzle.

Also I really appreciated all the cave viper crystals you'd leave in my alcove. It brought a smile to my face every time I'd wander through the Inn with a lowbie.

Don't disappear for years again. CF is a better place with you.

>Don't disappear for years again. CF is a better place with
>you.

I make no promises. It was a good run, but an exhausting one.

You creepy bitch

Really great job, as I told you many times over with my interactions with many characters.

It's a testament to your role-playing ability AND being a long-lived character that all of them had different opinions/interactions with you (including my one goodie who kinda hated on you and threatened the Empire constantly over their "corruption" of you).

g vibrant girdle;
drop vibrant;
g candles girdle;
drop candles

I guarantee I have better logs than that, and I'll see what I can do. I might even have that gold digger accusation logged.

So, so, so great.

For a long stretch of Gaspare's "life," you were a primary reason I looked forward to logging on. If you're looking for permission, you can post any logs you have of me. You really inspired me to up my RP game and we played off of one another very well. It was cool to see how weirdly complementary our roles were -- we even had the same sphere, which I don't think I realized until after I liched. You're a blast.

Also, I just can't even fathom the effort and energy it must have taken to make and place all of those items every logon, even after the characters they paid tribute to were long gone.

I loved the death echoes, by the way. It was kind of beautiful, kind of tragic, and thoroughly fitting for Daphedee.

Thanks so much for the many hours of fun and for making the game a better place for everyone who crossed your path.

I've interacted with almost every lich in this game in some capacity, and Gaspare was by far my favorite. No small feat.

Is thanks....er..

Thank you for all the fun!

You rocked. Where's my song? lol

>You rocked. Where's my song? lol

Uhhh.

I didn't interact with a ton of you, but:

Aufang: You were a cool cat. One of the first people I worked with re: tailed star
quest. I wish I could remember more about our interactions but that was ####ing
forever ago. I just remember thinking you were awesome.

Dundlin: Three musketeers! I loved all our stupid gossipy chats at the Inn with Mia,
or hanging out with you and Gaspare. Remember when you asked me to marry you?
Haha. Good times.

Thanks for the shout out because that was ####ing forever ago. I wish we could have progressed more in that quest but trying a go at it on your side was just great.

I also want to thank you for the buffs those times I decided to take on the Village (which was always!)

I played a Villager after Aufang, Terxaxous, and remember letting my fandom for Daphedee bleed through a bit. I don't recall fighting you or having opportunity to do so but I didn't go looking for you and I even tried to RP a standoffish villager with you at the inn a time(and not attack which I think you may have expected me too) .

I also had a short lived squire, Arandalok, that we had some interaction with that I thought was great. You kind of betrayed his confidence a bit when he inquired of you about the elf healer turned bad. I didn't know it at the time but I think this was around your alignment transition. It made for an interesting situation I think because Arandalok had to learn that things aren't always as they seem and perhaps he shouldn't be too trusting even with those of the light. I thought it was cool that you took the time to approach him later to discuss it further, even though he was just some mid range character.

Just all around awesomeness. Well done!

I specifically remember that time you came to the inn with Terxaxous and I just wasn't sure what you'd do - I've seen ragers go both ways from being respectful to being there to get the job done.

I actually really liked Arandalok and was kinda looking forward to seeing how that whole dynamic played itself out, but you disappeared. IIRC, I think I was still good aligned at the time.

I had tons of fun with you as Dundlin. You kept me in the loop with a lot of things and kept me from getting bored when things were down or slow. I probably wouldn't have played him nearly as long as I did if you weren't around.You and a few others made the Inn feel like a home away from home. I wasn't sure what to expect after coming back to the game from a long hiatus. I never felt all that confident about role-playing but you(and Gaspare) made it so easy and fun. Thank you thank you thank you for making the experience that much more special.

P.S. Even though I was trying to be drunk and joking around you should have accepted my proposal.=p

And one particular performance early on with Gaspare and the becoming sickness, and you had some hilarious things to say about the liching process, which I'll post at some point. But man, you were missed and it sucked for Daph that both of you disappeared/deleted around the same time.

Urgandtol: I'm not sure who was more surprised at Sindrir's attempt to rescue me
from you in the alcove, you or me. As it turns out, I didn't die in a fire, or choke
on a pillow, but I never took it personally when you told me to. You were a cool
presence.

Varnon: Ugh, you were so annoying. That time you bludgeoned your way into the bar
and then killed Maellina, it was somewhat satisfying watching you get escorted out
of the Lyceum repeatedly because you weren't vouched, haha.

Grimghal: When you killed me at the bar for hugging you, that was ####ing hilarious.
You were a beast to watch (I sure love duo for this), and I'm glad you were usually
well mannered at the Inn. Thanks for giving me that poncho of Melissa after I told
you where to find her, it was a surprise but a nice gift nonetheless for a mage who
had just lost all her magic. Also, you know you loved that painting.
SONGS:
Shankill Butchers - Sarah Jarosz
Glory and Gore - Lorde.

Hah, we almost always have a good relationship. From Ghrummin to Grimghal, loved both your immortal and mortal characters. And yes, I loved that painting ... but Grim can't be a softy to mages you know!

Well done! Maybe I'll return in some incarnation or something. Also, I'm in SF area of California. If you ever stop by, hit me up for a drink!

I'm kind of a sucker for characters that start with G, aren't I.

Jeez I'm surprised you remembered Urgandtol - pretty sure that char was from well over a year ago. Shows how long-lived Daphedee was!

And yeah I actually thought Sindrir might do that - not to save you, but to kill me (relatively cheap frag if he does enough damage quickly enough). I sure didn't expect him to do it to save an elf, though, which I believe is what his true reason was.

So well done.

I had to come after the peace loving magi high herald of the inn, when I was in battle (later commander) and a follower of the evil god of war.

My own regret is not getting you.

Tanzer: One of the first people to help me get back on my feet when I got turned
neutral, you became a fast friend and enjoyable companion. Wish we had a chance to
run around together with spells! Good luck up there in IMMland. Can't wait to see
what sort of religion you end up with.
SONGS:
No Myth - Michael Penn
Dancer - Queen
The Greatest American Hero theme song.

Dionis: I thought you were a total weirdo at the onset, but eventually softened my
perspective on your sad quest to win Miakoda over. In a lot of ways, it was a
situation to which Daph could relate.

Adira: Ugh, you were a creep, which I guess is good in a Nightreaver? I hoped you
had actual feelings for Miakoda but had my doubts.
SONG: Mosquito - Ingrid Michaelson

Bilgritik: We had some good times before I got turned neutral. After that, you kind
of disappeared from Daphedee's life. I blame your girlfriend. Tanzer knows what I'm
talking about.

Yeah, you got turned neutral and when I found out the reasons, I was pretty distraught. This was also about the point I got tatt'd and received Life's Champion, so my perspective on the only good Lich is a re-dead lich, and you were not working to the same cause.

That, and I didn't have my haste/slow on a stick any more.. so the usefulness factor waned, I was selfish with my time.

One of the driving forces in Tanzer's life, thank you for always raising the bar RP-wise with all of us secret Heralds.

All around top notch, awesome job and one of my favorite characters of all time.

I was playing a different character when all of the Innperial stuff was going on, but one of my goals in rolling up Tanzer was to interact with the person who came up with all that stuff.

You will be missed.

Creepy evil was the vibe I was going for. From what I understand, I do this well. That, and chaotic stupid.

As for Miakoda - if you care, you can read the role.

I tried so hard to get you caught up in one of my many lies, just so I could kill you. It was difficult at times not to mix knowledge, because I had a herald, but I think I kept it pretty compartmentalized.

But, you were too paranoid, and that kept you alive.

I've known Daphadee through a couple of characters, including Altrana(Fort), Kieriel (Herald), and Kyrenthia (Outlander).

You are one of the best RP'ed non-pk chars I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.. You make it feel like its personal - which is very hard to do in a non-personal 2d text game.

You should be writing childrens books or something.

Enjoy life.

I gave up on Fortress after many attempts to convince cabal members to stop by the
Inn/interact - which led Daph to seek out people who WOULD interact with her, (see:
Empire). So congrats on that guys, lolz. There were a handful of times I was grouped
with Lithodora and/or Errylk discussing plans to intercept Golthazar's attempts at
retrieval at the Tree, and I absolutely warned Golthazar about it. Yup.
SONGS:
Where Is The Love? - Black Eyed Peas
You Don't Know Me - Ben Folds

Luthantulas: You were like a big brother that Daphedee hid all her secrets from,
but still let him think she was a sweet little sister. Never did come down for that
last glass of wine. Good luck with IMMdom.

Seayon: Far and away the best Acolyte I interacted with. You were kind, willing to
listen, understanding, and a warm presence to be around. Despite your odd hours,
your deletion was a huge loss to Fort in my book.

Liffy: You were probably the first person to accuse Daph of being an Imperial
defender/sympathizer. Other than that, I thought you were a total nutter.

Errylk: Thanks for checking in on me. So few of the Fortress did this, that it
really stood out.

Gulrom: I was sad to see you delete. Similar feelings about you as Seayon. I'm not
sure where that unprompted quote came from ("You can do the impossible because
you've been through the unimaginable"), but it was exactly what Daph needed to hear.
Thanks for being a solid, good presence who still cared about a neutral elf.

Balgrum: I'm so glad to see you get Cardinal. You're a fun-loving dwarf with a heart
of gold, who goes out of his way to help people become better. Congrats!

NT

Ever since Luth was a mortal, I would duck about fights and take advantage of you near by. Luth had grown to like you, except with your dealing with empire in the Inn (which is why he was permanently banned. I can't say that the feelings he had for you were like a sister, but they were not to the extreme of love interest either. I can say Luth cared and worried for you.

I would have loved to have come down for those drinks, but you know what is levied on Heroimms, so there was that. I did my best to try and RP a reason for me to not be able to make it.

I'm glad you worked your way back to CF, you were an inspirational character of perseverance and RP.

GLWYN - I doubt it will be another 1200 hour one though.

Oh my goodness! You were incredible. The cast of Herald over the course of this characters life has been nothing short of phenomenal. I really struggled in my earlier years with my RP, and how to roleplay this shaman of Mercy, but thanks to you and renize and whildur and hamzah and all the other great heralds, I managed to find just having conversations with people was infinitely more interesting than trying to PK, esspecially as an acolyte. You and Renize both encouraged me with the celestial exhibition, and I think that my entry is what really helped solidfy my role, and how I was going to play my character! It will be tough out there without your support! Please role something else, your presence in the game is just totally needed. Thanks for all the good times, and the Thror doll incident with Zermon will by far remain one of my favorite moments!

>Errylk: Thanks for checking in on me. So few of the Fortress
>did this, that it
>really stood out.

Man, you REALLY must have been largely ignored by Fort if Errylk is one of the ones you mention in a goodbye. I tried to get in on the quest-action that was involving you, but I think my (lack of) hours made it tough for the Imm(s) running things to really make any good solid use of me.

Was fun though. Great character. GLWYN.

What a fantastic character, so many angles and dimensions came through whenever you were about, it was truly a pleasure to interact with you. Seems Seayon was only around for a few of the many interesting parts of Daph's life, I wish I could have gotten to find out more about it all but as you said I do hold some strange hours. Thanks for challenging and inspiring me become a more diverse RP'er, it has been a long time since the last and it really got me into the game again.

Anyhow, don't mean to ramble! Good luck with whatever comes next, I am sure it'll be just as epic!

Seayon.

Jeede: I wish we'd gotten to interact more over the course of the last year. You
seem like a really interesting character, and I think in light of Gaspare's final
plans, we could've hit it off. Thanks for letting me sit in on that conversation
with Jino.

Cainasir: A shame you got banned from the Inn. It was damn near impossible for us
to interact after that. Your input of "You shouldn't love something so much you
can't stand to see it die" enlightened Daph as to why she helped Gaspare with his
lich quest that she might not have otherwise realized.

Jinoquio: You're an odd duck, but I kinda like it.

Selionar: Greets to ye small lady! You were always a solid presence early on, but
seemed to fizzle later. Always missed seeing you around.

Hitrilipimi: Thanks for biting the bullet in the Eighth Circle. I'm pretty sure Olo was
ready to throw Bromgrin under the bus. :p

Laeden: One of my favorite later-year moments was that story about love and madness
you told to me, Gaspare, and Dionis. I think I have it logged somewhere. I'll probably post
it at some point.

GRINNING SKULL:

Worthag: I hope you live forever. Loved interacting with you. Hope someone can get
your problem fixed.

Ghrakzub: Never thought I'd end up stringing along an orc. Whoops. Sorry to dash
your dreams. :p

I see what you did there.

Say it ain't so. The Inn has been quiet since Renize left and now with you gone. Ugh. Not to mention the plan for restoring balance is losing allies. I always enjoyed our conversations and your encouragement.
