This was good ride that started from just an idea to take a look at conjurers, the class I've never been trying before. And ended up with some kind of serious character (at least for me).

Thanks to all I interacted with! Especially to Morius. I doubt I will ever forget induction into Scions, that was hell of a quest, thank you!

It seems our playtimes were totally incompatible. I'm glad Morius found you. That said, how did you find evil conjies these days?

Yeah, seems so. But I'd like to!
Evil conjies are.. playable. Just not my cup of tea. I mean I enjoyed to explore the class, but doubtfully I'll choose it again. I really got tired of endless conjuring and I just don't get how people manage to keep handling it for hundreds hours. May be I was doing it wrong though.

It seemed like you were always OOC pissed off, and I have no idea why.

I consider myself a pretty classy, non-powergamey player.. but it seemed like you were constantly looking for an excuse to complain about something.

Case in point:
Village had the Scepter for a while and you didn't attempt to retrieve (I was only defender). Understandable, since fighting at the giant is pretty dangerous for you. I had to do a quick log-off to deal with family stuff (because I didn't want to go AFK with a pending reraid coming). Anyway, I came back probably 5-10 min later and you were hitting the village outer.

I felt bad, so I actually sent you a tell. Something about giving you one chance to run away, then waiting a tick or so.

You got away (obviously), then proceeded to whine about "Convenient timing" or whatever. I honestly don't know how I could have handled that better for all parties involved. Keep in mind, I could have immediately sprinted over there and started cranialing and had a decent chance of killing you.. but I didn't.

That wasn't the only example, just the most obvious.

My advice: Stop looking for the worst possible scenario, and start to imagine the players on the other end of your character's enemies. We're all just people, playing a game and juggling real life. Sometimes stuff happens. Focus on having fun, rather than assuming the absolute worst.

Well, okay, thanks. I guess this should be someone else to explain how does this 5min relogin looks like in certain circumstances, cause I'm whining. But props for handling it like you did.

On the other hand I liked Tharuli. One of the brightest highlights in the lifetime of this character. Very well done.

Yeah, I know exactly how it looked. That's why I sent you a tell and waited, instead of just running in. Honestly, it kind of irritated me that you complained about it AFTER I gave you the warning.

Honestly.. that was just my impression of Zinoza in general though. Maybe it was RP, but it just felt like you were always OOC angry about something.
