At 7 o'clock AM, Day of the Moon, 35th of the Month of Nature
on the Theran calendar Ganndretia perished, never to return.

So I suppose I should write some goodbyes. Man what a ride. I like the build,
but like I said on Discord, I seem to be the only one out there who can CONDie
some of the most resilient builds. I hope it was fun for everyone to kick me
around.

IMMS:
Rahs - You get first mention because of the Contest. I feel bad, never really
felt I lived up to the role you had, which was such a fun role to do. I could
probably have done better as an Elf monk, but I really felt like I only got
skin deep on what you had.

Azorinne - where to go.... First and Foremost, I liked your RP, it was engaging
and fun to be around. I don't feel like I got the religion as much as I could/
should have. I hope I was at least part of the way there. Second, man, your
first choice for Virtue was harsh for my build. It was a huge mana suck, and
just wasn't even close to an optimal choice for the build. Then waiting so
long to get the second virtue, it was just rough. I didn't feel like I could
navigate what you really wanted until I came right out and asked. Then the
idea was given, and I was like well I did that like 2-3 times before but
ok, now I gotta go find a lowbie and do it again... It really felt forced.
I know its all new to everyone, but maybe a bit more structure and not waiting
quite so long to progress through first virtue to second to Tatt. Just my
$0.02

Friends:
I'm going to miss people here, there were so many of you. I'm sorry ahead,
post and I will try to respond.

Umbrand: MAN, you were great. One of the best Aco's I've played with, top
2 or 3 for sure. I hope I made your ride as fun as you made mine.

Dollerveim: Man you were so frustrating and fun at the the same time. I get
it, I've played a goodie in Trib, Its a rough row to hoe for sure. You were
interesting, Can't wait to see what your progress looks like.

Ranil: My brother from another mother. I was soooo mad at you when you
came back to that retrieval and died. I was like CRAAAAP. We had great
fights together, wish we could have been more

Ahrloire: Man it makes more sense now. I wish I had delved deeper, but
as I said I didn't play my role nearly as well as I could/should have.

Invokers: There were two of you at the same time, Sertif and Ra-something.
you were great to have around, even though we had some challenges in getting
coordinated.

Minverna: My little Sister, you were a bright spot in a dreary world. Man you
deletion hit hard.

Frenemies:
Primdella, to be clear, after stepping down, Gann tollerated you more, but
we were never going to be friends. She was soooooo mad at the percieved
hypocrisy. One of my favorite moments was healing that Druid so he could
retrieve and having you get mad.

Enemies:

Vrimold: You made things interesting. If for nothing else then I knew I
was going to get PK action when you were on. I was glad it didn't feel
so onesided as you progressed.

Zydeki: You were rough because we didn't start fighting until Gann was in
the Single digits for CON, and malice made me have to pause a lot more. My
only feedback would be around the Enemy RP. You were way too cozy to be an
enemy. And for the record I didn't like trib either, so anytime you thought
we were working together, With maybe one exception, was just cooincidents.
In fact I can remember getting threatened with a warrant for opening a door
when Prim was trying to Gaunt you.

Kira: Good lord, you had a talent for catching me totally unprepped and
not ready for you 100% of the time. I'm sure your RP was good, but man
I hated fighting you because it was so frustrating. If I was going to
get you to stay, I had to underprep, which meant I was not getting you,
if I wanted to survive, I have to overprep, which means you weren't staying.

Laq: Its funny, I tolerated your familiarity way more than I did others as
a strange point. You got me twice I think, once with the assassinate, and
once there at the end when I wasn't really trying to win. I did love our
banter though.

Ahinu: Good lord man, Felar suck at assassinate, and if I had any advice
it would be that you should be safer in your stalking. I found you
way too many times, and the times I dind't I was very happy you were Felar.

Itz: I hate Banshee, that is all, nothing else has changed except you weren't
mad at someone else this time enough to full me.

Other Necros: It was interesting to see when you all figured out that bringing
your army was a bad idea, and just started coming alone. I died a couple of
times that way, becuase I wasn't geard well enough to handle the STR drop.

Nateh: Wish we could have RP'd more, but you were for sure the reason I
took strong wrists. I never worried about other assasins, but you
landed it EVERY DARNED TIME.

There were a whole bunch more, but this is already too long. Post and I
will try to reply

I had a lot of fun interacting with Gann. I am stunned how ineffective I was against her in a fight. Gonna miss all those taunts with you. GLWYN!

No disarm weapon pretty much makes Binders a non-event for Paladins solo. Monks too, for the same reason. Just so you know, I spent the better part of a IRL week wondering how that note made it to my inventory....

That note was fun to write. I was glad to see it last so long in your inventory too. I'm going to miss taunting Gann!

Ganndretia had a lot of extremely heavy RP stuff to work through, and I enjoyed, for the most part, how you handled it. Ganndretia was a story that kept unfolding in some surprising ways. As to the religion, I will argue that there is a very specific structure, and it did seem like you were making an effort at finding your footing with it, even if you feel we didn't quite click. Overall I had a good experience, and I hear your concerns and still hope that you did, too.

To be fair, I did have a crapton of stuff to work through with Gann. I think the RP was good with you.

As for structure, I figured out where you wanted to go after I was a bit move overt. I wish I'd been so much earlier because there were examples I'd have used earlier that were much better for where I wanted to take Gann. The one I had to come up with was just... Forced, because I wanted that second virtue.

I think the experience was... Ok for me, probably more for what I put in than anything else. I didn't feel like I was really putting as much into the role as I could have, or playing it as well as Rahs has it. cant go into specifics... Really at the end it felt like Welverin Paladin #14452433.

The only feed back I would give is perhaps advertise the structure a little bit more, talk more about what living the vow is, and how it can be shown and what you expect for return visits for things like Virtues and even Tattoo. Transperancy helps a bit on that I think. At least for me. That and I don't think first and second virtues are really rewards, third, for sure, but first and second I'd award a mite earlier.

We really went through so much together.. it was a rollercoaster.

You did an amazing job putting a huge amount of emotion into Gann. Sometimes, RP can feel like you're going through the motions.. with Gann it always felt real which is a huge testament to your RP skill 0 you're better than you think you are.

I really wish I could've been there at the end. You were probably Umbrand's closest friend and confidante. I was looking forward to running Fort with you for a while.. was disappointed when you stepped down. More disappointed that you got on that boat. Won't be the same without you around.

Either way, look forward to seeing your next incarnation. Good job.

Really looked up to Gann.
Was always jealous how quickly you could take down the council too.

And sorry couldn't be there at the end
