You were the first druid which gave me problems. Many problems. Much more problems I could solve at that time The second was Sassmi. I've learned much about fighting druids from you, and our fights were always very interesting.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Invokers are great. More versatility than one could imagine. I've played rather recklessly, and died many times.
I've tried to play a non-aggressive Scion who hunted only those who assasulted myself or the Chasm. At the end of my carreer I've crossed this line a few times - I attacked a few of those who were told to be enemies. Not if that mattered much, but it kept me from attacking everyone and their mother, which could be fun at the beginning, but will surely lead to a degradation of the character. Quimo wouldn't go and hunt even a member of the enemy cabal, much less an independant lightwalker. Ragers were the only exception, because the whole purpose of the cabal was to kill Quimo, as he eventually realized
It was fun finding wand locations IC. I've used a few tricks, and they worked!
IMMs: My IMMteraction boils down to reporting an illegal name and a hearty "Thank you" from an Immortal. I hoped to get a special title, but no dice. Even my last name wasn't approved So much for having a role, following it and 400 hours of consistent, though not intensive, roleplay while being a cabal member. I was jealous seeing my enemies I used to kill receive special titles. Ah well.
Scion cabal: Nice cabal, competent people. A shame I've never got into depth of the Scion concept. I can say I've tried. I am far from calling myself an imbecile, but it probably requires a player of higher caliber to get into the stream somehow. Or just my playing times were odd for the persons responsible for cabal handling. As for the purge thingy: I think it is wrong to boot a person who did nothing really wrong without giving them a warning first. A responsible person could at least have talked to me. It just shouldn't be this way:
Welcome to The Carrion Fields. Let the bloodshed begin! It is 1 o'clock PM, Day of the Bull, 8th of the Month of the Old Forces.
You feel something changed while you were away. You have been inducted into None.
Cabal Limbo
The first time I was removed from a cabal in 7 years. Well, it's just a game.
Scions: mostly nice guys. Aginal, Roktalken: it hurts to see someone of the same race/class/cabal combo who is just plain better than you. Opija, Uizare: liked to travel with you. It is the highest compliment Trajeona: very cute character, enjoyed your roleplaying. Danaethil: one cocky healer. How much times were you kicked out, huh? Anyway, it was fun when you were around. You've surely spiced up the boring life Anith: Well done. You've improved much since Riav. Khurmen: I like your attitude. Keep it up. Uzurag: no offense, but I often laughed when travelled with you. Urden: damn, I hated you IC. I (as a player) understand it was your RP to be a bit insane and very aggressive even towards your students, but Quimo surely didn't want even to be near you, much less to speak to you and obey your will. Fikafas: sorry, I outlived you. But I still remember you. You gave me a few good portions of laugh. Thornarcrull: liked you.
Sylvans: my favorite enemies.
Sassmi, you were great. One of the few enemies I've interacted with. Good luck, Stawberry! Arehanah, Gwimdorf: also very interesting characters, though I've seen only one side of your RP Gorgoth, I feel a bit bad for killing you so many times, but it was strictly dictated by my RP to hunt you relentlessly. Blimbali, Dharum: thanks for the fun fights.
Warlocks: I hate counterspell
Findunthilas, Picatepty - invokers fight are always fun. Lardovian: I am proud of killing you that time in Mausoleum Sloryas, couldn't do anything with you. As well as to other conjies. Naocryn and Delmuio: it was very low of you to wait for me at my pit while I try to recover my gear.
Dawn: I don't see the point of the cabal, but I've tried to avoid you, since our paths were so different and crossed only occasionally (when I retrieved).
Esmi, very well done. An interesting character. The others: sorry if I killed you during Fortress raids, it wasn't intentional.
Maran: skilled foes, always ready for a fight. Alnallander: I understand you were just doing your job, but you have no idea how annoying you were to me. You come, attack nightwalker, I come, you spam wrath, I prepare, cast different spells, you spam wrath, one of us recalls... I imagine it was even more boring to you, because I at least had a variety of spells to cast. Gasg: interesting fights, thanks.
Battle: as always, many idiots, several decent characters. Nourn, Grogim: dwarf scout impossible kill damn run recall! Bryvac: I liked your attitude. A strong leader. Bronagh: fight more, whine less, and you will achieve. Drahk: strong, skilled, with Sayangu. Sayangu: strong, skilled, with Drahk. Well, not always.
Others:
Bilau: I am sorry I killed you when you were with Lardovian. Didn't know it was you.
I know I forgot many people, just remind me and I'll answer all
I'll post some logs on Dios.
Skill list: 100%. Fire mastery, Earth mastery. Whatever.

#14767, "Description + role"
In response to Reply #1

Description:
A tall winged figure stands before you. It is not easy to tell a gender of this creature, mostly due to its extreme slimness and a hood covering the features of its face. Upon closer examination, masculine features are revealed. His whole figure radiates a strange sense; you even wonder if there is a soul filling this weird mortal shell concealed underneath the clothing. His hands rest in his broad sleeves, and come out only in case of dire need. Overall, this creature looks alienated from this world.
Role:
Bright flash of light. Darkness. One more flash. The whole new world emerges before my eyes, leaving all that I knew and liked far behind. The parts of my body look quite odd, but my reflexes know how to control them somehow. I don't remember a single thing from my past. It looks like I am trapped in this strange new world. It is in my best interests to find my way through this disguise.
Flows of elements are extremely easy to operate here. You just have to think of it, and it happens. I know it wasn't like this in the realms I've come from. At least something about my past is revealed for now... It's no much, but I'm not going to give up yet.
Each time I summon one of these... Ccul'Gra, I feel as I recall a tiny piece of knowledge of the world I came from... Bit to bit, a picture forms in my mind. People who lived in my native plane used to summon these creatures. It was much easier for them. I yet have to figure out why, but my guess would be relative location of the planes of existance. My native plane is probably much closer to the demi-plane of the Shadow, thus making it much more easy. The other enigma is why did I have to escape my world. I hope I'll solve these... in time.
...Implosion. Chaos. Mayhem. Feeble, yet desperate cries of the doomed, vainly trying to escape the inevitable. Shadowy shapes of Nightwalkers, finally free of all bindings, rampage the native plane of the creatures who abused their powers. Obsidian amulet pulses with power in my grasp. Just before the mighty claw of the enigmatic creature reaches for me, mysterious force rips the very foundation of existance, allowing me to slip between its slayers. That's how I appeared here. That's why I escaped my native plane. That's why I am called Quimo, the name which would better fit a dog than a relatively powerful magician. All I held dear is now lost for me, and lost forever. I have no more hope to return to the place I once called home.

Much like Anith and sometimes with Anith you would come for your items and actually bring the fight and that I respect above all else. You fought when odds favoured you, as fiecerly, as when they did not and I enjoyed our fights. There are two that stick out in my mind. The first was when you and Aginal came for the sceptre and I fought you both at the giant, that was an adrenaline pump. The second was a sweet and sour moment outside the chasm after a raid and I will post it if I can find it. It was so so sweet then so very sour.
all the best for future endevours.

I am still ashamed of the fight when Anith and me failed to retrieve against you
I tried to avoid fighting in extremely bad odds, which I considered odds when I'll most likely be killed in 2 rounds or be permalagged. All other odds were fine
As for THAT fight, I'll probably post it as well from my perspective. I saw a couple of rounds more

I always enjoyed fighting you. I always enjoyed talking to you. I always enjoyed you being around because I knew sooner or later we'd be talking or fighting. I enjoyed you being willing to fight alone. I did NOT enjoy being immolated by you. I did NOT enjoy catching a facefull of avalanche from you. I did NOT enjoy fighting you when you weren't alone, because at that point it was more than likely me alone, and you with whoever else was around. All in all, I think I enjoyed my interactions with you more than I disliked them. I have one log if I can track it down of you doing a solo attempt to retrieve, and me doing a solo defense, spending half the time sitting in water to cut down on my ass being on fire. It carried over a crash and all, and I think the crash was what made all the difference.

Heh, certainly. The most interesting fights are always one on one.
>I did NOT enjoy being immolated by >you. I did NOT enjoy catching a facefull of avalanche from >you.
Sorry, these are two of three of the most devastating spells in my opinion. Geyser wasn't an option against you, so I tried to use these every time I could. And I did
>I did NOT enjoy fighting you when you weren't alone, >because at that point it was more than likely me alone, and >you with whoever else was around.
Neither did I. AFAIR, all these cases were during raids, because it wasn't my style to hunt a lone Dawn paladin I respected in a gang.

I probably have this log too. Would be nice to see it from other perspective.
Good luck!

Shame to see you go. Evil always needs a solid mainstay to keep the light in check. I've fought you with a handful of characters. The first time ever, I remember thinking "Gee, I think this guy is new to invokers". Then as the months progressed each fight became harder and harder. So either my first impressions were way off, and you're an old pro at playing invokers, or you learned a heck of an awful lot about them with Quimo. Anyhow, hope to see you back soon.

Now you really perked my curiosity. I saw you posting at forums as Ex-Paladin, and liked your posts. Mind telling which characters have you fought me with? If you don't want to post it here, toss me an e-mail

Yes, I've had an invoker about 4 years ago, I was a complete newbie and it was my first caballed hero. Invokers were very different, and that experience isn't too valuable. Anyway, I decided to play an invoker because of their versatility. So at the beginning of my career I was clueless, but I learned from my mistakes and tried not to repeat them. I think 400 hours is a good time to learn about class
>Anyhow, hope to see you back soon.
I am going to take a break, but I'll be back, that's for sure. Us addicts should stick together

You were always out hunting or raiding solo which was refreshing change. I traveled with you with Riav/Anith and though our times didnt overlap as much as Id like, you were always one I could count on.
Take care.

Well, well. Another of my old enemies turns around the corner.
You fought well and if you hated counterspell... well, being on the wrong side of a capable invoker is not very much fun either
As for that time in the Mausoleum... What can I say? I had did not have the layout of the place clear to me and had no clue where the exit was, else you can be sure I'd be out of there faster than you can blink. Now it was just a question of when I would run out of mana from countering all those spells and eventually... I did and we both know how it ended.
Well played and I hope I'll see you out there again in one form or another.

You were like, the mystery invoker, for me. I'd hear people talk about fighting Quimo, but unless I'm mistaken, we never once even saw each other online when we were in the same pk range. Wierd.

I can't say anything better than just echo your words. I've also heard much about you, but never got a chance to look at you. I guess both of us have stable hours, and these hours simply did not overlap. Ah well.

Hey. Well done, enjoyed character. Seemed to be skillfull, as usual for ex-.ru team. Heh, had no idea that it's you. Usually RPing and following the role, or character's personality is being rewarded. Not in our case, it seems. Non-agressive scion is something that (as I see it) immortals wouldn't like to see. I, for following my char's personality, even got punished. Which, though, do not trouble my character, but makes me, as a playber, plain sick. Well, more of my char after I delete (which I don't believe will happen anytime soon!) . By the way, as I know, this is your first underdog (I missed much, though). Did you enjoy it? I bet you did with all these shields,geysers, novas and other nasty spells.

>Hey. Well done, enjoyed character. Seemed to be skillfull, >as usual for ex-.ru team. Heh, had no idea that it's you.
I take it as a compliment My intention was not to reveal my identity before this character is gone. This includes the infamous russian team, repeatedly accused of cheating by a mass of slightly-below-average players who can't even cheat well.
>Usually RPing and following the role, or character's >personality is being rewarded. Not in our case, it seems. >Non-agressive scion is something that (as I see it) >immortals wouldn't like to see.
I guess this wasn't a case. Basing on the fact that no immortal replied to my farewell post, neither positive (I consider Quimo to be a successful character) or negative (I added a little bit of whine to the post to provoke that kind of opinion), I suppose that I haven't been watched by immortals who are somehow related to the character I played at all. Hence the complete lack of signs of immortal attention. But it isn't a big problem - as you stated, following the role is a good reward itself, and I tend to agree with you.
>I, for following my char's >personality, even got punished. Which, though, do not >trouble my character, but makes me, as a playber, plain >sick. Well, more of my char after I delete (which I don't >believe will happen anytime soon!) .
I am quite curious of this. I'll try to be as patient as possible
>By the way, as I >know, this is your first underdog (I missed much, though). >Did you enjoy it? I bet you did with all these >shields,geysers, novas and other nasty spells.
I don't think it would be right to apply the term "underdog" to any of my characters of late. I don't play 24/7, or even close to this, and I don't delete characters too often, so I usually witness several pendulum swings. With Quimo, however, my playing times usually gave me a full range of enemies and none to two allies. I enjoyed it as long as there wasn't a group hunting me which could easily permalag me Rio was much more of an underdog during his low-activity times (after I gave up leadership). Anyway, it's a challenge, and it is fun.
