Death tells you, 'CHECKMATE'
Hey hey, decided I'd finally delete after 295 hours of Nexus fun. Was going to try and do something new with Nexus stuff but I got killed and went through my usual steps of regearing for the millionth time. Here's my equipment during 99.9% of my life (excluding the last .1%, in which I had two Boa Constrictors. Thanks Malinran and Tierna!!
Fingers: Mithril rings Neck: Sandy desert cloak Head: None or Crown of the pearl tritons - Thanks Jhaelryna Body/Arm/Leg/Shield: blood-stained tunic and/or Snow Worm Wrists: Usually none, but sometimes golden chain bracelet Wielded: None... ahem.. Invoker touches
I must say, I really did enjoy this character and though it tapered off near the end, it still sorta rocked. Had 9 Con now when I deleted (Ahem, thanks Gre for being responsible for about 3 points or so, the cloud giant berserker axe & mace crew that was about during his time for another 2 or 3 points, my idiocy for about 2, and the rest spread amongst the other lovable Villagers like Wiglaf or Findlebisk). In all honesty, I thought Kaavraus needed a rest. Sure I spent 150 hours heroing and mastering spells (which I will -never- do again, no class is worth that), but I'd been through enough to make me happy.
Anyways... First Invoker... First Non-Evil... First Nexus... First character with over 250 hours... really popped my cherry on this one. Here... are my goodbyes:
Nexus Loved the people in it, loved the concept, loved the miscellaneous Moderator-Imm who gave me the title. I just hated the Moderator's judgment on who tips, that mofo needs to learn to count the non- good/non-evil that helps each side, or to be treated as more of a guideline than an exact. Then again Vahlen always stressed flexibility in his religion, and likely also was the case in the cabal and the leaders never used it. Speaking of Nexus Leaders:
Erinphalis: I liked you a lot... you were very flexible with a lot of things leadership-wise, which was nice. You were also into getting into brawls on the spot... which was nice. I liked that.
Kucerael: Now come on... you become Elder Magus and the first thing you do is write a scroll talking about respect? Kaavraus -- hated -- that. I thought there would be a change... there wasn't. Hey, if you are about protecting the pillars... and you see an enemy (BATTLE) who are all about destroying one of them... OBLITERATE THEM... get down and dirty with them, screw your sets of precious clothing... take all their crap and don't whine if they take yours... its expendible. I don't give a flying f--- what the other side thinks about me... they die... and that's that. I hate this 'I hope I don't offend the people who are my arch-nemesis'. Aside from that though, you were always roleplaying well (kinda like a uptight holier-than-thou drow, as opposed to a gnome), but you were very consistent and I can see why you became Magus for that.
Furthiniklib: Didn't see you much recently (nor anyone else for that matter, I think they all rolled up their Imperials), hope it all goes well.
Ikdell: We did some decent damage together that one time. Invoker and Ranger bonded combo is pretty neato.
Punblinpo: As I said in your goodbye, awesome spec/legacy combo idea. You were always fun to fight alongside on the few times we did.
Sokoerker & Urzkoo: I liked you both a lot, too bad neither of you were around much as of recent.
Cassougi: Always up to fighting Villagers. Always asking me to help you get something . Ah well, hope you get whatever you want.
Battle Gre: Hated you, wanted to see you die, over and over and over again. You killed me in my youth, you killed me in my older years... I wanted to just return the favor... and rarely got to.
Rhomelanthos: Fun fun fights with you. I wish you really woulda killed every potion-quaffing warrior you saw, I could have used more allies .
The Other Cloud Giant Axe/Mace Berserkers: Was glad you're all dead
Miscellaneous Defenders/Invoker Chow: Probably all glad I'm dead
Findlebisk: Aside from not seeing you anytime recent, after I fought you once or twice and talked to you, I had a feeling the Village was going to grow stronger very soon.
Sabiene: Liked our chats, you do the good-aligned Villager well.
Warlock Jhard: You were fun to raid with, and thanks for all the help on our river. Keep your shark's belly full of deathblowing rager punks I think I got you pegged as to who you are.
Maran Only one of you I spoke to nearly ever was Fahnrore, I think.
Sylvan Didn't really talk to nearly any of you. All my past characters hated Sylvans, so maybe I was slightly biased.
Tribunal Orein: Thanks for the help in raids Bard-Tribunal: I can't remember your name, but thanks for the help. That little corpse-fest we had on the large crossroads ambush was pretty cool and funny, even though the transie Tribunal died Considering how short on time we were to get to the large crossroads, lay the quicksand, and prep, we did real good.
Scion Jhaelryna: Thanks for the crown. You didn't talk much. Jolaerg: I wish I saw and could have hunted more with you. Must have been tough with all the Maran and Sylvan after your ass. I might go back to team evil after this. Hvetlin: Sorry for hitting you with the geyser at the giant a long time ago, I suppose, hehe
Empire and Co. I am so glad the Empire's back. This'll make things pretty interesting in the days to come. I get the feeling though that Empire's going to have all the evils who are in mostly to fight cabal wars while Scion nails most of the RPers. Thornarcrull: Sorry to say this, but you were pretty nice and in general very helpful, then once Empire shows up you give the cold shoulder, trying to impress the man upstairs? Sakard: I kinda didn't like you, you tried to lie to get me to join your ganking squad in raiding the Fortress. Perdy evil there though, that's commendable. I shouldn't like you . Navarro: I can't remember which movie character you remind me of, but I'm pretty sure it's some sort of a selfish thug lackey with an attitude. Sopranos maybe?
Thieves Guild Folk I don't think any of you ever stole from me... thanks for that. If you ever did, then you did well, because I never caught you. I pretty much liked every single one of you: Gastaad, Moligant, Malinran, I bet I'm missing some. Gastaad: I liked the Grabathon 2003... nice work Malinran: Gonna have to find another scroll-farmer to trade with.
Other Tierna: Sorry, wanted to stay awhile longer, kinda hit me by surprise once I died and had to re-gear that I didn't want to do that all over for the millionth time. Wish you luck in finding alternate allies
To All Imms, Nexus and otherwise: I did try to become an Immort, and I'm guessing it didn't pan out probably because I had a role with some sort of a specific attitude that I did not follow at all with my character. However, I do think that I played a good arial and a good Nexan though. That sound about right from your point of view?
Last note on the Nexus: When I joined I had no idea what it was about. After awhile, I looked around, and found out that there was a deeper, more well-thought out meaning to it. However, the Nexus never seems to delve deeper into that... ever. That was my one big quarrel.
Until I delete again...
Kaavraus Sysak - aka. Kravidian/Vaustrien/Kuhkliva/Ktavialt - I'll try to keep away from K-names from now on.
