At 4 o'clock PM, Day of Freedom, 11th of the Month of the Grand Struggle
on the Theran calendar Gilleonoir perished, never to return.

The last (AFAIK) of the Old Style thieves is finally gone. My playing times came and went, but no matter what else I did, I'd always come back to Gill, time and time again. I never really lost interest in him, I'd just get a sudden urge to play something else for a bit. It was always surprising friends and foes alike with the Double Backstab.

Friends and Foes:
I had many, many Friends in life, I had a list at one time, but it's disappeared somewhere. Foes were very few, long term ones anyways. I usually made friends with them in the end, even the Ragers that I tormented day in and out for no reason other than they were easy marks. I didn't do much Pk, preferred the Merchant role more than Warrior. It was nice to have people calling to me asking for what goodies I had to trade all the time. Don't think I ever died one on one, always to a group, and I could always look back and see where I could have gotten out of it, but you die and you learn.

I wish I still had my Friends list. I made many, and appreciated every one of them, it got hard looking at 'who' and not seeing anything highlighted in blue(friends), there weren't too many thieves about anymore either. I recall there used to be 20 or more Neothieves all the time, but the tide ebbs and flows, I suppose.

This almost feels like an epitaph for myself, because I played him as myself in many, many ways. It is definetly a little piece of me gone in some ways, but don't let your purse strings get too loose just yet...


I spent almost all of my younger days gathering coins and practicing, as you can see in the skills list. I never wrote a role, although I kept thinking of Bilbo and seeing me write one in my older days, but the older days were shorter than I thought. Indeed.

I never had intentions on the Kingpin, though I had kind of hoped it would be given to me anyway, kind of a reward for doing what you would do anyway, without telling everyone you're doing it. But I guess my sporadic playing of late, fades some of the legacy I hope I built. I was always happy to be seen as an Elder thief (Master Thief some said), with words of wisdom and a few coins to give out as needed. I had the ear of more than a couple of the Kingpins, and one (surprisingly) even asked my permission to persue the title. That's the kind of respect that I most appreciated, and tried to be worthy of.

Any Real Old School thieves out there...It was more than fun, it was a Brotherhood.

The real addictiveness to this 'game' is the people that you form relationships with. Friends or Foes, Immortal or Newbie, you put part of yourself in it, and it becomes part of you.

I don't really know why, just sometimes you find someone you really like to interact with, and you were that person, so well played. I had no idea you were that old when I was giving you crap about it being time for you to hero.

I remember first meeting you as Corthy, it seemed you were following me around east of Arkham for some reason. I kept from camo to see if you would attack or steal from me, but you never did. I remember people on CB telling me to be careful because you were the last thief with dual backstab.

I don't remember interacting with you much as Guddomelig, I think we might have ranked together once or twice. Very thoughtful goodbye and well done

Bout time you died you old fart, seriously tho, well done, you were one of the few thieves that were any worth to the guild back in the day, remember constantly trying to beat you on the donation board and never pulling it of. Well played and see you in the fields.

Master thief... Sad day.

A great loss for the guild indeed. You
always were cool and extremely helpfull
to other thieves. A big asset to us.
You helped me around quite alot when
i was new, my thanks.

Rest well, Master thief.
