At 1 o'clock PM, Day of the Moon, 35th of the Month of the Grand Struggle
on the Theran calendar Elias perished, never to return.

So, I like to play aggressively, fighting alone with minimal prepping. I'm kind of impatient too, and not really willing to spend very much time gathering gear. Altogether, it kind of guarantees rapid con death, but a more cautious approach just feels boring to me.

Around the mid-thirties, it became almost completely trivial to escape from any fight. There were many, many times when things started to go bad and I would stay, hoping for a rescue or pillar from an angel, instead of just wording away. The times when it would work more than made up for lots of avoidable deaths. I guess close fights are just more fun than ones I knew I could win from the start and those are what I was trying to make happen most of the time.

Anyway, If I fought with you more than once or twice it was specifically because I liked you or you seemed challenging. I just want to mention Krynna, Trukrag and Yean though. They were especially fun to crash against, mostly unsuccessfully, but still.

(Faerie dragon was amazingly great, by the way. I've no idea why people would complain about it.)

I am not a fan of attacking someone who I killed few minutes before. But I had to do it or you would just attack my unprepped ass. One time you were close to take me down. Ouch that angel was strong and I was lazy to prep up.

Good luck with your next.

I was impressed, as I am aware of how hard it is to seal kills with conjie.

My goodbye will be a log for you The only time you got me, I believe.

You were especially fun to fight against as well. Not only were you daring, but good-natured and a good sport. I liked your character and his tenacity. That last fight (part with Valryn, and part at Ugruks) was tremendously fun for me. Luck with your next and I'm glad to cross paths with such a player.

Definitely liked your style, you definitely weren't a pushover and it was obvious you stuck to your guns and didn't mind taking on enemies even if you didn't have the best servitors. I've always thought AP vs. Conjurer is a pretty solid matchup, and I know there were more than a few fights we had that could have gone either way.

Faerie dragon was annoying as all hell to me; the fact that people think it sucks tells me that you knew how to use it and other people don't. Good luck with your next!
