At 8 o'clock PM, Day of Deception, 2nd of the Month of the Long Shadows
on the Theran calendar Chanya perished, never to return.

I had so much work some months ago, that I had to stop playing Chanya. I logged on occasionally just to avoid autodeletion. But now that I have time to play again, I want to play something else... I liked the role while I was writing it (stole most of it from a book called Bangkok Tattoo, I can recommend that as a good read). However I couldn't figure out how it would visibly differentiate my character from a mindless killer except for the occasional buddhism-inspired comment.

Goodbyes:

Krynna was probably the only outlander I interacted significantly with.. I liked you in game, but not really on the forums.

Imms: I got the feeling you were out to get me. I was called out and warned twice on overzealous pk'ing: Once for killing a dwarf (i'm an outlander, whatcha expect?), and once when I was attacked and killed the person who attacked me. Since those were the only immteractions I received, and I had actually made an effort not to kill people without a good reason, it bummed me out a little bit . But no hard feelings, I do actually see where you're coming from. My philosophy was pretty simple: Be a bloodthirsty bastard while in the cities, and kill everyone in there. Outside of the cities, I'd be more curious and sniff people to see if they'd strike first.

Enemies: Fualuch and Dregan were my two most frequent enemies. You were both excellent opponents. Fualunch annoyed me initially by being a ridiculous thirst monkey.. Then I figured out you were actually roleplaying a retarded thirst monkey, and you started cracking me up. Dregan: Damn man, try wearing some +str and +dex eq.. Will do wonders. There was a third dwarf rager, gimpledorf, who kept trying to gang me down.. Ironically, also the only one of the three that never got me. I never had any tribunals in my range to fight, and pretty few imperials.

holla @ me

Gah. You took a nice chunk of con off of me. I kept fumbling around with wields, I hated how if you tried to wear a polearm it would remove your dagger but not your shield and you wouldn't be able to wear it the polearm on a single command, it was the source of a lot of fumbling and gave you two free kills on me, I think. All the other times I was just an overconfident dumbass and/or forgot that I had teleport potions on me.

On the other hand, I managed to get you once or twice, but the first time was cause you were fighting others and the second time was cause you were distended hard and maybe lagging badly?

Heh, I remember you.. You were really fun to fight, and a good sport I don't remember that first time you killed me.. But the second time, I do remember I was playing from work, and I had to try juggling talking to my boss on the phone and running away from you. Didn't work out :p

Your mace had a nasty tendancy to find it's way into my head.

I very nearly killed you a number of times, but utility shifters don't have much in the way of lagging to keep people in combat.

Plenty of quick fights. See you in the fields.

Heh yeah, we sort of had a falling out Thing with shifters, I usually had no idea if it was you or somebody else I was fighitng.. :p

Wow man, that time you came for in Cyradia's shrine.. when I realized what had happened (happened pretty quick, and I was kinda struggling trying to answer one of her questions), well, I laughed, hard! hehe

We had a nice fight a few days after. I didn't die to a Marcus warrior! But yeah I was close to death..

Good luck with the next.

Got damn I remember that. I had been out all night drinking, logged on to play some.. Saw you on where, but not Cyradia.. :p After that I was a pissed off drunk until I fell asleep (when imms interfere with pk, it strikes a nerve with me.. moreso when i'm drunk and much moreso when i'm the victim :> ) fun fights. i'm still planning the next, it won't be a low xp outtie warrior =)^

I can't speak for anyone else, but you didn't seem to be roleplaying one iota to me. You once were coming after a gnome character of mine, and were wanted. I saw you coming from a mile away and led you into a trap where you got killed by Trib guards and the Enforcer. after this you came after me again, and justified it by saying it was for when I got you killed in galadon, which never would have happened to you in the first place if you hadn't already BEEN coming for me. Your spiffy roleplayariffic response? "I had my reasons". That was it. I tried interacting with you with several characters, including outtie types and your character only seemed interested in trying to kill as many people as possible, with as little interaction as possible. You got pulled aside for treating the mud like DOOM.

I'm usually pretty busy doing stuff while I'm playing - usually pking, but also other stuff in the game. I do my roleplaying by doing, not talking. Sure I can talk to people in the game, if there's anything interesting to talk about... For example with Bundeltorf, I did alot of talking to people during the maethien quest... But while I do enjoy philosophical discussions IRL, they don't excite me in CF.

I know I might come across as d00mish, and it's true to some extent. However, I do have thoughts and reasons for the things I do. I just don't communicat them much, and even less when people ask "why did you kill/attack me?" And when they ask like you did (i'm assuming you were *snip*) -
*snip* tells you '#### you idiot'
*snip* tells you 'I bet you had no reason for attacking me, right?'

Well, that puts your odds of receiving a honest answer to zero, and increases the odds that I'll keep attacking you in a setting where I otherwise wouldn't (which in this case happened).

I don't know who you're thinking of, but I never said anything along those lines to you. Ever. Say what you will about me, but I'd never say anything so out of character. If I tell someone off, it's entirely in character and always has been. FYI outing my character this way shows what a cock you are outside of the game, not just in it.

If you read your PBF the imms, who WERE watching your "roleplayed actions" couldn't figure out your reasons either. You weren't "roleplaying by doing" because if you were they wouldn't have said things like this...

Outlander low XP penalty super-murderous mace spec. Jesus, man, get out of the rut! You're like Graatch in a skirt... and it's not even a pretty skirt anymore.

And...

In watching Chanya, I am struck by the lack of rp in pk situations...just run in and kill, loot if desired...not a comment about city-dwellers...nothing.

I am not sure why Chanya kills whom she kills...no rp or purpose. Nothing to further the aims of Outlander, just killing.

So I'm watching the roleplay, reading the role - still no idea why this char is sphere deception and not sphere death, combat, war, or something else that goes with "I kill everything that moves."

3 seperate imms watching you, all with the same message. These are the people who watch your so-called "roleplayed actions" and they couldn't figure it out either. That says a lot. Generally I see PBF comments about how great someone is, when from my interactions they were ####. In this instance, it seems the staff saw just what everyone else saw.

Please don't put words in my mouth. My commentary is on the character build.

Innis and Twist's comments are another story, of course.

I never really got this char of yours. I was playing a svirf shifter at the time who was pretty much neutral to everything. You rushed me out of form in my twenties and killed me in a round or so. I think again while I was ranking on trolls in the past.

I was pretty pissed off when you finally came into hero range then deleted a few days later. You gotta give these mages you pick on pre 30's a chance to extract some brutal revenge. I had you for a round with my octopus but wasnt able to get off an entwine before you had fled and quaffed.

Nice Pk totals pre hero, anyhow.

That was so damn fun to watch you destroying people with human warrior. And the fact that at level 40 you was in my PK range was damn impressive. If you put some more time and effort in this char, it could be pretty cool.

You had pretty good induction interview, but, unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of chances to RP with you.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this char till it lasted and hope to see you soon.

Me too, I was hoping I'd get to raid or defend a bit with you.. But it never happened. That distention got pretty ugly - at first I was a bit cocky and didn't care, then when I had pretty much the entire hero range to fight, it started to get tough.. everybody just owned me :p
