At 12 o'clock PM, Day of the Sun, 13th of the Month of the Spring
on the Theran calendar Geran perished, never to return.

sorry for taking so long guys to respond to this. really I grew quite bored, quite fast with this char.
when I was levelling up, outlanders were domination so badly it was gross. except against people like igbah, but holy crap did tribunal need help, so I deleted that char, rolled up this assassin to see how it would do as a tribbie, and went with it. thats how geran was born.
I really need to explore dangit, I know the insides and outs of alot of areas, but the newer ones I dont know at all. I still dont know how to get the item to get into hell again, even if I can lead to dis. time forgets alot of things, but I can and will spend a few months away from cf, come back, and see how things are.
I will mention this as well, I didnt want to see tribunal in power of dominance. it makes playing outlanders no fun at all, literally. I was the 'fiending bard' of outlander during throkks earlier days of levelling up, etc. that was my last char before geran -save the one I deleted- back when there were 35 or so tribbies, and 5 or 6 active outlanders x.x. the warring just gets that badly off, and there is nothing to do other than having about five or six guys constantly killing you together, or in cases like shador, who seems alot like a noob, to have a duo outlander prepare, come to guild and slaughter them. Shador I am glad you took my advice on how to handle yourself, you seem to live much better
When geran hit hero I defended against a few raids solo. I think only two raids managed to finish it, and one to kill me. Yes I used protection, trance, stone skin, shield, and aura during all those fights, except later didnt for shield because someone had all of the two potions I know of those x.x hence my need for exploration.
the raids went to a screetching halt until the day I died and was looted at the tree. trying to raid through a druids healings nearly impossible as an assassin seemed like, so I was trying to press it. went in fully unprepared, double kicked, that instant saw the shifter become an alligator and whoops. died
I ddint mind manner of death. took by surprise and got my rear end handed to me. I was laughing.
beforehand though I made point to return cloth to outlanders. Really because I wanted the raids to continue, that was my advantage, defending the spire. what left the bad taste in my mouth was I was told by said shifter some things were below the huntress. only thing there was the treant. it looked like they wanted my char gone period, like I would delete over just a loss of eq. I have been playing too long for that, and can kill naked.
after I had unghosted fought a criminal in galadon a bit, and outlanders tried to raid. naked but a few things, no weapon, repelled the raid and killed the shifter in process. I needed the cloth but iolair returned it anyway. eheh.
anyway thats why I started full looting outlanders, for the most part. Caraiishin would have been eternal for this for going ooc and calling me ####wad. noctryne for calling me a loser with a capital l. should be thankful I was broken after killing you noctryne.
a few others went completely ooc, but those apologized, so didnt bother me.
As point of vindicator it was kinda depressing. as justiciar I had detect camo, their guards are stronger _much better against criminals and for raiding the tree_ can still watch cities -better for interraction, which my char thrived on as being an aristocrat and flirting-
my provost didnt get detect camo as inglor does, but I was a fox back then when sylvan was around. eheheh. but all rules still apply.
As vindicator when criminals werent around, not much to do. I couldnt raid the tree solo, I just didnt have the lasting power for that -not meant to be funny, but it was true- it took forever + thornheart and insects, and never made enough coin for alot of speckled pills, considering I would eat them not long after getting them. .
bloody shackles is a good power, but considering can word when they are placed etc, only people that had a problem with them was villagers. not many of them atm for that either. anyway with goodbyes:

immie that made me vindicator : didnt know it was an outlander immie, thank you. always loved your imm, but even moreso cause often you will run little quests or do little things to let a person know that they were watched. it wasnt just the little bits of exp there. I remember my outlanders would suddenly feel something wrong with the area around them, or be talked to with my chars such as with my bard back when outlander was being swarmed. its always a good feeling to really know that your being watched, and what your doing isnt being ignored. thank you again and thank you for the chance at vindicator, even if it was a turning point of my char that led me to boredom x.x

outlanders : throkk: beast. I know you got alot of imp lovin, you were around and growing when they needed the help super badly. we fought side by side as allies, and I am glad to see you still going. We only had a few fights my times changed when I had gotten my new job, but only time either of us died was when I found out you had a ranger there at the tree too, and you bashed me down even after broke your wrist with crunch, and you were hurt etc, while the ranger tanked. I was like dangit, I am dying because I am impaled too and whirled. GAH. all other fights were you dominating me.
well most of them. I was impressed because igbah is the only other warrior that could stand toe to toe with me when I was fully prepared. Hot winds big hunter.

quit - seems best way to put your name havalan (sp) because three times I had been on, you were criminal, you quit immediately. third time you were in my range so I know you were on when I wasnt here levelling. didnt help you each time we had the fetish, but you should learn from caraishiin. vindicator guards are weak as sin and die easily, not to mention that without the fetish you can still evade guards / vindicators easy using the ancients paths. that last time was the last time I saw you in gerans life, deleted of boredom not long after.

Qara - joined the tree when it was in power and power levelled. After a few raid deaths and then the time I looted your corpse when you were exploring you dissapeared. I didnt think much of you but a person that joined a thriving cabal to use it to your advantage. I'm sorry you died so much and likely were using this char to explore, but an arcane just like a healer spells banes for defending parties, they could have used you badly, and made things interesting.

outlander seal / manta ray etc- another that dissapeared. a water form third tier fights better than other third tier forms, and yours goes on land and still fights just as well. thats gross you seemed to like the form too. hell if I could tank inner guardians with a water form you better believe it. I had the thought that hey, anyone going to raid the cabal of the spire HAS to go over water now, no choice but to, so on the way back when they are hurt and likely insected you will be able to ambush them. You made me dread thoughts of raiding the tree until you dissapeared, because of water forms new affectiveness is just silly with that. Just because you were water could have made things interesting and painful for me, but going got tough and you also dissapeared.

Cyrien - I considered you my nightmare. Not only for the fact that healers give courage to most, it dampens anything defenders can do, and you played a healer rather well. didnt speak to you much but taunts though, sry, but I had to target you with such things as that and try to get you annoyed enough to try, just for a chance to bring you down x.x. You were the main driving force of the outlanders, without you they have virtually stopped much of much, save for throkk and the sunwarden and few others.

Riv - at barovia I had thought you a druid, figured would escape easily. then took an unspeak ambush and died right after. eheheheheh
after that didnt miss you being a ranger. I think I killed you more than any other outlander, like five or six times? sorry about all those deaths, but you were willing to fight and more than capable. I respect you highly along with the sunwarden and throkk just because of your tenacity, willingness to throw down etc, but learn of protectives, ouches you need them.

caraiishin - I honestly liked that you used tact to kill the guards / paths etc et al. I liked your sillyness, but that time calling me a ####wad ooc really made me not feel sorry for you in the slightest. I can kill people fully naked, so can you, so stop being so attached to eq, cause I am more than willing still to throw down and go balls to the wall. You have the same playstyle and that makes you deadlier than a great many people out there, so dude get over yourself on that. eh? I had hoped you would get harbinger until your mouth was getting the better of you.

umm.. who else. sunwarden :
dang did we fight alot at first, but then your login times got later. dunno what happened but usually around when I had to get ready to leave for work I would see you. my last death to you, about then I had already gotten used to seeing outlander just run from me, or quit out etc, and when I saw you leave the area and still vis, though meh, just running already. You used an outland path to land almost right on top of me thats one of the few I didnt know about, thank you on that one, but you won from that I had no preps up etc. Good job. You are one of the few people who uses that offensively as well as defensively, and took me by suprise from that. Most other times except in those raids I think I slapped you around silly, but you always got away. good job with that too. I never really went out of my way to chase people, if a persons gonna run, and have instincts, they are gonna run, and vanishing wont do all that much for me
I havent seen you in a bit feil, but keep it up man you kicked butt.

umm ick who else. the storm giant ranger ahrtax?- another that dissapeared, but seemed rather newbie so not too surprising a thing. Outlander is still in a bit of power compared to tribbie even if things are mostly even now and you have some strong people to learn from, and a great many are willing to teach like I did some of the tribunals. stick around and learn man, a death is only a death, thats why you have so much con

tribbies - there were alot of noobs in the cabal I felt sorry for alot of you, and even in your guilds and cities you were just being slaughtered. I hope the advice I gave you helped tons, and in defending, every word I said was accurate and true, and I hope those that saw me defend saw the affect of my words. Shador I am more than glad to see you not dying sorry dizari, not gonna let you feed on noobs.

Inglor - you made provost and you deserved it. I actually enjoyed speaking about my half elven daughter to you, just because it rubbed against your char being full elven. Also as a proper spoken individual it kinda helped me a bit on my own usage. sry on using you like that. in rl I am very emotional and dont speak like that at all
anyway thank you for sticking around for tribunal, you do very well, are polite, and are the symbol literally of a provost. christ man you know the rules of a magistrate in the books even better than me and I have pretty much everything in game memorized, even the history of thera. gotta read of third age a bit better, I know everything, but seem to have gotten it out of order.

fendril - you had guts to defend against odds that would literally just crumple others and took it in stride. I am glad to see you provincial because you have toughed out the storm, weatherd it, and still kicking it. I hope some things I wrote for tactics you can put to use, I said some things specifically for you -wink- and also showed you a secret I havent shown but one other person, same as I did igbah with a certain globule on another char that is deleted now.
I hope you put it to use, and I hope you keep trucking. good job man, good dedication, good char.

bhodi - you were rising up the ranks doing good, and dissapeared for a bit, but you are back now. You seem less noob than others, do good.

-the king- eheheh. heck of a note and style, but still, I loved reading that ooc, even if as an aristocrat and hearing of a drow king while I know the matron mother would hate it, I had to speak as I had, and as a tribbie to a lower magistrate. You are also not a noob, do good for them.

iolair - bah you deleted on me, but you had to deal with the level sitters the most, even if they have levelled now but one of them.

umm
shador - noob, but almost hero now looks like. grats on doing that, but grow some balls man. literally let them hang out, so what if you die?
get preps too, they are easy to find and get, and not only that, barter for them. You are still dedicated too and for that I thank you, your doing wonderful on all save your playstyle. keep it up man, I hope you learn how to be a beast, an arcane is good for it.

others
veesa - I was actually about to delete and give you the sword, as well as show you how to prepare yourself better for combat, and tell you the fatal flaw that makes assassins like you and opoj not up to par with the good assassins. Yeah you guys will get lucky with assassinates, but when it comes to actual fighting, you will never be my match. it isnt char skill, its use of the char, but you wont learn that secret now. but it is why even after I was stripped in galadon I turned around and handed you your ass repeatedly, you were quite easy to beat up. like when I did finally die -yes I know I could have easily left etc, but was deleting anyway so stayed around till you got what you wanted- everything has to go your way for you to have a chance, literally everything. I hope before your char dies off you learn to play an assassin truly correctly, they can be deadly that way.

Daichyl, sry about the deaths against ya, we did level together a bit. We werent enemies and you turned yourself in that one time. Our interactions didnt go far though, as I did work primarily with the tribunal, it was mainly growing and only a little bit of speaking, you have made captain and grats man, but jees you die alot. igbah I know is to blame there largely, but eh man, I had assassinate at 1%, didnt even practice it, but I know I can stand up to igbah, if you cant dont fret it. prepare for when you can.

igbah - beastly. Only warrior besides throkk that could stand against me toe to toe when I was fully protected. holy #### man, but it was really because with 16 str / dex loss I couldnt touch you, or force you to drop your weapons -dang haste- I did in galadon that time the owaza went off and you removed one, I think main hand too, but the cloak took you away from me I was cursing, typed where and saw janos, and beat feet. I had 150 hps left. You are an amazing warrior, even after losing teh gloves etc. keep trucking man

janos and dizari - both of you more than capable. janos be less of a lacky its all I saw from you, but both of you are strong.

ummm who else

people I flirted with, almost all elven women except empress, human woman, hope ya liked it.

blademasters gloves - I hate you hate you hate you, every time I get you I die within a few hours.

time for me to go watch my nieces and nephew til tomorrow morning. cuddling time
I will respond to people tomorrow, and write more likely. bye

Geran was a really fine tribunal in my book, because you took the time to give advice to the other tribs. That note you'd written when I joined the cabal was pretty good advice, I thought.

You are right that I'm not new, but at the same time, Vicaxion has made more than his fair share of newbie mistakes. From forgetting to put wraithform up before fighting giant warriors, to challenging polespecs to arena duels without having flight potions, I've done pretty much every dumb death. But it's been fun. More outlanders would be nice, I agree, but there are still plenty of people willing to break the law.

I second what you said about Inglor too. He is a good provost, and seems to have a good handle on how a paladin can deal with being in charge of a cabal that includes evil guys.

i can navigate the jade mountains blind. have done so to get to the area before -area explore- to get safe. I got stuck in the avalanche with this char.
dumb mistakes, man I did some. Dont worry still happens to all of us
Also, its not that there needs to be more outlanders, it was at one point 32 outlanders, and 15 tribunals, though when I joined it was 12 tribunal and 29 outlanders.
it just got a few more people on the outty bandwagon since I had joined with this char, its that they just dissapeared / stopped playing.
and no, the people that were being criminals would literally quit. Caraiishin was one exception, the arcanes that I couldnt see, a few select outlanders that wouldnt quit out, and igbah.
everyone else literally quit out when I was on, or found out I was on. As well anyone above level 30 that I couldnt fight could run through my guards so... eheh

Ummm... handed me my ass repeatedly? Show logs please. As far as I could see we split even and I ended up killing you in our outside the arena battle so that would make me one up regardless? O_o *boggle*

And LMAO for the last time at people who complain about assassinate. I was good at it. I used it. It worked. Like I said in my goodbye post i EXPECTED to hit with it because I knew what I was doing and you complain because I "get lucky with assassinate". Damn you sound bitter as #### and it sucks because it comes off ass an unwarranted OOC beef with my char. Oh well. I still PKed you regardless of what your excuse is. As far as you teaching me stuff... yea the prep knowledge would have been nice but whatever. Now that I know the attitude you have I don't take it as a loss. As far as fighting went, I learned more from dighting against Daichyl and getting bashed by Igbah than I did fighting you, and that's the god to honest truth without any spiteful retaliation.

Overall I'd say Geran was a pretty good character until you got Vindi and started complaining WAYY too much, kinda like you did in your goodbye post. Wow... what a bummer.

dont need to post logs. You had to stay in town to use the laws I served to protect yourself against being killed, even after my death, when I had what. 5 pieces of eq? I challenged you and still beat your ass as said, rather handily, but only saying its a matter of play style, which as an assassin you lack. Yeah you will assassinate, and a monkey can be good with it. What I am stating simply is that you will never be more than that, and its saddening.

you ran back into the spire and then quit out after I killed you. and you ran from me at least twice during those battles. So I'm still missing the part where you just stomped on me up and down Thera's landscape. Sorry if I don't have the secrets to haste, shield, and stone skin readily available for every fight. Excuse me if you don't like my assassin playing style. I apologize for not being a l33t as you. Wait wtf am I'm talking about? I DON'T CARE lol l have fun with MY style of playing, and that's all that matters to me. I'm not the guy who deletes his vindicator char because his guards weren't strong enough. what a punk.

i had died. never had haste, stone skin and shield didnt have. I didnt run into the spire after you killed me, I challenged you on eastern road, fought you there, you ran, fought you again, you ran, fought you again, you ran. Then went into the spire to finish the deletion process. I didnt say I didnt like your playstyle, only mentioned you dont play an assassin to its full potential, stating that your lacking figuring them out well. Also didnt delete my char cause my guards werent strong enough, please read my post again, and try to follow the wording. It really seems like your iq is in the negatives with what your writing. Or do us all a favor, and dont post, at all. goodbye veesa

you're easily toyed with

you say I don't play an assassin to its potential, yet, you're criticizing me for using ASSASSINATE on a class called ASSASSIN. You're chastizing me because I'm good at using the skill that symbolizes the class. Right...

Part 2) One of the reasons assassin lack a lagging skill that initiates battle other than trip is because of the fact they have the assassinate skill. Therefore, keeping your prey in battle is key because if not they'll probably get away. you have to manage to rock them to sleep a lot of the time. throw out lag kick early if you have to, to get those two extra rounds and maybe catch them with a command in cache, etc etc. I don't know how many times I stalked YOUR prey after you let them get away and then had a laugh about how bad your tracking skills were. If it were me, they would have been dead. That's a basic skill that can be applied to all classes which you obviously haven't mastered yet, oh great sensei assassin! Guess that explains why you didn't bother practicing assassinate either. You can't chase worth a damn. Which would explain why you could never catch me when I fled. And what do you know.. the time you stuck around to try to finish me off I turned the tables on you and killed you. So sorry big bad pinnacle of assassin guy, I don't buy into your crap. You have one PK on me and I turned myself in. Your excuse is that you gave up. LoL stop it...

*** This message brought to you by NbM ***

I liked what I saw of Geran as Lalvyal, though I hated your random pop into the island when I was almost dead already, bleh.

Good job on vindi.

Chris

sry man I think that was our only interaction? or something I forget, but you were a criminal and I was told where you were, there is supposed to be no safe haven for a criminal.
So really wasnt a random pop, I was told where you were and went for you, sry about that x.x

""caraiishin - I honestly liked that you used tact to kill the guards / paths etc et al. I liked your sillyness, but that time calling me a ####wad ooc really made me not feel sorry for you in the slightest. I can kill people fully naked, so can you, so stop being so attached to eq, cause I am more than willing still to throw down and go balls to the wall. You have the same playstyle and that makes you deadlier than a great many people out there, so dude get over yourself on that. eh? I had hoped you would get harbinger until your mouth was getting the better of you."

You are entirely right. I did the get the best of myself and called you a ####wwad (Probably #3rd time looting me entirely) and for that I apologize. It's harder sometimes to stick to character through thick AND through thin, consistently, when you just get plain frustrated. I apologize bringing that IC and ruining things, even aside from that though, I had a lot of fun and found it very challenging to try and take on your guards. Sometimes I died, often I got away, a few times I killed them, and that was just very cool. Our bitterness only did just that, and for my part, got the better of myself.

Good luck on the next

yeah is hard. #### I remember kinda my days when I would spend hours killing a mob or two in hell to get super nice pieces of eq, running around fighting, dying, and creaming my ass off, then going ooc, then feeling bad and apologizing to them, then spend a few hours getting other stuff. all of us go through it, but the first time my guards killed you, your flight fell on the river in galadon. You, my good man had that tiamats mail in your corpse and tons of other nice stuff, and I had basic eq on. you did lose alot of items then, but a level 30 druid wearing hero eq that heroes would drool for, I mean come on, I gave you back quite a bit and replaced from what I was wearing
but please dont think anything of it being an ic thing, as stated I was rooting on you beforehand of being harbinger. you have the potential, you got the playstyle. You got the sillyness

sry man, I havent had a tatted char but one by thrakburzug on an orc whos name I forgot a long time ago and didnt play anymore.... since oh, pico, the one whos tattoo was a bull (past battlefields) and the one in frigid wastes on the northeast side near druids guild -forget name and tat-
its kinda just those three ever went after because they never made fun of my grammer, language. this char I Tried my hardest literally to play a highbourne one. #### english is my third language man.
the role command itself ever since it was put into place has been nothing but bad on me because I cant put things out like people with english as a first language. to this I gotta say #### it, cause I always, always get bad postings and insults from imms whenever I try, so I have stopped trying.
thats why with this char, my last char, and char before last my first chapter has always been same. also I have written more than that one chapter even after saying its only one I gonna write.
I was gonna try for tat and try be a religious follower, but after that brief talk didnt think it would go through, cause I couldnt find the words to say what I wanted. kinda hard for me
#### speaking with inglor some of the times I had to pretend I understood him just because my char would.
a few times I even had to ask him to explain it when I thought it might be important
I did target you because you were my sphere, you were my imm and the imm I spoke of to others as mine long before I even went to your shrine.
also fit with my char. I'm sorry it bothered you and you got negative view of me from it. if I want to try for a tatted char again will likely be roleless and attempt for pico /lyristian, because hes more patient with me and people like me. I dont mean to sound offensive, but its really only way I know how to say this.

Alot of the things I want to say in here I think I have to wait until I'm no longer walking the lands. Everytime I was around you, my RP kicked up a couple notches. Everytime I have logged on recently, the first question people were asking me was "Have you seen Geran?" You will be sorely missed. I'll say more when my time on this board comes. Thanks for everything and good luck on your next.

You will be sorely missed. Good luck with your next.

The brightest flame burns the hottest and fastest, eh?

You were quite fearsome. Gave me some of the most trouble out of anyone I fight on a regular basis (there are others, you know who you are).

I still need to learn that if an assassin isn't doing anything when we fight, it's not because they are just panicking. There's a reason why "owaza" starts with ow.

Fun fights, good luck with the next one.

Shoot. I am without internet access right now and really was wanting to get back asap to maybe learn more from you.

I fell into a hole on groupmate options on leveling lately, and although Elija was was listening when you were encouraging him to get busy on some ranks, the difficulties getting online and finding someone to run with have kept him from doing it lately.

I was really impressed by you, and wish you luck on your next.

You didn't have to return that Villager's items after jumping him while we were fighting Nexus. But you did, and it was much appreciated.

Aside from that, our only real interaction was a duel in the arena. It was fun, and really didn't go anything like I expected it would.

I really had the impression that once I made you the Vindi, I had a guy that was going to step it up and help turn things around. Ah well, if you aren't having fun, you shouldn't force it. Good luck with the next.

No seriously, I finally rank up to you, to where I can actually fight back (I was getting good at killin those guards!) and you
up and delete!

Too much pressure or what?

nt

I thought Geran was very, very cool. Tough, fresh breath of RP and not afraid to mix it up. I had looked forward to many more fights with you.

What a shame.

PS: I liked your way of speaking. You reminded me of a certain rogue in an old Baldur's Gate game. I always heard his voice when we spoke.

I still owe you that duel! (I really really had to logg that time... Sorry about that.)

Was looking forward to some more interactions with you.

Really didn't like your character choice of full looting towards those who never full looted you. If it happened raid style, then that's how the cookie crumbles and I don't ever expect anything back.

But there was one simple occassion where I was just generalized with everyone else. That's fine, but it's hard not hate your character ooc'ly when it didn't come across IC to begin with. And I actually wanted to like your character as an enemy. After that moment all I wanted to do was backstab your character IC'ly and leave you naked. However, I would have had no reservations OOC.

Hmmm... that probably didn't make too much sense. In addendum, good luck with the next and try not to generalize your grudges.

EXB

You kinda power-ranked there. One day you were way under me and next day, you'd be over me! But we ranked together, had some nice talk, then we hit hero range and I decided 'Hey, let's break the law!' and get wanted and hunted by you.

That kill with manacles : Ouch.

Did you burn out?

GLWYN

In case you didn't notice, I wasn't flagged a single time once you made Vindicator. What happened at the Tree is not something I usually do, but if I hadn't been full looted previously, I wouldn't have needed half of your clothes. I knew and expected what would happen if I died in a retreival.

I think that you were a primary reason why Tribs are on the upswing while Outlander is on the downswing.

Good luck on your next.

My dear Vindi.. WHy did you delete?

You were a beast, very effective, and very helpful. Now I know why you weren't around lately...

What I shame, you'll be missed dearly.

Thanks for all the help you gave me.
