#75929, "Enrai deleted."

This character was really not fun.
Another goodie, because I seriously can NOT get into evil RP no matter how hard I try. And I get bored even faking it, because it basically requires learning the game all over again.
I played a Shaman, because someone suggested it and I've never played one, even though I love empowerees. It was fun up through the mid-ranks. Then once everyone started using saves and running away after 2 rounds it got tedious. I tried not to rot people too much, because I hate killing people without an actual fight. Only time I rot;worded was when fighting big groups. And even that was fairly rare.
Baer, you're still cool. But aside from a few (I emphasize FEW) folks in the Fort, I had pretty much zero enjoyable interactions. And the last couple days, I probably didn't make it any better. Especially today. I just found myself bitter logging in, even.
Today I realized I was only playing because I was a Leader and they needed someone to show up. But.. there was just nothing fun about this character. And playing CF was genuinely annoying. So.. I deleted.
Baer, sorry for deleting. Sorry for being a mediocre, forgettable Captain, and even worse follower. But I just couldn't force myself to really get into this RP. I'm still astounded by the progression from Squire to Captain though. That has to be some kind of record.
Una, Quolencia, Illian, Haidoril- Ya'll are cool. I enjoyed hanging out with you most of the time.
Beyond that, I'm not gonna mention any other characters because I pretty much have nothing good to say.

Tough road you had, especially in the last couple weeks. In one man's opinion you were doing a good job and getting better, if also a bit more seriouser, which came with the job I suppose. I'm sure you'll be back soon enough if not already. Good luck with that.

I thought you were a good leader. Thanks for giving me the time. I hate pestering leaders for interviews and all that. With my playtimes limited to weekends for the moment it was kind of hard ranking to get to a point where I can conjure effectively. Trying to take out people with magic missile and some hit and runs is not that easy to finish them off. Servitors is making things much easier. Ha.
I got some neat ideas for when I rank up and you were definately part of those plans.
You were agressive towards the enemies and again, thanks for the interactions.
Take care,

But I don't know much about Baerinikia's religion, and the pious hardass is a very viable role.

Guild sitting? I mean alright maybe if something needed done like retrieval but sometimes it almost feels like there should be an IC way to remind people this is just a game not a job.

I suppose thats ICly acceptable but there are OOC limits esspecially since you can't really win or lose people just have 'fun'.
That said, its sometimes very difficult to come up with the appropraite IC words to properly express yourself to people who don't understand that RL might be distracting you more then others. Some day i'll figure out polite IC phrases to '#### off, my baby just starting crying' or 'Shut the hell up. X and Y and Z'. The game already alienates and penalizes the players who have time constraits or are OOCly distracted. Still on top of that people have to listen to pompus ass characters call us out on what is often an ooc issue, ~le sigh~. Oh well...

Thats fine. I wish people would stop bitching ICly about it though. Unless the cabal is fat someone else guild sitting doesn't really effect that cabal esspecially since again OOCly there is no way to 'win'.

Do I sit in my guild in Voralia a lot? Yes, it is my hometown and my home guild, so yes, I try to make sure my guildmaster is doing well as our his helpers.
Now, was I logged on during times where Enrai wasn't logged in? Yes. Was I doing stuff during those times? Yes. I've raided Empire, aided the former Captain, and fought Scions/Empire rather regularly.
Were there times I needed to perfect a spell? Yes. Were there times doing it in the guild would be the safest, best way to do it? Yes.
Please stop commenting about my character Java. I'm liking you less and less.

It was strange that someone who seems to hate it when other use 'lame' tactics because he feels take away the fun from the player behind the character take such a stance.
I mean you've posted that it annoys you when people full saccing others and generally grief others but here you are saying you rather not have someone who to your character might seem like a guild sitter in your cabal. Isn't that worse? That as a leader you'd prevent someone who is attempting to have some limited fun with their time constraits from even joining the LEET cabal that is fortress because they won't help you 'win'?
It just didn't make sense, almost hypocritical really but hey i don't know you, i've just clash with your characters once in a while so i'm not trying to bad mouth you or anything....that would be ignorant of me after all without knowing all the facts, right?

I liked Enrai from the get go when we ranked in the 20s-30s. I enjoyed the times we got to talk and travel together. You saved my ass big time when we (well I really because you could have worded at any time) between centurions and I was getting knifed by the shadow with a flame attack dagger. I really saw now way out and just wanted you to get the hell out of dodge so we both didn't go down. Your comment after was classic and I thought "Hell yes!"
Anyway sorry it stopped being fun and thanks for the induct.

Not that I need to defend myself against bitter people who think it's crap that I Maran'd/Leadered you at the same time, but I will give a small explanation. After the holidays I sort of had it in my head to ask you and Gralbin to be leader, and then when I sat down and talked to you I realized CRAP I hadn't Maran'd you yet! I'd honestly thought I had. But low penalty hero range sha tends to have an extremely limited lifespan and I needed a leader so I thought why not go with it. Your RP was solid when I'd had the chance to watch it, and you seemed pretty competent on the PK side. And for those conspiracy theorists, I had no idea you were you when I leadered you.
Wish you would have stuck around longer. I didn't expect you to stick around for very long, but I was hoping for longer than I got, but I completely understand that if it isn't fun, move on. Trust me, some days (like today) being an imm feels like that too.
Good luck on your next, and I'm always happy to have you in the Fort.
There will be no white flag above my door. - Dido

You were a good guy, sorry to see you go. I think you getting bumped from squire to Captain was a good choice. You can RP and you can PK. That was/is a pretty rare combo in the Fort so I can see why Baer did it. There were a couple of whingers with a problem with it I guess but I certainly had no qualms.
See you back in the Fort, no doubtin'!

I thought you did quite well. It would be great if you could have hung on awhile til Marshall was filled so that the Maran's arent in leader limbo. At least there are two solid Marans who could fit the bill. Still, sometimes its just better to delete than drag on something you don't enjoy. Thanks for the interview and I hope you get into your character.

No one can just plan to do this and "pull it off". Reading Baer's post above, it was nothing more than an Imm who had an oversight and corrected it. It's happenstance, and could happen to anyone with a quality character. Splntrd

You were a good maran and a good captain and treated me exactly how I should be treated. Mreash just can't understand that though
I totally understand the shaman frustration, and have had bad experiences with leader fort shamans in the past. Good luck on your next.
