At 12 o'clock AM, Day of the Great Gods, 33rd of the Month of the Dark Shades
on the Theran calendar Aganthas perished, never to return.

I got so very many complaints about you from non-villagers. People who, OOC, I totally would believe, but IC, couldn't justify doing anything to you about.

As far as Woldrun saw, you were a ballsy fighter who could be counted on in a fight. I never really saw anything that looked bad. I didn't like the way you talked smack to that one other villager (I forget his name), and thankfully (Thank you, MEMBERS command), I could give you a quick, quiet, "hush up, he's killed about as many magi as you, so if you could just focus on magi instead of Trib warriors, you'd be getting somewhere." and not have to make a big deal out of it. I hope you appreciated that too.

So yeah, I had sneaking suspicions that you were good around me but not so good when I wasn't around. I was thinking of asking the Battle Imms to keep an eye on you, but you were gone so fast it didn't matter, heh.

As for the paladin thing, Woldrun kinda sees that as your own problem, as an evil char. He sees it the same way when some good-align villager has qualms about killing elf mage. He's neutral and doesn't really care what "other problems" your alignment brings you, just do your job and kill magi. I've fought paladins/maran plenty in defense of other villagers, but generally only when they make the odds uneven (Maktess/Lortas/Aravein heh). As for the thing about them camping around the village - don't hide there, honestly. I had a rager a long time ago that got inducted by the drillmaster who told him he'd kick me out if the outer guardian ever got attacked because I was hiding behind it. I'm obviously not that extreme, but if a paladin is chasing you, there are a ton of places to go other than the village to rest up.

In the end, I actually did enjoy having you around and grouping with you for raids and such. And you did a good job of going off on your own and kicking some butt. So good job with all that, and good luck with the next!

I knew you were Ajirkahn/Ilvakihj when you talked to me... I didn't particularly enjoy the angry boastful tone, but I suppose it's up to you to play what character you like. You should be aware that not everyone is as easygoing as me, and there will be -some- people both allies and enemies who will resent you for talking like that (like Ajirkahn, Ilvakihj did with their foes). Otherwise you were really crazy brave and leaped straight into fights, I can respect that even if it does seem stupid sometimes

And no, Ajirkahn/Ilvakihj weren't that strong. It was the fact that you'd throw yourself into every crazy battle that made them scary. If you're thinking of a power-combo you'd think Hunsobo, Cabdru, etc. Those who kill like mad and seldom die.

Great job the rager PWNER like you promised

I did make a rager-killer... an arial sword/dagger spec named Barboissak. Unfourtantely shortly after Bloodoathing I decided to kill a Paladin in town, did so quietly, without taking a warrant. Ahtieli decided for some reason to believe the Paladin over me, which ICly as a Lich, why would you care about some Paladin complaining about a hit in the city, nobody was marked, it wouldn't concern you. Ahtieli anathemead me for it, probably b/c he knows the other Paladin on IRC or some####. So yeah, as soon as Ahtieli ####ed me over, I decided to make a Rager to #### some of her imperials over.

Guess what, it worked.

Ahtieli your just a POS player on this mud.

However, POS playing would be a bloodoath killing a Paladin in town because "nobody saw." Horrible RP. Should Ahtieli believe a paladin, meh, I don't care, but seriously...come on. If you want to play an Imperial, play one.

>However, POS playing would be a bloodoath killing a Paladin
>in town because "nobody saw." Horrible RP.

I don't think that's horrible RP. Just like I don't think it's horrible RP for an evil Magistrate to be corrupt. Sucks when you get caught, though.

>Should Ahtieli
>believe a paladin, meh, I don't care, but seriously...come on.

To argue against Aganthas here...

Who would you believe, a paladin who is bound by a code to not lie, or some evil warrior who would say ANYTHING to avoid getting anathema'd? I'm going with the paladin.

And your bloodoath killed a virtued Paladin, go him. I don't think a Lich in that position would give a #### what the whiny knight has to say.

And that's why Ahtieli is a much better roleplayer than you are.

Even Istendil was relatively bland towards the end. Your PC's don't exactly personify anything remotely to real or human emotion. So quite frnakly, me, you and Ahtieli all fall into the same class of player when CFing. The fact is I emote, the fact is I take into account my characters thoughts/actions and not what I know OOCly. Ahtieli can't even spend the ####ing time to learn english properly, so don't go lecturing me on RP. Now your just being a moronic, one-sided douche whose making an explicit point to try and out me with useless facts. My Rager-Killer FYI would have been one had I met my build of being a Elite Blade. Once anathemaed and only oathed, I really couldn't do ####all.

Let me see you play a Anathema and see you tool everything in sight without being a total bitch and oppourtunist like Kjrorh.

Let's see you take a real underdog and beef him out instead of one of your typical liches or a-p's or warriors who are cheezing hardcore, using area-explore knowledge nobody has to acquire gear/weaponry nobody has ever even seen at level 30, with auto-progging insta-killing bs. Yeah, i'm a bad roleplay? You're just a bad player in general and a ####ty admin.

Peace out.

nt

Oh wait..

you emote? lmao

>Even Istendil was relatively bland towards the end.

The fact that you acknowledge Istendil is remembered even now is testament to his impact as a character. I can't vouch for others, but for me the biggest success ANY character can claim is to be "remembered."

Your PC's

I find this statement ironic considering the number of grammatical errors in this post. I'll echo Lhydia on the emoting comment. That's pretty standard for most any character.

Now your just being a moronic, one-sided douche whose
>making an explicit point to try and out me with useless facts.

The useless facts provided are information as to your deadliness in a post where you are claiming to be the ####. That's pretty relevant information.

>My Rager-Killer FYI would have been one had I met my build of

>couldn't do ####all.

So, you are saying that you can't kill ragers if you are anathema. I've never been anathema before, but I don't think you lose all your skills when it happens. What is the barrier here?

>Let me see you play a Anathema and see you tool everything in

Why does Nepenthe have to prove anything to you?

>You're just a bad player in general and a ####ty admin.

Frankly, I think you're the worst kind of deluded.

>Peace out.

You, are a legend in your own mind.

Yeah, you can see it that way.

But then you could also see it in the following way:

You're Lich Emperor and you are wasting six-eight game hours talking about some bloodoath that might or might not have attacked someone in town.

You're not in a good mood and don't have this time to waste, so you decide to anathema this bloodoath. Others will see it and make sure they keep doing their job without trying to get facetime with you. Because let's face it, the only ppl an Emperor should even care for imo is their council. Everyone else needs to just shut up and do as they are told by their superiors.

Unless...the blood oath violated YOUR IMPERIAL LAW. In which case, yeah, you sort of do care.

Everyone loves to accuse Ahtieli of being a part of some kind of Great Russian Perma. I know for a fact, the dude isn't even Russian. That's all I'll say.

Good on Ahtieli for making Imperial Law mean something and actually taking out the trash. Imperial Law and Tribunal Law aren't congruent -- there are things that are flagworthy by Tribunal Law and Imperial Law things are okay, and there are things that Tribunal would never flag you for that are violations of Imperial Law.

As a further aside, killing one Battle applicant does not make you a rager-killer. I mean, hell, there are Acolytes and Heralds that rise above that standard.

As a further further aside, it's especially sad that you had to break Imperial Law to gang-kill a not-very-PK-successful paladin.

nt

n7t

Thats your cabalmate...You opened a new world for me :p

Seriously.

If you're Emperor and you'll having to waste ten minutes of your time on a bloodoath. Chances are that is never going to change, and that that bloodoath when on echelon 2, 3, 4, will just keep bringing up #### that wastes your time.

Most of the time, you will do some real digging to see what happened.

Once in a blue moon, you'll think wait, I'm Emperor and I'm listening to all this ####.

anathema xxx
cb xxx is now Anathema to Empire, if you feel you are important to bring an issue to my ears, you better be right.

Let's take a quick glimpse of a paladin code:

8. Never lie; be true to your word.

Single-burn = standard Nep
Double-burn = wicked Nep
Triple-burn = you got burned, bro. go on home, you're no good here.

He's a douche, and he knows he's a douche.

But that your attempt at a 'Rager-killer' was sad is just fact.

The logs don't lie. Crack open a PBF on it if you want.

This isn't completely fair:

>As a further aside, killing one Battle applicant does not make
>you a rager-killer. I mean, hell, there are Acolytes and
>Heralds that rise above that standard.

I was only looking for solo kills there. That character also did have such memorable roles as 'Guy #5, contributing little, in five man gang of Woldrun'

If I toss the big gangs, what I originally said is fair.

nt

1. You joined empire at later ranks which made Ahtili dislike you slightly
2. You attacked paladin who was highly respected by Ahtieli and she sure would trust him over your word.
3. Instead of admitting your mistake and taking lesser punishment, you decided to lie to Empress.

If you don't want to be anathemed for breaking laws, don't break them. Otherwise have enough guts to take the punishement, instead of crying like a little baby.

This character was shady, very non rager-ish and close to being booted. After yelling at you on cabal twice, the next would have been that. Only an eight or ninth of your kills were mages and no matter what the reasons are, that is still an awful ratio. While a lot of your fights were in cabals, the gank meter was a bit too high for my liking as well.

Every single time I was watching you were always whining, boasting or complaining, which was a huge turn off. You also did not seem to have any pride for a villager, on top of other shady things.

~

I knew something was up as I could tell you were playing even more extreme than you usually did. All that, and you didn't pay me back! Now I have to find another person to do that dirty work. Take care and GLWN!

WARNING - I WAS SPHERE ANGER!

So, experimental build for me that I never really tried out before. I'm well-experienced with STSF, with Surrounding the Sunrise, with Elf warriors, so it wasn't too far a stretch to get a hang of Aganthas after eating a few deaths. I killed alot, I died alot, most of the time using envenomed daggers or fangs of a lion, or my l33t mattocks of the evergreen tundra. Hadn't played a Rager in a while that was even remotely successful or capable of facing off against multiple opponents and winning more often then not, so that much was really fun. Only letdown with this character was the fact I slew x5 more Nexun warriors/Enemies hunting me, then Magi. Magi always seemed to run whereas the warriors would just get stupid and give me the kill.

Some brief shout-outs...


Malthalia - Awesome Drillmistress, great presence in the Village, you turn the tide of War.

Woldrun - Great Commander, if their is anything I ask its you find a way to deal with Paladins sitting at our gates during a raid confrontation. They are going way beyond just waiting for a fight in the ruins, they are ambushing us on ways back from raids, hurling lightning bolts inside the Village to finish us off, alot of really irritating #### that really shouldn't be tolerated. If the roles were reversed, those Fortress members would be complaining to no end about us sitting at the Maran, waiting for Mages.

Gahdak - Suicidal and mind-numbing working with you at times. You were/are hell-bent on last stands. Keep up the good work, though I have a feeling you'll be joining me soon :-P

Lohik - Good times growing up, don't let bearcharge get you down too much.

Kale - Good fights and raids we put together. I'll miss us facing off against the world.

Malakhi - Brother from another mother, me and you would just sync up ridiculously well, almost like we could read each others minds. Same build dagger/mace berserker, it was awesome looking back over our fights and just seeing how co-ordinated we were. As a single opponent needing to defend against us both, it'd be a nightmare for me, let alone anyone who had to deal with it.

Enemies

Slakken - One of the few i'll actually remember as a ballsy opponent. Always willing to fight, normally with death on your part. It was a fun ride, you whooping my ass in the early 20's to me whooping your ass repeatedely later in life. A shame we never got to fight on even footing after level 40.

Eterlu - Ballsy little Nexun. You complaining about hamstring is a bit much though. Yes the movement drain sucks, but you can compensate any ill effects it has on your melee with +DEX gear and you can compensate the fact that you can't run too far with the fact that you have teleport potions. Also changing your home city doesn't help either, go to the Registry in Galadon and change it to... Udgaard? Arkham maybe? When your a Nexun and hometown is Galadon, it isn't -too- advantegeous.

Cabnil - Terrible RP/Grammar but one of the best (PKwise) non-elf/drow transmuters i've ever run across.

Dolce/Ahtieli/Zwerg/Zerrla - I honestly and I mean honestly, in the 2-3 weeks I played Aganthas extensively from the 20's I saw you guys on at the same timeframe, and always logged together. If Ahtieli logged the rest of you followed suit within 5-10 minutes. What goes on with you guys may not be blatant co-ordination, but you've manifested it into that. Whether you guys just have one anothers playtimes calculated is beyond me. Maybe Dolce just knows at 5 pm MT its a good time to log b/c the rest of Empire does, but it seems REALLY suspicious when it always happens and when the logoffs are moments afterwards. The sheer fact you guys are all attached at the hip, using douchebag tactics and letting a Lich which realisticially is only acting as a Lich 50% of the time he's logged is well, just meh. Satebos takes more chances then Ahtieli does as far as giving a good fight, and Satebos has much, much more to lose. For me, it's growing a pair and fighting and dying and bringing ENJOYMENT to the game. As it stands, Empire is just a lamefest, it was 100x better off with someone like Kostyan who would take bad odds even with uber sets and really invoke fear into the populace. People aren't afraid of Ahtieli, they are afraid of the Empire ganksquad that will log on within 5 minutes of her. Why some people are penalized for perma-grouping and people like Ahtieli aren't is beyond me. The sheer fact 80% of her council or atleast always a 60% majority is russian should be clue enough. The fact that the same guy has earned War Master/Dread Lady 4 times over his last 6-7 characters is another. The same garbage PC's are being recycled into the same slots Ahtieli places them into. If you ever want the Empire to return to real glory and not just brief 1 hour logins over the course of a day, get rid of the Lich, and put someone into power willing to fit to the mold of an Emperor.

End rant. That about sums anything/everything I had to say.

PS - Cool quest going on atm, a shame I can't continue participating.

I always felt you might attack me. Especially after you sent me a tell when Kardulak took your gear. You seemed like I failed to protect your corpse. I think You cant corpseguard while in a shifter form and grizzly killed you. Almost got that grizzly though.

Was never certain how you would compare. I wish you luck in the next.

~

If I saw anything to prove anything but what I stated, you might have a valid point, unfourtantely, you don't. Whether or not you are aware of what is going on is another matter entirely. Fact is, Kostyan would raid against bad odds, Kostyan would try and re-take the icon of power against TERRIBLE odds. And you don't do either. Heck, I saw you and Zerrla on for about 40 minutes, trying to summon/trap me as I was the only Rager on. Half-armored. Only when Dolce and Zwerg and Dten showed up did you grow the balls to raid for the Head. Is that the mentality an Emperor should have? No. If the leader of the cabal isn't taking risks, why should its underlings.

I say get rid of you, put you as non-cabaled like Satebos, b/c you obviously haven't built a strong empire in thousands of years in-game, despite having every oppourtunity to do so. See where a new build takes the Empire and then have you try to make a coupe to possibly get it back if it's any worse then the Empire you've made, which I highly doubt it will be. Risk is a huge factor in what makes CF enjoyable. When you null it into nothing by cheap mass logins or insta-logouts, it makes wanting to play at the very low end of the scale. I realize how uber-powerful you are and how you have 'more' to lose but for me, you just don't fit the bill for a big scary emperor. You're an oppourtunist weasel who has limited confidence in his own abilities. The sort of Lich who should be living as a hermit in a cave someplace obscure on Thera. That's the Lich I see when I see Ahtieli.

End rant

first person I don't want to argue with. However you cheap attempt to unghost by attacking Destructor which is sure awesome rp, while Empire was raiding, was funny.

Your precisely why I drop my level of RP to barely acceptable by my standards. Because you are continually rewarded for your ####ty RP and constant douchebaggery. As per Aganthas I didn't RP bad, never saw any rewards, never really cared. I still remember catching you at the Council and almost whooping your ass in a graveyard with Malthalia. Shame we didn't finish you off.

~

Is try and change the subject like a five year old kid who was just ask if he ate the last cookie. Sure you have cookie crumbs all over your face, but the dog peed over there on the rug so everyone should look at that right? And Aganthas is not the first one to notice Imperial mass log ins and outs. Hell every time I see one of them log on I think to myself lets see how long before the rest of them show up. And you know how long that normally is? about 15 real time minutes. From one imperial to three to five imperials, so how about you just respond to what he said instead of changing the subject to focus on something else?

given how much false things he wrote I did not feel like I want to debate about it. And honestly no matter of what I write, noone will read it. Instead, they will continue bitching about something that exists only in their minds.

As for login time.. My login time is nearly always the same for one or two years already.

Do you want to blame me for other's guys time login? That sounds quite dumb. Personaly I try to play when numbers of hero characters on nearby maximum.

Also it's not like Empire the only cabal who has mass logins periods. I remember seeing 6-8 Fortress or 4-6 battles/nexus/outlanders on regular basis.. period. But unlike some people I don't bitch about it on forums.

What does bother me about the entire thing is I recall you saying you had drinks with about five of the russians who play CF, and did so often from what I hear. That does bother me, cause if you know them well enough to have drinks you know them well enough to know who they play and when they play and you all seem to work your times of logons togeather. Not saying your a douchebag for doing it.....well yes I am. I just cant wait till you get the big Z smack down on your asses for being the biggest perma ####in up CF today.

Nolstrovia #### face

repeat my mistake in future.

It gets old, but I see it as a propaganda campaign akin to your Fortlander accusations. It often works--look how the Fortlander accusations created the lone wolf suicide squires. Woohoo for easy meat!

6-8pm system time can be a lot of fun, I agree.

Sure you do. I think I have heard similar complaints on every cabal channel I've been privy to listen to, and I am confident we could probably find some commentary from you to that effect on QHCF if we really wanted to dig, but there's no point.

Where people are frustrated is that we have seen you kick ass with several characters and prove yourself alone and in groups, but your current incarnation is tough enough that killing this ageless character when you are alone would be difficult, but nearly impossible when you are traveling with others who happily follow along in your wake.

I admire what you have accomplished, but you have big shoes to fill of your own creation. What I fear is that your Ahtieli experience will sour you from accomplishing more with other characters. I really wish you good luck.

Now, Aganthas, you were one awesome creepy dude. I found myself wanting to shower whenever you interacted with my current. Wow! and good job there.

you will never find a single post of me bitching about anything.

as about fortlanders.. they exist but as I said I'm fine with it.

~

The "klingons," as I call them (like the ####ty smears at the bottom of the toilet bowl), could defuse the whole thing by rolling up something uhh...not imperial.

It'd be fun to see how you all treat each other in PK. My guess is an occasional kill to throw on the logboards as a cover. But hey, that's better than you all being in the same cabal.

nt

I have seen all you ####tards log on many many MANY times all within under 20 minutes of each other. Same play times my ass. Of course you have the same play times cause you all know when the others are loggin in and make sure you have the same play times. Go back to the bar and tell Ahetilie to suck one

Completely and utterly solo (well, had zombies).

I really think that was my only shot to kill her and I missed a freaking cranial when she was gushing, but I'm sure she'll laugh at me and tell me I had no chance to kill her. Heh.

Just abit of correction though. I earned only one War Master and only one Dread Lady during the times of Ahtieli. And I had one War Master in your beloved times of Kostyan. The funiest thing though is the number of russians in the council.

I enjoyed fighting you. I screwed up when you got me in galadon, but doing that and living through it was impressive, and I tip my cap to you sir.

Deathblowing villagers frustrate the #### out of my char, but you've all been pretty decent about rp and not bragging/talking major #### (one noteable exception), so well done aganthes.

Look forward to your next.

f

A lame dude.

I wonder if he was also Cyrus and this was Cyrus 2.0 because the original one got kicked out of Battle.

Bleh.

Overall, I liked and hated Aganthas. It was like a ball of multi-colored wax - blue for like, red for hate - bundled together and spinning around the room slamming into the walls. Certainly memorable. I have a feeling this was the reaction you were aiming for. And, of course, you knew what you were doing and were always looking to get in on the "action."

Internally, I had you "pegged" as either Aether or an elf fortress warrior named Ajirkahn. Apparently you're not Aether, but did you play Ajirkahn? If so, kudos for me.

I played Ajirkahn :-P

One of the few incarnations to beat Kostyan and Igbah one vs. one with their decked suits on.

Hey man, I really enjoyed this character, I think you were hated by those outside the village (that's a compliment), I saw nothing but good things from you. Nice job! Last night, before we hit a little bit of a lag storm, you mentioned that your 'lifeforce was waning quickly', I wish we could have done more...but it was fun.

As for me, this is my second character (in a span of a month) after a 3 year break from CF. It's fun playing again - but I still find myself trying to remember things. Like the other night when I stumbled getting to Susubienko in the shadow grove It seems like a lot is coming back to me, but some of it is still tough.

Anyway, good times...good luck with your next!

I've consistently played the same weekday hours my entire char's life. I live and work in the U.S. Eastern Standard Time Zone. If I have time to log on, I usually will do so between 7-10pm EST.

I hate being implied in cheating rings. I do not know anyone OOC. I don't use IRC. I don't know how to write a trigger. This is my first War Master character. To take it a step further, this is my first Imperial Council member.

You whine about being ganked, but you should expect to be ganged down if you're on the Imperial Road - It's called "IMPERIAL ROAD", not Battle rager parity road. Furthermore, after you die on "IMPERIAL ROAD" and unghost, and come right BACK to "IMPERIAL ROAD", you're going to be killed again - especially when you use your ghost status to get past Centurions.


Outside of all that - I thought you were a ballsy rager with a deathwish.

>It's called "IMPERIAL ROAD", not Battle rager parity road.

FYI, I think this is hilarious and am a little tempted to add it to Death's repertoire.

I'll trade my trademark on it for a 3rd legacy choice.

russians started immigration into US

FUK THE RUSKES

At least part Russian. My great grandfather was born in Russia. My great grandmother was born in Lithuania. However, my grandparents were born in New York. My parents were born in New York. And I was born in New York.

F'n Russian perma-cheating-lying-stealing-pillaging-plundering m'fer that I am.

Ah, I feel better about my heritage all the time.

~

I'd consider it to be more stupid than ballsy, when it comes to my actions.


As far as the whining is concerned....it's just annoying. As soon as the hamstring lands, I either need to waste a potion, heal refresh, or run away like a pansy. It was just frustrating to me to have to spend time, every single hamstring, getting more coins and potions. I'd rather be able to just fight(Which is rather difficult when fleeing becomes impossible) than to be glaring at my screen going "Here comes the hamstring....I know it".

I'm not saying you were incorrect, nor was it anything against Aganthas, it's just one of those "meh" things for me.

All in all, I LOVED Aganthas' personality. Really. Many Battleragers play the 'Respect your enemy' field, you don't. I respected that, and liked it. I thought it was great that you'd glare at me, tell me you could destroy me, and then just ignore my babbling. I'm not being sarcastic, I promise. That badass, ####-all demeanor was what kept me liking you. It's nice to see different genres of characters(Especially when the whole of the Nexus is the Herald Cabal but allowed to raid).


Okay, that last line was way innacurate....To a degree....But it feels like that sometimes.

Not that it's a bad thing.

I'm going to shut up now.

I had mixed feelings about you. Your second day as a rager and you were ordering people around, telling people how to do things, and several of us were looking at eachother like you were a complete ####head. Then, two weeks later, you got me killed. Pretty much bottomed out on you at that point.

Still, you very rarely backed down from a fight and you had some truly amazing fights when you didn't know I was there, watching from the shadows, and I had some respect for that. I felt your pain regarding the marans hunting you all the time, it always seemed you were fighting them far more than the mages or cabal enemy nonmages. Ragers aren't well set up to fight priest classes so much, especially evil ragers against goodie priests with high power equ, it's a bad matchup. I saw Nepenthe's post and yeah, you whined about it some on cabal channel, but no more than others in your position, so I think maybe his criticism on that point's a bit unfair. Or maybe I just wasn't around at the right times to hear it. For me though you didn't whine any more than anyone else on that score, so I thought well of you in that regard.

Anyway, you no doubt had an impact on everyone around you, and it was all ic, so right there is a compliment. Well done.

>I saw

>just wasn't around at the right times to hear it.

It wasn't all (mostly?) on the cabal channel, for what it's worth.

But it's also possible that I'm unfair.

But when it comes to holding you somewhere, or just keeping you from getting to me, there really isn't much better way.


I always kept a closer look on my Where pk when you were around.

One of the most incredulous things I've ever heard in CF was when you sent me that tell (paraphrasing) 'I just beat your ass completely solo, why don't you fight me solo more often?'.

You realize why that's an insane statement, right? I kept wondering if you just wanted me to pad your PK stats instead of trying to kill you whatever way necessary. If it makes you feel better I did a lot of soul searching to figure out where the line between honor/Maran was.

I really really was hoping the complaining about me usually fighting with one other was just the character, but seeing your past characters I realize that's something you're known for.

Maybe play a mute next time?

Wow...that was a quick con death...wasn't that long ago you got inducted. Hope you had a fun time of it though

170 hours in 2 weeks... and I heroed after about 110... so about sixty hours in hero range and I wouldn't log off against Maran or Empire hordes, hence many, many deaths accrued. Was fun, i'm contemplating another build to tinker around with. The vulnerability matchups were just too much for me. Lightning swords on a giant with 60+ damroll was just too much for me to handle. Even with soul your talking 700 hps shaved off with one flurry. Tack on light swords and some + str weaponry, and if I couldn't rid them of a sword fast enough, it was game over for me. That and wrath-spamming paladins and storm giants wielding thunderlance was just too much for me to realisticially outlast anything. I did land some kills against those wrath-spamming twits, that much did make me happy the few times it would happen.

I should have replaced Fires for Forsaken. It would have saved me 4-5 con most likely. Live and learn.

... was very hard to stop. You were one tough beast. Enjoyed interacting with you as an enemy. We literally changed our tactics drastically to fight you effectively. Well played character.

Just wondering...

I played Ilvakihj as my last real significant character.

I didn't think Aganthas' "I'm the awesomest guy, everyone gangs me, I gang no one, no one will give me a clean fight, and I'm kind of a #### to my allies" act was RP, but I was hoping. I mean, Aganthas was sphere Anger. It seemed possible.

But that's exactly the way Ilvakihj was, too.

As Ilvakihj, I liked to think I tried to take care of my PC's where I could. I also didn't consider myself honorbound or a non-ganger. I gave clean fights where I could, as Aganthas I went way farther into the threshold of parity. I think that is a huge difference between both. That and Aganthas didn't die for the sake of saving his partners. He died for the sake of unleashing his rage and anger on his enemies. Chaotic Evil psosiopath who really loved killing for the sake of killing as much as he did Magi.

:-P

Just a homicidal maniac with no care or concern for what was going on around him.

An example of a lunatic. Last death for him, knowingly, I didn't run back in to save Malakhi either. I ran back in for a dead Magi.

I enjoyed fighting you though, as you always were up for it. But, I didn't feel to well about killing you like 3 times one day?

Ooh well, a shame you went out that quickly. Your combo must have raped most other builds, dagger/mace on arials are sick. I'm curious on your legacys though?

Soul + Fires... it's what constantly baited me to stay way too long in a fight when I should have been fleeing. Learned a bit more about Fires this time, just how much you can rely on it, etc.

Personally, I REALLY didn't like it. BUT I didn't have soul, I took whispers to go for more of a exploration build...

Too unreliable in my opinion for anything to seal fights or really turn them around. Granted I will guarantee you I earned atleast 10 or so PK's I shouldn't have, it also made me eat alot of deaths over alot of other choices I could have taken. From what I can tell, it really only starts to be incorporated at 25% HP which in my case was around 260-270 hp, 1050 max with decent armorment, it didn't make for much room for me to maneuver with. If my opponent wasn't already bleeding wounds, it really was still going to be a loss for me. Even at bleeding wounds, i'd need to pull off something amazing to get the kill, normally relying on evade as well, which FYI, is like the worst tactical strategy you can have going into a fight.

Like I said, if I could do it again, i'd have taken Riddle or Forsaken. Save the Fires for races who can pump real hp. Dwarves/Duergars. At 1600 hp and firing off at 500hp, I can see fires having its uses. At 260, where something like a pincer, or d-thrust, or pugil or bad disrupt or any other heightend attack can wipe off half of that, it just isn't worth it. 4 rounds of heightened melee even as a berserker, thirsted, tossing d-blows isn't ordinarily enough against super-prepped opponents.
