720 hours, ~200 pks, and 4500 imm exp and no other rewards except a leader position (by virtue of being the only character that really qualified for it). This isn't an isolated incident though, what's the secret to getting IMM rewards (besides having nep's wife as your patron?)

I have no idea how much imm exp I got. I will say that I don't remember ever getting any for any of the chats Mergulla and I had. We did spend quite a bit of time together.

I guess I should have read my pbf. Anyway... I like Sulye a lot and man did you get me in a couple of good ways. We had some great fights and I respected you more than Mreash though both equally skilled. I thought you were more willing to "step out" of the wilds and fight some.
Good luck!

He got a title as a non-empowerment class and in only 500~ hours. Thats amazing love! And Daevryn only made one negative comment about him, how much more love can you possibly want?!?
Outlanders haven't had an -official- active imm in the cabal for a really long time, we just don't complain about it. We are cool like that. We are still somewhat watched though and often picked on and spit on by other cabal imms when they catch us doing something naughty, esspecially if its to their kids. Still, word in the forest is that it is about to change but who knows. We are lone wolves and therefore too cool to care.
But seriously at least Sulye got a title, look at what Mreash got.

Man, I either had the worst luck with you, or you had the best luck with me, I can remember at least twice teleporting and standing there no more then two seconds and getting ambushed to dead....and the one long drawn out duel with Arrna...only to defeat him and have you ambush me afterwards. I did make a classy escape that one time in the underdark though......all in the fun, keep them going, peace

Wow, you just tooled me in our first two encounters. First was realy well placed trap and even I did enjoyed it..though would I not be lazy and buy some speckled pills I'd survive I think. But then you just owned me in Evermoon not even in the wilds (btw was it haste or what?) and all I could do is sit in far coner under closed door and wait out insects to quaf return). After that things changed a bit and I managed to get you two or three times. Still all those ambushes while gathering preps...heh. Thanks for the title btw and good luck on next.

Good times.
I rolled Sulye after deleting my evil conjurer experiment. I'd never had an outlander before and had never had a successful ranger. I like to alternate between good and evil from character to character, and the evil conjurer wasn't really alive long enough to "count" as an evil. Hence Sulye.
Originally I'd considered doing mountaineer+explorer, but then I figured there's a lot more forest than mountains, especially around the refuge, and besides I kind of liked the idea of using scrolls, call lightning, etc. Better bearcharge would have been nice but I'm definitely not disappointed in having gone forester+survivalist.
As far as ranger PK goes...yeah. It's frustrating not being a cloud giant. There were so many times when, after snaring someone, I'd waylay them down to writhing but miss the bearcharge and they'd just flee/tele. I consoled myself with the fact that, had I been a cloud giant, crappy creep would probably have cost me as many kills as non-crappy bearcharge would have gained me. That's probably not true, but it's what I told myself.
My role: originally I was going to "investigate" all the strength-related imms, get rejected by all of them, then hit up Yean. But at some point I decided the restrictions Yean typically imposes would cramp my style...so then I was just going to hit up the strength-related imms and try to get their "thoughts" on strength. I got smited by Thror (which was expected), ignored by Baer (but thanks for the title!) and could never get in touch with Enlilth (whom I expected to also smite me).
Speech patterns: I'm not really sure how this developed. At some point I just noticed I was doing it, and I admit it's weird for a felar, so I wrote it into the role. Basically Sulye had a psychotic break and proceded to "go feral" and run around alone for a long time. I tried to explain the degraded speech as a side effect of the isolation.
Thoughts on looting: I literally looted almost nothing over the entire course of Sulye's life. Early on in the low ranks I'd take stuff I needed. At hero I'd take return potions and maybe preps. At times I even returned stuff that I could arguably have used, just because it was only marginally better than what I already had and the other guy couldn't have worn what his stuff would be replacing. Think I passed on looting humansunder three separate times (Liethkim, Alimas and either Derogker or Glurgick). For the most part I was treated the same way. Part of it, though, was probably that 90% of my gear was felar_only. That never hurts.
On Fortlander: I was torn on this one. On the one hand, I felt like I should kill fort guys mercilessly just to counteract the fortlander accusations. On the other hand, I felt sort of lame camping outside the fortress in a snare all the time. So I tried to be judicious about it and only do that sometimes.
On taking items: I tried to be intentional about not camping at the refuge whenever we took another cabal's item. I hate that crap. So if anybody ever refrained from retrieving because I was online...know that 99% of the time I was nowhere near the refuge.
Anyway, some shout outs:
Quird- Fun to be around, got stuff done. Can't ask for more.
Mergen- Crazy kamikaze druid. Running around with you always showed me something new when it came to the bounties of Thar-Eris.
Nado- thanks for showing me the simple staff. At least I think that was you.
Hakdu- Same thoughts as for Quird.
Yugrut- Again like Quird, you were fun to be around and effective. Thanks for showing me the outlander-friendly return potion.
Dupmasione- For much of Sulye's life I viewed you as kind of a douche, but I warmed to you later on. At the same time, after the one encounter we had in the jade mountains, I pretty much decided never to fight you again. There was no point. Also- your response to Sulye's taunts re: killing squires is pretty close to what I would have said if I were captain, so yay on you.
Lornkanamas- Yay for rescuing evil dude from the avalanche! Heh. You had to know I was evil when you did that, right?
Anyway...I'm sure I missed some folks. If so, I'm sure they'll let me know.

I personally was always confused by this, because Strength isn't one of Baer's spheres. Is there a reason you pursued her that I'm just not getting?
That aside, I didn't really watch or interact with you at all outside of Gertie, and that much I enjoyed. GLWYN.

Good job on Sulye, you were definatly wicked and a good counter to me in the tree. Some decent conversations on Leader channel from time to time, usually with differing opinions on applicants/members because of our obvious differences in beliefs.
Good luck with your next "Vile One".

I was wondering just how long you could hang on I was fighting with you two characters ago, and even got the kill too!
At any rate, well done all around, saved my hide more than once. The classic one was against a dark-elven transmuter who chased me from the palace, then tried to get the kill near the keep of the righteous there and you step out with an ambush and killed him in one.
Always good to see an age- and/or con-deathed character, I hope you had loads of fun, and GLWYN.

Never guessed who was playing Sulye, but I did enjoy our time together. You were a solid presence and a far better leader than I was. Glad you stuck it out to age death and got your full mileage, something I'll always be jealous of with all my characters.
And try a Nexun mage next. Just a random thought.

At some point, very very early on in this character's life, I defended the Fort from you and someone else with my lowbie dwarf. It may have been my first cabal defense, ever (before then I'd only played Heralds), and I had a hero healer backing me up.
The tells you sent me afterwards sounded like (to me) that you were going to kill and full loot me every chance you got. So I didn't really have a high opinion of you.
Good to know (from what you said about looting in this post) that those weren't your real intentions. Splntrd

When I yielded to you and admitted defeat, you said something like, "But at what cost?"

Human shifters in form. For instance Feline hatred would help against a tiger, felar, or lion etc.
But back to you. With that set up you could stand against a gator?
It just boggled me that I could spend so many rounds fighting you and put some pain in you, but nothing to any shifter I ever fought.

Help human hatred includes humans halfbreeds and minotaurs(wtf?)
Help feline hatred and avian hatred seemed to elude to shapeshifters because in the related files they mention shapshifters.

I was looking up rangers the other day and came across your post asking about them in Dios. However, even before that, the way you behaved...you were extremely helpful, willing to take time from whatever you were doing to show me things or come bring me a yellow root inorder to fight two giants and survive.
You were a classy guy (or girl(?)).
I think someone once praised how helpful you had been to them on CB and duarte said 'Sulye did that? Real nice guy, that Sulye' sarcastically. It was something like that, and i kinda had to agree. I never quite got that evil vibe from you, just a really nice classy guy pretending to be naughty. However i'm sure outsiders would have definately gotten that evil vibe, so Good job on that.
Of course, losing another good leader will hurt Outlanders alot.
Anyways, good luck with your next.

Very lethal ranger, you would always catch me in places where I was doing "maintance" (gathering preps or gold) tasks and you would always tear me up.
You never looted and where always in character as always *gclap* for your professionalism and another well played char.
You gotta admit though that one arristea kill was sexy sauce.

I don't recall many fights with you outside of me getting struck and me running and quaffing. Rule one when fighting a ranger- don't fight on their terms unless you have no other choice. You were a terror in the wilderness and I have to respect that, and I think you probably did get me one or two times though I can't say for sure. Knowing you were on, and usually there were others as well, deterred me from even attempting solo retrievals.
Knowing who played Sulye, not surprised she was as good as she was. Well done, can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Didn't interact all that much but the times we did I sure got a solid feeling about Sulye. Was always hoping to fight you when you where online. But that last time was quite funny. I was heading that way to try and find Ssirenia. Didn't quite go as planed =)
But tell me is playing a ranger as much sitting around waiting for a target as I think it is? I always shuned them because I would have a hard time with that.

... We sure had a bunch of interesting fights. It felt like you really needed to come up with some plans to get to me. That time in the consortium was nice though. I felt safe since I had just 2 ticks earlier been told that you were at the fortress. So I figured you couldn't have seen me sneak in there... Heh
That time on the ocean when Frorania and I got you.. That was one of the most insane PK moments for me in CF. I saw you on where, and then you were gone. So I ran like 2 west, 3 south and typed bash Sulye, and it was all spammed commands. I remember that I thought I was stupid for spamming commands like that, and then the bash commands comes, and SMACK, I based you! You walked right into the room just as my preordered bash hit.
Anyways, awesome char! And thanks for the intercation and induction with Jaina. As always your awesome, keep them coming Isildur!

A pity I didn't get to know your char better. I enjoyed our brief interaction, and I really liked what little I saw (heard) of your role.
Yes, I fully expected something of the sort when I gated to you that last time. I still can't decide why I actually did it. Maybe I was a little cocky, maybe I just thought it'd be nice to give you one last kill
Anyhow...thanks for filling out the ranks of evil and adding some much-needed diversity. Look forward to meeting you in the fields again!

Yeah, I kind of figured that with you being so close to dying an age death, I could justify the not-douche and try to inspire you to want to find some measure of balance (if not redemption). Of course, the fact that I knew full well that I couldn't kill you alone (except possibly in the most extreme and extraordinary circumstance, which I doubted I would ever find you in, considering the skill you played her with) might also have played a part in my decision

I really enjoyed the first time we met and I was looking forward to interacting with you many more times. I'm glad you enjoyed the character and I'm sure I'll see you around.

Some stats:
PKpH at ranks 1-50: 0.35 (90 PK / 257 H) PKpH at ranks 20-29: 0.70 (32 PK / 46 H) PKpH at ranks 30-39: 0.34 (20 PK / 58 H) PKpH at ranks 40-50: 0.32 (36 PK / 114 H) PKpH at rank 51: 0.22 (104 PK / 472 H)
So apparently 20-29 is the sweet spot for rangers?
Combos that killed me solo in hero range:
Mummy w/ PWK (Adeglicfh) Storm Swords Warrior w/ bash + flurry (Humbert) Cloud Swords Warrior w/ bash + auto-disarm + flurry (Biklaha x 2) Elf Shield Paladin w/ defiance + shield bash (Dupmasione) Offense Shifter w/ trustall + aristaeia (Lornis) Lich w/ PWK (Ahtieli) Arial Invoker w/ raid situation + sequester (Valkyneth) Gnome Shifter w/ raid situation (Jerjerbei)
Thoughts on some edges & skills:
Scrolls: After playing a thief I expected scrolls would be a "big deal" for the ranger. That's one of the reasons I chose forester/survivalist. They ended up not being very important at all.
Track: This is totally underrated. Tracking people let me know where they had been ranking, where they went for wands, where they went to gather preps, which wilderness shortcuts they took or didn't take, etc.
Call lightning: Also kind of underrated. Especially when you take into account the lodestone edge.
Growling cry: This was worth the points. Without it I'd have never used feral growl, since I would have had warcry up all the time. The boost isn't huge, but hey...free damroll, resist mental and resist paralysis. What's not to like.
Apt learner: Wish I hadn't taken this. I took it super-early in order to maximize the amount of level gains I'd have, and I sort of expected to get more imm xp then I wound up with. Plus stuff went up naturally anyway, so I didn't need the bonus.
Human hatred: No idea how much this helped damage, but given that there aren't that many "must have" ranger edges it seemed reasonable to splurge and take the most expensive "hatred" edge. Conjurers, necromancers, shapeshifters, thieves and assassins all skew heavily human.
Snare evaluator: IMO this is a "must have" for any ranger with snare. It changes your tactics if you know a snare is going to fail. Plus you don't have to stand around babysitting it for 24 hours if you know its going to fail anyway.
Belly rake: Another one I wish I hadn't taken. The damage was pretty unimpressive and it rarely fired.
Lodestone lightning: IMO another "must have" if your ranger has call lightning.
Deft ambush: This wasn't very useful because I rarely did anything other than normal waylay or the occasional onslaught (which was usually a bad idea). Probably wouldn't have taken it if I could do it over again.
Combat statistician: I took this just because I had points left over and knew I was never going to get any new "useful" options. I'd never seen it in action before. Having seen it, I probably wouldn't spend the points again.
Herbalist/Expert Herbalist: These were pretty useful, mostly for the additional curative benefits. Mostly I used it to cure poison. In home terrain, I could find herbs once every 3 hours and each batch cured about 300 hp.

You were suitably evil but not in the way that empire/scion seem to be evil - that is, you were always sort of a secondary target for me.
Part of that was how incredibly difficult it was to pin you down to fight you. Great job on that.
I'm glad my answer lived up to your standards, since you played a great Captain recently. Or Marshall? I can't remember. Both probably?

I remember that time well. And yes, especially earlier in Lorn's life he was not afraid to extend a helping hand to some evils. Especially Outlanders, whom he considers something more akin to a misbehaving. misguided beasts than actually being 'evil' Not to mention, after that you never attacked me and always let me out of your snares without a scratch. A nice perk! It also let us build a slightly different report than I normally have with foes. I really enjoyed Sulye.

I'll take your word for it, but I think we had a pretty amicable relationship after that save when we were young. You even gave me common-foe updates/locations at times as well as warnings. There were plenty of times for you to, if not kill me, at least make my life very, very hard! As for knowing you were evil, my spirit sight at the time could only decipher Light and Uneasy feeling. So, the fact you asked for the aid of an Acolyte at first led me to believe you were neutral. I asked around and was told that you were probably dark, but nothing definite. Couldn't say no, though. So, I went in and chatted with you a bit before I sanctified, hoping to garner a bit of quarter for my cause.

From out of nowhere, you feel the Ancients stir.
A vision fills your mind.
A small felar pup is sitting alone in a field.
Hovering just above the field is a winged figure, peering down on the pup.
"Much pain and destruction this one will cause. Thar-Eris rejoice."
The mortal form of the same pup, now withered with age and lifeless, rests in a field.
"Thus is the cycle. Such a full life."
The winged arial figure strums on his harp, playing a mournful dirge.
"The city folk will breath a bit easier this eve," the Ancient says smirking to himself.

Sleeping dude has been around, just spreading the love.
Sleeping dude wakes soon, hopefully.
I really learned a lot from watching you.
Solid outlander, leader, character - all around.
Good luck with the next!
G.
