1 o''clock AM, Day of the Bull, 1st of the Month of the Grand Struggle on the Theran calendar Xandera perished, never to return.

I'm going on a deployment (military) tomorrow and i'm not about to just "fade away" like so many other cabal leaders. Besides, i wanted to go out with a BANG, and considering that huge raid yesterday at the village (where all the villagers died at least once but still repelled us) i think it's favorable that i give them once last "go" at me.

Valguarnera... i don't know if that was you ordering around the Archmage, but people have real life issues to contend with. That's a huge pet peeve of mine, when the gods look down and see some mortal logging on and logging off, you HAVE to get in your head that this is just a game and "shouldn't" rule your life. Well anyways, thanks alot for those interactions. I had hoped there would be quests in scions again like that sweet as one that i did as Halisstra (yes i was her as well ). I have a feeling i know the direction you are manueving in cabal, and i think most of the scions will be pleased.

Hrm.. i think like... 4 people total know i had your tattoo .. WOO!

Urden - I commend you for your roleplaying ability, and it just proves i need to study a dictionary to expand my vocabulary because... just DAMN!

Uzurag - How about you wear some pretty clothes and stop looking like a rugrat? *wink* To bad you never saw me in my harem dress, but the folks that saw me dance sure liked it.

Maran - I hate paladins, especially as a dark conjurer with barrier rod issues.

Conjurers - For some odd reason, i have this feeling that this class simply is not "finished yet".. as if someone who coded it had all these great ideas but just... didn't complete it quite yet. Oh well, but well done anyways



Um, if it wasn't for this deployment i would have age-died her like i should have my previous, but oh well, s**t happens eh?


Have fun, and may Darkness corrupt your souls.

I was starting to like you. You did a good job and the last few days battles were great. It would have gotten better! Dont get shot.

Damn it. I intentionally let myself die for the one and only time and the next day you delete. That a 14k hole for nothing. bah.

Anyway, I thought you played out that encounter as you should. Well done.

Damn. Just when I was beginning to actually like Scions, you delete. And I was really looking forward to furthering plot with you. It was really uncanny how similar our views were and we held entirely different tattoos. I didn't get the whole curling my fur about your fingers thing either. But it was really fun. It just seems sort of cut off, I wish I spent more time with you than I did. (as I will with several people when I die.)


Well, I'll miss you. Good luck with the next.

Pity you didn't stay....but things are as they are.

Thanks for the kind words...for what it's worth, my last memory of you were what you said. Good luck on the deployment, and hurry on back.

My heart goes out to all you guys that might go to war soon. I thought your character was pretty competent, and you brought your cabal back together. (even if you did take a while to come up heh) We all better hear from you after all this crap blows over.

Wished before my exile we could have interacted more. Also what were you hinting at that one day in the Chasm? I was unsure if you were pleased with me or upset...Great job I wished we could have had more time together though .. you know realy life things get in the way I know where your coming from.

Well, I had hoped that the lesson I gave you in the Hall of Agony
would have made a lasting impression, and I guess it did!

I was pleasantly suprised to see you as Chancellor, and yes, I have
been watching things from the shadows, so to speak. Too bad you had
to go, because once you get to a cetain point as a Chancellor, it all
gets so interesting. Anyway, good luck with the military. Hell, if
this whole "war" thing gets big, I'm prime-meat for the draft.

Bizarro I'm helping!

I'm going on a deployment (military) tomorrow and i'm not about to just "fade away" like so many other cabal leaders.

Thanks for that. It's frustrating for both applicants and potential usurpers if you try to keep a leader job without keeping a presence. Option B would be to step down but remain in the cabal, but it sounds like you have bigger fish to fry then silly online games. Best of luck with the tour of duty. If you're a religious person, you could try using this prayer I pulled from our logs:
"Boss Shokai(*), grant me the sight to tell the good men from the bad men. Grant me also the strength to push down the bad men and take their things."

(*): Insert name of preferred deity here. Keep the "Boss", though.
Gotta be 'umble.

Valguarnera... i don't know if that was you ordering around the Archmage, but people have real life issues to contend with.

The only time I recall the Archmage giving you a hard time (which is much of his job) was when you spent so much time prepping and organizing that a lone level 40ish warrior just went and retrieved solo before you got there. There were a couple of other instances where you were being unusually safe around that time, and I wanted to goad you into leading a little more aggressively. Especially because I saw a lot of flashes of scariness from you, and it was cool seeing an evil conjurer taking the offensive.

Other than that little thing, that makes two very fine Chancellors from you. I'm glad you enjoyed the ol' Hints of Things to Eventually Happen.

As for logon/offs when times look grim, if someone gets booted for it, it's a safe bet that I've seen something weenie-esque or unroleplayful from them several times. The primary goal there is to slow the pendulum, and it's rare such decisions are final- most people get told something to the effect that their fate rests with the Chancellors from there forward.

Hrm.. i think like... 4 people total know i had your tattoo .. WOO!

Sounds about right. You had a cool angle on things, and you left me a lot of room for tie-ins with existing questy material. Come back safe and sound for more!

Inless I'm wrong, I was the one that retrieved the sceptre, and I was mis thirties assassin, but perhaps I am wrong, I remember coming to the Chasm and the Archmage chewing Xandera out for bein to 'careful' or something along those lines. Once again, maybe I'm wrong.

Military Deployments: An untimely end to many a CF character, but all for the greater good, really. Believe me, I know the feeling. Best of Luck, and all.
