We made a pretty good team even when Ulthrok was still just entering hero levels. That was almost all you though (with me being your bash/cranial man).

The kissing Xeneth's feet thing was sort of a directive from Destuvius - he wanted me to investigate you (which you probably got wind of) and determine your true motives, and then show you your place as a Citizen, preferably in front of the Emperor and as much of the Council as possible.

I'd say mission accomplished. You handled it well, and didn't seem to hold it against me (maybe for a couple days you acted stand-offish (seemed like I was always a little slow on getting shielding for a few days)) but once we were in Hell, it was all back to "rescue me and I'll keep you shielded".

Thanks for showing me that thing in Organia (and the thing in the Mausoleum that you showed Celent and me). Even Twist learns something new now and again.

I remember showing Nhaseli that thing in the mausoleum and he was like "NO ####ING WAY I've been playing this game how long and didn't know?". Nhaseli PvE is insane though. He knows stuff.

My wingman... Healer and invoker can do anything together... You knew you way around, deadly, and funny to be around.

Argh... Huge blow to the Empire :-/

I have mad respect for you Kregan. You will share no blame for this, but you will share the glory. It was a good life, and there's a reason your name was said twice.

Thanks man!

In that case I am totally glad I did it its about time you moved on

It was a pleasure and a privilege.

Without the chance to find the words to say something to you when it happened. I will leave you with just as vague words.

That thing that happened. When we went to that place and you did that thing ... The end result was just horrid for you.

I cant help but feel somewhat responsible for this. But looking at the average age for an Arial you were close ... but it still doesnt make it any less sucky.

Thanks for everything. All the best!

I really enjoyed this character.

The Good.

Everything. Hell. Tiamat. With the equipment I was rocking, man. Just man. CF always has more for you. I mean well beyond a decade of playing, I accomplish new goals and learned new things. PK was good too. RP was fun.

The Bad.

Numbers are down. Took a lot of flack in game and on the other forums for things I have no control over, and that's just not cool. When I lost all my things to the crash after being the sacrifice for the second time. Zero imm loving. All RP and Roles centered around me getting my last name, everyone who killed Tiamat got theirs after the kill, I didn't.

Goodbyes.

Imms. The subject really can't define how much I mean it. The intense amount of effort that goes into everything around here must be tiresome. From the bottom of my heart, I have enjoyed all your hard work immensely. The Inferno is truly an amazingly beautiful creation to be very proud of. Tiamat fights are bright and colorful and definitely not easy. Thank you.

Empire. I have been a part of the Phalanx now for well over a years time. A Shadow Lord, A War Master, An Emperor, and two Citizens. I think it's time I leave you all. Its been a great honor to serve Dest and the Citizens of Empire. A few names will stick with me forever. The Dead Lady, Emperors, Ilune, Kregan, Divines, Shadow Lords, Boelga, Sindrir the profitable investment, Kregan, Celent (OMG did I pick that thing up?), and then we have Ulthrok. Ulthrok made me kiss Xeneth's feet, before Dest, Good times! For the eq I was rocking, I didn't even flinch to do it and it made for a great interactions during and following.

Tribunal. Really enjoyed the two days of the Provost. Good fights.

Herald. Had a few good adventures with you guys. Always one of my favorite places to be.

Scion. Anathema... it shall haunt me for a long time than I didn't get you with Nhasheli. I did get you with the previous though!

Scarab. Yea. Not sure what to say about you guys. Jeede we had some good interactions. I kinda pooped on you, and you kinda pooped on me back.

Battle. Really wish Kez had taken over. I admit sometimes it simply wasn't fair. I really thought when all the scouts were coming up and there was a resurge we could have an issue. A villager was Nhasheli's worst nightmare. So I made and effort to crush your attempt to develop. That was probably ill on my part and it wasn't hard. Two days of logging in with no head, and everyone stopped logging in. Harsh, but those are the facts.

Nexus. Really enjoy the fights. Talisin was great to interact with on both sides of the flip. Nexus had some really strong squads at the end. Some real stand out characters too over time.

Fortress. Now we had some fights. I know that the Empire had a large advantage most of my life. I really can't help it that others share my timeslot and enjoy the aspects of the game I do. I made an effort to stay out of some fights, and I would say it was too chaotic if I joined in, which is true. But some of you kept a good spirit of fun to our contests and I really enjoyed that. Thanks guys, you know me, I won't be so greedy next time with my souls and I will share some wins with you guys.

Outlander. You all have some real killers. I can't say that I enjoyed our fights as much this time around. You all knew where I stood because of the last character, but this time, I was much stronger. So we didn't get nearly the contests my previous did. I will say this. The Solo Defense against Lilyth, the villager axe zerker, and the fortress assassin on the full moon was fun. Glad I got one of you.

To everyone. I enjoyed this character as much as I have any before it, and I got a list of characters most people would say is decent. You know there aren't that many of us left. Seems all things are finite.

Final thoughts.

Invokers are sick. The amount of effort put into the mastery of spells is worth it. Shields are awesome. I learned so much about the class this time. Be-mused much love on the info about spells and such. If anyone has questions about the class, I'd be happy to share my thoughts. I really don't know what to roll next, I know it's gonna be controversial even if it's a naked shapeshifter that doesn't fight anyone or talk. Bloodoath alias deleted guys, I swear.

Rock on!

You do realise that your buddies revealed you were part of their group, right? Along with the rest of the group?

Stop pretending this wasn't orchestrated.

That gear you refer to was obtained by building a group around obtaining it.

You can think whatever you want, but there is no reason to try and take pot shots at this guy in his goodbyes.

You were a fun character to watch on the pk aspect of things, went and mixed it up all the time and it was obvious you knew what you were doing there.

On the RP side, it was really hit or miss. When you *knew* someone was around to watch you, your RP was pretty top notch. If you didn't think you were being watched, it sunk a bit. When you and team Empire were off doing some area explore stuff, the RP went away completely. There we some other people who suffered from a similar issue but yours seemed to occur more drastically, which was disappointing.

Something that was 100% not your fault also almost led to Empire ending up in a really bad way towards the end: You were but a lowly citizen and you had people from the Council treating you as an equal. That means you were very valuable, which is good. But it also means people were ignoring their own RP to try and ensure they kept an invoker ally, which is not good. And I know that is not your fault, so I cannot fault you for that, and I don't really like bringing it up in your deaththread (but its also kind of fitting since the issue revolved around you =P).

All in all, this is something I would consider a successful char and I am glad that you enjoyed it. Good luck with your next, whatever and whenever it may be.

LOL. I would say that's a very fair assessment of Nhasheli. Again. Thanks for all the interactions over the course of our History. You and the staff can come eat dinner at my house anytime.

I really enjoyed our fights, if dig plus cents didn't work the way it does we would have had many more but I do have a limit (rather high) on just throwing away con in low probability situations.

One day I may cave and be less of a lone wolf char so I can see the splendors of ultra explore places, yinz seem to be having a lot of fun there and I would live to see it too.

I have also led the village numerous times and just don't have the investment to be a bottleneck for induction so had I won the rites I would have turned it down.

I really enjoyed this character--and this is from someone who wasn't playing for your last invoker, whoever that was. We had some good times when light tipped or everything was balanced, and we had some fun fights otherwise.

When the imperial swarm really got out of control, it seemed like you would remove yourself from the gang--I definitely noticed, and thought more highly of you for it.

Thanks for showing me a few things here and there, learning more and more from players like you and Twist (and some living players), though it was sad that I lost that thing just as soon as we got it.

I did think that you and the Council were a little too buddy-buddy, but, like D said, that's not really your fault. I'm glad Ulthrok came up to smack you around some.

GLWYN--and ignore the haters. I neither know nor care if any OOC organization went into the current crop of imperials. You were a class act in every interaction, and that's all that counts to me.

I'll echo Destuvius and say I was slightly upset so many Imperials kissed your and Forwengveth's ass. As someone who played an Imperial Arcane Citizen, I thought you guys were given waaaaaaaaaay too much respect within Empire.

Then again, that's often an OOC thing. Players don't want to alienate another skilled player, often RP be damned.

Believe it or not, I wasn't often respected by the young Imperials. After seeing what I could do some came around to a basic tolerance and many direct orders by young imperials were fielded by Nhasheli, but most times they couldn't see me, (another basic tactical difference in the two characters). Those in the Council though, treated me with a very high level of respect, and from a player level I know it wasn't really Dogma and I neglected to complain when a few doors were opened that perhaps shouldn't have been. As a player, and as a character, I was presented a few opportunities with Boelga and Ulthrok where I admitted neglect of my duties toward them and people in power could have punished me. We RP'd it and we moved on in several situations. (After over a year of interaction with these people/characters/players on a daily basis, you could say I knew who joked, who was serious, how to calculate these situations.)

I respect the body of players and imms here. Give me a few days and I'll pull out another Pamalynn or even Rockeano, you know something Anti-Empire, (sorry Dest). Maybe it will be something new, that's the beauty of CF, still a lot of characters I haven't tried to go with the many I think I could do a little better next time.

I knew you were you fairly early and didn't make the mistake of dying to you. Unfortunately, neither of us would die to each other unless horribly overcommitted. I took stabs here and there, but it wasn't meant to be. I tend to go in unprepped and suicidal a whole lot and that's how I get kills usually. That's also how I get deaths. But you're not killing the likes of Lilyth with a mage unless she thinks she can win. Also, makes it more exciting for everyone. I play this game for fun and not for shinies.

Overall, I really didn't mind the Horde. What I did mind is that most of it stayed in the palace the whole time. This does not apply to you, you did venture out. I would even dare to say you were the lone imperial on, outside the palace, at times. This is a shocker, I know. GLWYN, make something killable, like a rager, so I can have my fun at last.

The first invoker was definitely played fast and loose. And Nhasheli was never unprepared, UNTIL I MET KOOB! Bad situation, good job Koob. I was really thinking I could locate a corpse and find you out of form above it just one time and get that kill. So close so many times! Always great banter ah thank you very much.

You indirectly put me in a situation that I thought would result in my Anathema or punishment via Dest or some divine voice. Thankfully I wasn't punished just for example! I look forward to more fights in the next life.

tells you "Just checking."

LOL
