Now I will never know the true benefits of grease. You didn't get around to writing that note. Oh well!

Yeah I really wanted to do that too. It was a good idea on
your part. There was a lot of stuff I wanted to do with this
char in regards to the "greaser" aspect. It's too bad that I
cannot ever really "redo" the role because it would be painfully
obvious as to who I was.

Haaaaaaaayo!

(If you all remember Hacksaw Jim Duggan from the WWF, that is what I was trying to sound like.)



Well I have never had a dwarf and I have had less than a handful of warriors. My idea was to let the dwarven hp suck up insane amounts of damage while I chopped and hacked away with axes. And if I got my weapons taken from me via disarm, weaponbreak, str loss etc, I would just toss my weapons aside and brawl with my fists. And that worked out pretty good too. I picked two legacies that had no fancy bells or whistles echo wise so that was rather boring. I picked Calming of the Tempest and Harmonious Equilibrium. Harmonious equilibrium was AWESOME and I dont really know if calming of the tempest helped or not, who knows? In the end I deleted because I was dying so much and I was getting really really fed up with the drastic swing between enemies and allies. I really liked it when the imperials had the numbers because I feel that that is the goal. But what really pissed me off was playing for an hour with 9 imperials in range and only me and maybe one ally and then an hour later having every single imperial log out and then a half hour after that start watching sylvans and other fortress members trickle in. Coincidence? Maybe..
but I will say this again..

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE, PLAY ONE CHARACTER. If you feel the need
to have more than one hero at least make only one of them caballed eh?
It's a bit ridiculous.

Oh and I really liked the new practicing system. Actually I loved it. However, I do think that the gains were sometimes needlessly small. Like when I would get a 1% in offhand disarm or something. I always thought "Uhhhh thanks?" Or when I would have dirt kicking at 97% or something and I would get a 1% gain to make it 98%. It real cool, but it frustrated me to get the bonus percentages on a skill I would likely master in the next 20 minutes of ranking. I think a good solution to this would be to NOT get % bonuses in skills above 90%.

Anyways goodbyes

Imms:

Shokai: Thanks for making me a Maran n' crap. And thanks for making
it public to the Fortress. I know a lot of people in the past have
only figured it out by random chance sometimes.
Gogrim: Heh thanks for the random bit of encouragement.

EMPIRE:

Khalizad: You hit like a god damn troll, but I do not respect you as much as I could because I dont think you ever came at me without someone else nearby. Even when I was chasing you wearing only what I was born with and a pair of axes.
Vai: We had a LOT of fights but I think that they only ended in death maybe twice. One for me one for you. I really liked the time I beat you that one time because you had me blind and disarmed me and I threwdown (awesome command) and beat you with my fists.
Sevaracan: You have balls. Sometimes when we would raid with four and there were equal number or more imperial heroes, you would be the only one to show.
Astilamos: Nothing to say. You either only went out when you had numbers or when you were alone I would chase you until other imperials showed up.
Izuvererus: You obviously have skill gathering shawtabbies.
Amadalie: You were cool enough. I remember that time I pincered Jaedren when you and someone else were raiding. It reminded me of that old log of Yaofhil, Siorgriend and Narissa. Dwarf pincers human paladin when he meant to do it to evil half-elf shaman. Wierd coincidence.
Avaldi: We went through the ranks together at pretty much the same clip. You were always down to brawl with me.


Scions:

Ilrahsek: I liked that you made moves when you were alone. And my oh my did you have a ####load of wands.
Ghuljun: I saw you once.

Tribunals:

Liriel: I am so glad I finally got your trash talking ass.

No one else of note.

Troupe:

Mossi: Yer funny. My little gnome-dwarf.
Darch: Your toss faster than a teenager with a stack of playboys.

Warder:

Didnt really talk to any of you. I think the only time I raided with
you all to retrieve one time.

Tower:

Zinshu: It was nice to have you around. You obviously knew what you were doing and I could always count on you for help.
Azharadon: I dont really know what to think of you.

Fortress:

Rogardian: Thanks for inducting me. I wish I could have seen you around more often. You and Coronado got shafted in that treaty. Read it again carefully. I know you wrote it but there is a huge hole.
Coronado: Same as Rogardian, except for the induction part.
Jaedren: We got inducted at the same time and you had the same mentality as me. Just charge in and hack.
Cersai: Learn to be more independent please. I know you know where #### is, you dont need a wingman to do everything.
Vorondel: You are a great asset to the fortress. You saved my ass on multiple occasions and helped me kill a few people too. I believe you have found a way to use your spells in the best possible way in serving as an acolyte. I was hoping you would be the one who took over after Jhanderin.
Jirash: I loved farkin' around with you. Alas, I guess we played at different times or something .
Rahnac/Calisha: I wish you two showed up more.
Lariya: I really liked how we interacted and worked together but I hardly ever saw you around.
Jdenskyn: My bro. I really liked your agressive attitude. Just remember to keep those preps up. Rams n' crap.
Zacharyn: Your connection must suck donkey nuts or something. You would be right at our hip and then I would turn to you when I needed something and you would be linkdead.

Probably forgettin some people

Well goodbye n' crap

Gondorff


Jhanderin Meridannon Cardinal of the Golden Sun
Gastaad Gaophan Kingpin of Galadon
Kavuul the Weaponsmaster (battle spear/polearm scout)
Phaistus the Gaze of Acumen, Whisperer of Endless Secrets
and I dont remember past that.

In alot of ways I felt bad for you. I know you were dying alot, and it seemed no matter what, you died . Still annoyed you five got me on eastern against me and the healer, but protection wore off, and I didnt have any other preps but the healers. Oh well. Jirash blackjacking the healer wasnt good for me either. hehe.
Right now, I am one of two hero range Empirials, one you mentioned earlier, and sevarecan. There are 10 maran/warlocks at the moment.
I do not have another char, nor do I like having multiple chars. I know there are alot of people that log on a lowbie, do who, and play on the side that is winning. It disgusts me. Most of the time I was on and you were on at the same time, it was an extreme of one or the other, you guys having a ton of people, or us having a ton of people, and one side dominating, except the times myself and izuvererus are on at the same time, and we just go after five of you at once or something.
Did I ever fight you alone? Dont think so, because of this. Sometimes neither side was in power, just a few small people of a few different places. I remember choranek Alkantol or whatever his name is, and aldarri comming after me alone. I killed all three with no others and no preps eh.
But considering the numbers I was almost always facing, yeah, I am usually with a few myself. Why, lets see, four and five maran against me alone, or four and five maran against me and two or so other people, usually just one.
You like to weaponbreak, and for some reason your weaponbreaks work damn near all the time, mine so rare its sad.
-Insert me not fighting an axe spec with only two axes, no backup axe, and no preps. Do I know you are nekkid wearing just two axes? No. I assume the worst, that you are comming after me with the invoker's shields, sanc, and preps and fully clothed.
That is how you survive in Cf, and last till age death and get a good pk ratio. You dont fight unless you are fully prepared to fight against the best prepped of that person, unless you think you can handle it, or if not, get away.
Hence why alot of shifters play air forms. They are prepped, already ready, and the one on land hasnt a clue, has no preps up, and so, easy target.
hope that made some sense, writing a note on cf, writing here, and being wary of an army after me.
hehe.

>In alot of ways I felt bad for you. I know you were dying
>alot, and it seemed no matter what, you

Yeah I died a lot, I was surprised at my ratio.


>You like to weaponbreak, and for some reason your weaponbreaks
>work damn near all the time, mine so rare its sad.

Yeah it worked almost all the time for me. Was so reliable that I
would be a fool not to use it. Maybe its that hidden dwarf axe stat

Yeah, I realize this. However I believe that prepping is boring and ruins the game. The only preps I ever went to get were detects and enlarge. Anything else I ever used I got from corpses or it was laying around.

hehe. How do I know that you dont bother with most preps
Yeah, getting preps is boring, and in truth, mages get the best (in terms of amounts/kinds/slots to usage/etc for you anal peoples) no pun in your handle. And yeah, repetative, hard for the better ones, etc. But worth it.

I just wanted to explain my chars reactions to some others.

Right now, I am one of two hero range Empirials, one you mentioned earlier, and sevarecan. There are 10 maran/warlocks at the moment.

Where are you pulling these numbers out of man? Izuvererus, Kogefibo, Astilamos, Sevarecan, Yuntewara, Menzaen, Avadali, Amadalie, Dolomock, ofcourse you... just to name the ones off the top of my head in hero range. That makes ten, plus however many I'm not thinking of right now.

its done by typing who pk.
I am not saying that the Empire has, I am saying who is online right now.
Or right then in that case

We had some good fights but only one fair which resulted of me running. I wish I could have heroed and get you before you deleted...but oh well. You got me twice in a raid...once was when I showed up against you and Azharadon (I still wonder why) and that time I followed Izuvererus and killed Cersai before I got pincered to death by you and Gorthalon.

But what really pissed me off was playing for an hour with 9 imperials in range and only me and maybe one ally and then an hour later having every single imperial log out and then a half hour after that start watching sylvans and other fortress members trickle in. Coincidence?

I wonder about it as well. You don't know how it sucks getting hunted by many goodies but when I'll delete, you'll have a chuckle about who I am.

That fight in tar valon I was really proud of. I still went after you after I was unable to dual wield due to boneshatter. And as I was pursuing Amadalie kept summoning me. And then when I finally caught up Khalizad just logged on to about 10 rooms away from me so I let up.

Go on and forget me fat ass.. Pffft, now only fattie is left from the three fatties.. too bad.. anyways, I liked that yell alot and it was always a pleasure to hear it over the cb-channel.. Good luck on your next one.

Gwyythinniel

I had a lot of fun with you. You were always willing to try stuff and get crazy with me. I still shake my head and sigh when I think of that raid that went to ####e because of a certain bard. *whistles innocently* Fortunately no one died. And I am NOT FAT.

Dammit. Why?

I loved having you around the fort even if I wasn't too happy that time we charged into Izuvererus with his tabbie-army and Khalizad on Eastern and I got two-rounded.
You fought well and pulled off some things I didn't think was possible, but then, dwarves seems to have some inherent ability to rush off into combat swinging an axe and then coming out alive on the other side.

Oh well, hope you'll come back in some form, you'll be missed. Toots.

Jirash

What I told you in character was exactly true. Each and every time you spoke to me, I was either hunting down someone who ran, killing a strong mob, or anything like that. So the reply was Moment.. very often. And I forgot about it afterwards..

Sorry man, but thats life for a busy invoker.

Nice character by the way, liked the way of speech and your attitude.

I liked you a lot, but I think we just had different playing times. My time has been cut a little lately with work and stuff too though. I always thought that "Haaaaaaayo" was from Thundercats. You had me laughing a lot with the stuff you'd say, especially all that about 'stuffing the mine shaft'

You were a pretty balls out fighter, and I wish we could have done some stuff together at hero. I have to say I'm impressed to find out who you were too. Phaistus was one of my biggest enemies back in the day. Good job.

About that mine shaft thing and me keeping regular by eating fruits and berries. Do you by some random chance have that logged?

Liked the speach thing. Have watched you with younger charactors. Killed you once with a shifter I played Demandroiv, while you were raiding with some Paladin...Dying to a cobra must suck....Next time, try to disembowel. I have been reading logs on Dios recently to keep up to date, and your logs provide some enjoyment.

Still like Jhanderin better...back when I was playing Briessa. Now that you have a taste for blood, try something evil....you seem to be improving your Pk abilities with each charactor.

nt

Gondoff, Thanks for the bites.

Demandroiv is gone?

Went on holidays...came back, and decided enough was enough. Retired!

Plus I hated playing that charactor..worst char ive played ever...heh

Preps and Rams, right. Its a whole lot easier now that I'm an Acolyte, but its the curse of low int.

That's great that you were Jhanderin and Gondorff. Never would have guessed. I was rather upset that Jhanderin deleted and hanging with Gondorff made it fun again. What do I do now that you're both gone? Fark! Wish I could have been around more often to keep you from dying, might have prevented this a little. Also, I think we made a pretty decent team.

Good luck with the next one, hope I run into you again.

God damnit, why'd you go and do that?! One of my favorite inductees... and the first to delete. I did notice that you died a lot though, I thought you played a good dwarf. Well, be good man. We'll see you next time around.

Rogardian

ps: This is one of the funniest things I've read all day

Izuvererus: You obviously have skill gathering shawtabbies.

Ah crap, a shame that you're gone, I liked you alot. I too was surprised that you were Jhanderin, I would never have guessed You certainly were one brave and well-played dwarf, and when you were not there I always had the feeling that something was missing.. Anyway thanks for inducting and tutoring me as Jhanderin, and thanks to both characters for the great friendships.

See ya in the fields,

Vor

I spend so much time camo'd and creeping about in the woods, we didn't get much of a chance to see each other. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed hearing you talk over cb. It was funny and always made me feel good. I was also told that you got really upset when Ardyana got killed once. That made me feel good both IC and OOC.

As a player I am really impressed with the diversity of your last three characters, all of whom I have interacted with.

Good luck with your next one and keep up the impressive and fun stuff!

Ever since you attacked my in the Grove I was after you, stealing from you, trying to find when you had a weakness, and then you caught me when I was weak on Eastern, and hacked me up nice and good.

ya talked some good trash, it was fun

Well kind of.

But I fought you so many times but was never able to kill you. And then finally I did and it made my day.
