Gargargh: Keep truckin. Become the chieftain. Yes it's a big target on your ass, but it's fun.

Kackrik: HAR! Smellydwarf. Didn't really want to fight you, but then, at the same time, I really did. Had fun travelling with you.

Kardok: Ouch. Almost called you an overvirtued elven paladin. *snicker*

Kwalin: You bastard. I saw that coming and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.

Aiekooso: Thanks for helping me out time and again.

Njaal: One nasty duergar. You're going places in the Empire.

Haljunei: Got ya. I almost decided against it, but figured, hell, if you're helping sylvan, I'm gonna help the empire. Or I just really wanted to get the kill. One of those...

Arthakar: Bukbuk's only real friend. Was glad to have you around.

Gotumlir: Some damn good fights, though they usually went in your favor.

Grurk: I had a lot of fun with the one-upsmanship between us.

Flarkle: I hated fighting you, since I had to reduce so I could bash, and lost my dual wield most of the time.

Voronil/Pelthaas: Didn't really like either of you, but came around to respecting Voronil for the balls to the wall playing style.

Zentilsh: We had a lot of interesting fights that never really went anywhere. I wasn't a particular fan of your looting tactics, but then...what choice does the victim have?

Elstratuviel: IC, I thought you were a gutless piece of ####. OOC, I wouldn't play an elven bard alone against an orc, either.

Myrtrieth: Good fights. Very good fights. I hate boneshatter.

Jubilix: I made chieftain because of you, really. I was in a ranking slump, I run into you, and you kill me. I come back to get my things, and let you know I was impressed that you'd won, and somehow we ended up storming the mid-ranks.

Kroelgruk: Enemies to allies. I almost wish I'd kept you as an enemy, but I know I can't take on the entirety of the empire, and such is the fate of an orc to pick his allies wisely.

Varik: Same story, except we went from allies, to enemies, to allies again. Much the same as with Aiekooso, thanks for the help re-equiping numerous times.

Glarnak: Last, but not least. One, if you want to be chieftain (and I thought you were before Madas took it from you), learn the nuances of challenging for it. Second, be an active participant in the clan. Thirdly, know your place. I saw you like 4 times, and twice you challenged me for chieftain and lost without me ever having to lift a finger.

I'm sure there are a few others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Drop a line and I'm sure I'll have something to reminisce about.

Aww, you remembered me

Thanks! our fights were perhaps the most enjoyable part of this char, that one time were I forgot to shrink and you got me to 30 hp before boneshatter went off..shesh!

I definately was rooting for you as I do all of the orc chieftains. Your roleplay was very good and I was very happy when you brought along the orcs for that little quest I set up for you. It was spur of the moment or I would have had some traveling dignitaries there that would have posed a tougher fight for you. Good luck with your next.

We sort of said farewell in game. You get much much respect from heroing an orc. I do think besides liching, it is the hardest class to hero in the game. Some of the ganging you experienced from the goodies must have taken a great heart to endure, but i never heard you complain once.
Good luck with your next. I am certain it will be just as impressive as this one.

I just wanted to get you soo bad! but either you would run or someone would interefere. so you got me like a bunch of times. Very well played orc, very tough. keep up the good work and come back with something that kicks ass.

Told myself a long time ago I'd play an orc to hero. I created this particular character with a hands-off mindset, meaning I had no intention of doing much but reacting to what came my way. Somehow, that seemed to jetison me into a world of orc-hurt and angry RP that I never anticipated. It was quite fun, but as I'm sure Thrakburzug came to conclude, I just wasn't enough of an orc. I rarely full-looted, and even more rarely stabbed groupmates in the back, and I really should have been doing both of these things. Regardless, I've compiled a fair amount of time with the berserker class, and when I find an oppertunity I'll offer what concrete critique I think would be helpful. I suppose, in general, I found the class/race to be one of the more eventful and playable of the characters I've had.

There are quite a few farewells, so like my critique of the class, it'll have to wait until I sit down and pour through my logs. The Imm/Imp that ran the Darsylon raid, thank you. Thrak, thanks, as always, for the amount of time and direction you gave. Honestly, I think, had I been in your shoes, I'd have stripped my tattoo. I tended not to work towards the appropriate ends to keep an orc diety satisified.

The rest of you...farewells will find there way here.

Peace.

You got rooked that time in Galadon above the sewers. For what its worth, I had no idea Grurk was in town and would arrive so quickly. Your stuff probably landed in the spire.

I was waiting in the sewers for berserk to fall, and made an unitelligent decision to take one more quick peek before it fell. Lo and behold you took the offensive and came to me, and Grurk was head hunting me already. No matter, I made him pay for it. The downside of the whole thing was being an orc chieftain, and dying to an elf. Just didn't sit well, ever.

For you were Seflirn, weren't you? Strange coincidence that I'm now following in your footsteps with this character, even though mine is not exactly a Warlock. To put it mildly.

An Orc (and the chieftain at that) and an anaconda, out on the prowl together. Both our characters had some golden moments this way, beyond a doubt. The truth is, even with the most recent chances to constriction I'd still consider Orcs among the most desirable groupmates for it. Walking next to the horde always was a great thing as well, and your roleplaying during those events pretty much was the icing on that cake. Bukrinuk's deletion is a loss for my character in several ways, make no mistake about this. But as you said, it was great while it lasted. Well done.

I wish there were more to say, but our characters met relatively late in Bukrinuk's life. So in closure, let me give you one piece of advice for your future Orcs - instead of ordering the mobs to rescue you, try and use fallback from now on. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

Be seeing you around, Chief.
The Anaconda.

Sorry this is a bit late, but I have been swamped lately with all sorts of commitments. Actually I thought Buk was a decent orc, and I never regretted tattooing you. Hope you enjoyed any of our interactions. I liked the way you continually changed sides, always angling for the best situation. As chief I also thought you did a nice job, although the last two chiefs set the bar kind of low. You learned that if you let the shinies go downhill, more folks show up to play orcs which ends up making the class more fun. Good luck with the next and all of that. Feel free to email me any suggestions, comments, issues with the class and all of that.

Thrak

You finally impressed me man. Even with a class that isn't known for being a beast at hero, you put on a good performance. First time I really wanted to pat you on the back and say good job. Next blunt is on me. Can't wait to see the next character.

P.S. If you had died to that healer I would never have let you live it down.

If he had died to me, I would have probably shot him then myself. But I should probably have shot myself for losing. Thats what I get for being a complete newbie and trying different tactics.

Well done, Bukbuk. Stop playing now. : P
