Didn't meet you much, but have to agree with the crowd, you did better than anyone can expect for a new player in hero range. Especially seeing you were uncaballed evil, that is a tough choice in it self. Good luck and come back soon!

HAHAHAHAHA.

Well, it was fun.

First off, this actually was my second character. Props go out to Jaegran for the interactions with my bard, Ffladaur. I had left a previous MUD after playing for about three years, and while I won't go into details, I left pissed off. I came to CF because I knew a couple of people from high school who had/still played here, and thought, what the hell. Let me say that this is the best PK MUD I have ever played, first of all, thanks to the Immortals for creating/maintaining a faboulous game.

I rolled Kruuank basically to learn the nuances of PK in the CF environment. I think I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to be successful at PK, not saying a PK god, just saying successful. I totally did not expect to hero this character. In fact, in my three years of playing MUDs, this is both my first con-death and first hero (I had gotten two characters on my previous MUD to one or two ranks of it). I was impressed first with the ease in rolling. Great thing, that is. Next, I was impressed with the consistant level of roleplay I received. Maybe that was due to most knowing I was a newbie, I don't know. I was also very impressed with the amount of areas Carrion Fields has. That had been a problem on the previous game, as there were usually only two or three places to rank, which really sucked. Finally, even though I was a dumb giant, I was thoroughly happy with my skills. Important ones went up mainly from ranking, and others from the many, many PKs I got myself into. Kudos Immortals.

Man o man did I want to delete this character. So many times after I died stupidly (my role was that I was dumb, basically, but I'd say only 10% of the dumb crap I did IC was actually role-related. MUDing under the influence of smoke and having a very beautiful girlfriend led to some truly 'gut-punch' moments. Two really stand out, in my mind. The First was at the Tara'bal when I was killed by my Imperial groupmates, because for some reason I thought my assassin ally was the assassin I was trying to kill. That was mostly the fault of me conversing the whole trip there with my girlfriend, who was pissed off that I didn't go to bed with her. Second was dying at the Nightwalker, though goddammit, someone could have recall'd me. That bit of cheese was mind-numbingly brought on by me being a dumb ass and for some unexplicable reason thinking 'I wonder if I can rescue someone out of PK'. Yeah. So while my character was dumb, and some of the crazy/stupid stuff I did was in the name of roleplay, sadly, most of it was me being a dumbass. On to the Goodbyes.

FORTRESS

Meagara - I have been reading these and Dio's boards for a long time now, since even before I started mudding. Killing you, knowing (speculatively) who you are is probably the most thrilling thing I have ever done. Really thought you were a cool character and it was a shame we only fought those three times.

Ulothrye - Like I said. Best enemy I have had in three years playing. I was a slave (my role), so the shovel comment came at time that caused him to remember being a slave. That's why I got so angry, and tried to kill you at any moment. You were an absolute beast when you were geared properly.

Hrugald - I hated/loved you. You represented the continuation of a character from my role, and I was always trying to kill you yet win your praise. We fought all throughout the ranks, and I'm glad to say, you made me choose Calming (which I'm not even sure helped...). Felt like I lost a good friend when you deleted.

Kalus - Man, did you ever get it as bad as me sometimes. Said what I wanted to in your graveyard.

Krazen - A shame we didn't fight more. I sensed facets of your roleplay at times, but towards the end it was just the fighting. Keep at it.

Bligduum - Bliggy! My man. I wanted my last death to be to either you or Alriac, but alas, it was not to be. My favorite lil dwarf punching bag, I'm glad I got to kill you solo at least once. To often, I found myself in groups PKing, when, believe it or not, I'm usually a solo type guy. I will be waiting for you here. Congrats on your title.

Alriac - Wow. Wow. Yeah, getting lagged for about thirty rounds kind of sucks, but at least we got some titles out of it! Heh, you were a beast, and I knew your legacies but still for some reason thought you couldn't lag me that well. I was wrong. Good luck with your Maran.

Breallye - Best roleplayed character in the Fort right now, maybe in the MUD. Was very impressed that time you worded me at the Tara'bal. Perhaps it was amends for gating to Alriac that one time in Galadon? Good job, try to immort with this character (if that's your cup of tea), think you would be great for the job.

Xilla - Mixed bag. Don't know your role, so let's just say Kruuank hated you. You did real well though, sticking it out through some of the horrendous ganks on you, so kudos for that.

Kelayna - Same as Xilla. Will say more when you delete. I hope you took to heart the last things I told you.

Hirken - Good luck. Try not to be Kelayna's dotting puppy, however.

And finally, the bastard who took at least three con from me, Feichin - Man, we had some battles. It's funny, the fights you would win, you crushed me. But if I landed a boneshatter and a whirl, you were in trouble. I don't understand why you don't have a title and I did, but who am I to complain. Well done.

I noticed that the Fort was in power for roughly 80% of the time I was logged on. Not saying that that was a bad thing.

BATTLE

Dolza - Man did I hate you in character but respected the hell out of you out of character. Both times we fought it was quick and brutal, shame I could never fight you with you not having the head or me more prepped. That last time you got me, was my second to last death.

Iasolar - Sorry about the ganking.

Surthurr - Hated you. IC of course.

I want to roll up a rager, because I never see any of you.

TRIBUNAL

Kaazra - Said what I wanted to in your goodbye. I really did want to delete after that death there.

Falun - We had a very interesting relationship. I'll have you know that every character of mine for the last three years has hated law characters. Every single one. You almost made me rethink that, but I still hate you bastards That time in Voralian...well, contrary to what Salvator thinks, I thought you handled it perfectly. Good luck, you badass.

Volicitry - I never wanted to kill you, and ended up getting you once and almost killing you again. Well played, good luck.

I still hate law cabals.

EMPIRE

Ornargra - First imperial ally. Thanks for the ranking, the role-play, thanks for PKin me (DOH!). Good luck on your recovery.

Ahtathurn - From best ally to worst nightmare. So scary. Well played, and know that I'm not mad about the last death. Thanks for the ranking, and regearing me all those times.

For a while there, I almost took the oath. I still think my neutral ethos would have hurt that, and I never saw imperials on towards the latter half of this character's life. I only participated on raids of the Palace twice, once after Ahtathurn attacked me in the Fort. Still, you guys seemed strong, even with Yag being your empereor for a while (Hi Yag, The Bull said whutup).

OUTLANDER

Phaxhedea - My lowbie nemesis. Said what I wanted to in your goodbye. Good luck on whatever your playing now, alright?

Orpiato - The man who once tried to show me something. I really wish you hadn't deleted. Oh well, thanks for ranking me, your RP was always intertaining. Good luck on your next.

Tac - Was nice smashing with you that one time.

I liked OUTLANDERS. If I could stand not using coins, I'd probably roll one.

SCIONS Which everyone thought I was...

Gralez - I loved you. We seriously caused some havoc at the low ranks for a while. Sorry if I got us killed, but I kind of figured we wouldn't have a shortage of PK opportunities. BTW, what was your con when you deleted? I could have really used someone like you later on in my life.

Xunyenvun, Kargthar - First generation of SCIONS that I was allied with. What the hell happened to you two? Liked travelling with you both.

Razmorthin - The second person I owed. Thanks for the trips, the regears, the exploration, the PKs. Thanks period. Sorry about all the times I logged out quickly without explanation. That's mostly my girlfriend exerting the power of womanhood over me. I am glad you have a title, next they just need to make you Chancellor.

Chakru - My best friend. Ah, the joys of a healer being on at the same time as you. Good luck, and well played.

Gondrak - Was fun the few times we rolled around, but god damn, did I not understand a word you said.

Most of the reason people thought I was a SCION was because I rolled around with Chakru and Razmorthin a lot. I mean, a lot. But that's mostly because when I logged on, there was usually at least 4 fort in range, at least one of them a healer, usually a couple goodie tribs and Outlanders, a couple ragers who wanted to kill me, and a bunch of gnomes that only talked to me if I initiated (and that was intentionally rare). I had fun, and while some of you wanted me to attempt to join, both Kruuank and I knew I wasn't exactly true SCION material.

UNCABAL'd

Khobedi - I love you. I still remember'd that debt, and probably would have aided you if it came down to you or Raz. You are the only person I can say that about. Your badass, try not to lose heart over Kasdenn (Kasdenn, if you're reading this, why DID you attack me in the Fort?).

Mizzarah - Awesome, simply awesome. As good as I thought Khobedi was, you were simply inspirational. Thanks for letting me share a little bit of your roleplay. Nice short description!

Crullen - My true best friend. We laughed, we fought, we died, we slew. It was a great ride, thanks for showing me where the midnight dragon was, and thanks for the *hint hint* about that berry. Hope some of the knowledge I gave you helped, as well as some of the things I gave you. I'm so happy for you, with your title and tattoo, and hopefully, you'll accomplice even more.

Basteley - Thanks for the ranking. Where have you been?

Lunata - Thanks for the ranking. Where have you been?

Kegoni - Thanks for everything. Where have you been?

Sorry if I forgot anyone, I'm damn near in food coma from the turkey. The K-Man wishes everyone a safe thanksgiving, and thanks for CF.

Seacrest.........OUT!

Heh.

I said most of it in your goodbye. But, thanks to you man, I didn't con-die like a hundred hours earlier. Good luck with real life, and come back, alright?

Trust me, I tried to word you but the damn piece of eq made you unwordable. I will really miss Kruuank and hope time allows for you to return to the fields soon (I need more allies!!). I was a lot kinder to you than I was to anyone else, scions included, because you were around a lot & despite your deaths had a lot of heart. It was always great to see Kruuank on and in range.

All the best and hope you had a great thanksgiving.

Damn, from where I was sitting, it looked really freaking tough for you - evil uncaballed isn't the easiest choice for a newbie.

You beat me solo quite a few times, though you usually didn't seal the kill. I remember Feichin being so surprised that he lost to you when you hit hero. Hah.

Much love, I like to think we had a good relationship. Don't neglect your girlfriend now... Role up a goodie and play with me next time.

I think I'm gonna be joinin you here soon.

Well that stinks. One less evil.

You were good to have around when I wasn't pissed at you


Good char, hope to see your pbf soon

I never really knew you, never spoke a word to you I think. After you continuously struck the Giant with the Scions, I could swear you were one. At least you made yourself an enemy of Dolza so I could have one more person to trade blows with. For a while there, when the Fort was ridiculously strong, I had virtually nothing to do. There were practically no Scions or Imperials about at all so at least you gave me something to do. I spent many hours looking for you but could never find you. If I did spot you, you didn't sit still for long. I'm not sure why you despised me so, we never spoke and I could never find you for over a month. I only managed to attack you once in the chessmaster's but your groupmate managed to save you in the nick of time. I finally had a chance to fight you at the end there as well, I could hardly believe it...yeah, it was a pretty brutal fight. Out of curiousity, did you avoid me? I looked for you constantly but you never came anywhere near me and when I did see you, you left the area promptly. I was hoping for some good battles. I guess it was not meant to be. From my limited interactions with Kruuank, I thought you played very well and I enjoyed our brief battles.

I look forward to your next. And you are not the only one who never sees any villagers either *grumble*. I will clear some ground for you to build your hut next to mine in the village .

Dolza

After that time in Chessmaster's, I was attacked usually on sight by villagers. At the time, you were the commander, so I assumed I was being attacked because of your (supposed, heh) orders. Plus, you killed Crullen that one time after I died to a Maran group, and Crullen was my ace.

Mad props to you though, like I said, I hardly ever saw villagers around. And yes, I usually avoided a conflict with you unless I had to.

Damn...
Who am I gonna get to disembowel everything now?
Thank you for the interactions and your help. A very well played character and a very kind player. I hope you continue playing difficult characters, and shining just as bright with them.


Good luck with your next, and thanks again.
Crullen.

Did your previous mud is Solace?

I fought only once and I was really surpized that you did not run away as most of my pk and I am really sorry that low level bitch looted you . But anyway even after one fight I can say that you will be really strong player soon. You just need to learn a bit more about preps and eq.

Good luck with yout next.

Other than Dolza and maybe Kaazra when she had shawtabbies, you were the only person I really did not want to fight solo. While we did fight solo that one time, it's a testament to your prowess that the day you got ganked (you posted a log on Dio's of one of them) I had three or four seperate people sending me tells of 'Faltarn has fallen and lost his equipment'.

And no, I never played Solace. I played a crappy CF derivative that I know several others here have played.

Tac - Was nice smashing with you that one time.

Yea, I wished we could have done it more, but Tac thought you were a scion too, so I had to avoid you a little. It's too bad we couldn't have coincided a little more, we would have wrecked shop together.

I liked OUTLANDERS. If I could stand not using coins, I'd probably roll one.

Don't do it. It's a lot more than giving up coins.... Play a villager, you get power for what you give up, also, it should suit your style of play perfectly (from what little I saw).

Seriously though, you were awesome, and a real testament to what new blood is capable of. Best of luck with your next!

Tac

I ####ing loved you. Seriously. You were the ####diggity. It is rare where I meet a newbie who actually tries, it was great. Sure, you made a few mistakes along the way and ended up getting us into some stupid deaths. Guess what? You sealed us a lot more deaths then you got us killed. And I got us killed my fair share too thinking "oooh, shweet, fire giant axe spec bud and I, we are so kicking ass" and then walking into our 10+ enemies . Sorry for losing some of your sick sick sick sets, though we went through them fast. Also, I hope I helped you regear a few times. Though honestly, I think you became a better player then I ever was by the end of this character, you prove that a newbie who tries hard and studies/learns the game can be crazy good. I had about 13? con when I deleted, if I remember correctly, and I just got bored with Gralez . I regretted it though when I watched you fight. Also, sorry that I didn't respond sooner, I've been on a CF hiatus. Thirdly, your logs on the dios were great, brought back some good hit-n-run memories.

-shamanman

...I am in dental school...not much time for CF, I don't know how I even heroed...I liked you a lot, could not tell that you were a newbie keep up the good work!

Loved fighting against Kruank. You made things fun and interesting in our fights.

Outlander is easy without coins because of the barter system. And there are super advantages to any of the three branches of Outlander.

Good luck with your next!

You rocked. I loved that bashing yourself against the wall until
a hole appears thing.
At first I was Hrm, evil.. Kill.. blah blah. Then after Harkan saved you (first time ya got me, or was it him?) and told me that He didn't want you harmed, I got to wondering why. So I watched. I can't count the times I passed over you, or gave a location but refused to strike.
but Of course after a while of passing over you I HAD to make the token attempt. And you just kept on going.
I was impressed with your tenacity, and was oddly proud as I watched you get better and better as time went on.

I'm very glad that I had not landed a kill on you in a long time. Though the last few:
I'd swoop in thinking make a token attempt and flee early turned out
to be me seriously fleeing for my life. Go you.

The last one.. cranial and I was thinking oh #### I'm ####ed. hehe
The cranial incidentally saved me by the way, had I flown before resting, I'd have died in the sky. Didn't notice that until I got back to the fort and had like 15 moves.

I am REALLY looking forward to your next character.
as a piece of personal advice I'd suggest you play a few
dinky characters and learn as much as you can about the
battleragers and roll one. I think you'd make an awesome
villager.

You were my favorite villan. and I'll miss ya.
-Feichin

I thought you did a great job. You were balsy and didnt hide and avoid people when you had gear you might loose.

You need some defense though to gain a better perspective of the game. Id play something totally defensive orientated and see what its like to have long drawn out fights. You start to see patterns in how people fight and have more time to plan things out when you know you arent going to die or kill the other person in 3 rounds.

Im still playing the game, I just dont have time to commit to a real serious character. Take care bro.

nt

This was the most hilarious and nasty character I ever met! Loved all interactions with him. Dang it Imms should have gotten him a Con-quest though I think he was trying to Con-queer all of Thera the rotten Con-curr!

Well played, fun, and so forth!
