Not too much to say, should keep this short. Fortress was getting it's junk kicked in when I came from what I could tell, I inducted 23 people, so hey, I guess I did contribute some! I tried to make interviews painless for all involved, the three folks who I didn't induct would have gotten really really hurt in the Cabal (If you're trying to join a cabal, learn the directions to it please). Heheh.

Rayihn, I liked your religion and enjoyed our interactions. Don't listen to the haters! You make things fun.

Farigno, thanks for that interaction early on, I'm glad you're getting your promotions and stuff.

Innis..heheheh, that was just too funny.

Corrlaan, thanks for giving me Captain, sorry if I didn't last very long but my attention span is sort of limited.


Itholin, thanks for the induct, I enjoyed talking to you about Fortress stuff until you went and got beat up too much.

Acek, was fun ranking with you, then you dissappeared, then you came back..and here you are!

Cortland..you ####head. Orangutan and Tiger, and then you vanish. Terrible!

Rhajhea, I enjoyed traveling with you a lot, you should have joined as a Scribe. How's Aturi going for you?

Zernhop...man, don't boss the Captain around, and listen to the things he asks you to do next time, eesh.

Kharg! You're a beast and yeah, I knew you were going to outlive me too. There wasn't much of anything I could do against you, but it was fun trying.

Okay, my head hurts. I know I'm leaving out a TON of people, but just respond and I'll say stuff back if you want.

I made up Phryxal because the Fort looked low and I wanted to try and bust some heads in, but I really wasn't as deathful as I wanted to be. However, I got a lot early on and I was real happy about that. Tatted and Maran'd by 60 hours was a shock to me, and Captain at 100. Fort must have been REALLY down. Heh. My legacy combination didn't quite work out for me. Space between heartbeats and Crashing of Waves..IF YOU ARE A FELAR DONT TAKE CRASHING. It's not in the helpfile, but evidently you need strength and a lot of it. It probably progged for me about 19 times total, 7 times in pk?


Anyway, thanks to everyone who makes this game fun. I was surprised by the lack of looting, and that was awesome. Kudos to you guys. I had good enemies.

Uh. Yeah. Night folks.

Sorry to see you go, but I figured it wouldn't be long with you not showing up as much anymore. I enjoyed our interactions and wish I could have fought beside you more. Anyhow, good luck on your next!

Elf healers heals you! YAY!

Phyraxl says, "please don't heal the shark"

Haha, yeah, sometimes you really have to spell it out. It was bad enough you were doing ***DEMOS*** through sanc and beating the #### out of me, but then to have my healer healing you instead of me kind of made it even more interesting! Believe I got the heck out of there after that.

Damnit, I would've liked to fight you more. It's pretty nice with warrior who doesn't spellbane everything you throw at them every now and then. That time in the mountain I wasn't prepared but didn't quite want to leave you either.

Oh well. Another day.

Good luck on the fields!

I know for a fact that it helped you at least once!!

I think I had you frozen and I wasn't expecting any more commands coming from you until you were dead... and all the sudden I've got no weapon and I'm the one almost being dead. I didn't know at the time if that was a weapon prog or crashing. But parrying with your hands is a surefire way to not win a fight as a mage. Good stuff. Tough cat.

On one hand, it was nice to fight a low int race that wasn't in Battle.

On the other hand, you hit really hard and retrieved the Orb after several failures by others earlier.

I would have liked to fight you more and see how things played out as tactics evolved and changed, but our times didn't really mesh.

I enjoyed our limited interaction.

When the imms place the burden of judgement on you don't be a ####wit and say I need to wait for them. I don't think you can begin to grasp how frustrating it is to be told to find a character who is obviously about to delete cause he never leaves the fort or his gods shrine and only logs in for 45 minutes at a time.

The imms tied my game enjoyment to yours and you were a ####, I hope you rot in hell.


Aside from that your obviously a good warrior and in everything except our little disagreement I think you were an excellent captain. I just don't deal with waiting well.


Ohh and I told you before you took crashing that it wasn't gonna be a reliable choice with your combo. I made the same mistake with an axe/spear spec and only had it prog in pk 3 times in like 60 hours of constant fighting and 2 of those times they had no remove weapons on bleh.

Yeah, I really didn't like you, at all. It shined right through who was behind Zernhop as the roleplay from your previous character hadn't changed a bit..and I say roleplay loosely, mainly meaning how your character acted. My main problem with you was that you were always looking down your nose at everything and everyone (that's how it seemed to me anyway). We'd get into a pk situation group vs. group, and you felt obligated to dictate who should do what and when. I understand that you're experienced, but if you're going to boss me (the boss) around, please don't even begin to complain when I ask you not to use one of your spells outside the Fortress (webs). The third time I blundered through your webs and got -dex on the way to defend, I got fed up and asked you not to do it anymore. You launch into a 'You haven't studied my spells all your life and don't know what they're capable of' tirade. I know they're capable of sapping my, and everyone else thats defending's dex at least. And then after you were pissed at me and didn't give me shields while I was raiding and had to walk back through your chance-death-trap in Balator, oh man you almost got uninducted.

Anyway, I could go on, but I'm not. I didn't like you, and I wrote your half-assed recommendation only because I knew you had been waiting a couple of weeks and I was about to delete. Three things could have made me delete a month ago:25 inducts, 200 hours, or Zernhop getting promoted.


Other then all that, you're a competant player and know your ####, kudos.

Umm this sentence here

And then after you were pissed at me and didn't give me shields while I was raiding and had to walk back through your chance-death-trap in Balator, oh man you almost got uninducted.

Proves this sentence right

You haven't studied my spells all your life and don't know what they're capable of

Unless for some strange reason you didn't use mantle.


I also never withheld shields from anyone in the fort, even those folk I did not like at all. In fact i more or less shield everyone I pass everytime I pass them almost.

Again though I thought you were cool to other people and we just had a bad note. Next time maybe we will meet in a different cabal.

If that's the case, go ahead and work your foot out of your mouth.

If not, please explain?

--

As far as Balator goes, my Mantle was down and I had no mana, and you made sure to give Falorian shields at the inners, but not me. I was tanking, you knew it. You made your point. I walked through Balator with ~250 hp and happened to be buffeted south instead of east over the ice and into the knight.

In order for you to have been blasted by that you would have had to

A.) Not been using mantle or flight
B.) Got hit by the vortex in a specific direction with 4 possible outcomes
C.) Slipped totally through the next room on the iceslick
D.) Had pass door up or another player had come and opened the door again
E.) Had no wimpy set

I mean honestly thats a lot of stuff that needs to occur for you to be in real danger. I was not trying to get you killed or anything like that. And your right I do recall not shielding you on purpose. I also made that decision because I knew with our force in numbers and the lack of defenders that it would not matter.

Thanks for showing me some goodie gear locations, my first goodie in a minute.

Cheers!

Aw Crap. I really enjoyed when you were around. I do agree you seemed to leave quickly sometimes at the end, but I guess if you burn through chars that must have been the reason.

I kind of had more things to speak with you, and I've always been amazed at the time it took you to get tattooed. lol.

Oh well, come back to us at some point. :p

I was honestly surprised too. But I was in her shrine about every log on early on telling her all the adventures I had been having and trying to relate them from the outlook of her religion. I wasn't expecting it, but it worked out!

Come back to us at some point..hm..at some point!

Was really looking forward to running around with you more, sinc we're two of the faithful, and your title was so cool. But, yeah, didn't get to see you much besides logon, raid, then logoff.

Stick it out! Even if the Fort is bursting at the seams!

~Mende

Yeah, towards the end I just kept getting busier and busier with other things and as a leader I felt kind of obligated try to log on at least once a day for at least an hour. It was either do that or not show up at all, and I really hate trying to get inducted when leaders are no-shows. After I finally realized I wasn't going to get any better time-wise I decided to delete and let someone else step up.

Good times before though!

..you were amiable and I think I power ranked you if not to hero darn near close to it, then again I've power ranked so many people with armadillo I've lost track. Anyways you did alot for the Fortress in getting the numbers up even though they had to be culled quite a bit due to the Sunshine players. Good luck with the next.

Was fun having you about, I kind of got caught in the middle of your fight with zern.. I was hoping to leader with you but it was not in the cards for nilian. Fine warrior, good captain. Hope to see you around again.

Ah man. I had fun with our interactions and damn, I was hoping you'd stay around. Sorry about he disappearing act, just got a new job and it was hectic for a bit. Anyways, good luck with your next!

^_^ Everytime I saw you, you had solid RP. Good Job. ^_^
(even when you did not know I was watching you)
I hope you had fun as captain.
I wish I did not get beaten up so much. I loved playing that invoker.

You inducted two of my characters. Suiphthor and Wuenbesh. Both interviews were absolutely hysterical.

Suiphthor was in the shrine, more or less. We had a good talk, it was my first fortie and you knew it. Then I went and busted some heads. A few days later you show up. "Have we talked, come to the fortress" after passing me not two seconds earlier and giving me two hammers. And.. blammo.

Then, during an unknown duel, I had a nice little ambush to ruin the party. Can't ruin an interview more than that, eh?

At any rate, having never hero'd with either of those two, I think if you were to make captain again you would need to 1.) Make your instructions brutally clear. Regardless of my dwarf RP, most of the time you were rambling off instructions for the lowbies to do, it was far from clear. Hell, at one point you told me to go start on the vanquisher, and two minutes later said that I should have remained at the fort. A lot of miscommunication on your (And my) part that I think could have been cleared up with a bit more thoroughness. 2.) Give orders more. When I picture a captain, I picture someone who will command his army (ship). We were marshall-less, so you were the top dog. I think if you acted more the part it would have helped me, personally, and perhaps a few other people in the long run. If you know what you're doing, which obviously you did else you wouldn't be in the position you were, taking orders is not bad. You may butt heads with people now and then but ultimately you can stomp your foot down and say how it is.


Just my... well, about twenty pennies by now. Good luck with the next.

Heh. We had a long talk in Rayihn's shrine and I got a feel for Suiphthor and told him to do a couple of minor things. You did them and later I inducted you.

We had a talk with Wuenbush outside of the Fortress, a baddie game in, you put down an awesome ambush, I was impressed. Inducted you soon after.

As far as miscommunication goes: Raids get crazy. At that time it was like 4 hero Imperials vs...me. I had asked you to go start on the vanquisher about fifteen minutes before I went to go poke my head in to see if I could finish it. After realizing there were Centurions and you wouldn't be able to do it, I asked you to go back to the Fortress and wait to hook up with someone else I was sending there to come to the Centurions. I managed to get by the Cents, leave and wait, then go get the vanquisher down some, leave and wait, then retrieved.

Raids are hell for communication, because you don't know who's going to show up where or when. I didn't like to send in Squires to do my work for me when I knew there was a good chance I could retrieve on my own, so I didn't boss people around much, nope. I liked to think that people I inducted could interpret the Creed how they best knew how and follow it to the best of their ability without me ordering them around all the time. I've had cabal leaders ordering me around all the time while I'm trying to rank for pointless tasks, it's a 3 on the fun scale, trust me.

If you want to be pointlessly ordered around you should play a bloodoath.

Phryxal was both funny and competent (yay!)

Much like a lot of your characters, I think.

I'm curious what you thought about Space. I had it with Morior, and while it did add a bit of damage occasionally it never really made a difference in any fight and I think Morior would have been better off with another legacy. I'm curious to know if it was any better with you.

I played Enniallien, Seonex, Bliggy, and a couple of other random forties, by the way.

Space was great for ranking in Sitran and skeletons. Those extra automatic attacks were just awesome to watch. I'm not sure if it was always 0-4, but everytime anyone did anything other than fight during a pk I got 0-4 extra attacks, and that was cool. I THINK that with something like a storm giant sword spec with crashing it would be a WHOLE lot more effecient. I was hoping that I would be autodisarming folks like every other round like I had seen in some logs (or thought I had), couple that with Space and man this character would have been different pk wise.

So I guess in short, if you can find a combination that puts other characters doing something other than fighting you often, Space would just be amazing. Storm Axe/Pole Crashing/Space Maran, yummy.


And thanks for the compliment, I like my goodie chars to be fun usually, at least he wasn't as abrasive as Leqiel!

I'm glad you had fun with the religion and all that. I liked your attitude and RP, the way you hounded me in my shrine until we both felt like you 'got' it. I sort of missed you coming by after I tattoo'd you, but Fort Captain is a busy job.

Next time, try not to inundate me with beavers and crabs, eh?

Very good, job. I made Lindi with pretty much the same
goal (ie helping the non existant fort) and you were
always a welcome sight during those long outnumbered
hours. Heh heh, thought we made a pretty good dang
team as well

Lindilia.

Hey, thanks for the complement! Contrary to what you might have thought, you were pretty tough for me. Imapale plus your leaderweapon sucked pretty bad, and you were very, very slippery. I thought the RP was really good as well, so all in all I enjoyed the character. Some fun fights, you were always definitely up for them. Have fun with your next!
