I was always scratching my head about what I could do to a big angry kittah I couldn't really maledict. Maybe things would have evened out after I got my second legacy but I guess we won't ever know. Good fights and GLWYN!

None of that "good fight" stuff (which works from some chars, but I don't see a duerg rager saying it to a mage), more of a "Bah, ye got me! I'll gut you next time!" vibe, which was nice.

I never really had any interactions with this character, I am usually a shapeshifter player, but decided to try warriors and test out different legacy combinations. If you happen to try a offense/defense shifter again, try out defense major next time. The greater enlivens are a great boon to offense forms, not quite so much bite, but thicker skins and greater agility for the forms that actually dodge are great.

Keep on trucking Twist. You bring a great element to the world of Thera.

"Gnomes like it froggy style."

I liked Rathandio for the most part. On the bright side, I think one of the few easy sources of barrier available to me might be in more now that you're gone.

You were definitely more aggressive than me, but hey, that's the difference between tiger and what I got.

Please, please don't roll another Woldrun until I'm gone. Kthxbai.

Wow, you jumped me in silverwood just after I'd bound the servitors and gave me a scare.

Wanted to see how things went for later reference after I fled away the firs ttie, and then when I went back for more I was getting nervous at the end when you kept pouncing me and I didn't have the mana to word because of just binding.

Scared the crap out of me today too when we were trying to get Greachem.

GLWYN, hopefully I am on the same side

First hero shifter. First offense shifter. First defense shifter.
First ever Scion. First mage since neosleeks and attunement edges.
Great forms (after I spun the wheel).
Great powers (even figured a bit out that I thought I knew - fighting Scions will be different for me now).
Great allies.
Great enemies.
Interesting (to me) role that I could not, for the life of me, actually ROLEPLAY beyond role entries and notes to Tinsalaop.
Pretty damn good set of eq.

I thought maybe it'd be fun for me to sit at level 42 when I got tiger, and I did for a while, but eating level 33 elf paladins got stale pretty quick.

To anyone I disappointed with any of my actions, sorry. I tried to play this guy different than other chars of mine, just to see how that went.

Tinsalaop, thanks for the induct. I had to wait a while, but not nearly as long as others, and I wasn't in any rush, just tried to let everything come to me. Seemed to work well, I didn't get any heartburn when we kept missing each other.

Basically, my desire to play this char waned. Not sure why, but I suspect it's the lack of ability (a failing on my part) to RP effectively. The past few days I found myself logging in, going to try to kill some guy, failing or succeeding, getting a wand, and by that time wanting to quit and do something else.

Better to let someone else have a spot in Scion, IMO.

I'm not going to do specific goodbyes because I don't really think Rathandio had much impact on the game. If you have any comments (or log requests), fire away. Otherwise, thanks everyone.

I thought you were a very fun, and challenging opponent. Once you got
Komodo it just made it nearly impossible to kill you.
On the other hand, you had a very good knack of showing up at the absolutely worst times for me and cleaning house when i was exhausted, preps fallen, and hadnt pulled back and retreated far enough.
Thanks for not killing me that one afk time.

I came from another mud where paladins couldnt recall in combat. Has taken awhile to burn that memory out of my mind. My favourite moment of you; Hidden room; slowed and sleeping, preps falling. You show up, pounce me and my first instinct (one exit room)
I spam flee. Five times. I then proceeed to flee five times. Pounced every time, lagged everytime, and goodbye ardryll.

Thanks for everything twist, it was fun coming up with new plans to try and kill you.

You waxed me pretty good the first time when you were all raiding the Tree and I thought I'd catch you out of form. Damned tiger pursuit.

That last one in the swamp though, that one was pretty fun. I thought it had to have been ironic for you when the tables had turned on the flee/pursuit game.

We had some great fights. Sometimes people got involved where it wasn't necessary, but it sure made for some interesting deaths and opportunities. Scion is a rough place to raid if the scion there knows what they are doing and they are a mage. You sure knew what you were doing. Taking that scepter made for some fun fights later in the ruins. Anyway...you are throwing away some great forms...good luck with your next Twisty.

beat you later!

Had fun getting swiped and bit.
Good luck with your next! (and your currents!


P.S.
Thanks for softening up the Fort for me today.

Twist eh? Never would have thought it, but hey, I never usually put too much thought on who is behind the character.

I appreciate the notes and the research. I hope you liked my approach to induction. Kind of brings a twist (no pun intended) to it to give people a creative outlet and also give them a chance to do something interesting. I thought your notes were awesome and i hope to compile yours and many others' "stuff" into something for Chasm/Lyceum. You were very effective as a member of Scion as well, and I also appreciate that.

Beyond that, now that little visit at the end makes even more sense. Good luck with next. Don't worry, for me, eating level 51 elf paladins I will never get sick of it. Although I could never really eat Dup. Man that damn bastard was a bastard.

Can't believe you beat me that time in the desert! I really screwed it up. I hope I didn't come across as whiny, honestly I was trying to advice you to keep the headwear you had as I honestly feel that it is better for you. (Ofc I wanted to keep my own as well... heh)

Didn't interact with you much though, and mostly felt as if you were one of several Scion shifters around that I lumped up together. Which fits your own feelings about your RP.

GLWYN

I had no issues with the way you played Rath. I never backed down from fighting you, though you were prepped 95% of the time, so I knew I'd have little chance of killing you.

Catching me in Trothon, faerie fired, poisoned, weakened, slowed, softened and at half health sucked. I did appreciate your words after that situation. Even though I know it is part of the game and as a Scion you should do what you did, it still was nice to hear something.

I still am amazed at how well your tiger did against me. After a few of our fights, I'd look back over it and contimplate what I should have done differently.

Good luck with your next.

neither side winning....see you in the fields.
