Well sad to see you go.

There were a few moments when I thought I had backed you into a corner with the "no cun trus magis no mur" argument and it seemed you just fell back on rhetoric. If only I could have dragged you off somewhere without the rabble around to taunt you. *kicks herself*
Silly elf! Thror gave me a boot in the pants for that too. I was just desperately trying to not lose you to the village. But I think as a player you had made up your mind.

Anyway I though Valkore was a great character, wish you had stuck him out.

I never interacted with you beyond the two warrior's contests we were in, but I'll echo my thoughts with a small log:

Arehanah yells 'You bastard!'



Good luck on the next. I'm surprised you didn't win (first place) either contest being that thug you were

Valkore says 'if anehtin in yuh lif beh impotant, besid yuh qest beh kilin meh an aleh dem maji, dun dis beh ona deh mos impotant?'

If anything in your life is important, such as killing me or magi, wouldn't proving yourself as a warrior to Lord Thror and the dwarven Sappers be one of the most important?

Valkore says 'der beh to vilajeh beh comin dis weh. Meh caneh beh fitin bot of dem at deh momen'

There are two villagers coming this way, but I'm a ghost, so I can't exactly fight both right now.

Valkore says 'meh tak meh lef fuh now, an getin tings peparin meh fuh deh war'

I'm leaving to prepare to fight the ragers.

Really did love this character. He was actually one of my favorites to watch in the more recent days where my interest in the mud has begun to wane. Yourself and Noldruk, as well as cameo's with Arvam have rekindled, slightly, what I call fun about this game...

Valkore could have taken his role any direction he chose. He had so many tragic flaws that any direction would have been a good thing, since his whole life seemed to lack this. What made this difficult to foster, from an immortal standpoint, was your role.

Simply put, it was horrible. The whole thing was OOC and really had no substance. I think immteraction would have been ten times better had this role been somewhat legible.

Loved the speech pattern, although it was very difficult to understand at times, I really enjoy characters who come up with a new form of dialect.

The quests I ran which involved you and others, were extremely fun. I didn't realize I could have so much fun with them. Thanks for that aspect of the game.

My biggest gripe. Investing so much time in you only to have you delete. That really was a bummer. There was no IC way for Thror to justify your rescuing a jaguar as a villager, in turn killing another villager. You toppled yourself with that one.

Good luck in the future. Better roles and bigger goals my friend.

I don't know what really happened at the guardian, but I
felt bad about doing that to you on as a person. My intent
with Rustanviel was to leave you out of the first two raids,
then bring you on the Nexan raid and say... "Hmmm, maybe this guy
isn't so bad, he helped on that raid." Then you rescued the jaguar
and killed me. I don't know if it was an accident or not, but a long
time ago, with a character named Grakurmanu (Who I did lots of dumb things with) I tried to look at another villager in Galadon, but hit
"k" instead of "l". At the time, I had an alias to turn "k" into "murder". It was an all-time good luck that the game crashed
and I blamed the event on a dopple. I don't know if you had some old
alias still set perhaps or what, but I hope you rescued him on
purpose for some reason.
Anyway, good luck with your next.
Rustanviel, The Bard of the Village

Well, Hrm... this is a real shame. I tried to do what I could for you at the end, and I was always proud of myself for being one of the only people that could understand you. It was fun near the end.. Kinda wish I had met you earlier.

Sorry to see you go Valkore. I felt we interacted well together the time we were within the Rift and our interactions after such. I could understand you just fine and your roleplay seemed to beckon others to get involved. Would have been intresting if you were still about as I advanced and the dynamic between us. I saw nothing but effort from you in the Rift and it troubled me to see you on the outside and the shift to the village. I hope I get a chnace to interact with your next char. Till then be well and I'll be seeing you in the fields.

Sorry things turned out for you the way they did. Whoever made that Demosthenes comment was spot on -- you were pretty hard to understand sometimes. Anyway, good luck with the next. And for future reference, cabal switching almost never "ends well".

Spill it "Someone" Lets hear names of at least 2 of the three. The one that was in 3 cabals would be best, and which cabals.

I hereby officially call your bluff.

Sylvan for 500 years, Herald for the last 100 years. It was well worth the change, I lost respect for the mortal run cabal system a long ago.

I think this shows baddly on you as a player, jumping from one warring cabal to the one they warred with. Thats really horseshit.

He went from Sylvan to Herald. There's plenty of viable RP routes for that to take, and I don't remember Herald ever "warring" with anyone.

...the Inn's great battle against the Phoenix! Shokai was not happy when we had a contest to find the most Elven body parts. Hehehe, also what about the damn Orcs running muck now a days.

Oh and there was the time Thror fell though the roof, but was that really a battle?

I was there and I was totally against that because lightwalkers where not invited. Simply because the other evil/neutral heralds wouldn't have done anything if we got killed by essentially the Empire.

Boo to that time. Yeah to Shokai.

hrm if this is what i am thinking of i had my "first" char an elven ranger, hadn't even know muds existed before. these people kept handing me pieces of myself or steaks of me after killing me and laughing about how i should take that to the inn or some such. and i thought "what sick people.. " i had no clue what they meant but maybe this was it? or was this more than a year to a year and a half ago? wow don't even remember how long i have played. well at least i don't answer what time is it with "It is 5 o'clock PM, Day of Deception, 9th of the Month of the Dark Shades.".. yet.

#9641, "switching cabals"
In response to Reply #5


          

switching to herald or dawn shouldn't count. They're good "change of heart" cabals, because they don't directly influence anyone. therefore easier to get into, if you get tired of a cabal. I had a rager that turned into a Dawnie *chuckle*. What would be impressive is nexus to rager or the reverse. I've seen scion to maran before, it was a thief a long time ago.

I played a bard that was a spy in scion and then when I was found out joined battle. I think it turned out ok.
