That's your opinion, but you don't know the first thing about me.

There is no such thing as an innocent rager for Imbrogno. Your leader takes the book, most of the other high-level ragers take the book, therefore you're guilty by association. If I can kill you, and kill you some more, and a little bit more, and maybe a few times with guards for that nice exp hole when you're wanted, you'll delete and that's one less I have to worry about defending against my retrieval. You can thank Minalcar every time you die.

I've died to 5 or 6 pk-deaths. Four of those were at the massive giant, 3 of those were during retrieval attempts, the other was when I was after a criminal. Why do I die at the massive? Because I can't word, and I can't retreat in a chosen direction like you can. Not being able to word through prayer while in the village is up for debate, I'm not going to get into it. So, if I can kill you outside the village(Old Thalos) before I go after the criminal that's bonus.

Duel to the death is a rager's fight. No fleeing means you thirst and I can't use my two most powerful supplications because I have to use them to start combat. I'm not a moron, giving up the right to use rot/wither would make me one though.

That's right, after the criminal, but I had to go through you first. You wouldn't stand aside like I asked. I gave you two options. Come out of the village and die honorably, or stand aside while I went after the criminal. You chose the ungiven third option, die dishonorably at your massive giant.

And I was poorly equipped from dying to Malaglen the night prior so your stuff was put to good use. My guards on the other hand were dead, so I had to leave to rest up and call new ones.

Question my bravery all you want. Arbiters(including the imms) know that I don't shy away from battles. I've fought Minalcar more times than I can count(I could post a log of 4 hours(real-time) of fighting him, I've fought Arlian. Both of those stand a better chance of killing me than Ioanis. There was a crash, which interrupted a discussion I was having with two soon-to-be applicants, I logged on after the crash to tie up those loose ends and once that was done I quit for real-life reasons. But, I don't need to defend my player integrity against you.

Again that's your opinion. You can just assume that I hate you for what you are, because of Minalcar. I, as a player, hate ragers, Minalcar just gives me an IC reason to hunt you like the dogs that you are. The "innocent" are always the most hurt by foolish leadership decisions. Count yourself amongst them.

If you want to rank-sit at 40th that's fine. But you surrender your right to bitch about higher characters laying your ass to rest. You should be thankful that there aren't more spectres.
As an aside, I don't need to have a reason to kill you. Arbiters don't take a vow of pacifism upon entrance. We're free to hunt just like any other.
