I'm gone.
I did not plan to delete but Battle cabal was purged
so I found myself out of the Village.
It is hard decision, but I don't see another way.
I was playing 240 hours (started this charcter at the end of winter)
and about 130 of them I was an applicant to the village.
Heh, a cloud applicant about 25+ rank is the worst nightmare :)
Especially when every necro could kill you with one spell
c crimson, flee, c invis. and you are done :)
I don't have much time to play CF, and I don't have
dozen characters here, Leradok was my only character
last year in CF. My previous character was Rooqweaz.
So I am somehow a "newbie" and don't know many things
(and don't have time to try every class as well)
Why battle? Hrm... because it is the Cabal,
it is not bunch of separate sects nor camouflaged gang team :)
Masters is a good cabal too, but I like the challenge.
Battle: Grulhurk, Lakagai, Coaric, Lesivious, older ones
Minalcar, Leit, Ioanis, Muskul, Ruuki, Aserkelan, were fighting together.
Aserkelan, damn eq hungry bastard :), I still remember when
you and Minalcar were forcing the rest of cabal to kill
arbiter warrrior who just looted you. And the rest of cabal
was "ignoring" you :), gang is not good at all.
I was inducted by Rezkirat. Hmm I agree, the cabal
was not in the best shape, but it was not very bad
as everybody whined. The person, who destroyed the village
was Minalcar :), in IC and OOC sense.
You wasn't ordinary person Minalcar, you had your good and bad sides.
Mainly I dislike induction policy of Minalcar.
The bodypart quest is utter shit since first age.
First of all it gives advantage to 15 rank warrior over 30 rank warrior
and let's say a svirf/assassin over a warrior.
Based on this quest, you would induct Arolin over Bliscass
and I don't think it is the way to go. I would rather prefer to
see dedicated newbie in cabal, over 3th-4th character of
skilled low-rank pkiller.
After all, the battle cabal just before purge it was the cabal
CONSTRUCTED by Minalcar and Rezkirat (Dhaevor/Takashimi inductions
almost gone)
Masters: Badasses :) fought many of you. I don't give names, you know who you are
just look over logs.
Arbiters: Hmm. I dislike the idea of battle being in war with arbiters.
Even more I dislike when I see ragers who fight arbiters mainly instead of masters
But you enforced this war. If you join master/empire in raids, expect
to be raided as well. So at the end of my life it was the war.
Empire: Heh, still remember that day: 18 imperials on, and some cute imm
said, raid all cabals or be anathema :)
But after the blade/divine/battle treaty you disappeared.
So, later, I had only a few blades, stalking me.
Sylvan: our interactions were mainly:
Someone tells you 'Do you have the head?', hehe.
I did not see you.
Other cabals, don't know you.
After all, I am not satisfied with this character and his end... :)
Leradok/Rooqweaz.
PS. I put dozen logs (some of them were posted before)
and no, I don't have a log trigger :)
I just have long scroll buffer in my xterm - 20k lines
so I could copy/paste anything I want.
