I do recall a few people being chewed out, while Neria was in her mid-range ranks, because they would spend time in her company.
By that same token, over 'years' of character life, many sylvans decided to Think For Themselves and not spout the party line,
and would often spend time talking and even venturing with her. I know this doesn't sit well with a couple die-hard no-thinkers
out there (Hello, Segyll!), but frankly, i dont give a damn. They can vent and curse, and praise all the glories of Sebeok as
they see fit, it does not change the facts of history. I was treated quite well by the Sylvans, and there were a fair number
among the Battleragers that refused to harm me, even though the Destructor himself ordered them to do so. Scarabs followers
seemed to laugh at me most of the time, but also never harmed Neria.
Why, you ask, could someone become so favored?
Easy. Good roleplaying. And I'm a damn charismatic bastard, too. :p
But Nibs.. You're not charismatic. You're still an asshole, and people hate you. They dont need to fall back on roleplaying,
because you give them so many excuses to whack your ass. Hell, you gave ME one with my current character, and I'm all for the
repentant drow angle.
You may have turned on your people, but you have shown no sign of turning from thier way of life, the actions. Were I sylvan,
I'd pop you on principle.
But I'm an asshole, too.
