I disagreed with a few arguments you made to support yourself...so here's a partial rebuttal.
> 1) Look at the name of the Mud CARRION fields.
*bonk* lame point...don't make me explain why
> 3) The two classes that lent themselves to drastic changes the easiest, just happened to be two evil only classes, A-P and Necro.
This point kept resurfacing in your arguments...but I don't think it's true. There have been several classes revamped lately. Assassins, thieves, and warriors have all been worked on (and I think most people would say for the better) and they're certainly not exclusivly evil. Rangers and druids have also been recently touched up...althought I wouldn't want to claim for the better here if better is defined as 'more ass kicking'. Conjurers were just put in and if anything people have argued that good conjurers are stronger then evil ones. Even if you want to call paladins underpowered by comparison right now, don't underestimate good shamans. Shamans are a very offensive and strong class.
> What we have in cf, is a situation(noone's fault really) where the Holy good champion is in effect highly improbable (I will not say impossible because look at what Ihlrath did. But that was before A-p's changed, and certainly before Istendil became gross).
HUH?!? Ok, I'm sure that all of those lists of examples of good and evil heros in literature were to support this. But I'm unclear as to how this argument went. Or in other words...you lost me sometime before you got to this point.
