> Well, my time to depart has come. I lived a long and interesting life, though I
> wasn't even old at the end of it. I had much fun in the middle of Calessin's
> life, but right now I cannot support him well enough to stay in the role.
> Real life and CF don't like each other, and one fault can be fatal. Just
> remember this, and you will be fine.

> I tried to play a strong defender rather than a bloodthirsty killer. My
> relations with non-masters were based mainly on the usefulness of this person
> for the good of the Tower. I tried to propose a peace when I felt it would
> serve the Tower well, but I wasn't kind to those who tried to use the Tower as
> a tool for their goals. I tried to pay close attention to the interviews.
> Sometimes I was too harsh, but I never said "no" to the applicant, though it
> was hard sometimes. It is up to you to decide have I succeed or not. Alas,
> I cannot remember everybody I knew and interacted, but I'd like to mention the
> following persons:
>
> Masters: the Tower was my family. My role was to protect, teach and keep an eye
> on it. I really liked the Tower of the past, but I see certain conspiracy in
> what is becoming of it: elite cabal is turning into the clone of Arcane sect.
> Leaders: Diarmuid, thank you for inducting me, but a death due to the ganbang
> surely isn't a reason to delete. Your interviews were awful. Oroxazrian, you
> were doing very well, but you should have value your life much more. Kudzurian,
> you were an awful leader and quite unskilled master. I still wonder why you
> were chosen. Manshoon, I met you only twice, but the scrolls from you ensured
> me that you were an excellent leader. Keep up the good work!
> Masters: Kilgaren, you were my best and most reliable friend. Together we were
> almost unstoppable. A shame you refused to lead the Tower. Zomerseis, you were
> doing an excellent work. Just don't value your gear so much and you'll be fine :)
> Uli, my teacher, the oldest Master, take a time to reach your final rank.
> Aristelle, I enjoy to remember the time we spent together. Ismail, at first I
> despised you for your ignorance and lack of knowledge, but your grew up and
> learned. Well done. Nallokin, our exploration trips were very interesting.
> Balur, you were a great friend. I liked your roleplaying very much. Shannagen,
> you were good, though a bit too arrogant. Mithadris, it was fun to interact
> with you. Dyerwaen, you show much promise, I'd like to see you as a new Lord
> Adept. Omniera, you were doing great, shame you deleted so fast. Zandorix,
> you also were a good master.
>
> Entropy: Quitmir, you were excellent entropist. Jagaub, you were also nice to
> interact with. Zorszaul, you are admirable, impressive but too predictable and
> power-hungry to be named true entropist.
>
> Battle: my applauds to Talice, Kastellyn and Dhaevor. Cethern, Veshiko, Gelkof
> and Picapleitos also deserve to be named. The rest of you looked like a
> faceless mass to me - it was very hard to differ one rager from another.
>
> Sylvans: the whole cabal of worthless greedy power-hungry bastards who don't
> care about forest protection at all. Tiera and Sadrach were the nice exceptions,
> though. Kudos to both of them.
>
> Empire: strange and contradictive cabal. Quinthen and Trezar, you were good
> allies. I tried to avoid a cooperation with other imperials. Osdaron and
> Graitel, you were a powerful combo, regardless of which side you were on.
>
> Others: Yagar and Palan, you were strong allies. Without your help I couldn't
> have raised the Tower from ashes, when I was alone against 7-8 hero ragers each
> time I logged in. It was a real pleasure to see how they leave Thera after we
> kill a couple of them, and to see many Master applicants right after that.
> Svyatopolk, it was fun to travel with you. Marroquin, you were greedy but funny.
>
> Please feel free to express your opinions about Calessin, either in personal
> messages (see e-mail above), or here on forum. I'll be very pleased to read it.
> I will probably return to extensive playing later, but I need to have a break
> now. See you in fields.
>
> Boris.
