I was an elf paladin Knight, rank 47 when Knights were disbanded...tattooed by Nepenthe...reading you say that all of the knights were newbies kindof hurts...sure there were a few, but there were some that actually rp'ed.
I do not think I died all that much...but I refused to be bloodthirsty as well, so I didn't kill all that much.
I had been under the impression that I was actually doing a good job rping the role of the Honorable Paladin...and having had a few heroes prior, did not think of myself as such a newbie.
But, of course, this could just be me going "that wasn't me, I was the exception" when infact I was the rule...I really do not know.
What I would like is an honest impression of my char, from Nepenthe or any other imm/"elite" char who had interaction with Maubuisson...was I a newbie? how could I have acted different? what did I do wrong?
That being said...I am not sure I got Shokai's point exactly correct in his post.
What I got out of it was this.
"The elites of the day were to powerfull against the newbies of the day, to much carnage, so this was one of the main reasons they were disbanded"
Um...is not this kind of thing just a temporary thing? the whole pendulum thing that everyone touts as being all powerfull and important? Would the imms actually destroy a cabal based on the swings of this pendulum?
That is what I got out of Shokai's post...so I am not sure I read it correctly. Some clarification would be helpfull.
