Jheriohn: I dont agree with a bunch of your philosophies, but I thought you were a fun char, and you never went ooc, and you were a real bard, not just some sylvan pk warrior who had cool songs. Brakolin: I wish we had more time for our english lessons. *smirk* I would sometimes run out of patience with you, like when you would stand around in the frigid waste and let me get chilled to the bone four times, but it was fun, and you never gave up, never backed down. Saldarito: seems I saw you not at all while I was pre-hero, then almost exclusively you in my latter days. Like Brakolin, I got a little annoyed that you wanted to go somewhere, took the lead, and then didn't know the way, *coughunderdarkcough*, but you always had a smile and did good healing me in the ruins. Kamal, you are one serious dude. And I *totally* agreed with you in that conversation with asihara the other day, when we were looking for altrael in the dark woods and had that whole "death in the rotroot" place fiasco. You were the real shark of the glade, I saw nobody fight as well as you, and I had the equ from the time you killed gharik and deheilia until today, just now. I didn't get pk'd from like level 30 to level 51, and then not for quite a while. Not that I was a big killer either, mind you. Anyway, you were the quintessential gentle giant, kamal, and I respected that. Malaglen: i wish you would practice what you preach. I have alot of respect for you, and you are a good sylvan I think, generally, but first you say that it is actions, not words, and then you berate me for words without seeing my actions. After you told me about veinhard, i never grouped with him again, nor did I help him when he asked. Just because you are questioned, doesn't mean people dont believe you. It means there are questions about what to do about it once what you have said is past. Sadrach: thanks for inducting me, but I haven't seen you but once since then, so not much to say. Duerlin: where did you go? Had fun at first, but you disappeared. jeurno, culwhch, asihara, asicrom, sasha, zimriphel, etc, I didnt really know you and you didnt seem to want to spend time with the rest of us. *shrug* Don't know why, but so be it.

> > As for the char, obviously he was sphere water and tried to bring something a bit different to the cookie cutter sylvan. Not just the forests that are key and part of nature, but the waters, and seas. Water is life, that sort of thing, and needs protection. As a water major and air minor, i was pretty much unable to do anything at all on land. It got very, very, very boring for me. I'd sit in the emerald forest or the ashes (and even then couldn't stop defilers. I had this one little necro and he just laughed at the hasted enlarged guardians I was trying to protect) and watch. Then I'd go check all the seas, and watch. Then I'd sit at the erinin and wait for some masters. Then maybe try the imperial river. It gets very boring, and since being in form costs mana, I'd have to leave to rest safely and return, etc.

I have informed the battle imms. I'm waiting to hear what happens. (Via email)
