;P

this is what I dont like.

as stated in the poem, I went to some other muds earlier. None of them compare even close to cf. Thats why I stay here, even with the things I dont like, because I love all the areas, I love the themes, and I love alot of the characters and the way their people play them. And if this were my mud I would not have that. Make it a little less fun for the imm staff, have a lesser imm staff, not have alot of the nice areas they do now. I.E. hell, tower of tronthon, shit. sometimes I still walk through balator with brief off just walking through every room. Yeah, some are the same. but nicely detailed to read.
> So what? Call it facism if you want, but the Immortals are undeniably creative, and here you in their world.
dont know what facism is, and too lazy right now to look it up. and I know, another reason why I stay at cf ;P
Be shrewd, make friends with those that 'know', play the political game ...
ahh.. no.
with laerik, an empirial. he never made friends. he allied himself alot with simka because he used simka as a tool alot. and the fact before he was war master he was always on. I only ever have one char at a time anymore, and it looked like the same with him too, so in an ooc sense i had a little more respect for him. ah well.
or heaven forbid contribute to areas and coding after you Immort yourself.
I would actually like that, but the thing with that is I like to play my chars to the end of their lives. Laerik.. too true I didnt, but I was pissed at being assassinated all the time, and the all of a sudden I am forced in a direction to an aggressive mob thing ticked me off more than once.
But whatever you do, don't be dull, be sharp. Don't be obvious, be secretive, be mysterious, be cunning ... don't spoonfeed.
in game I am. I dont give any information out to anyone, except to the people with a need to know and have the ability to pay the price. depending on align, race, etc etc of my char to theirs. religion, rp ability, etc.
and yes, I do judge people by whether they r-p or just pk.
