Damn. For a character who prided himself on a
prodigious vocabularly, I'm certainly having
trouble figuring out what to write.
Anyway. Quintius, despite my consistent confusion
born from the similarity between your name and
that of a certain former Emperor, you're the
finest cabal leader I've ever had the pleasure
to work with - reminiscent of the stories I've
heard of Fortcouer. I seriously believe that
if you told the Arbiters that you were leading
them down to Dis to slay Zorszaul, the good Arbs
would ask you where to meet and the evil ones
would start arguing over who gets the armor. :P
It's unfortunate that all of our interactions
me bitching and you trying to cheer me up. To
reiterate: playing an Arbiter is fun. Playing
an evil mage these days sucks. While I don't
want to get stuck in a rut, my second-to-next
character is going to be another Arbiter, likely
a lightwalking, warrior or shaman type - and
you can look to my previous char, Dyrlyln, as
an example of how long my current character is
likely to last.
Darlow was born when I decided to figure out how
an evil person would act in order to have that
23 charisma. Fairly obviously, he wouldn't
be a frothing, filthy, blasphemy-spewing, mass-
murdering bastard hated by all. I figured he
would act like a politician - suave, dignified,
a master of flattery, extremely arrogant,
unfailingly polite and absolutely Machievellian.
(Note: do not apply this description to the
above compliments.) I think I did pretty well
at creating that impression, or something similar,
anyway, though I'm hardly the most unbiased judge.
I think I didn't do too badly at Arbitration,
but I PKed like Woru after a few reefers and
half a dozen whiskey sours.
Now for the classic cabal rundowns:
Arbiters: I love you all. :) Bria, thanks for
putting up with my amateur histrionics. I
wonder if I rated a gecho? Quintius, see above.
Darvin, you're cool. Kydan, Alrcs, Ulrikis,
Elmorel, everyone whose names I can't remember
just now... ditto.
Ragers: Imbrogno said it best. I hate you OOC
and IC. I had a Rager wannabe lurking about,
but I think I'm just going to let him autodelete.
I think Challen started the Rager boom by
revealing he was leader, and if I'm right,
Challen, I owe you a few whacks with a herring.
Masters: Um.. Xolthul, I liked your magic.
Dawn: *shrug*
Entropy: *shrug*
Troupe: *shrug*
Scarab: Nazturgle, whatever happened to you?
Sylvan: c vent 'a luminous archon' 'I have come
from the heavens to reveal the truth to you:
Arbiters are the puppets of the Empire!'
*snicker* Unless you were Entropy. Either
way, you know who you are.
Empire: Nearly my only groupmates, but none
of you really stick in my mind. Except for
Sierothe, and that guy who pissed on me. Eew.
And to everyone I grouped with, thanks.
If you've read down this far, you're probably
thinking: 'My God, why is this idiot wasting
so much time on the farewells of a 30th ranked
character?' Like I said, he's my most successful
so far, and deserves more of a public sendoff
in my vain little mind than the couple of notes
which were all I could do and stay in character.
Later. :P
