Let me begin by giving a round of applause to everyone I have interacted with. This includes my enemies and my allies. Minalcar was my first attempt at a sword spec and I must say that giants with sword, (perfected), are horribly strong when it comes to being part of Battle. Most of you would say I seemed overpowered or that I was just a bloodthirsting/flurrying BattleRager taking advantage of his powers. I'll argue that to this character's grave. Most of the time I thought out every situation before I went into it. I tried my best to use tact and believe I did fairly well. Minalcar started out as a character to shit around with. I wanted to explore with him and see how many things I could learn with this character. He was inducted by Takashimi and managed to lead the village near the 400th hour of his life. I went to hell not once, but about ten to twelve times. Many of the trips with Altrael just to explore. The episode with the large party of BattleRagers that reached the ninth circle did not leave me upset or hurt. I did however, get approached by Asmodeus. I had been doing fairly well, rarely dying and killing alot so I took this chance as one to expand my role. Not only was I stripped of my perfected sword specs and whip specs, but I was turned evil and marked as a betrayer. I had many an interaction from that point and those people I ignored I usually did because I had about ten other people trying to speak to me. I continued to develope my role and was approached by Asmodeus to be rid of Avendella. During this time Battle lost a few older members and began struggling. There were few competant people around to lead so I figured I would take leadership and 'serve my Arch-Duke' by leading the village with an evil hand. I thought Dhaevor did this well but as an evil Warlord my goal was to spread the influence with wicked ways. War with Dawn and Arbiters was one way of doing this. The other was making allies with the Empire. My role will state a few things I knew would occur.
Minalcar wanted to see this happen. He knew Maclochlan wanted the same and a few other village elders wanted to see how some form of treaty would be with the Empire. Hell, they have allied with Masters for some time now. If that could be done I am sure it could be done with a village of barbarians. In truth, I used the Empire to my own ends. Lying and decieving about kicking villagers from the village but watching as Simka anathemized anyone I claimed to breach the pact. Aradan and Simka were in essence my 'bitches' and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Things became even more dull as we had no Imperials to fight. Hifflio provided me with little challenge and the Tower did not seem to be doing much expanding.
Near the end my absolute goal was to cripple the village. I allowed demon-possesion to take place so as to better lead up to the climax of my life. I grew very angry with a few instances where the village would be empty when I logged on, but within a span of thirty minutes about ten ragers would log on. I am still not used to that and it really, really angers me. So taking the advice of the forum critics, I left that to the hands of the immortals. I did feel that they relied too much on leadership so the ultimate betrayal would be to take away that leadership and to ally with the Tower. Informing Asmodeus of this, the log below shows what transpired. The path was simple. If I continued to be bored I would take this route. I have been bored and with a few critical events going on in my life I felt now was the time to delete Minalcar. I had thought of stepping down and fighting when I could but that would be an excuse to keep mudding constantly. So, with this said and done, I hope you enjoyed my interactions with you. I have enjoyed those that I have had with the immortals and with you characters. I hope my farewell list that follows touches everyone who took part in my interactions.
