> Minalcar inherited a strong village that went to shit soon after he did so. Perhaps that was by design or perhaps he should've never been made leader, but the fact remains that the village is far worse off now than it was even under Rezkirat.
>
yes agree
> First, a lot of battleragers didn't like Minalcar because of his assholeishness, against perhaps this was by design.
>
I never found him to be a problem. You did have to prove yourself to him I think before he gave you much notice.
> Second, Minalcar instated the "mage's body part" induction requirement which bogged down the induction process and slowed the growth of the village.
>
I hate that. I tried as a previous char to do that and had the body part crumble the tick before I gave it to the leader at the time. It is to hard to get that body part.
We are lacking serisouly with lower ranked ragers who at the moment are really the only ones with a chance for taking the head back.
> Third, Minalcar got the village involved in an unwinnable war. You don't beat the arbiters in a war because the arbiters can put you an exp hole as 4 or 5 ragers quickly found out last night. This war sped up the exodus process(Ayame-gone though she hasn't been a force in forever, Ioanis gone, Coaric gone, Iradrin gone though still alive, Hilsbred gone, Grulhurk gone, and countless others.

yeah. sucks. Which is why in game Mag dosent fight arbiters if he can help it. He also dosent fight paladins etc except when he has to.... after all thats not his fight.
> Fourth, Minalcar betrays the village, leaving them leaderless and on their own to fix the mess he got them in.
>
yup. But his rp was great and i think most of us ragers that shared in it thought it pretty cool. The pisser was that too many ragers dropped their chars and started playing their mages. I log on now and theres maybe one other rager, who isnt in my range.
Ive died about 7 times in the last few days (which is waaaay more than normal for me).
This is trying to get basic gear or attack the golem (which I havent yet been able to hit once). I have generally 6+ hero mages, 2 paladins and empire chasing me when I log on.
> The only thing Minalcar did that was to the benefit of the village was deleting. The village wasn't going to get a new leader until he was gone and now he's gone so he did them a favor.
>
yes definetly.
> I don't know who the battle imms are going to pick for a new leader since none of the 40+ ragers log on now that they're with opposition. Maybe they should purge again.
Yeah, it sucks. Ragers dont have to be weak, the players just have to get their shit together and log on.
