> About time. By far my most successful character (out of three), I had a blast. I learned so much, so many areas, how to play and not play certain race/class combos, and how to regear quickly. That last one I had to do a lot :P Anyway, here's a few shoutouts to my friends and the like.

> Oh, and for the story of me being removed from battle:
> During Minalcars possession scene at the Inn, I grouped the entire dawn/troupe people there. We wanted to help in any way possible, and set out to do that. I sort of knowingly grouped the conjie Iracundur, cause I thought him useful and respected him. Heh, an Immortal made me force bash him, which startled me. Iradrins partial role was a hatred for drow. He would do anything in his power to kill them, always running blindly ahead to attack them. That hurt in the long run. He did this because he was imprisoned/indentured to a drow house in his early years. To escape, a druid sacrificed himself for Iradrins freedom. Thus, Iradrin owed it to himself and the druid to repay the action. It was a bit more complicated, but I did what I saw necessary to help my leader. Minalcar killed me in the circle the next time we met, and I was booted. Was fun roleplaying though, a good breather from the monotonous learning/raiding/retrieving of battle.

> Imms: Ishmael, thanks for the tattoo and for your time. You're my most favorite Imm to date. I really wish I could have taken more time to learn your religion. I know a lot about it now, but we never had a chance to speak towards the end. Bolthrower, you are incredible. I appreciate the time you spent on a hapless battle newbie. Sorry to fail in the end, but I really wanted to roleplay when the chance arose. It did, but I was so unprepared (obviously). Thror, whatever happened to the 'future of the village'? I still remember when Lakagai, Galorim, and myself retrieved a couple times, and you told us we would probably get a chance for some type of special weapon for our dedication. Whether you forgot or whatever, I was really disappointed. I did my very best at all times, one of the few to play against horrid odds and to retrieve the head whenever possible, but to no avail. And I did email you a while back, so please answer when the opportunity arises?

> Battle: My first battle character, I learned a lot. Mostly through dying, but I rarely made the same mistake. Except to those pesky necros. I hated them. Warrior defenders really suck. The defenders powers are really lacking, but in the right hands can be quite formidable. Minalcar, I was so disappointed with how you went out. Leaving everyone high and dry sucked, but, well, the blow shouldn’t have affected the village as much as it did. Thanks for your patience with me and for showing me cool places and stuff. Arlian, you were real cool, as was Ioanis and Lauderan. You guys were about the only ones I took an interest in. All of the others just seemed to trite and basic, that I didn’t really feel like knowing them IC.

> Masters: Hifflio, you were incredibly good. I really wish I would have killed you in Aridhol, but it just didn’t happen :P Well done. Xeren, same for you. Others notables…Merisila, Rendak (ouch), Jafel, and Vhoram. Thanks for the fights and the interactions.
>
> Sylvan: Loashia, Flontinot, Dural, Sal…your beliefs and mine paralleled closely. Enjoyed all of you, especially Loashia. Flontinot, you were just hilarious to be around.
>
> Arbiters: Quintius, you were the only one I respected. Gratz on what you've sort of accomplished.
>
> Entropy: Ran around with Jeurno a few times. You were good for a laugh :P Zorszaul, I loved fighting you, except for that bitch Iuz waiting for my loot. Hope you don’t get bored and delete.
>
> Empire: Wow, you guys almost all suck. Aradan, you impressed me greatly, as did Akivasha. Nice to see someone RP and then fight. Fosterian, you were a mere pesk. Simka, I hoped you would fare better, but, oh well. The perma group of Erauj/Nakulukla/Austa…that was absolutely pathetic. Nak, you didn’t bother me as much, but the others were ass holes. And for every other imperial…you guys are horrible. Is it too much to fight an uncaballed warrior by yourself, or with even just two? And while naked? Pathetic.

> Dawn/Troupe: You guys were my best friends the whole time. I could always count on you for a bit of help or learning and such. Solian, Chaldaie, Nicolette, Cartherlen, you guys were incredible. Thanks for everything. Astillian/Draedell/Proserpina, you two were a blast to be with. Iracundur, there was no way I could comply with your task. However, I respected you a lot for trying and for helping. Well done all, thanks for the memories.
