c 'knight' damnit...no echo must not have worked c 'knight' whois Bob Bob the Knight Hero, Knight of Thera, Knight of Thera insert 'oh shit' noise here...as before much longer they became Bob the Knight Hero, Moronic Knight of Thera But aside from that my mortal interaction was very pleasant. Then I immort'd, and ho and belold! My interaction was still quite good...I dsagreed with him on some of the hammer-blunt style of dealing with people, but in retrospect..I'd have to say perhaps it was a very good thing. When we started splitting cabal duties and Shok became known as more of the Knight-god...me being a bit more lax lead to some less that stellar remberances of Knights. Perhaps I could've learned a bit from him. I've always attributed most of Cador's assholic reputation on the fact that since he was blunt, and not out to spare your feelings if you fucked up...he let you have it. No one responds well to that. Also, as Nep pointed out, anytime someone yelled or restrung a knight title as Someone (for you older folk) or An Immortal...Cador was blamed. If I could go back, you might be amazed how many times one of those degrading titles came from me...*shrug* Assumptions are dangerous playthings. "so what...
For those of you who don't remember Shok as a mortal, I was leader of the Knights and marked by Cador (would've been his avatar but well...with the knight duty, and because me being good would've further confused people into thinking honor=good...yada yada yada). As a mortal I had wonderful interactions with Cador, granted I thought he was a bit harsh on some Knights for minor screw ups:
As a person, since I got to know him at least moderately well...I have to say that he is very much a man of integrity, and that the concept of honor is something that spread from player to characters...not the other way around.
Was he harshly blunt? Yes. Did he share his opinion whether you wanted it or not? Probably. Was he good for CF? You have no idea how good he was for CF. To be honest...if I ever get around to making the cabal that people have asked me about in the past (no I haven't decided, or given too much serious thought to it)...I'll warn you straight up, it's going to be run with a bit more of the Cador-esque bluntness than was last seen when I was running Knights.
nobody's taken..nobody's taken
your place..so, so what?"
