> Let us look at my CF history shall we? Hopefully this will make you feel better. > First character, didnt know anything, was a felar ranger. Wanted to join Sylvan. Upon character creation I accidentally made him lawful, didnt notice until I was rank 20. (Btw. I would die 5 times a day regularly on a good day.) > Second character, a little more knowledgable, made a bard and was going to try to join the Knights. Tried to talk with Christina for about 2-3 weeks(something always came up whether it be another applicant, she had to leave, or I did.). In the end, Knights get disbanded. > Third character, I know mostly how to rp(used to play on mucks all the time) so I figured I would try to play an empowerment class. Cloud Giant Druid, 106 hours into it with a page long(notebook paper that is) desc and my imm dies. > Fourth character, I am at least mostly familiar with Thera, Arcane transmuter of protection that wants to join Sylvan. Just after Jezral and Lantharen(sp?) die. Almost no sylvans around. Rank up with someone who speaks out against two sylvans(learn this later). Even with all that I still pass the Lieutenant's interview in about 5 minutes. I am told the only way to join is to talk with Sebeok because there is no current captain. Unfortunately the day Sebeok finds me and tells me to come and speak with him, I was home sick with the flu and it was after 2am where I live. Safe to say I did not make it into Sylvan. > Not much has happened since, but I think you get the idea. > SB, hoping that this has in some odd way made you feel a little bit better. >
> > Basically I have died five times in an hour to several different assassins who can form no logical reason for constantly attacking me, again and again. Driven by stubborness, I refused to get or believe they would keep killing me pointlessly. And this last time? I fled into a creature who killed me, making a hole. And I was only 200 to next rank. The absolute madness the absolute worst luck.
