> Scarabaeus and Cyradia should really put in the BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWHOHOOHOHOHOHOOO. Winner: Dumbest statement ever said about Scarab roleplay. Don't blame her if you just don't get it. > Point being: the cabal is meant for loners. Either this, or Cyradia just wanted me to make enemies with every cabal I possibly could. I somehow doubt that. Ingvar had lots of contacts in other cabals. But he was no one's "ally". > The poem illustrates this and my -character's- hatred for a Goddess who forces her followers to make allies with no one. See "help scarab" and "help cyradia" for why entangling alliances might be bad roleplay for a Scarab. "Ally" implies that you can be depended on to go out of your way to do things to make them happy. > I was allied to Masters and she forces me to attack a master mage, therefore making me a target to masters. It's really a joke. Maybe if she took the time guiding/ushering her followers the outcome would have been different, but she really showed me a dark side of her character and the cult that I do not enjoy. That's unfortunate. But surely you knew that the Cult of the Scarab -had- a dark side, right? If you are a Cultist, and you ever are in a situation where you depend on others for your strength and well-being, you see to do some serious introspection. It's fine and dandy to have groupmates (I heroed a character with a 700xp penalty... that takes groupmates), so long as things are being done in a way that serves you. "Ally" implies a closer relationship, and you are citing an alliance to an organization here. > So yes, this is my personal revenge against the immortal that claims she knows the motives of this character. Immortals can -only- assume they do, hell even when it's written in a role they can assume they understand the dynamics of it. She might also decide that as an evil goddess of Strength and Destruction, she can whoop your bad-poetry-spouting ass if your actions do not reflect those worthy of her faith. You sound as bad as the swarms of jilted Anathema that come here and complain that Empire wasn't warm and fuzzy like Dawn. How do you think she got titles like "Executioner of the Blind" and the like? Best cookies at the Temple's bake sale? By the way, taking your "revenge" OOC.... might mean you need to take a step back. Or could you not think of a way to pull it off IC? Cyradia, the character, is an evil Demon Goddess. Wear a fucking helmet.
