I didn't accuse nepenthe of cheating, If I was going to do that, I'd do it to his face easy enough.
I was commenting on the fact that if they had been on at the same time, and Nepenthe was going to abuse imm knowledge - it'd pretty much make it an insta-win because of the wealth of abuse he could get out of it. Did he do this during his mortal life? Only he knows. Do I believe he did it? No. Not actively.
During Cabdru's life, Nepenthe did a lot of new things. Some might be motivated by various sorts of insider knowledge but other events showcased outside the box thinking that not a lot of CFers embrace. Like using crippling strike to nerf shifters dodge (which didn't work, but he tried it a few times :P ) or combining a no-disarm weapon with an unholy blessing (something I hadn't actually thought of, in light of irongrip). Things like this made him a mark above the rest.
But as Cointreau pointed out, no one can dispute his immsider knowledge played a key role. And if that's taken into account to the full and likely cynical conclusion many follow, Ravon would be a smudge on his boot.
I'm still waiting for the day Ravon and Cabdru team up to gank Zorszaul and lose. That's going to be hilarity...
Zorszaul says 'Do you covet Cabdru? Many seem to covet Cabdru. Well, now I have Cabdru.'
Zorszaul holds up a fiery red phylactery and nods.
Zorszaul raises a fiery red phylactery in his skeletal hand, and invokes it's dark power!
Shadows seem to darken all around as Zorszaul grows to immense proportions.
Zorszaul taps his chin with a bony finger.
Zorszaul quickly stretches his belt for a glimpse down his leggings.
Zorszaul says 'He really was dragon sized.'
Letting his belt snap back, Zorszaul relinquishes his grip and glares about hungrily.
Zorszaul says 'Time to summon Cytherea...'
Zorszaul leaves.
