Too much time invested in the character, not enough time on school = cranky.
Loved the role, loved the character concept, happy with revelation path. Pain path is meh - I should've chosen venom.
There were periods where the lag spike (for some reason) became extremely burdensome - strangely enough, 75% of the times was when I was in the midst of pking (IE last death). Combined with the fact that a) this was my first shaman, b) I can't afford to spend so much time mudding, c) incessant fortress hoard, and d) lots of idiotic/stupid deaths based on external factors, the character just lost its draw on me.
Sorry Reksah (if you read this) - I had high hopes, had fun with the interactions, but just couldn't do it.
And sorry chancellor - it was a lot of fun, had I played it out we would have fucked shit up, but see above.
Rest of Scions - good times, bad times, fun times.
Villagers - I gotta admit, if I was commander and I saw some of the shit you guys pulled off, I would've put you in the circle in first infraction then kicked you out under second infraction. I know getting pks are hard with the limited playerbase, but seriously?
Ciao for now. Back to reading up on small claims appeal :P
