I was down to 6 con and had never truly been happy with the Whirlwind legacy. I sucked it up for a while because I knew Empire really needed the boost but I really, really disliked my legacy choices. Ooglarr could have been 10x tougher if I wouldn't have tried to recreate Urgraj and had instead created Ooglarr. Ooglarr was the exact same build as Urgraj, just arial instead of felar, and in Empire instead of Nexus. I regret either not tailoring Ooglarr's legacies to Ooglarr, or choosing felar as Ooglarr's race, because the dual wielded claws, the pimp felar only gear, and the extra HP are really the difference makers in those builds.
I liked basically everyone I interacted with. Ooglarr was never intended to be an Imperial, he was intended to be an uncaballed evil mercenary who was all in it for the gold. I was going to try to start an IC merc group who could be hired out, or at least be a merc who could be hired out. Like Nexus, but going to whoever paid the best. Ultimately though that failed pretty early on. I had both Outtie and Empire gunning for me really hard in the late 20s/early 30s with notes from both cabals basically saying they'd reward whoever killed me. So I talked to Qintaris and got a pretty sweet gig. Qintaris paid me a pretty nice sum of gold to get my donations started and then I started rolling. On to the goodbyes:
Niji- I really liked you 95% of the time. But fucking A if your shadowy, meddley, schemey RP didn't get bothersome sometimes. I just wanted to PK and whip ass in the name of the Empire damnit!
Qintaris- I really, really wanted to like you. I can tell you're an excellently roleplayed character. But I did not like how many constraints you put on me. It seemed like every time you logged in it was another character or cabal that Ooglarr couldn't fuck with. Don't touch nexus, don't touch heralds, don't touch this trib. I'm just glad I managed to kill Corlx for that sexy 50,000 gold payout before you forbid me from killing Heralds (I cheated it a little bit because Mak is a fucking tool.) It was equally annoying that you have a COUNCIL (an advisory, deliberative, or legislative body of people formally constituted and meeting regularly.) who you absolutely do not let advise you. I very ICly, very respectfully raised two issues with you, both of them were immediately shot down with "Its my command." That's a legitimate strategy to play Emperor I guess, but when you're already hardly around it would have been nice for you to receive input from people who had their finger on the pulse of the cabal a bit better.
LOVED Jarlduz and Nizrili. Loved you all so hard. Can't even put into words how much love I have for you two. Badass blades through and through. Both of you are just standout and amazing.
Loved Lysufany and Maligor as well, just wish I saw Lysufany some more. It was great running with you all.
Mak- Grow up man. Spamming someone because they dusted you is annoying. Your whole character concept is IMO super annoying. I'm glad you got busted by the Imms that one time mid-spam of me. You're one of those Heralds that makes me really hate the cabal and there was a time when I really liked Herald (I've had a number of Heralds).
Herald - I really disliked you all. I hate the camp in the Inn, camp in the broken lyceum rooms where we won't get kicked out mentality. Killing you all was super satisfying. Play the game, don't hide in a broken room inside the Lyceum spamming EQ.
I'm not even going to mention Fort because the absolutely absurdly synched up logins just disgusts me. It's absolutely disgusting. Glad I stripped Caldysias of his super suit, glad I punked Baelen multiple times. Either one of you solo was just a speedbump, but you all have a pretty good, if predictable, tandem plan set up. Keara/Andira's synched up morning login makeout sessions were equally disconcerting. I'm super bummed the one time I got the drop on Keara I didn't seal the deal.
Loved/Hated Amatrysti. You're a great healer and it's really frustrating how high you bring up Fort's game.
I had mixed feelings about Nexus. Grilbo was fucking awesome, Guargoux and Alanrias were pretty cool. Turmi, you're one of those gear-hordey super conservative warriors I dislike. It's a legitimate way to play CF, but I'm glad I nailed you. I didn't strip you, regardless of what you told your cabal. I did take a shit-ton of your gear, but I also left you with all of my gear (which wasn't shitty, it just wasn't a warrior super suit.)
Battle- Someone needs to bring you all out of the doldrums. I don't think any of the current hero ragers can or will, but someone has to.
Oloice- I really liked you, you were excellent to run with. Sorry you got assassinated last night.
Yarazuthra- You landed two sweet kills on me in the wilds with some sexy snare + timing action. Good job and I hope you get a bit more aggressive because you're fun to play against.
I've never been good at good byes, and if I forgot you just reply and so will I.
