"Faded away" is actually a very appropriate Draktha.
description of what happened to Draktha.
The reasons were a combination of a few
factors, such as declining free time, a slow
but growing dislike of interviewing, and--
the nail in the coffin--the fact that Draktha
was permanently screwed over about half way
through her unlife. I won't go into a lot
of detail, but suffice it to say that
characters from my site seem to have a recipe
for disaster when one of us and one of
Graatch's characters goes into the Basilica.
I did enjoy playing Draktha most of the time,
and the only thing that kept me from deleting
much much earlier was the desire to keep some
permanent Cult presence around...we never did
get a full trinity after the temple was built.
Goodbyes would be long and many...but most
are dead now anyhow. Scarabaeus was a huge
pain in the butt at times, but the Cult was
incredible because of his dedication, and it's
hard to sing his praises enough here. Other
Elders and Cultists, your quality and skill
was always impressive. Braerus takes the cake,
however. He put up with a lot of bullshit
from me, and--in my opinion--is the single best
example of roleplaying on the MUD. Our
interactions were always a pleasure. I'm
just sorry I wasn't able to be a stronger
presence towards the end.
Okay, that's all I think I'll be writing now.
Responses are welcome, since I don't get a
graveyard slot...but I always got the feeling
Draktha was not particularly liked...so perhaps
I'm going to regret asking for them (or I just
won't get any). Oh well.
I'll probably be back in time...but I'm on a
bit of a hiatus. Try not to miss me too much.
