Dioxide will make millions because we, the few yet delirious players of CF will have said what many have sought these many years...what makes a truly immersive and liveable fantasy experience.

You see, there are those, and I won't mention names *coughArolincough* who seem to have no clue what is going on. There are those who thing the sole purpose of CF is to allow some to give birth to their mini-Charles Mansons, and do nothing but run around the realms and kill everthing that moves, breathes or says, "Hi, I'm a newbie, and-"(THWACK).

I see a few people rising above this, and realizing that CF, although a PK mud, is PRIMARILY a roleplay mud. (Yes, this is frustrated in the below posts, so forget your conspiracy theories). I see people realizing that in a true alternate reality, PK is indeed part of that reality, but so is breathing, eating, journeying, making friends, loving, dieing, helping to raise empires, demolish them, meet your final fate. I see myself walking among the realms for hours, and being amazed at the descriptions, details, exquisite realness in these different areas, and thinking, "Bah, this incredible attention to detail and logic-inducing making-you-think puzzles must be nothing more than a few bloodthirsty immortals trying to make CF nothing more than a pure PK hackem-slashem mud." Hmmmm I would have to think, despite a few idiots insistence, that what makes CF truly great is it's GREAT rp,with pk added to make the blood boil, as opposed to just a Doom game, or just a dry rp game where someone claims to be a great Elven mage without anything to back it up. I've played the pure RP muds with no PK, and it bored me to death. I played the pure pk muds with no RP, and again...boring very soon. What is CF? I don't know. But:
1. This rant has gone on for FAR too long.
2. With a RP page, I'm sure the combined minds of the player base could come up with a great selection of RP, Stories, Hints, Tidbits, Peas and carrots.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to snort glue and steal Monet paintings.
