> Does it bother anyone that Nepenthe liched golmagus No, I didn't. If I had, so what? > and scarabaeus liched Istendil Supposedly, he picked the hardest items he could come up with for Istendil's lichquest because he thought I'd go through the kinds of stuff he was sending other people out after too easily. That's anti-charity if anything. But people who know the game well will go through the lich quest without problems. Witness Hvitlok (easily one of the top ten best, in my opinion) going through his in just a few days. You're welcome to produce a character of yours you feel was roleplayed as well. There definitely have been characters on CF who surpassed Istendil in that respect. I just don't think you played one of them. > Istendil helped golmagus get his items. Yes, Istendil helped Golmagus with the fighting necessary to get one item, which was in an area he (Istendil) needed to go to anyway to retrieve his chosen weapon. I really liked Golmagus. Almost all of the necromancers playing in that time had all the personality of a turnip. He was interesting, and that's ultimately why Istendil liked him, not anything I might or might not have later found out about who played him. If you're really that bothered by all of this... leave, and start your own mud, and do it your way. It's a free country.
It sounds like the only thing that would really make you happy would be if none of the immortals played mortal characters, or barring that, if none of them were ever any good at the game. My urge to play mortals comes and goes (sometimes for 6+ months at a time) but I'll gladly delete the immortal or just leave entirely a long time before I give it up for good. You play CF because it's fun (if it's not, why the hell are you still here?) Ultimately that's why I'm here, too.
