I sit back and look at the mud, and I notice a few things
one of the most disturbing is a massive use of ooc information
Take for instance this day which was enough to break my back
I log on no Codex surprise surprise there are a few Citizens
on. Nastrael was the only other Hero, Magically it seems
everyone else in pk is in opposition to the Empire. Good and fine
except for the fact that when Genofen and all the crew
that seem to show up when he does, all this opposition seems
to disappear. I am deleting out of protest and see little reason
to place work into this character or the mud in general when
such things happen. The day I delete an Immortal basically
told me I could become the Sect Leader of blades, I dont see reason
to put any further work into things now tho.
Even now as I write this note I notice many younger villagers
showing up now that Saison is here. The ambitions and goals
I have with this character have all but been diminished and boy
did I have a big ambition a bit later down the track, something I will
keep to myself, because I see it as having little relevance.
The only person who I feel needs a mention is Grissztok
he was the only person who killed me one on one who I never managed
to return the same favour to, this man knows how to make
the best of what he has. The rest of my fights were commonly three
against me sometimes more when I died. Never died to groups of two
always Three or more, except for when I got slept as I write my
farewell note. :P
As a side point I have always found it curious that some songs
can be heard while sleeping when others cannot.
As for Battle I found all of you week incompetant fighters
the day I killed Saision Kaerk and Daerkshyn as all three
attacked me, Saision meet with the reply that I couldnt do
it without shroud and haste, so be it he is right three Ragers wouldnt
exactly be easy to kill without anothers aid. But most villagers
know that I killed them quite effectively by myself with preperation
I can provide for myself. Even now as I sit here writing this hordes
of villagers are logging on now that Saison has showed up. This makes
me sick and is covered in my last point.
Harandor you are a complete wimp, a storm giant paladin has little to
fear from a duergar warrior, but you flattly refused to fight me time
and time again. Never in my life have I seen someone quit so fast, as
the way you quit.
I remember reading once, "Why do certain people keep playing Masters/
Sylvans/Empire/etc its spoiling the fun of the mud." It is simple these
people I commend, they play one character at a time and are there through
thick and thin. They play in this respective Cabal because they enjoy it
the people that spoil the mud are those who see a shift in power, and yes
sometimes it takes one or two people to do this, upon this shift hordes
of people arive on the sceen, applications go up, one need only look how
many lowbie battle ragers there were when Thror announced well "Gang banging"
is okay in battle now. But I look at the village as it is now, and Abernyte
is the only Rager even worth a mention. In other lifes I fought him and
he stood as proud as Thror did, his words were the same but Abernyte stayed
strong by himself on most occasions, he didnt have a pack of cronies standing
behind him to back him up. I remember Thror saying he wanted to tear Raags
arms off for being a filthy Mage, I never once recall seing him attack Raag
unless he had backup.
With this I soon drive my fists of iron through the base of my nose, a swift
painless death one lacking in honor and strength I know, but as the Codex
has been lost most Citizens are leaving, soon it will be a lonely death one
not worth a mention.
To the Immortals I fully respect all you have done and continue to do, for
now I am going to take a break, the sun shines outside and the birds call
for me. I am sure with time I will return to the fine land you have created
I just hope my words have some effect on the population and they learn to
grow up.
