pre Retirement Kudos

Post by Ebonstar » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:04 pm

Hey everyone just a few things I want to put here. I just signed a new contract for work overseas and it will take my playtime to next to zero for what could be a year. My last day for the near future will be the end of this weekend before i fly Monday Morning.


I first came to Arelith when Udos still existed and seeing that I jumped in with a drow with enthusiasm. It was the first chance to actually play one without being a Drizzt clone as other servers did, with our wonderful living Underdark.

To all those friends from then and other times playing below Grunf, Nives, Durv, Appate, 250Dragon and many others the UD is always something special. Al'Truissa always lives somewhere. Lolth tu Malla

On the Surface Ghostwise to the book was and still is my passion. Odd wary, never wearing boots or city clothing, Hides and other jungly things were the norm. Kera Nutcracker, Meriam, Maya, Andy, Rigo, Megan, Gully, Shanna when she was brand new and beyond and Bendir pre updates inside and out.

Others who influenced how my characters evolved as they roamed and grew.
the Waynolt clan as a whole ( Duncan, Shanna, Alrius, Leon, Tahira, Catherine, Geralt, AIka)
Giogi and Cam
MIranda
Clemency
Berenor, Sean and Nora
Gertrude Gawain and Barbara Thunderfoot
the entire Cordor old guard (Mather, Conlan, Cei, Naomi, Leon)
the new Cordor Guard in Gawains Image ( Sunveil, Yenos, Teriana, Anavia, Lucia, Falco, Nix, Duster)
Azrael his old Hoaran whoop Snuggybear partner
Anden Smith
Astra
Storm
Jadoth in his own odd way
Angela for her zapper sticks
Wotan beleive it or not damn grumpy gnome
the evil twisted yet didnt see it Lobellia and Peregrine
Milanaith and Elatha Nostalfay

lest we not forget the other two villians Bersk and Flint

truly too many to recall and name them all for over 13 years here in this wonderful sandbox

to Mithreas, Irongron, Spyre, Grumpy, and all the devs and DMs I drove crazy

I see the server growing with many new faces on console and i have no doubt when i have time again, Arelith will still be living and breathing under the care of everyone above and many more

Kudos all around and dont stop the stories.

From Rha Nel, Phaeyr, Syclla Al'Truissa, Azon Sane, Bok (chikens go vrok vrok), Bull ( ber ber ber), Shadow, and Savol Corthala, with too many other minors to recll over the years.

Safe Steps, and godspeed everyone
Chris

Savol has been interesting to RP with on Elias. The differing views make for a fun conflict!

Congrats on the new contract dude, I hope all goes well for you.
Sad to see such a long time player dip out but that's how things go sometimes.
Just so you know though, I still tell that story about the time Shadow accidentally 1 shot a low level character with a longbow crit when he just intended on giving him a warning shot during an argument, right beside Anden who was in the guard at the time :lol: still laugh about it today when I think about it and everyones reaction!!
Have a good one man :D

Having interacted with you on several of these characters I can say you also made a huge impact in one way or another on many of mine and myself. You've been ooc supportive and a shoulder when needed. Thank you so much for the past and hopefully it will extend into the future.

We'll leave the light on for you

But... But... What about the mud pies :(

You will be dearly missed, my friend. You were great fun to play with and your characters felt very alive. Best of luck in your new contract and hope you find a whole new adventure ahead of you.

Alas, Quistillia will find herself another nemsisis. I hope work treats you kindly, and we'll see you in a year.

Temporarily back to Arelith and currently Lilliana Snowfire.

If you have unfinished business with Ultrianan, let me know! Arabella has been rolled.

Congratulations Chris!
Savol was first disliked by Falco but grew on him in the end. You will be missed! Well done. Enjoy the contract and stay safe.

Kudos to you as well, OP. I greatly enjoyed Savol's RP.

As someone that's been in and out of Cordor as a faction and institution in the game, usually on characters that try to play it on the level, it's refreshing to see someone take a willfully different approach to law, authority, and power in the Jewel of Arelith.

A lot of people can pull off corrupt character archetypes and make it work in a way that's a lot of fun for those around them (looking at you, Mr. Flint, you skeezy devil you), but often it's clear that they're clever, scheming, and probably not-to-be-trusted. Everyone loves being the smartest bad guy on the block. You took it to a whole new level with Savol, by marrying the self-serving motivations with a masterful facade of bungle and ineptitude. I appreciated never being able to quite distinguish in-game whether Savol's actions were malice or folly, but always enjoyed watching him use the law as a tool to pursue his own agenda and punish his personal enemies. It kept me guessing right to the very end; a malignant Jacques Clouseau, as it were.

Best of luck in your future endeavors. Law is clear.

The old Cordor guard was my first big step into Arelith, and you drove a lot of that and really helped me define Mather early on and push him to grow. It's been a long time since those days, but Mather will always consider Savol one of his good friends.

Thanks for all the RP and good luck in your new job.
