Condeath: Nixie, the Would-Be Pixie

[Nikodemus]

Hi!

And bye from Nixie. Essentially my first character (I had a couple stragglers in 1.0 and 2.0 that didn't last for terribly long, but did give me the benefit of having read the forums of that time), definitely my first pinnacle, and first caballed character (thank you!).

While Nixie's life consisted of huge quantities of humiliation in ways unimaginable, I grew extremely partial to the character, and humbly thank everyone who I interacted with for making the experience enjoyable.

As far as the roleplay went, Nixie's mind, hopefully to noone's surprise, was quite feeble -- that of a child. With the induction to Despair, and eventually to Nexus, the influence of the Rift and the demons began to tear his mind apart beyond repair, rendering him unable to tell fantasy and reality apart. This also made him extremely receptive to commands given by demons or those of Nexus. Eventually, with his failing body and mind, he also suffered from delusions, such as "the flies inside his eyeballs," etc.

Specific thanks go to:

Kyatha

Grusmil

Lorfaine

Rorrik

Dregor

Jinjiro

Zehava ;p

Ecasio

Issassthyss

Anume

Also the rest of Nexus through time, and most Warmasters, Korropant, etc. I'm a bit feverish, so I'm unavoidably forgetting someone. :-)

Hey,

Good character. I always had fun interacting with you, even if you were a lunatic. Well done on sticking with a character all the way to condeath, it's something I usually don't have the discipline to do, and I've regretted prematurely deleting a character more than once.

I noticed a big improvement from the start of your life to the end, and I'm sure your next character will be a good one.

-Dregor/Fist

[Anume]

Congrats on the condeath, as long as you learn from every pdeath a loss is not that bad. You were one of the few people who kept standing up after being destroyed and started reequipping happily, my respect for that.

Hope to see your next char doing even better.

Anume / Eshaine

[mya]

Loved you little bugger.

[Gradrel]

Congrats on the condeath.

[HouselessRogue]

Great character. Enjoyed interactions across a couple of characters. Good luck on the next.

[Twinblades713]

You sounded like a cool char. How did I not once see you? Not in person, or even on a who list... We must have opposite time zones or you hide... ALOT. Hehe, grats on the Condeath.

~Dzrilx

[Questioner]

I thoroughly enjoyed our long interactions and battles. Taught me a lot about never underestimating a thief's traps. I remember you got me once after I repeatedly whipped you.

[WagesofSin]

An awesome roleplayer. just awesome! Congrats and I hope you make another char.

[Deykari]

This was a triumph!

I'm making a note here:

"HUGE SUCCESS!!"

It's hard to overstate

my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:

We do what me must

because we can.

For the good of all of us.

Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying

over every mistake.

You just keep on trying

till you run out of cake.

And the science gets done.

And you make a neat gun

for the people who are

still alive.

I'm not even angry...

I'm being so sincere right now-

Even though you broke my heart,

and killed me.

And tore me to pieces.

And threw every piece into a fire.

As they burned it hurt because

I was so happy for you!

Now, these points of data

make a beautiful line.

And we're out of beta.

We're releasing on time!

So I'm glad I got burned-

Think of all the things we learned-

for the people who are

still alive.

Go ahead and leave me...

I think I'd prefer to stay inside...

Maybe you'll find someone else

to help you?

Maybe Black Mesa?

That was a joke! HAHA!! FAT CHANCE!!

Anyway this cake is great!

It's so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking

when there's science to do!

When I look out there,

it makes me glad I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.

There is research to be done.

On the people who are

still alive.

And believe me I am

still alive.

I'm doing science and I'm

still alive.

I feel fantastic and I'm

still alive.

While you're dying I'll be

still alive.

And when you're dead I will be

still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

I spend a good few hours of my life memorizing that song. I love it, and it's pertinent here! Rock on.

[Montahg]

huh?

[Deykari]

People who haven't played Portal make me want to be sick.

Dey

[Pali]

The lyrics Dey quoted are from the ending song in the game Portal. Best end song for a game EVER.

[Mudder]

Portal... Never heard of it. Computer game? Game console game? What kind. Maybe i'll check it out.

[L-A]

Good cleric spell?

L-A

[Evangelion]

It's not really a standalone game.

It came with the Orange Box, which had Half-Life 2 and something else. It's just a puzzle game.

[Mudder]

Just youtubed the

.. Seems pretty cool.

[tassinvegeta]

I remember Nixie quite well. I believe you played your first character the way a first character should be played. You kept giving it your all, hopefully for the sake of learning. I'm sure your next character will be that much better for it.

-Zehava

[Malchaeius]

Proper Respects on your condeath. I hope you have learned a lot from the experience and are prepared to do even better with your next.

[Deykari]

Sorry, I forgot to add (as I wasn't in any state to make sense last night) that I thought the song was fitting for Nixie's condeath. I always imagined Nixie to have a personality very similar to the Portal computer because of the way he spoke to me.

Great character, didn't get to talk as much as I'd have liked over a couple of characters - hard when someone is in the shadows a lot, but then again, that's what thieves do.

[HBwillie]

Wow, what a great character Nixie was. I enjoyed the interactions we had when I played Rorrik. Kudos on a job well done!
