So I've never posted before when I'm done with a Char. But I thought I may make an exception.

Tris was the character for me when I was playing some other LvL 50's before and thought, "I really need to roll something that can travel around solo some, and learn the lands and where item's and common rares are". So I've compiled like 180 maps of the lands. Found cabal locations, and shrines/blanketed rooms, Didn't really learn about all the quests I wanted to do. Any more mapping would have required full groups. And well I just wasn't that popular.

Also wanted to learn about Cabal life and warfare. Failed along the way in some parts... But, while I was cabaled I took the opportunity to learn the warfare/army system, and felt competent at it. Though I really didn't possess the (insert "it-ness" here) on the char to really flourish/compete/feel compelled by it. I learnt abit more after leaving. Though it most mostly was about running and hiding and avoiding, and annoying.

That being said I learned along the way the limits of my char very well and was frustrated and yet reliant on them. Frustrated by my rare count and knowledge of attainable worthy rares, as too the limits of AC and Hit/dam I could get...Let alone balancing saves. So I found in a fair fight I could compete and possibly come out the victor (if i also wasn't so lazy). Yet if there was any kind of disparity in ac in the favor of the aggressor, I was EATEN. But, that is due also the skill disparity in my opponents favor as well. I did learn to run, and hide though.

So I failed along the way and stumbled blind into some knowledge at the same time. At some point I thought I would also like to con-death a char. I just realized it wouldn't be this one.

There where some notables out there who helped teach me along the way. And i feel I got more help and time then Tris deserved considering he was a cowardly, despicable, hiding, incomprehensible mess.

Tribunal Cabal in many guises I would like to thank. I never broke your laws, or your own personal rules. And you guys helped me out, and were the only ones to ask me for anything, or my company.

Bah, this is why i don't post often... long winded, melodramatic and unnecessary...

I completely disagree that this post was melodramatic or unnecessary. Being a ridiculously bigoted and unreasonable avatar, I had fun fighting you with Kyril after my attempted comeback. You beat him down pretty good, honestly. Tris was fun to RP with, and you really weren't as bad as you think you are at pk. Just takes alot of refining. Good character and DO stick around. :) We need to keep players like you.

Well, what can I say, you were my characters best friend when this year began. I sensed at the time we were both trying something new, guess I was right. SO farewell from your "war corespondant". And thanks for letting me observe your hostile takeover in the clouds. Always enjoy your characters, always a fair blend of role and play. This one I really liked. Good luck with your next.

You won at the despicable, cowardly hide part. The attempt I made to RP with you I -honestly- couldn't understand half of what you said. But we both tried, and that counts a lot.

Especially when all you did was voodoo me, and I never once got to see you face to face. Just what a shaman should be -- annoying as HELL.

Make another. Don't go blue. Go red. Get those rares you know of now, and start PKing with a class you probably know front and back on. And keep Rpin'

Thanks for the feedback, Far more positive then I thought. I really did think Tris was disliked. Which I kinda enjoyed, but it made me very very lonely at 50.

I was also thinking back to some of the learning curves. Hmm, thinking I'm not a noob anymore and then falling very early on for the old "come and kill x with me for a sec" then get collected on. That actually sparked some great fun. Which led in the end to me bounting 3 lvl 50's to tie up/harrass the syndi, and then getting immediately killed by one of those i just bountied. Grand times and steep learning curves.

Having Oppresant show me some stuff and being very helpful. And me not picking up on one of the key points. And having to pester him to take me back again and imprint it on my brain. Always thankful.

Whildinough, was just being a champ generally...

Ohh and Meph for the grand times.

I've never begrudged any who took my life as Tris, though I am sorry for being so annoying to those that myself and the dolls played with while i was around.

Ohh and the country bumpkin. For without whoms help I could never have been all that i was...

p.s. I did the best with the rare count, and my knowledge of items to get a working set. Half way through the rare code was addressed and we all had to make do the best we could. Some of course could do this better then me.

You know, when I see a character talk the way Tris talked, I don't even bother reading it.

You can RP dwarf speech without it being so annoying for the reader. All the apostrophees only ruin your speech. Drop them if you have to...

What a negative comment.

If it annoys you then DAMN, **** happens and to be perfectly honest, not a single one of us care that his effort at RP annoyed you.

Hell when tassin comes in an bashlocks me with his dual max level malforms and charmy it annoys me but I dont act like a dickhead and say anything about it.

Some of the most fun RP I ever had was talking purposely so no one could understand it. Those who took the time to learn did, and it was awesome.

Eh... I was a cabalmate of Dumela's and once I got used to it a little and using the physical actions in his smotes to make inferences it really wasn't that hard. And you know... just looking at someone funny and saying "What?" is still RP... and it happens to be RP that practically demands a response from the other party. Nothing like RP that expresses your inability to understand without calling someone a dumbass AND gives the other person more room to reveal their character's mindset.

Tris, among other things, was also an outlet via dialog, to mimic a particular indigenous race. Now I wasn't really going to get into it, But i kinda want to explain, without being labeled as "racist". I mean we "live/game" in a world where Racial discrimination is rampant, and dictates to us almost every starting basic aspect of our char.

Anywho, Growing up in Far north Queenslan, Aus. And living in darwin for a piece. Ohh and being white.... It is impossible not to recognize and even become accustomed, and possibly as fluent as I perpose to be, in "degradated aboriginal slanged english and associated profanities". Having studied anthropology for many years, I understand it's wrong to poke fun at another racial groups differences. But i thought, ya know what...I'd really love to have a char talk like one, and be as good damned annoying, hostile, stupid sounding, and deflamotorilly degrading of the common tongue (language/english/human-speak).

Honestly. It was as fluent and easy for me to type, prepare, speak as Tris as any other char could be for me. In fact I eased back on the profanity, because I didn't believe...

"ey dem's puckin' elf cun' der, I wan dem smoke an' da sho off ya der, or dem's ol' girl gonna puck ya up. Dem Cous'n der gonna punch all ya scraw'ly den." ...would be acceptable.

But live north of Brisbane or in NT or WA, and this kind of dialect will become very common for you. And you know what, the majority of those non-indiginous members of these communities have a very similar attitude towards the culture, language and mind set of the indigenous community that Foxx had for Tris. Why I never commented and could relate, understand and empathize with his point.

Primarily, because this kind of outright racism and profanity isn't accepted in this community as a whole. And secondly because Tris just didn't have the balls to back it up.

Anyway, youa'll were commentin' and I wanted to throw in another two cents.
