Xylth

[Iyorvin]

Xylth Telloren

You can deny him.

Reasons I am done:

1. First and foremost is the immortal slay I took, which did not stop at a slay but a full corpse ate. Meanwhile I KNOW FOR A FACT Myria didn't take the same punishment on her slay, although I'm sure it's ONE of MANY that player has received. I also don't feel I broke ANY rules and I will go into more depth regarding that on my final point.

2. Second was the fact Vikatimees got Leader of Tribunal. This almost had me quit flat out. I spoke with Anume regarding this player and was told he couldn't speak English well. So now we have a Leader who can't communicate properly in an RP enforced ENGLISH SPEAKING MUD. Now, I'm not for being a dick about these things, and I DESPERATELY tried to work around it. I used small sentences, and marked words I knew he understood. I looked at words he used and typed them into a word pad. When I had enough information I tried to ENGAGE hm in the plots that were now engulfing Xylth, a mere TRUSTED member of the Tribunal cabal. I even went so far as WRITING A LETTER FOR VIKATIMEES so he could simply forward it. I was flat out IGNORED. Any and every time I attempted to RP with this character, using language HE USED and I knew HE UNDERSTOOD, I was just ignored. The only time I got any interaction at all was during the times he needed help getting items. In no way shape or form was this player Leadership worthy. Period.

3. The playerbase has become some hate filled groups of friends. And you can tell in game. I watched one player multi one player without any sort of RP interactions, then on the other hand became friends with a bounty hunter who refused to go for her bounty. It all makes you wonder. Furthermore, the RP interactions I received for the most part were very narrow minded, limited, or simply not there at all. I was literally scoffed at, spit on, told to go have sex with myself, I was a fag, I was a female dog, I was a piece of trash, a piece of dung, the list goes ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. Blatent OOC'ing and raging from multiple players who then end up being titled and eldered, or rewarded with owner onlies, etc. Now of course I'm going to be told that if I don't report it what do I expect. That's true, it really is. And as terribly ****ty as it may feel we all need to make sure we are reporting things. When one incident happens chances are there are a lot more. I know for a fact many players don't like reporting anything. Some because they have their own dirty laundry, otherse because they think the immortals hate them, and still others who simply don't enjoy the feeling they get when writing that crap on the prayer forum, so they deal with it themselves vial multi slaying and looting. Truthfully, that's not the way to go. Let the immortals guide the players to a better path. Our goals should not be to wreck another players gaming experience just because they OOC raged, ganged us, or were upset and felt mistreated in their own eyes, so they reacted towards your character with rule breaking. Our goal as players should be to increase each others enjoyment in the game with great RP and PK interactions, otherwise why play? I mean if you want to be the biggest and best pker........you're playing the wrong MUD. We have a very small playerbase, and you are proving very little.

4. The Playerbase Attitude is a joke. That's all I can say. Every single person I captured or killed almost LOST THEIR MARBLES when a single item was missing. Usually that spiralled into the above mentioned curse words. Let me tell you something about how to get rewarded in this game, ADAPTATION AND EFFORT. Adapt yoru RP to the environment of the MUD, the plots that are going on, get involved so the IMMORTALS can use you. If I can say one great thing about these Immortals currently, especially Anume and Morlhach, is if you WANT to get involved, and you PUT IN THE EFFORT, the rewards will follow. I have no idea how many hours of notes I wrote with Xylth, but it was a pile. I formatted them all, spell checked them, reread them, stamped em with the sigil, and did my best. For the majority of the early life of Xylth I logged on asking myself what I could do to make other players enjoy their time more in this game. Do I make sure he gets that bag back? Do I let on my evil plot to some lowbie because I thinkI'm too powerful to fall? Who can I get involved in this? Etc. Sadly, by the end of it I was so upset with so many different variables that I lost this mentality. I began playing just for me and that's when it got boring. That and Arthyn dying.

5. The dream psi's lack of ability to compete against elite pk'ers is horrendous. The 200 gold counter to their entire pk arsenal is a joke, and not something I could continue with. There are FAR FAR FAR FAR too many counters to this class already, even WITHOUT having a readily,light weight, easily obtained, held in multitudes, object that owns them. For the most part, the majority of my PK's had to be well planned, VERY well executed, or preying on people who were not prepared with the above mentioned items, were ill equiped, and even then, I had to be DECKED with 500 ac and proper consumables to compete. I very highly do not recommend this class to ANYONE, at all. The frustration of it all is overwhelming.

Now, to go further onto my first point. The slay. I was slain for two incidents. The first should be a warning, the second a slay, the third a deny. Those are the rules, simple enough. I want to know why Myria is still allowed to play? That's another conversation though, and IMM policy prevents that discussion openly. However, this is MY punishment, so I'll bare the incidents and let the players judge.

Incident 1

Tertius informed me he was fighting Uhnui. I arrive in the Alpline, type where, see only Tertius. I walk in, and I was attacked. I fled/returned slept him. I looked at his affects and noticed a 0 hour strnagle timer, but he was full life with no other MALS. I did NOT notice the rage timer. I began spelling him up. At this point I hear Wymer bash into Uhnui and see that Uhnui ends up being slain by Wymer. In my mind, a full life Tertius with no negative affects should be fair game. I was mistaken, the player complained to the Immortals, and the situation was not even brought to my attention for an extimated 2 weeks. That being last night.

Incident 2

I log on Xylth. Now previous to this log on, Minakum knows I am hunting both Myria and Kamila. Minakum notices I am on and tells me the location of Kamila, as I had asked of him previously. I set my alias for hypnosis on Kamila and I was one area away, and moved in with the sleep. Looked at Kamila, full life. No Mals. At this point I should of noticed the CORPSE of Minakum and the fact he was no longer pk flagged and asked what occured. I was drunk, did NOT notice the corpse, and continued. My argument for this is simple. There is NOTHING to state Kamila is the one who killed Minakum, besides of course ASKING EVERY SINGLE PERSON BEFORE YOU FIGHT IF THEY ARE ENGAGED IN WHICH THEY CAN SIMPLY REPLY YES TO AVOID ANY FEAR OF FIGHTING YOU. Given I'm playing a class that is countered by a 200 gold poison and without getting the jump on some one I"m pretty much forced to run, this was a great surprise and great catch.

I was accused of tagging on this incident, not gang banging, the immortals saw it as a second offense and slew and corpse ate me.

Incidents aside, has anyone here actually played an ARENA based MUD before? One with rules and structure and rewards? That's what this MUD has evolved into. A semi-RP arena mud where everyone expects an 'are you prepared to battle' conversation prior to engagement. Everyone expects to not be looted, and goes OOC if they are. Let me tell you something right now. If you silently engage in pk with me, with zero RP, and my EVIL badass character owns you, I'll probably full you. Or attempt it. Or let soemone else do it. If you RP with me prior to engagement and we evolve into enemies like Xylth and Arthryn, I would be DAMNED if I let anyone have your things. Ask Arthryn, I returned items to him over giving equipment to my own cabal members. There was a reason he was respected. A reason he was rewarded. A reason he got TWO con quets. A reason his RP DEMANDS rewards. His involement in the game events DEMAND imm interactions. His refusal to quit. His refusal to log off. And his refusal to not fight enemies that counter him massively, is why he will be HoF Arthryn and you'll be another Trusted rage delete.

Now that all the negative is out of the way.

Arthryn-"Complete". That's the word for you. You will be the complete package one day, if you continue. Your PK adapted very well to every situation, your execution will need some work, but one day you'll be there. Your RP is incredible, your interactions amazing, your consistancy with your character wonderful, and most importantly you make it a pure enjoyment to log on. Wonderful person, player, and characters. Thank you.

Anume - Heart and Soul. You have been incredible. You get involved, you do the work, you make the changes for the RP to evolve, and you rewarded me for my hard work. I could not ask for any more, and it's that type of reward system that SHOULD have players wanting to get involved in global rp plots. I'd like to hear from the players why no one joined in. Why did the Knights just quit? Why did the Knights let Arthryn go it alone? I dont' understand. WHere were the other cabals? Watcher should of been actively plotting something while that war was going on? Hard work will get rewards guys, but you need to put the effort into writing well formatted notes, not every idea will fly but if it can fit in I know the IMMS want to include as many as possible.

Morlhach - I'm extremely excited you got IMM'ed. Your professionalism is wonderfuly fresh, and your attitude in dealing with me is refreshing. I hate those punishment situations. I had almost 400 hours into this character, a PILE of hard work, and I went out of my WAY a PLETHORA of times to avoid being a d-bag. Only to take a slay and corpse eat anyway. I'm sick of that crap and it drives me nuts. I remember catching Drind afk in front of Knight castle. An easy slay, had him boned, even if he came back. I fled, slept him, and left him and RP say. Not even a thank you or a shout out. There are multiple situations like that, a bard healing me and me telling him to stop it because I'm engaged in player killing. I do NOT agree with the decison, and knowing Myria didn't take a corpse eat, as I was ONLINE during her slay, really made me felt like I was being singled out.

Hepheus - Our thoughts on the running of Tribunal do not coincide. I'm glad you gave me the chance at E, but when I told you about the poisoning and you were already ready to boot me for that alone, I knew I had no future in Tribunal. It's your cabal to run, and that's not what this is about, but lets try to remember this is a three align empire now and not justice. There is plenty of RP potential for back stabs and tyrants, and dictators, and genocide, and the works. I was even plotting to demote Vikatimees and remove Beria and then have complete control over the induction of new members. Unfortuantely when I thought this through I realized that eventually Hepheus IC will get Xylth booted and exiled. I found an RP OUT and took it.

Myria - Your RP is all over the map. At the start I enjoyed some of it, I vouched for you in discussions regarding your actions, but by the end there was just far too much evidence of fowl play and inconsistant RP with your interactions with certain people. The fact is at the end of the day you're a gnome, not a drow.

Groklin - Despite all the OOC nonsense, the comitted attitude you had towards fighting for your cabal, and not giving up, was impressive. It was very much like Arthryn, but you just need to learn to keep your head on.

Uhnui - Tough life, that of a ninja. Hopefully the lag system is changed soon so rogues can have a fair shot at life. I was so excited getting you slept the one time I forgot to do two things and you got away haha. You slapped me around a few times, and I'm sorry if your play time wasn't allowing you enough interaction time with Arthryn and I, but it sure would of spiced some things up.

Ryvin - I hope the plot goes the way you want it to. It's a very hard undertaking with the little information I got from our conversation. You'd certainly need very good RP and PK to pull it off and I wish you all the luck to that. I think its about time that plot go played through.

Zoichan - Hope everything goes the way you want. I also hope you pry into the stuff we discussed, there is much cooler things in this game than being caballed haha.

Dimbrek - Sorry man, I'm just very comitted to my RP. Some one else ate that brain btw. There is no way I ate it.

Beria - I wished you fought me a bit more, but you need notes and such to do so. Or some RP with immortals, let them know you wanted to come in with your own personal guards or something, challenge me, etc. You did fine though, you argued with me, you stuck up for the Knights and tried to participate. So good for you.

If I am forgetting some people, apologies.

I have one more project that I am comitted to, and RP that is already off the ground, so I won't be giving up on it, unless of course it goes south due to even more things I don't agree with. LoL.

Got some good moments with you, eventhough I TOO have somewhat limited vocabulary. That's why it took little courage to contact Xylth and I was glad twice with different chars when I got perfect feedback back, eventhough I was not able to keep up perfectly.

Sad to see you go :\

[Atticus]

Yeah, I loved xylth that last kill on brayden just sent me reeling. Sorry for being an add, but u didn't see the point in taking all my eq for it was almost pure hit roll. Groklin always lived getting torn down by him, rp was immaculate. I just have anger issues I need to work on.

[Mali]

I enjoyed your character. I only wish that you could have gone out with dignity and style instead of being so negative about our shared hobby and community. Good luck on your next! I know you have a lot of positive input even though it doesn't reflect in your post. As Mya would say, perhaps you should have a cold glass of milk and come back to think about what you want to say. Take care

[The Professor]

had a lot of chats with Xylth and enjoyed the tidbits he divulged. Of course, I got first look at his scrolls and did some "behind the scenes" plotting of my own. Wish you all the best with your current and future projects.

[Enethier]

My biggest misgiving for trashing one of my lowbies was that you had come to RP with him, and I didn't want to waste that effort. Sorry to see you go.

[Mali]

Lol... DOOD!

[Iyorvin]

Just tying up loose ends, don't worry.

I for one have great respect for Vikatimees. He is consistent, never breaks RP, and does his job in tribunal quite well.

Unlike Xylth, Vikatimees has lost it all a few times only to come back strong and bring justice to the lands.

His rp style is different than some of ours. He is quiet, but he is an ogre after all. He has my full confidence and in my opinion, as well as that of the staff, deserves his leadership position.

Honestly, I think the role of the end of a characters life and a thread like this to be ideal with a score sheet, some thoughts, and some recognition of the life and rp of the character.

Please consider how your post reflects on the game to a new player. You have consistently had a negative attitude on the forums, which I personally think is destructive and does not add to the environment we are trying to create and sustain.

I have great respect for you and believe you have a lot to add through your ideas and your voice. You are very intelligent and outspoken, which are exemplary characteristics. But, your post here amounts to trolling, and you are better than that. Good luck on your next!

[Atticus]

Hey, would you like a kreyis? Niiiice one.

[Anume]

Xylth was a very well played solid character, I enjoyed his rp greatly as he was one of the people who involved himself most in the plots.

That being said, I think you should have kept some of your remarks in your post on the prayer forum.

sticky of the day award

[J.Twendrist]

Xylth was awesome! He largely made Arthryn what he was with everything that was going on. I loved the ig chess game we were playing with the war, and the plots that were going on. Major props on everything, and I definately look forward to seeing your next.

[Dale]

Had many great fights with you when you were a Tribunal across two different characters. You were scary, but as long as I was 100% ready and not tired as **** we had some really good nail biters. Your rp was great and I really hope you come back with something strong that you can enjoy a bit more.

The whole I'm evil so I'm against the world plot has never been my favorite but you did it and managed to do it with enough style that it almost made you look like the only one who was right.

Love that he's gone, but then again... hate it.

[Spark215]

A bit late on this; forgive me I've only just gotten the Internet back. Our relationship while I was Invqda was great fun - though we didn't have too many conversations as she loathed the Tribunal Empire, we had some fun fights. Like the time you tried to lock me in the cavern north of maelbrim, remember? did you ever figure out if that dreadful skill getting turned by spell turning was a bug or not? Props - look forward to seeing you IG with my next.

[Hepheus]

You'd be surprised what you would've been able to get away with In regards to the plans you mentioned above if you hadn't taken the path that you did, which you knew would get you removed as you told me yourself.

I enjoyed this character a lot would have liked to see the entire thought process played out.
