[ 14] SYNDICATE Korthian: A False Rumor

To: Cartel
It has been brought to my attention by more than one Cartelian that I
supposedly ordered the death of the slith thief Agaththka. I don't know who
started this rumor, but it is entirely untrue. While Agaththka may be a
member of Militia and tried to kill me, I always take care of my own
business.
If you know how this rumor got started, notify me.

P.S. Yes, I killed Agaththka.

To: Messalantha
I have been working on formalizing the Merchant sub-cabal of Syndicate.
Although these plans are still in their early stages, I would like to share
with you what I have so far. The bad news is: there is nothing spectacular.
The good news is: nothing spectacular means we could begin this early stage
of this plan very soon. Maybe... now?
Merchant Ranks:
Inductee - Lackey
Member - Courier
Veteran - Employee
Trusted - Manager
Elder - Tycoon
Merchant Abilities: [edited - these paragraphs gave away Syndicate abilities information and Merchant abilities information that we might actually want to use in the future]
What do you think?

[ 16] SYNDICATE Korthian: A True Story

I feel the need to relate this story to all Cartelians, to set the facts
straight. I recently slew (again) and completely disrobed Agaththka. Why?
Because he decided to jump me just after Jenaosae began to fight me. I
managed to get away (with both of them in pursuit), at which point the thief
(Agaththka is a thief, NOT a warrior) decided to threaten me. "You need not
die, just give me my stuff back" was the essence of it.
Well, I was not about to take lip from this fellow. But before I started my
search, lo and behold he found me! So, to make a long story short, I had
to kill him.
I tell you this because I do not want a bad reputation for Merchant. Know
that Agaththka was the aggressor and my actions were to a) save my own
life and 
prevent him from striking at me again. I assure you all that
Merchant is a purely defensive sub-cabal.

Korthian-Player's note: "I wish I had more notes saved; nostalgia is good in small amounts. I stopped playing Korthian because I got tired of playing him. And I mean physically tired. Everytime I logged in, I had to first open two Word documents (one to check up on old transactions, one for current transactions), two Notepad documents (I sent out a receipt for every sale; I wrote my notes in paragraph-format in Notepad before copying and pasting), and of course a mud client (I'm used to Gmud). Add a Trib or two chasing me around. Add watching out for coup attempts. Finally, add multiple simultaneous conversations:
'Have you sold my Mara'deth Kier yet?'
'Can you locate a Banner of Illisidar for me?'
'What happened to KBS?' (this one was a killer; I was screaming in my head READ THE DAMN NOTES!!!!! but Korthian HAD to act all nice and stuff)
'Run while you can, little halfling. I will find you, arrest you, and have you executed soon enough."
'How's it going?'
It was still fun, but exhausting. Sometimes, playing Korthian actually felt like going to work.
Once again, thanks for the fun times. I have another project right now. See you on the inside."
