Where does Vaakuur come from, you ask? He comes from a small place
beyond the borders of what you know as Serin. This place is far north, in
an unfathomably vast mountainrange that continues to the end of the world.
Only the mightiest have scaled its peaks, and among them are a sect of monks
that have built a series of temples that are dedicated to Diocletian, the
God of War. Their initiates train with tireless devotion until their skills
are perfected and can begin the trial to full brotherhood, which involves
wandering from temple to temple to challenge other acolytes who have also
begun their pilgrimages. Unfortunately, during Vaakuur's trial, he became
lost and ventured south, unknowingly wandering further and further away from
his destination to eventually end up on a mountain inhabited by Dwarves.
Despite wanting to return home, Vaakuur decided to stay and learn more about
this place called 'Grimforge' and it's surrounding lands, to become a master
of combat and seek out its greatest fighters and complete his challenge so
that he may one day return to his monastery.
Description:
Tawny skin stretches over his entire, well-muscled frame. Stiff, pointed ears rise a few inches above him, signifying his heritage. He sports a clean-shaven head with a stoic, emerald gaze and jagged scars cover his torso (some of them look quite fresh) in random places, widely ranging in size. A closer look at his face reveals a tiny swirling pattern etched into his neck, just beneath the jawline. Veins pop out along his arms and legs as he stands poised for combat.
I had a giant wall of text...But I just deleted it. I'm done with this game. I put too much time and effort into something that's so easily taken away by assholes with superiority complexes.
Lorne booted me out of Warlords. He refused to fight me in an open space so I could run around and heal out his massive damage output. He said that he only wanted to fight me in the arena so he could rage. He was talkin shit about me not knowing how to fight as a monk. Every fucking thing I did with him didn't work because he ONLY wanted to fight me in the Arena. I got him to fight me in Unsiliel, like, twice. That's because I cleared out the space so he could rage and we could fight without him running into mobs and getting stuck on them. He's such a fucking coward. I can't exactly stop to heal when it takes over 3 seconds for the healing to commence and we're in the arena...where it only takes 2 seconds to get anywhere...
I don't see any notes from this character in my list.
note search from vaakuur
No matches found for that.
Looks like you didn't even try to gain control of the cabal or contest the mort leader's actions in any way, you just flipped out and deleted. If that's what happened, then it's good riddance to a trash character.
The problem here is that any action by Lorne is an 'in character' interaction. So like Nyct says, send notes to Warlord as a whole, calling him out. Challenge him for leadership in an open area. Any Warlord declining a duel sounds like a deathmark to me, regardless.
Sorry, I need to amend my statement. He didn't flip out and delete, he flipped out and repeatedly suicided to mobs to try to make his graveyard entry say "condeath" instead of "rage delete". Great roleplay bro
I dueled Lorne once and he lived with 1% hp. He did refuse to fight in any location other than the arena or gnome village. So we fought in gnome village I was able to heal once and accupuncture. After that duel he responded to a tell once for a rematch saying he didn't have time every time after that he just straight up ignored me. I understand why you did what you did vaakuur but you will never win that fight. I am sure Lorne is a favorite son of the imms and they only acknowledge level headed actions when this game preys on your passion. Which eventually it gets sucked out because imms and players either fail to recognize it or they suck it out of you themselves. When people say you will be back yes we probably will all keep playing but when the passion leaves you care less and less and the game really suffers.
I didn't suicide to mobs. I simply used the SUICIDE command because I didn't want to type in DELETE to get my character locked. I just wanted him gone so I know I wouldn't be back. I don't have any other high level characters because I put all my time into this one. I'm only explaining myself right now because I just want you all to know that I'm done. You've lost a player. I'm gonna get myself a PS4 and renew my WoW account, probably tomorrow.
I don't have the desire to put anymore time into this shit. I'm starting FULL TIME college courses in a couple days for a degree that's going to take me two years to get. Good riddance, indeed.
I'm starting up being a full-time student again next week, it doesn't take every hour of the day. That being said, I'm sorry to see such frustration from you. I didn't get to interact with Vaakuur, but I understand he was a pretty decent character. Lorne does only duel in the arena or Gnome Village anymore. He used to duel anywhere, but after that change with rage attacking anything, he limited himself. Sure, exploit your strengths, but Warlords also like a challenge. Maybe it's coming to a new era within the Warlords, only time will tell.
Wow, I liked Vakuur. With that said, I really am not impressed with Lorne in any fashion from an rp standard across several characters. As it is, I have never had a Warlord, so I could give a crap haha. You will eventually be back. Good luck with your next.
Let's set up the scenario of what happened with your character when you decided to go full-retard.
So everytime I logon we pretty much duel. We've dueled in the Arena, Gnome Village, Unsillel Woods and the Mystic Forest. The place I did refuse to duel with is the Ford, which I tend to refuse now from past experiences of running out of moves chasing someone across the mountain terrain.
I found it great that you were on alot and always wanted to fight different people and often. You were very dedicated to becoming a better fighter as a monk. Unfortunately you weren't very good at taking any criticism very well when you lost or get better at your fighting skills. You just seem to think the size of the battleground was the issue of you losing, which fair enough, is a factor. And just kept challenging me one duel after another without thinking of a new strategy. After fighting ten times, you were victorious only once and I changed up my styles against you after that and you didn't even notice. Heck, all I did was wear a two-handed weapon all the time because you just stayed in dual wield style after that and hobbled you to death. So I was trying to be critical for you to assess yourself before we fought again, there's no point in senseless dueling.
If you got a problem with my leadership style in Warlords, cool. Keep it in game and beat me there. Everyone has different opinions on how things should be dealt with. Explain to me why your rational is correct. Make Blademaster and challenge me for leadership if you think that's necessary. But if you're going to break cabal conduct multiple times, you are going to get booted. I even just demoted you to begin with and gave you a warning but you decided to go full trash anyways. I consider Warlords a mid-tier cabal, it's usually not as cut-throat as Legion but more advanced then Knights so I expect cabal members to uphold proper conduct.
I think it's better sad when you let one character ruin your own character that you invested so much time in. I hope your frustration only stems from losing a few duels and you'll come back to the game stronger and better. Other then the ending melt-down, I think you were well on your ways to becoming an accomplished Warlord. Good luck on your future project.
P.S.: I like how people are assuming I only duel this way or that way. It's true, if someone challenges me and asks me where to duel, I'm most likely going to say the Arena or Gnome Village. The arena, will because that's where duels happens. Gnome Village, because that's how the Warlords of old have been doing it since. It offers mixed terrain so it's fair for most fighter classes to make use of class skills (herb and dirt kick come to mind).
Oh come on. You guys just sit around and duel. How is that advanced? Warlords and Knights both have codes of conduct but Knights at least have a purpose.
The only true cabals are Legion, Knight and Justice. Anything else is just a colored character flag.
That's just how it's always been divsky. Knights are the newbie cabal that a player usually aims to get in first before trying any other cabal. It usually has the least restrictions for entry and are more lax on the members. Also goodies are just nicer to each other.
Lol, not sure why you're taking so much offense to it. Not like you own the Knight cabal or something. I've had many Knights in the past and have had alot of success with them, it's just more entry level that's all.
I agree that Knights is the newbie Cabal, and we seem to attract more noobs than any other cabal. Its a forgiving place to learn because you only have to worry about evil, you don't have any of the backbiting that sometimes comes in other cabals. I like Knights simply because usually the good players pick other cabals, and its nice to have someone good to fight :twisted:
Actually, that statement about Warlords being for more advanced players did make me lawl a bit.
To this day I view Warlords as a plumped up coterie and not a true cabal. True cabals to me = Knights, Legion, Justice (not in any particular order)
Keepers and Warlords are cool to have around, but lack purpose. When Keeper is given a purpose, people throw a fit because "Why the eff would I fight him/her? Just to lose all my rares and gain nothing if I win? Nope."
Warlords have a purpose, but it hasn't deviated into what I view as a 'cabal'. It's more a "Rawr, lets all have a swell time dueling" club at the moment, less a "They insulted my honor! I shall smash their skulls and make sure they understand that I am superior in every way!"
I'd have no problem with a player unseating a cabal's mortal leader if it was done properly and in character. From this monk's perspective, he had reasonable cause to want to do so, as Lorne genuinely appeared cowardly to him. Unfortunately, he suicided instead of seizing the RP opportunity to do so.
Looking back, some of the best AR moments I've exerpienced have been seeing or participating in successful and unsuccessful coups.
Mr. Forgotten you sound like a very angry guy. Don't blame AR for your anger problem. Plenty other players manage to play this game just fine without one.
Purpose is derived from a few places, one of which is role play. However, that isn't the only place. Any attempt to place it squarely on role play alone, is an unsurprising attempt at trolling.
I can recall quite a few amazing pkers in Keepers. Only a few good role players and rarely in the same person. I know a few of the latter and the former, to an individual they felt constrained. Yet, somehow, I feel certain you will assume your answer is THE answer. So, as you were.
I don't have anything to prove Faelon, my last character was a human dark knight herald bartender whose hobby was murdering people without getting caught.
[quote:4fc04308ac="Bladefurry"]Mikoos actually said something I half way agree with. Legion is bamf's on many many occasions.[/quote:4fc04308ac]
Welp, that's my legitimacy for the year. ;)
I'd say roleplay is 80% of the purpose. 20% is the cabal artifact game of tag....
There's nothing quite like the feeling of being in Knights and having an everyday conversation with your superior even though he knows you want to murder him and vice versa(and that may just happen). Reminds me of dialog in a Tarantino film.
sorry dav but lorne is the only trash char in this thread. and is actually a fairly good example of why pk among players leaves a lot to be desired. any cabal leader that hides in his guild is a bad role model for pkers. why do people have to write you there should be staff actually making sure cabal members, leaders especially, are actually setting an example for their cabal and new players.
