My earliest memories begin with pain and suffering as do most of our kind
who are not born into nobility. My mother endured countless atrocities that
need not be spoken of, yet my father took out his anger of his own failures
his family. My father was once a respected man, looked upon as someone with
integrity and beyond reproach. What became his demise is a gambling
addiction that changed our lives forever. My father attempted to retrieve
the wealth he grew accustomed to, but with every wager, our lives fell into
more despair. He forced my mother to work in the brothel and inevitably he
sold to be a leisure activity for anyone that had two coins to rub together.
My mother endured this treatment until one fateful day, my eighteenth
birthday. I awoke to a cold liquid dripping on my forehead jolting me from
my peaceful rest to only remind me of the terror that awaits. I gaze to see
the source of the liquid and it was the body of my mother hanging from the
ceiling with a spear through the throat of my father anchoring him to the
wall. The note my mother left is to leave the Unlit city and seek a better
life of law and integrity. Bring back honor to the family name and return
our family crest to the rightful positions of judgment and order.
Description:
Emerging from the shadows is a tall dark figure consuming the very
presence of light. Your eyes dart in all directions trying to discern the
details of this shadowy figure before you. With each passing moment you
notice a small detail that you had not seen before. As your eyes begin to
focus you notice his shoulder length hair blowing fiercely about. Every
single hair on his head is perfectly straight and appears to share the
softness of fresh snow matching the color of the palest moon. His eyes are
dead, motionless as if the Blood God Himself plucked them from his skull and
dipped them in the river of death. His ears are elongated and pointed at
the tip. On the lobes of his ears, self-inflicted wounds have developed
into keloids can be seen. Each scar is on display to commemorate the
captured soul of his victims. Multiple tattoos cover the sides of his neck
and throat. With every breath, the crimson ink appears to become more and
more vibrant displaying a dagger piercing a golden rose. His agility is on
display with slender shoulders and lengthy limbs. He appears to be able to
change form as effortless as the giant octopus in the great sea. One final
gaze at this creature and you see tiny bits of silver flashing before you
and painful grin escapes his stoic gaze. He clearly enjoys the pain.
This im sure comes as no surprise. Rhaktor great fight, your weapon switching with sideswipe had me staring at the screen like is this guy using triggers or macros. But thank you for giving me a good fight and allowing me to get this off my chest.
Zanward it was an absolute pleasure to be in the same cabal with you, I hope you go far and best of luck to you in your return.
Davairus I know we have had our differences in game and how things were handled, the rest of these guys appreciate what you are doing, but I can't change my play style.
The rest of you really and truly make me never want to play this game again.
Xenyar your comment of I can't believe he hasn't deleted yet that was it for me. You are a player who I feel churns out great characters, usually when i find out you played a particular race/class I make the exact same thing to try and mimic your success failed ever time. To read that from you and to see how it manifested itself in game and out was honestly the motivating factor for me to lose complete interest in this community and to continue playing this game.
I can't remember if it was lionspyre or hamsandwhich that said Take a note from your predecessor Kremina;) Comments like this are why I don't want to play here.
Then all of the hate that I am getting from hamsandwhich, Ashlyn, Kento all the crap I read on discord about me and my characters, its just not worth it. When I talk about OOC this is what I am talking about. I log into Discord as Kremina, I didn't even realize that was my user name the moment I do, the player behind Dogran private messages me to talk about the fight with him with Balbina where he ganked me and multikill. He is so happy to tell me he is the one behind Dogran, why do you think? So I message him back to say yeah lets team up or lets not kill each other. That is my thought process when someone would do that. So if the player behind Dogran is more than happy to tell me who he is, am I to think he doesn't do that with anyone else? When I complain about the way the game is played it is from one voice, but then the masses complain about me doing the exact same shit you are doing everyone piles on.
Specifically to a comment that was made on Discord where I said Dogran and Kali are OOC and they coordinated their attacks so I would want them both. Thats not what I am saying at all, its obvious who the player behind Kali is because every character he makes has the same name and last name so those of you that are friends of his make his life easier. So me personally when these bullshit ganks keep taking place its not an evil justice issue, its lets go kill Ozaru's character. That is how I feel, right wrong or indifferent.

I'm sorry to see this one go, Ozaru. You're entitled to your opinion, which you state right here at the end of your comment. I think we can all relate to the feeling that forces beyond your control are conspiring against you. I do hope people recognize your acknowledgement of this as the responses roll out.
In reference to your comment here:
"I can't remember if it was lionspyre or hamsandwhich that said Take a note from your predecessor Kremina;) Comments like this are why I don't want to play here."
That was me, and I'm very sorry you felt that way about the comment. I actually thought quite a lot about that comment, because I wanted to try to reach you in a way that might break through that wall of 'everyone is out to get me'. Kremina was a Drow Justice who was around right before Chul. The community's vastly different responses to these two characters was something I felt you might relate to. Did I have my suspicion that these were the same player? Sure (given the similarity in logs, playstyle, race-class-cabal, etc.). But I had no way of confirming, and in-game I certainly don't think about these things. All of my characters that interacted with these two had very different relationships with each of them. My comment wasn't meant to call out that these two were from the same player. I was simply hoping to point out the fact that in rapid succession, the two most active Justices were Drow Shadows. And that there were vastly different responses from the community.
Anyhow, I wish you the best of luck, whether that means rolling a new character, taking a break, or moving on. You're a good player who makes impactful characters. Until next time.

I pretty much am never on discord. Every once in awhile I pop in to see if someone has said anything important because I feel like some updates/changes/ideas only get mentioned there and nowhere else. But you can ask the regulars there and they'll confirm, I've probably only ever commented less than 10 times, and most of them were about Bladefury's dog lol. (also just to clarify, the Kremina comment wasn't me.)
I don't know what led to this delete but I was surprised to see Chul in the graveyard. You were going strong despite set backs. So good job Ozaru for that, I don't mean this in a demeaning kind of way at all but it seems like an improvement so props are due. Chul was also obviously a very impactful character on the game. Great pk skills too, as you always demonstrate.
As far as the hate that you get from me.
I admit that I am not very nice. There is something about this game, and more specifically the logboard and forum, that makes me be more of an asshole than I am in real life. I think it's left over from my experience here a decade ago when I was younger and things (at least seemed to me) to be much more toxic. It made me toxic and now I'm likely part of the problem.
Anyways though, I hope that it seems like I'm just giving you a hard time. Playful banter kind of thing. You give me shit and I laugh about it and give you shit back. Assuming that you'll laugh about it. Maybe I'm the only one laughing though and that's not fun or fair to you. But know I don't have anything against you Ozaru. I don't dislike you or wish you ill or hope you fail. You're a big part of AR and consistently bring impactful characters to the game. Also, for as much as you think I'm always trying to tear you down, there's a super recent log where you were fighting a monk and I made a comment about a possible bug in your favor! So don't forget, first and foremost my shitty comments are about making the game better. Then secondary to that is poking fun at you hahaha. Maybe I'll manage to step off the second part a bit, since you don't seem to be having as much fun as I thought.
I think the biggest thing though, and it can definitely be hard to do, is that you need to lose the idea that everyone is out to get you. It makes you behave, both in and out of game, in a certain way that isn't beneficial to you. Obviously I cannot speak for everyone, but I think a lot of people have made it clear by now that they are NOT out to get you as bad as you think they are. I'll confirm for myself at least again, I am not against you Ozaru. I am not trying to make you have a worse experience here. I am not trying to tear you down and destroy your characters.

Couple of things, while I expected this delete to happen after killing you, I am sad to see you go. You do bring something to this community, and while I take your I am leaving comment with a grain of salt, considering you do it nearly every time you delete that is what it is. I did reach out to you, but it sounds like you took it out of context. I got to where I am today, because people took an interest in me and they helped me get better than I was before. Vevier, Groq, Kento, Eloret, Olyn. Those are names that stand out for me because all of them helped me to grow as a player and a PKer. There are many other people who have had an impact on me and my time in AR, too many to mention in fact, but these are the biggest contributors. To blatantly call everything OOC is a huge problem you seem to have. If people are ganking you, they must be OOC. You literally have been spending all of your time in a cabal whose only purpose is to gank people. There is no middle ground. If there is a criminal all justices are REQUIRED to pile on, and then you get mad when you get ganked. That just makes me laugh helplessly because it is so misguided. You keep saying everyone hates you, that they are targeting you, that it is what driving you away. Why do you think that is? It couldn’t possibly be because you are playing an asshole, right? Your character literally does everything it can to piss people off. It’s like that every time, and it’s why you always end up feeling like this. Well guess what, Dogran’s an asshole and the same thing is happening to me. You don’t see me whining and crying on the logboard about it? Literally, I ran around last night and ran off a 6 minute ensnare last night while you guys couldn’t stop me. It was 2v2, and I was on zero hours on the ensnare. I was literally about to escape when Kali piled on and murdered me. Does that look or spark of OOC? Of course not. I got fucked in that situation, and who cares? Dogran is the big bad, he deserved it. All I can say, is you have a big chip on your shoulder, and no one else actually cares that much about you as a player in regard to your characters. They are coming after you because you do things in game to piss them off. You need to toughen up and stop expecting people to conform to your will and play the game the way you want them to play it. We are all here for our own reasons, our own entertainment and we are all going to keep playing it the way we want to. Oh, and good luck with the next!
It doesn't really make sense to delete clutching your pearls about OOC/obvious when youve just played 4 drow ninja Justices in a row. I don't really get on AR much so nobody should care much about what I think, but I just logout when I see an enormously stupid character like Kali. I just don't bother playing a sub-par version of AR. Its temporary. Your identity was only slightly less obvious.
Kali the character hated Chul the character in game because of in game interactions between Chul, Kali, and Kali's friends. As a player, I have absolutely nothing against you, Ozaru, as I've stated many times. Kali and Dogran have been fighting each other ever since they were first in PK range, and they will continue to fight each other until one of them is gone. I've never said anything bad about you in discord, nor would I. I think you as a player are great and add a lot of spice to the game. I'm sorry you feel like you've been targeted OOC but please know when Kali has gone after you it has purely been due to IC reasons and interactions.

Ozaru. I have no reference to like or dislike you. I wasn't around when you started playing and made your most memorable characters and never interacted with you until this character(from what I can tell). Just from reading logs and your comments on the logboard and forum I knew immediately you were Chul based on your rants and behavior you exhibited here. You consistently follow the same script. Roll a character, kick ass and take names, take a loss, get emotional, delete and rant promising to never return. Then you come back and wow everyone with the next one. You are one of the top tier players still around from a skill perspective(ten times better than myself), and you even put in the effort to RP even if a bit late. I LOVED CHUL as a character OOC, but I don't necessarily like the way you play. You take no risks, try to rack up kills like your picking up gold coins in Mario, take EVERYTHING IC and OOC personal. Objectively, you played Chul as the perfect evil justice. However in doing so you earned a TON of hate. You werent targetted because people knew who you were. You were targetted because of the IC hate. You were actually more hated than Dogran legitimately earned. Thats great, thats what makes memorable characters. If you picked yourself up, shut up and stuck it out, this one was an easy road to exalted. I hope you come back and look forward to the next one you make whether its a friend or foe. You're truly a great player. Play your character how you want and ignore the noise. You get beat? You're good enough to get revenge IC. Your complaining and finger pointing is the biggest thing that gets you OOC hate. Despite that what I am reading on here is that everyone appreciated the character you played. You want to talk, well I am on Discord now. Not as an OOC tool to get IC advantages but to talk to people who have the same interest in this game I enjoy and invest time into. /rant
So sorry to see Chul go. I'm truly saddened and loved the time we spent.. I would tell my wife about all the crazy stories, drama, and adventures. Totally agree with others, Chul added so much amazing drama to the realms and I thought it was great! He upset the balance and disrupted everything to pull off a lawful evil and be a justice. You had this place on lockdown. Recently, I had a feeling that Chul wasn't in a good place anymore which was a shame. I was actually hoping Chul enjoyed being the bane of existence and would go down with a legacy of fighting the world! It was an honor to be a part of it!
And Ozaru, I thank you so much for all the time, help, and guidance you gave me with the game! That OOC stuff sucks and I even asked about that very thing when I Joined the discord.. brings us too close to each other and connects us in a way that's ripe for abuse.
I'll miss my in game adventure companion! And Zanward is so screwed now. oh well haha
Guess I can stop worrying about the efficacy of my wolf guardian... While my character will be comforted to know that you're gone, the player will miss the high-octane drama.
No one is out to get you personally, but Ilromie is out to get evil Justices and drow most of all. As someone whose been writing obituaries for all of them, I'll note that you keep rolling natural, in-character targets for her. When you have the chance to consider why you're feeling this way, I hope you keep that in mind.

Yeah Ozaru. Make an elf warrior and show us all what dance of silver leaves can do.
Honestly I really want the legacy of gonturan set to stop being anti-good. Make it useable by elf warrior and I'll personally roll one cause I think it'd be sick.
But that's off topic. What I'm getting at Ozaru is make a nice character. Make an uncaballed good or something idk. Like you make multiple godamn drow shadow Justices in a row. That's like the epitome of worst fucking combo ever. Everyone hates that shit. So you can't roll that and rp a piece of shit dickhead and then cry when people treat you like a piece of shit dickhead.
There once was a Justice named Chul
Who took many victims to school.
When Ole Rhaktor wrecked him,
He cried 'Zanward, protect them,
For I'm dying myself now. How cruel!'
He was a freaking badass, and I had some RP I wanted to see how it would go with you.
Sorry it seems like you don't enjoy some aspects of the community. I reckon others might be onto something with "Try a different race/class for a different experience."?
All my best, for your next one. I bet it's even tougher than Chul.
I will admit, as much as I disliked Chul and I had a strong feeling I knew who he was long before he deleted, he role-played the lawful evil alignment really well. In fact, when I think about various characters I have known over the years, only Dhua did a better job that I can remember. Chul was manipulative, methodical, and consistently projected the air of somebody daring you to take him on as he enforced the laws.
Now, I won't touch on the OOC stuff since I don't enter the AR Discord and I only talk to three people from AR outside of AR. However, I have cut off contact with more than one AR player in the past for varying reasons. You don't have to get involved with the OOC side if you don't want to.
Oz, I read your post here shortly after you deleted. It resonated with me. I genuinely felt bad. It was on my mind all day to be honest. It hurt knowing that you said I was the guy. I don't know about discord, messages, OOC groups accusations or any of that. I can just speak to what I am part of. I mentioned twice something about you not deleting. The first time it was a thumbs up, a pat on the back. Usually you do throw in the towel quickly (it's your char, who are we to judge, seriously?). It was also my failed attempt at reverse-phycology. I really thought it had some effect, because you were NOT deleting. You were sticking through the tough shit...and still kicking ass and taking names. The second time was sarcastic humor(that's just who I am). But that's an excuse, not a good reason. I shouldn't have posted that. This world is full of computers, emails and texts...we all just type shit out and most of us don't stop and take the time to think what is the reaction to my actions. I am guilty of this. We may disagree with battles or tactics or whatever here on the log board. That's fine. I am also guilty of goading people in game. But I promise you there is nothing "manifested" in or out of game. You are a GREAT part of our community, and you are one of the top pkers in AR. You always create the char that will be one of my best fights.
Do you remember..whichever ninja justice you had... that was ganked with the imms passing whos char is whos to others.. the one Dav spoke out about and denounced. I was one of the, if not the first, ones to defend and vocalize with and for you. I thought it was bullshit and wanted names. I was with you. The last thing I want is for you to think I have anything manifested against you. I really mean that. Again...what you said resonated with me.
Check your PM.

Having seeing that stuff mentioned again ("harassment" for brevity's sake), let me take the opportunity to "double down" here to underline that those earlier apologies from the lower-level Imms were sincere and that the upper-level imms (imps) have been keeping a dutiful look-out ever since all that happened. It is us who were in the wrong for not listening and not responding to the earlier complaints. That it why you guys ended up seeing a big meltdown song and dance every single time to get our attention. It is not just an "ozaru always rage deletes" thing.
HoE. Straight up I fucking hate you ozaru. You will always be a fucking cunt. Community standard broken but this character was fucking baddddd assssssssss you're retarded for deleting instead of just sticking it out because you'd get more than just my 1 HoE call out. Everyone else gonna shit on it but I dont care you consistently play good shadows and rangers. Some that rival me pking to the fucking max like I derive plans and have to go through 5 or 6 skirmishes to find a tactic that works. We will see you again you whine ass baby.

Im gonna go for the hard disagree there nadrin. Point blank you 1: dont have a successful justice or evil justice for that matter 2: how many shadows have you played? I am gonna write this one down and remember because I havent seen a successful EVIL justice since like fynth and dhua. However I am not comparing chul to their level of extreme skill and Rp. But chul had more than likely been able to become the next Iron commander of shadows or some cool shit. Lost and learned I guess.

Chul had the ability and the notoriety - just needed longevity. I loved the character and will probably remember Chul for a long time. Really well played evil justice. Ozaru if it felt like it was 'you against the world' that's just because there wasn't another active evil justice around with you - which is just bad luck. You would have done some serious damage if you had a little backup from a shaman to help offset some of those uneven fights (that were results of other in-game characters hating your character - a great mark of a successful evil). Zanward was starting to fill that role though and it's fun to see a neutral get dragged into conflicts started by an evil cabal mate. This really stirs things up for the neutral and might break down alliances/friendships and make new enemies.
I enjoyed Chul because it felt like I saw Vya running around again, it’s just the stuff on the logboards that made be go bleh when I thought of the character. And no, I didn’t know it was you Ozaru. I don’t play enough to keep tabs on people’s play styles and all that so go ahead and get it out of your head that I’m “targeting you because it’s you.” Frankly I don’t care that much.
I’m going to give you some tough love but end it with some words of advice. Honestly this feels like the same ol song and dance from you Ozaru. All of your graveyards have some long rant about how you feel targeted by the players, how they bad mouthed you, blah blah, boohoo. You act like a kindergartener about how you manage your emotions and the way you interact with the game - acting helpless as if you have no control over how you manage the level of interaction and information you consume on the forums and discord. Meanwhile you run around murdering everyone in the game nonstop and wonder why you have no friends and are getting teamed up on? Isn’t it obvious? Be a dick and you get the dick.
On the backside of all that - I’d highly recommend you take the weight out of everyone else’s comments about you. I was (probably still am) hated by many people throughout the years of playing and took on a ton of verbal abuse from people. Did it suck and hurt my feeling? Sometimes. Did I rage because of it? Sometimes. We all make our mistakes, but ultimately you learn that it’s only your opinion about yourself that matters. My question for you then becomes...who are you playing this game for? Yourself or for the recognition of others? This isn’t just relevant to the game, it’s relevant to life. I’d challenge you to flip your script on how you interact with the community and how you play the game because you are a formidable, top tier player, you just get in the way of yourself.
Better luck next time.

Pretty much this.
You had a good character going, but the endless crying on the logboards was just... ughh... broken record... You were playing a really decent evil justice. The type that makes everyone hate the character and quite literally give me a headache(this can be a good thing, even as stated on Vya's GY). I've had some great interactions with Ilromie and the Insane Clown Posse because of this character honestly. I think we could've had even more amazing back and forths if I wasn't so busy IRL.
On the point that it's a hated character, that's just the way you played it. You could've easily hung back and not start fighting endlessly but you chose to fight instead. Are people crying about you hanging in town? Good, you're a fucking Justice, you should. But, I don't blame a single character for abandoning their crap to literally try to beat you down by any means necessary. Instead of looking at it as "OMG THIS IS SO OOC", you could take it as "Man I pissed the whole game off, this is great, screw them all". I can't think of many characters in the recent times that were as hated as you. Even Kali stated it's been a long time since an HGOD has been performed... They literally did this to you, but you immediately focused on the fact it HAD to be OOC. It's crazy to think about really. We've had recent HoE characters and whatnot that were just good all around players, but I'm not sure if I really ever feared or disliked any of the last 5-10 as much as your recent splurge of shadows. Dislike doesn't mean you as a person, but Chul the character.
People can complain about discord or irc or whatever they want and that's fine. I feel I've really gotten to know some of the pbase there. I'd say 3/4 of the discussion isn't even AR related really. Regardless, it's not for everyone and that's absolutely perfectly fine.
People are trying to contact you about your characters? Don't be tempted, just say fuck em.
I probably like your characters more than anyone else because I simply know your characters are going to push everyone simply because of this. I can honestly say the best times I've had playing this game was not knowing who was on the other side. When I had Artos, I can't possibly explain the amount of laughter and great times I had with Calram, never knowing who played him till it was over. The second you take a step towards knowing who plays who, I, personally, feel the game just isn't nearly as fun.
I really hope someday you get beyond playing the victim. You are an elite player and it's the only thing holding you back from really standing out. Focus more on the positives from these messages instead of the negatives.
Honestly man, this is why I left the discord channel. I was really excited to get into contact with someone I used to spend a ton of time ooc talking in aim and icq while playing AR. They immediately went to talking about AR. I just thought man. I don't play like this anymore and it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
This two best things I have ever done for myself was not claim some of my characters and to seperate myself from ooc. The game is a million times better if the mystique is intact.
Ozaru dude you have really grown as a player. Fucking kudos
P.s. Don't stop the longboard flame. I made Lanadrah because of how much shit you were causing it looked like so much fun
Wait.. if this guy is lawful, why was he able to attack in town with no repercussions? That was when he wasn't even a justice.
Are lawfuls allowed to break the law as long as there are no mortal eyes around to witness?

There's ways for imms to check that before inductions. If that is a thing people are doing, we can definitely crack down easily. Justice has a mortal leader at the moment. We dont auto-outcast people for attacking in town but if they are apprehended, then they are outcasted without imm intervention
yell Chul, if you still about talk me. You can have things back I dont want

So me personally when these bullshit ganks keep taking place its not an evil justice issue, its lets go kill Ozaru's character. That is how I feel, right wrong or indifferent.

Every once in awhile I pop in to see if someone has said anything important because I feel like some updates/changes/ideas only get mentioned there and nowhere else. But you can ask the regulars there and they'll confirm, I've probably only ever commented less than 10 times, and most of them were about Bladefury's dog lol. (also just to clarify, the Kremina comment wasn't me.)

1 , 0 , 0 . Ham... given the length, timing, and similar content of our responses in general, I really don't blame Ozaru for getting our comments confused LOL hamsandwich 
1 , 0 , 0 . lionSpyre are you me? Dogran 
1 , 0 , 0 . Couple of things, while I expected this delete to happen after killing you, I am sad to see you go. You do bring something to this community, and while I take your I am leaving comment with a grain of salt, considering you do it nearly every time you delete that is what it is. I did reach out to you, but it sounds like you took it out of context. I got to where I am today, because people took an interest in me and they helped me get better than I was before. Vevier, Groq, Kento, Eloret, Olyn. Those are names that stand out for me because all of them helped me to grow as a player and a PKer. There are many other people who have had an impact on me and my time in AR, too many to mention in fact, but these are the biggest contributors. To blatantly call everything OOC is a huge problem you seem to have. If people are ganking you, they must be OOC. You literally have been spending all of your time in a cabal whose only purpose is to gank people. There is no middle ground. If there is a criminal all justices are REQUIRED to pile on, and then you get mad when you get ganked. That just makes me laugh helplessly because it is so misguided. You keep saying everyone hates you, that they are targeting you, that it is what driving you away. Why do you think that is? It couldn’t possibly be because you are playing an asshole, right? Your character literally does everything it can to piss people off. It’s like that every time, and it’s why you always end up feeling like this. Well guess what, Dogran’s an asshole and the same thing is happening to me. You don’t see me whining and crying on the logboard about it? Literally, I ran around last night and ran off a 6 minute ensnare last night while you guys couldn’t stop me. It was 2v2, and I was on zero hours on the ensnare. I was literally about to escape when Kali piled on and murdered me. Does that look or spark of OOC? Of course not. I got fucked in that situation, and who cares? Dogran is the big bad, he deserved it. All I can say, is you have a big chip on your shoulder, and no one else actually cares that much about you as a player in regard to your characters. They are coming after you because you do things in game to piss them off. You need to toughen up and stop expecting people to conform to your will and play the game the way you want them to play it. We are all here for our own reasons, our own entertainment and we are all going to keep playing it the way we want to. Oh, and good luck with the next! Zaltoz 0 , 0 , 1 . It doesn't really make sense to delete clutching your pearls about OOC/obvious when youve just played 4 drow ninja Justices in a row. I don't really get on AR much so nobody should care much about what I think, but I just logout when I see an enormously stupid character like Kali. I just don't bother playing a sub-par version of AR. Its temporary. Your identity was only slightly less obvious. Kali 1 , 0 , 2 . Kali the character hated Chul the character in game because of in game interactions between Chul, Kali, and Kali's friends. As a player, I have absolutely nothing against you, Ozaru, as I've stated many times. Kali and Dogran have been fighting each other ever since they were first in PK range, and they will continue to fight each other until one of them is gone. I've never said anything bad about you in discord, nor would I. I think you as a player are great and add a lot of spice to the game. I'm sorry you feel like you've been targeted OOC but please know when Kali has gone after you it has purely been due to IC reasons and interactions. Ashlyn 
4 , 0 , 0 . Ozaru. I have no reference to like or dislike you. I wasn't around when you started playing and made your most memorable characters and never interacted with you until this character(from what I can tell). Just from reading logs and your comments on the logboard and forum I knew immediately you were Chul based on your rants and behavior you exhibited here. You consistently follow the same script. Roll a character, kick ass and take names, take a loss, get emotional, delete and rant promising to never return. Then you come back and wow everyone with the next one. You are one of the top tier players still around from a skill perspective(ten times better than myself), and you even put in the effort to RP even if a bit late. I LOVED CHUL as a character OOC, but I don't necessarily like the way you play. You take no risks, try to rack up kills like your picking up gold coins in Mario, take EVERYTHING IC and OOC personal. Objectively, you played Chul as the perfect evil justice. However in doing so you earned a TON of hate. You werent targetted because people knew who you were. You were targetted because of the IC hate. You were actually more hated than Dogran legitimately earned. Thats great, thats what makes memorable characters. If you picked yourself up, shut up and stuck it out, this one was an easy road to exalted. I hope you come back and look forward to the next one you make whether its a friend or foe. You're truly a great player. Play your character how you want and ignore the noise. You get beat? You're good enough to get revenge IC. Your complaining and finger pointing is the biggest thing that gets you OOC hate. Despite that what I am reading on here is that everyone appreciated the character you played. You want to talk, well I am on Discord now. Not as an OOC tool to get IC advantages but to talk to people who have the same interest in this game I enjoy and invest time into. /rant Zanward 2 , 0 , 0 . Damnit damnit damnit.

[reply to Ozaru]In reference to your comment here:
"I can't remember if it was lionspyre or hamsandwhich that said Take a note from your predecessor Kremina;) Comments like this are why I don't want to play here."
That was me, and I'm very sorry you felt that way about the comment. I actually thought quite a lot about that comment, because I wanted to try to reach you in a way that might break through that wall of 'everyone is out to get me'. Kremina was a Drow Justice who was around right before Chul. The community's vastly different responses to these two characters was something I felt you might relate to. Did I have my suspicion that these were the same player? Sure (given the similarity in logs, playstyle, race-class-cabal, etc.). But I had no way of confirming, and in-game I certainly don't think about these things. All of my characters that interacted with these two had very different relationships with each of them. My comment wasn't meant to call out that these two were from the same player. I was simply hoping to point out the fact that in rapid succession, the two most active Justices were Drow Shadows. And that there were vastly different responses from the community.
Anyhow, I wish you the best of luck, whether that means rolling a new character, taking a break, or moving on. You're a good player who makes impactful characters. Until next time.
I don't know what led to this delete but I was surprised to see Chul in the graveyard. You were going strong despite set backs. So good job Ozaru for that, I don't mean this in a demeaning kind of way at all but it seems like an improvement so props are due. Chul was also obviously a very impactful character on the game. Great pk skills too, as you always demonstrate.
As far as the hate that you get from me.
I admit that I am not very nice. There is something about this game, and more specifically the logboard and forum, that makes me be more of an asshole than I am in real life. I think it's left over from my experience here a decade ago when I was younger and things (at least seemed to me) to be much more toxic. It made me toxic and now I'm likely part of the problem.
Anyways though, I hope that it seems like I'm just giving you a hard time. Playful banter kind of thing. You give me shit and I laugh about it and give you shit back. Assuming that you'll laugh about it. Maybe I'm the only one laughing though and that's not fun or fair to you. But know I don't have anything against you Ozaru. I don't dislike you or wish you ill or hope you fail. You're a big part of AR and consistently bring impactful characters to the game. Also, for as much as you think I'm always trying to tear you down, there's a super recent log where you were fighting a monk and I made a comment about a possible bug in your favor! So don't forget, first and foremost my shitty comments are about making the game better. Then secondary to that is poking fun at you hahaha. Maybe I'll manage to step off the second part a bit, since you don't seem to be having as much fun as I thought.
I think the biggest thing though, and it can definitely be hard to do, is that you need to lose the idea that everyone is out to get you. It makes you behave, both in and out of game, in a certain way that isn't beneficial to you. Obviously I cannot speak for everyone, but I think a lot of people have made it clear by now that they are NOT out to get you as bad as you think they are. I'll confirm for myself at least again, I am not against you Ozaru. I am not trying to make you have a worse experience here. I am not trying to tear you down and destroy your characters.
lmao. nah you're nicer than I am.
So sorry to see Chul go. I'm truly saddened and loved the time we spent.. I would tell my wife about all the crazy stories, drama, and adventures. Totally agree with others, Chul added so much amazing drama to the realms and I thought it was great! He upset the balance and disrupted everything to pull off a lawful evil and be a justice. You had this place on lockdown. Recently, I had a feeling that Chul wasn't in a good place anymore which was a shame. I was actually hoping Chul enjoyed being the bane of existence and would go down with a legacy of fighting the world! It was an honor to be a part of it!
And Ozaru, I thank you so much for all the time, help, and guidance you gave me with the game! That OOC stuff sucks and I even asked about that very thing when I Joined the discord.. brings us too close to each other and connects us in a way that's ripe for abuse.
I'll miss my in game adventure companion! And Zanward is so screwed now. oh well haha
I was just about to become Fox News to report what was REALLY happening with those murderous elves.
No one is out to get you personally, but Ilromie is out to get evil Justices and drow most of all. As someone whose been writing obituaries for all of them, I'll note that you keep rolling natural, in-character targets for her. When you have the chance to consider why you're feeling this way, I hope you keep that in mind.
hamsandwich 
2 , 0 , 0 . Yeah Ozaru. Make an elf warrior and show us all what dance of silver leaves can do.
[reply to Ilromie]Honestly I really want the legacy of gonturan set to stop being anti-good. Make it useable by elf warrior and I'll personally roll one cause I think it'd be sick.
But that's off topic. What I'm getting at Ozaru is make a nice character. Make an uncaballed good or something idk. Like you make multiple godamn drow shadow Justices in a row. That's like the epitome of worst fucking combo ever. Everyone hates that shit. So you can't roll that and rp a piece of shit dickhead and then cry when people treat you like a piece of shit dickhead.
There once was a Justice named Chul
Who took many victims to school.
When Ole Rhaktor wrecked him,
He cried 'Zanward, protect them,
For I'm dying myself now. How cruel!'

He was a freaking badass, and I had some RP I wanted to see how it would go with you.
Sorry it seems like you don't enjoy some aspects of the community. I reckon others might be onto something with "Try a different race/class for a different experience."?
All my best, for your next one. I bet it's even tougher than Chul.

[reply to Djinx]
Now, I won't touch on the OOC stuff since I don't enter the AR Discord and I only talk to three people from AR outside of AR. However, I have cut off contact with more than one AR player in the past for varying reasons. You don't have to get involved with the OOC side if you don't want to.
[reply to BlackWidow]
Do you remember..whichever ninja justice you had... that was ganked with the imms passing whos char is whos to others.. the one Dav spoke out about and denounced. I was one of the, if not the first, ones to defend and vocalize with and for you. I thought it was bullshit and wanted names. I was with you. The last thing I want is for you to think I have anything manifested against you. I really mean that. Again...what you said resonated with me.
Check your PM.
Davairus 0 , 0 , 0 . Having seeing that stuff mentioned again ("harassment" for brevity's sake), let me take the opportunity to "double down" here to underline that those earlier apologies from the lower-level Imms were sincere and that the upper-level imms (imps) have been keeping a dutiful look-out ever since all that happened. It is us who were in the wrong for not listening and not responding to the earlier complaints. That it why you guys ended up seeing a big meltdown song and dance every single time to get our attention. It is not just an "ozaru always rage deletes" thing.
[reply to Xenyar]Ilromie 0 , 0 , 0 . This character had the chance. I wanted to see the end of of a few yarns before he gets the vote. Davairus 0 , 0 , 0 . Just for the benefit of anyone reading. You'll definitely get ruled out of HoE for posting negative or immature stuff on the logboard under your ACTIVE in-game character name. It pisses off the logboard royalty and that's you sunk. Thorgoth 
1 , 0 , 0 . Definitely not. This was a flash bang character and a mid level cabal member who was only around 2 months. Justa baby. Bladefury BANNED 1 , 0 , 0 . I am looking at ozaru collectively as a player I guess. He should be in HoE but he is to damn dumb to put in that little extra time. Xenyar 
1 , 0 , 0 . Longevity would have most likely had my vote too. Ask the other emissaries or imms.. I'm a tough cookie to give a +1hoes vote. Nadrin 0 , 0 , 1 . Definitely not, too short lived, and too whiney. For me it's will I even know this characters name a year from now, and the answer to that question is a resounding no. Bladefury BANNED 0 , 0 , 0 . Im gonna go for the hard disagree there nadrin. Point blank you 1: dont have a successful justice or evil justice for that matter 2: how many shadows have you played? I am gonna write this one down and remember because I havent seen a successful EVIL justice since like fynth and dhua. However I am not comparing chul to their level of extreme skill and Rp. But chul had more than likely been able to become the next Iron commander of shadows or some cool shit. Lost and learned I guess. Kalist19 
0 , 0 , 0 . Chul had the ability and the notoriety - just needed longevity. I loved the character and will probably remember Chul for a long time. Really well played evil justice. Ozaru if it felt like it was 'you against the world' that's just because there wasn't another active evil justice around with you - which is just bad luck. You would have done some serious damage if you had a little backup from a shaman to help offset some of those uneven fights (that were results of other in-game characters hating your character - a great mark of a successful evil). Zanward was starting to fill that role though and it's fun to see a neutral get dragged into conflicts started by an evil cabal mate. This really stirs things up for the neutral and might break down alliances/friendships and make new enemies.
[reply to Bladefury]I’m going to give you some tough love but end it with some words of advice. Honestly this feels like the same ol song and dance from you Ozaru. All of your graveyards have some long rant about how you feel targeted by the players, how they bad mouthed you, blah blah, boohoo. You act like a kindergartener about how you manage your emotions and the way you interact with the game - acting helpless as if you have no control over how you manage the level of interaction and information you consume on the forums and discord. Meanwhile you run around murdering everyone in the game nonstop and wonder why you have no friends and are getting teamed up on? Isn’t it obvious? Be a dick and you get the dick.
On the backside of all that - I’d highly recommend you take the weight out of everyone else’s comments about you. I was (probably still am) hated by many people throughout the years of playing and took on a ton of verbal abuse from people. Did it suck and hurt my feeling? Sometimes. Did I rage because of it? Sometimes. We all make our mistakes, but ultimately you learn that it’s only your opinion about yourself that matters. My question for you then becomes...who are you playing this game for? Yourself or for the recognition of others? This isn’t just relevant to the game, it’s relevant to life. I’d challenge you to flip your script on how you interact with the community and how you play the game because you are a formidable, top tier player, you just get in the way of yourself.
Better luck next time.

2 , 0 , 0 . Pretty much this.
[reply to Thorgoth]You had a good character going, but the endless crying on the logboards was just... ughh... broken record... You were playing a really decent evil justice. The type that makes everyone hate the character and quite literally give me a headache(this can be a good thing, even as stated on Vya's GY). I've had some great interactions with Ilromie and the Insane Clown Posse because of this character honestly. I think we could've had even more amazing back and forths if I wasn't so busy IRL.
On the point that it's a hated character, that's just the way you played it. You could've easily hung back and not start fighting endlessly but you chose to fight instead. Are people crying about you hanging in town? Good, you're a fucking Justice, you should. But, I don't blame a single character for abandoning their crap to literally try to beat you down by any means necessary. Instead of looking at it as "OMG THIS IS SO OOC", you could take it as "Man I pissed the whole game off, this is great, screw them all". I can't think of many characters in the recent times that were as hated as you. Even Kali stated it's been a long time since an HGOD has been performed... They literally did this to you, but you immediately focused on the fact it HAD to be OOC. It's crazy to think about really. We've had recent HoE characters and whatnot that were just good all around players, but I'm not sure if I really ever feared or disliked any of the last 5-10 as much as your recent splurge of shadows. Dislike doesn't mean you as a person, but Chul the character.
People can complain about discord or irc or whatever they want and that's fine. I feel I've really gotten to know some of the pbase there. I'd say 3/4 of the discussion isn't even AR related really. Regardless, it's not for everyone and that's absolutely perfectly fine.
People are trying to contact you about your characters? Don't be tempted, just say fuck em.
I probably like your characters more than anyone else because I simply know your characters are going to push everyone simply because of this. I can honestly say the best times I've had playing this game was not knowing who was on the other side. When I had Artos, I can't possibly explain the amount of laughter and great times I had with Calram, never knowing who played him till it was over. The second you take a step towards knowing who plays who, I, personally, feel the game just isn't nearly as fun.
I really hope someday you get beyond playing the victim. You are an elite player and it's the only thing holding you back from really standing out. Focus more on the positives from these messages instead of the negatives.
This two best things I have ever done for myself was not claim some of my characters and to seperate myself from ooc. The game is a million times better if the mystique is intact.
Ozaru dude you have really grown as a player. Fucking kudos
P.s. Don't stop the longboard flame. I made Lanadrah because of how much shit you were causing it looked like so much fun
