Ocardus taught me the fine art of mining, enchanting and crafting... hell.. he taught me pretty much damn near everything I know.
Lingolas helped me fine hone my epiccing technique.
Meh.. well he's just cool :)
Kariyana inadvertantly taught me about the dangers of taking muds too seriously.
And Sylvan helped me learn that I really don't have any patience... and that mass murder can be fun and stress relieving.


I still like the forums... but damn my life is stress free without the game.

Avestifal. Not only did he introduce me to the game, but he taught me loads of stuff, and put up with my incredibly annoying questions.

Carnage, Wraif, Sardonyx, Gerarden, Firelite, Moonsylver, uhmmm, Rashka, and uh Trinity, and Kandris....Celeborn...

Okay, well most of you probably have no idea who half of them are, have no fear, they`re old...and i mean OLD.

Carnage for inviting me to join sos, later leading it.
Wraif cause it gave me a goal.
Sardonyx because she was around as a friend and helped me with other ways to lead than my previous (what did you say? get the hell out of my guild)
Gerarden cause my goal was to be a good leveller like he was...so thanks Ger.
Firelite for showing me around the mud during my first 7 hours on an online mud EVER and showing the patience towards newbies that I have picked up myself. (unless they have a really stupid name or act like a jerk)
Moonsylver...I can`t exactly remember, but i think it mostly motivated by sitting around tsq chatting with friends.
Rashka...hmm kinda of a headbutter but taught me not to get too overly grr with people. Then again, I shoved you in a cage and handed you a tin cup, so I win! HAHA. *cough* right.
Trinity...Well hello...you`re tri av number 1 for humans, lancer was 2nd...so of course i had to be 3rd...More motivation. See...humans DONT SUCK.
Kandris...Well you been my best buddy since about...5 months into the game. Introduced me to the pixiepoo. Helped with the background stuff in guild. Let me lead in your guild a tiny bit too. Love ya`s :)
Celeborn....Duh! Daddypoo! You know everyone secretly loves you...others ...well they`re a tad deluded, they think loving your game doesnt mean loving you, but I know better. *nod nod*

And Me. Read my bottom thingie, Arrogant... Used to be crazy miner chick...not anymore...too many people started doin it... Used to be big on groups, may return to group epics if I can find people who ARENT going to go `hurry hurry hurry`when all they do is sit on their behinds following along letting their triggers do the fighting. (you know who you are). Aside from that. I learned alot of things from alot of different individuals (you all know the small parts that you played in that) small parts dont mean unimportant...together its an impact. Anyhoo. Goodday.

Do be glad still do be influential to someone. Danka, Shira :)

As do be for meself, do be beholden to Sardonyx, Gerarden, Isabelle, Brittania, and Celeborn. Do be remembering Angelus as me old peer and brother in arms :) Do be thinking me did reforge most of his old gear.

Do also be remembering the origional founders of The Circle of Steel. Do be the ones stold with me when crafters were mocked. Together we learned, and Alora's items changed with us. Do be we few that brought the current interest in crafting to the public :)

Lastly I do be thanking all the little people. The ones that try to make their way in Alora without Avatars to help them, without guilds to protect them. To the people who's only friend is their novice sword! Do be saluting you!

Isabelle. Thanks to her, I hold the record for longest consecutive jail time(about 6 months) and the most time overall spent in jail(close to a year). Thanks Isa.

Radyn. Thanks to her, I hold the record for the largest number of simultaneous marks(4). I went from an unmarked account to a month ban. Thanks Radyn.

Eventine. He's gotten me jailed or banned on three different occasions, the most for any one player. Thanks Eventine.

Binkly. He keeps me from having the record for most marks, most banned accounts, and most overall time spent banned, by holding these records himself. Thanks Binkly.

Eomund. The greatest pker in a long time, who taught me how to duel, who went out in the best way anyone could hope to: insulting Isa. Thanks Eomund.

Matthew. The only person the Immortals hate more than me, drawing some of their ire from my head. Thanks Matthew.

Asamov. No wait, never mind. He was a moron and doesn't deserve to be remembered.

Yes, I'm sure. It occured with the character Nuitari, the elven oracle on the account "jebus", and it was in 2002 or 2003(or maybe both...it WAS a long time). It was before sentencing and jailchat, you just threw me in jail and left me there to rot. I quit dl after a month or two of being in jail, then came back when Radyn finally let me out.

The main characters I've used(main character being a triav that I played as my primary character, not counting alts), that I can remember, were:

Althena/Miang the Grugach Knight
Jebus/Nuitari the Elven Oracle
Torrim the Human Arcane Templar
Gilneas the Pixie Conjurer
Xeron the Human Spiritualist
Nuitari the Gnomish Spiritualist
Maiev/Garth/Torrim the Pixie Juggernaut(yes, I changed his/her name a lot)

If YOU like life sentences so much, maybe you should get one. In fact, I heartily encourage you to do so ; )

actually, you'll be surprised to know i didnt even think of you when i wrote about the impatient twits who say hurry hurry hurry. last i checked, you werent bitched out in the middle of my epic runs and told to get the hell out of the dungeon or i'd ungroup you and leave you to get slaughtered by the mobs. another are players who are pre-banned before hitting tri av. they say 'hurry' once during regular level and i make sure they cant join me. heh...if the ones i'm talking about, dont know who they are...they're deluded :) and lingo you know i'm loud mouthed about how you epic lol. i'd have mentioned your name if it was THAT big of an issue to me.

duuuude, vogar mentioned me *hugs the talkative dwarf* how you doin old lad :)
