That's okay. I kinda figured that, since you were in mid-sentence when you disappeared. "Hold on a second. I gotta do some-" and blip, you were gone.

I got to thinking about my posts after realizing it was the anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings...

Just for everybody's info, I don't hate people, I don't own any knives (except kitchen knives) or guns, or any other weapons.

I just like how some games allow me to play out a fantasy role that I wouldn't normally be able to, and I just really think I could be a great military sniper, NSA agent or something like that...if only I agreed with government policy, thought murder was okay by me, was buff and didn't need glasses.

In real life, I'm just an artist who works in charcoal and paper, and I put those skills to use to draw fairly decent portraits.

Try the forsworn RP guild in Sarlona, as well as dedicated teams. They're both really good about role playing and taking quests slow/without spoilers, and both have some great people in them.

For what it's worth, I used to really like to also take it very slow, exploring without someone saying 'oh and there are 3 monsters coming up that will ambush us ahead...'. However, I also started to enjoy the zerging. So now I like both, which is very weird, heh.

Well, yeah - that's why I created Sixtyfive Musclecar. Even though he's just a non-serious play-around character, I like to swing at a mob of kobolds with my greataxe and see them go down in two or three swings. Also, crate-bashing is less time-consuming. He's kinda slow and clumsy though, and zerging is difficult, especially on platforms and narrow ledges.

Well, here's a hearty thank you to Thalion/Threft and Haarma for a fun time in the Cerulean Hills last night. Got some sneaking in, and a little melee, without getting all zergity. Even had fun with the role-playing -- Thalion's really into it. I'm in it in spirit and action, but when it comes to dialogue, I wind up making the kind of comments Spiderman would make, instead of Frodo Baggins. Not rushed at all, and every next move was discussed before taking place, without anyone running amok.

Thanks again guys, for a good time had by all.

I'd like to join your guild, too, if that's okay. Otherwise, perhaps Roese and I could accept some other newbies you may not have room for into our fold, if he agrees. I'm sure somehow it'll work itself out.

/bows deeply to Threft and Haarma

Our sneaky lil comrade was quite adept at getting surprise attacks!

It was a pleasure adventuring with you, and I look forward to our paths crossing again.
There were of course a few uncontrolled zergs from the Barbarian amoungst us.
