Shattered Kingdoms

Johanin is still hoarding some of the pieces of the Yed suit, so I'm pretty sure he's not deleted.

Thanks for the backstory, those are my favorite.

Menkh will definitely not have anyone she trusts enough to escort her through the Dreamscape now.

Other thoughts:

It's obvious that playing Turon was frustrating at times, as evidenced by my afterlife post, but I had a blast playing him and enjoyed most interactions. Granted, when Turon died I went off the deep end if the odds were pretty stacked, but even then, Turon often took things a LOT more seriously than I personally did. One of his favorite moves was the whole "let me breed dissent among the ranks of the people who just killed me" move.

As far as Conan/Estobar is concerned, I don't believe that I treated him that much differently after I realized who played him. Turon always viewed him as a coward who talked big but never proved to have much on the battlefield, one of the types who never engaged in combat unless the odds were in his favor, that is. I'll never forget how Estobar and Rinqo ran from Turon and his entourage at Halgeir so that they could pick up Nico who had just logged in.

On that note, however, Turon's viewpoints were definitely -not- my own, which made this character very difficult to play at times. I often talked much meaner ICly than my personality lends me towards, and even then I think I probably came off as a "nice knightlord" at times just because I want the game to be an OOCly enjoyable experience. That said, I did take my frustration a little far in some cabal chats and gtells during some of his last group PvPs.


I am not sad that I deleted Turon: It was his time to go, and as someone already did the math, it's obvious that I need to take a break. (That's not even factoring in alts, which I had at least four of during Turon's lifetime) In addition, playing a character that is mostly focused on PvP and also dedicated to defending a city/nation with his life is really rough, especially when your enemies don't engage you over 75% of the time unless they have at least one more person than you. I don't have the time to dedicate to the gear-gathering and enchanting that arises from that. It also doesn't help that even everyone's alts played against me (Rexnarh and Arek, for example).


I had two possible plot-routes for Turon, though of course anything that presented itself would have been fine: Either he would trample over all his enemies, increasing his ego and pride to the point of calling himself a god, (The "Son of Sargas" as it were, given that he was an orphan) or eventually his ambition would get the better of him, he would declare war with too many people and end up in too deep. As it turns out, the latter was the final result. I went into Turon's character with the knowledge that he would more than likely fail, so I am not frustrated by the fact in the end, his enemies were too much for him.

*brofist*

Not you Hagrel. I beat Hagrel down without even breaking a sweat. It was so totally one-sided.

This was a fantastic character from one of the SK community's strongest contributors. You could always be sure something would be going on when he was around. Great fun to have (briefly) for an ally as Krager and for an off-and-on enemy as Baba.

My favorite thing about Edoras as a player is that he remembers far better than most that there are fellow players behind his character's enemies and acts accordingly. Sure, he lost it in the odd moment (who doesn't) - it's much easier to get frustrated when you're heavily outgunned.

Thank you for sticking with this character as long as you did and for making SK a lively and dynamic place each time Turon was around. The MUD will be that much more drab and empty that he is gone!

The failure thing, you dumbass. Hagrel was made to fail as well.

Now if I wanted to BEAT you, all I had to do was get Estobar to pull three or four guys in and I was golden.

I never even played with Turon and I miss him already. You're character made a huge difference in the mud.

Oh. Right.

Lame...

You always made my boring mornings exciting. Whether it was PK against Rexnarh, Iohana, or Aecyn.

The few fights we had when I played Iohana was great, even though you barely hurt her any of the times the skirmishing with you was exciting.

(By the way, do you have a log of that anywhere? If so, I'd really like to have that please and thanks.)

And at the beginning when I first made Kenn, Turon was one of his few friends and I enjoyed all the exploring through dreamscape we did spending several hours trying to figure all that nightmare realm stuff out.

Thanks for the fun, come back with a new character soon. Go darky!

Turon was the only character I was excited and worried to see on the who list at the same time.

Kudos on creating a lot of action and livening things up.

I can relate to be aggravated by same issues in current SK's gameplay and playing habits, hopefully they get rectified with time.
