Shattered Kingdoms

I gotta say Kolnok really hated Nico. With a passion. He was part of some good groups that killed him a few times. But OOC wise you are a great player, and I really enjoyed the interactions no matter how few there were. A solid, high-quality character over-all. Great job. Come back with another.

I plan to write out my backstory in a bit but this wine is sooo delicious right now.

Though apparently it was fun to have Nico as an ally (judging from these afterlife posts), from my point of view as Turon he seemed like a real toolbag. He had a habit of simply refusing to defend Ayamao when I attacked it, or just logging off, unless he had enough people to overwhelm my attacking group, and in the same vein he never attacked Menegroth unless there was a very minimal chance of him losing even if we brought every darkie online. As a result, I never really respected the PK ability of Nico as a single unit, since he usually brought overwhelming numbers to ensure the battle went in his favor regardless. I'm also not a fan of grey-aura leaders of the GoA either, but that's not Tirn's fault.

Right before I deleted Turon, he also threatened to spam gank our relic every time we were all offline, because I was draining their coffers (a boring but necessary evil when your enemies camp in their city, since the spawn rate of bounty NPCs in cities is [REDACTED]). Tirn also plays pretty OOC, and (yes, I completely understand the irony in this statement) he can't handle losing. I'm not very surprised that his deletion stats were taken while naked.

Turon, on the other hand, DEFINITELY hated Nico much much more than I did. I don't fault him at all for his diplomatic choices while playing a guardian, though Turon constantly gave him grief about it, and I also think that he got into some pretty good fights after I deleted Turon, usually involving he and Paddah beating the stuffing out of multiple less experienced players.

I guess my point is, I think Nico sucked, but not as bad as Turon thought he sucked. I just wish I had a barbarian with a flail who could have shown him that earlier.

Part of the problem with longevity for me was the fact Nico was built to be a tank and after the age tick, parry suffered so greatly I couldn't rebound. Though as a pure tanks, I lacked the damage to be very threatening one on one. I didn't defend Ayamao solo vs you plus company because unlike you I was forced to be front row and risk hours of enchanting and brewing. Though like you, Edoras, I'm not playing to spend 10-20 hrs to prepare just to get ganked. Your post strikes me more as bitter than anything else, but either way, I had a lot of fun, rebuilt a tribunal, and probably had my most successful character to date.

Extremely well built, on top of his game and a total jerk. Really well done swashbuckler. I LOVED to hate Nico. Your kind of a candy [REDACTED] for not being able to stick with him though, but to each his own. I hope you make another one as good as this.

Qovoq's enimies are dropping like flies! Excellent!

But great character. Enjoyed interacting with him with Ailee a fair bit (even though he bugged the hell out of her ICly, most the time)!

You're smoking rocks if you think that the age tick reduced your ability as a swashbuckler or any melee class. It was all in your head to be honest. You lost a point of str on a char that had access to lighten load. I dunno what to say about the whole thing, honestly.

The character was whatever, I knew him on two characters and one he was a jerk, the other he accused me of stealing vials from him which never happened, and basically told me "Replace them, or i'm killing you, pawning your gear and buying more."

You're a real [REDACTED], you know that Tirn? Of course, that's why I love you. Nico was pretty scary, especially when he ran around with Paddah. To be honest, despite our constant chit-chat over YIM I really never saw much OOC about you. Different perspective or something I guess. Regardless, well done.

Crappy character from a crappy player. On again off again ally, always a jerk, zero player considerations, would log on other characters just to pk his allies he didnt like or couldn't kill with his characters. Always the same character, just a different template.

At least when you make another character, it will be easy to figure out, and I can stay away, far far away.
