Don't know for how long, but yeah, it's time for me to concentrate more on the things that really matter. I anticipate this will only be temporary but who knows.
I used to hate these kinds of threads, but now that I'd need to summarize EfU in a few sentences, I see it's an impossible task. This server is unique in so many ways, from the dedication of the DMs to all the player-driven plotting I've only managed to glimpse during my stay here. So I'll just get to the point and mention a few people who in particular have been a blast to play with (this is more or less chronologically):
Coldburn -- The Netherlands' best export to date. Krushen, Michael and Gaerkerf were among the best roleplayed characters I've known, and yet amazingly different from each other. Forgive me for all the pain I caused you! :oops: :wink:
Alstromeria, Macizo, Prestonhunt, Thilodius -- Thanks to you guys, being in the Seekers with Dal was a treat. Preston, I would've loved to interact with Zau when it was still possible, but can't have everything!
Elmo -- Rau was one of the first supervillains in EfU. You let Dal have the kind of ending I hoped for his story. Tuo aikavyöhykkeellemme lisää jännitystä!
DruQks -- My prediction came true. You became a DM. I've said it once and I'll say it again: Delgado is badass.
Sherry -- I hope to see Francis in the module some day! RPing with you was always fun, and somehow it seemed to happen pretty often regardless of your character. >_> I join battle for goblin pride.
Pup, Lillithid, Staring_Death, Linelle -- Without you, the Moander plot would never have reached its grand conclusion. You helped change EfU permanently in a rather major way. I send lots of rotting love your way!
Caddies -- You also recently transcended the limits of mere playerhood, but I won't forget what awesome characters Brendan Wilks and Raphael Vero were. It's a shame things turned out the way they did with our little thieves' guild... but it was fun while it lasted! Keep the Aussie zone rockin'.
Chezcaliente, Darkness, Calculor -- The guild would've been nothing without its members. My proverbial hat is off to you.
ScottyB -- I would've wanted to involve you further in the intricacies of the underworld! Varlam had the potential to make an unexpected twist in Kara's story. But again, it was fun while it lasted.
Obedient, Isildan -- Safe to say, RPing with your rogues during the last few days and weeks showered me with some sheer awesomeness. Obedient, you in particular brought out the best in me after our little confrontation: we need more players like you. Much kudos.
Kiaring -- <3
And last but not least...
The EfU DMs -- You've made and keep making all this possible. EfU has some stories that match any novel out there. I sincerely think there are many among you who could become real-life authors or actors. You people are talented.
If I forgot somebody, please don't hold it against me >_>
The End.
(Or IS IT?! Dun dun DUN!)
