I just wanted to give mondo props to Elmo for making my EFU dreams come true in the realm of shady corruption, mayhem, madness, and brutality. Instead of screenshots as I had many I thought I'd share just how much fun I had on this PC.
Jora Colt was made with one thing in mind: To absolutely break everything I had ever done on EFU. There was little self-aggrandizing over the forums, there was no blasting sendings constantly, there was no grand evil scheme to dominate the world, there was no convictions tied to a god.
There was a bitter and broken man who wanted to survive, who wanted to make some coin, and was prepared to ruin anything and everyone in his way to do it.
And in removing all my usual conventions to "Try and build something" I ended up building one of the coolest things I've ever been able to do. A broken mercenary company of outcasts and rebels leaving Ymph before Hammer 23rd.
And in the wake of Hammer we had the game rigged in our favor before any refugees even began showing up. By the end of it all we had gang with multi-factions inside of it, various angles, a number of conflicts, and overall rise to dominate the short lived Quarantine Zone of Old Port.
16,000 gold in our coffers, two faction HQs, a variety of shady contacts, a monopoly on heaps of IC crime, and a sweet abuse of the corrupt system that was the Old Port Guard

It was bittersweet to see Jora meet his end but he died doing what he did best: Abandoning all friends and contacts in a hurried attempt to survive the apocalypse. For the first time since the start of EFU:A I feel I've genuinely won EFU so thanks again to all of you who helped me scheme along the way and rock out.
So long, friend-o. I enjoyed the short time I spent with the cap'n.
Circumstances dictated our that our prominent chars never met. Looked pretty cool from afar, though.
Scum.
But we already knew that. :)
It was a good way to ride out the end days and I'd say his end was fitting!
Finding his body on that bridge was heart-breaking. :(
RIP you glorious bastard.
I loved working with him for the short two weeks I played Sarbor, very great times!
Once more I shall survive and carry on the legacy of a dead RWG faction.
Good times as always man. Never a dull moment with you at the wheel.
Brew poured a bottle of ale on your corpse, dead homey style on his way past.
Very nice job!
