Katharin didn't think Cicero was necessarily rude - she thought he was a complete bastard who stumped her at every turn. :-)

Thank you for your writing, your role-play and your compliment above. Despite the change of player, Cicero remained amazingly consistent, and that must have been amazingly hard work.

[immerwahr]

Thanks - it was hard work. I think that playing Primus Criamon as planned might have been less work, a frankly staggering statement but there you go. Either way, I would have been surrounded with good players.

Compliments aside, since Elektra I have thought you a top player. Despite the way I write other Tytalus, I believe their Prima is still the essence of cool. *s*

You know he'd love it.
Whipping boy. ;)

[immerwahr]

You must understand Flavia - you did nothing, but you still deserve a good birching. *s*

[kneeshooter]

Seconded ;-)

I think you actually did get across the impression you wanted when you played Cicero's goodbye to Ligeia. Certainly I had the impression of it being as you describe above. I try very hard when playing her never to give away her reactions. My guess is that this may have led you to believe that you did not succeed in putting across what you wanted. But then I don't know what you wanted to say and didn't.

[immerwahr]

You are very kind. As a high level of aim I had hoped to get Ligeia to stay in her post by tweaking her human bits... however it fell to you to decide if those existed or not. This meant Cicero was prepared to threaten Jarane with foulness if it would have made her stay. In my judgement, her mind was made up and so... As ever you were a delight. One day I'll play opposite you when you are allowed to speak... *s*

[nyarbaggytep]

Oh they exist. It's just very hard to get at them. Jarane got closest.

It would be most interesting to actually interact with you at a game on a human level one day.

[immerwahr]

Agreed. However I believed going in that Ligeia might tell Cicero that which she might not tell Jarane... especially if he riled her. I think at one point I considered telling her that Calleva's body was "not fit" to reside at Magvillus, all to get a reaction. Actually, considering events there I'm glad I didn't.

Name the game and I'll be there.

All I can say is repeat what I said before and avoid gushing. The Q were all ace, for example I didn't know Kirstie/Flavia at all but was awfully impressed; however you were, as the make-or-break, just superb. I do owe you the event, and hopefully the next one too.

Every interaction appeared perfect, precise, calculated, relaxed, confident... and almost certainly made me (IC and OC) look good by association.

[immerwahr]

Those are very kind words. I'd never met Kirstie/Flavia before either but thought from the first few words exchanged that she was quality.

You owe me nowt. What I didn't mention above were the many times you made me laugh out loud with your comments, nor the fact that if I needed to release pressure I'd just look for you to bounce around stuff. Fergawdsakes, I had enough trouble remembering what I'd promised Legis in the last conversation... Fair play to Hammad and Carravaggio too, plus Philemon and her wide eyes. Most enjoyable, and many thanks.

[immerwahr]

Ag - that's what I forgot to say.

You make another player/character look good, whether by association or outright design, then that is good roleplaying.

That's a big compliment. Ta.

I have hopes, one day, to occasionally reach the same kind of peaks of quality that you seem to find lying around in the street effortlessly.

[immerwahr]

You are kind - and that fact that you said this about me first before I could say it about you makes me almost willing to pay for that Prague hitman I keep on my payroll...

[pax_draconis]

There's always room for a yellow-eyed dwarf.

[caddyman]

I have to say that in my opinion the only problem with your writing is a perceived lack of confidence, which is the more bizarre for being misplaced.

My only fear is that I shall not live long enough to read your first novel.
