There is a very good, long explaination for why I am leaving, why I have chosen to leave, however it isn't really important and it's very late at night and I honestly don't give half a shit if you really care or not. The reason I am leaving in short form, post explaination I will give you a list of eq that is gone, and will not be reimbursed as last of what I know. Anyway, I would just like to inform the players of SlothMUD III that if you are to quit! while having any _elite_ flag eq on your character person, it will be not personal (apparently). This is the explaintion I was given by Seda, earlier this morning. If she is wrong, whomever should explain this to her. Anyway, Gumbi having quit! while wearing a new _elite_ flagged cloak == his eq disappearing. This is the explaination of the immortal staff which I accept. Here now is the list of the items which I remember having been lost. There are 60 items or more that were important that are gone. Now I won't play because a pfile restore is not in the cards, so there's no way I'm going through getting these things back in order. I'm done, forget this place... it is useless enough. I must tell you I really did enjoy (somewhat) the company of (most) of you players. I played since 2001 when I made Polk, it took a long time to get all that eq together and things in correct order. I've been left for nothing here and I'm through. Here is a short summary list of the items that've become missing and a good enough explaination of why I won't play. I can, but I won't because of this list....
3 restrings

2 d-bracer (1mr 1dam) ..spectral glow!!
1 scarab destruction (1str 1dam .3ac) whittling wood
helm radiance, helm old, frozen lilies, tooled brace, spiked ring, ring thieves, jade ring, shield dream weaver, godly shield light, ruddy scale shield, glass eye, sable cloak, elvish brace, 2 vengeful spirit bracer, 2 ring ancient evil, sharpened blade ebony darkness +3 dam, Cloak Forgotten Tales, jovian armaments, sleeves desert wind, filthy doll, symbol obsidian knight, white-bag, thieves-pouch, adamantine gloves, sphere prophets, .... that's around half.
Take care unless someone decides to take another look at the log-type file of whether or not _elite_ eq disappears when a character quit! (s) or if it did not disappear and someone took my password and junked my eq from the character. I sort of remember after having quit! my char, I got back into my vault, voided after picking everything up. I seem to remember picking up the Cloak Forgotten Tales which was new to me and had all of these items in it. I voided without using 'wear all' ...so much for it. I'll talk to whomever later. If someone needs to talk to me and it is important you might have my e-mail address. If you don't... I think Medios said it best when he gave his cell number on here for that party in Chicago a few summers ago. If you've got my e-mail and don't need to talk to me, send me mail and get popped in the eye. Cya later.
