Immortal Thoughts About Immortality

As part of her Triat Mastery Quest, Katrana was required to speak to several immortals about their thoughts on Immortality. Below is the transcript of those conversations.

Tiax:

Tiax: you wanna ask those questions?

Katrana: Yea I do. First of all how do you like being an FLI?

Tiax: In what detail should I answer that question?

Katrana: as much as you like. Not anything illegal tho. 

Tiax: illegal? Sheesh. Boring...

Katrana: hehe

Tiax: no no that's not my answer I like being an fli...

Katrana: cool

Tiax: It gives me more ways to be there for others. How do you say, entertain them in some kind and help them in another way

Katrana: nodnod

Tiax: which is why I do both..

Katrana: cool

Tiax: or try. hehe

Katrana: my next question is what is the hardest or most frustrating part

Tiax: For me or in general?

Katrana: both

Tiax: hehe I don't know how to say this but I'll try anyway

Katrana: Please try

Tiax: I think the hardest part is to keep it fun for yourself while keep it fun for as many people as possible

Katrana: nods

Tiax: and rather getting complaints then rewards - which is why you have to keep your head straight of what is your goal

Katrana: nodnod

Tiax: but then again, I'm hardly a fli... so I might have different issues later

Katrana: You are newer, doesn't make you less of one

Tiax: makes me less experienced - though I hoped you would come to me, when I saw your tmq

Katrana: everyone has to start somewhere, plus half of the wizlist is new. I did come to you, YAY

Tiax: half of the wizlist is half of the playerbase hehe. That's a tough part as well *snicker*. Oh and your laptop not doing its work properly or rather disfunctioning. That's tough too

Katrana: that would stink, hehe

Tiax: and zmud not working properly etc

Katrana: that sucks. I had problems with mapper *laugh*. zmud has been nice besides that, hehe.

Katrana: hmm my next question. I've forgotten all of them. *laugh*. What is one trait all FLI no matter alignment should have

Tiax: I got them on email but it's on the laptop. Hehe. They should be lawful to tfc's rules in actions and spirits

Katrana: nodnod

Tiax: at least that's what I think. Ok whenever you are ready for the next question

Katrana: let me think. If you had one piece of advice to give to someone seeking to be an immortal what would it be

Tiax: one piece? Gasp. Ehm.. I don't know the word for it. Be persistant..stubborn...patient. To have ideals of what a god is, isn't enough. Once you decide you wanna do it, go for it

Katrana: nods

Tiax: But maybe that's not an advice… but it surely helps to shorten the way to immortality. Every rank you get while being immortal gives you more responsibilities and thus more control and rewards

Katrana: nods

Tiax: As ambassador that's minimal so you have to be pretty determined

Katrana: is there anything you think that I should know? Hehe

Tiax: yay! No you know all hehe

Katrana: I know all I see all! hehe

Tiax: I think you had a pretty good example....*grin* Although everyone does it differently. I don't know what you should know..

Katrana: *laugh*

Tiax: Everyone does it their ways and it's prolly best. Like I said, I'm the lawful obedient immortal. I try to do exactly what I think an imm should do

Katrana: Alrighty

Tiax: I thought you had more questions in that email. I have to look it up tomorrow. *grin*

Katrana: yea. Heh. I had more questions than that. I can't remember them all. Hehe. *poke self*

Tiax: *roll*

Katrana: *laugh*
