I'm afraid I seem to have not seen the next page that your last post created, and thus created my next counter-post over the last hour in the heated nature of the previous argument. Having now seen it after stating those words, I would normally find myself somewhat at a loss for more...except that really, I always have words for pretty much any situation, otherwise I wouldn't have these. That said, I hate to waste a good tirade, and so if you feel like it the one I wrote out prior to this edit is in the hider below, along with my similarly inflammatory response to Vordak in the one under that, which was carefully worded to match yours in spirit. Of course, since we are now in let's end this apology stage, I beg you to please either not view it, or be very careful to view it as past history only, and not the spirit of this new reply.
With regards to the let's end this apology stage, please know that I accept your apology and extend my own in kind. As you have stated your previous words to be unworthy of anything beyond the gutter, I'm deeply sorry for having descended some distance to the same gutter, at which point those words wallowed together in harmonic discord for the last week. Don't worry about any issues either of our argumentative natures may have caused, I am as happy to end an argument peacefully as I am to jump headfirst into one and feel superior to my adversary as I try to conduct my argument in a manner which I find more professional, despite being similarly regrettable afterwards. Also please know that despite the hostile words exchanged on both sides, I happen to highly enjoy arguments and debates of most types, and so enjoyed quite a lot this massive exchange of hostile words. Rarely do I find an argumentative opponent willing to match me in argument length for a long period of time with any arguments that could be construed to have a modigm of sense, thus while the content of this argument is worthy of scorn, there is no need to be worried about my having vilified you in my mind forever, and I hope the same can be said of myself in your mind. Looking cowardly is another thing you need not concern yourself about...as the person who's main character is an assassin-type character who survives by avoiding the match he can't win, running from the enemy he intends to beat, and vanishing whenever the scene looks bad, I can easily say that I bear you no fault either for your challenge, or for the retraction thereof. That said, if you really wanted to have that little contest of skill you challenged me to...at lower stakes...in a friendly manner...then I would be perfectly fine with it... :)
I also feel that one point you made prior deserves being addressed now. You make an excellent point that Cruallassar the character is not really a low-level player, though his use as such stemmed from an insufficient knowledge of what low-level really means. Therefore, I first say straight out that Cruallassar is a mid-level enemy, (though I doubt I will ever have a high-level one) and that due to such, I concede my part of this match, having no right to have participated in it. Though it was fun. And furthermore, your RP ability, despite any insinuations I may have made earlier, is certainly of a high order, (I don't say highest only because I don't know if I know what that looks like, and have seen roleplayers who are probably better than either of us, and not because the sentiment is not present.) regardless of the truth or falsehood of previous statements. I further thank you for your instructive introduction to arena combat, the roleplay crowds I am used to have a policy of asking before assuming, when in this case it is more beneficial to assume, lest their mind's situation has a very different and less favorable turn of events in mind. I am sure this knowledge will be most useful in later RPs.

In conclusion, I will gladly grant you my forgiveness and hope the same can be said of my own apology, and engage in this handshake you invite me to...and I'll even remove the hidden wrist blade beforehand. :)

(Read the hiders below at your own peril, they were posted prior to seeing situation-changing events, and thus the opinions contained therein should not be assumed to reflect the writer's current opinion or viewpoint...though he will probably defend them to the death should they be questioned. They were not deleted because why waste a good tirade? I spent an hour composing that thing!)
[hider]
You sure?
[hider]
I'd really prefer it if you didn't, but if you insist...even though the post it was replying to has been deleted...
[hider]
You know what, I deleted it anyway. Sorry.
[/hider]
[hider]
Yeah, I deleted this one too. Oh well.

But blast I was looking forward to fighting that other shadow-wielder...
