Lord Karsus 01-16-07, 11:19 PM	-Well, Karsus the Mad is leaving. There are a couple of reasons why (and all are mostly related), but he's made up his mind. Hopefully, he will come back in the future, after giving things a break, but who knows... -So, I just wanted to share that with everyone, as an elder member of the boards will no longer be frequenting, and gracing us with his vast knowledge of all things Realmsian. :weep:
Dark Wizard 01-16-07, 11:33 PM	This is sad news. I hope he makes a quick return to reunite at this forum with his other third of the still nebulous and incomplete archwizard triumvirate. Until then, I will miss his (justified) mythic wizardly hubris.
The ShapeLess One 01-16-07, 11:54 PM	Well goodbye and happy gaming. I hope too see some more input from you in the future.
theartistformerlyknownas 01-17-07, 12:49 AM	Then there were two...
Mecha_Pope 01-17-07, 01:28 AM	Would that I could weep for thee, alas, for you have already carved out mine eyes, pitty poor me.
Zevox 01-17-07, 01:49 AM	A pity. He'll surely be missed - its always nice to see intelligent contributors around here, and he was definitely a big one. That, and the discussions you two Karsi had with each other have always been pretty priceless entertainment ;) . Hopefully we'll see him around again some day, but if not, its great that he graced us with his presence for a while at least. Zevox
Link182 01-17-07, 03:16 AM	Best of luck Karsus The Mad
Green Elven Vampire 01-17-07, 03:45 AM	Who's Karsus the Glad? Or was it Mad? He'll be back... they always are!
BrennonGoldeye 01-17-07, 08:01 AM	:weep: Where am I gonna get my component recipes from now?:weep: Come back soon KtM!:D
selunatic2397 01-17-07, 11:56 AM	Bye Karsus The Mad! Thing will be boring without you...come back soon! :D
JaiaDrottsingr 01-17-07, 01:40 PM	I get off class early for *this*? The fight is now One-ta-One? No other opposition?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Seriously though, despite being one third of my greatest enemy, he truly did offer wonderful insights and never was one of the ones that shunted aside very obvious displays of n00bity, or even stupid questions. Besides the odd liking in food, I almost respected him. A Black Rose for a Battle well-fought. Goodbye, my Insane/Evil aquaintance. And may the living be dead in your wake#. Footnote #= Title and chorus of a certain Flogging Molly song. Also my personal means of farewell. Somathetimes.
JaiaDrottsingr 01-17-07, 01:42 PM	:weep: Where am I gonna get my component recipes from now?:weep: Please, don't bring that back now. I am still looking for that piece of my soul that was Banished after the Karsi drank several raw gallons of Elf Essence.
BrianCritchley 01-17-07, 02:43 PM	well always sucks to see a long time poster leave :( hopefully KTM will be back with fresh insight and intresting posts later down the road.
Evil-fuma 01-17-07, 02:50 PM	and so another realms scholar leaves this forum behind.
MaskedOne 01-17-07, 07:10 PM	The heck, bloody hells he was fun to have around and had a solid base in realmslore. Good luck to him and hopefully he'll be back. Jaia if your conflicts with sole remaining confirmed third of the Momentary One complicates my schemes then you'll be dodging significant ports of Toril's geography starting with Shade and moving on to other items of interest.:) Just thought you should know.
Borris 01-17-07, 08:23 PM	It's always sad when an old-timer Forgotten Realms leaves the community, but I guess Karsus the Mad has his own good reasons. Until then, the FR forums will survive. We're all a little more sages thanks to Karsus the Mage, and there's no reason to stop knowing the Realms better. We better be ready, though. You never know when the Momentary God will be back.
JaiaDrottsingr 01-17-07, 10:36 PM	The heck, bloody hells he was fun to have around and had a solid base in realmslore. Good luck to him and hopefully he'll be back. Jaia if your conflicts with sole remaining confirmed third of the Momentary One complicates my schemes then you'll be dodging significant ports of Toril's geography starting with Shade and moving on to other items of interest.:) Just thought you should know. Give me the maximum flaming/arguing amount per week, then, please.
Kid SixXx 01-18-07, 07:58 AM	Ack! KTM was a good man. He was always the voice of reason whenever Kuje31 & I would get into our weekly slugfest when I used to game in the FR setting. All forums are poorer for his departure. I hope he returns after getting some time away to sharpen the creative axe.
MarkusTay63 01-18-07, 09:28 AM	I just read a post of his... that was fast. :D Everyone needs a break every once in awhile, I'm only here because WoW finally got boring. ;) :rofl: And I have NO interest in the 'just-released' expansion BTW. Making more of something doesn't neccesarily make for a better game. Of course, we can apply that to some of the things around here (Feats, PrCs, FORMATS, etc...) Anyway, sorry to see you go KtM, welcome back KtM! :D (sort of like "The King is dead, long live the King!)
DreamStalker 01-18-07, 12:26 PM	What if it is a clone of a clone!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry to see you go and welcome bacK!
Lord Karsus 01-18-07, 06:04 PM	What if it is a clone of a clone!?!?!?! -Me and KtM have had to deal with too many of those...I'll miss having him around to help me catalogue our clones. Last time I counted, we were up to ten or eleven...:weep:
DreamStalker 01-19-07, 05:48 PM	You need to develop some form of 'burn clone' spell that sacrifices a clone in exchange for a short boost in power. Might as well put those little guys to use.
Steelwind 01-19-07, 06:00 PM	Why is it the good ones who always go. First Kuje leaves ending his seemingly endless knowledge and insight into our beloved campaign setting, now another skilled sage has chosen to depart. Truely a sad day.
DreamStalker 01-19-07, 08:03 PM	The reason is because we actually notice the good ones leaving. Everyone eventually leaves.
BrennonGoldeye 01-21-07, 02:59 PM	The reason is because we actually notice the good ones leaving. Everyone eventually leaves. Frikin Kelemvor.....:ahem:
Bocklin 01-22-07, 05:04 AM	-Me and KtM have had to deal with too many of those...I'll miss having him around to help me catalogue our clones. Last time I counted, we were up to ten or eleven...:weep: How do we know that you are not both clones of each other?
Lord Karsus 01-22-07, 06:52 PM	How do we know that you are not both clones of each other? -'Cause we're not. We were the first of the Karsus' to appear, thus we are the originals. All of the others have arrived after we were already well established.
BrennonGoldeye 01-22-07, 08:26 PM	Besides, LK looks much better in his robes.:emp:
MerrikCale 01-22-07, 08:56 PM	Besides, LK looks much better in his robes.:emp: hmmmm....it appears the Lord Karsus has an admirer.... or perhaps an apprentice......
Alediran 01-23-07, 03:30 PM	It's a kick in the lower zones to lose a source of lore in the forums.
MaskedOne 01-23-07, 07:35 PM	-'Cause we're not. We were the first of the Karsus' to appear, thus we are the originals. All of the others have arrived after we were already well established. Shrug, that and you can match or beat (occasionally with annoying side effects) my Art which your clones have never demonstrated the ability to do.:)
BrennonGoldeye 01-23-07, 10:21 PM	hmmmm....it appears the Lord Karsus has an admirer.... or perhaps an apprentice...... Apprentice...I would be honored if I wasn't as old as I am, ah heck, I would still be honored. Just think of me as a 1st edition Pre-Bang ally.:elf:
Mad Mage 01-24-07, 09:40 PM	Well, KtM just posted in this thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=776312), so... what does that mean now? :confused:
BrennonGoldeye 01-24-07, 10:18 PM	Hmm, I would take it as a slight reprieve. Don't get too upity and spoil it for the rest of us.;)
BrennonGoldeye 01-24-07, 10:25 PM	:tissue:
ZolDarklock 01-25-07, 12:36 AM	Hate To Be The Bearer Of Bad News, But... He still hasn't left yet :weep:
Karsus the Mad 02-03-07, 04:14 PM	Hate To Be The Bearer Of Bad News, But... He still hasn't left yet :weep: I have even more "bad news". I hath returned, despite not knowing I was gone. The troubles of a Tripartate Soul.....one can never keep track of the rest....
Lord Karsus 02-03-07, 11:20 PM	I have even more "bad news". I hath returned, despite not knowing I was gone. The troubles of a Tripartate Soul.....one can never keep track of the rest.... -I feel 1/3 closer towards being complete once more! :D
Karsus the Mad 02-04-07, 03:09 AM	Don't get too comfy:) I have a little more free time after my trip from Sweden.
Lord Karsus 02-04-07, 04:33 PM	Don't get too comfy:) I have a little more free time after my trip from Sweden. -Well, let me be brief, then. Another clone has popped up, and one has popped up claiming to be our son. Since I don't remember having any children, I believe it is the offspring of one of our clones. I told you we should have made 'em sterile...;)
MaskedOne 02-04-07, 09:00 PM	You also should've put contingent mindfire behind those blasted mini-mythals to handle those dense enough to try and create clones or manage other alternate future generations but hey I just break mantles and fry wannabe powers, no one ever asks my opinion about their clone creation.
DreamStalker 02-04-07, 09:27 PM	At this point I think there must be a mythal somewhere that spawns out a Karsus clone every month or so. Now, where is it hidden and who was silly enough to put it up?
MaskedOne 02-04-07, 09:42 PM	You forgot a few questions? Like what to put on the tombstone, whether the guilty prefer catching solid mountains or liquid ones, what part of their mantle they want to eat first, you know the important questions for aspirant young archwizards.
DreamStalker 02-04-07, 09:45 PM	Well, these are not necessarily clones with full knowledge of the Karsus' Avatar spell. Probably more of a practical joke thing.
MaskedOne 02-04-07, 09:56 PM	Hopefully not, that would imply knowledge and power roughly equivalent to the mortal original which means going all out risks Toril and should be avoided. It doesn't negate the other important questions associated with being a clone of mightiest rock to grace the geography of Toril.
DreamStalker 02-04-07, 10:06 PM	Haha. that would be humorous if occassionally the clones it spit out were rocks.
Lord Karsus 02-04-07, 11:38 PM	-If they started out petrified, it'd be a lot easier for all of us...
MaskedOne 02-04-07, 11:59 PM	And Telamont can learn the words to "statues falling on the roof" or should that wait till later?
Lord Karsus 02-05-07, 12:05 AM	-Ugh. I wish he'd become petrified, too. :rolleyes:
MarkusTay63 02-05-07, 12:40 AM	At this point I think there must be a mythal somewhere that spawns out a Karsus clone every month or so. Now, where is it hidden and who was silly enough to put it up?Actually, I think its a Deepspawn making them. After all, they make monsters..... :D
ClobberinTime 02-05-07, 03:23 PM	He probably got bored with the endless junior high school theatrics and dribble like that in this very thread and moved on. Next time someone asks a realmslore question you might want to think about whether or not your post is 1, relevant, and 2, about the realms before you post. There is a seperate forum for the sort of thing you all are doing here, and most of you should start using it instead of cluttering up the FR boards.
BrennonGoldeye 02-07-07, 05:15 PM	Golly Ben. Need some juice? Sue, Johny and I will leave you alone for awhile. We know you need your cyberspace...;)
Cthulhu 02-10-07, 12:38 PM	Too bad about Karsus the Mad. I found his posts enjoyable. Perhaps when the stars are right he will return. I know I will.
MaskedOne 02-11-07, 02:35 AM	Too bad about Karsus the Mad. I found his posts enjoyable. Perhaps when the stars are right he will return. I know I will. He decided against disappearing on us.
