Rak'mal's Death

[Rakmal]

Hi!

Right, so... Rak'mal Ironskull died tonight. I decided to kill him off for two reasons:

1) On the 24th of June, I'll be going into military school, the Intelligence branch of the Norwegian Defense Force (Forsvarets etterretningshøgskole). After that, if I get in, it's unlikely that I'll be back for as long as three years. Even if I don't get in, I have bootcamp at the end of the summer, which lasts a year.
2) I've been planning to make a Paladin knight order guild on the Alliance with some old friends from my early days of RP. We'll probably found it this week or the next. I'll become an officer in that guild, so that's going to suck up a lot of time.

I regret this already. I'm stupid. Like Rak, I'm stupid. But like Rak, the option of going on a mindquest or a journey around the world is simply too convenient. Rak's character would never leave the tribe for long, not even to search for his destiny. Rak is a grunt through and through, so a vision would probably scare him more than lead him, and the thought of just leaving to see the world doesn't really appeal to someone who guarded the streets of Orgrimmar for twenty years. So those weren't really options for excuses that could be used to describe Rak's absence. He isn't one for magic, either, so getting ported away by a hand from a portal isn't an option either. He was a beefcake made of 100% beef, and beef doesn't move much, unless it moves to the next life.

To summarise, I am possibly one of the stupidest people in the world for killing off my orc in this amazing, fantastic, indescribably incredible guild. The fact that I still have a whole month before my entrance exam makes it even worse. Pretty sure I'll hate myself for this, but my illogical and retarded brain has concluded that now that the opportunity to kill Rak presented itself, it was the most logical reason for an extended absence. I know, weird that I'm talking about logic, right?

So yeah. Don't miss his funeral on Thursday. I know I'll be bawling like I did at the end of Saving Private Ryan.

Sincerely,
Tarjei, Rak'mal Ironskull.

Such sads, although can understand your reasons.

Was a brief honour to know you and RP with you, and tonight was a beautiful if emotional traumatic event. I'm sat here all meh having known you three days. i'm sure anyone who knew you longer is in bits.

Take care, enjoy the Paladin side of things. Go easy, mourn Rakmal, we shall give him the pyre to end all pyres.

Ah Jaysus Rak, the Nag'Ogar club loses a great character

Good luck in your future endeavours bud, it's been fun RPing with you while you've been with the guild.

[Bamm]

Good luck dude hope it works out for you it was very fun to RP with you. Who knows you might be tempted to be a red blade again!

[Kozgugore]

Didn't get to see a great deal of your amazing character in person due to my own prolonged absence, but I do know for certain it'll be a great loss to lose both him as well as yourself. I've enjoyed what banter I've seen in-game, so I certainly am still sad to see you go. Nonetheless, I wish you lots of luck on your ambitious future endeavour. If you ever do get the chance to pop on by, you would be most welcome!

...THIS IS WHY I CANT GO AWAY! Everyone always dies ;_; Y u do dis? Like seriously though. I'm gonna miss you, especially your events and Rak'mals silliness. Rashka's gonna be sadfaced. :< I doubt I can be there for the funeral, I'm not home. But either way, good luck :c

[Srelok]

Yeah, was a little devestating.
Seriously though, sounds like a good challenge, and I wish you all the luck with it.

[Nosh'marak]

Been a short but merry ride, Rak
You're a good guy, and I wish you the best of luck for the future 

[Gashuk]

Always a shame to see someone go, especially someone who has grown to be a part of the furniture within our merry group!

Unfortunately I'm away so I will not be able to attend your last rites, but I hope to see you around nonetheless! Good luck with the future and thank you for your contributions, Paladins server-wide have my envy.

[Azolg]

Goodbye and good-luck, my friend.
