To MoQer's One and All, I am Krimel, wizard of the 75th rank. I am a master of magic and fire and ice. The objective facts of my being are recorded here:
http://eq.magelo.com/profile/1232506 I come the MoQ to replace Case. Ironically I know more about the life and deeds of the Sarcastic Bard than I can say about my own personal history. We are both of the same family in that we are denizens of the Land of Norrath. We are virtual beings. The world we live in is a computer simulation. We exist in a state of limbo until our User "logs in" and begins to command us. Case likes to think of this in terms of voodoo Loa, who "ride" their supplicants, animating their flesh. I think that's just a bid over the top. Call it "channeling" if you must but "voodoo" is a bit primitive for my taste. You have all heard from Case, how he wanders from poetry to physics dribbling this and dribbling that. He is sometimes funny and sometime vicious. It is not as though we have heard the last from him I am sure. I believe our User has decided that if he actually has something Bard-like to say that might be either relevant or interesting for a change, Case can speak. But for now I am taking over. So what about me, Krimel? As near as can be determined I was created almost eight years ago. I am told that at one time I was among the Top 10 most powerful wizards in the land. My name itself is an interesting blend of elite speak and pictograph. I am guessing that my original user wanted the name Crime but it was either already taken or not allowed so he put a line on each end and got 1Crimel. The first five years of my life are opaque to me. I was adopted by my current user and know very little about the User that created me or about my deeds during my formative years. This practice of adoption is highly frowned upon in Norrath and so I was for a time something of an outcast. In a sense I remain an outlaw. Initially my current User duel boxed me with Case. This involves two characters on two different computers being played by the same User at the same time. My chief claim to fame is that I can do massive amounts of damage. I specialize in this. Circumstances in Norrath have developed that make my special talents very valuable to our User. Case really should have seen it coming Renaissance men have not been valued since the renaissance. So tragically for him and nice for me, Case has been benched. I come to you are an amnesiac. As I said I know little of my past life. Occasionally someone who probably knew me before will speak to me and ask me if I remember something about the old days and I have to tell them I have no recollection of the past. It is an odd feeling being disenfranchised from your own life. Except for the signature and the lack of poetic impulse most of you won't notice much difference between Case and me except for our signature. Case has long wondered how much of what he says is him and how much our User. I guess he is about to find out. Since I am aware of Case's activities I would like to say this is a pretty good time for Case to take the bench. The past several posts he made more or less summed up his position on the MoQ. He began to discuss the idea of context defining static patterns of value so that static patterns are never really static. I tend to think in terms of resolution rather than context but Case could never figure out how to explain that. He discussed with Ham a possible solution to Chalmer's "hard problem" of consciousness. He thinks it was a clever answer but I suspect it must have been put forth before. Anyway I thought it would be well to introduce myself and explain how it is that some of what I say in style and substance will sound familiar. To Case I say, stay comfy on the bench there, Bud. If you scoot around too much you will get splinters in you ass. I advise you to use your time wisely. Make up a song, write a few poems. That's going to be your only way out of limbo for a while.
