How did nine of you die? We kill him with six sometimes. The hardest part was getting Silas and Sothantos to stop arguing about whether it would be possible or not.
Having fun instead of actually planning anything, we've killed him with 3 before. Killing him isn't difficult, but having fun was worth the deaths.
Yeah, we've killed current incarnation Yudhi with 3. It takes some strategy and everyone knowing what they're doing. Only brought it up because of the 'oh you guys suck we did it 6 once'. Not getting more into detail here, suffice to say there was no actual effort being put towards killing things last night.

The issue with two is that wyverns can mess up your strategy really badly. Yudhi instant tracks across the island so the distance doesn't do much. Three people gives you enough rooms to properly manage everything that's happening without any unfortunate wyvern occurances.
It might be possible with two, but I would assume a lot of luck would be involved.

Tanaros tells you, "Listen man, I'm not trying to go too far but I'll throw an issue next time. Been dormant for 100 years and I'm just trying to hunt."
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
Hahah, Tanaros and I go way back to about ten years ago I think. we went to high school together and would drink alchohol and play completely drunk in his basement till the wee hours of the night.
He actually called me a few weeks ago saying he had a dream that he got dragon in Achaea, which was strange as he had not played in well over 3.5 years. I said "Well then, maybe it's time you get your butt back into achaea."
Thing is, I'm sure he's frustrated by dying, but probly no more than all the other changes that plagued him. He complained heavily about the free system I gave him, because the Qashar's was so nice (appurently). Talking with him though, and make him understand that forgiveness is a hard thing to come by, especially the unsavoury types like the Qashar. Now that he's dropped his title and is finally doing something productive with his time, perhaps the achaeans he tormented will forgive him. Achaea is not a place that forgets or forgives easily and in all honesty, he should be happy he is remembered as a part of Achaea's history.
@tesha, you must not have been on the receiving side of the Qashar. He's just getting what he had coming. Now everyone go give Tanaros a big "Welcome back" gank and tell him Aepas says Hi!
@Aepas I agree with people not forgetting things, and I would not want it any other way. Actions do have consequences. However, if someone has just come back after a 3 year break, I think there are more interesting possibilities of saying "I have not forgotten" other than tracking them down and ganking them, then whatever led to him threatening to issue, and on top of it posting it all on the forums afterwards. That makes it feel more like an OOC vendetta than a roleplaying one, which sort of skews any credibility the attacks might have in the first place.

I never did get why people get so butthurt over a death. I tend to just shrug and start surfing the web (whee old phrase) while I wait for @Thoth to get my reviving over with (seriously man -hurry up-, we know you're gonna pop us back!). Pride really is a nasty thing.
Also Tanaros should be thankful the whole Qashar affair was all in Achaea. At the least Achaea allows that kind of mobility in dirty playing/RP, other IRE tend to just shrub or boot the person.
