You know, just because I feel like it
I remember, back in the day . . . When Wizzles wasn't a bunch of annoying newbs . . . Oh wait, I was one of them, so was Pan, mwahahahahaha! *gets out his cane, knocks out a few back cricks, and sits down.* Power-gaming wasn't about as much, and we still used 2E on site . . . Half the people that have posted here I remeber as newbies, like madam Dragona. Oh yes, I remember you as a newbie, and that Bhryn girl. And I remember the newbie Kirion, and Ceres, oh, and um, Dearah, I remember her from her newbie days. Damn . . . I am old . . . um . . . Damn Alsheimers . . . I remember the 'Deemer/Defenders war, I even fought in it. And the Viyach Lemarg, all the comings of them . . . SHoulda died more than a couple times, but back then, a creative exit wasn't power-gaming, it was a blink from the opponant and a ((Wow, I didn't think to cover that, great technique.)) in a PM, or the ((Oh wow, wish I had thought of that, that was nice man.)) Bloody hell I remeber when you could annoy good Ol' Zug-Bug (Zugran). And can't forget T-Rex (Rexx) and Reese-Peices (Reesa), Khelos and Bail-O-Hay (Bailey). I even Remember Adele's first day as ISRP Co-Lead, and the day she became ISRP sole-lead.
I remember when that now WizO/Patron love item thingy came into play. I even remember when the WizO's didn't PM you like you have no bloody clue what the CoC says. I remember when it was OOC comments not pertaining to the Active RP was all you had to take to PM. Hell, I remember Typo Daemons and Boot Devils, along with Lag Fiends, not these "I'm too lazy to type, TYpo'ri and Bootezu'. I remember when FeeGee wasn't in the Emporium all day, and the Tavern was a closed room until Ten. I remember the Sonic Attack applying to a gnat, and the Arena not attachign to the Emporium. I remember when you didn't need a seperate SN for the boards, and could access and post with your Chatname, and vice-versa. I remember the Soaring Falcons and Aly's Grove, I even had a character wed at that same Grove. I remember New Africa, PrimaryCareNet, and OliverCreatWeb. I remember the years of RealmCities as well.
I remember the by-gone ages, of fun and frolick, of players with characters that had pasts, and were reasonable. Not of two year olds playing twenty-year old characters with more money than any character coudl handle. I did the math one one character throwing abotu cash one day. In the period of an hour he placed down over four tons (SI not Metric) in Platnium peices. I have been attacked but recently by some freak, that doesn't have a mage class, but can launch seven fireballs in four seconds, without verbal, somantic or material componants.
I remember the names of the wonderful people that helped me learn my way, when the Experianced Players woudl help the newbies. I will even name them for you. Melgar Uth'Marin, Serina Uth'Marin, Alyysssa, Antimus, Tundra, err, tUNDRA . . . um TuNdRa . . . kidding mate, tundra (NO CAPS!), Drio Maxia (Miss ya man,) XShadow and Ginger Mayne in all her forms, Ulran Silverhair.
I remember when the Adepts page first went up, and when they came by the waves. I remember the Alliance in it's first form. I even remember when Malicki was a good guy, and people didn't complain about tech in the emporium. I remember . . . um . . . I ran out of things to remember . . . NYAH . . .
I remember more than I rightfully should, no matter how much I have forgotten. I still remember the good days. And forever more I shall.
