Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 570073" data-attributes="member: 509">Yes, the great evil that is known as Piratecat.* Everything becomes blurry as we are treated with a black-n-white flashback *Before EN World, there was innocence.When I first came here it was known as Eric Noah's. 3e had just been announced. The boards were a pale shadow of what it is today. You couldn't even register your own name. I didn't like D&D at all. It was bulky and constraining. THAC0? Blegh! I played real games, for real roleplayers! WoD, GURPS, Cyberpunk 2020!I was a man!But those primitive boards were so magical for some reason.There was something that kept me going back.People calling themselves strange names like RuinExplorer and Muaddib kept arguing about Rangers and how evil the new edition of D&D was.Evil version of D&D? I was hooked. I had to know more. I lurked in the shadows, ever taking in every little detail about this new 'Evil' game.The board changed, new software with gigantic index pages that took forever to load.But still I lusted.This lust was finally satisfied by Piratecat when he started his infamous Story Hour. Others followed. I was hooked. Although I was never really able to get a Story Hour of my own in action, I feasted on the imaginations of the other EN Worlders.I started my own site just to feel like I was in some control over my addiction. I was fooling myself.Then, a miracle occurred. I don't remember which edition of the board this took place in, but I stopped posting. The time I spent lurking slowly became shorter and shorter. I was gaining freedom over my demons. There were days that I even didn't turn on the computer.But Piratecat sensed this.He flew over the Atlantic Ocean and hunted me down. Charmed me and introduced me to his stunning and funny wife. He paid for my nachos and we shared a bowl of chicken wings.I had to go back. I had to post.And now, for the last couple of months I have been battling technical difficulties. Only been able to access the internet and the board through library computers and at friends' homes I have been without the boards. Again, I thought I was free.Then the first thing I did when internet access was restored was to type <a href="http://www.enworld.org" target="_blank">www.enworld.org</a> into the address bar.So yes, I blame Piratecat.</blockquote>
