It's been a while since the last Hiver Hall of Fame post, so here goes:
Crothian (Saturday, 12/06/03) The Iconic Poster and Hiveminder since before we had the term. Quote: "Postcount means nothing." My reply: "That's easy to say when you have 13,000 of them..." Always ready to help out with rules querys, talk about anything, enjoy Tom Lehrer and be excited by his local college American Football team. UPDATE: Well, he's still the top poster at ENWorld, and now also at Randomlingshouse, despite mine and Sniktch's best efforts. Still an incredibly pleasant fellow, still denies his huge volume of posts means anything, he's also now a true Hivemind Archiver, having saved all the Hivemind threads from ENWorld when they were deleted.
Envel (Sunday, 12/07/03) Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men! Envel can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as a mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way!
Blackshirt5 (Monday, 12/08/03) Born on September 11th, 18 years before Al-Qaeda screwed up that day forever, Andrew Smith, aka Blackshirt, is an insomniac fantasy writer who enjoys getting dressed at 1:30 am and taking walks through his neighborhood when it's 40 degrees out in his black wool trenchcoat. His favorite color is black (what else?), and he thinks bulldogs are adorable and a good way to meet women. His favorite movie is a tossup between Rudy, The Goonies, or the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Barsoomcore (Tuesday, 12/09/03) I am complete in and of myself. I am Barsoomcore. I am an Undead Whore. I live vicariously. I fend off strangers. I play the trombone sensuously. I often feel in need of peanuts. I take everything too seriously. I am full of loving kindness. I possess the final key. I purchased a vowel. I heard the laughter but thought it was crows. I reject your position. I hold fast. I honour their sacrifice. I expect nothing less. I give without thought of exchange. I gain more than I seem. I am the ruler of all I can see.
Johnselmek (Wednesday, 12/10/03) Former teen idol and heartbreaker to millions of teenage girls, johnselmek was the lead singer in a family band popular during the early 1970’s. Johnselmek toured the Pacific southwestern states in a multi-colored school bus, performing in smaller venues alongside his mother Shirley, sisters Laurie and Tracy, and brothers Danny and Chris. Several albums and other merchandise were sold, as well as a successful television program based upon the band.
Kaiyosama (Thursday, 12/11/03) Former High Priest of the Wombat Goddess, and all round Yet Another Nice Guy. Also only the 5th person on randomlingshouse to rack up 1000 posts plus. We're keeping an eye on him, oh yes.
Aggemam (Friday, 12/12/03) Our Danish friend, bringing further joy to our plan for International Assimilation. UPDATE: Our Danish royalist and Newcastle United fan is a much more well known person these days. Glad to have him around, he brings even more fun and games to the collective nonsense of our lives.
SilverMoon (Saturday, 12/13/03) and Kriskrafts (Sunday, 12/14/03) These two wonderful people have come over from ENWorld and felt straight at home. They manage, despite their respective families best efforts, to be two of the most well balanced, nicest people I've ever come across online!
