Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guilt Puppy" data-source="post: 1939953" data-attributes="member: 6521">Happy Birthday, Game of Trust!I can remember back when this game was just starting, looking at the pages and pages of posts other games had, wondering how long it would take to catch up... Checking in a few months later, comparing our post count to other games of similar age -- a few posts behind The Heroes of Silleria, at the time... Then, all of a sudden, I'm having to worry about what to title the next chapter, and when I look at the main forum listing I can't seem to find a single game that's even half this old. (I'm still sure there's gotta be a longer-running game out there -- just haven't found it, is all.)Anyway, I'd just like to take a moment to reflect on some memorable moments from the game:- The first big, elvish Fendric-Aerda argument. Cutting and pasting those tracts of text was like unwrapping a nice big candy -- some serious classic in there.- The first fifty or so times Niccolo did something that made absolutely no sense in context. (Massive badger, anyone?) After that it's all a blur.- Niccolo, at third level, pawing through his pockets to see if he'd saved up enough to afford leather armor, yet. To be honest, I miss the days of he and Merrim playing novelty songs in taverns to pay for a night's rest...- The Heironeans... Eleven, plus Hiritus, at a time when there were only three players. And all because of one fairly off-hand comment Nurthk made... Odd times, those were.- Nurthk's paralysis. I'm still impressed with how Festy stayed in the game during this rather prolonged period... and contributed some classic moments, in the process.- The Great Orc Battle! I've run dragons, illithid, and illithi-dragons against other groups, and never seen a fight feel so intense and involved. It's surprisingly rare in D&D combat that mechanics give way to heroics, yet that seemed to be happening every round, from all sides... All culminating in, of course, Nurthk's great act of courage (and Raven's dismay <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). Definitely a classic moment....and then some stuff that's still too recent to reminisce about <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Anyone else have any particular memories they wish to share? Seems like a good way to mark the occasion, to me.</blockquote>
