Old PernMUSH - I remember Kristine(?) in yellow footy jammies in Ruatha Hold back before they had to close it being always good for a lot of laughs. Ofira, Selchin, and Selandra being names to this day I miss.
Loads and loads of old friends I have since lost all track of from there.
I was Kindre! Back when Ruatha and Benden were things and we had to move to Telgar. I’m actually FB friends with a handful of old NCers like Jehrina and Nimiriel and others whose NC names I forget. I miss the bovine ppl! To moo, bovine
I remember Ofira and Selandra I thiiiink. NC friends drug me to firan in like 2001 and I think I totally stopped playing in 2002. Good times though omg.See what happens when @KarmaBum summons my dino bones - I get all excited and can’t remember 1/10th of the stuff I was excited about haha.

Fear and Loathing. It was the game I played after an almost 10 year hiatus from the hobby so it’s something I mostly remember fondly, but maybe I just miss my character I played there.
I do actually miss Haunted Memories too, despite all its issues.

Right? I’m trying to remember all my friends from there. Always planned on heading up to High Reaches as I loved the people you had there at that time. Met a bunch of the High Reaches crowd at DragonCon 99 too. As to FB, PernMUSH Refugees I’m assuming?
Remember trying to get some WoD VtM stuff to Shasta from SouCon, but never did manage to pull it off.

@SpaceKhomeini Was Metro the game where if you apped a Mage, you needed to provide not just a backstory but dates for every event in it?
Depends which walking personality disorder masquerading as a staffer (again, except for Iago) was currently in charge. But some of them were like this.
-
I thought I wrote mine but apparently not.
CoMUX - Yeah it had some weird admin issues but this is where I met @blu and @Roadspike and a bunch of other great players. It was the first time being a part of larger plots in a meaningful way, even as a brand new player on the game. I didn’t app in knowing anyone but found plenty of people willing to open up and include me, even playing an obscure kind of whacky not-so-hero FC. (I like to think I did my part in redeeming Captain Boomerang Jr.)
Gray Harbor - I was there around the beginning and it was such an amazing journey.
Spirit Lake - Still too soon, still not over it.
-
Lovecraft County - Took Lovecraft’s world, threw out all the racism, and made something that got both that investigation and horror vibe in. Stuttered along with a lack of players, staff, and activity but when it got going? It got good. Being a completely normal human in a world where a monster could legit 1 shot you made for some very nervous scenes.

@Whisky I played a bit of LC and a lot of another Skotos game, Castle Marrach. Always neat to run across someone else from that little corner of the hobby.
-
@shit-piss-love - Oh shoot, same here. Marrach was my mainstay for a lot of years with LC on the side. I’ll admit I even gave Ironclaw County a go. Don’t shame me

It’s cool I played a lot of Grendel the first month or two.
When did you play Marrach?
-
@shit-piss-love - Roughly 2005 - 2019 actively. A bit until 2022 by ending the character’s story with dramatics. Have kept in touch with a few of the players and the coder.

Huh we might have crossed paths. I played Duraze, the first Inquisitor-Major.

We might have just about. If you were around when Xanadorian was? For sure a little bit! I played Anton, the first Royal Tailor.

Anton definitely sounds familiar but I think we ran in different circles. By then I was sort of just reactivating every couple years for a few months to do a cameo, and mostly circulated with a few people I knew from the game’s beta period and first couple years.
I loved that game’s setting, the format of being bottled together in the castle, and the deep focus on courtly life and virtues. Really nothing else like it.
-
@YetiBeard I used to play at CoMUX. Right after the game formed from HeroMUX’ ashes.
-
I miss Serenity MUSH from before TPO Frost passed away. It was so amazing in its Hayday, for me anyway.
-
@shit-piss-love - Yeah I think we might have just floated around each other back when Geist was head staffer. Found them an excellent storyteller, world builder and very fair towards players - if I recall right IRL they still work in the tabletop industry as a Professsor of it somewhere.
But yeah, really awesome setting. Called itself a MUD, barely was that with the intrigue focus and courtly life.

I have to pour out a couple of drinks here, so here we go.
Pacific Rim Mu* - Amazing concept base, great build off the established world. Great storyteller.
X-Factor Mu - Goddamn fun time. Met some good friends there.
-
@Gashlycrumb Aw Gash. We had some good times there. hat tip, Viggo.

We did! I think I broke the record for PC alts I made on that game, lollllllllllllllllll.
I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
I’ll get onto it when I give a shit -
