      It does remind me back to Ye Olden Times, when games like Firan or The Reach was inundated in every single thread in some fashion on WORA/MSB/etc.

      It was the game dejour, most people had some interaction with it(for good and bad, respectively).

      I think it came from this whole idea that one game or another could completely hijack the topic of a thread with talk about a game that had nothing to do with the topic, even if the situation was tangential to the thread topic at hand.

      Which is exactly what’s going on now.

      Honestly, I’m in it for the joke, because eventually, at some point, there’s going to be the next game that’ll take over the forum’s collective consciousness to extent that someone will make a sign for that game too.

          If you tell Merek to stop being a tool he usually goes “ok sry.” If you tell Cujo to stop being a tool he bans everyone who ever disagreed with him. Merek actually looks better here.

          840+ comments around this game being a dumpster fire in various ways. Good job AOA. lol.

            I can’t imagine what that’s like, especially if you dedicate enough time and emotional energy to a place and build up friendships with people while you’re there…

              #2 is actually surprising to me, because it’s the exact opposite of how I’ve known him on Arx, where he is notoriously paranoid about engaging in any danger. But on Arx, you can’t just remake the same character, so maybe that’s the difference?

              Possibly also because he got a HUUUUUUUUGE negative OOC reaction from the Resistance that he was part of at the time for that last limb-lopping, aside from the humiliation of being shipped back to the Resistance in a box. He had been grudgingly tolerated up to that point. After that, people didn’t hesitate to say that whatever he was doing was completely idiotic.

              Also, Poe killed the commando part of the original Black Squadron (the one that wasn’t just the latest Poe Cliquefest) shortly thereafter, possibly because of the trials of having Merek in it. By that time he was the only full-time member: Everyone else was flight-qualified and in an X-Wing, even if a few moonlighted as commandos if they had the chops for it.

              @Wizz said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

              My #1 memory of Merek on Arx was also my first time ever meeting/playing with him, in a PRP.
              Everyone’s characters had been planning for a good 45 mins in scene on how to proceed, reached an agreement and then turned to go when he just “threw his cloak up” to justify some stealth rolls in the middle of a bright and sunny day (immediately after his pose and without clearing it with the GM, mind) and ran off on his own to go fight some guards, completely off task and jeopardizing the entire plan we had just discussed.

              That sounds like him. Merek can out LeeeeeeeeRoy LeeRoy Jenkins, with similar results. He gives himself to the Dumb Side.

              The two things they have in common are hardheaded stupidity, and that it’s impossible for them to stop being tools. The difference is that Merek might actually try for a while.

                          He was more prosthetic than not, and for a while regularly lost those in combat too. He’s been mostly gone from the game for the last couple of years at least, in spite of the fact that he continues to log on and stay on for weeks at a time.

                            I’m not talking about Arx but also the funniest thing I will always remember about Merek on Arx was that time a character essentially Force threw another, far larger character roughly the distance of a city block, and he tried to arrest her for assault.

                              I’m just surprised to find Merek RPs at all. Mostly all I ever saw of him was possibly posing into a scene, maybe posing once more (very short) then idling for hours at an event.

                                TBF there is a canon example in Darth Maul. But I guess he still had arms so, maybe this is an invalid comparison.

                                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

                                    Yup, just off in a corner, literally dancing with himself, lol.

                                    Kinda wish that was all there was to him and he was just an odd duck, because stories like that are fun. There aren’t enough weirdos in the hobby who don’t also just have to cross the line into creeper territory.

                                        I was getting kind of confused to why it was sounding like Merek was one of the worst examples of someone on games. He’s everywhere, does weird stuff but not even remotely close to what I’ve seen/heard people do. He’s like that crazy uncle that always ends up with a lampshade on his head.

                                          @icanbeyourmuse Most games don’t enable his more malicious shenaniganery, so he’s just a bit of a dipshit doing dipshit things. When he’s enabled and supported? Fuckery.

                                            @Pavel This tracks with what I’ve seen on several games, and I side with Pavel; Merek may be a weirdo, but he is NOT benign.

                                            As an example of a supported Merek, I can remember being part of a scene on Star Wars: Rebirth that he was running, and was not completed at the time. It was to be continued, but never was; apparently staff on the game had a talk with Merek on what was and was not allowed in Player-Run Plots, and he never ran another plot. Which is probably a good thing, as his grasp of the Force and how it worked was… painfully not good, which was pretty obvious throughout the scene. As for his gamemastering skills, they could be compared to ‘Deadlands in Cannibal Country with Larry’ (which is hopefully still available on Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s website, and was once under a link titled ‘Gaming In Hell’).

                                            When not supported, he comes across as a rather dim player who never grasps RP etiquette (such as pose orders) and how to be a sneaky, low-profile-keeping bad guy/Dark Sider, in spite of nearly ten years worth of playing. These may be symptoms of the worse issues that spring up when he IS supported.

                                            Most players who decide to give him a chance, or dozens of chances (they must have Biblical levels of patience), learn the error of their ways sooner or later. Everyone else generally avoids him after a few painful scenes.
