Ah the memories....the newbish memories. God I can't believe I was that bad back then. Then again back then I feared you with a pasion just as much as I feared Foe Hammer (even had good ol Foe trying to kill me in my first three months).

Well us old timers need to stick together. Hell recently AO left and I got controll of his nation. It realy sucks when you lose a fellow '03 nation that you've interated with so much as you made your name on the boards (ironicly I'm a unknown with most of the boards).

(ironicly I'm a unknown with most of the boards).

You'd think that with around 8000 posts, you'd develope some sort of fame or infamy on the boards...

AO left again? Last I'd heard he'd come back, but he's gone again.
Phalanix
14-07-2005, 22:38
Ya SB I know. Though I'm FT only so it kinda limits my interaction with most people.


And ya AO is gone for good. He TGed me his password and told me to take good care of his nation. Shame realy. He was such a good RPer but always never got the proper attendance level he needed to get them off the ground.

Damn, I liked his Demon Wars RP's. It's a shame they never got off the ground after the first one, mainly due to the pre-Jolt server used at the time.
Phalanix
14-07-2005, 22:47
YAY it's my favorit RPer. Damnit Rave hang around abit it gets so boring with Joshua not getting back handed by Qui and then the two trying to kill each other.

I know I'm plotting on a way to possibly get AO back but at a high cost to my nation.

Lol Phalanix. I was never your favorite ^_^ and if i was i'm sorry i haven't gotten in touch. things have gotten hectic around here. i'm up for new characters as well. I just...have to let go. I have to i have to i have to. I have to face the fact that underaloz and Haraki will never return, which makes me a very sad kitten. Oh well. :-( *sniffles*

When did the nation of Lord Christopher Scott die? I haven't seen that name in such a long time.

My nation will continue to live even though it doesn't really do anything anymore but just for old times sake.

LCS has een gone for months. Same with so many of our old RP circles.

I can count on one hand(and a spare finger from the other) the current active GDODAD vets. Hell, the only ones that haven't posted on this thread are Sigma and TST.

The Underwater Bubble is reduced to one nation. Ragnarok too.

You know... this post is much more or a downer than I thought it would be.

I need a cookie. :(

*Gives Crimmond a giant cookie the size of Nebraska.*

Why Nebraska? No idea. Just popped into my head at 12:58 in the morning. 2.7x billion and still kickin'! Now go forth and show us some of that old timer :P spirit!

You're doubtlessly Nietzsche's Übermensch, managing a 5bn population by way of sticking around and occasionally logging in to keep the nation alive... I mean, most everyone else would doubtlessly fail such a demanding, colossal task. You're the Heracles of the 3rd millenium.

Almost to 4 billion. I'm one of those unknown oldies. I remember the first time I stumbled into General - someone had made a thread about this "Beeker" character and I had wondered what all the fuss was about. :p

Twenty-six months, less two days. I remember feeling like such a newbie when I first started playing....never really thought I'd be one of the old-timers who reminisce about the "Good Old Days"....
