I've been playing for XXX years

[Soulpieced]

No you haven't. If you claim to have played Gemstone on only AOL, the longest you could possibly have been playing for is since Fall 1995 (8 years). If you were playing before 1995, you could not have used AOL, have lived in Kulthea, and not Elanthia, and you would be considered an "ICE *iron crown enterprises* Ager".

Final note, if you started playing Gemstone on AOL, you have NOT BEEN PLAYING FOR MORE THAN 8 YEARS.

Thank you.

Kryblue begs to differ.

That timeline is all lies! I've been playing GS for at least 20 years now!

[Weedmage Princess]

[Soulpieced]

Can you not read a simple timeline made by a Simutronics employee?! Gemstone didn't even EXIST on AOL. Meaning you could not physically access it because it's not there.

[DCSL]

Man, what a crock. I've been on AOL since the '70s and we had GS3 back then!

[Methais]

World of Warcraft doesn't exist yet. But when it does, I predict the first two expansions will be called The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.

Also, monks won't come out in 2004, or for many years after. Most likely never. Same with Savants.

In addition, a new 110+ area in the rift will open up in about 6 years that Simu doesn't know they're going to make yet. This will happen a few years after they release another post cap area on Teras called Temple Nelemar which will be out in about 3 years.

Also, a guy named Michaelous will get permabanned with the Belt of Kai, and several other high end items he bought for cash. Whoever has the belt (or any high end items) right now, please don't sell it to him.

Also, Khaladon, please bite your tongue on the officials in about 5 years. You will lose, and that will be bad for Gemstone. :(

[AnticorRifling]

I started in Feb of 2000, I was in the desert and bored out of my skull. I train slow and in 3 yrs I've got 57 lvls. Fear the power.

[Edaarin]

Heh, every time I saw Kryblue on eBay, I'd laugh at his ridiculously bad training and wonder how he got past level 30. Then reallocation hit, and the value of all characters went down. Damn you Simu!

[Drew2]

He didn't give me that excuse. He's a horrible debator though.

[Back]

I must have started late 95? Or 96? It was free on AOL at the time. Went through a couple of bards before I got one that worked well. Played for at least a year and a half? Then I left and had fun in other games. Reactivated my 33 level bard just this year.

[Ravenstorm]

Funny you should post this now. As of this month, it's exactly 10 years since I started playing GS. Not that I expect anyone really cares. I'm just reminiscing and forcing you to skip over my post.

I started with an elven thief first named Finoril. I think I got him up to level 15? Maybe even 20. It was a lot harder back then. Months later, I wanted to try another character and thus was Ravenstorm born. I ended up liking the healer better than the 'teef' and eventually canceled that first account.

Damn. I wasted so much money. Ah well. I had fun at the time so it can't really be considered a waste. if I keep telling myself that I may believe it. :rolleyes:

I could have sworn that I started GS on AOL when I was in the 7th grade (which would be 94). Guess I'm wrong.

O well, it's not like I go around saying "Hey, I'm really kewl, I've been playing for a billion years, hur hur hur, I remember when we waved goat cheese to lure out rats, you should show me more respect, cause for the last 9 years, I've had absolutely no life and I know more people that knew people from the Ice age."

Not saying that everyone that states how long they've been playing mean this, but I do see it from time to time.

I wonder who's been sold more...Kryblue or Icerolose.

See, now Ravenstorm I know of. I used to keep logs (on my old mac which was reformatted YEARS ago) of legends I saw. I'd pretty much copy and paste anyone over 60 years old because they were so rare back then.

Roy Bellete, I and another that I know have ownded Kryblue so my vote is with Kryblue.

I sold fast. His rep in game is so horrible even I couldnt stand to script hunt or pop boxes with him.

When I started playing Gemstone it was in the late 50s and PBM

Heh that timeline's missing the inclusion of GS opening on Prodigy, with its own Unix-based front end. That happened around the same time that it opened on AOL. The difference was that the Prodigy portal was a direct port to server. AOL's went through..who the hell knows.

[Dighn Darkbeam]

I remember starting to play in middle school with my friend, and im pretty sure he used prodigy to access the game.

Anyone want to give an idea of the least amount of time I could be playing if I managed to find the game on prodigy? I really cant remember the exact year I started.

[Soulpieced]

started playing in late 94. I was 12 at the time.

Yes, parents were paying for AOL at the time.

It was incredibly expensive. Charged by the hour.

I'm post IceAge, though...and have never claimed to be an Ice Ager.

You can argue this all you want, but it's the truth. ::shrug::

I still don't see how that pertains to the ranger spell issue, though

[Soulpieced]

Above was a quote by Adredin. He just doesn't get it.

Here is yet another timeline that proves he's an idiot.

http://www.legendmud.org/raph/gaming/mudtimeline.html

[StrayRogue]

I started in the Xmas of 97 on a crappy per per minute provider.

[CrystalTears]

I started in June 1997. I know because I was 6 months into my miserable marriage and wanted out, Gemstone was my mini-escape and my eternal trauma ever since.

[Xcalibur]

march 2002 for me, just because I like role master and even if it's deiced, i think it is (was) very alike

[Soulpieced]

I don't understand why with all of the evidence that I've posted that Gemstone didn't even EXIST on AOL, why he can still believe that he's been playing for that long. Boggles my mind how someone can be so stubborn on something they're so wrong about...

Ok so he was one year off. He may have even been a few months off, depending.

[Soulpieced]

Actually Tayre, it was fall circa August 1995 that it opened on AOL. Beta testing opened up in late spring or summer, and I doubt he knew anyone on AOL staff when he was 12 years old...

[Drew2]

Give him a break. Maybe he had 90 degree hills around his house.

[Soulpieced]

Are you insinuating Graysalin is Warclaidhm? Strange connection, yet possibly true. Both of a complete lack of intelligence and fail to look at FACTS, and are incredibly stubborn yet unwilling to listen.... hmmm..

[CrystalTears]

Man I wish I had crackhead parents paying expensive hourly charges to play an online game when I was 12. I had to wait until I could pay my own way and get my own computer before I could do things like that. AND I'm an only child. So much for being a spoiled single child!

I've tried that argument, Crystal Tears. Apparently there are several people here that sucked on silver spoons and laugh at the poor kids who's parents wouldn't pay for such things at an age like that.

Um... saying he can admit he was wrong is assuming he's human. You're jumping too far ahead for him there, Falgrin.

[Soulpieced]

I wracked up approximately 1000 dollars in AOL bills between August and December 1996. And that got me to level 7. So you're telling us that your parents paid over 10000 dollars so their 12 year old could play a game that didn't exist on AOL in 1994? Let alone had an external modem < 28.8 which alone cost a few more hundred dollars at the time?

[Makkah]

I started back in the day on Prodigy (maybe 96?). Never got into it until AOL Unlimited though.

rht

[Soulpieced]

I'm sure he'll claim to have used the web to access Gemstone at that time too. Funny, Netscape 1.0 was released in December 1994. Do you think Graysalin was doing much websurfing during all that time he claims to have been playing Gemstone too?

[Halfsilver]

OMG. It seriously is that important to you all. Jeezus.

My parents were paying that much, and I actually wasn't allowed...several months after I started playing, they had to lock the computer room door. I found ways around it and they eventually cancelled. We got it back when it went unlimited.

I remember playing in 94 on AOL, because it was a year after I moved to Maryland and I was in 7th grade. I remember quite clearly.

I tried to be cordial here, but you guys are just insisting on being evil. So there are two possibilities. Either my memory is off, or the timeline is wrong. I seriously doubt the first.

As to comparing me to Warclod, with the amount of intelligence expressed in tayre's joke name thread and the persistance in calling me out on this issue, I guess I could say the same about each one of you.

-grays/d:thumbsup:

[StrayRogue]

Seriously, what does it matter to anyone when who started playing and when? Surely what matters is how one plays in the here and now, eh?

Just forget it Soulpieced. He says he's right and the facts from the timelines are wrong. I'd let it go if I were you cause you're not gonna win.

[Drew2]

Wow. Graysalin has to be THE most arrogant/subborn/dumb person I've EVER heard of.

And if you know the people I've seen in my life, that's saying a LOT.

[Soulpieced]

I've already proved through at least 5 different sources that Gemstone DID NOT EXIST ON AOL UNTIL 1995. That's in as plain English to prove he's wrong as anything I can imagine. And I doubt he's ever even HEARD of more than 2 people on that list. Yet he claims to have been playing since then? False.

[Soulpieced]

Plus that was the ICE age, and he even SAID HE WASN'T AROUND IN THE ICE AGE.

[Soulpieced]

Direct quote from Manny's site.

Offered here are glimpses of the games past, mostly from the ICE Age (1992-1995). It was during this time that the game went from a handful of players to over 100 all logged in at once. I'll continue to improve the offerings found here as time permits me.

[Halfsilver]

Give me another list, SP. I remember some folks from way back then.

I'm sure I'll be able to recognize some.
None on that list, though.

Funny, since that's probably 90% of the people that played then. Which means you either interacted with 3 people or are lying.

I have a feeling something very dumb is going to be posted in the very near future.

Announcement: GemStone III will be shutting down at 10:55 AM EDT for a scheduled hardware upgrade. Downtime is expected to be anywhere from one to two hours. Please plan accordingly.


Do I win?

And there it is <points to the post above>

Yes, Xcalibur..you do.

[Halfsilver]

I'm not lying, Tayre.

I understand that that is probably a pretty full list of people.

Maybe I am not remembering correctly. I would of bet money on it, though. ::scratches head::

I'll look into it, and tell you all what I find.
For now, though I have to go to work.

[Parkbandit]

Heh.. he chose to keep digging.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I worked at AOL and got free time back then, being a 'host' for NeverWinterNights. I loved that game, much as I love Gemstone now.

Makes me wonder what I'll be playing when GS runs off all their customers.

Edit: Had to add, not insinuating I played GS in 95, only that I got free time. I played NWN til about Feb 96 I think, then migrated to GS.

I'm sure halfsilver isn't lying. We, men, often got that damn selective memory to prove we're right.

I'm positive your timeframe is off a little over a year or so, Graysalin. Gemstone III wasn't on AOL back in 94. People on AOL back then for the most part were doing chat-room D&D style RPing. As a matter of fact, I could be wrong...but....wasn't it not even 3 yet that early? It might have been just Gemstone or Gemstone II? Not sure.

[Edaarin]

I remember back in 1994, I turned ten. My birthday cake only had one big candle 10 instead of a bunch of little ones that year.

...

So what's this thread about again?

EDIT: I gave my damn spider charm away. And my shimmering orb. Ugh. Next time when I quit I should just demonicize my characters so I'm not tempted to come back.

[Bestatte]

If memory serves (and maybe it doesn't)...

Gemstone was released "Live" in fall of 1995, as most accounts attest to. But it was available for betatesting prior to that. I'm not sure how long it was in beta, but I'm wondering if maybe there was an overlap between the old ICE system and GSL?

I don't remember there being one, but I would only have read about it, since I didn't start playing GS til around a month after Prodigy released ITS live (called gold in the mudworld) version, and that was around 4 months after it released its beta front end.

I started playing very late 1995. That much I know for sure. And I started on Prodigy. That much I also know for sure.

Oh and by the way - I opened a new account today - that 30 day free trial that doesn't require a credit card deal. Kinda annoyed me that the name Bestatte wasn't available. I wonder if they actually kept her, or if there's someone else playing with that name?

My stats SUCK. My skills SUCK. I'm level 2, with no deeds, re-learning the game from the ground up. Fun, in a nostalgic kinda way. Just don't ask me to turn on my amulet. It ain't gonna happen.

Hollar if you need anything.

[Weedmage Princess]

It went live on Prodigy in 95? I thought it came to P* in early 96? That's when I started.

[Bestatte]

Thanks, but I'm gonna try it as if I was truly a newbie - and I kinda am, been away from the game so long I can barely remember anything!

Call it an experiment, I guess. To see if the magic's still there. I got killed at level 1, healed and rezzed by a duo who actually attempted to RP out the situation. Granted it wasn't stellar RP..but they didn't pull any "u need better eq" crap on me, so I give them props for that.

I have, however, come to the conclusion that I hate the verblist. I like emoting much better. I also like being able to direct what I say to specific people...so that a whole room of people doesn't assume I'm talking to them, when I'm actually trying to talk to just one person, out loud, without having to resort to whispering.

Like..

Bestatte says to Anticor, "Thanks, I appreciate the offer."

Anticor would see:

Bestatte says to you, "..."
I would see:
You say to Anticor, "..."
and everyone else would see the first one.

[CrystalTears]

Actually the Stormfront lets you speak directly to other people. I honestly don't remember how it's worded to be able to do it in the regular game, if it's even available in GS3 or just a GS4 thing. I was in there yesterday and someone spoke to me just as you said, so it is available. :)

[Bestatte]

In some muds it's "sayto" and in other muds it's "tell"

I'd love to see directed acts though..there are only a VERY few games that have it, but it's awesome.

I would type:

emote snorts derisively at ~crystaltears before turning toward the door.

You'd see:

Bestatte snorts derisively at you before turning toward the door.

everyone else would see:

Bestatte snorts derisively at Crystaltears before turning toward the door.

Also to be able to insert yourself in the middle of emotes (acts) instead of just the beginning of them:

With a derisive snort at Crystaltears, Bestatte turns toward the door.

which is done like this:

emote with a derisive snort at ~crystaltears, @ turns toward the door.

Mostly though, I just like snorting at Crystaltears.

[CrystalTears]

I'm noticing. :P

[ElvenRangeress]

You guys are ALL so mother fucking rude. I mean look at yourselves. NO GRAYSALIN YOUR WARCLAIDHM, YOUR STUPID, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU STARTED PLAYING GS! I mean listen to yourselves. I know you guys can be more civil than this, I've seen it. How the heck do you know when he started playing? And do you seriously care that much about it? Please you guys calm down a bit, I know you are all better than this.

[Edaarin]

Well, who didn't see that coming.

But I agree, it's sort of pointless to argue about it. Damn it Soulpieced, why did you put this thread in my folder! Giving it to Peam and Tsa'ah.

I saw that post coming just like every time Tayre posts Daina posts supporting him and vice versa. Its a tag team duo that, right or wrong, is sure to happen.

Had he just admitted that there was a possibility that he was wrong, this wouldn't have gone on as long as it has.

Perhaps a bit much to get this voiceful over, although this ticks off plenty of people, so I can understand SP's desire to get the facts out in the open, since it IS aggravating to hear someone mention how long they've been playing when the people who were there too know the truth.

That's like me saying to my boss that I've been working at the company since it opened in 1985 when he shows me a company timeline and shows me that it was opened in 1990 and being adamant about the company records being wrong. It's rather ridiculous.

Whether he's wrong in your opinion or not, there is no reason to jump at someone. So he was off a year, people make mistakes. But you guys are so much better than this, all jumping at one person isn't really a good way to deal with something like this. How about talking directly to the person, something a little more professional maybe... :?:

[CrystalTears]

Good lord woman, why do you even post on a public message boards if you only want people to respond privately?

And no one's saying they are better than him, that's what he's been doing actually. We've been posting out facts and he denies them saying he's right. He doesn't want to admit there's a POSSIBILITY that he is wrong. But whatever. I just didn't appreciate you coming in here foaming at the mouth just to insult people in a debate.

[ElvenRangeress]

I'm not insulting, I'm stating a fact. Comments that were made were seriously rude. And you know that. Sorry I said everyone, its actually directed to just a few people, but you know who you are. I know you can deal with things better CT, this just isn't like you.

[CrystalTears]

Eh? I didn't care if it was including me or not. I'm saying I didn't appreciate you coming here strictly to insult those involved in the debate.

[ElvenRangeress]

As I said, it wasn't directed to everyone, just a few people. I'm sure they know who they are.

Even if it was directed to one person, the insult was uncalled for. Or would you rather I delete this back and forth and just edit your post to explain what I mean?

Oh but it wasn't directed at me? And now you're quoting me?! :lol:

Incidently, that was a serious statement, not a stab at anyone including Grays. My mother never paid that kind of money for any hobby of mine. And you can bet I would NEVER pay amounts in the hundreds for an online game for my 12 year old. If I did, I would fully expect people to call me a crackhead.

Ct, dear. This wasn't a flame/insult towards everyone here. But you must admit, the quote I posted above from you was uncalled for. Calling someone rude is not an insult, its an opinion. I'm like you, overly opinionated.


edited to answer CTs edit hehe..: Wouldn't you want your child to be interested in a game that teaches them to read better, improve typing skills, and more? GS to me used to be like a story ... (until the idiots entered.)... I'll finish this in a bit have to run.

I have, however, come to the conclusion that I hate the verblist. I like emoting much better. I also like being able to direct what I say to specific people...so that a whole room of people doesn't assume I'm talking to them, when I'm actually trying to talk to just one person, out loud, without having to resort to whispering.

In GSIV...

say :<person> <message>

say :bestatte this is how it works

Backlash says to Bestatte, "This is how it works."
Backlash says to you, "This is how it works."

GSIV will also auto-cap and punctuate.

How about talking directly to the person, something a little more professional maybe... :?:

Whether he is right or wrong isn't an opinion if what he was claiming could not have happened. He was wrong.

Instead of letting it die and going on with life, he chose to state that he wasn't wrong when faced with the facts.

THAT is where people have an issue with him.

Do I really care if he was here for 9 or 19 years? Couldn't care less... but don't continue to stick by your story when the proof is solidly against you.

That's excellent, Backlash! Finally Gemstone is getting with the program. Other games (not just the ones I've played - we're talking hundreds here) have had this implemented like - forever. The Diku code comes with a snippet just for the purpose.

If only Whatley wasn't so myopic and took a LOOK at what some of these other games can do, they'd have had this stuff implemented years ago.

But then - if I hadn't been so myopic when I started playing GS, I wouldn't have played as long as I did.

But it's great to see them catching up. Hopefully the rest of the gaming world won't be decades ahead by the time they get where the others are now.

And yes, this was a rant against the backwards thinking of Simutronics, in case you thought it was sarcastic. It isn't. I'm dead serious.

Dang. This is too funny. I still can't believe people insist they've been playing for (insert random # of years here). The point of this post wasn't to slam anyone in particular, it was to try to get some facts straight. And in typical PC fashion, we always have the 'YOU ARE WRONG I'M FUCKING RIGHT I'VE PLAYED SINCE 1900'.

So SP shows some timelines. Of course, the timelines must be wrong SP.

I don't know about other people, but when *I* am mistaken, I'll be the first one to say it. Why is it other people keep diggin a hole tryin to argue a stupid issue. My god dude, who cares if you started in 94 or 95? Just get your facts straight and don't try to argue the timeline. I'm pretty sure simu has ACCURATE records and know when they went on AOL.

I started playing in may of 1998 so I'm not even going to get into the debate. Guess I'm a noobie.

Grays stated in his post he could of been wrong. Meaning he started around 94. So if it wasn't 94, you go up a year. I mean its not that important, is it? He didn't say oh screw you bla bla bla I DID START IN 1994!!!! BLALLALAL! He said, I could be wrong about it, but it was around that time.

[Weedmage Princess]

Uhm Atheana he didn't say he "might" have been wrong until after the fact. Initially, he said he started in 94, and when told it wasn't possible, that Gem didn't go live til 95, he argued that he DID in fact play in 94. Again, it was quite a while later until he said he might be mistaken.

I'm gonna say something, and it's not meant as an insult, it's meant as just a bit of advice, but you can take it how you wanna, as I'm sure you know...I don't care really. People are going to say things that you might not like, both here on the boards and when you deal with them face to face. Just because YOU might find it rude or might not want to hear what is being said...doesn't mean it "shouldn't" be said. That's the way the world works. It doesn't revolve around your wants. The sooner you face that...that and you have to take responsibility for your actions--you'll be better off.

[Hulkein]

I first played Gemstone sometime in '95, I was 11... Probably a year later did I actually get a character to buy.. GASP.. MITHRIL! It was a purple mithril broadsword, it was my cherished item, ENCHANTED! I got it registered of course, immediatly.

Heh, then me and my old friend gathered a hunting party from the catacombs and went into DANJIRLAND, when it really was dangerous for the majority of players. Hill troll took out two of the guys, we made a run for it, another one took down another person and my friend and gave me a bleeder, but I had a purple mithril broadsword so I was alright.. I went south, sat down (not knowing you didn't have to sit to tend yourself) and tended my arm, nice long round time. The troll came in and finished the job, my purple mithril broadsword was dropped and forever lost.

I actually asked the gods for it back since it was registered, and when they told me no deal I re-explained it was MITHRIL, and ENCHANTED. Hah, good times. My name was Thrainn I think, got him to around level 15 when I realized his TD was around 6 and hunting wasn't going to work much longer.

This is his latest post before he was trying to figure out who anyone was in the list of people playing at the time.

I don't see where he said he might be wrong. If anything he's implying that the timelines are.

But if he insists that he was playing during one of the ICE age years and in the same breath say he was never playing during the ICE age, it just makes his story not work. It's one or the other.

Seriously though, I don't care how long one has been playing. It obviously has no bearing on whether someone can roleplay or hunt efficiently. It doesn't have any relevance to any opinion other than perhaps to speak of the situations that happened back then. Other than that, it just seems like an ego thing.

But when someone calls you on your error, at least admit that you were wrong, or agree that it could be a possibility. To refuse and deny that you could actually be wrong just makes it that much more irritating to deal with.

Uhm that wasn't his *last* post before he left, why don't you take a look at the other one. He also mentioned in that one he'll be back later to finish this all off. He didn't leave whining like a baby sayin you're wrong, whatever whatever. He said I'll be back later. I mean I just talked to the guy on the phone! I asked if he started in '95, he said it was 94' or '95. But he can tell you that when he gets chance to talk here. Until then perhaps you should just drop the fact you think he's this that or the other, okay? At least let the guy talk too.

Like Weedmage said, he's changing his story after the fact, but he hasn't said it here yet. But yes dearest, I will let it go until he comes back, since he just didn't have the time before to confirm anything. How convenient. :smug:

I remember when my character got his first mithril broadsword, I thought he was the man. And when he finally got a VULTITE (w00t!) broadsword, his dick musta grown about 3 feet.

Ah those were the days when you got a REAL feeling of accomplishment in GS.

[Brat8525]

I still have to wonder why in hell it even matters when who started? Does it give you some IG status?

So what if you know they are BS'ing about when they started playing. Sheesh all these posts about who is right and who is wrong.

Having been in GS since its birth is NOT a status symbol folks......really.

[Weedmage Princess]

No, it doesn't matter who started when. I'll tell you what DOES matter though....although I'm sure it's going to go ignored ONCE AGAIN, cause it has despite having been mentioned numerous times.

This is about some people's inability to not be able to gracefully accept that they've made a mistake, but instead sit there and argue, trying to make it look like other people (who are right) don't know what the hell they're talking about. Had he just said "You know I could be wrong, I'm not sure, I think 94" instead of arguing--vehemently might I add--that he did, and trying to make other people look stupid, perhaps this wouldn't be an issue.

Quite frankly, especially after Atheana's little tantrum, I am enjoying seeing the humble pie get passed around.

~Weedie, who can admit mistakes when she makes them.

[Edited on 10-17-2003 by Weedmage Princess]

[ElvenRangeress]

Didn't have any tantrum. What I did get was offended that alot of people started jumping at one person. Whether it's my man or anyone else. It wasn't right. I'm not saying anyone is horrible or whatever, what I am saying is that I expect better from you guys. Stop making excuses on how he's doing this that or the other to provoke your harassment, just listen to the guy for once and stop jumping to conclusion when he's not even around to explain himself.

[Weedmage Princess]

Eh...?

Jumping to conclusions? WTF are you talking about? Don't answer...I'm sure you really don't know.

Dude SAID he started in 94. After being told REPEATEDLY that Gem didn't go live til 95, he CONTINUED to say it. It wasn't til well after the fact, well after he's argued over and over that he DID start in 94--no matter what ANYONE ELSE wants to believe (I do believe that was the line he used in one of his posts) he decided to say "Oh well..uh..maybe I got my times mixed up."

He said what he said...No one is "jumping to conclusions" so stop it. Make sure you use phrases/cliches in the right context, please.

AGAIN. Had he not tried to make it look like everyone else had no idea what the hell they were talking about, I think it'd be a dead issue.

I'm really getting annoyed that you people think you can just put people out like that, its messed up and you know it. He didn't post like 50 times saying that you're wrong he's right. So stop with the ... but he said this!!! It's BS, and I don't want to hear it. He posted about two or three times, saying he might be messed up, and he apologized that he did in fact sound rude on his first post. So stop acting like he's this evil creature who is just out to prove you wrong. You know thats not true so stop it.

(And I wasn't directing the conclusion statement to you, so stop assuming everything I say is for you, I promise its not.)

[StrayRogue]

Atheana, please, you are doing yourself and Gray no good. He was wrong, and I think he slowly started to realize that. I'm not saying these people have any right to condemn him for that, but I am saying that he was wrong.

[ElvenRangeress]

Oh I'm not saying he was right, wrong, or anything. I was just stating that attacking someone into telling them what they want to hear was rather immature, and not necessary. Thats all.

Gemstone went live on AOL around October 1995. I know this, because I was hired to help with the AOL conversion in August of 1995

I love running into people in the lands who rant and rave about how they're from the ICE-AGE, and they tell me all sorts of bull about how things were back then....

The whole while I'm nodding and smirking at them, because they don't have a clue who I am.

It's amazing that there are ten times as many people who played on GEnie today as there were back then, and none of them have a clue how to even lie about it.

[StrayRogue]

Atheana, I have a friend very similar to you. Lovely girl, heart in the right place, very genuine and lovely etc. BUT, she could never see fault in herself, only in others, and often displaced her own feelings of inadequacy onto those people. She could never take responsibility for her actions or words and was utterly "blameless", meaning that no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with her.

That isn't a knock, merely an observation from reading your posts.

Either way, I don't give a fuck if you are from when GS first started or newly rolled last week. What I care about is if you RP well and adhere to the "rules" of GS. The oldest player may talk like an OOC snert; doesn't mean I will respect him anymore than the 1 year RP wonder just because he has been around longer.

[CrystalTears]

She reminds me of Witcheaven. Saying things to her "defensive" when it may not have been directed at her, getting all foamy at the mouth and posting like a hysterical person, and when people call her on it, she goes back and deletes or edits her post to say something completely different and shrug it off as nothing. Drove me nuts. She was another that would push my buttons to want to beat her with her own arm.

Myssa was born in 95 on aol. After reading all these posts I know it had to be after Oct. Never could remember the exact month. I played her until Ydwen left and I realized how poorly trained she was. I created another bard Leilannie and played her until Ardwen was born and Myshel was created.

Myshel

There's your mistake right there... when Ydwen left.. you had your opportunity to run into my arms then.

Would have been much easier that way than to do it behind Ardwen's back all these years. :smug:

[Weedmage Princess]

Yeah she makes everyone want to pull their hair out.

Except me. I like winding her up then watching her go, like a little toy. She reminds me of my 12 year old niece. It's hysterical. Maybe she'll grow up one day and learn that no one cares if her feelings are hurt, especially when she excels at taking little pot shots at everyone then tries to BS her way out of it with "Oh but I don't mean it as an insult..."

To all those who DO allow themselves to get worked up over her...Thank God you're not Graysalin. He has to *live* with her.

[ElvenRangeress]

Actually the funny part is that you actually believe I'm sitting in front the computer foaming from the mouth, and throwing a fit. *rolls her eyes* I'm typing, I don't combine my expressions/feelings from a message board with what I'm doing away from the comp.

[Weedmage Princess]

Okay.

[ElvenRangeress]

Yuppers ;o)

[Chyrain]

I hate to say it....but...Atheana, if you dont like people talking this way about you, if you think they're so misled to how you are in your real life, if your feelings are so hurt by what people say about you or Grays or whomever, show a little restraint and stop feeding the fire. Don't post. Hell, don't even read.

If I thought people were misled about me on an internet message board dedicated to a GAME filled with people I've never met - I wouldn't read it. And I would show that I didn't give a shit by not posting 100 times in a thread trying to convince people who will never meet me in my real breathing life to accept me how I am.

Seriously - you shouldn't care about what anyone here thinks about anything you do. And you should just stop. Just stop. For real. Don't post in response to this or any post. Don't IM people or find them in the game or go into detail about who you think is right or wrong to anyone. Just step away. And stop. Completely.

Then we'll believe you don't care. And the best thing - Your feelings will stop being hurt because you will be obvlivious to what other peole - who don't matter - think about you.

[Weedmage Princess]

Wasting your time, Chyrain. People have been trying to tell her this for the longest. It goes in one ear, and out the other.

[Kryblue]

This post is long, but not without reason.

Pieces of information known by themselves alone create a different conclusion, then when all the facts are known.

Clarification:

I raised and owned Kryblue,
I sold Kryblue for financial needs.
I bought Kryblue/myself back as soon as I could afford it.
I sold Kryblue again. I thought I wanted to leave the game forever.
I bought Kryblue back again, realizing I sold in haste.

I bought him back this last time minus all his equipment and without my other character on the account. I paid 2,000.00 dollars to get him/me back. I would never do that unless he was me, since he's not worth close to that and I took a sizable loss on the transacation. However I gained a part of my being back.

While in the hands of other temporary owners he did not gain even one level to help me along the way. Every level I have earned myself. Someone thought my training was so bad they were surprised I made it to 30. Well [surprise] I'm 137.

I did gain many decays each time I bought Kryblue back. Over 15 total, of which I am still working myself out of.

Kryblue, in the hands of one temporary owner gained a very bad reputation, that I still strive to overcome. He did things, and acted in ways Kryblue would never do, say, or act. That was not me, that was not who Kryblue is.

The original Kryblue, and the current Kryblue are the same, I myself.




I do not see true characteristics within the game as wrong. Not all people are nice, bad, evil, or humble. Some are arrogant, perhaps with nothing to back it up, but it is how they are. If you observe Kryblue being arrogant, please do not make the incorrect assumption that he like that all the time.

Kryblue can be arrogant at times. Some people in the world are arrogant, but not always. So also Kryblue can be very arrogant sometimes within the game.



Other posts I have no need to clear up.
Personal situations in the past between me and others are being displayed here as what I see as 'pay back' toward me. They use my character as the tool through which they work. They are lies, and I will not address them.



Because I choose to train according to my own plan, does not mean it was wrong. It was just my way, and not the traditional training everyone expected a sorcerer to train.

The training was good enough to let me outgrow the Rift almost two years before Old Ta'illlistrim was made where he could hunt again. I choose to come down from the Rift. I did not remain in the rift simply to hunt fame.

Some speak of my role play, and you must address each incident directly as each was different. Many instances may not even have been with me, as I am with Kry.

Though my character of Kryblue is newer, my original characters were on Prodigy beta, which was released about one month before the beta on AOL came out. (big deal right) I have one of those characters to this day, with the charm that still attaches and all other such gifts the gods have given out over the years to celebrate this or that mile marker.

Since I was a Chat Host in Prodigy in the Arts Dept., I had immediate access to gemstone without cost. I was there before the first Legend ever was crowned, when the landing, was all there was, for nothing else existed, but the hunting grounds outside.

I am familiar with the game, it's history, it's changes, and I find no comparison of role play now, with how well it was done back then.

Perhaps I have just become tired in how many times 'role play', has been watered down more and more. Perhaps I have given up hope that true role play will ever come back, and have given myself into the chat room mentality of the role play which I find myself surrounded. I will address this within myself, and change as I see neccesary.

To review quickly.
I was Kryblue, I sold him, I bought myself back, I sold him, I bought myself back. The original player IS the current player. If I could do it again, I would not have sold him, and had his character malignable by others.

I will not post about this again. I know I open myself up to dozens of area's where people can disagree with my personal feelings and try to dig a hole to bury me in. I know many postings where done by people who have a problem with me personally, so they lash out at Kryblue. I know they will want to defend themselves.

I do not post this lightly, and without thought. Let truth survive, and rumor, and false accusations lay in the hole that was meant for me to fall into.

I am myself. You do things your way, I do things mine. Let none of us however 'judge' another by one or two encounters with each other. Many of us have uncountable hours here, giving so many years of ourself to this game.

You can not touch the true character of a person whom you have just met, by a one or two hour encounter.

They may seem wonderful, and you may spend hundreds of hours with them, before you discover that they are a little 'less' then wonderful. The same is true to the opposite. You may encounter someone for a few days, and think them less then wonderful, however in time discover they are much more then you first saw.

One other note, my own personal belief not yours, but I have NeveR script hunted.

[Parkbandit]

Hey Kryblue...

Now that you are 'back'... can I collect on the 2 million silvers you owe me?

[Kryblue]

Sure

I only wrote you like four emails trying to link up with you for this.

I have them, always had.

Please send me an email, I don't have the email you are currently using, is my guess. Or you can meet me in game.

[ElvenRangeress]

kryblue check your u2u's...

[Drew2]

Kryblue, you're still a tool (join the club) in my eyes.

I argued with you for quite a while in Solhaven LAST WEEK. You're an arrogant, dumb jackass. I don't care if you rolled up Kryblue yesterday, I expect a little more out of people than you give. GARR acts better than you. He doesn't sit there openly talking about AS and DS and what not in the middle of town, at least. He's learned that. Which is sad... claiming to have been here since Prodigy or what the hell ever and not at LEAST staying in genre is just retarded.

And by the way.. that whole "I saw the first blah blah and the only town was blah blah with blah blah" is exactly the arrogance I was talking about. No one gives a shit what you saw or what you did if you act like a tool. I should know.

edit: Furthermore, this jackass tried to argue that he knew more about hunting ethics than I ever will... because I killed a crab in the same room as him during an INVASION. They were everywhere... people were everywhere.. and they were EASY. They were like 15 trains or something. And him and his little bitch were bitching and moaning and quaking because people were killing THEIR pathetic crabs. It was quite satisfying when a giant crab came out and killed both him and his bitch for whining on the amulet.

[AnticorRifling]

Kryblue the situation involving me and one of your children you handled well. You didn't come in blasting and I was impressed in your ability to listen to both sides. This was probably four months ago so I'm not sure which Kryblue it was but if it was you, a nod and a thanks are in order.

Read my post again. The answer is there. If you can't find it there, it doesn't matter what I say. Read it with non selective hearing if you can.

[Drew2]

Ok, I'm sorry, let me rephrase.

I didn't have a problem with Kryblue. I was talking to YOU the player in private thoughts. YOU are the arrogant jackass.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Drew2]

Kryblue can be arrogant at times. Some people in the world are arrogant, but not always. So also Kryblue can be very arrogant sometimes within the game.

I assume this is what you meant, by the way.

[Parkbandit]

Don't worry too much about Tayre...

He's our special "tool" here.

[Drew2]

I feel special in an insulted way.

Edit: Or insulted in a special way. Not sure.

[Edited on 10-17-2003 by Tayre]

[Kryblue]

It wasn't even you that I was speaking with in those private thoughts.

You came in blasting after, not knowing the full story of what happened earier. What happened that created your perception of what seemed like me inflating my own ego.

I in fact was answering questions another was asking about the barrier. But seeing all my answers in declaratory sentences, would make me look extremly arrogant. I was unaware of where or how you got that impression until after we were done.



AnticorRifling
Thanks!

That was me you were speaking with.
I have been myself going on a year now. Never was I out of myself for too long.

[Drew2]

I have many forms. It WAS me you were talking to.

I can see how I could have mistaken your thoughts, but you only made it worse with the private ones. Trying to have a pissing contest about "Who has been here longer" is SO middle school. And that's the ONLY thing you were using as a defense. "I've been here longer. I know what I'm talking about. I know what I"m doing. How long have YOU been here??? I was here when the first lord took a crap!! OMG!!" Yeah THAT was my problem... whether I misunderstood or not, you didn't need to PERSIST in being arrogant. You DON'T know everything, and even if you're whatshisface Watley or whatever, you don't NEED to be an arrogant prick to get your points across.... if you ever actually come up with a point.

[StrayRogue]

That shitty argument never holds water, unless you are an OOC jackass. Stay is several thousand years old, etc. No he hasn't been in the Landing for the last 15 years. One would assume a lowly frontier town would not be the hub of all social and historical activity.

[Parkbandit]

Tayre would hate Falgrin. He would make Kryblue look like a choir boy. :smug:

[Drew2]

I highly doubt it. It's REALLY hard to get under Tayre's skin. Ok well 1 quick way to do it is be a blatant OOC Jackass. But other than that.. thievery, insults, etc. roll off his skin. And besides.. I carry a max of about 20 silvers for gate fees and cursed gems in open containers at all times. :D

[Weedmage Princess]

Eww

It's bad enough when she actually posts....

[ElvenRangeress]

You guys need to seriously leave me alone. You're really starting to annoy the hell out me. If you don't like me stop talking to or about me. I stood up for someone who was getting insulted and degraded right before my very eyes. Its only right to defend that person. I'm sorry you all seem to think you can defend your friends/loved ones, but that I'm not allowed too. I'm also truly sorry that you actually think you can have your opinions about someone, yet I can't. Now I corrected myself for using *all* on my second post. I apologized and said that I should of used a different word. But since you're so perfect and never make any mistakes, I guess you have the *right* to have my own mistake as your signature. It's disgusting people actually do these things, I can only imagine how they act away from the computer. I can only imagine. I believe alot of you need to think about what you are doing, and why you are doing it. Are you really trying to teach me a lesson or correct me, or are you just being an idiot? Helping someone, or explaining something to someone shouldn't include rudeness, nor should it start or end with insulting names ... i.e. being idiot, dumbass, jackass, etc. Its wrong, and cold hearted. Why am I posting this if I don't care you ask? Because I do care what people think about me and my character even though I shouldn't. I like to know people like me, its not fun to have people dislike you. People can say stop posting if you don't like it, but yet you always see that person as well defending their name. Its all about standing up for yourself, has nothing to do with getting upset or crying IRL. I don't know maybe I'll find better ways to put this one day and then make a thread or something. Until then, just please stop this madness.

I actually met that guy when I first started playing. He told me OOC that the reason he even created such a name was to mock the ones that he termed "The Trent Trublades". He had some bloody gear as well. (That was before they had a ban on bloody things..you know - it would dry, flake off and all that.) :rolleyes:

He was fun. Thanks for posting that - I'm amazed at the number of names I recognize and how very few are still around.

It has been 8 years. Not everyone will play a game for that long. It should be surprising that ANY of those people are still around.

I was playing for a good while before i quit, probally 5-7 years I don't remember

Are you kidding me?

[Nakiro]

Gemstone is designed for an everychanging evolving crowd. What do you think GS4 is all about, hrm?

5 years myself. 2 as Nakiro. 3 doing other stuff that didn't really matter since I deleted the chars.

[Soulpieced]

Awesome fame list post. I've never seen a complete list like that.

[LordSagan]

My god that brings back memories.

Thank you ;)

Xwing was great...he would even have travel scripts which talked about "x-foils locking into place...engines heating up..."...it was a riot.

Vlad was Vlad...you didn't fek with his name ;)

"Roleplay" was alot different back then. We all had fun...nobody was uptight about "How" you roleplayed...everyone did their own thing. Today, people are far too uptight about the "right and wrong" way to roleplay. So are the GM's.

It's true, some things do not have their place....but ultimately, we're all here to have fun. If someone walking through the room with the name "Xwing" ruins your gaming experience....you have issues, and need to get outside more. To each his own, live and let live....if someone isn't directly interfering with you....let them be. Mind you...this is the player of Sagan talking. Sagan himself would likely cut your tongue out for far less ;)

Hell, my first character name was "Deathangel" ;)

I somehow feel RP is a secondary issue in most GM's minds, ESPECIALLY when it comes to names.

[Yedwen]

Not most names are really that bad. Most names that seem really bad back then people had an in character reason for it.

The names I cant tolerate are totally OOC names.

[Artha]

Back then, most people used emoticons in their speech. We've moved up.

[Yedwen]

Remember when everytime you casted something it always looked like:

<person> gestures and utters a phrase of magic ..

Wasnt that long ago. Like, a year maybe?

That pretty much sucked because you didnt really know what kind of spell they were going to cast .. (or what circle)

[GuildRat]

OK, this has been killing me since the first time I saw him; how the hell did Waldo2 get the "2" in his name?

--baffled

[HarmNone]

A re-creation of the original Waldo, I believe. Hence, Waldo2. Although the name would not have been acceptable when the GMs were paying attention to such things, his (and a few others) were "grandfathered" in.

Ahhhhh....gotchya...tanks Harm..I just know that any time I tried to use punctuation or numbers, the keys were "invalid".

>l[Graendlor Pasture]
A broken, stony meadow slopes down before you towards a brush-lined creek. Short, limby pines and modwirs line the ridgetop, and a shaded path wends its way towards a forested valley to the west. A gentle breeze blows across the meadow, carrying the distinct smell of the roltons and gaks that call this pasture home. You also see a rolton, a kobold shepherd, the Vorthais disk and a pile of rolton droppings.
Obvious paths: west, northeast, northwest, southeast.

Fungus grows along the length of some greyed rolton bones that have been hung from the low branches of a pine tree.
