Join history in the making

[Mateius]

Need people to dust off their RP caps and help me develop a loresong. I won the loresong raffle at CCF and would like to make some sort of player memorabilia.

I need stories and names of the most famous players that walked the lands. I expect people to be silly, but I 'd also like some serious input as well.

From my personal experience I plan on including Bleeds, Kodos, Metaboculous, Aanalar, Abdul, Spike the war rat, Beautifulgreen (yes, she deserves an honorable mention), Kali, and a few others who i cant remember off the top of my head. I need names and brief story describing what makes then "legendary". I missed the years between 2000-2009 so I need help filling up that time period.

I am also open to suggestions for the actual loresong. Theme, set up, any and all opinions welcomed. If you think this is stupid and i should use the slot for something else, I'll listen to that as well. Thanks.

***The response is awesome. I would really appreciate a line or two of why these people stood out. I recognize most of the names but some I am unfamiliar with. I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

You realize that there is very little chance you will be able to use their names in a loresong? I believe the protocol for a loresong is just like that of an alter.

I would activate an account for a month if you can somehow work in pulse and sheathed in the same line where you mention Fisdan.

Tsoran too, can't believe no one's mentioned him.

[Donquix]

Zepath if wanna kick it old school mapper style

Beautifulgreen

Isn't she the one that used to fuck GMs in exchange for in-game items?

[DaCapn]

Isn't she the one that used to fuck GMs in exchange for in-game items?

If there is one GS legacy that deserves being immortalized by an in-game loresong, that would be the one.

[Tea & Strumpets]

[Amaron]

[zhelas]

The Cackling Cleric. Lord Morandas

[Jayvn]

Yeah I pretty much remember Blades, haven't talked to justin in a while
Malok
Starsnuffer
and yeah that fucker that cackled every time he came into a room morandas... oh and
the pooor poor wizard... victorae

[LMingrone]

And that Empath that was like level 400 before the GS3 switch.
Setzier too, as someone else mentioned, but use his original name.

[Stanley Burrell]

Karly, Aubery, Higuchi, Wildebeest. Jineers? Who else was RR? Orobini and Mulelip.

Drizzsdt and Porcell. Suvar.

Briars.

Merchants: Hammerhand. Um, Sukara/Elvaria/Grandma? Polto. Hsark. A lot of others.

Dethcom.

All those retards who used to infest HS so badly that someone had to make up the name Porchmaster. Stupid RPA elite.

Murp?

Nitefallz and his gay straightjacket. And his being gay.

The Fish merchant. The Boutique bitch.

Then people like Mnoeme, Meffridus, Maurora, Sammeal, a jillion other peepz.

[Stanley Burrell]

And that Empath that was like level 400 before the GS3 switch.
Setzier too, as someone else mentioned, but use his original name.

Summerlyn? Didn't Cyr tweak his character to be in the 1500's or something. That was tight.

[LMingrone]

Summerlyn? Didn't Cyr tweak his character to be in the 1500's or something. That was tight.

Nah, neither of those two. She did it legit (macro and script healing 24/7 in TSC) as far as I know. Lost my old fame logs, but she was the highest level in the game in about 1999.

[Donquix]

Summerlyn? Didn't Cyr tweak his character to be in the 1500's or something. That was tight.

Was it Sympatico? I remember one of those empaths they had to change the RP formula before they hit 300 because they were about to make the game explode. It was like something something divided by 300 - level, so was about to cause a divide by 0 fault whenever she absorbed exp, lol.

And malok...i was trying to remember his name. Got lockpickign so he could keep leveling as a sorcerer. Used to be awesome because he always picked zombie boxes and if you were hunting there you could just walk over to the little dead end room and give them to him right there, lol.

[Jayvn]

It was Angellisa...she was my in game aunt..cause i was retarded back then and had in game family....
One cast of WOF = awesome

[The Ponzzz]

I think you should just make it short and sweet and do something like...

"Your mom."

Best loresong ever.

[Rolton-Sammich]

Tie them together.

The bard gets a prolonged vision of a long series of various adventurers... intimately encountering the bard's own mom.

[Winowyll]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Stumps the kobold.

[thefarmer]

Stump

[LMingrone]

Damn, forgot about Stump. I remember him giving me a humidor and cigars in the treehouse once. Both were actually rare at one point. Never smoked the damn things because I was scared they'd explode.

Think he gave me a gavel and one of those constable stars too. Might have been another NPC/GM though. Pretty sure it was Stump.

[Mateius]

If approved i can make it happen. I appreciate the extra bit of detail.

[Mateius]

Tempting but too clever of an idea.

[Mateius]

The response is awesome so far. I recognize most of the names but some I an unfamiliar with. Can I get a sentence or two of why these people stood out to you? Thanks. I'll make a new thread soon with a list of names and a sentence or two describing them.

[Stanley Burrell]

Yeah her. I wasn't off by a mile or anything.

Morandas just arrived.

Morandas cackles!

Morandas just went west.

This is clearly the stuff legends are made of.

[Solkern]

Add edgeleaf, Shaukal

[Methais]

If it were me, I'd disqualify anyone who sold their character to some asshat that ran around being l33t, which is probably at least half of the people mentioned in this thread.

[Solkern]

Hmm, Summir too, ooh sweetsugars!!(sarcastic)

[Numbers]

[Mateius]

Well.... I dont think the idea is gonna work. I'd need permission from everyone that I'd want to include in the loresong and that's not something that's feasible. But thank you all for your contribution.

[Methais]

As long as the loresong includes how awesome I am, you have my permission to use Methais.

[waywardgs]

Well.... I dont think the idea is gonna work. I'd need permission from everyone that I'd want to include in the loresong and that's not something that's feasible. But thank you all for your contribution.

I wonder... how much time do you have? Some of those people could be contacted, with a bit of effort... not all, of course, there's been some deaths and such, sadly... but it's a fantastic idea in theory... I'd love to see more commemoration of influential pc's in game. Once in a while one of my alters include specific pc's for this reason.

I wasnt given a deadline, but even if I had a month I dont have the desire to track people down. That just sounds like a huge headache.

[Maerit]

Oh well, was gonna throw a mention of Boomsplat in there, and his linked ring that spelled out B.O.O.M.

[Ysamine]

If I were making a loresong item, I would create something that belonged to a part of the game that has been lost and tie stories of the characters that interacted with the place/NPC. For example, Coutil (The RR Guard in the days of the boot) an item that was once owned by her with a tale of thief or two being beaten for trying to sneak past her and having thier clock cleaned.

In that way you can preserve something that will otherwise be lost over time.

Player of Ysamine, flattered as all heck to have been mentioned in this thread.

[Kriterian]

I've been playing since the pay per hour days but took a lot of breaks. Here's a few things that stand out in my mind:

Kodos and his wife Ruriko (sorry on the spelling) were good friends with my real life wife, Matti. She still has something from one of the first few auctions given to her by Ruriko. A lens that lets you see Town Center from anywhere in the game. Anyway, I think if you mention that particular Legend on the cup, you should mention her.

I remember being killed by Bleeds for healing him without permission.

I remember being killed by Blades for typing ki instead of kill. I came out of hiding near the kobold mine and kissed him instead. This was back when you dropped everything on the ground when you died. He eventually came back and helped me get my stuff, and after that I learned to type full commands.

I remember seeing Jesh steal from a merchant once my rogue was legendary. I'm still in awe of that.

I don't remember Banauge as the auto-scripter every one thought he was. He helped my empath many times and I still remember how he hated when people came in and asked for their hp's to be filled up. He would always say, "Aged pea's? Why would we have any of those here?"

Setzier of course. Love him or hate, he always entertained me and I never saw him OOC.

Lawninja and his rogue dolls came later. I remember he and I were racing to see how many spells we could get. He had gotten e-wave, and always used to "mix up a cocktail" as his way of casting. I remember how happy he was later when I did pass him and got imbed and did some of the first rogue mass guards. I miss him (RIP) even if name did kind of irk me, heh.

I'm trying to remember the name of the other famous wizard. I had an ithloss falchion he enchanted to 10x. You could do half enchants then and it was a full 10x. I want to say it started with Ts or something.

I saw Tsoran mentioned but what about Zepath?

[Sean of the Thread]

Oh well, was gonna throw a mention of Boomsplat in there, and his linked ring that spelled out B.O.O.M.


I haven't played in a long time and not to be morbid however is he still alive IRL? I've not heard anything and last I heard he was pretty sick.

[Adequate Picker]

Well.... I dont think the idea is gonna work. I'd need permission from everyone that I'd want to include in the loresong and that's not something that's feasible. But thank you all for your contribution.

I dont know why you would need permission from any of them, to be honest. IMHO its no different than sitting around somewhere and telling stories of the old days and mentioning those peoples names. Hell even when i did all the interviews and peoples names were spoken, and then published to the web, permission was never asked of any of them.

Unless Simu said you needed it...which i would not believe them anyway.

[Donquix]

Considering it's simu's game, and if simu makes it policy not to do it without the players permission....yes, you do need permission.

It's a fairly common sense policy too.

[Mateius]

It was a guideline set by a GM so I'm gonna respect it as such. If any of the players that were mentioned in this thread wanna PM me or even email me at ItsMateius@aim.com and give me permission I'll go ahead with my original plan if at least 10 people contact me. I think it'll be fun and there are people that deserve the tribute.

[Celephais]

How is Simu going to verify the permission of long since canceled individuals.


... uh, ignore that. Actually every single player mentioned in this thread, I played them. You have my permission. Carry on.

[Mateius]

ROFL. if it were that easy. I'll probably have to have every one of them email me or something and then forward it to simu. If enough people think this is a good idea I'll just go on making the loresong and submit it to simu and see if maybe they'd look past the permission part since every char is technically the property of simu. but if they say no, it's a no. i'm not gonna make too big of an ordeal out of this. after all, this was supposed to be in good fun.

[StrayRogue]

I think the main argument Simu will give is, "How would loresinger know who Boomsplat/Thalior/Bleeds et al. are?". It'd be kosher to describe them (like I think they are on the goblets in HS), but not to name them.

The sad thing is this is probably true. Despite the otherwise awesome, crazy, or in some cases crazy awesome stuff that comes with the magic of a loresong, they'll probably ignore the magic part and beat it with the realism stick.

[AnticorRifling]

Hasheek.

[waywardgs]

Just remembered Harcourt too.

[Malok]

And malok...i was trying to remember his name. Got lockpickign so he could keep leveling as a sorcerer. Used to be awesome because he always picked zombie boxes and if you were hunting there you could just walk over to the little dead end room and give them to him right there, lol.

Yup, used to work pretty well being able to field pick right there. :)

[Lumi]

Mekthros was pretty ace.

Surprised it took until page 6 for anyone to mention him.

And no one seems to have mentioned Armaxis, either.

There's a whole slew of people from the GSS who became well known. Alisaire comes to mind.

Kinshack and Perigourd, too.

[Mechwarrior1]

Haephestus, Kinshack, Agillar, Jorak

[Lumi]

For some reason, seeing Boomsplat's name reminds me of Ooeytooie. He was fun.

[Dreamweaver]

I have a very old scroll which was preserved by an enchantment which cannot be named with the names of many who came to Kelfour's Landing ... to seek their fame.

I wrote it for a visiting dignitary when I was young.

If a bard is interested in performing it to preserve the past, I would gladly share it with them.
