Yeah, and Ian Fleming--that misogynistic, racist prick--is rolling in his grave.

I love it.

Hello OG, I remember you well from my days as an active player. What I most remember about you was a story you were writing, did you ever finish it? I think you had stopped posting it on the forums because you were hoping to get it published.

**Jaw drop**

So nice to be remembered!! 

As a matter of fact, I'm still working on that story.  It has evolved and changed, so it's not quite as it was when I was working on it here.  I had hoped to have Book One out long before now, but Life had other plans. 

Good to see you!  

Wow, this is just so...pathetic.

It would be great if I could see my frickin' character avatar.  But HC has soooooooooo many more important things to do than waste time on Gothador.  

I voted Andor.

It was those reach-arounds that clinched the vote...

**Sigh** 

Anniversary is such funny word, don't you think?

     It's my 13th anniversary in Gothador and it seems so strange...strange because I remember how vibrant and active both the game itself and this community were.  Now, the game is a ghost town and these forums are like an old, empty mansion...silent except for the occasional whisper of a Phantom passing through.  Rooms haunted by memories of the people who passed into my life because of it--some of whom remain, and some who have passed on.

     I could suppose that it's the morbid fascination with old, broken things--like derelict ships or abandoned trains--that keep me coming back (there's little reason to actually play anymore, except that I still love my characters), but truth be told it is that I am grateful.

     There's another funny word.  Grateful.  Growing up, I spelled it "greatfull".  It just made more sense to me that one was 'full of great emotion', rather than full of "a frame of metal bars for holding fuel when burning, as in a fireplace, furnace, or stove".  Heh.  Anyway...

     If it weren't for this place, there is so much I would have missed out on.  I surely wouldn't be writing in my own Universe.  I wouldn't have been blessed with my life-partner.  There would be no memories of Andor's humor, and no conversations with Frank.  And no delight in knowing that two of the games I now play will never hold a candle to Gothador in its heyday.

So happy anniversary to me, in this strange and formerly wonderful place.  It's been grate.  Er...great.

Cheers.

Some things just refuse to die, I suppose. 

it was once the funnest place on the internet

Yeah, before HC forsook it for the children it loved more...  This was the place to be.  **Sigh**

Give it time.. he'll just be another song.

BOOOOM!  Wow, that was quick...three months.  Better be a damn good song.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, in the grand scheme of things, this means nothing.  I love TH, but who he pokes is his business.  And it is a business with her, clearly a very profitable one. 

Hugs her OG

Ah, hugs...always good.  

That is all, carry on.

Ticket opened. Hopefully I will get him back. I would love to bounce around the game from time to time

I hope it works out, it would be great to see him during Dark Clouds. 

There should be Great Old Ones in Gothador!  Of course, the Mighty Cows could call the race 'Transdimensional' or 'Extradimensional', or even 'Multidimensional', but those of us "in the know" would...well...know that they were Great Old Ones.  Version 1 (Male/Female) could be of the...erm...Squid variety, and Version 2 (Male/Female) could have kind of an...amorphous...form or something.

And just use your imagination regarding the kind of creature it would have as its summons...

I know it sounds like I'm joking, but I'm serious.  If I had thought about it all those years ago   (feels funny to type that) when we got the Shadow Class, I would have suggested it, but I wanted a Dwarf Class so bad my teeth hurt.

I know it'll never happen, but imagine how awesome they could be.  I'm picturing an Amorphous variety Miner right now...almost like a gigantic Horta.  

How much fun Doc might have had doing personalized Avatars for those...

I remember both Deb and Onion! I really wish I didn't give Asmodeus away

Asmodeus!  That's a blast from the past!  Glad you're back.
