Not singing, but playing the piano.

If I ever have the time, I might record something else, but not now.

Bah, Misc was a pale, feeble thing in comparison with the glorious communion of souls we true oldbies enjoyed back in '34, when we exchanged notes scribbled on ration cards via carrier pigeon, crafted dramas that made Shakespeare look childish, and discovered DNA by pure thought long before Watson and Crick. Then noobies came and danced on our grave. :rolleyes:
Being that I joined after Miscellaneous was closed, I think you might find I was using almost as much sarcasm as you. :P

My online identity is not far removed from my real identity. Anyone, online or RL, who would like me less upon finding the other personality probably already disliked the first one (or misunderstood it, which means they don't know me that much anyway).

The only issue I have with loss of privacy is risk of unsavory people I know online approaching me in real life. So far I haven't been dissident enough for the CIA to come knocking, however. And as a male I have statistically far less to fear from potential stalkers. Besides, the places where I hang out are mostly savory.

So I'm not particularly worried. Yet.

The Spiderprise is identical with "Around the Universe in however long it takes", I think... and I listed the "Join us!" one.

When did Modwars and Mod Survivor take place, though? I think I missed those.

Pitiful. And I mean the try as well as the board.

Alas, the true Misc is done away with, and newbies are dancing on its grave variously by deriding it and by claiming its heritage for their own board.Ø

Psh. Too horrible to look upon? What it lacked in literary genius it made up for in controlled insanity and a whole lot of fun.

From what I've heard, the Golden Age of Spiderweb RPing had come and gone by the time I got here... Avernum was certainly a great RP, though. Too bad we couldn't keep that spirit going afterwards...

EDIT: Where did Misc go?
Sorry, I threw in good insanity together with bad insanity (Zombie Attack). An embarassing faux-pas for anyone who would claim to be experienced on Spiderweb.

Never heard of MODWARS, sorry. Also, ADoS, I was under the impression that "Around the Place/Block in however long it takes" (you renamed it later, afaik), was your first one. But now that I think about it, I remember you said "*This time*, we're only going around the block", which implies you had something similar going on before.

However, I haven't saved that. I guess it was in Misc.

There are several other roleplays I remember:

The Spatula of Arthritis RP

Crystals Souls RP (Character Descriptions)

Also, several roleplays were archived and then deleted from the boards. Of these, only one has been restored online so far (YES, stop peskering me, I'll get on with the PPP when I have time).

The Legendary Avernum RP, of the golden age of Spiderweb Roleplaying.

Also, there are some that are also pretty well:

- Baltazar the Mad RP (archived, but not restored to an online site), by Nazgul
- The Tavern Front RP, by Tommy, same.

Some unfinished/cancelled attempts:

- The Lawlessness of Tumbleweed RP
- The Prohibition RP
- To Slay a Dragon
- Gethein Deludere
- The Fall of the Star Clan
- Shattered Alliance
- The Greywraith Clan

And some that are too horrible to look upon, but make for interesting reading all the same.

- The Sands of Time (Motrax) - I think I have this, but not sure.
- Around the Place in However Long it Takes (ADoS) - Around the Human Body in however long it takes (ADoS)
- Around the Universe in However Long it Takes (ADoS)
- The New Silvar Inn (several incarnations of that)
- Zombie Attack!!! (two incarnations I think).

And lastly, the legendarily First Successful Roleplay of Misc that is lost to us now.

- Join Us! Everyone Needed and Welcome! (Mung)

Aran wants to leave, but his mother won't let him back into the house in his messy clothes. Since he has no other clothes, due to his extended stay in these fora, and due to him having no money (his wallet is in his other trousers), he's stuck.

Or that's how I heard it...
That's why I've been staying here so much recetly, of course. However, around the start of this month I received a very good offer for better lodging at the Santharian forum, which is why I moved. In turn, Logalot has granted me a position of admin on Polaris, which has kept me there. There is little reason I'm here now save for nostalgia. It's like stopping smoking - one post at a time...

I get a weird premonition of what the next 48 pages will look like.

And, in the future, people will say: "Yes, of course, 'Nephils vs. Sliths' was a memorable topic, but it is nothing against the legendary fame of 'Alo vs. the Squirrels'." :P

What Gizmo said.

Issues of free speech aside, the smear campaigning ADoS is engaging in is ridiculous. He is using Thuryl's name, and Thuryl should at least issue a statement on whether ADoS is acting with his endorsement or not.

Honestly, I was leaving for lack of time, but the more I look back, I realize what a pit this place has become.

*briefly reappears out of thin air*

Actually, since a full postcount run places a transfer load of approximately 40 MB on the server (both ironycentral and mine), monthly is about the most frequent it can get before the transfer load just gets too much. When I first tried it out, I was afraid the server might block my IP because it thought it was being DoS-flooded.

Anyway, not much time to post this (from work), so see you all.
